YALE GRADUATES GET FOUR SEATS
 FOR ''BIG GAME''

New Haven, Sept. 25.7Graduates of Yale will be allowed four tickets each for the Princeton and Harvard foot ball game this fall, as ample accom- modations will permit of the removal Of the restriction of two tickets in force for several years, 1t is announce ed today. The Yale ticket department is to mail out blanks to all graduates before Oct. 5- Applications for the Princeton game close Oct, 27 and for the Harvard game Oct. 31.
 A survey of the engineering condi- tions at the Yale bowl indicates that work is progressing well The grid iron has been turfed and could be 1sed Oct. 1, but no games will be played prior to the one with Harvard late in November.
 An early estimate Is that .61 600 per sons will be at the initial game in the bowl and the New Haven road off, cia1s have gi1en their opinion on the matter of transportation that g trains alone will be needed to transport the crowd from the Grand Central Station, New York A number of large and new problems have arisen in connec- ton with handling the crowd for the first time and the committee of 21 in charge of the bowl is giving them at tentlon. It is officially stated that the price of tickets to the Yale-Harvard game will be $2 each and not an in- creased price was reported re- gently.

JUST BEGINNING TO DEVELOP,

The Russian Empire covering one seventh of the land area of the gloo and only sparsely settled in spite of it's nearly 17O,00O,OOO inhabitants, offers an interesting subject for study for both business men and economics. This country today pre- sents a picture of economic develop ment comparable with that of the United States of three or four gen erations ago, in that Russia is now chiefly g producer of the raw mater iaIs derived from nature, such as grain, timber, hides, and minerals and is just beginning to develop manufacturing industries of import ance. Its exports are almost en- tirely foodstuffs and raw and semi manufactured products, while it imports all of the higher grades of manufactures which it's people re- quire.
 The total value of the foreign trade of European Russia, in 1912, according to official figures, was more than S1,2O0,OOO,OUO, in which the United States participated to the extent of only S53,OOO,OOO. Howev- CT, the indirect trade between the two countries passing through for eign middlemen brings the value of the sales of American products to Russia 70 SS0,OOO,0OO, and the ex- ports from Russiaa to the United states to sS0,OOO,O0O. Largely ow- ing to the lack of knowledge among American business men Of the DOS abilities of the Russian market, the trade between tho two coun- tries is on the threshold only of it's possible development. The mono graph On Russia just published by the Bureau of Foreign and Domes- tic Commerce, of the Department of Commerce, entitled Handbook on Russia, should therefore be of special interest.
 This book contains nearly 26O pages, with two maps, and includes a comparative description of the economic situation in European Rus sia, by Consul General John H. Snodgrass, stationed at Moscow; re- views of the commerce of various districts in 1912, by the American consuls stationed in Russia; and a very timely description of commer- cial and industrial conditions in Si- beria, by Consul John F. Jewell, stationed at Yladiostok. To those who still regard that country as frozen waste the picture presented by Mir. Jewell will be a revelation.
 He compares Siberia today with Canada of a generation ago, and points out the possibilities Of great trade development that lie in the great natural resources of the country.

Made In Chains In the Balkans and
 Laundered In China.
 Bread is made in different shapes and in different ways. according to the taste of the various nationalities MT. L. Lodian In Forest und Stream says:
 "The bread of the Balkans. curiOusly made in the form of chains, is sold from the arms and necks of itineraut pedlers. In tent life In Balkania the detached links are often used for fun at Quoits or serve a more useful pur- pose in suspending temporary curtains and awnings Then when the campers run out of provisions they literally eat their curtain rings! The Japanese bamboo bread. so named from its shape, is a somewhat similar product It is sliced and sold in strings.
 "The sun dried bread sheeting of cen. tral Asia looks much like chamois leather and Is made up in pieces of bed sheet size. It is compounded from flour and raisin sirup and is highly es- teemed by coffee drinkers. In the bazaars of the caliphates it is ire Quently seen hanging in place of avn lngs to shield the stalls from the sun.
 "One of the straugest crackers comes from Russia It is known as fit the mouth beg and besides being much appreciated as q tea biscuit, is quite commonly used by merchants ignorant of the three R's as makeshift abacus in counting money, a lower string of ten serving for kOpecks and an upper string of the same number represent ing roubles. More picturesque still is its usage as an extempOre ring for marrying poor peasants with whom the gold is lacking.
 Most singular of all, however, Is the peculiar pIth bread of China. which, iD. stead of being baked, is Iauudered out In narrow strips with a hot iron, much in the manner that a collar receives it's finishing It is made from the cen. tral tissue of the fatsia trees and is valued highly by the citizens of the .fowery republic as dainty cracker to eat with their little cups of wateTy, unsweetened tea"

VICTORY IN DEFEAT.

Prohibitionists won a psychological
victory in the house yesterday, when
a majority of the Congressman voted
to submit national prohibition to the
nation in the form of a constitutional
amendment.
This vote will strengthen the forces
at work in the interests of national
prohibition. That such a measure
could be brought to a vote is alone a
triumph which was undreamed of a
few years ago.
The question probably will be sub
united to the people within the next
few years. Those favoring national
prohibition are increasing daily. In
fact, during the last decade the cause
has made the greatest strides since
the fight against John Barleycorn was
commenced.
That the issue is not a party one
was demonstrated by the manner in
which party lines were shattered
when the vote was taken. Under
wood and Mann fought in unison to
defeat the Hobson amendment.
The result Of This test vote indi-
Gates that the adherents of national
prohibition can best fight their cause
within the regular political parties,
rather than under the guidance of a
party organized solely to fight the Ii
quor traffic.

DANGER IN RUBBER,

The Public Health Service has late.
ly investigated the rubber used in
nipples and toys. All specimens ex'
amined contained iron and aluminium
In the red rubbers either zinc oxid
or magnesia was used, in the black
rubbers zinc oxid and barytes. Anti
m0ly was found in four cases out OF
seven among the black rubbers and
in five cases out of eight among the
red rubbers. The three remaining
specimens of red rubber were colored
with Venetian red. The white rub.
Der toys contained clay, zinc oxid and
lbarytes. The use of lead compounds
in rubber preparations in common,
and salts OF mercury are used to
some extent. Either Of these metals
would be highly Objectionable in nip
pies or children's toys. The govern
ment report concludes:
1.-THE articles should be made of a
good grade Of black rubber, free from
shoddy and from antimony, lead, ar
senic and mercury. OF the filters
commonly employed, mag1esia, zinc
oxid and clay are less undesirable,
and barytes Is probably without harm
full influence. There can be no OBJ
lection to a red rubber colored with
iron oxid, although the advantage OF
such a compound will probably not
compensate for the disadvantages OF
its being confused with antimo1y rub
ber."
