New Cedar for Pencils.

The eastern red cedar or juniper is becoming so scarce and valuable that the pencil manufacturers are turning to the California incense cedar for a source of their supply. This incense cedar resembles the eastern red cedar more closely than any other wood. Ii is somewhat lighter in color, however. and a chemical process is being used to stain the wood to resemble eastern red cedar.

SAVE COLLEGE YOUTHS
Guard Boys Against Profession
 alism While Young.
Dean Briggs of Harvard Says Ath- Ietes May Be Protected in Cram mar Schools - Cheering Is
 Termed as Good Thing.

College boys can be saved from pro- fessionalism in the grammar schools, is the idea expressed by Dean Le Baron R. Briggs of Harvard, chairman of the athletic committee of the college, in his warning issued to prospective college athletes against playing for money, in an address on athletics at Harvard. He said:
 ''The ethics of athletics should be like the ethics of anything else. If a boy breaks his amateur standing, he should be quick to say so and face the music I think that any normal Ameri- can boy will play game of baseball wherever and whenever he has the chance. Often they get into semi- professional company, and without car ing much about the stipend they re- ceive, accept money for their services. Few boys realize what may be the fu- ture effects of receiving pay for play ing baseball.
 AS a rule, a boy will keep secret the fact that he has earned money for ball playing. But sometimes-it may be years in the future-the fact is likely to come to the surface at a time when the boy would give many times the original amount if he could only blot out his one slip into professionalism.
 'aThe seriousness of playing for money should be shown to the boy when he is still in the grammar or high schools. Oftentimes they have mar red their amateur records before they even think of coming to college. If advice of this kind is impressed upon the boys early enough, the danger of their being declared professionals and ineligibles later in college life would very likely be obviated.
 There are some phases of baseball, practically accepted as institutions of the game, that are decidedly unsports manlfke. Battling the pitcher is one of these. The incessant talking of the players is another phase that is hardly necessary. The talk does not eneour age
 Cheering is a good thing. It is or ganized and under the control of tht cheer leaders. But even this institu tion ear be misused. as it is in football games, when the cheers may make impossible for the opposing quarter back to make himself heard"

MoIla Bjurstedt.

Bjurstedt is capable of strokes that would pose many of the best male players.
 One of New York's tennis experts recently declared that Miss Bjurstedt could not win from at least the first loo male stars. Paul Treanor. a we'll known ternis player of Washington and one who would be listed among the first 10 players recently declared that iii practice play Miss Bjurstedt frequently took sets from him when he worked at his best speed. Other male players who have played the woman champ have said the same.
 II would be interesting if Miss Blur stedt could be induced t0 tackle the mems singles and try to her rat ing among them. There ny who are sure she would rank ID with in the first 40 and since lAe women's title has been so easy for her she might find it little more exciting.

as it Is, may often be just enough to
