The Fee In the Orient.

The fez or tarbush is limited by no
considerations of nationality or faith.
1t is the almost universal head cover
ing Of the eastern and southern lands
of the Mediterranean and has been
widely distributed in the still active
diffusion Of Mohammedanism. This
type Of felt hat without brim is Of the
utmost antiquity and seems to have
undergone no marked change save the
tassel from the early monumental rec
ord Of the E%uphrates valley. The des-
ignation fez. comparatively modern in
its application, derives from the oasis
Of that name, which was long consid-
cred the only source of dyestuffs which
could give the peculiar shade Of red

HAS AN EIGHT STORY FALL
Commissions Only Bad Effect of New
York Workman's Accident.

Philip Brady Of New York fell through
an opening at the thirty-sixth floor and
landed on the twenty-eighth floor of
the new Municipal building in ourse
Of construction. He was stunned by
the fall, but when he was removed to
a hospital it was found that he had
received only Commissions of the back.
Brady is forty-one years old. He
was employed as a laborer in the build
ing. The floor where he was working
is almost at the top Of the tower. The
opening was in the nature Of a shaft
to permit of the easy hauling Of ma
terial used in the construction of the
building. This shaft runs from the
twenty-eighth floor to the top of the
tower.
In falling. Brady clutched at beams
that We're protruding from the floors
and as his hold was broken he dropped
against a beam that was standing up
right in the shaft. He practically slid
down this to the bottom.-New York
Times.

STREET OF PRINCETON.
KETCHAM OF YALE.

as already won when the Wanted toe
expert of the Blues smashed their JOY
GUS smiles into miserable frowns.
Princeton has been working logged
ly to turn the tables this year. The
defeat by Dartmouth was a surprise.
but it spurred the men to greater eff
forts in training and in developing the
execution of their plays.
Yale outclasses Princeton in the kick
ing department. and this fact may de-
termine the result. as all the colleges
are playing very much of Il kicking
game this year. Pumpelly is the star
booter of the Ellis. He has been on the
sick list a great deal. If be is able to
so into the game against Princeton the
Jerseyites will have much to worry
about when the Ellis are within striking
distance of their goal. owing to the
long range of Pumpelly's drop kicks.
Ketcllam of Yale will. of course, be
an anchor in the line. He has been All
American center for two years.
Against him will be Swart of Prince
ton. who is not in Ketcham's class.
HOBBY Baker. captain of Princeton,
will be likely at any moment to pull
off a sensational run through a broken
field. The Yale ends must get down
on him very quickly and very close in
case of kicks. for once HOBBY gets a
good start running back a punt he is
apt to go dangerously far.
The Yale line is good and is stronger
than the back field. The many changes
made in the lineup show that the
coaches have not been entirely salts
fed with past performances.
Princeton's backs size up better than
those of the New Havenites. The
Princeton team is faster than the Ellis.
and this fact will have it's effect.
Princeton is better fixed on the ends
than Yale. but outside of those posi-
lions the New Haven forwards are SUI
perior to their rivals. At quarterback
Princeton has had no difficulty. Of
course. with Baker on the job. but at
New Haven the coaches have been
sorely put. trying n man and then
another. STREET at fullback is an ADLER
line bucker than any of the Yale men.
Taking the whole situation into con-
sideration ut each college, I think the
teams are about evenly matched.
Johnny Mack, the Yale trainer. held
the watch on the punts of Knowles
and Guernsey the other day. 1t show
ed that from the time the ball left the
center's hands on the pass to the kick
er to the time it was kicked forty-fve
yards down the field and caught by the
receiver just sever seconds on an av-
erage were consumed.

BOIL WEEvIL is BEATEN.
President of the Southern Railway Tells
of Planters, Success.

President of the Southern Railway Tells
of Planters Success.
That farmers in the territory into
which the Mexican boil weevil has
spread, after having taken the advice
Of agents Of the Southern railway.
were able to produce cotton success
fully, in spite of the weevil. has been
demonstrated. according to President
Finley of the railway company. who
lately made a trip through the south.
"The practical demonstration Of the
possibility Of controlling the weevil in
the territory east of the Mississippi
river" he said. sis one Of more than
incidental Importance. 1t means that
the cotton is still to be the leading
crop in that territory. Special atten-
ton is being given to forage crops and
to corn. Formerly southeastern farm
ers bought large quantities Of western
cor for their farm animals. Now
there are many who have corn for
sale. The cotton crop in the south
east, while not as large as in some
years. is good and is being sold at an
unusually good average price"
He declared that the general pros
perity Of the section is largely de-
pendent upon agricultural conditions
and that farming in the southeast is
SO distinctively progressive that there
is every reason to look to the future
with confidence.

LOSE TWO YEARS OF LIFE.
Noted Educators Condemn the Fads In
Schools of Today.

Noted Educators Condemn the Fads In
Schools of Today.
Two years of useful life are lost to
every American under existing educa-
tional conditions. due to the increased
fads adopted by schools and made part
of their compulsory curriculum. This
is the finding Of a body of eminent
educators. headed by President James
H. Baker of the University Of Colo
RADIO. whose report has just been is
sued by the United States bureau Of
education in Washington.
THE great mistake in our education
Is to suppose" says the report. that
quantity and strain constitute educa-
ton. Education is a question of doing
a few essential things well and with
out overstrain. The college has COM
mitted a grievous mistake in demand
ing more in quantity than in quality
produced under conditions of healthy
normal development"
The educators. who. say the bureau
officials. spent years investigating con-
ditions. would have the elementary
education Of the young occupy only
six years instead of eight. They would
have the student pass through high
school and college so as to be prepared
either to enter the world at the age of
twenty or. If DESTROYS Of taking up a
profession. enable him to be equipped
within two or four years later.
