He Should Explain
The New York Commercial of Jan

When II says:
The President could forestaH at
tempts to make political capital out
of this part of his address to Con-
gress if he could explain that he re-
ferred to a belligernt boycott OF Ger

and not to the revision of the Tariff.
While we know of no attempt to
make political capital out of the
recommendation or removal, so far

would in plain terms explain just

Football cam
AT Columbia
Gets a Shock
Shaw, Kraus and Robinson
Will Soon Be Sent to
Officers School
By Charles A. Tavlor

Football at Columbia received q
stunning blow yesterday, when it was
learned that Shaw, the veteran half
back and kraus and Robinson, the two
first string tackles. mad been placed
on the list of those eligible for officers
training schools and might be trans
ferred from the Morningside Heights
institution at any moment. The weak
ness of tho line has been one Of the
greatest worries of Head Coach Daw-
son and now he is in & worse quandary
than ever.
1t is understood that Columbia will
be called upon very soon to furnish
one hundred men for officers schools,
and as football players possess the at
tributes OF physique and leadership
demanded for this particular line. it
Is expected that some more holes will
be shot into the team before the be-
lated season gets we'll under way.
Dawson started yesterday afternoon
to prepare as best he could against any
contingency that mieht arise by shift
ing several members Of the second
team to the varsity for try-outs.
Among those who showed promise of
filling the bill were Herman at guard
ana kennlnger at tackle.
kenninger started the season at
centre on the first squad, but was sent
to the same position on the second
team when Fargo reported. Kenninger

1T tackle than at his original post.
The practice yesterday included a
ong drill for the lnemen in funda-
mentals, which was followed by Il pro
racted punting session in which
Houlahan was forced to get away his
kicks with the opposing eleven chary-
'ng through at him. Few of his punts
we're blocked, and the longer he worked
he better the distance he attained.
This same player also DISTINGUISHED
himself in the brief scrimmage that
ended the practice by his consistently
hard line plunging. Another man to
stand out in the scrimmaging was

PLAN ACTIVE WAR ON PESTS
West Indian Sugar Planters Seek Aid
Of the Lizard and 4 Species
Of Fungus Growth.

Lizard farming and fungus cultiva-
ton are means adopted in the West
Indies to protect the sugar industry.
It has been discovered that the frog
hopper (Thomaspis sacharina), go
called on account Of its great leaping
powers, is the greatest pest Of the
sagar cane, and that it multiplies by
thousands on single plants, sucking
the sap from roots and leaves. In the
last three or four years two remedies
have been developed. F. W. Urich,
West Indian entomologist, has DEM
onstrated that lizards devious great
quantities of the immature hoppers,
and J. B. Rorer, United States my
cologist. has shown that spores Of the
fungus known as "green muscardine"
are peculiarly fatal to the adults. AS
part Of the work to save the cane,
war has been begun in Trinidad, where
the investigation has been made,
against the rapacious mongoos, which
has made lizards scarce. In addition,
hundreds Of lizards are collected in a
protective enclosure, and are encour-
aged to multiply under favoring condi-
tons Of sand banks for burrows, with
an abundance Of food and water. The
fungus is grown in test-tube cabinets,
which produce spores that are busted
over the cane fields by special distrib-
uting machines.

SAVE CANNED GOODS
/. FOR USE IN WINTER
SAYS FOOD OFFICIAL

1T is not patriotic at this time to
use canned goods, which make up the
nations food reserve, when there 10.
all over the state. great, immediate
supply of fresh green vegetables.
Such IL the latest stand taken by
the U. s. Food Administration against
the thoughtless opening OF canned
goods when fresh vegetables are ON
the market in such abundance. With
the safety and stability Of Americas
food supply more or less dependent
upon tho reserve supply OF canned
goods, every tin that is opened unnec-

With which the United States - plan
ming to feed her soldiers during the
coming winter.
The food supply 10 not the only rea-
son given by the Food Administration
for restraining from using canned food
at this time OF the year. Perhaps the
more serious angle 10 the fact that the
tin shortage is becoming rapidly acute.
and unless the supply is shortly en-
hanced. there viii not be sufficient TIN
containers to preserve the enormous
crops expected this season. Because OF
this, 1t is necessary that every house
wife, hotel manager and consumer
realise the need Of practicins the ut
most economy where the use OF t1nnod
foods IL concerned.
