HOMES IN FAR NORTH
FOR FUTURE MILLIONS
Why Great Hudson Bay Project
interests Men.

The reason why the Hudson Bay
project is advocated so warmly IS
that this bay itself, described pE
some as 1.-THE Mediterranean of the
North" is the third largest sea IN
the world. and gives access to a re-
gion that promises to rival IN Inc
future the group of northwestern
States OF the American Union.
The area of the Mediterranean is
971. 900 square miles: of the Baltic,
$50. 900; of Hudson Bay, 100000. Its
length is 800 miles and breath 800,
and. compared with the great lakes,
ii is a veritable ocean, for Lake SUI
perior's area is only $1,000 square
miles; Lake Huron's but 2S.0Oo; Lake
Michigan's a scant 22.500; Lake Erie's
merely $500 and Lake Ontarlo's barely
7.240.
The outlet of Hudson Bay to the
Atlantic is Hudson Strait, nearly SOC
miles long, with an average breadth
OF 100 miles, its narrowest width oelne
sixty miles, so that this whole marine
waste is a great landlocked sea, sus-
ceptfble of development into mag
nificent commercial waterway.
The far-stretching eNpanse OF con
tinent which drains into it, formerly
known as Rupert's Land, after Prince
Rupert, the famous cavalry genera
and tirst governor of the Hudson Bas
Company. has become the seat OF
what may far outstrip the empires OF
old and become the homes of peacefu
and prosperous millions. --FWiew Of

BOYS IN DANGER FROM
PERNICIOUS LITERATURE

Scarcely a boy is safe from the
influence of harmful and pernicious
literature" That is the statement of
Franklin X, Matthews, chief scout
bookworm of the Boy Scouts of
America. who is developing a plan
for the culture of boys by the books
they like best. He says: Il have
been perfectly amazed to find what
the true situation is as regards what
boys are really reading and the
forces that are being used by private
publishing companies to promote the
sale of their vicious and mediocre
books.
II am free to say that under cir
eumstances as / have found them out
in the last few weeks there is
scarcely boy who is safe from the
influence of harmful and pernicious
literature. In one of the very best
preparatory schools in the country /
found these books being circulated
almost without let or hlndrance, and
il was recently brought to my atten-
ton that one of the very best de-
nominational publishing houses is an
agent for their distribution. All these
facts add several elements to the
problem calling for most aggressive
action on our part"

That accounts for two clubs that

Perhaps there will be others. The

HARVARD HAS A
FEATHERWEIGHT
CREW FOR 1918

BOSTON. March Harvard crew
prospects for the 1918 races are prob
lematical, according to the forecast
of Captain Charles T. Ables, of the
varsity eight. The loss of veteran
oarsmen through graduation leaves a
big gap in the varsity squad The
situation depends on last years
freshmen. Harvard men look for a
light crew this year, unless some
heavy candidates make good Cap
tain Ables's forecast follows:
"rhe outlook for the coming year
is rather problematical There is a
large hole caused by the graduation
of five members of last years eight,
There is, however, a wealth of mate
rial We are particularly fortunate
in having three good strokes, PRIME,
of last years university four, and
Harwood. The last-named rowed six
in his freshman boat last year, but
was used as stroke of the second uni
Versity during the rowing last fall
From the form he then displayed he
will be able to press the other two
hard for the position. e. d. Morgan,
who rowed three, in the university
four last June, is the most prominent
candidate for seven. The material,
therefore, for these two important
positions is all that could be desired.
Concerning the other positions,
there is considerably more doubt
Mills at five, Goodale at four, Reyn-
olds at three, all last years uni
again. Trumbull, another university
four man of last year, showed up well
at six during fall practise. Stratton,
who rowed in the eight two years
ago, and MacYicar another member
of last year sefreshman boat, are the
most promising candidates for two.
Other men who have shown up well
in practise and will make the COM
petition for the above mentioned men
keen are II. Meyer. who rowed seven
on the freshmen last syear; Murray
who broke his arm shortly before
going down to New London last year;
Curtis, who did we'll at seven in the
second university last fall, and j. S.
Morgan.
ANY definite prophecy as to just
what kind of a crew we can turn
out is impossible to make. In all
probability the boat will be lighter
than in former years, averaging be-
tween 40 and 173 pounds. The speed
of the crew will depend entirely upon
the outcome of a mass of material,
absolutely inexperienced for the most
part as far as university rowing is
concerned, for the boat will have to
be built up on a nucleus of only two
or three veterans, and the remaining
seats will have to be filed from last
years four or freshman eight"

THE hardest battle l ever took
part in was with Peter Sullivan. a
dangerous lightweight from Fail
River, Mass, says Rudy Unholz.
I'm this battle boxed sixteen
rounds without knowing what | was
doing. I knocked Sullivan down five
times in the fifth round, while
noundering around. groggy from a
knoci-down punch he handed me in
tho second, and from which l didn't
recover until the nineteenth.
Boxing fans who saw Sullivan
box me at Ogden, Utah, November
%, 1907, will Vouch for what | say.
Two sorts of knoekdowns featured
the scrap-the wallop behind the
nitts and the fumes of champagne.
If 1t hadn't been for the grape I'd
have eased away for the ten-count
instead of earning a draw.
''When ! met Sullivan | had

Stetes, but was confident / could
more than hold my own with the
Fall River boxer.
"A few days previous to this

Thompson, but the promoters were
good enough to give me another
chance.
Like Thompson, Sullivan was one
of those rushing, am-bang boxers
who don't know how to stop. As l
recall the fight. no love was lost from
the first tap of the bell. We hur-
ried to the middle of the ring and
began to slug.
