SCIENCE COMING TO AID
OF BOTTOM FARMERS
Experiment Station Working Out Plan
Of House Anchorage and General
Farm Organization.

First hand information for planta-
| tion owners along the Brazos, Colora-
do and other rivers, showing how such
heavy losses of property and life may
be prevented in case of floods such
as have recently been ravaging Gen.
tral and South Texas along these riv-
ers will be given by the Texas Expert
ment Stations. Soon after the waters
of the Brazos began to rise above the
high water mark, near the A. e. NJ.
College, B. Youngblood. director of the
experiment stations. and the staff of
experts of the main station were
among those who carefully watched
the rise of the stream and the conse-
quent ruination of homes and toll of
human life.
"Anchor your houses and your
barns" is Mr.. Youngblood's message
to the farm owners In the overflow re-
gions, and blue prints showing how
this may be done for various types of
construction are now in course of
preparation and will be ready for dis
tribution within few days Working
on plans suggested by Mr.. Young
blood Prof A. Mitchell of the draw
ing department of the college has Just
completed the plans for anchoring
houses. Cabins for negroes, barns and
cheaper houses may be anchored by
nlacing two big logs at right angles
in deep trench under the house and
fastening these bv means of iron bars
to the stills and floor ioists and string
ers of the house. For the better class
of buildings concrete foundations with
iron hars. to be fastened to the slls
and sleeper3 and stringers across the
floor ioists. are planned. The log
method is very cheap one and will
withstand force of more than fortv
tons. The concrete costs more but
viii withstand greater force.
These prints for one, two, three and
four-room houses. for barns and for
foremen's houses and other types of
houses to be found in the bottom dis
tricts may be had by addressing r.

new YORK PAPACY.
Episcopalians Fear Gotham Control of
Entire Church.

Washington, May "A resolution
which, if adopted by the general con-
vention of the Episcopal church in
New York next October would prob
ably give the New York diocese con-
troll of the Episcopal church was
adopted after a spirited contest at the
annual convention of the Washington
diocese here
The resolution was introduced by
Rev. DIR. Randolph H. McKim and
had to do with changing the present
system of delegates elected by each
diocese to the general convention. IT
provided for certain number of dele
gates being elected to represent a
stated number of communicates, in
stead of eight being sent by each do
cese. Thomas Nelson Page was one
of the hackers of the resolution.
The opposition, which was led by
Rev. Clarence Whitemoore, declared
that if the present system is changed
New York will control the church and
may establish a papacy in this country.

MARRY EARL Y-L0WELl
President of Harvard Also Suggests
an Early Education.

Chicago, May s.-An early education
and an early marriage were advocated
by President A. Lawrence Lowell, of Har-
ward university, who addressed the local
alumni at their annual banquet last night.
The modern tendency to hold men in col
lege until they have reached a seasoned
maturity, was cited as grave error by
the speaker.
THE right age to send boy to college
is H. said DR.. Lowell. They enter now
when they are between IS and 10, spend
four years in college. must then go to Jaw
school or medical college and spend some
more time in getting actual experience.
Consequently it is often late in life be-
fore they become settled in profession or
feel themselves able to marry.
"A man is just as mature for our pur-
poses at IT, as he is at 10, he makes
friends quicker and he is more impress
sionable. His fndscretions are harmless.
1t seems to me the less discipline he has
the better man he is. Send the man of
forty to college and he will go to the dogs,
but send US boys when they are II, and
we will guarantee satisfaction or return
the boy"

Beloit, Wis. He is making tour of the
Harvard clubs of the country and will

ventton of the Associated Harvard Clubs

Ithaca, n. Y, May 9.-Francis NJ. Rites,
who became wealthy from his invention
of the governor on steam engines, was
found dead in bed at his country home
near here today. The coroner reported
that from the condition of the body it was
probable that Mr.. Rites had been dead
about six days. The body was discovered
after persons passing the house. which is
on an almost deserted road, had detected
the odor of decomposing flesh and re-
ported it to the authorities.
The body lay in the bed partly covered
with blankets. There were no signs of a
struggle in the room and no marks on
the body. The authorities were unable to
say whether or not it was suicide or
whether Mr.. Rites had been stricken with
indigestion or heart failure.
Since his divorce year ago, Mr.. Rites
had lived alone, employing no servants.
