Man, Hat and Augur
the First Submarine

Alexander the Great was the real IN
yentor of the submarine. Commander

Periscopes and storage batteries did
not worry the ancient general. Com
mander Mccormick explained. and ne
never called his undersea fighters L
boats. Alexander's submarines con-
sisted of some soldier who could swim,
plus a waterproof hat and an auger.
"You are a submarine to-day" AleNan-
dcr would tell Glaucus, Dionysius or any
enc of his warriors. who would imme-
dately adjust his hat. pick up his
Guger and swim away TO commit an
overt act upon some unsuspectng gal
ley by boring holes in her bottom.
The hat. the commander said, was FOR
protection from the irate crew Of the
galley. who were accustomed, in the
absence OF six-inch rifles. TO pound the
human submarine on the coming tower
with bricks, or anything else handy,
whenever he came TO the surface to get
q breath.

Clearing House
For Patriotism Is
Opened by Mayor
Office in Municipal Build
ing Given to Local De-
fence Committee

The Mayors Committee on National
Defence yesterday opened a central
headquarters in the Municipal Building
as "a sort of clearing house for the
patriotism of New York City" accord
ing to the announcement Of Willard
Straight, chairman of the committee.
I'm view Of the present situation
said Mr.. Straight, "the Committee on
National Defence desires to make itself
as useful as possible to the people or
this city and to the national govern
ment. On every hand IS felt the need
of some connecting link between the
private citizens of New York City and
those who have our national defence
in charge. Many who desire TO ofer
automobiles, motor boats, aeroplanes
and other private resources 10 the gov
eminent are restrained by the fact that
they do not know the proper govern
mental agencies. Some have addressed
themselves to the Mayors Office, when
those offers should have been made to
Washington.
I'm addition to its other efforts,
therefore, the Mayors committee has
undertaken 70 create a sort OF clearing
house for the patriotism Of New York
CITY. To this end it has secured
through the Mayor the use of Room
1920 in the Municipal Building.
This will be used as the central
Headquarters of the committee. Mat
tiers of national concern brought to the
attention of the local authorities VIII
be referred 20 this headquarters. Any
information of service to the national
government will be received at this
Headquarters and forwarded 70 the
proper department in Washington. Any
citizen who desires TO offer material
or facilities to the government can be
placed in touch without loss OF time by
applying to the committee"
Ira II. Patchin will be in charge, Of
the new headquarters. Mr.. Patchin
until recently was secretary to Frank
L. Polk. counsellor of the State Depart
ment. and is therefore in touch with
the government departments in Wash
ington.

u. s. War Risk
Bureau Raises
Ship Insurance
Change Accepted as Recog'
milton of Practical War
with Germany

Washington, March 2l.-Complete
readiustment of rates charged by the
Federal War Risk Insurance Bureau Tor
insurance Of American vessels and car
goes. including an increase TO 3 per
cent of the charge on all ships passing
through the war zone, was announced
tonight by bureau officials.
The changes follow the extension OF
insurance TO many classes OF contra
hand not heretofore insured. and are
accented as a recognition of the prac-
teal state Of war with Germany and OF
the additional risks incurred by the
arming Of American merchantmen.
Until now the rates on vessels bound
for European ports through the war
zone have varied up to maximum OF
per cent. Early in the war a much
Iower maximum was obtained, the frst
important increase coming after the
announcement Of Germany's submarine
blockade.
The new schedule makes the fiat 3
per cent rate applicable TO all vessels
and cargoes that must pass through
the submarine zone, whether bound ior
belligerent or neutral ports.
In the readjustment the rates oe-
tween Atlantic Coast ports are made
twice those that apply between Pacihc
coast ports. Those between the Attain
tic coast and the West Indies are twice
those on Atlantic coastwise traihe, ana
those 10 South America are greater IN
about the same proportion.
The new rates, Notwithstanding the
increases. are considerably below the
rates charged by many private com
NAMES. the latter in some instances
going as high as 5 per cent.

to 1000 feet, Allen led the flyers IN
Overwhelming circles, until plane
was passing every few minutes above
the tiny spre on the chapel OF st.
Brigid's. Three times the aviators cir
cled. And when at last they were de-
scribing a great ring the radius oil
which was some three miles the circles
began TO narrow.
While eight ayiators were guiding their
craft above the cemetery proper, three
planes began a spiral descent. sud
denly the kissing sound a biplane
makes when il is volplaning downward
with its motor cut off was heard.
A great warbird whizzed low over the
Post Road, rose suddenly again to es-
cape the telephone wires strung on the
west side of the graveyard, and
skinned onward. A second later the
craft was over the grave, while from
the hand of Aviator Allan there fell a
bunch Of carnations. The flowers land
ed perhaps yard past the fresh eartn.
A few moments passed, and Bjork-
land sped 70 within fifty feet Of earth.
The flowers he fung landed almost in
the grave, just at the feet of the pail
bearers.
As Biorkland threw on the power
and rose June" Salmon flew low and
dropped two wreaths Then he, too,
sped upward and onward to rejoin his
circling comrades.
Greater and greater once more grew
the flying ring. Three times more, as
if in final salute. the aviators circled.
Then. one by one. they passed over
Garden City, and volplaned swiftly past
the high board fence and the group OF
hangers for a landing on Mineola field

