On Tuesday evening the students of
the university sent the folowilng petit
ton to the President setting before
him a plea, for firm neutrality: ITO the
President of the United States: In
view of certain unfortunate events due
to the present war in Europe many
of which affect the United States with
inevitable directness. and which might
be seized upon by jingoists to agitate
a foolish opinion on the part of the
public or unwise policies on the part
of the government events which, such
as the sinking of the Lusitania have
no greater significance to the situa-
ton of the United States than other
events which are already being dealt
with in the ordinary course of diplo-
macy-we, the undersigned students of
Yale University, believing that the
great body of American students
stands with us, desire respectfully to
acquaint the President of our highest
regard for his strong adherence to the
upright policy Of neutrality, and our
complete hope that through his wis
dom and ability such a course may be
maintained amid the storm of Euro
pean disaster" The petition was cir
culated throughout the university
Tuesday with the result that 726 names
were subscribed. 1t was sent to the
President in the evening by special
delivery. The list of names signed be-

New Britain as a general thing is

pretty we'll in this respect and all
things considered it is showing a de-

a few years ago. No one except those
engaged in the work can ever realize
what an effort it was to get the clean
up movement going and to have the
people understand of what great i'm
portance it was. The task has been
easier since but it still requires watch
fulness on the part of the health
authorities for the reason that we
are a long ways from perfection. We
seem to be headed in that direction,
however.-New Britain Herald.

The novel plan to send a team of
champion track men from the east
ern preparatory and high schools to
the Panama Pacific Exposition to COM
pete against a representative western
and middle western team has occa-
stoned considerable interest among the
track enthusiasts in the universities
and secondary schools of the country.
The eastern team will be picked from
among the winners of the various
events in the most important inter-
scholastic meets which include es-
pecially the Yale, Harvard and Prince
ton meets. The winners of the first
two places in every important
event VIII compete in an eastern
championship contest to be held in
the Harvard stadium. Thus the win
ners in this meet will be well qualified
to represent the east at the exposi-
ton. The funds needed to transport
the 80 men who will compose the team
will, in all proba bility be advanced by
the athletics associations of the col
ieges and schools interested in the
project. The athletic committee of
the exposition has suggested the plan
which is finding strong favor through
out the universities here in the east.

Monday afternoon marked the full
fillment of an old Yale tradition in
the event of Omega Lambda Chi, the
university's spring holiday. The pro-
gram of interesting and humorous
events was initiated by parade in
which all persons to take part in the
later activities participated. The
band organized especially for the &C.
casion led the procession which con-
sisted of a number of floats represent
ing the various extra curriculum ac-
tivities. The first number was a Key
stone comedy in which an under
graduate Charlie Chaplin was para
mount. The sketch was characterized
by the usual pie-throwing and brick
bouncing. Charlie Chaplin was ably
supported in his humorous antics by an
undergraduate cast of which Raymond
T. J. Higgins was a member. The next
event which attracted the attention of
the $500 students gathered on the
campus to witness the fete was the
Johnson Willard prizefight in which
T. B. Denegre of the university crew
took the part of johnson who sue
cumbed to Wizards aggressive tao
tics after the third round. The fresh
man sophomore tug of war was the
event the sophomores proved too much
for the freshmen who were unable to
gain the ground lost before the rope
had been cut to pieces for souvenirs of
the battle. Other contests between
the two lower classes formed the fin
ale of another successful celebration.

Free Academy 1914 accompanied the
squad on the trip. Mr.. Lathrop has
been member of the freshman squad
since the opening of the college year.
His consistent work on the freshman
squad has warranted his advancement
from the position of number three in
the fourth freshman boat to number
three on the first freshman crew in
which he rowed last week in the
spring regatta on Lake Whitney. This
crew won from the Rockrimmon boat
club by three lengths Inasmuch as
the squad, to be taken to Gales Ferry,
will be selected within the next two
weeks, Mr.. Lathrop's prospects for
the final selection are very bright.

should slope to one edge and also to
one end, as in Fig. /, which shows

The front gate should be adjusta-
BILE, so as to close to the rear edge of
the platform. The manger may be
made of wood or cement, but in all
cases should be partitioned off so as
to keep each cows food separate
Some stockmen object to cement floors
on the ground that they give the
COWS rheumatism and produce sore
feet. If proper bedding is given,
there should be no trouble. Many
think such floor construction extrav-
agant and impractical for the average
dairyman, but it is not. While the
original cost may be little more, il
will be cheaper in the end and far
more serviceable. Such a floor will
outwear many made of wood and will
be far more sanitary in every way.
They are easier to clean and do not
give of odors like a board floor,
which soaks up filth and causes an
ever-present odor in the stable.
The stalls should be separate so
that each animal will be by herself,
and she will soon learn to take her
own place when entering the stable.
This is not saying that good stables
cannot be built of wood, but it is to
remind the man who contemplates
building or wishes to remodel his barn
that ii pays to build well.

department will loan a set of suitable
lantern slides to any responsible To-
cal association or individual who will
pay the express charges. The only
requirement is that the slides be
made of active and practical use in
the community and that they be re-
turned in good condition in 90 days.
In addition, a brief outline of lee.
ture to accompany the slides will be
forwarded ON request.
In addition to this educational work
the department is always ready to re-
spond to requests for practical assist
ance which may take the form of spe-
cial advice and inspection. superin-
tendence OF county roads, road sur
veys, experimental road work, bridge
work, or the development of model
system of highways for a county. To
obtain such assistance local authori-
ties should secure a blank form from
the Office of public roads on which to
make applications. Requests from
corporate villages or cities cannot be
met, however.
Bridge work is one branch of road
building in which the department may
be of particular service to local au-
thorities. Typical designs have been
prepared and copies of these can be
furnished on request. A few minor
alterations would probably make such
a design suitable for special condi-
tions, or an engineer may be assigned
10 inspect the site and offer sugges-
lions. In some cases designs by bridge
companies have been reviewed by the
department for the benefit of local Of
ficials.
Possibly the most important way,
however, in which the department as
sists individual communities in the
betterment of their roads is in laying
out model system of highways for a
county which is about to expend u
large sum Of money on roads. In such
cases the department assigns an en-
gineer to make a thorough study Of
the district. He ascertains where
the best road materials are, what
roads are the most important, and,
therefore, to be improved first, and
provides for the location of each road
SO as to secure the best possible drain
