ON TAP DAY
DEAN JONES ISSUES ORDER MAX

EVENT PURELY COL
LEGE AFFAIR.

New Haven, Feb. 3-Ohicial an
nouncement is made by Dean Jones
of the Academic department at Yale,
that in future no one but undergrad
yates will be allowed upon the cam
pus during Tap Day exercises. This
means that women, who have hereto
fore formed a large and gay portion
of the spectators, will not be allowed
in the GorTnitories, nor in places of
vantage in the dormitory windows,
from which they can gaze down into
made or nlarred socially, according to
the weight they have placed upon cleo
ton to Skull and Bones, Scroll and
Key or VOLTS Head.
There is probability that following
this order, ali graduates. too, may
see the most famous events of under
graduate activity.
The decision to bar the public was
arrived at, it is understood, after con-
ference with officials of the University
and representatives of the societies
concerned in Tap Day exercises The
reason given for the action was dis
many of the spectacular features at
tendant upon the exercises.
When Burton Holmes recently gave
anna at Orchestra Hall, Chicago, he
was seriously interrupted by continual
coughing Of the audience. No one
annoys willingly and if people with
coughs, colds, hoarseness and tickling
in throat would use F'o1ey's Honey &
Tar Compound, they could quickly
cure their coughs and colds and avoid

Yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes.
Oculists have often called attention
to the fact that the eyes are easily ia
tigued by the rejection from white pa
per, especially when the surface is I'M
der a strong light Since green is
known to be the color most restful to
the eyes, it is a common practice to
use wall papers and draperies of that
color in libraries and private studies.
For writing paper, however, green is
an unsatisfactory color. 1t imparts a
reddish appearance to the writing and
makes it hard to read. Yellow writing
paper is not open to the same objec-
ton. In strong daylight it is softer
than pure white paper, and in artificial
light is not too dark. Black letters on
q yellowish background show clear
and distinct. Many mathematician
use yellow paper in figuring long and
difficult calculations, and many writer's
have adopted it for manuscripts

Gen. dupont on
Subject
MEET TONIGHT TO
AGAIN TALK MATTER

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del, March 1s-Another
conference by the joint committee OF
the Legislature to consider and re-
port proposed amendments TO the
boulevard corporations law. TO enable
construction of the DUPONT Boulevard
was held last evening, but nothing
definite was done and the committee
adjourned 10 meet tomorrow night At
that meeting it probably will be deter
mined whether or not Delaware is to
get the DUPONT Boulevard, for there
will be one more legislative day re-
maining-Friday- consideration OF
general legislation
Like all other meetings, that OF the
committee last night was private The
committee has before it the amend
ments drawn by the lawyers desig-
mated to assist the committee with
the legal work, the amendments be-
ing intended to make effective some
changes in the law that General du-
Pont said he would accept during the
hearing before the Legislature last
month. At the meeting OF the COM
mittee on Monday. a question arose in
the minds of some OF the members
as to whether one or two of the
amendments as drawn would be ac-
cepted by General DUPONT and the
Coleman DUPONT Road, Incorporated
This doubt was raised by statements
of and letter submitted by Robert
II. Richards, counsel for General du-
Pont. after a conference he had with
the latter.
The proposed amendments over the
acceptance OF which there is a doubt
is that to reduce the width of tho
right of way for the boulevard from
200 feet to one hundred feet, and the
other is to the manner In which it
is proposed to embody contract be-
tween boulevard corporations and the
State to assure the profits from the
utilization of the right 81 way being
turned over to the State.
An effort was made By the commit
tee to get into communication with
General DUPONT, but Mr. Richards
learned that he Is in New York and
is not expected to return before Sat
urday. While he was not invited. the
/ committee expressed q willingness to
, hear General DUPONT tomorrow night
/ should he care to make a statement
then.
One of the members Of the joint
boulevard committee said that as the
time was growing short, and as the
lawyers were agreed as to the amend
ments they submitted TO the commit
tee, a plan was being considered 10
pass them as submitted. providing for
a reduction of the right of way to 100
feet, reservation Of a portion of the
Z right of way for a trolley line. an
increase of the public roadway from
thirty feet to forty feet, the creation
of a commission to fix rentals fol-
public utilities using the boulevard,
a requirement that at least one pub
lie utility should be constructed on
the entire boulevard within three
years after the roadway is completed.
also an amendment embodying a con
tract that the boulevard corporations
should turn their profits from the
right of way over 10 the State and a
few others of minor Importance.

OLD SLAVE MARKET

In the middle Of the principal thor
oughfare Of the town OF Louisville,
Ga. stands one of the most historic
little structures In America, the old
slave market. Louisville was the first
permanent capital of Georgia, and the
old slave market was erected soon
after the first government buildings
We're built In 1886.
The planters In the neighborhood
were large slave owners, some OF
them old soldiers, who were given
extensive tracts of land for service in
the war with England, and the cree
tion OF such building can be readily
understood was almost necessity in
this remote period of our history.
The best quality OF post oak was
used In this structure. and now, after
standing long past the century mark,

OSTRICH FEATHERS

Twenty years ago there were few
ostriches in captivity and most OF the
plumes that adorned the ladies' hats
were taken from the wild ostrich. But
today there are great ostrich farms In
this country and abroad. the largest
being In South Africa.
The white ostrich feathers are not
fully developed There are also black
and drab feathers on the same bird,
but when the white feathers are fully
developed they lose great deal Of
their Wilderness, and In the olden days
had to be bleached.
Now the ostriches are blindfolded
with a hood and led into sort OF
crate-iike coop, where the black and
drab feathers are carefully pulled out;
but the white feathers are never pull
ed out, as this would SO damage the
great sockets In which the large quilts
grow that no more would be forth
coming, so the quilts OF the white
feathers are carefully cut off and the
quills allowed to remain for several
months, when they come out naturally
and the new feathers start.
Fifty years ago there we're only So
tame ostriches known In all South
Africa. And In that year only is
pounds of feathers were exported, and
they came for the most part from
Wild birds, brought down by the hunt
ers. Last year there were about $780,
GOO domesticated ostriches in South
Africa, and nearly 100000 pounds of
feathers were exported at value OF
more than million dollars.
