PRINCETON, Sept. 22.-The hot
weather again handicapped the Tiger
coaches in their work yesterday to
get the Orange and Black warriors
into shape for Rutgers on Saturday
1t was so hot that it was impossible
to scrimmage until near o'clock, and
then darkness put an early halt to 1t.
The REGULAR tailed twice in the BRIEF
period and apparently had more team
work than last week, but their work
was only well done in spots. Law,
who played at halfback last year and
made a name for himself by his Won
derful punting in the Yale game, has
reported. He devoted most of his
time to punting. Ritter, quarterback
on the '04 team. joined the coaching

cooney. '07; Herring, OF; Balm, '09
Stucky 10; Penfield. 10, and EN-

While no reversals of form were re-

in theA women's Metropolitan cham

win their matches yesterday. Miss
Jane Rowson, of Montclair, put up
sterling battle against Miss Marie
Wagner, the national indoor cham

played brilliantly, and for time it
appeared that she might eliminate the
champion. The titleholder, however,
won in the end by more steadiness-

POTASH AS FERTILIZER
By JOHN N. HOFF in New York Sun

The worlds supply of potash comes
from Germany. Their potash mines,
of which some 100 are worked, con-
tain practically an inexhaustible sup
DIV to meet the worlds needs in the
arts and agriculture. Alsace alone can
supply the world
The potash industry is monopoly,
and to prevent an overproduction each
opeartor is allowed to mine and ship
only his quota. If given a free hand
the supply would far exceed the con-
sumption and the price would be very
much less than at present.
Owing to the war the supply OF pot
ash in America is being rapidly eX-
hausted, and the question In every
gardeners and farmers mind is what
he is to do now that there is practi-
cally no more potash to be had.
The avowed object. of the German
potash propaganda has been to stimu..
late and increase the consumption of
potash in every possible way through
out the world. AS consequence many
of our fertilizer mixtures contain more
potash than the other needed plant
foods-nitrogen and phosphorus.
AS matter of fact much less pot
ash is reqpired than is used in agri-
culture. The earth's crust contains
of the three elements used in so-called
complete fertilizers. T..
