Poughkeepsie Crews Receive In.
vitation to Compete in Re-
gatta at Seattle July 10.

pOUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. June Is
D. S. Trefethen. a former Harvard oars
man, came here today and invited the
crews of Pennsylvania. Columbia and
Cornell to Join Yale and Harvard in an
intercollegiate regatta at a time to be
set later. preferably the week of July
10, at Seattle. Leland Stanford, Wash
ington and California will be the con-
testants from the Pacific Coast. Har-
ward has already virtually agreed to go,
whatever the outcome of the Yale Har-
ward race. Trefethen brought the in
vitation from the Seattle Chamber OF
Commerce, which guarantees to meet
the expenses. provided they come within
certain limits. The trip will cost APP
proXimately s25,COo.
The regatta is the outcome of one pro-
posed to be held at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition. which fell through for lack
OF funds, The present race was ,1lrsi
discussed as a possibility by Ralph
Horr, graduate manager of athletics at
the University of Washington, when
here with the Washington crew a year
ago. 1t was the enthusiastic indorse-
ment of Robert Herrick. graduate di-
rector of rowing at Harvard.
The PENNSYLVANIA oarsmen unant-
rnously favor the idea, but fear that
Coach Vivian Nickalls will be unable
to accompany them unless he can be
the Philadelphia rowing clubs during
the summer. The plan Is to take all the
| crews West, following their races this
| month in a special train in order tc
hold down the costs. The proposition
has been placed before the authorize,

SEES WEALTH in THE LAND
Chinese Philosophers, Chang Chen, 10
Called the Ben franklin Of
That Land.

The Benjamin Franklin of China,
the sage philosopher of the celestial
land, is Chang Chen, the modern
minister of agriculture and COM
merce whose one idea is to put his
country on a sound economic and
social basis by improving the land.
Mr.. Chang was born sixty-two
years ago. His father was wealthy
land owner of Haimen, a country
town in Kiagsu province, near the
mouth of the Yangtze river, a great
cotton-producing district As boy
he saw the horrors of the TAPPING
rebellion, which stirred him to help
his country to better things.
In the old regime the gateway to
success in political life lay in schol-
arship, and Chang passed the high
est in his province and became noted
in China for his learning. But he
did not bury himself in books. On
the contrary, he devoted all his en-
ergy to founding and maintaining
elementary, agricultural and techni-
cal schools, as well as charitable in
stitutions. Furthermore, he was re-
sponsible for increased production in
his province both of crops and facto-
ries. Land reclamation. fish hatch
cries and the improvement of water
ways were also on his program.

JUST HOW T0 CURE a COLD.
All Depends, Some Physicians De-
clare, on How the Patient Ac-
quired the Complaint.

The proper treatment of a cold,
according to many physicians, de-
pends in some degree upon the way
the person has taken the cold. 1t is
necessary to go back to the beginning
OF the illness-to begin where the
cold began.
For instance, if one catches cold
by getting the feet cold, say by going
out with thin shoes, and getting wet
and chilled, it is not the cold but the
long chilling that does the harm.
The best measure is to take a hot
foot bath. The cold got in through
the feet, so it should be driven out
through the feet.
If one gets cold by exposing the
back of the neck to draft, resulting
in a lame back, soreness, cold and
stiffness in the neck, then hot appli-
cations should be made to the beck of
the neck.
If the cold is the result of general
exposure and lowering of the gen.
cral bodily temperature then a gem
cral hot bath is good. This should
be taken at night. Drink a couple
OF glasses of hot water, get into the
hot bath and stay there about half
an hour.
Have the bath hot enough to set
up perspiration. 1t may be as hot as
one likes in the beginning, but when
persplration begins, lower the tenn
perature to about 100 degrees, and
keep 1T there for about half an hour
more. Then lower it to about 95 de-
grees and stay in the bath another
hour. One may safely remain in
the bath two hours if suffering with
a really bad cold.
Drink some more water at the
close of the bath and 90 to bed. 1t
is well to drink just as much water
as one can.

GRAIN DOCKS AT ANTWERP
Plan ContempIates Concentration OF
All City's Business Of That Par
tlcular Description.

