terror gave to the public an inter-
view outlining the expected develop
ments in the mineral industry. HIS
statement was followed by special
press bulletins issued by the survey
on the more important subjects. In
September, 1914. however. the de-
mand for authoritative information
had become SO lively that bulletin

sued. In this publication the who.e
subject OF the country's ability to
meet the emergency demands for
minerals was summarized and the
survey offered to serve as an agent
in bringing consumer and producer
into touch with each other. This
new function OF acting as Central"
to the mineral industry proved popu-
lar, large volume of special corre-
respondence developed. and crafty
ing use was made of the geological
surveys list OF mineral producers and
OF the specific information in the pos
session OF the federal biologists re-
garding practically every type OF nm

lieved that this correspondence has
been of material advantage to con-
sumers and producers alike-the us
ers Of mineral products who were for
merly dependent upon foreign sourc-
es OF supply and the mine operators
who have learned OF new markets for
their output.

been the only county benefited by the
aiertness OF the road bureau, as Mo-
nongalia county only two weeks ago
was saved a proportionate amount
on 100000 bond issue while Port
land district in Preston county saved
Just S116,900 on a bond issue of
S2S2,0O0. In Upshur and Mononga-
iis counties orders had already been
entered for the issuance OF sinking
fnnd bonds by the county court but
upon beign shown wherein 1t was
possible to save thousands of dol
lars by State Road Engineer VIII
iiams. they had the orders annuleJ
and provided for the chan ging of the
bond to the serial-coupon style. Port
land district. however, got into com
mnnication with the local office he
fore taking any steps whatever and
therefore saved considerable time
and money in providing for the bond
issue in that district.
There are three kinds OF bonds
that can be issued for road improve
ment, the sinking fund bond, the an
nuity bond and the serial-coupop
bond. The sinking fund bond is one
that is payable in its entirety with
interest at the expiration of a GER
tain time. ordinarily twenty years or
so. As the money comes In as the re-
suit OF levies laid to meet the bonds.
1t is placed In banks and only In rare
cases Is more than three per cent
interest realized on bond issue
bearing hve per cent interest. Add
Ell TO this disadvantage are the pos
stbflitles of transportation of the
bank funds or the failure of the
bank. The annuity bond provides
Tor the payment OF fixed sum each
year and is cheaper to community
than a sinking fund bond. As year
~ payments are made. interest and
principal are reduced but the objec-
ton to this kind of bond is that tho
largest amount of interest is paid at
iirst while the largest part of the
principal is paid at the expiration of
the time fixed for the payment OF the
bonds. -
A serial bond is one wherein a
fixed amount falls due and is paid
each year, reducing both principal
and interest accordingly. The bonds
are issued In any denominations
wanted and are eagerly sought by
bond purchasing companies. In Up
shur county bond issue Of S225. 900
with sinking fund bond would cost
S479,3S0.27 figuring that the coun-
" would receive three per cent on
money deposited while the same
amount under the serial bond plan
would cost $s99.S75 or S0,005. "a
less. Counties intending to provide
Tor road bond issues should get in
touch with the state road bureau, be-
fore deciding on what kind OF bonds
to issue.

COLLEGES REVISE
AQUATIC RULES
marked Lanes in All Dual
Events Reduce the Possibil-
| ity of Committing Fouls.
LESS POINTS FOR RELAYS

The aquatic committee of the Ma
tional Collegiate a. A. has completed
set Of rules for the government of var
sity swimming meets that promises to
standardize collegiate water sports and
to facilitate intersectional and national
competitions.
The most important change is that OF
prescribing lanes for all dual events.
Hitherto there has been Involuntary foul
ing. due to wabbly swimming. In future
there will be no danger of fouls. 1t Is
decreed that a rope shall be stretched
along the middle of the pool. dividing
the water into two sections. The COM
peting teams will have thus a barrier
between them, and any swimmer leaving
his course will only decrease his own
chances or those of a team mate.
A change has also been made in the
scoring of points for relay racing. In
stead of awarding eight points to the
winners. only five will be given here
after. The allowance appears ample in
view of the fact that the losers get
nothing. The former margin gave dis
proportionate advantage to a college able
to muster four fast sprinters. A clause
forbidding stepping on the bottom on the
turn when racing in a shallow pool Is
another innovation.
The adoption of a definite program of
events, including all those featured in
both the intercollegiate and conference
water carnivals will. perhaps. encourage
competition between the two organiZa-
tions. Until now the intercollegiate has
fostered fancy diving. a sport not adopted
by the conference. while neglecting breast
and back stroke swimming, two branches
Of natation considered indispensable by
the conference authorities. Consequently
plans for interdistrict meets have either
fallen through because of inability to
agree on events, or have been followed
by arguments, each side expecting to
count the points won only in its listed
contests. With all three of the events
on the cards there will be no discussion.
1t is the plan Of the association com
mittee 10 encourage annual national
championships. open to all colleges in
the United States. The establishment
of uniform rules throughout the country
Is the first move toward this plan. BY
holding these championships in rotation
at colleges in different sections the au-
thorities hope to have them attended by
swimmers from all colleges.

WHEN SOUTHPAWS
LOSE THEIR CLUBS

Which would you rather? Lose you'
right-handed clubs to a left-hande6
player or win his bagful of left-handed
clubs?
The challenging party was composed
Of the premier of Manitoba and a
friend. and the challenged were Seattle
man and a big Canadian railroad builder.
The challenGcrs were both left-handed
and the challenged played from the star

must appear. the winners would have alb

Ii was five days before Schoenfeld and
his PARTNER refilled their bags with salts

Incidentally. il is surprising that there
are so few left-handed golfers compared
with the number who swing their clubs
right handed. In baseball. at least in the
big leagues. it appears that the portside
clubbers are getting all the laurels for
hating. But in golf, right-handers
nearly always win.
II appears that left-handed golfer
seldom learns to control the ball as does

hand lowest on the club

WAGNER MAY MANAGE PIRATES

Barney" Dreyfus. president Of the
Pittsburgh National League Baseball
Club, is now confronted with the no small
task of finding a manager to take the
place of Fred Clarke whose resignation.
to take effect at the end of the present
season. has been accepted. In looking
about for a prospective leader advices
from Pittsburgh state that Dreyfus' eye
is focused on the bulky form Of no less
a parsonage than John Honus Wagner.
the teams veteran and one of the bright
est stars baseball has ever known.
Barney could do a great deal worse
than give the -"Dutchman'' a trial. Ger
tainly Hans" has earned the honor II he
wants it, and it is generally believed that
if he will accept tine position Dreyfus will
make him manager OF the club for 1916.
There is no one who knows more base
ball than Wagner, and since players al
ways admire a great player. it is argued
that they would respect his knowledge
and would play the best baseball they
knew of for the famous batter. Whether
or not he would be a strict enough disci-
plinarian appears to be the only question.
and those who are familiar with his regu-
lar way OF living and his irreproachable
habits are sure that Hans would be
able to make his players toe the mark.
