ARMY OFFICER
|NvtNTS ENGINE
NEW GAS TURBINE IS EXPECT.
ED TO REVOLUTIONIZE APPLI-
CATION OF w TO SEA GO.
ING VESSELS.

Dallas, Texas, Dec. 18.-An engine
that may revolutionize the application
Of power to sea sevvels and which is
thought to be worth millions of dollars
to the United States navy has been
perfected by Commander Walter Ball,
in charge Of the Dallas navy recruit
ing district and for 15 years chief ma
chinist in the Navy. A model of this
engine has been tested out in New
York and found to be a success. The
plans and patents will lbe turned over
to the Navy by Commando Ball with
his compliments, after a few minor
details about the engine are improved
and changed.
The engine is a gas turbine, some
thing new to the world and something
that inventors have worked on since
the steam turbine was invented. It will
develop tire times as much power to
it's weight as other engines and may
be run without lubricating oil, having
no friction whatever.
Commander Ball has worked on his
invention for the past five years
James H. Cooley, a noted New York
mechanical engineer, helping him. HI
came to Dallas from his home in New
York to succeed Lieutenant Kemp herr
and left the tests with Cooley. HI
has completed the small changes to b
made on a set of plans he had in Dial
las and has sent these to New York.

CONCERNING FOOD
AnD ITS VALUE

There + certain materials not we'll
understood yet that stimulate growth.
In experiments at the Wisconsin Col
lege Of Agriculture, it was found that
when other fats were substituted for
butter fat or the fat in the yolk Of an
egg fed young rats, they stopped
growing till either butter fat OF the
fat from the yolk Of an egg was fed.
It was also found that there is another
kind Of growth material found quite
abundantly in milk, in the yolk Of an
egg, in fresh meat, fresh fish, in tne
outer seen coats from cereals and lie
gumes as peas, beans, lentils. These
growth Of stimulating materials not
only produce growth but make the
body more resistant of disease.
In these days of high prices it is
important to keep in mind the impor-
lance of such foods as milk, butter
and eggs, for the growing child as we'll
as to provide breads containing some
of the bran. The white wheat flour
and polished rice have had the growth
stimulating material removed. Milk
and butter or whole milk are, however
the greatest growth producing and
growth stimulating foods and the nu-
trients in milk are comparatively cheap
A quart of milk contains as much nu-
TRENT as half a pound of meat, in adj
dition to the growth stimulate
terial there is no waste.-Agr. Exten-
sion Department.

song on the feast Of st. Nicholas

Santa Claus:
Santa Claus. you good-natured man,
Give me some nuts and sweetmeats-
Not too much. not too little.
Throw them into my apron.
For q Christmas without gifts would

there is a gift bringer, akin in nature.
Il different in name. to the good St
Nicholas, once bishop Of Myra, who
loved children and whose memory lives
vitality today through its association
with the great Christmas festival. Kriss
Kringle, Father Christmas, Santa
Claus, S%underkloos, are identical. The
holy Christ child comes to Germany.
In mystical Brittany the Christ HIM
self Is thought to come to bless the
househeldsvof the pious,s~ especially the
homes Of simple shepherds.
In Spain on twelfth Night" all the
people, young and old, .put their shoes
and slippers out on the balcony out
side the window in order that the three
kings journeying by may see and fill
them. There r also %grotesque Christ
mas visitors. Knave Ruprecht, terror
Of Teutonic babyhood, has a load Of
nuts and apples and other goodies with
him, as well as his traditional bunch Of
switches.
The "julbok" or "klapperbok," a tall,
thin beast, with goatskin covered head,
is after naughty Danish children, just
as the "habersack" is after those in the
Hartz mountains. Sunderkloos sends
sometimes a goat laden with presents.
The animals which the saint Of
Christmas uses for his carriers are
quite as various. Bonner and Bitten

Santa drives a span of reindeer in Swe-
den. In Alaska he comes by dog team.
Camels, so the story goes, bring the
three kings into Spain on their gift
bringing errand, though sacred art
would show us that horses might be
used as well historically.

ton horses, the hobby horses Of the

MCCOY MUST BE
GIVEN CHANCE TO
BOX DARCY LATER

New York, March Fired A.
Wenck, chairman Of the State Ath-
letic Commission, yesterday notified
Grant Hugh Browne, athletic director
Of Madison Square Garden, that un-
less the latter agreed to stage bout
between AL Mccoy, the Brooklyn mid
dleweight, and Les Darcy, the Aus
tralian boxer, within 80 days after
the latters engagement with Jack
Dillon at Madison Square Garden next
Monday night, under the same terms
as are called for in McCoy's original
contract to box Darcy. the proposed
Dillon-Darcy bout would not receive
the sanction of the commission.
A recommendation that this action
be taken by tie Boxing Commission
was sent the other day by Chairman
Wenck to the two upstate commission
ers, Frank Dwyer and John Franey,
and Yesterday Wenck received a vote
from one Of his contemporaries In
which his proposed action was sus-
tanned. It is expected that word
from the other commissioner will ar
rive tonight.
Grant Hugh Browne left this city
on a late train last evening for his
home at Goshen, ostensibly for the
purpose of getting Darcy's consent to
a match with Mccoy after the Aus
tralian's bout with Dillon. Darcy is
doing his training for the latter bout
at Brownies Goshen home, and is re-
ported in excellent condition.

