Catch ing water first, Columbia was never headed.
 Passing the stake which marked the mile and a quarter distance Yale. was desperately struggling to overcome the 1enght's lead which Columbia. maintained from the first half mile Stroke Seth Low called for a squirt, but instead of responding Coombe fall tered and almost instantly fell for ward against the back of Low.
 Coombe's oar dropped from his hands, slipped from the oarlock, and finally drifted into the harbor.s<e Bur- dened by the unexpected weight of his fel1ow-oarsman Captain Low. roWed raggedly and then stopped rowing. For a moment the, entire Yale boat ceased it's bladework. when Coombe regained his balance and sat up, al- though dazed.

New Britain Players
 High School Champions

New Haven, Nov. 13@The New Britain High School team won the interscho1astic football title of the state here yesterday by defeating New Haven High in a spectacular game, IA to S. The only thorn in the side of the team is the fact that Meriden does not care to play game for the title. both teams being of real cham pionship caliber.
 New Haven started off with a rush, and by clever forward passing carried the ball to the New Britain goal line, where Cronin scored. In the second quarter, Parker carried the ball by a series of old-fashioned rushes to the coveted territory and then kicked a goal from the touchdown. Tn the third period, New Britain tried open play and tile o1d-fashioned rushing, and DudJack scored

Tho Oak Traa.

The oak is one of the largest, hand
soonest trees, often living to a great
age and easily holding its place as
monarch of the forest" The historic
oak at Salem. N. j., and the Blunston
oak, at Darby. Pa. can each lay claim
to between 200 and 300 years of age.
Sometimes these trees live for centu-
rieS longer We have different kinds
of oaks. Some Of the best known are
the white. scarlet. pin. bur, chestnut
oak, black and bear Their leaves
vary In shape, but all are wavy edged.
When these are about half grown the
tiny red and yellow blossoms appear,
growing IL little clusters the whole
length Of the long, dropping stems. The
oaks are the only trees bearing seeds
called acOrnS. Each nut is in a cup or
shell, which protects it. The bur oak
bears acOrns having pretty fringe of
scales. which has given them the name
of mOssy cup acOrns.

Can Concrete be Laid in
Colder Months?

Can concrete be safely laid in
freezing weather? Does freez-
ing injure new concrete? These
are questions which many farm
ers ask regarding the use of ce-
ment during the colder months.
While there is no doubt that
the crumbling concrete evidenced
in almost every locality is due in
part to freezing, yet concrete en-
gineers say that concrete can be
handled during freezing weather
with no damage if the proper
methods are used, Concrete is
apparently injured if allowed to
freeze before taking the final set.
This means that the concrete
must be kept from freezing from
IL to 36 hours to prevent injury.
After this period freezing delays
but does not prevent hardening.
Freezing is delayed or prevented
by warming the material before
mixing and BY covering the new
work so as toIretain the heat in
the concrete. Salt is added by
some engineers, but the layman
probably should not add it with
out becoming fully informed a.
bout its use.

FOR THE CHILDREN
The Game of Artists.

A girl and boy are chosen as cap
tains, and they choose alternately from
the company until all are divided into
two parties under the respective cap
tains. Then the girl seats one Of her
party so that he must face the mem
bers Of the opposition. who then ad-
dress remarks to him, each in the char
acter Of an artist To every remark
the answer is, "'Twas l." except when
an artists name is mentioned. Then
he must say "Indeedr' For instance,
the head of the opposition might say,
II painted the picture of donkey"
"'Twas l."
HE was eating thistles."
"'Twas l."
"Rosa Bonheur furnished the copy"
Indeed" should be the answer to
this. Then the next member Of the
opposition takes up the observations.
"Chase has a new model"
"Indeedw
II got him for Chase from Sing
Sing"
"Indeed!"
"He was In Jail for bigamy."
"'Twas l."
No matter how much the other
guests may laugh while playing this
game, the victim must keep quite Sc
rious. If he laughs or If he fails to
make the proper response he is obliged
to take his seat with the opposite side,
and the captain who chose him loses
one member Of her company.
The idea is to see which leader will
have the larger party at the end of the
time fixed upon as the duration of the
game. The sides take turns in teasing
the victim sent from the opposite side.
Each member Of the opposite party is
expected to make three remarks 70
him, the first always referring to a
picture. II he fails in this he Is
promptly called to sit on the opposite
side.

An Export Duty?

whats the constitution am
ong friends?" This was Con-
gresham Tim Campbell's demand
of President Grover Cleveland;
and it evidently remains as sound
Democratic doctrine to this day.
For now we have the proposition
advanced seriously in high Dem
ocratic quarters that the strait
ened treasury shall be relieved
} by a special war revenue tax di-
rected against the manufactured
war munitions which the country
is producing in such large guam
titles.
In effect this IS an export duty,
such as the constitution forbids.
Yet among the arguments ad-
vanced in support of it is that
tax would be easy to collect be-
cause shipments of munitions
would be cleared at customs ports
and would be recorded. in ad6i-
tion, in ships papers.
The devices which the admin.
istration contemplates using tc
hide the disasters which it's poll.
cies have brought to the treasury
are numerous and ingenious anC
the legislation already enacted tt
secure relief is scarcely less so
But thus far the constitution hai
not been violated to make pOliti
cal capital for a bankrupt politi
cal party. We doubt if it eve
will be.

Preparedness-or Poll
ticsP

1 BAN0A
Democratic comment on Mr..
Bryan's pacifcist ideas, comment,
that is, which originates in White
House circles, deals entirely with
the incident in its political aspect.
Dismissing the effect of the Bry-
an propaA anda on the nation,
this comment confirms the sus-
picion that the Presidents con-
version to the cause of national
military preparedness is unreal,
that he stands in truth exactly
where he did a year ago, and
that his purpose is political rath-
er than patriotic.
These will be deemed harsh
conclusions by Wilson idolaters;
but we think they are warranted
by the facts.
The preparedness which the
President has advocated-in gen.
eral terms only-is not military
preparedness; it is political pre-.
paredness. 1t is the kind of pre-
paredness which politicians have
counselled him to advocate; it is
not the kind Of preparedness
which the military and naval ex-
perts of the country have formu-
lated. 1t is the kind of prepar-
edness which appeals to Josephus
Daniels, to Congressman Hay and
to Henry Ford. It is not the kind
of preparedness which appeals to
the Army War College or to the
General Board of the Navy. The
preparedness which these experts
advocate has been thrust into the
background. Theirs is a real
remedy for a very real ailment.
The other is a patent medicine,
which is being we'll advertised.
DR.. Wilson and DR.. Hay will
try to administer the patent med
icine. But Congress, before TAX
irg it. will insist upon knowing
the ingredients. Congress will
want to be told how much is pol
itics and how much is prepared
ness. 1t may be that Mr.. Wilson
has really "hit the sawdust trail"
as regards the national defense.
But Congress and the country
will have to be shown.

Alaskan Potatoes.

The potato is Alaska's most
important crop. and, according to
a commerce report, it is most
profitable one. Potatoes have
been grown in commercial guam
titles at the Fairbanks station for
several years. The object of
growing them there was to DEM
onstrate that good potatoes could
be grown in the interior, and the
report says that the farmers in
the vicinity have taken the hint.
Nearly all of them now devote
considerable acreage to this veg
etable. One farmer estlmaCed
his crop as high as fifty tons,
which. at 4 cents a pound. or$8O
a ton, the lowest price at which
potatoes have been sold in Alas
ka up to the present time, would
bring him $4,000. Hog raising
has also been started at Fair
banks, the hogs being ted on the
understandable potatoes.
