Hays gave win-the- war talk, and in
witness of what his party was doing
in Washington, he said that "for all
members of both houses of congress
present and voting on all war meas

76 per cent and the democrats "a per
cent of the total war support"
SIN this the greatest of all crises,

eminent in other hands, becomes the
war party of the nation, insisting on
the right of a full participation, Civ
ing to the last Of our blood and our
treasure, standing immovably against
an inconclusive peace.
''The fact that the party in power
refused to prepare for war in 1914
and 1915 has not lessened the support
by republicans in congress who so
strongly urged it.
"The republican party stands today
for three things:
"First, to use every possible means
to win the war now.
Second, for peace with victory,
and never peace by compromise bar

Why They Stall

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 25.-."Until We
are absolved from charges of
laying down to the White Sox
we cannot sign to play baseball
anywhere, say Johnny Latan
and Del Pratt. Both players are
suing Phil Ball for slander. each
asking $4,000. The case is due
to come up within a few days.
IF it were true" says Pratt,
1.-The magnates wouldn't let US
sign. We'd be blacklisted for all
time, and the public knows it. But
We are going to shove that lie
down Phil Balls throat, that's
all. Our personal regulations
are as good as his. As soon as
we get a clean bill Of health we'll
sign up. but not before"

And so State, under Byrd's direction.

the matter. Maryland State has drop

College Park is tickIed to death.
II might be supposed that States
athletes were overJoyed at losing
games or that some, with evil intent.
were disposed to wish the Staters hard
luck. As a matter OF fact the en-.
trance of Maryland State College in

been noted in athletic ranks in
years ...-.-

At a meeting last spring the Dis

posed. Athletic Director and Coach
II. c. Byrd was asked TO put a team
on the floor. II was pointed out that
Gallaudet, Catholic University, and
George Washington were ready, and
that a fourth team was necessary for
the good OF the circuit.

game. Several good scores were
hung up. Webb. of the winners, made

Of water. Every gas has certain vapor
tension whether it is the atmosphere or
whether it is Illuminating gas of any kind,
and gas will take up a certain amount of
moisture mechanically. That depends upon
the pressure and the temperature. Gas
leaves the gas-holder saturated with cer-
tain amount of this vapor the same as the
atmosphere.
when it comes in contact with a cooler
spot the moisture is naturally drawn down,
the as it would be from the con-
densers' in the gas works. If it is cold
enough at the spot where the pipe is ex-
posed the water freezes. Further supplies
of gas coming along supply further guam
titles of that aqueous vapor, and that
freezes, and if the cold snap is long enough
there is danger of the entire pipe being
frozen.
$50 far as your gas company is con.
cerned, every precaution is taken to pro.
tect service pipes against freezing where
they run from the main in the street to
your building. Wouldn't it be we'll for you
to see to it now that your building pipes
are in good condition to withstand the
coming assaults of bitter winter weather ?"
