Uses of Silver.

The largest single use for silver, out
side of the manufacture of silver plat
ed ware, is estimated to be in the
manufacture of Photographic plates,
films and paper. The manufacture of
films for moving picture use has now
become an enormous business. and it
is proba BILE that in the future this will
bring the largest consumption of sill
yer. The silver is used in photography
for making the light sensitive emulsion
and is principally the bromide of silver.

There is authority for the contention
that raw potatoes are pared. while po-
tatoes boiled with their jackets on
may be peeled 1t is fine distinction,
but logical. You pare a thing by TAX

substance of the thing itself. But to

Photoeraphing Stars.

Star photography is one Of the most
tedious operations known. In some
cases the exposure of the plate must
last for several hours. During all this
time both the plate and telescope must
be moved so that the image of the star
will be stationary on the plate. The
exposure for a star of the sixteenth
magnitude is two hours. and only the
image of one at a time can be secured,
unless those adjoining happen TO be of
the same size.

The Sin of Trousers.

Trousers were not introduced into
England without a struggle-a strug-
gle in which the great Duke Of We'll
lington suffered his only defeat, for it
is on record that in 1914 Wellington
was refused admission to Almack's
because he wore trousers instead Of
breaches and silk stockings" Next
year trousers were admitted to AL

How to Keep Resolutions

If there is one characteristic that
more than anything else makes a boy
weak and inefficient and undermines
his chances of success, it is his inabil-
ity to carry out what he intended to
do. In the case of any single plan,
he may not care greatly whether he
executes it or forgets it, but one
lapse of purpose prepares him tor a
second and third one starts habit
that may last him through life. The
question of how to keep resolutions is
therefore very practical one.
There are two well-tested rules for
keeping resolutions. The first one is:
Observe that you are not to tell
everybody; the boaster does that,
and he is the last person in the world
to accomplish anything. But select
some one person, your father or your
mother, your brother or your sister,
your teacher or your chum. 90 to
him and tell him that you intend to
do certain thing at certain hour
tomorrow. Use precisely the same
method about any bad habit that you
wish to drop.
You have now acquired powerful
ally,-your confidant's expectations,
and when the hour comes, you will
march up promptly and do the thing
that you have been wavering over
for weeks. 1t is as if two persons
were working at it, instead of one.
The other rule is as simple, and
even more effective. Make up your
mind, after due thought. The rea-
son why most resolutions tail is
because they never where resolutions
in the true sense, but only vague
hopes and desires. You get up in
the morning, and think it would be a
good thing if after breakfast you
should clean the snow from the side
walk; but while you are eating your
breakfast, the boys come shouting
for you to help build snow fort in
the pasture, and when you get back
at noon, you see that your mother
has had to hire man to take care of
your duties.
The trouble is that you had never
really determined, you should have
stopped a moment and said deliber-
ately to yourself, Il am going to clean
the sidewalk. The idea would then
have fixed itself in your mind, and
would have had something of the
force of command. You would have
made the boys wait while you shovel
ed off the snow, and probably they
would have helped you.
1t often makes a vast difference
when you do your thinking. Do not
wait until it is time to act. Begin
early, and yet not too early. The
best time to make a resolution for
the day is the night before. If you
have a venture ahead of you that
requires courage, if you have habit
that you cannot break, sit down for
five minutes just before going to bed,
and solemnly, firmly, make up your
mind. Try to believe that you are
going to do it. Go to bed and to
sleep SO believing. In the morning
you will find that your customary
doubts and hesitations have vanished.

Terry Nelson Stops
Cronin; Kelly and
Superior in Draw

MACON. GA, Feb. 14-Terry Nelson
the Greek lightweight, stopped Jim
Cronin, of this city, in the third round
OF a scheduled ten-round affair last
night The local boy put up a game
battle. going down no less than five
times. Nelson's weight advantage and
added experience helped him dispose OF
Cronin. A left hook TO the jaw, fol-
lowed by right cross to the same
place turned the trick.
The treat OF the evening, however,
was the six-round semi wlndup between
Joe Superior and Battling" Kelly, both
of Atlanta. At the end of the sixth ses-
sion Referee Long called the go draw
and the verdict was Just 10 both.
The boys fought every minute during
the six rounds and II was only the
great cleVerness displayed by superior
that gave him an even break. Kelly
outweighed Superior several pounds, but
the latters speed helped him out OF
many tight places.

| was not entirely unprepared for
this outcome to the game. The
Georgia team is known and admit
ted to be about the strongest col
leEex aggregation ever turned out in
Dixie, and they have been planning
and figuring on this little coup for
some time. Then, too, we may take
into consideration, when figuring
how 1t all happened, the fact that
Columbus has been playing a hard.
long schedule of games, and has had
to keep herself cooked and primed
for a steady run of all-comers. She
had a recent nerve-racldng run-in
with the Vanderbilt team, and that
mill alone doubtless left her some
what frazzled as to nerve force.

which case they will certainly be
entitled to the southern champion
ship. But you can bank on It that
Columbus is going TO be we'll on
edge for that contest, and as they
have shown themselves about the
most consistent performers on a
foreign court of any team in the
South it is by no means foregone
conclusion that they won't get back
at the Red and Black.
AT any rate, here is another straw
to show that the college teams are
gaining ground rapidly on their ath-
letic club and Y. NJ. c. A. rivals.

Of the championship cup.
In consequence, both teams are
straining every nerve in way none
of the other college squads can APP
proach. Both are going to have ex-
ceptionally good teams even for
them, and there appears no doubt
that first and second place rests be-
tween them.
Just now Penn looks a shade the
stronger of the two on paper, but
this is largely because of the added
presence OF Ted Meredith. who won
the quarter at the Stockholm Olym-
pic, and who will be eligible because
of being in his second year at Penn.
He is being counted on by the
Quakers not only for first In the
quarter, but for the same place in
the half mile. This is making a
mighty big request OF one man, and
Ted may not be equal to the job.
AS Penn has also lost Mercer, who
scored five points for them last year
in the broad jump. she may find it
difficult to make as many points as
she did last year. However, the
loss of John P. Jones by Cornell in
the mile will even up.
Word comes that Georgia has de-
feated Columbus in Columbus.
