The international challenge cup
canoe races being sailed today in
/ Gravesend bay, New York, while of
much interest to cauoeists have been
rather oyershadoyed this year be-
cause of the more famous trophies
figuring in the international schedule
! for 1914. This cup, however, has a
/ history fully as interesting as either
| the poo, yacht or tennis trophies,
although not so widely heralded. 1t
began with the formation of the New
York Canoe club in 1871. Some four
teen years later the club received an
| intimation that the champions Of
England would be glad to enter q
contest for sailing canoes. In answer
to this suggestion the club offered an
international challenge cup as a per-
petual challenge sailing trophy the
conditions Of which were drawn in
substantial accordance with that es-
tablished for the Americas cup for
larger yachts.
Badcn-Powcll on List.
The first chall,ngers were Messrs.
Baden Powell (brother of the dstin-
guished gecnral Of that name) and
Walter Stuart OF the Royal Canoe
club of London and the English ca
noeists were defeated during the sea-
son of 1885. Two years later the
challenge was repeated without sue
cess and since that date the compe-
ton has been between American and
Canadian canoe racing experts. Be-
ginning in 1890 five attempts have
been made by northern canoeists to
lift the cup, but in each attempt the
challengcrs have been defeated by
the trophy defenders.
The sailing canoes used in these
contests are perhaps the most per-
feet craft In existence, for they have
been so developed as to permit Of
carrying a larger sail spread in pro-
portion TO their size than any other
craft in existence. The canoes are
dCcked over SO as to be water-tight,
with a small cockpit left above the
water line. Across the deck is rigeed
sliding seat twice the width Of the
canoe, permitting the sailor to reach
his entire length beyond the wind
ward side Of the canoe, thus forming
a counter balance to the pressure on
the sails. In some of the previous
contests sail area of over $50 feet
was used but recently the Canoe as
sociation limited the sail to 30 square
feet. Capsizes are frequent but the
canoes, being unsuitable, are soon
righted and the race continued.

PRACTICAL RELIEF WORK

Although it was only in the latter part of last
week that actual relief work was started by the
Home and War Relief Association practical results
of this excellent enterprise already have come to
light
This organization, with its several divisions of
workers. aims to give relief in two directions at the
same time. With funds placed at its disposal it
buys in Harrisburg materials which it gives 10 de-
serving poor people of this city-those who are
vouched for by the Associated Charities-and pays
these poor people to make good, substantial cloth
ing which will be shipped to the Belgian war suf-
ferers.
Thus double purpose is served. Work is given
to the poor of Harrisburg, who are enabled in this
way to obtain needed assistance without becoming
objects of charity and the innocent war victims
abroad to become the recipients of much-needed
warm apparel
BY reason of the limited financial resources of
the association it has been decided that limit of
So will be placed on the amount to be paid out for
work done by one person in given week. This
does not mean, however, that week is required to
accomplish the work for which 50 is paid. One
woman, who Saturday received So worth of
work to do, went to the association headquarters
South Front street this morning with all the work
done.
The associations plan has got good start 1t
is the most practical sort of relief work that we
know of. 1t is worthy of the financial support of
all persons who can afford to give

SOME SELF-EvIDENT FACTS

A reviewer of recently published manual on
The Practical Use of Books and Libraries good
naturedly objects to the authors stubborn practice
all through the volume of explaining self-evident
facts Although this author assumes that his read
ers are high school students and woudbe librarians
he insults their intelligence by informing them that
" a dictionary is an alphabetical list of words of
language, with their dervations and meanings
He evidently takes nothing for granted. Going
on the principle of the dictionary itself which de-
fines in detail the commonest words he demon
strates everything carefully as he goes along Tn
like many writers of text books, he leaves nothing
to the Imagination. He is unrelentingy thorough
ITO use an index he explains, ''look for the
name of what is wanted in its alphabetical place.
as in dictionary or telephone directory
In order to make this more clear, it should be
added that if the name of what is wanted cannot
be found in the dictionary the individuals spelling
is manifestly defective and he ought to take a
course in the subject. In case of the telephone
directory, however, he promptly call up the
information clerk and worry her about it.
Then too, in addition to the information that
the title of book usually gives hint of the
books S contents we are led to remark that the
of books author generally intimates who
wrote the book.

recently made that the new British war loan of
$1,750,000,0O0 was oversubscribed by more than
s1000O0000 1t indicates the patriotism of the Brit
ish subjects.
While no one, perhaps, would question the Sc
curity of British war loan or would regard it as
anything except safe investment the rate of in
terest on such an issue is for below what could be
obtained on many other securities that are recog-
nized gilt edge" Indeed, pointed out by
British financial authority, the 81, 600 loan
just foated put out at interest rate that is
112 per cent. lower than that paid on the bonds
most recently issued in German to finance the war
Yet the English people are patriotic enough to go
down into their pockets and produce $l00,o0OOOO
more than the amount asked for when they could
have put all the amount of, the subscriptions in
other securities that would have yielded them far
more return
There are different kinds of patriotism than that
displayed by brave soldiers on the field of battle
One of these is that shown by the persons in Great
Britain who provide the sinews of war" in the
form of British sovereigns.
Rumors from sources have been circulated,
though of doubtful origin, that Great Britain, with
her lack of system of compulsory military service,
has had some difficulty in obtaining all the recruits
she needs for the army in the present conflict The
fact that the British people have freely lent
money to the government in the crisis of the war,
when they could have invested it to so much more
advantage elsewhere,-say in America where big
rates of interest are offered now on high grade
stocks and bonds,-may be taken proof that,
even if it is true that there has BEEN difficulty in
getting enough British subjects to enlist in the
fighting forces, it has not been through any lack
of patriotism.
