culin tests and of pasteurization. Phil
adelphia has just adopted measures to
compel the pasteurtzation Of milk. And
what these great cities are doing Is
being paralleied in many smaller places.
The campaign for the saving Of ba-
bits lives Is becoming nation wide,
worldwide. And everywhere the truth
is spreading that, as the late Surgeon
General wyInan wrote: "Pasteurization
prevents much sickness and saves many
lives"
I'm all the elaboration OF effort and
the multiplication Of the measures for
the welfare Of the child, I beg you to
mental truth that much OF the sickness

PRINCETON THIS YEAR CAUSES
MOVEMENT TO START.

New York. March 16.-The brilliant
record of the Princeton hockey team
during the season just. completed has
led to an agitation for the building or
an artificial ice rink at Princeton be-
fore next winter. The idea found ia
vor with both undergraduates ana
alumni two years ago but beyond Sc
curing estimates for rink and rreez-

Prince Alumni Weekly in discussing
the revived project states edltorlally:
'You can't play hockey without ice,
and while Lake Carnegie usually
freezes over three or four times our
ing the winter. the ice ordinarily does
not remain long enough to afford reg
ular practice In this sport we are at
an obvious disadvantage in the com
petitions with our chief opponents IN
the farther north ATTITUDES OF New
England. In the absence OF ice at
Princeton, to get their practice our
hockey players are obliged to go to
the rink in New York, but they can DO
this only two or three times week,
and that at the latter end OF the sea-
son. Under these circumstances 1t IS
extremely difficult to develop players.
and particularly team-play. There are
other serious objections to New YORK
as the scene of our participation in
this branch of sport. All the argu-
ments for playing college games on
college grounds hold with peculiar
force in this game Hockey is too well
established as an excellent college
game to be abandoned. but if it is to
be continued at Princeton. we must
have our own rink. Yale has rink

home-and-home games could be ar
ranged as in the case Of baseball and

MISSING ESTATE

London, March 16.-7The missing

States. The embassy here is over
whelmed with letters from American
heirs" asking how best to secure es-
tates due them Some letters indi-
cate that victims were induced to
part with all their property TO pay
expenses Of pseudo representatives or
the chancery court.
Ten years ago the state department
at Washington received so many re-
quests about missing estates in chan
Gerry that special investigation was
made by Henry White. then first
secretary of the American ambassy
here. He reported that it would be
practically impossible for any Ameri-
can to secure an estate from the
court of chancery. The report showed
that the large estates constantly
spoken of is dormant in chancery" or
"awaiting claimants in the bank Of
England" were purely imaginary, and
usually the invention Of sWindlers,

each, two only approaching $4,000,
and most of them inevitably would
consume their own value in the ex-
penses of recovery. The fullest proofs
of genealogy are demanded, and in
the case of Americans such proofs are
almost impossible. Even the clear
est claims are usually barred by the
statute of limitations. About the
time of this report the inquiries be-
come so heavy that they oyerlaoded

Last year when one Of these swind-
lers persuaded number Of alleged
descendants in America that the estate
of their ancestors Sir Francis Drake
was ready for distribution by the court
of chancery, the swindle was widely
exposed by the American newspapers,
within the result that the inquiries
ceased until within the
past few weeks.
