Cheer Up For ChriStmasl

Be cheerful. Christmas, rue to its custom, is again with us. Another year has , ranged itself with those that have gore before, as happens annually. Cheer upl The laws of nature are still in working order.
 Christmas is generally con sidered an occasion for cheer. Merry Christmas" is the 1 slogan of the day, usually with the appendage Happy New Year" It is also the time you receive a large num-
 Der of things you don't want, In exchange for the same number that you would rath- CT have kept. 1t is also the time father carries the box ot cigars mother gave him out to the woodshed, removes the bands, places them on
 cigars of bis own and gives what they originally contain cd to the ash man. Be careful just the same. Think of the excellent chance
 you had to pass on the white elephants kind friends pre- Scnted you with the year be- fore. You probably think you had to buy d lot of presents. Well. the more you gave away the more you received. Cheer upl You don't live in
 that western town of 400 in- hibitants who are all related and where every family has
 to play santa Claus with a moving van to remember all
 the others.
 There are any number of things to be cheerful about.
 If you are rich, be cheerfuli
 Think of all the things you
 can buy. If you are poor, re-
 member all the things you
 can't and won't have to both-
 CT selecting. If you have a
 good appetite, you are lucky
 to be healthy; if you haven't,
 remember all you are saving
 ill butcher and grocery bills.
 You can be cheerful about
 everything if you only look
 at it right end to.-Louis B.

linsessman-Doetor Torrey' Penn. Time OF periods
HAvERFoRD. Pa, Nov 25.-Every-
thing Is in readiness for the big game be-
tween Swarthmore and Haverford this
afternoon. The special stands have been
erected and Walton Field is in shape to re-
celve more than 10000 spectators.
crowd OF this size is expected at the game.
Never before has spirit run so high.
Alumni from both colleges have travelled
hundreds of miles to witness the struggle
between two elevens that have gone through
the season without n defeat. Two weeks
ago Swarthmore was the heavy favorite,
but today the odds have shifted to even
money. Injuries have depleted the ranks
of the Garnet, but at that the team has a
chance. Wilson, who never played the po-
sition before, has been shifted to center to
take the place OF Donnelly, Clark and Nc
Govern, all of whom were injured while
playing the position. Alva Bush is back
however, and his presence strengthens
Swarthmore twenty-five per cent.
Haverford will send a well-trained and
well-coached team out on the field Mike
Bennett, the coach, has been training the
men for this one game and he has pro-
nounced them fit. Early in the season Hav-
erford played tie games with Delaware,
Stevens and New York University, but the
others have resulted in victories. The back
field. with Captain Ramsey. Crosman, Van
Dam and Sangree is one OF the best ever
turned out by a small college, as the men
have been playing for a long time and
have their team play perfected. Indlvid-
ualy, they do not compare with Bush,
Cornog, Baker and Johnson. of Swarth-
more, but they probably will get their plays
of smoother.
This is the twenty-fourth meeting between
the teams, Swarthmore winning thirteen.
Haverford eight and two were ties The
last two games played since athletic rela-
tlons were resumed resulted in to 8 tie

Swarthmore surprised the football world
early last month by defeating Lafayette
At that time the Eastonians were con-
sidered a strong team and had not hit the
toboggan. On the following Saturday Bill

