DRAFT RULES FOR YACHTING
Conditions Considerably Altered From
Those in Force for Years-EVery
Boat Must Start

Chairman William G. Carleton and
the members of the regatta commit
tee of the Corinthian Yacht club OF
Boston, have formulated a draft OF
the new racing rules for the Upton
cup. This new cup will arrive from
London early in the spring. The con-
ditions have been in force for the last
five years.
The rule allowing a boat to stay
out Of five races and practically pick
her weather has been abolished. Every
boat racing must start in all but two
races of the season, and, if she does
not, she will be figured as a starter.
In order to stay out of the two races
allowed by the rules, "a hours NOTICE
must be given the committee. Inc
owner cannot change his mind after
giving notice.
Every boat In the class must starr
or be counted as a starter in the last
two races of the season.

New York.-The swift trail over

York some time ago announcing she
was from the wilds of Alaska, seeking
the delights of civilization, slowed up
materially a week later when mick"

He said that his daughter, Louise,

What A JEWELRY firm did
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
Lands.

s. Joseph & Sons, of Des Moines,
Iowa are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm it.
With the assistance Of the Canadian
Government Agent, at DeS Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
pion, Alberta. They put 240 acres of
land in wheat, and in writing to Mr..
Hewitt, the Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one of the mem
bers of the firm says:
II have much pleasure in advising
you that on our farm five miles east
of Champion, in the Province of AL
berta, Canada, this year (1916 we har-
vested and threshed 10000 bushels of
wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average Of Al bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
of the wheat was No. l Northern,
worth at Champion approximately
S1.S5 per bushel, making Il total return
Of $19,610, or an average of $S1.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we
are extremely well pleased with our
lands"
1t might not be uninteresting to read
the report of G. A. Wright of Milo,
Iowa, who bought 160 acres at Cham
piOn, Alberta, for $1,000 in December.
1915. He stubbled in the whole lot of
it, and threshed 4,4S7 bushels Grade
No. z Northern.
Mr.. Wright, being a thorough bust
ness man, gives the cost of work, and
the amount realized. These figures
show that after paying for his land
and cost of operation he had $2,472.67
left.

GOLF GAINS IN FAVOR
Sport Growing in Popularity at
Pacific Coast Colleges.
intercollegiate Championship Match on
Links Is Likely-FaciIities for@In
door Putting and Driving Elk
ercises Installed.

inc rapidly growing favor which
golf is meeting in the Pacific coast col
leges leads many to the belief that 1t
will be only matter of time before
the sport will be officially recognized
here as one of the minor varsity &C.
tiyities, as it is among eastern col.
leges.
With this recognition, accorded the
game, it is not unlikely that it will be
included in the conference schedules
and au intercollegiate golf champion
ship be the result.
Unusual interest is being taken in
the game at the University of Cali
fornia at Berkeley. To meet the de-
m2nds of students who want that form
Of recreation facilities for indoor put
ting and driving exercise and practice
have been installed in Harmon gymna-
,, SUM. Putting nets, to help beginners
at the game, have been installed. Dur
ing the winter months they will be
used for driving and putting practice.
Arrangements have been made with
the Claremont Country club whereby
the club links may be used by candi-
! dates for a varsity golf teaGa. Putting
green's and short-hole courses will be
laid out on the campus and will be
ready for use when spring weather
makes outdoor work practical.
What rank the game will get at the
university has not yet been deter
mined. Recently the University Of
Oregon elevated it to major rank. 1t is
a major sport in all the English and
Scotch universities.
About forty men are out for golf at
the Berkeley institution. The depart
ment Of physical education recently
made it possible to substitute golf for
regular gymnasium work. Plans are
on foot among the golfers to organize
a team to meet Stanford, Washington,
| Oregon and club teams.

wore. So she took her savings, $2,OOo,
and left for New York, where her
dreams were realized, until Nick Sa-
chen. her father, of Kansas City, broke
them up.
Miss Sachen was the 1917 sensation
in New York. She "put it across" as
she phrased it, on newspapers, society,
and the jaded jongleurs of the cab
arets who welcomed her novelty and
innocence as they would a fresh sum-
mer breeze.
They had laughed joyously when
Miss Sachen, "the girl who grew up
with sledge dogs and could mush the
trail like an Eskimo" told them:
"Town Stacks Up Pretty Well"
Daddy promised me 1 should see
the States when I grew up. This
town stacks up pretty well beside
Kuyukuk."
Queen of the SHOWS" the writer's
dubbed the wondering young girl as
they opened her eyes to the marvels
of New York.
"What impresses you most in New
York;" a reporter had asked her.
1.-THE women, of course" she had
replied. "The vast number of pretty
women who look like fairy pictures.

do they not rouge in Alaskan" she
was asked.
"Why paint roses in your cheeks
when you can put them there by bet

frozen north" replied. "Out with us,
now, when a woman wants a touch Of
red in her cheeks she goes out be-
hind the dog sledge and takes mush
down the trail"
Pioneers in Alaska, she told the city
nabobS who clustered about her and
invited her to their homes, had given
her the name of Queen" when she
was born.
Her name began to travel, and finally
one day an immigrant Austrian jani-

the paper.

harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your childs stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

given today saves sick child tomor
row.

of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

Danes and Swedes, Already introduced
to Soccer, Now Wish to Take
Up American Game.

The Danes and the Swedes want to
learn something about our old ball
game. They already have been intro
duced to soccer. Secretary Tom Cahill
of the Soccer association now proposes
to take combination team of soccer
and baseball players abroad.
The plan would be to play both
games, but just where the baseballers
would get their opponents is not clear,
unless enough Americans can be dug
up in Sweden and Denmark to form
a team.
The plan is to make the trip during
the coming summer. Most of the real
opponents of baseball will be busy at
that time.

Gardner got greater distance out OF

he was hitting low ball with long

! UMPIRE DECLARED HIM SAFE
Peculiar Play Pulled off in Tacoma.
Seattle Game-Arbiter Makes
Novel Decision.

Fred McMullin, the young infielder
who has been making spirited bid for
place on the White Sox team, was
playing for Tacoma at Seattle few
years ago. He came in from third
on the dead run and slid for the plate.
McMullin knew he didn't touch it, but
he was afraid to slide back as the
catcher had the ball in his hand. The
umpire also knew he didn't score, but
said nothing, as that was not his bust
ness.
Fred busted off his uniform and
stalked nonchalantly to the Tacoma
bench.
''He wasn't safe, was he?" demanded
Cadman, who was catching for Seattle.
The umpire shook his head. At this,
Cadman, holding the ball in his hand,
dashed over to the Tacoma bench to
tag McMullin. Fred waited until he
all but reached his end Of the bench,
and then slid oror TO the other end.
Cadman followed him, and as he did
so slipped on some mud and fell to his
knees. McMullin leaped up from his
seat, sprinted to the plate, and touched
it.
The umpire called him safe.
