BOTH CREWS ARE HOPEFUL AS THEY
 PREPARE FOR RACE

New London, June 25-Take it from a thousand more or less rowing ex- perts here, both YGIe and Harvard are going to win the big race on the Thames this afternoon. ~'N
 Never before in the forty-nine years of rowing competition between the old rivals have their varsity eight appear ed so evenly matched and an index thereto, is found in the fact that most of the betting is at even money.
 There are some rather enthusiastic Harvard men, who are giving to to 4 on their crew, but to the neutrals there is no visible basis for making either eight the favorite Those who argue from the form sheet are reminded that, after what happened here last year. the grand old dope is about as useful as a plugged nickle.
 A sitting process of the expert tes- tirnony reveals several salient fea- lures that may have some bearing on the subject at hand. The knowing ones assert that Harvard has a, mighty weighty asset in Lund. the stroke, who has rowed on nine winning crews and has never been beaten. Iund stroked the Harvard second boat that won the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley in England last summer. Lund has proved his worth, and he is con fessedly and admittedly a great oars man.
 On the other hand, Morse, the Yale stroke, has never undergone the crucial test of fire. He has stroked the Blue in early season races, but to- days contest will be his first absolute test. It is a question if he will be able to keeo his men going together just as did Appleton last year, all through that gruelling race of 1914.
 In so far as the material in the two boats is concerned, Harvard has l fdence and a faster, heavier and bet ter drilled crew than its miracle worker of last year. so the argumen is again at a deadlock.

funds for that organization. Women
armed with literature and statistics
showing how many people the U. C.
visited and helped are calling on the

Gently stated before the City club that
the charities aid borrowed $4,000
this spring because its funds had run

larger before the end of the organ

During the past year hundreds of
people, who had formerly purchased
an easy. conscience by contributing
each year, have withdrawn their do

not doing efficient work. They re-

DISTANCE A GUN CAN SHOOT.
Main Factors Arc Initial Velocity and
Angle Of Elevation.

Main Factors Are Initial Velocity and
Angle Of Elevation.
The distance a shot can be thrown
depends primarily on two things-the
velocity with which it leaves the muz-
zle and b angle Of elevation above
the horizontal. Other things affect it
also. but these two are all important.
OF course Il light shell will lose its We
locity quicker than a heavy one, for it
has less stored up energy to overcome
the friction Of the air. Temperature
and the humidity Of the air both have
their effect. But the two great fea.
lures are initial velocity and angle Of
elevation.
Any n who throws a ball knows
that it is higher near the center Of it's
flight than at either end. The farther
it is thrown the higher it is ut the cen
ter. 1t was long ago found that any
projectile to reach Il maximum range
must be thrown at about forty-1ve de
grees above the horizontal. This ap-
plies to a baseball as well as a 1000
pound shell. If it is thrown higher it
falls short in distance, for too much of
our effort has been expended in giving
1t height. If thrown lower gravita-
ton pulls it to the ground before it has
covered it's maximum distance.
Another thing-the ball or shell falls
at a greater angle than that with which
it started. If it is thrown at forty-fve
degrees elevation 1t will fall with near
er sixty degrees because Of the retard-
ing effect Of the atmospheric friction.
This friction is continually slowing up
the projectile and eventually all but
stops it. But meantime the action Of
gravitation is pulling it farther and
farther downward from its initial
path. The net result is to bring it to
earth much sooner than if the second
half OF its flight We're the counterpart

Rose de Martial was the daughter OF
the house of Martial. to whom the cas-

the lord Of C%astelnat, whose manor she
could see from her window. But, al
though she was beautiful and tender

Verses 22-24.-The God of truth.
David was ambitious to build the
house Of Jehovah, but he was prevent
ed from doing 50. The conditions We're
not ripe for such a great undertaking.
The land was in a state of commOtiOll,
and peace had to be restored before it
was possible for any religious enter
prises to prosper. Solomon began his
reign under more favorable auspices
and the work of building the temple
was committed to him. The glory of
Jehovah was involved in the building,
and SO nothing was too good for 1t.
There We're no workmen in Israel who
We're skilled in architecture, SO Solo
mon sought the aid Of Tyre. Special
mention is made of Hiram-abi, the son
Of an Israelitish mother and a Tyrian
father. He was an expert brass work
Ell, and at the invitation Of Solomon
he established a foundry in the Jordan
valley to manufacture material for the
temple. The fine art work was the con-
tribution Of thiSs emiforeigner. At last,
after seven years, the temple was COM
pleted and steps We're taken to dedicate
it to the perpetual service of Jehovah.
The first business was to bring the
ark Of God from its temporary resting
place in the tabernacle at Gideon
which was about six miles from
Jerusalem. The second part Of the
ceremony consisted of an address
which "a delivered by Solomon, when
he %rehearsed the events that led up to
