Miss Emily and Her Store.

On the right side of the store, both
in the counter and on the shelves be-
hind 1t, were the notions-spools,
needles, calico, garter elastic and a
hundred other things your mother was
always wanting; while on the left side
were kept marbles, paper soldiers,
lead soldiers, slingshot elastic, air
guns, bows and arrows, states, whistles,
school pencils, compasses, paint-boxes
and a hundred other things you were
always wanting. Miss Emily sat
strategically at the rear Of the store,
and did not move till she knew for Ger.
tain what 1t was you were after. Now
adays this would be called efficiency.
In those days our parents called 1t
crankiness. When Miss Emily took
your pennies for an "aggie" or snap
per" or big glass pepper" she did so
sternly, and she always examined them
closely as II she expected counter
feits. She never smiled sweetly on
you, and called you Sonny" or little
boy" She never smiled at all.-At-

Salt Mountains.

Several hills of rock salt exist in AL
geria. One Of these, near Jelfa, is 300
feet high and nearly a mile across. In
spite Of the soluble character of the
material Of which 1t is composed, 1t
stands up In high relief from the sur
rounding clay, without any signs Of
erosion. There are in it, however, sink
holes, into which the torrential winter
rain soaks, being at once absorbed
and given out again at the base Of the
mountain in the form OF salt springs

Imitation Gold.

BY combining ninety-four parts of
copper and six parts Of antimony and
adding q small quantity Of magnesium
carbonate to increase the weight, a
substitute for gold is produced. This
alloy, 1t Is said, can be drawn, worked
and soldered much the same as gold
and 1t also takes and retains a gold
polish. 1t can be made for about %
cents pound when its constituents
can be bought at normal prices.

The government has little faith in

that he Is able to do this. Raiding has
increased rather than diminished

COOLIDGE MENTIONED FOR CRIMSON CAPTAIN
Likely to Succeed Gilman as Leader of 1916 Team--Dadmun Also
 X Candidate.

Cambridge, Mass, March 9.-Iar wards undergraduate student body did little yesterday except to discuss the football situation. The news that Capt. Gilman of the varsity eleven, to- gether with Players Boles and En- wright, had been dismissed from col lege by the faculty was altogether un- expected. The three players formed the nucleus for the 1916 team at Cam bridge.
 The football men remianing will be called together shortly to elect another captain. C. C. Coolidge, who played substitute end in the last two Yale games, seems to be regarded as the man most likely to land the place Dick Harte, one of last years regular end rushers, is a junior, as is Jose Harris, last years center rush. H. Dadmun a varsity tackle who came from Tufts, is another eligible, but his election is not at all likely. Harte is the varsity baseball catcher and is slated for captain of the nine next year.
 An effort will be made by the foot ball committee this week to come to an understanding with Percy Haugh- ton regarding his continuing as head coach.

GEN, GALLIENI AT 67 A VIGOROUS WORKER
Starts at 5 A. M. and Tolls Until
 After Dark
correspondence of tne Associated prer.,

tCorrespondence of the Associated Presss
 Paris, Feb. 24.-GeneraI GalIieni's great vigor and energy are being put to 8 severe strain in the war office. He begins work at 5 o'clock in the morn ing and keeps at it all day notwith- standing his 67 years, but with all his application, he finds the days work is never finished when night comes
 To say nothing of the responsibility of conducting the French military op- erations, he has to receive frequent visits from a considerable number of the 500 deputies and 300 senators; he has to attend meetings of the cabinet, participating in the deliberations of the French war council and of the Allies combined war councils; he is summoned before the war committee of the chamber and war committee of the senate two or three times a week to give information regarding the progress of the war, and he has to attend sessions of the chamber and senate on every occasion when mill tary questions are discussed, and ire quently to reply to one or two inter- pellations by members.
 Human Question Box.
 All that would be insufficient to ex- haust Gallieni's energy, but he has in addition to reply either from the speakers stand in the chamber or through the Journal Officiel to all sorts of questions posed in writina by members of parliament. These questions occupy from a dozen pages upwards every day, covering the wid- est imaginable range of subjects. The minister of war, of course, does not personally conduct that correspond ence, but since the reply engages his responsibility as minister, he must in each case know that the information is exact.
 You force me to follow profess sion that is not mine, General Gal lieni said in recent debate from the moment of pathetic despair. The profession to which he referred was that of debater and of general intel ligence agent for the benefit of the deputies. On a single day the minis ter of war was interrogated 119 times. The following specimens give an idea Of the range of questions:
 How many buildings were requis1- toned for use as hospitals before Oc- tober 1st, 1915; how many have been requisitioned since October 1st, 1915; how many hotels were there among them?"
 'Why are the daily reports of off, cers in charge of hospitals sometimes signed by head nurSes?'
 eff such and such paragraph of such and such a section of such and
New Britain herald., 1916-03-09

