PHYSICAL EXAMS FOR ALL COLLEGE
 ENTRANTS URGED

New York, Nov. 30-A physical test is urged by Dr. William Fl. McCast- line, Columbia University medical professor, as an entrance requirement for admission to the colleges through out the country. In his annual re- port made public today, Dr. McCast- line says that eff the colleges throughout the country would place more emphasis upon the health of the candidates for admission those in con- trol of the child in the home and the school would be stimulated to take more judicious care of his physical needs and to encourage him to ap- preciate the relative value of health to the full enjoyment of play and work.
 ''For entrance to college man must prepare himself Intellectually for his
 work and show by certificate or exam ination his qualifications. Until re- gently little attention has been given to his health qus1ifIcations and physt- cal fitness.
 TT believe that even with the raising of the standards of scholarship the college and: university experience would find men in 8 better standard of health at graduation and in better shape physically as well as mentally to take up their life work if proper stress be laid upon health and physt- cal habits during the formative years of the boys training in the upper ele- 1nentary and high schools"

ADVERTISING IN DULL TIMES.

A man connected with one of the printing trades says that he had fear ed that business in his line would be hurt owing to the dull times created by the war; He had been a good deal pleased to see that his newspa- per customers seemed to be- getting their usual advertising business. Some of them were doing better.
 Yet in many of these towns, the ex- port trade of the factories had been cut off, and there was Complaint of slow times in the retail stores. This seemed to him to prove that mer- chants have generally learned that the fact that sales fall off is no req son for stopping effort to increase sales. On the contrary, it is a spe- cia1 reason for pushing goods.
 Even in the du1lest times, there are always a great many thrifty people who will take advantage of a bargain. They watch chances closer in slow times. A 10 per cent. cut in a stan dard line of goods looks big to them. If you advertise a real bargain in the newspapers, it will attract more in- terest now than it would in very flush and confident times.

SUES FOR s15, 900
Action Against Prominent New York Attorney May Test Conn
 pensatdon Law.
(Dahbury News, Nov. 2s.l

e(DanDury News Nov. zS.1
 Attorneys for Burton F. WallaEe, a Cornell graduate and agricultural ex- pert, have brought suit on behalf of Mr.gWallace. for $15,0O0 damages against Arthur L.. Livermore, of New York city, one of the best known cor poration attorneys Tn the metropolis The action is based on injuries re- ceived while working for MT. Liver more on his large farm. which is sit uated partIy in Bedding and partly in Haston.s Mr. Iivermore employs regularly less than five men on his farm and the suit has been brought under the old statute law covering damage suits, and not under the fWorkmenss Compensation Act
 It is expected that the case may be the first to test whether or not the Compensation Act applies to em- ployers of less than five men. During the usmmer Attorney General, Light was asked to give an opinion on the point and the attorney general decided that under the provisions of the law employers of less than five men were included in the provisions of the act. A number of leading lawyers in the state disagreed with Judge Light on this ruling. In, the suit of Mr. Wal lace against Attorney Liverrnores the attorneys for the plaintiff set up. that MT. Livermore does not regularly e1n ploy five persons and consequently they have Drought the case under the old statute law covering damage suits It is expected that the attorneys for MT. Iivermore will set up that 4he case is one for compensatory damages under the provisions of the Work mems Compensation Act and that it should be brought before the com pensation commissioner instead of in the superior court. If. however. the attorneys for MT. 1vermore should elect to try the case under the old statute law the point in dispute re- garding whether employers of less than five people come under the com pensation act .or not will not be de termined by this suit.
 MT. Livermore on Feb. g, 1914, en- gagged MT. Wallace to take charge of his farm for the season. MT. Wallace assumed his duties on March 8, and on March 23 while endeaNoring to start gasoline engine for the purpose of doing some work on the farm he was injured.
 It is alleged in the complaint tksst the accident was caused by reason Of the mechanism of the engine being in an improper, dangerous and defective condition. The complaint further states that when the engine started the action was so forcefuI that it threw MT. Wallace off his balance and that he caught his foot in the fly wheel of the engine which resulted in the foot being Iacerated and torn.
 Among the injuries MT. Wallace is alleged to have received a compound fracture of the large toe which the complaint claims perfnanently injures him and prevents the free use of his foot.
 The complaint further states that because he. is unable to use his foot freely Mir Wailace's earning power is impaired and that he will not be able to demand the salary as agricuS- tural expert that would have been the case had the accident not occur red.

LIKE A FIRE GOD
Cy EVELYN CHASE.

That's pretty slick" spoke bluff
blunt Adam Reeves in a tone of admi.
ration. What do you call them,
sonny"
"Sparklers."
Good name. It fits. Give me q
dozen boxes
What in the world are you going
to do with them, Mr.. Reeves?" in.
Quired the companion Of the old pros
pector. Ronald Bond.
1t was at seaport town in Aus
tralia, way over on the other side of
the world. A street fair was in prog
ress. On their way to the interior
Reeves and his young friend Ronald
had strolled from their hotel to take
in the sights. A species Of Mardi Gras
festivities signaled the occasion. Be-
sides confetti there were minor
fireworks, and one street faker was
coming money selling those pretty
popular "sparklers." which ignited at
one end and cascaded out a harmless
shower of brilliantly scintillating fiery
stars.
Reeves had never seen them be-
fore. and the display pleased him.
He purchased two boxes of the toy,
slim, narrow and easily pocketed. and
then they wandered on.
I'll carry them along with our
traps" he laughed. Just about the
Fourth Of July we'll be out In the
wilderness q thousand miles from
civilization, and II we get homesick,
we'll have little patriotic squirt and
IRE them of, see?"
Then Reeves slipped the two little
boxes into an inside pocket of the
coat he wore. and forgot all about
them as some new display Of interest
attracted hts attention.
Reeves was bent on a peculiar mis-
sion. He was skilled mining en-.
gineer and had been engaged by Eng.
lish promoters to invade the center
Of district hitherto very slightly ex.
plored. There were rumors Of great
metal wealth in certain chain Of hills.
and he was to secure ore specimens.

Two hundred and seventy degrees

shows us that the pressure should van.

temperature of 273 degrees below

molecular motion which we call heat,

that we have removed all of the
