JAPANESE WANT
 FOOTBALL TICKETS
Oriental Enthusiasts Anxious to
 See Yale-Harvard Contest.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 7.-Just what method of rapid transit is contemplat- ed by applicants in Japan for tickets to the Harvard-Ya1e football game is not disclosed but graduate manager of athletics Moore says that among the thousands of applications for seats he has received several were from that country. Many others are from the Pacific coast the middle west and the south. The time limit for the filing of requests for places by undergraduates and graduates expired yesterday. MT. Moore said the number received was several thousand in excess of any ever before filed for a Harvard-Yale contest and that many cannot be granted if Yale takes the half of the seating capacity to which it is enti- tied.

k Waistcoats.

Waistcoats are much in evidence
Some are long and narrow, others
quite wide and nc more apparent
than a mans waistcoat worn with the
morning cutaway coat.
These w~aistcoats, like the braided
coats, are mostly to be seen In ben
galines, silk crepons and other silken
fabrics. The classical tailor-made Is
at its newest in violet, green or white
serge in thick diagonal rib. It's con-
struction is rather curious, for al
though there are no draperies the
skirts are SO cut about in strangely
shaped points and squares that the
result is slightly puzzEng.
Anyhow, the effect is quite interest
ing, and, what is the chief point, 1t Is
very new and very difficult for indif-
ferent workmen to copy successfully.
For this reason it will have a certain
popularity.

Is somewhat slow. When the plants
reach q height of 10 to IA inches,
there is an apparent cessation of
growth. The first indication Of the
disease is usually conspicuous at this
time. The preliminary symptoms are
q light green color of the foliage, par.
ticularly the lower leaves; this ia ac-
companied during the heat Of the day
by a partial whiting and an inward
and upward rolling Of the upper
leaves. The color gradually changes
to a sickly yellow, which slowly and
evenly covers the affected vines. The
whiting and rolling Of the leaves ex-
tends to all parts Of the affected
plants. As the disease progresses the
field takes on a notified yellow to light
green color. The growth of the
foliage is greatly restricted, the wilt
ing becomes more pronounced and
there Is associated much tip-burn ow-
ing to the failure of the leaflets to
fully O at night from the wilt
Of the midday. Occasionally hills will
show only one or two vines afflicted.
Plants which early succumb to the
disease pull up easily, manifesting q
badly rotted condition of the root.
AS a rule the blighted stems do not
fall, but remain quite erect, except
for the dropping top.
There Is much evidence to indi-
cate that many growers r practicing

When Soils Cease to Produce.

The trouble with soils when they
