has always made a fair showing against English school and club play CTS despite the fact that the Ameri. can collegian is far more at home on the baseball diamond than the crick. ct crease. The initial invasion was made in 1896 and was repeated in 1900, 1904 and 1910. As in past years the squad will consist of 13 members and 17 games will be played between June 25 and July 2S.
 An idea of the rapid advance of aviation abroad can be gained from announcement that France is about to erect an elaborate system of aerial sign posts for the guidance of private and military aviators. The system. which has been outlined by the Aero Club of France and adopted by the war minister is extremely simple, and the signposts. which hhave in reality the form ard aspect of table, pos sess from a military point of view the considerable advantage of being easily and promptly suppressed in case of war. Indeed, the metal trellis work of which they are made, meas- uring 21 feet, z 1-2 inches by 15 feet. , inches, and standing on legs about six feet high, can be turned upside down by one man without difficulty. These sign tables. as they may be called. are to bear only two figures, each measuring 9 feet. 10 inches long and feet 6 34 inches broad, which dimensions will, 1t is calculated, make them visible from an altitude of G. 560 feet, especially as the figures in white enamel will be placed on close ly woven metal trelic work painted blue.
 Judging from the fast times made by the college crews at Poughkeepsie for the intercollegiate regatta meet Friday, new record for course is not improbable if weather and water con ditions are right late in the afternoon of June 26 Cornell, Columbia and Washington have all given indications of possessing varsity eights capable of rowing four miles at high speed The present record is herd by the Cornell crew of 1901, which covered the course in IS minutes, 53 1-3 sec onds. Cornell crews also hold both the two mile freshman record and the Emile varsity four pared time. The freshman eight record of 9 minutes, II 3-5 seconds was made by the 1909 crew and the four cared figures of sJ minutes .01 second by tn four which won on the same day.

a height Of FIVE feet or any intermediate
degree. This has an arm attachment
which bends at any angle in any direc-

A USEFUL COAT HANGER.

A coat hanger may be padded and COW
cred with cretonne or chintz instead OF
silk or ribbon. 1t makes a strong. sub
stantial cover, and IL the chintz is OF a
good design the hanger will be very
quaint and pretty. This would be an
excellent way to utilize your small pieces
of material
Wrap the hook with narrow ribbon
matching some shade in the chintz. A
little different arrangement can be OBJ
tained by twisting in the usual way and
winding the ribbon around the hanger
at the base of the hook; then fastening
it securely with needle and thread. A
rosette of ribbon can be added to the
side of the hook il desired. Scent the
padding before covering or maket sachet

with long. narrow ribbons s0that they

Astrologers interpret the stars today

men. Uranus Venus. Saturn and Jupiter
are all in a strongly malefc aspect
Travel is under an unlucky omen, and
all who go on excursions are warned
of the danger of accidents. especially
those that are due to explosions or fires.
The evil influence Of Uranus Is supposed
to be especially potent where cars and
other electrically propelled vehicles are
concerned.
This government. which tends to incline
men and women to extremes in speech
and action. is likely to produce hasty
words, irritability and nervous excite
ment The health may be affected
through the digestion.
The stars are not propitious for love
affairs. While Venus Is adverse. the in
fiuence of Saturn and Uranus in this con-
figuration gives warning Of the likell-
hood OF reception on the part OF wooers.
Danger of drowning IL said to be
increased by this rule Of the planets.
The summer will record many accidents,
especially among those who sail boats
or operate small craft on the water.
Jupiter is in a place which il held to
be evil for those who buy. Transactions
involving large amounts Of money should
be delayed.
There is a prophecy that taxation will
cause great discomfort in the United
States. Large expenditures of public
money will be on the increase.
According to ancient lore, this should
be q lucky day for fishing.
Scandals in religious and legal matters
are foretold. There will be exposures
that affect the bench and bar in one OF
the largest cities of the United States.
Woman suffragists are subject TO a rule
that Is not favorable this month. There

Persons whose birthdate II is have q

They should avoid speculation the COM
