1914 being with that of B. J. Waf1 CTS the best time ever made by a college sprinter., In the same man. ner when Hammond, of Pennsyl- vania, won the 220-yard dash at Philadelphia in 21 3-5 seconds, his time, the best of the season, was 951 of the existing record for the event.
 Taking each track and field com petition in turn on a similar basis it is quickly seen that the winning athletes were remarkably proficient and capable in their specialties for in no case did they win without strong opposition and in some in stances fractions of seconds and in ches separated first, second and third place men. The highest per centage performance was made by Shea, of the University of Pitts burgh, who captured the intercolleg- fate quarter mile at Franklin Field from a fast entry in AZ 3-5 seconds just one-fifth of a second slower than the record made by "Ted" Meredith at Cambridge ,iR$1916s Shea hereto fore ran on 996 basis as compared with Meredith's performance.
 Poorer showings were made in the high jump and the pole vault as in these events the winners were close to 100 per centage points below the best records. Osborn, of Missouri, was the leading high jumper, win ming the Conference title with leap of feet 11A in. This was but .959 per cent of George Horing's record of 6 fit. 61s in. made at Stanford, Cal. in 1912. Easterday. of Pitts burgh, the best pole vaulter in the two titular meets, cleared the bar at 12 it.. which was .917 of the record vault of R. A. Gardner, of Yale, who set the present mark of 13 it. 1 in, at the l. c. A. A. A. A. games of 1912. The hammer throw was the weakest field effort, to falling 132 points below what might be termed perfection.

NEW YORK, July Biased upon a study of the two big colelge track and field championship meets held this season the conclusion is reached that the entry of the United States into this war has not to date ser iously effected the athletic ability of the various college teams. Notwith- standing the many additional duties that the undergraduates have been called upon to assume, the lack of time for training, small squads and inadequate coaching facilities, the best performances in the title meets. are shown to be .946 percent. perfect.
 In order to arrive at these figures the very best records made by col lege athletes in the thirteen stand ard events, at any time, were used as the standard of perfection and the winning time or distance of the best performances in both the l. c. A. A. A. A. games at Philadelphia and the Conference meet at Chicago, taken as the seasons basis.
 According to this system Howard Drew, of Drake, won the hundred in ten seconds flat at Chicago he ran 959 of perfect, his record of 9 3-5 seconds made at Berkeley, Cal, in

Writes an Interesting Let ter from New York York About New
 War AeropIanes.

George Burford has received the following letter from Lee Naas, for merly of Juneau, but now in the S25th Aero Squadron at Hampstead New York.
 "Old Top. I intend to send you our squadron paper so l might as we'll write a few lines to let you know I am we'll and happy, working every day with our aeroplanes. You needn't worry about the sub marines on this coast. We'll get them sooner or later Our great, big, new aeroplanes are guarding the coast day and night so there is no chance for any enemy planes to get into old New York or an- other nearby city. N
 ''The new planes have four ma chine guns. Two guns in front, fire at every other revolution and are stationary There are two more guns in the back over the observers seat They are the Lewis make and can be fired at any angle. The Ger mans will have hot time fighting our new aeroplanes. You can bet your boots on that,
 eSay George, if you should happen to have any of the daily papers around please send them to me The Empire for instance. It may be small paper compared with the New York papers but take more interest in the Alaska papers--na- tural, isn't it? as4
 Hello to the boys and best wish es to all I know.

"The Wooing ot Princess Pat.

1 [ CfCC0oo 4 SOOs She agreed to marry man she had never seen. It was with a trembling hand that she signed the marriage contract. For it meant that she would have to journey to new country, away from her fath- CT and her brothers.
 She had to pay the penalty of royalty-and of beauty. It had been her girlish charm that had fascinated Duke Eric. And the price of her refusal was-invasion, humiliation, death to- her unpre- pared people. Little wonder that her letters back to her own peo- pie were punctuated with tear drops.
 And when she found that Eric was not the "Iron Duke" that he had been thought to be, but a lov- ing husband, ready to brave any peril for the girl of his desire when she brought the spying Count Ladislad to his just deserts-well, then the Princess Pat reigned over the greatest Kingdom of all-a hap py househould.
