NEW YORK. Nov. 19.-The climax
of the 1915 football season-one of
the most wierd the East has seen in
years-will be reached tomorrow at
Cambridge when Harvard and Yale
resume their age-worn scramble on
the gridiron.
IL matters but little. apparently,
that each team has been defeated this
year, and is no longer I'm the cham
pionship running. The Yale-H Harvard
game is THE game OF any season.
principally because its the Yale
Harvard game. It is doubtful il a
Cornell-Pitt game could arouse the
tremendous enthusiasm that Is at
tendant on tomorrow's struggle. Had
both lost every game this season, IL
would still be the big game OF the
season. looking through Eastern
eyes.
The game tomorrow can hardly be
termed a battle. II will. barring.
miracles. be massacre, with Percy
Haughton's big Crimson eleven on
the prcdding end. Yale is cOmplet-
ing the worst season in her history.
Harvard has been defeated this year
the first time in three years. but
Crimson demonstrated two weeks ago
that 1t still has man-sized wallop
in either mitt by defeating the best
eleven Princeton has put out in years.

Harvard and Yale Game
May Prove a Slaughter

A tremendous crowd will see the
game. Old Harvard grads will trek
back to Boston to gloat over a Yale
licking. Yale grads will go back to
hope, and after hope is gone, to
ruminate over the "od days" when
the Blue was roosting on the topmost
pinnacle of football fame. The foot
ball game isn't so important-its the
occasion. That is what makes il the
big game of any season.

Crammed with Orders.
SAYS U. s.. AIDS SOUTH

A paean Of prosperity is the leading
feature OF the annual report of Secre-
tary Of the Treasury McAdoo. made pub
lie yesterday. He does not minimize the
extent OF the unwholesome effects Of the
war, but refers to our Industrial situa.
tion as having been '''for time serious
ly hurt
Mr.. McAdoo Incorporates special re-
ports by r. C. Dun and Company. Henry
z. Dunn. president Of Bradstreets. and
President Babson. Of the Babson Statisti-
cal Organization. These arc unanimous
in the opinion that a nationwide bust.
ness boom is on. which bids fair to con-
tinue until larger stretches Of prosperity
have been obtained.
The most interesting portion OF ths
Secretary's prosperity speech Is that IN
which he refers to the situation Of the
railroads. Here is the excerpt referred
to:
The railroad situation shows extraor'
dnary Improvement and strength. In
cresses in gross and net earnings have
been marked, In some cases being above
The highest point ever before recorded
A. recently as juno !, 1915. there were
3J.0 on idle cars. with a corresponding
surplus Of idle locomotives. Now there
are no idle cars or b1lc locomotives IN
the country. and the railroads are buy
H@" tQulpUitHl. n VI n
recent statement shows that the rail-
roads have placed orders In the months
OF September and October for $500 tons
Of rails, 80 locomotives, 5000 freight
cars. sixty passenger cars. besides lun-
ber and fabricated steel and iron. valued
at more than 81. .o0o. 90. Since that time
other large orders Tor railway equipment
have been placed. showing that the rail-
roads have entered upon another great
period of prosperity. In the basic in
dustry Of iron and steel the conditions
are phenomenal. This great industry }.
said to be on a veritable boom.
The important part which the gov
ernment has played in bringing about
the expression Of prosperity is detail
ed by Mr.. McAdoo. He tells of the cot
ton deposits of Sl5.0o0.0oo made with
the Southern Reserve Banks and of the
specially formulated commodity paper
regulations OF the Federal Reserve
Board which assured the cotton farm
ers the privilege of borrowing the
governme nts money at per cent. This
policy was "of direct and marked bene-
ut to the southeP producer says Mr.
McAdoo
The Secretary discusses needed
changes in the income tax law. Most
important of these Is an amendment
doing away with the requirements for
the Withholding of tax at the source
and substituting in its place a require
ment for information at the source. Mr..
McAdoo is of the opinion that this will
eliminate a great deal of criticism He
recommends. further that persons
having a gross income of $4,000 be re-
quired to make n return to the in
come tax collector instead of those
who have a net income of this sum. as
Is now required.
A recommendation is made for in
creasing the salaries of the three As
sistant Secretaries of the Treasury to
$500 each.

Mrs. Wainwright asks me if the
lights we use in the studios hurt the
eyes. Her little girl had done some
extra work and had complained about
pains in the sockets of her eyes. Yes,
indeed, if the eyes are at all weak the
lights are binding. Dreadful head
aches result from them, and if your
daughters eyes arc weak | would
keep her away from them.

A new magazine to uplift the dance is
being contemplated in New York. The
tango fad has been hit hard by the gentle
and refined art Of skating and those who
believe in the higher and more aesthetic
forms of dancing are anxious to get
in the best licks nova real terpsicho-
rean revival as it were.
Several socially prominent millionares
are said to be back of the project and
Louis II. Chalif is tipped for the editorial
management. The idea Is to instill into
the minds of those who love dancing that
the suggestive shrugs and bunny-hugs
are passe but that the real spirit of dane
ing is not impaired but rather stronger
than ever.
With Vernon Castle leaving for the
front shortly and Al Davis and Bonnie
Glass falling for matrimony. there are
very few leaders left for those who re-
main on the tango esplanade.

as the well-known Henry.
He is a Georgian by birth but an Ohioan
by adoption. He happened to be in Amer
lea for a few days when those stslwart
Georgians escorted Leo Frank to the bis

Sarcastically he wrote friend in

merely saying they had fine day for it. -

New York. Dec. Skipping along
with the march of prosperity are the
cartoon boys. Those brave spirits are
hired to furnish giggle day 10
newspaper perusers. Cartoonist sala-
ries in New York are scooting so high
that every time a cartooner sasses
mere chief he has to bust
right out in raucious guffawing.
When Bud Fisher cut away from
Mr. Hearst's journals and farmed out
to a syndicate, il is said that the in
ducement was $4,000 a year. together
with a divvy out of the gross receipts.
Fisher also is reported to be large
stakeholder in that veritable Broad
way mint-the Strand Theater.
When cartoonists sink their patri-
clan fingers into the necks of plebian
editors they seem to get what they
want Not long ago the originator of
some popular cartoons on New
York paper was approached by an ed
itor concealing a ten-year contract.
He balked at the long term and the
editor permitted him to sit around
the office and draw pictures but they
didn't print them.
Then a syndicate scout swooped in
on the cartoonist one day with 4
whale of an offer, which he was on
the verge OF accepting when his own
paper made a hurried scramble for
the dough-bag and went over the
price offered by the syndicate. Peace
was then restored.
