The player Is more or less charitable
when he finds his ball In a depression

for every drive or second shot to ind a

Of jo%urneying to the links solely Tor the

IRE in Connective Contest.

Because of the fact that there are two
regiments of high school cadets instead
of one this year. comprising eighteen
companies, far more than ever before
enrolled in Il single year. the annual COM
petitive drill is to be conducted this year
on lines different from any previous time
The custom in recent years has been to
have half of the regiment. or approx
mately half, drill on one afternoon, with
the remaining companies drilling the day
following
So many companies are to compete this
year that it would not be possible to have
them all compete in two afternoons
Therefore. instead of adding another day
to the program the drills are to progress
all day-May 81 and June lat the
American League ball park
No ticket o faGmission will be required
the first day or for the morning of the
second day. Tickets are to be issued for
the afternoon of the second day. however
when companies representing each of
the five white high schools are to give ex-
hibitions. J.
These companies will be chosen nv lot
and their efficiency at this time will have
nothing to do with the awarding of the
coveted banner. The prize winners will
be chosen by the judges during the drill
during the day and half preceding
Following the exhibition drills of the FIVE
companies the prize winners will be an

the present war had been heavier than
at any time since the industrial revival
of 1906. New Investments largely are
for ironworks. 'shipbuildins, paper mill

other chemical Industries.
Business Slumped in Japan fer a
time after the war began. and, accord
