UNITING the Family.


How many households have a fam
lily hour-a definite time in the week
when all the members of the family
gather in perfect serenity for an inter-
val of genuine communion? Although
civilization brings many advantages in
its train. it has the great fault Of tend
ing to disrupt family intercourse. Each
member has too many individual activ-
tiles. Fathers have their business:
sons, their business or education; moth
ers, their domestic duties or social oc-
equations; daughters, their business.
their education OF their social life.
All these things arc right and worthy
in themselves, but they do not tend to
weld the family. If members of a fam
lily will make it a rule to devote them
selves for one hour in the week wholly
to IL another the spirit of family life
will be ul:rkcned and strengthened.
Often the members of Il family pursue
parallel courses that do not intersect.
1t is mere platitudc to point out that
great events-travel, marriage, death
and the like-must inevitably cause
disintegration. But so long as the fam
lily is together under one roof the spirit
Of union and common interests should
be fostered.-Youth's Companion.

How Chalk Is Formed.

Deposits of chalk arc found on some
shores of the sea, y piece of chalk,

something on the blackboard at school.
consists of the remains of thousands of
tiny creatures that at one time lived in
the sea. All OF their bodies, excepting
the cllalS-called carbonate of lime in
scientific language-has disappeared
ana the chalk that WAS left was piled
up whore it foil at the bottom of the
ocean, each particle pressing over it all
until it became almost solid. 1t took
thousands of years to make these chalk
deposits of the thickness in which
they are found. Later on. through
changes in the carth's surface, the
mountain of chalk was raised until it
stood out OF the water and thus be
came accessible to man and school
teachers.

A Birds Barbed Wire Fences,

There is in Central America Il brown
wren about the size of Il canary which
builds a curious nest. 1t selects n
small tree with horizontal branches
growing close together. Across two Of
the branches it lays sticks fastened to-
gether With tough fiber until a plat
form about six feet long by two feet
wide has been constructed. On the
end of this platform nearest the tree
trunk it then builds Il huge dome
shaped nest 9; foot or so high With
thick sides of interviewer thorns. \
covered ~passagcway is then made from
the nest to the end of the platform in
as crooked 4 II us possible.
Across the outer end as we'll as at
short intervals along the inside of this
tunnel are placed cunning little fences
of thorns with just space enough for
the to pass through. On going
out this opening is closed by the own
er by placing thorns across the gate
way, and thus the safety of the eggs
Or young is assured.

MIAMI REGATTA
DRAWS BIG FLEET
OF RACING BOATS

A much larger feet Of cruising and
racing power boats has gone South this
winter than at any previous time, their
owners being attracted by the sport in
view and the prizes offered at the third
annual Miami regatta, to be held in
Biscayne Bay.
Carl G. Fisher, who is promoting the
big races, which begin on January 49,.
has entered two boats-the Shadow III
and the Raven Ill Both were built by
the Purdy Boat Company at Indianapo-
lis, and each is equipped with two
eight-cylinder speedway engines of 200
horsepower each. The new boats are
80 feet long, 9 feet beam and feet 4
inches draft. Their estimated speed
is thirty-one miles an hour. They will
carry fuel sufficient TO give them q
cruising radius OF 250 miles.
The three days racing will open with
a free for-all contest for open displsce-
ment boats on Thursday, January 10.
The oval shaped course Of two and a
half miles. which is in full view from
the grandstand, will be covered three
times by this class. The express
cruisers, which have qualified with a
speed of twenty miles an hour or bet
ter, cover the course four times-ten
miles. On the second day the displace-
ment boats go ten miles and the ex-
press cruisers fifteen miles. Both
classes go twenty miles on the third
day.
An interesting feature Of the Miami
festivities in the yachting line will be
a long-distance race on each OF the six
Saturdays following the local races. AZ
least half a dozen Of the express
cruisers are entered for these events,
the first Of which will be on January ~
from Miami TO Key West, distance Of
i6l miles. The second race will be
from Miami TO Palm Beach, GO miles;
the third from Palm Beach back 10
Miami; the fourth, of ITO miles, to Gun
Key Light and return. The NTH race
will be from Key West 20 Miami, and
the sixth from Miami 10 Nassau.
Besides the regular prizes offered,
the cities OF Key West, Miami and
Palm Beach contribute trophies.

OREGON ELEVEN
BUILDS DEFENCE
AGAINST BERRY
BY ROBERT {. FOLWELL,
Coach OF Penn Football Team.


Pasadena, Cal, Dec 30.-The Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania football team
will face the University of Oregon
eleven on the gridiron Monday after
noon. My team is ready for the game,
and it is my opinion that the Feast OF
Roses will be celebrated by Penn eX-
clusively, in n football sense. With
the exception OF Glenn Urquhart, our
end, the boys are in first class condl-
ton. and confident Of winning. II
Urquhsrt does not play Al Crane will
start the game, and those who have
watched that boys work in the East
will vouch for his ability as a player.
Our boys are a little stiff, and a few
showed traces Of going stale during
the trip scrcss the continent. A hard
practice drill or two will put them
right on edge Lew Little, the 200
pound tackle, is frisky as colt and
simply spelling for action. Lud Wray
and Charley Henning have rounded TO
condition nicely, and all we can ask is
something Ike an even DTeah III the
luck OF the game.
The Oregon team has specialized,
believe, upon 3 defence against Howard
Berry. Well, | can say that our big
Limited" is running on schedule time,
and II he gets loose there will be merry
times. While Oregon is watching
Berry they had best keep one eye on
HOBBY Light. | have built up one or
two plays around this fellow and they
should be big ground gamers.
Oregon is the fsvorite with the fans,
and not without cause. IL played Gil
Dobie's unbeaten University of Wash
inEton team 10 scoreless tie, and de
feated Washington State College,
coached BY William Lone Star Deitz,
the former Carlisle Indian star. How
ever, being on the short end Of the
betting does not bother us any. We
hope 70 win IL we can.

By CAPTAIN JAMES c. SUMMERS

Rising like phantom craft from the
yachting horizon Of 1917 the faint out
lines of a mighty feet Of sail and
pover-driven vessels are being picked
up by the lookout aloft in the crows
nest" They are heraldlng the APP
approach, few months hence, OF what
promises TO be the banner season OF
yachting in American waters.
Everything points TO a successful
year for this royal sport. The raclhs
spirit is keener than ever, as SHOWN by
the increasing demand for more yachts
OF the one-design class. At this early
date thirty new sloops have been or
dered for delivery in time for the open
ing of the 1917 racing season.
The boys who, few years ago, were
learning the game BY hosting and TRIM

brave effort to annex many coveted

Many New Yachts
With half a hundred new yachts add
ed to the already well filed racing
classes, and more races both for san
and power craft than ever before, the
season Of 1916 was truly brilliant
one from its early start 70 late finish;
IL passes into history as record
breaker and the clubs that race on Long
Island Sound have had much to do with
its success. Chief among these clubs
for racing popularity is the Larchmont,
as evidenced every season by the num-
Der Of starters in its annual regatta
on July and its race week, its only
rival in that respect being the
Corinthian Yacht Club Of Marblehead.
In It's six days Of racing this year
the Larchmont Yacht Clubs race week
had 622 starters. an average OF JOB
yachts each day. The Ventura, owned by
Commodore George F. Baker. jr., OF the
New York Yacht Club, and sailed by
Robert W. Emmons, I'd, the manager OF
the cup yacht Resolute, carried off the
honors among the "ffties," and, more
over, she turned out to be the cham =