The dock of the concentration"
at Antwerp was, by the action of the
city authorities just prior to the
declaration of war, to have been a
reality in 1916. The plan, conceived
ten years ago, is TO concentrate at
one great dock all the grain barges
which serve as warehouses and the
hoatlng elevators which furnish the
business to Antwerp's 800 grain
houses. These elevators, with eight
new ones voted last year, are twelve
in number and are owned by the mu-
nicipality. They are pneumatic,
with lift of 100 feet, and one cares
for a cargo of 5000 tons in about
three days, which formerly detained
a vessel there for fourteen days when
hand labor was employed. While
host'lltIes may perhaps set the work
back another decade, hope NAV be
derived by Antwerp and other strick-
en- cities by remembering how calam-
lty often has most stimulating eff
feet upon industry-as in such cases
as San Francisco, Baltimore, etc.

IMPERATIVE NEED FOR SISAL
Not Soda Fountain Gas. but the
Stuff Necessary to Make
| Binder TWine.

If the United States had not sent
several warships TO Progreso, Yucca
tan, to force the free expectation of
Sisal, which had been forbidden by
Carranza, the American farmers
would now be in terrible straits.
Sisal hemp is used to make the
binder twine for harvesting wheat
and the farmers will need lot of it
this year for the bumper crop. Sisal
Is also grown in Java, East Africa,
the Bahamas and the Hawaiian
islands, but little has been exported
from those places since the war be-
gan. 1t was therefore necessary that
Carranza's prohibition he brushed
aside and that the free expectation
of sisal be allowed. As soon as this
began the exports for June, 1915,
Jumped to 123,350 bales as COM
pared with S0,208 bales for the same
month in 1914. In June, 1914, sisal
was bought for % cents (Mexican)
per kilo, kilo being about 2 Is
pounds, while in June, 1915, the
price paid for sisal was 1O4 cents
'(McXican) I per kilo The tremen-
dous increase in price is due to the
heavy demand for it, which is in
creased by the fact that it is impos-
'ible to import from Europe prod
ucts that might replace sisal in max
ing binding twine.

MONEY SIDE OF THE WAR
When international Credit "Went to
Pot" So to Speak, over
night.

In the August American Maga-
zine a well-known American banker
writes an article entitled 'The Mon
ey Side of the War;" in which he
reveals many surprising facts. In
the course of his article he tells as
follows how international credit
went to pot'' overnight:
con July 27, 1914, in the midst
of the crash of security values on our
stock exchange, 100000 of our
gold was exported. The next day
Austria declared war on Serbia and
in the ten days thereafter we sent
S45,000,000 more gold out of this
country. The war became general.
Great Britain and most of the con-
tinental countries declared morato-
ria. That meant internationally
that these nations stopped paying
their debts, but they could ask the
other fellow to pay what he owed
them. America, which did not de-
clare any moratorium, thus became
the target for everything. We were
the only people that declared them
selves ready to pay cash.
STERLING exchange continued to
rise, and at one time soon after the
outbreak of the war touched 81.
This meant that, whereas ordinarily
it costs us $4.S65, we will say, to buy
the equivalent of what G1 will buy. it
then cost us 81. And if we owed
$1,000 in London and had to paw it
at once, it cost us $1,000 to do it,
instead of, as ordinarily, $4,S65.
Even at that it was almost impos-
slble to get any amount of exchange.
Our vaunted international credit
system, built up over a series of gem
erations. went TO pot overnight.
Ocean transportation was violently
disarranged. 1t was impossible to
get bottoms wherein 70 ship; and the
rates for marine and war insurance
ran so high that manufacturers
could no longer afford to ship"

SEEMED FATHER OF WORMS
Small Wonder That Little One Was

Weeta is little girl who lives in

Ordinarily, her communication, if
not yea, yea, and nay, nay, is as
acceptable in the sight of good folk
as that of any six-year-old; but last
week an incident occurred which
startled her out of her accustomed
decorum. She had been taken to
the country for a visit and accom-

labors, he uncovered huge black
snake that had hidden under a pile
of boards.