$50 Sophomores
Hold Balance in
Princeton Revolt
Fate of Club System VIII
Be Decided by sigma
lures To-day
Lon q SO corrspondent q be rrlounel

fFrom a stan Correspondent Of The Tnbunel
Princeton, March 21.-With $50 soph-
ignores who have not yet taken stand
the result of the revolt against Prince
toms present social system hangs in
the balance at the end of the first day s
open struggle between the insurgents
and the conservatives in favor of the
clubs.
Richard F. Cleveland has ninety
sophomores pledged not to join upper
class clubs, and ninety men have al
ready accepted the invitations Of the
clubs to become members. Five Of the
seventeen clubs on Prospect Avenue
have as yet turned in no record of ac-
ceptances, and the lists of the twelve
who have signed up sophomore sections
vary in numbers from one to sixteen.
The largest sections are being re-
ported by the older clubs, which, &C
cOrding to campus gossip. means that
some of the more recently organized
clubs are going 10 have great difficulty
in obtaining sections for next year,
with the result that some of them may
be forced out Of existence.
OF the men who are supporting
Cleveland it is said that no more than
fifteen OF them would have become club
members under ordinary circumstances
In spite Of the fact that President
Hibben and Dean McClenahan have de-
clared strongly in favor of the move
ment inaugurated by Cleveland, 1t is
the sentiment Of the undergraduate
body that the revolt has failed.
In the sophomore class there are
still about $50 eligible for club mem
bership who have not as yet declared
their Intentions. Two regular hours,
from two TO three and from eight to
nine, have been established by the cleo
tions committees as the hours in which
men may sign up. To-morrow's figures,
which promise 10 include most of the
sorhomores still unaccounted for, are
expected to show which clubs will
stand or fall.

COLTS RESPOND TO FEEDING
Size OF Animal Determined First Win
ter After Weaning-Alm to Build
Up Big Frame.

No farm animal will pay more for
abundant feeding than the colt. The
first winter after weaving, the ulti-
mate size of the colt is largely deter
mined. We understand that the French
Percheron breeders feed as much as
ten pounds daily Of bran and oats to
their weanling colts.
The object Of feeding the weanllns
colt Is to induce the formation of a
big frame, with heavy muscling. Our
aim is not fat. Therefore. we prefer
to feed some bran, oil meal, and oats
In connection with corn. For this rea-
son, also, we prefer a good quality of
clover or alfalfa hay TO timothy hay.
In connection with timothy or corn
stover, we would feed mixture of FIVE
parts of corn, three parts OF oats, three
parts Of bran, and two parts Of oil

FEEDING WILL DOUBLE EGGS
Average Hen in Missouri Lays Sixty.
Three Eggs Annually-seantiiy
Fed Hen Is Poor Investment.
By II. l. Kempster. Missouri College
OF Agriculture)

By II. l. Kempster. Missouri College
Of Agriculture)
According TO the United States CEN
sus, Mlssouri's 21,OO0.O 900 hens lay ILL.,
100000 dozen eggs Annually. II this
is true, the average hen lays about 63
eggs a year. This is a poor record.
One reason why hens are not more
productive Is because usually they are
half fed. II is false economy to ex-
pect them TO pick their living from
the leavlngs of other stock. Many
farmers admit that they feed their
hens nothing during the summer. In
so doing, they are saving feed but los
Ing money.
productive hen requires from 20
to so pounds OF feed year. II she
gets only 40 TO 80 pounds, she will
simply satisfy her body requirements.
She will not lay eggs. The scantily
fed hen is a poor investment. II is
only the literally fed hen that yields
the profit.
Farmers should keep dry ground
feed, such as mixture of bran, shorts
and cornmeal, in hoppers before the
hens at all times. Either sour milk or
butter milk should be given as drink.
Crushed limestone or oyster shell
should be before the hens all the time,
and the hens should go to roost with
full crops.
One correspondent wrote that after
feeding according TO the directions of
the poultry department OF the Uni
verslty OF Missouri his hens laid twice
as many eggs. These directions are
given in circular 20, entitled Feeding
for Egg Production" which is dlstrib-
uted free.