GoLDFIELD's IMPROVED PROSPECTS

In the opinion OF many good authorities the year that
has lust begun is likely to witness developments OF the
greatest moment in the Goldfield district. 1t has been
consideration that the successful introduction OF the Ito
tory ores of the district, will alone result in doubling the
working population of the district and will vastly IN
crease the production of metals here.
In providing a ready market for ores OF this charac-
fer. it is pointed out, companies and owners OF claims
who have been unable to work their ground protltably IN
the past will be stimulated to renewed endeavors to open
I'D producing mines. and the search for ores OF a
grade sufficiently good to yield a profit in treatment by
flotation is likely to result in the opening OF deposits or
high-grade material. such as have made the district ia
nous the world over. This, in fact, is regarded as one OF
the most important phases of the Introduction OF a pro
cess to treat the low-grade product of the district.
The success that has attended the application OF the
flotation process in other districts producing refractory
ores stimulates the belief, expressed by many competent
authorities. that success will attend its introduction into
Goldfie1d. Exhaustive tests have been conducted, here
and elsewhere, with ore from various parts OF the Gold
field district, and these have been uniformly successful,
according to official reports. The question of Goldfields
future, with regard to its production OF loW-grade ore
now rests upon the tonnage of this ore available, and 1t
is we'll known that the mines under development contain
a vast tonnage of this ore, with indications that large adj
ditional quantities will be opened with further develop
ment on deeper levels.
Practically all the deep level ores of the district con
tain copper, in greater or less quantity, rendering them
that have been available here in the past, but readily
amenab1e to the flotation process of treatment. Several
properties that have been idle for years past. owing to
the presence of copper in the ore found, VIII be enabled
to resume work when a market is provided for their low
grade product. The outlook is decidedly encouraging.

SIGNIFICANCE IS STILL OBSCURE

News contained in today's dispatches, to the effect
that the entente powers have at last demanded the exDul-
sion of the Germanic diplomatic representatives at Ath-
ems. is subject to two differences, widely at variance re-
garding the causes leading to this demand. One infer
ence is that the entente allies have so far completed prep
arations for conducting a campaign in force in the
Bankans and in Greece that they consider the time ripe,
and their ability assured, for coercing Greece and COM
pel1ing from King Constantine's government an une-
uuivocal declaration of its position.
The other inference. which appears to the reader of
the dispatches as being possessed of an equal amount of
logic. is that this demand indicates the forcing of the al
lies hand. rather than that of King Constantine; that
the situation for the allies has become so menacing with
the continued successes of the Teutonic forces, that the
entente has been compelled to adopt this course as a
measure of self-preservation and as a last desperate re-
course, in the hope that Greece, threatened by strong al
lied forces at Saloniki and at two other ports at no great
distance from Athens, will be prevailed upon to make
common cause with the allies. The climax in the
Balkan situation has plainly been reached and the next
week should develop something of a definite nature in
this theater.

WHERE THE TUNGSTEN GOES

For some months past various brokers have been ex-
ceedingly active in the purchase of aluminium; first they
bought scrap, and when that stock became exhausted
they began to bid for aluminium electrical conductors in
position, at prices that made it profitable to take down
the aluminium and replace it by copper of equivalent con-
ductivity. Lately they have been purchasing such stock
before it has been strung. If any owner of aluminium
conductors, either in service or in the warehouse still has
any of it, either he has escaped the search of spectators
or he is holding it for speculation on his own account.
Where is it all going? Present evidence indicates
that a complete answe may be found in the chemical liter
ature of about four or five years ago, when a French
chemist announced his discovery of an unusually powerful
explosive, which he called ammonia" the name being a
combination of the chemical symbols of its component
parts. ammonium nitrate and aluminium.
A letter received recently from a German officer who
was in the battle at Loos stated that in an examination
of a position out of which the Germans were driven and
which they afterward recovered, he counted some GAO
dead in a space of about one hectare, of which less than
ten per cent showed signs of mutilation. "The others
were killed by that new terrible French explosive" =

PATIENCE HAS BECOME EXHAUSTED

If those miners who have volunteered to organize a
regiment to hunt down the perpetrators of the massacre
of Monday really get busy, it is likely that something will
be heard to pop in Mexico and that public opinion IN this
country will overwhelmingly support any action the III
vading party of Americans may take. 1t requires no
great stretch of imagination to foresee intervention by
our government as a direct sequence to the pursuit OF the
murderers BY American citizens, whether with or with
out the sanction of the Carranza sO-called government.
The patience Of the American people has long been un-
der an acute strain, but the atrocities committed by Villa
and his adherents of late have brought public indignation
to a point where nothing short OF intervention or TIE
immediate and violent determination of Villa will afford
even a remote degree of satisfaction.
Now is the time for all good men who represent con-
stituencies at the national capital to get up on their hind
legs and launch over the villainous villainies OF Villa.
