USE FOOT MEASURE
TO COMPUTE LOADS
FOR ROAD BUILDERS

The outgrowth of a suit in the
Wayne circuit court of Herbert Green
against Sisk, Sprinkle & Level, in
which the contracting firm alleged
about 80 per cent of bill for gravel
was erroneous because of the small
was hauled, is an order from the state
commissioner of weights and measures
advising the use of cubic feet instead
of cubic yards in figuring the capacity
Of wagon beds.
The following notice has been sent
out to contractors:
1T has come to the attention of the
department that wagon beds used in
hauling sand, gravel. rock and similar
material commonly hold less in terms
Of cubic yards that the amount for
which the bill is rendered, or other
wise do not comply with the terms OF
he contract under which the material
Is hauled and sold. The use of
wagon bed which does not hold the
stated amount of material is just as
fraudulent as the use of a short half
bushel measure or a short weight
scale.
THE most satisfactory method Of es-
timating the capacity of wagon beds is
in terms of cubic feet instead OF cubic
yards, and in no case should the load
be measured except at the point OF
delivery.
Contractors, supervisors and all in.
terested persons are requested to mea-
cure all wagon beds and to see that the
load delivered is that for which charge
ia made.
inspectors of weights and measures
and all police officers are Instructed
to see that the law requiring honest
measures is obeyed."

The old fighting spirit of N. sF. A. was revealed Saturday on the cam pus in the football game with sBu2lxe- ley, when the Academy came up from behind tieing the score in the esecond quarter. and winning in the very last few minutes of play in a most spec tacuiar, thrilling. and conspicuous manner, when Bill Stanley heaved a forward pass to Captain. Bob o'Hearn who slid . ,ross the chalk line for the winning points. The score was 3 to 2.
 Lawrence Made Big Run.
 In the first quarter the Bulkeley con tingent drew first blood when Law renee intercepted a forward pass on his own 40syard line and ran past six ten yard lines to a touchdown with the whole Academy eleven in chase like pack of hungry wolves.

YALE PLAYERS SHOW
 EFFECTS OF GRUELLING GAME.
Sheldon, Clinton and Black Likely Can didates for Captain.

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 21.-Yale's football players struggled back to town in groups from Cambridge today. fol- lowing the crushing defeat at the hands of Harvard on Saturday. All the players showed the effects of the grueIling game, and Guernsey, Savage. C.. Sheldon and Chatfield Taylor have injuries that will require a physician's care for a few weeks. The players will meet in a few days to elect captain The most likely candidates are consid- cred to be "Chub" Sheldon, a tackle, and Clinton Black, a guard.
 Of the 29 men who won their var sity letter in the Princeton and Har- yard games, 13 will be lost by gradua- ton in June. .
 The coaching system appears to be the most troublesome problem in. sight Frank Hinkey's contract has another year to run, but in well informed cir cles it is considered unlikely that he will remain in charge On the campus there appears to be considerable senti- ment in favor of an advisory board of former players to coach the eleven No steps will be taken until a captain Is chosen. . ---

Weakness in War Stocks and Kindred
 SpeciaIties. :.

New York Nov. 20.-Weakness in war stocks and kindred specialties, which later spread to some of the more stable issues, characterized the light dealings of today's short session. Some losses were largely retrieved be- fore the close while oil stocks were absolutely strong, with a gain. or over 10 points for Texas company at 203.
 At their extreme, declines such stocks as Bethlehem Steel, Studebaker. Willys-O Overland and Baldwin Locomo- tive were from 4 to 10 points under yesterdays close and coppers also were backward, regardless of a further ad- vance in4 the metal to 19 3-4 cents.
 United States Steel reflected pres sure of the same character recently noted and rails in the investment di- vision were a point more down. Short coverings rectified this condition in part toward the end, but the close was irregular. sTotal sales amounted to 32S,000 shares.
 Indications point~to antoher advance in most finished products of the steel mills. and it is confidently predicted cents during the coming week, with correspondingly higher quotations for lead, speited and like products. tsSs.S
 Several of. the Standard Oil subsidi-. aries announced a further rise in prices Of oils. Stocks of that ca1iber. have; been the feature of the week on the curb, and added no little to the daily operations on the stock ex- change.
 Instead of the large gain in cash which local banks were expected to show on the weeks business a nomin- al decrease was reported, with prac- tically no change in actual reserves.

The game was nip and tuck from the start, full of life and in gen. eral was considered a great victory for the Taftville players.
 Taftville kicked off and immediately began to attack Plainfield's goal, which had several lucky saves in the first five minutes. Taftville with their new forward line were shaping finely and when Kenyon opened the scoring for Taftville Eit was only what they de- served. ,1Plainfield forwards could not make much headway, as Taftville half backs, especially Knowles and Low ther, easily held them in check.

 Bulkeley, although outweighted, put up a game fight apd fought bitterly all the way until the referees last whistle blew. They displayed good defensive work but the powerful and heavy Academy in the last quarter crippled them up somewhat and several subs were sent in for relief. But the pIucky New Londoners stuck to their post and in the final minutes of play renewed their at .ack with open play, but they failed in their brave attempt to deceive the victorious red and white.

 Bill Stanley outkicked Lawrence and at one time Bill booted one for 60 yards.

 Outweighed..

Dublin Bill" F'lemming and his clever G. A.. c. eleven held the sol- diers of Fort H. G. Wright, Fishers .Is- land to a scoreless tie,;i Sunday after noon on the Cranberry.
 From the first few plays it was very. much in evidence that both teams were about evenly thatcher in. the science of the game, but in weight Uncle Sam's- boys had a slight ad- vantage, but nevertheless speed and attack of the Greeneville boys offset the asset of their opponents.
 Forward passes were tried by both teams hut only one or two were used to advantage as they were incomplet- ed.
 The G. A. c. came within striking second quarter when they had the ball on the Soldiers 30 yard line but they were held to downs.
 .On a sort. of a tandem formation the visitors were able to gain good ground but fumOles were costly to them and the home team was alert in recovering, especially the ends.
 Greeneville had their chances at the .fumbling art but most of their mis- haps were rescued by their own men. 2. As usual Captain Flemming succeed ed in tearing og several good gains which at times the home team held like stone wall.
 Of the visitors -Sirk was the main stay. Orstorsky at full back for the Soldiers figured in several good gains.
 On Thanksgiving day the Greene wills boys will journey to Rockville where they will meet the Rockville Rovers. Several auto trucks will con- vey the tea mand- their followers to the scene of battle and the locals are convdent of returning with another scalp dangling at their ss5e.
