MANCHESTER TO
PLAY HOCKEY
DURING WINTER

st. Paul. Dec. 15.-Hockey may be
substituted as a winter sport at Mac
alester college. Already it has been
determined to abandon basketball as
an intercollegiate sport. due to lack
Of a floor and to apparent falling off
of interest in the game, according to
Ralph Thacker, athletic director. A
large rink is being constructed at Mac
alester, however. and the ice game
may be instituted to fill the need of
some sort of winter diversion.

To the Editor of the Grand Forks
Herald:
While serving at the federal jury
here my attention was called to a let
ter from Prof. Ladd. of the state uni
versity, published in your evening
edition of December 4. entitled "a Hot
Roast On Street Car Service" The
motto and aims of the company are
not all. as Dr.. Ladd would seem to
have it and in justice to the commune
ties served and also to the company,
we feel that "a fair statement of the
operating conditions would be bene-
fetal at this time and we trust you
will be as liberal towards the COM
pany as you have been to DR.. Ladd,
and give this explanation a place in
an early. issue of The Herald.
The company furnishes on its week

We're questions to he taken UP iy the
American league clubowners during
the second day of their annual meet

failed to produce definite action on
any questions of the leagues pulicies

business by tonight. Tomorrow a

While the league took no action
yesterday on cutting the player INIT
it is said the owners agreed that there
shall be no reduction. President
Johnson said the sentiment OF h
owners also strongly opposed any
shortening of training trips.
To Collect Tax.
A plan to collect the war lax on
admissions will be announced today.
The method was agreed on yesterday.

will be discussed at today's meeting,
it is said. but the league probably
will taxi no action. Several owners
are said to favor a 14O-game season,
but the National leagues act:an in
retaining the 154-game schedule
makes it improbable that the Ameri-
can will change.
Comiskey Re-elected.
Reelection of Charles Comiskey,
president of the Chicago club, as vice
president of the league and voting
$500 to Comiskey for the pennant was
the only definite action taken at yes

only 500 has been given for the PEN
nant. but increased cost of material
because of the war made the Advance
necessary.
While no trades were made at the
first session, several are said to be
pending. Colonel Jacob Rupert of
the New York club says he is ready
to offer cash inc players for Derril

against President Ball, and each Is

Nature of Sleep.

Investigation by scientists of the na- ture of the sleep of persons in normal health shows that 1t varies according to the daily diet and the different hours at which sleep is begun. Altogether the ideal hour for retiring is 10 o'clock. The sleep of a person going to bed regularly at approximately this time gradually augments in intensity for the space of an hour. It then suddenly be- comes very profound. reaching its max imum intensity at about 80 o'clock. Within five or six minutes from this time 1t has been found that the sleep begins to be less deep. In an hour the sleeper is again in the same condition of slumber as at about 11:15. From this time until after 2 o'clock the rest is steady and light From 2 until 4 it augments, and then it consistently diminishes until it ceases at the GUS tomary time of rising.

MAKING GASES LIQUID.
Knowledge of the "critieaI Tsnpsra
 ture" Solved the Problem.

Knowledge of the Critical Tsmpsra-
 turs" Solved the Problem.
 In regard to the boiling points of liquid, there is an upper limit to the point at which a thing boils-that is. changes to the state of vapOr. 1t Is called the critical temperature. No matter how great a pressure exists on q substance, if 1t is at a temperature greater than its critical it will change to vapor anyhow.
 The ignorance of this point held back the making of liquefed gases such as air. carbon diOxide, etc.-for many years The experimenters tried to liquefy gases at ordinary tempera- lures by enormous pressures, whereas if they had just cooled the gases be- low their critical temperatures before applying the pressure liquefacti0n would have ensued immediately.
 This is the method employed today in making liquid air. The air Is com pressed at first and then allowed to issue from a small orifice, thus ex- banding and cooling; is then pumped back and compressed by the pump. al lowed to go through the orifice again, thus cooling still more, until at last 1t is below the critical temperature, when the compression caused by the pump lique1es it.

DONALD MCMILLAN GOES
 OVER ROUTE OF COOK.
EpEEpopT Sent oe-Tbe r,

FREEPORT, Sept. 28.-The route of Dr. Frederick Cook in his journey toward the north pole was retraced by Donald MacMillan, the explorer, who has returned from the Arctic, accord ing to a statement of MacMillan at the home of relatives here.
 MacMillan said that accompanied by an Eskimo, who travelled with Dr. Cook, he picked up the trail near Cape Thomas Hubbard and followed it to what the Eskimo said was Dr. Cooks farthest north camping place. This camp was about one days march from Cape Thomas Hubbard and from there to the pole would have been a journey of many days, according to MacMillan. From the camp the trail led in Zigzag direction across Els merland.
 MacMillan also interviewed another Eskimo who was with Cook. He said that on a map he had travelled Cook s route across Ellesmerland and that it was identical with the one that had been traversed by MacMillan and the Eskimo.
 Record of Dr. Kane's explorations were found by MacMillan at Rensaler Harbor. In one of Dr. Kane's huts was large piece of paper with sev- eral words cut in it with a knife.

SUBMARINES IN WARFARE.
Only Men of Iron Nsrvss and Quick
 Decision Can Work Them.

oect9ton San WoFk tHeHs
 Tt calls for men of iron nerves and quick decision to man our submarines either In peace or war" writes Frank E. Evans in St Nicholas "Subma- rine experts look upon the factor of nerves as the most important of all, and they have given to 1t the title of calculation.
 "Within the cramped walls that are the home of !he crew are housed the most intricate mechanisms that man has invented for warfare. Outside It's steel walls are mines. great nets of wire. explosives. shells and seaplanes. all devised for it's destyuction. aud the sharp keels of ships that slice through them as knife cuts cheese. The smallest shell can penetrate them. and nets can hold the submarine as help less as a child in the grasp of d giant
 Danger lies everywhere for the ti- ger of the seas. The ocean in which 1t lives is a powder tank that waits hut for spark. Only nerves of iron can cope against such an array of. .ene- mics. The slightest hesitation of Its captain in the face of any of them means the end of his ship and his crew.
 AS one expert has put it. the whole A B c of submarine warfare Is to act at an instants warning with nerves of steel"
