St. Bernard Still Same
After a Thousand Years

strictly adheres to is never TO breed
off inferior parents, and he is as par
ticular about the points of the bitch
as Of the dog. Nor does he ever show
a dog or bitch till they are fully
matured. No such thing as profit ever
enters into the Rupert patronage Of
the st. Bernards, for he never sells
any. Whenever ne happens TO have an
overstocked kennel he gives some
away.
A year ago or so he presented Will
lam c. Reick with Lady Alberta, a
subsequent winner of minor prizes.
For several years Mr.. Reick figured
among the foremost fanciers Of the
breed, and years ago, when he import
ed the champion Sir Bedivere, the in
cident helped greatly toward the popu-
larization of the st. Bernard in Amer
lea.
A Competent Manager
The Rupert kennels are in charge
Of NJ. II. Thiman, competent man
ager, and man who understands
everything about the St. Bernards. He
is firm believer in freedom, plenty
of exercise. and the proper kind Of
feeding in the developmnt of tn dogs.

morose half-savage manner.
If properly reared the St. Bernard is
obedient to the slightest command and
makes reliable. intelligent and affec-
tionate companion. Strength. courage,
stamina. sagacity and keenness Of scent
are the dogs main characteristics, and
these added to mental and moral quail

Of the dog we're more commendable

National Association of Col.
lege Athletes to Fix Stand
ard for War Period

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 22.-lt is
I believed at Yale that the annual meet
/ ing of the National Association of Col
/ lege Athletes, which will be held in
/ New York city late next week, will be
the most important and will evoke the
most radical recommendations for the
| conduct of future sports at American
colleges since the revolutionary foot
ball reform was inaugurated by that
association exactly eleven years ago.
The task of placing American col
/ lege athletics on a war basis has been
put in the hands of the association. as
far as recommendation and executive
direction of athletics in the colleges
and universities of the country are con-
cerned, and the decision OF the associa-
tion on the general question OF athletic
reorganization because of war condi-
/ tions is awaited throughout the eoun-
/ try.
Instead of individual action by Amer
lean universities in the conduct OF attn
/ letics during The remainder OF the wal
action BY the association has been
reqarded as the determining factor
throughout the United States. and its
recommendation will form the basis
upon which American colleges and uni
yersities will act generally at once.
Message from President
The fact that the association itself
expects a definite message from Pres
ident Wilson and Secretaries Baker
and Daniels at the coming conference
has caused colleges and universities
throughout the country to defer TAX
ing any definite stand individually. 1t
is known at Yale that the general at
titude Of the association toward its
coming session is that the convention
will be, to a large degree, a ccntinu-
ance of the special meeting of athletic
directors or colleges from all parts Of
the country in Washington shortly af
ter the war began. At this time
wide diversity OF opinions sprang up
regarding the advisability Of conduct
ing athletics during the war.
Although the line drawn was not
clearly defined. in general il was
marked by a separation between the
East and the West. The Eastern uni
versities generally felt that the con-
duet of athletics should be decidedly
modified. while the war was in prog
ress, out Of necessity, if for no other
reason. All of the athletes of Yale,
Harvard and Princeton Immediately
donned the army khaki or the navy
blue Of Uncle Sam as soon as war was
declared, and the carrying out Of deh
mite schedules during the last fall ha.
been impossible, except for freshman
athletics. at the three universities.
The other leading Eastern universi-
ties. Pennsylvania and Cornell, have
greatly modified their athletic pro-
, grammes. but their football and other
teams have been a mere shadow Of the

An additional advance OF about 80
points, making rally OF slightly more
than a cent pound from the recent
low level, was followed by contrac-
ton in the volume Of business and
moderate reactions in the cotton mar
ket yesterday. II looked as though
the scattering short interest aecumu-
lated on the decline from the high
records of early last week had pretty

selling was also in evidence on the
advance, but the setback was attrib-
uted chiefly to realizing. January

of ~ points. December closed un-

tions showing net gains Of some l6

ports, private returns indicate a gin
ming Of 10,115,000 bales for the first
December period, with a probability
that the census figures on Thursday
will run some 10000 to 10000 bales
heavier.
no change was reported in the gem

Boy Kidnapped
And Blackjacked
Arthur Davis Found in Perth
Amboy-Had Identified
Burglars Last Week

Arthur Davis, fourteen years old,
identified two men in General Sessions
last week as burglars who had bound
and gagged him. The TWO men were ac-
quilted. Yesterday afternoon the boy
was blackjacked and kidnapped from IN
front of his home, at 7l6 Tenth Ave
nue.. by two men in taXicab. Last
night he was found bound. gagged and
beaten in Perth Amboy, y. j.
Il was about . o'clock, witness
told the police last night, that the boy
was trying 10 coax snowballs out OF
the miry Tenth Avenue snow, when
taxicsb came to a sudden stop at the
curb beside him. Two men popped out
of the vehicle. One of them clapped
hand over the boys mouth. The other
brought down a blackjack on his head.
Before the dszed bystsnders came to
their senses the men had dragged the
boy into the taxi and were speeding
down Tenth Avenue.
About the time Arthur's father, Will
lam Davis, a superintendent for the
Consolidated Gas Company, began to
worry about his soD there came tele-
phone message from the Perth Amboy
police. Early IN the evening arthur
had been found, his hands and feet
dashed and his mouth stopped with
cloth that had been soaked in iodine,
lying in a lane leading to one Of the
more pretentious residences. His head
was lacerated.
Removed to a hospital the boy had
managed to tell a part Of the story
and had constantly reiterated the name
OF one OF the two men acquitted of the
burglary charge.
Arthur's first adventure occurred on
November II. and was also a daylight
affair. He was left by his aunt. Mrs.
Joseph Noonan. to watch the baby in
her home at 49, West Forty-eighth
Street. At 10:30 in the morning or
whereabouts the bolt yielded to a single
thrust Of a jimmy and two men en-.
tered. They gagged the boy and tied
him hand and foot. Then they plum
dered the apartment.
