VALE VARSITY EIGHT BEATS
HARVARD CREW FIVE LENGTHS
Blue Oarsmen Take Lead at Start and Are
Never Headed-EIs Also Win
the Freshman Race.

NEW LONDON. Conn, June 60
without her supremacy having been
threatened for moment. Yale won the
varsity race yesterday afternoon. beat
ing the Harvard eight by about Ave
lengths The event was not sensa-
tional, except in SO far as it gave to
the sons of Eli clean score of tri-
umphs such as Harvard of late years
has more often enjoyed than has her
rival
The time of both crews in the race

One mile-Yale. 4.4O: Harvard, AS
Two miles-Yale, 1905: Harvard, 1914
Three miles-Yale, 1927; Harvard

There was in Yesterdays event none

the Blue and Crimson never showed

Yale Off in Front.
Yale took the lead at the crack of
the pistol and increased it consistently
by superiority of power and form until
the moment she shot the Prov of her
shell across the finish line, amid a
bedlam of screeching steam whistles
and believing cheers. And yet her
margin on Harvard was never so great
but that an instant's abatement of the
superb stroke set by Morse and the
machine-like swing of his men might
well have cost the New Haven oarsmen
the race.
For Harvard rowed gamely to the
finish and was always to be reckoned
with, though from the time the navy
yard was passed, the two-mile mark on
the four-mile grind, the Crimson eight
worked like a crew doomed to defeat
barring unforeseen disaster to Yale.
Yesterday Yale crowned more than
half century of rowing competition
with her old-time rival by winning the

races. Until the crack of the gun yes

Permanent Establishment OF
New Industry Announced by
Secretary RedfieId.

The permanent establishment OF n
new industry In the United states for
the dyeing and dressing OF seal furs
is announced today by Secretary OF
Commerce Rcdheld. The new enter
prise relieves the United states or
dependence upon England for It's sup
ply OF seal fur and gives promise that
the reduction OF expenses incidental
to the dyeing and dressing will permit
the sale OF the finished fur TO the
American consumer at lower cost
than heretofore.
The inited States Is the largest pro-
ducer and largest consumer OF seal
skins. In the past. raw seal skins have
been sent to London. dressed and dyed
there, and then brought back. the
United States paying transportation or
both raw and finished product. which
added 81 per cent to the price or the
raw skins.
Two years ago the Department ol
Commerce conducted the first sale, ri
raw seal skins at st. Louis. Ruycr'
came from all over the world and bet
ter prices were obtained than former
ly. The department then began ncxo
tiations for the establishment OF dye
ing and pressing industry. which have
now been completed.
The second sale OF American fur skin'
was held at St fouls last month. whsr
fox skins brought prices 40 per cent
higher than heretofore. There wa,

GOVERNMENT SEXES
SPURIOUS SPECIFICS
Quantities Of Worthless Imita-
tions Of Foreign Drugs Dis.
tributed in United States.

Quantities of worthless limitations OF
foreign drug products have been seized
by Department OF Agriculture officials
in charge OF tho enforcement Of the
pure food and drug act.
Announcement OF the fact that n num-
ber OF interstate shipments OF these
cheap frauds had been confiscated and
that officials in number Of cite" and
States had been asked to cooperate In
the movement was made by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture today.
The imitators are said to have either
refilled the original bottles and boxes
Ia which bona fide medicines were sold.
or manufactured the labels and recepta-
cles to defraud the public, unscrupu-
lous manufacturers are said to have
rcaped a rich harvest selling their cheap
limitations as the original drug products
which usually come from Europe. but
shipments OF which have not been re-
ceived here since the war began.
Among the frauds specifically named
Ia one in which an entirely Intellectual
white powder was sold In greet quanti-
ties as German aspirin. Another case
was that In which ordinary table salt
vas colored with coal tar dye and sold
- a. substitute for worlds renowned
blood purifier.
The Department Of Agriculture made
the seizures. II is said, not only because
the public was being defrauded out OF
large sums Of money, but because. In
many cases. the substitute for the we'll
known drugs were injurious to health.