YALE, DISCOVERS
STAR IN PITCHER
DAvEY OF ODERLIN

New Haven, March 2.-COach Billy
Lauder of the Yale baseball team is
hoping that the promising squad of
butchers which answered the call for
Volunt GERS sent out from headquarters
a. little while ago, will turn out some
real stars this season. From present
there is some chance that
they will. When the call was issued
Coach Lauder knew that he COULD de-
pend on the work of Garfield, Conner
ford and Carey and that in Dick
Grant and Curtis Smith he had two
pitchers of great promise, Smith hav-
ing figured in a no hit no run game
for the second team during the 1916
season.
Since practice started, however, two
new men have appeared that Coach
Lauder may be able to MAKE extensive
use of during tn coming season. One
Of these is Joseph Neville, half back
ON last falls football team, and Paul
Davey, of Kent, Ohio, who came here
from Oberlin year ago with a record
hard to beat.
Davey pitched for Oberlin two years
ago when every pitcher on the squad
except him had graduated. Out Of the
II games which he pitched, he lost
four out of the first five games played,
and then ba1gged six in a row. Among
the college teams played were West
ern Reserve, Ohio State, Wesleyan,
Case. Akron. Wooster and Mount
Union.

HARVARD TO ROW
COLUMBIA MAY Is

New York, March 2-Columbia' s
varsity eight-oared crew will row
Harvard in mile and eighths
race on the Charles River Basin at
Cam bridge on Saturday, May 10, &C
cording to an announcement made
yesterday by Harry A. Fisher, grad
uate manager of athletics at Column
bia. Negotiations for the race have
been pending for more than two
months and the arrangements were
completed only yesterday.
The race will be the third between
the two universities since James C.
Rice was appointed coach of the
Columbia crews in the fall of 1906.
In 1907 Columbia defeated the Grim
son in two-naile race on the Charles
and two years later was itself decisive
ly beaten by the Harvard varsity eight
in a race of the same distance. On
the Harvard schedule the race will
fill the gap caused by the severing
of rowing relations with Cornell,
while it will add a much-needed con-
test to the Columbia program.

FULTON WILLING
TO FIGHT MORAN
OR ELSE COFFE\

New York, March Fired Fulton,
the tall man from Minnesota, has ar
rived in town again. Fulton says that
he is decidedly doubtful whether Jess
Willard, means to give him chance
so he has revised his decision to wait
for the champion and will take on any
OF the contenders If a goodly purse
Is Forthcoming. He declares that he
will not be the least averse to- trying
the effect Of his long left hook on
Frank Moran. provided there is any
demand for the match by the time Mo-
ran gets through with Carl Morris,
and that II Jim Coffey still is willing
he, too. can have match.
Fulton is very wise in deciding to
continue eliminating his various rivals
instead of retiring from the scene un-
til Willard makes up his mind to fight.
II Fulton expects to gain the SYM
pathy OF the sporting world in his eff
fort to corner the champion it is up
to him to prove that he always is
willing to fight when the occasion de-
mands, otherwise there Is no particu-
lar reason why an attempt to sup
plant Willard with another member OF
the pacifist party should be made

on Sunday afternoon and, if such be
so, should reach here late Saturday
night, Neither Donovan, Capt
Huston nor Harry Sparrow has heard
from the eccentric pitcher.
OF course Caldwell will be greeted
with wide open arms by both Dono-
van and Capt. Huston, but will not be
allowed to have things his own way
Ray will have to pitch IN each day
with the other players or take the
consequences.
I'VE have treated Caldwell WELL
stated Capt. Huston after being in
formed that Ray was coming s'and we
expect him to keep in condition and
give his best services to the team
Ray is one Of the greatest pitchers in
the country when right, but no mat
ter how great he is, he must obey the
rules Of the club or suffer the con-
sequences.
Donovan has not decided upon his
lineup for the opening day at the
Polo Grounds, but the team that takes
the field, according to Bill, will be as
strong if not stronger than any 9TH
err team in the league.
"I lam puzzled over second base
but this will not be a weak spot, as ]
have Gedeon, Maisel and knapp, the
recruit from Shreveport, to pick
FROM he said. Both Gedeon and
Maisel should have q good season
and from the reports that hear
Knaupp is q capable man"

TO LET HOLDOuT
PHILLIES REMAIN
OUT IN The COLD

Philadelphia, March 2-No further
effort will be made by President
Baker, Of the Phillies. to induce the
hold out players to sign their con-
tracts, andt unless Manager Moran is
able to ga his men into line, the
players will remain idle. George
Whitfield has refused to sign con-
tract at the terms offered him, and
has written the club asking permits
sion to arrange a trade for himself.
This will be denied by President
Baker, and if Whitfield does not sign
with the Phillies he will not play
with any team in organized baseball
this year.
There will be no compromise in~the
case of Whitfield, Niehoff or Kantleh-
ner, trio Of players who are holding
out for more money. It isv cry likely
that Manager Moran will either stop
off at Durham, n. c., on. the way
South next week to see Whitfield, or
order the fleet-footed outfielder to re-
port at st. Petersburg for confer
ence, but no. effort will be made to
get Niehoff. who is kicking against a
reduction of $1,000 in his salary.
Kantlehner, the southpaw obtained
from Pittsburgh last, season. will be
released to the minors, and can either
sign or remain idle. he lefthander
has yet to prove that he can hold
down regular job with a major
league club, and has about lost his
chance of making good for Moran
by holding out.
Catcher Killifer, who was expected
here this week to fix up terms, wired
yesterday that he would not be in
town until next Monday. There is not
much difference between Killifer and
the club, the one condition being on
the number of games Killifer catches
during the season, and this matter
can easily be adjusted. With Paskert.
Ernie Walker and Cravath signed up,
the Phillies will have first class out
field to open the season with if
Whitted refuses to sign, and Moran
has enough extra material on hand
to- make a trade for an outfielder, if
he needs one.
