General Sporting Notes.

Freddie Welsh recently was accused of
shamming and stalling in recent bout
with Willie Mitchell in Wisconsin and
his penalty will be TO be kept from box
ing in Wisconsin during the coming year,
the maximum penalty for such an Of

Dartmouth college basketball team
came back strong in their game with
Wesleyan the other night and defeated
the Connecticut boys in "a one sided
game by a score of 81 TO IL. Dartmouth
seems to be improving in its passing
game as the season progresses and will
have at the close of the season one of
the best teams in New England.
Pres. David l.. Fultz of the Players
fraternity is still busy denying reports
that players are signed by several clubs.
But he says that the baseball strike will
be shelved in case of a national conflict,
as there will be many graver things to
look after than minor points like play

When Jack Barry, manager OF the Bos-
ton Red Sox, was asked If the reason
that Babe Ruth was working daily in
the cage with him at Holy Cross was in
order to develop a spitball, the new
manager of the Hub team seemed rather
offended and answered that If pitcher
who led the league last season hadn't
enough stuff without trying to develop
an arm killer, he had better qui. the
great national pastime. Barry says that
Ruth was simply at Worcester in order
to keep down his weight, as he has
tendency to add weight to his already
great bulk Barry seems very cheerful
over the prospects of Ruth's success on
the mound during the coming year, and
stated that the young southerner was
in the best physical condition for ball |
player at this time Of the year. Ruth Is /
always a man who takes the best OF |

A Royal Superstition.

Canterbury cathedral, England, like
most Catholic cathedrals, is decorated
with innumerable inches for statues.
At Canterbury series of these inches
is occupied with statues of kings and
queens of England, and there are only
four inches left unoccupied. An old
tradition has 1t that when all the inches
are filled the throne of England will
come to an end. Queen Victoria was
approached with view to a statue of
herself being placed in one of the four
remaining inches, but her late majesty
was aware of the old tradition and re-
fused. One wonders whether in the fu-
ture there will be four monarchs of
England sufficiently Indifferent to SUI
perstition to defy the tradition and al
low their efiigies to fill the unoccupied
spaces.

WASTEFUL AMERICA.
10 FrgssIity Practically Lost Art In
This Country?

We are undoubtedly the most waste
full people In the world. In America
Hrugality is almost lost art. Count
less men and women are actually suf-
fering, both physically and mentally,
because they do not know how to stop
waste in their own homes
Waste is a devastating thing. Ii
goes on under our eyes; it goes on
while we sleep-it il always going on.
There is as much difference between
honest wear and tear and waste as
there is between an honest man and q
thief. We waste our time. our money,
our food.
In a household about IS per cent of
the heat from the furnace is wasted.
Our children take more than they can
eat and waste the rest. But before we
correct them we should look at our
own plates. The amount of gas vast
ed In jets unnecessarily kept burning
In a single day all over the United
States would, If we could compute it,
be staggering indictment of our folly.
The American business man goes on
the principle that it is easier for him
to make more money to pay for the
waste In his home than 1t is to waste"
his time in trying to stop 1t. His wife
is unconsciously influenced by his ex-
ample.
What can we do about it? Some
thing, anyway. We can talk about 1t,
gesticulate about it. think about it and
make up our minds right now to fght
it in every way possible

SH0D WITH SILENCE.
Big Bull Moose Can Traverse q Thick
Forest Without q Sound.

Although taller than an ordinary
horse. Weighing more than half a ton
and adorned with wide spreading ant
lers, the bull moose stalks with ghost
ly silence through thickset forests.
where man can scarcely move without
being betrayed by the loud cracking of
dry twigs. In summer 1t loves low ~
ing, swampy forests interspersed with
shallow lakes and sluggish streams. In
such places it often wades up to its
neck in lake to feed on succulent
water plants and when reaching to the
bottom becomes entirely submerged.
These visits to the water are some
times by day, but usually at night.
especially during the season when the
calves are young and the horns of the
bulls are but partly grown.
Late In the fall, with full grown
antlers. the bulls wander through the
forest looking for their mates, at times
uttering farreaching calls of defiance
to all rivals and occasionally clashing
their horns against the sapiings in exu-
berance of masterful vigor. Other bulls
at times accept the challenge and
hasten to meet the rival for a battle
royal At this season the call of the
COW moose quickly attracts the bulls.
Hunters take advantage of this and by
the call through birch bark
trumpet bring the most aggressive
bulls to their doom.-National Geo
graphic Magazine.

IT WAS TURN ABOUT.
After the Farmer Got Through the
Blacksmith Had His Say.

Blacksmith Had His Say.
While the village blacksmith toiled
manfully over the old farmers plow-
share the owner of the share recounted
at some length the wonderful success
he had had with three filters of pigs
he had marketed that day.
Them pigs were less than eight
months old" the farmer ran on, "and
they brought me 10 cents pound, or
a little more than $500. Why, few
years ago those same pigs would have
brought me only half as much. / tell
you, the farmer is having his harvest
now"
The smith. having finished sharpen
ing the share, handed IL to his custom
er. From a well worn purse the farm
er took two dimes, the usual price for
the Job. and dropped them into the
smiths hand.
You'll have to come again." said the
smith, still holding the money In his
outstretched palm. II charge 80 cents
since the first of the year for sharpen
ing that size plow."
why. how now?" the farmer ex-
claimed testify. That's an outrage.
Why have you raised the price on mer'
ITO buy some of that high priced
pork you were tellin' me about" was
the smiths calm reply.-Youth's CON-
panion.