such a chapter of such and such a law was applied in such a case; if so; why? If not why not?"
 If it is true that in certain hospitals the patients of the same ward are al- lowed to take the air only vice a week and in squads of only six at time, and why?"
 Why in some sections of the army do men sleep with their clothes on?"
 Such cases have done more than anything else to call the attention of the public to the impositions that cer- tain members of parliament make up on the minister's time. It has devel- oped a decided current of opinion in favor of measures to put a stop to it. One proposition favored by the ad- journment of the session by the pres ident under the powers conferred up- on him by the Constitution of 1875. On the other hand, the socialists and republican socialists have proposed the nomination of a permanent com mission of A members with power to visit any part of the front and any military establish or quarters be- hind the front.

ATTEMPT IS MADE
 10 STOP BIG BOUT:
Assemblyman Tells Legislators
 Willard Is Not in Fit Condition

Albany. March 9.--An attempt to prevent the Willard Moran boxing contest being held in Madison square Garden on March 25 was forcstalled, temporarily at least, in the Assem- ply yesterday when Assemblyman Malone of Albany objected to the introduce tion of a resolution of Assem- blyman McCue of New York, a former pug Hist calling on the State Athletic Com mission to revoke the license for the fight.
 Malone's objections prevented the introduction of the resolution, TOT which unanimous consent was neceS- sary. McCue thereupon announced ne would move next Tuesday to suspend tho rules to permit it's introduction He argued that, under the regulation governing boxing, contests could be held only by bona fidc clubs composed of citizens of the State,
 "These rules are not going to be lived Up to in this fight" he declared. "I don't want the people to be hum hugGcd out of a. lot of money as they were a few months ago Then 8 man named Gibbons and a man named Me Tarland fought It was a sham of the worst kind. After they went back West they laughed at the suckers in New York
 II looked at Jess Willard d few days ago He is no more in condition to fight than I am. To permit this fight to be held will be the death knell of boxing in New York"
 Malone explained that he objected to the McCue resolution because he believed the fight was to be an honest one. He defended the State Athletic Com missioners and said thai if Will lard was unfit physically to enter the ring the commission would not allow the bout to be held

He holds the Exeter An dover dual meet record of 22 Is sec onds for the 22O-yard dash and was the mainstay of the Exeter team in the sprints while a student at that school. Under Johnny Mack he has improved in the dashes and great things are expected of him this year

DUNDEE BEATEN BY BENNY LEONARD Fast and Furious Bout at Garden
 Won By Slight Margin

New York, March 9.-For ter rounds at Madison Square Garden lasi night Benny Leonard, the Harlem lightweight and Johnny Dundee, the little Italian boxer, indulged in the most spectacular bout that has been seen in a New York ring in long while. The cool, cautious Leonard was pitted against the dogged aggres. siveness of Dundee, and if there was any advantage when the end came Leonard had 1t by a very narrow mar gin.
 Dundee fought his usual aggressive battle. He was always coming in head down but his arms were swing ing wildly last night, and he missed repeatedly. Leonard did not resort to swinging. He hit out straight from the shoulder and popped Dundee's face until it was red and his nose bleeding. Leonard's generalship and good judgment was remarkable for so young a boxer. When the most dan- gerous of Dundee's smashes came al him he ducked and sidestepped with the agility of a ballet master.
 The big moment of the scrap came in the eighth round, when Leonard ] hooked a quick, sharp blow to Dun 1 dee's jaw, and the Italian went to l the floor. He bounced up again and rushed wildly at Leonard, who man. | aged to keep him away until the bell
 sounded. Dundee rushed so wildly
 that time and again he had to go into l clinch to stop himself. At in- l fighting the Italian pounded Leon , ards body thoroughly, but he was un- 1 able to land often on his face or jaw.
 Leonayd finished the bout without a
 mark on his face. He boxed care 1 full cool-headed fight and permitted l Dundee to go ahead in his madness l The bout was full of action from the l start. Neither of the boxers tired 1 until the tenth round and, although
 the work of fatigue was upon them
 they went at each other and made 2
 spectacular finish. Leonard weighed
 131h pounds and Dundee 129.

Inter- est centered in the featuring which was as interesting as such affairs go The champion won as was expected, but it was surprise to many that it re- quired the length of time to accom- plish the task. The first fall came af- ter 30 minutes of hard work. After the rest Draak went after his man in the usual burlesque fashion, only to succumb in less than twelve minutes.
 Probably the most favorable impress sion of the evening, was made by The Masked Marvel" in his bout with Farmer" Bayley. The unknown is. with out a doubt the finest specimen of an athlete that has ever appeared in the Capitol City, and the ease and grace that featured his work, was roundly applauded by the spectators. It required a little over 30 minutes for the Marvel to pin his opponents shoulders to the mat twice.
