ARE PREPARING
LONG SCHEDULES
Local College E|evens Will
Play Difficult Lists of Games
Next Fall.
GEORGETOWN TO PUT
FORTH GREAT EFFORTS
Blue and Gray Arranging Con-
tests That Will Tax Its
Strength to Utmost.
BY II. C. BYRD.

The local college foot ball manage
ments are arranging the heaviest list of
games ever played by the institutions
they represent. According to present
plans the Georgetown, Catholic Uni
versity, Gallaudet and Maryland Agricul-
tural elevens will be compelled to
meet the strongest teams that have
ever appeared on their schedules. 1t may
be that there have been individual games
in which larger institutions have been
played, but it is certain that, game for
game. the 1913 schedules will average
much higher than in previous seasons.
The Georgetown team, IL it finishes the
arrangement that it is now undertaking,
will have a schedule that will tax it to
the utmost. Not only does it contemplate
meeting several big northern elevens on
the dates on which it has been used to
play hard games, but it is also figuring
on having two or three contests of some
caliber on dates On which it has pre-
viously met weak teams or else not
played at all.
1t might be mentioned as an instance,
that Georgetown is contemplating a game
with Holy Cross November -, the Satur-
day just before THANKSGIVING. On that
date it did not play a game last fall nor
the fall previous. If the Blue and Gray
schedules a contest with Holy Cross that
date. with the Virginia game coming
week previous, and big game, also
Thanksgiving it is apt to go in for some
thing it cannot very we'll carry through.
May Meet Cornell.
Other games Georgetown is trying to
schedule are with Cornell. Indians and
one or two with other northern schools.
Just what institutions will constitute the
schedule in full have not as yet been de-
cideu upon. but there is little doubt that
all through the list of games will be an
extremely difficult one.
Catholic University plans to bring to
Washington the teams 1t met here last
year. and also Is trying to arrange a
game or two extra with larger instltu-
tons. The Brooklanders intend to play
at least two big teams besides the ones
they met last fall. Dickinson and Villa
nova appeared here last fall. and besides
these, negotiations are being carried on
with some of the other institutions of a
like caliber.
Gallaudet will also play heavier and
longer schedule than it had last fall. The
Kendall Green eleven is considering TAX
ing on several teams IL has not met in
previous years. One feature OF the sched-
ule Gallaudet will play is that 1t will
not be a BILE to go against the Hopkins
team for the first time in a long while.
The Buff and Blue have been unable to
agree on a date as yet and 1t was stated
by the manager of next years eleven
that it was probable no contest would
take place between the schools.
Richmond College and William and
Mary College are two of the institutions
which will be played next fall that have
not been met before. These will be added
ton of Johns Hopkins. which may not be
PLAYED.

WHEAT FOR ARID LANDS

EXPERTS in agriculture, who are inves-
tigating desert cultivation, dry farming,
soil robbery, and kindred problems, hint
that the bread producing interests of this
country may in time look to Palestine for
help in the cultivation of our wheat crops
We have already brought from the Orient
the Smyrna fig, the seedless grape, the oats
of Kherson, and the hard wheats of Russia
and Turkey; but the list of our importa-
ened. In the East are the wild types that
our prehistoric ancestors employed in pro-
ducing the cultivated crops of our times
For instance, the little country of Pales-
tine is specially rich in agricultural primi-
tive and cultivated types. 1t is only one
sixteenth the size of California; but it
shows three thousand species of flora. From
Palestine perhaps will come the varieties of
fruits, forage plants, and grains that will
flourish in the vast semiarid regions of the
United States. There are some three hun
dred million acres of such land in this coun-
try that will never become wheat produc-
ing unless new species of plant is found
None of those now cultivated, it is
averred, can withstand either the heat or
the drought. In Palestine has been found
the wild emmer growing in all manner of
poor and rocky places, five thousand feet
above sea level and eight hundred feet
below the sea.
Emmer is held to be the prototype of our
wheat of today. 1t is found in great abund-
ance in Egyptian tombs of four thousand
years or more before the Christian era 1t
has been found in the lake dwellings of Wan
gen and Robenhausen, dating back to the
end of the Neolithic Epoch and a little prior
to the Bronze Age.
By the selection and crossing of this wild
cereal, which prefers poor, rocky, shallow,
dry soil, and thrives in the absence of any
cultivation, it is thought that we should be
able to produce.new species that will be per-
sistent and hardy. In this way, it may be,
we can extend the cultivation of wheat to
regions where it is at present impossible by
reason of the low quality of the soil and the
severity of the climate. Out of thirty-six
plants sowed last year, thirty-five came to
fruition, and some of them produced heav-
Ter and more beautiful seeds than any of our
cultivated wheats.

FACTS ABOUT BABIES

7 NEVER knew before had one," said the
professor of physics to his bachelor assist
ant, @just how closely our science could be
applied to baby. have been astounded at
the following true conclusions:
GAS two similar bodies vary in weight as
the cubes of their dimensions, find that
baby two feet long should weigh lust about
one-sixteenth of man five feet high;
also that, as the surfaces of two similar
bodies vary as the square of their dimen-
sions, baby as before would have about
one-sixth the surface of the man. So the ex-
tent of surface proportional to weight in the
baby is vastly greater than in the adult; in
fact, square foot of the baby's skin would
shield just one-third the substance of what
square foot would on an adult
"Arguing from this, and knowing that the
rate of cooling of solid depends on the ex-
tent of surface, found that baby got cold
quicker, or warm quicker, when exposed to
fire than man. Also, as any living body
is higher in temperature than the surround
ing air and has to lose heat continually
the rate of loss depending on the surface,
it is readily seen that baby, in order to
keep up normal temperature, has to furnish
more heat in proportion to its weight than
man, and therefore has to eat more in pro-
portion to its weight than man. To prove
that baby gives out an enormous amount

wrapping a heavy blanket around it. In
half an hour the temperature under the
cover will be almost unbearable to the hand,
and the baby will be found covered with
sweat.
@The same knotty problem comes up
when the baby is bathed. You know your
self how cool you feel when you battle in a
cold room in warm water, but in very little
of it, so that most of your wet body is out of
the water, on account of the heat of your
body being taken to evaporate the watero
The baby suffers much worse on account of
that same big proportion of surface.
"But find one encouraging thing in this
peculiar geometrical problem of the human
form. find that if a dress is made for my
mother five feet high, it takes only one-sixth
the cloth to do it, although the dresses were
made in exactly the same style"