Volunteers Would Make the
First Force Summoned
to War
CONFUSION
TO COME LATER
Arsenal Told to Buy Suffi-
cient Materials for
$4,000 Men

Washington, Feb T. There are indi'
cations that the question of just what
steps would follow declaration of war
or 4 hostile act arc being carefully
weighed. The most probable course OF
the administration, in the view OF many
officials, would be to summon volunteer
decision as to passing to universal serv-
ice systems await the response to that
call. The war department has at hand a
study of the steps necessary to organize
such volunteer army, made at the time
the situation on the Mexican border were
acute. No officer believes voluntary serv-
ice will supply force of the size the
army general staff has repeatedly de-
clared that adequate defense of the coun-
try requires.
At the request of Secretary Baker the
House military committee wrote into the
annual army appropriation bill special
appropriation for anti-aircraft guns at
arsenals and provision removing all
limit from the number of army general
staff officers, vino may be stationed at
Washington to work out war problems.
The army bin was put into final form in
committee and probably will be called
up in the House some time this week.
Yesterday the House resumed debate on
the naval BILL hoping to pass it during
the day.
The army bill amendment removing
all limit to the number of members of
the general staff who may be brought to
Washington would replace provision in
the present law under which no more
than 80 per cent of them may be sta
toned here. The military committee
takes the position that the present bill
is intended only to carry out 1.-THE ma
tional defense plans normally. and that

CONSCIENCE FUND GROWS.
British Treasury Is Being Considerably
Enriched.

London, Feb. War appears to in
crease largely the amounts OF money re-
ceived by the British treasurys con
science fund" In the old days the aver
age annual contributions were less than
$4,000, but during 1915 and 1916 the to-
tails shot up to about 10000 year.
The new year promises even better, as
more than $4,000 has come in during the
past fortnight.
The largest single contribution received
by the conscience fund last year was
$4,000. Even this payment does not
constitute a record, for in 1914 an en-
velope containing fl4,000 in bank notes
was received by the chancellor of the
exchequer, with a memorandum stating
that it represented profits derived from
smuggling.

LOSE SEPARATE ALLOWANCE.
British Women to Be Punished for Drink
ing to Excess.

London, Feb. Loss of separation al
lowances is the new form of punishment
melted out to soldiers wives who are
found guilty of drinking to excess sec
ond time This action. taken by the
military authorities, was found neces-
sary to curb the appetites for drink of
the wives of soldiers at the front.
Under the newest order the police have
power when soldiers wife is taken to
a police station for drunkenness to de-
tain her till she is sober and dismiss her
with "an appeal to her better nature"
If after a second warning she persists in
"such irregularity of conduct" loss of
the separation allowance ensues.

Riaht Thing TO Contemplate.

Life is so fun OF miseries. minor and
major: they press so close upon US at
every step Of the way. that 1t is hardly
worth while TO call one another's at
tention to their presence. People who
do this are merely dwelling on the OBJ
vious. and the obvious is the one thing
not worth consideration. What we
want TO contemplate is the beauty and
the smoothness Of that well ordered
plan which II is so difficult for us to
discuss.-Agnes Repplier.

The origin of the peacock was in In
dia and Ceylon, and this is why we see
so frequently the bird on the art OBJ
jects of these countries. Peacock
shooting is still a recognized sport in
some parts of India. but its former
popularity as table delicacy has ceas-
ed, though the flesh is white and is
said to resemble a pheasant in flavor.
The eggs are also edible. For the pro-
duction of the feathers these birds are
bred in France, but to a small extent,
as they are difficult to rear. because In
a big area they wander off, and IL In
closed within narrow limits they be-
come mischievous.

TAKE DESERTERs PROPERTY.
French Government Proposes This Pun
ishment for Soldiers.

Paris, Feb. THE property of all de
serters from the French army will be
confseated by the state If the Chamber
OF Deputies concurs in legislation that
has just passed the Senate. The Cham
Der passed law authorizing confiscation
of the property of ehildess deserters,
only. holding that integral confiscation
would be an unmerited hardship upon a
deserter's offspring. 1t decided to de-
prive the deserter of the use OF his prop
erty but not to withhold it from his
children. The Senate refuses to take this
view, considering that punishment in
that form would not be adequate TO the
crime. The Chamber is expected TO ac-
cept the Senate amendment.

CHANGES
IN ROWING EVENT
Poughkeepsie Course Has Been Shortened
and Heightened at Various Times
Since 1895.

! New York, Feb. THE decision of the
Intercollegiate Rowing association to re-
duce the varsity championship race from
four to three miles calls attention to the
! fact that this is but one of several
changes made from time to time in the
| Poughkeepsie program. The history OF
the regatta dates back to 1906 when the
first -four. mile race was staged upon the
Hudson. A year later the two-mile race
for freshman crews was added and in
1898 Columbia, Pennsylvania and Cornell
incorporated the association.
The same season the regatta was
transferred from Poughkeepsie to Sara
toga lake and the length OF the varsity
race cut to three miles. Eighteen hun
bred ninety mine saw the crews back on
the Hudson again, where the four mile
event was restored and two mile race
for junior Fights was substituted for the
varsity four event to be followed three
years later by the change in the main
contest of the regatta.
OF the many changes in the constitu
ton suggested by the executive commit
tee of the United States National Lawn
Tennis association which will be dis
cussed at the annual meeting of that or
ganization, the definition and adoption
OF more stringent amateur rule prom
Uses to be by far the most important.
The meeting will be held in this city
New York on Friday, Feb. o, but on
account of the unusual amount of bust

of the executive committee will take

early on the day set for the annual

able in the face Of such volume of urg-
ent business to devote all the time pos
