How the Horsefy Bites,

When horsefy alights on q horse
he walks around looking for a tender
spot, and this he finds with his hairy
feelers. Then he cuts hole with the
scissors on each side Of his central tu.
bular tongue.
An ordinary lead pencil cannot be

end Of this tongue-like extension Of the
horsefy, says the Popular Science
Monthly. Nature has provided it with
barbed, piercing derrick ropes" The
fly inserts these sharp points into the
horse and then pulls back on them
The barbs hold, and the fly's tongue II
forced down into the horses flesh. But

It Is not necessary for these elaborate
tools to be taken from the sheath In
which they are placed within the
tongue or proboscis. The blood is
sucked mp by the tongue In practically
the same way as By other forms Of dies.

An urgent appeal to the women of

Washington in a statement disclosing
that the Red Cross has been obliged to
buy half million machine-made
sweaters to meet immediate demands.
1T is imperative that all of the
sweaters, wristlets and socks that can
possibly be made by the women of
the country should be turned into the
supply department at the earliest pos
sible date. With the cold weather
coming on, the demand for sweaters
especially, has been beyond the ca
pacity of all our resources to supply"

navy WITHOUT GAME
FOR next SATURDAY
Has Great Eleven, But No One To
Play In Place OF Army
MAY CLOSE SEASON TOMORROW
Pitt, Georgia Tech, Penn. Dartmouth
And Others Decline Invitations
To Visit Annauolis.

With probably the best football team
in its history, the Navy has no one to
play. With undoubtedly the best
coach they ever had. the Middies, who
have made the greatest scoring rec
ord of the year. will have no oppor-
tunity to show their skill unless one
of the big elevens of the country sud
denly comes forward in answer to
the sweeping challenge fired broad
cast by these wards of Uncle Sam.
And unless some opponent is
found for November "a, the Sailors.
who rolled up more points than any
team that ever represented the Ma
val Academy, will be compelled to
pack their moleskins in moth balls to-
morrow night and call 1t a season.
Such an ending to such a remarkably
successful campaign would be sad,
very sad, indeed.
The country has been searched, high
and low, for an eleven of prominence
that would come to Annapolissa week
from tomorrow and permit the Mid
dies to try their skill against a foe
worthy of their steel, and now the
last hope rests in the hands of Michi-
gan University. If Hurry-up Yost
will come through at the eleventh
hour he will be hero.
Dartmouth, Colgate, Penn, Georgia
Tech and even Pitt have declined to
visit Annapolis to test the strength of
the sailors. Many other names could
be placed on that same list, but those
mentioned are among the most prom
inent colleges now in the football
spotlight.
For long while the Navy hoped
that it would be permitted to play its
annual game with the Army, but the
hope faded. Army and Navy can play
other teams, but cannot play each
other, the very year they could fea-
ture the football season.
As a money-maker this contest
would run second to none and there
are many war charities which could
use the money to great advantage.
But there is to be no game. SO the
Navy, after holding November "a open
for a long while, decided to seek some
other opponent-some team that
would visit Annapolis.
Dartmouth was willing to meet the
Navy in New York, but if the Middies
could have obtained permission to
travel to Manhattan they would have
arranged for game with the Army
Dartmouth was unwilling to come to
Annapolis and so were other teams.
Gilmour Dobie, the miracle man
who is coaching the Navy, is point
ing his charges for what he probably
fears will be the last battle of the sea-
son. They will meet Villa Nova to-
morrow afternoon, and there is just
one interest feature to the contest
Villa Nova was defeated by the Army,
by the score of 21 to z, and the Mid
dies hope to prove their superiority
over the Cadets by rolling up more
points Already the Middies believe
they have proved themselves entitled
to the honors of the service by beat
ing the Carlisle Indians 61 to O, while
the Cadets scored only % points
against the Redskins.
