The hard scrimmage of the previous
day had left many sore spots, so the
coach decided to timber UP his men by
a protracted signal drill. One of the
Youngsters who is taking his first shot

Jack Ryan, Athlete,
Died of Inhuenza

Jack Ryan, the former Boston Ath-
letic Association distance runner, died
yesterday from Spanish influenza at
Fort Slocum. Ryan came to the local
army camp only one week afo and two
days later was taken i'll with the dis
ease. At no time did he take turn
for the better.
While lacking the finished style of a
champion, Ryan showed a capacity to
cover the ground in fast time. His
grit and stamina was never questioned.
He won the two-mile senior national
indoor championship run at the 22d
Regiment armory last year. However.
his biggest surprise was in 1915 when
he captured tho Baxter mile in the
same armory in the annual winter
games of the New York Athletic Club.

Moss Grows on Old Books.

A French Scientist, DIR. Pierre See,
has recently communicated to the
Academy of Sciences in Paris the re-
suits of original botanical excursions
which he has been making in the H.
braries. BY mean of microscopic ex-
animation of moldy volumes, together
with experiments in propagation, he
has shown that these blemishes are
caused by fungi of low orders. Certain
of these molds secrete a pigment whose
color is characteristic of the species,
and which diffuses through the paper.
More than thirty years ago a Hun
garian b~otanist, Jules Schaarschmidt,
attempted to study the plants met up
on the edges and in the folds of old
bank notes, among the dust and dirt.
He scraped the surface of paper mon
ey in these places and, transferring
the deposit thus secured into a drop
of water placed under a microscope,
he was able TO establish the presence
of an abundant cryptogamic vegeta-
ton. But he pursued his inVestiga-
lions no further than this.

THEIR HEARTS NOT BURIED
Many Instances of Celebrated Men
Who Have Had Chief Organ of
Life Preserved.

A recently proved will contained the
clause that the deceased wished his
heart to be separated from his body
and preserved in spirits"
The request, though a singular one,
is not without precedent. In 1909
Lord Burton made a similar request,
and nine years earlier the Marques
of Butte ordered that his heart should
be conveyed to the Mount of Olives
for burial. This was done by his
widow. Robert Bruce enjoined a sim
liar duty on his retainer Douglas,
who may or may not have acceded
to the demand.
Shelly's heart is supposed to have
been rescued by Trelawney during the
cremation of the poet, but there is in
sufficient evidence on the point. Da-
vid Livingstone's body rests in West
minister abbey, but his heart lies I'M
der a tree in Africa, and the exact
spot is marked by a tall obelisk sur
mounted by a cross, raised by the
Royal Geographical society.

CHEAPER GRADES OF
PAPER MUST Be USED
DonneIley Points Out the Urgent
Necessity for Conservation
of Paper.

MIR. Hoover means to millions
"save food :" "Mr. McAdoo" means
save transportation :" "Mr. Garfield"
means "save fuel" and more recently
"Mr. Donnelley" has come to mean
"save paper"
The writer had occasion 10 talk over
the paper situation with Mr.. Donnel-
ley, and many interesting sidelights in
paper economy were opened up.
When asked regarding the cOnserva-
ton of paper On the part of state print
ers, city printers and other semi-ofi-
cial organizations, Mr.. Donnelley sug-
gested that steps would probably be
taken in the neal future TO curtail the
printing of city manuals until after the
a Mr.. Donnelley also suggested
that eventually Liberty loan commit
tees, fuel commissioners, Red Cross,
department managers and such Organi-
cations as the Y. NJ. G. A., Y. w. c..
A., and K. of G. would be called upon
to observe certain rules for conserving
paper. When asked the scope of the
curtailment necessary he replied that
Gin nearly every case, cheaper grades
Of paper can be used when the litera-
ture was absolutely necessary, and the
circulation should be boiled down and
requisition made for only the number
of prints required" He added that
Gin nearly every case %newsprint paper
was advisable, except when halftones
were used"
"The greatest waste of paper today"
said Mr.. DOnnelley, els on the part of
various organizations and commissions,
and in view of the present paper condi-
tions, all purchasing agents should
keep constantly in mind that a reduc-
ton in paper consumption is necessary,
and advice should be sought regarding
the most economical method of anu
facture, in order to secure the needed
attention"

MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs viii
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified In Stimulation
of Pork Observation-Disclosures
Increase over Pre-
MAJ Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added In car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day In our every action of stimulation
OF hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be In
fats. and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy of the policy
OF stimulated production has built up
In this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply a very large part of
the fat deficiency OF the world. In
beef there must be a shortage In Eu-
rope, due largely TO limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filled by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers OF this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly TO ami
NAL food products Is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the q. S. De
partment of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle of 10,23S,000 head
and 12,441 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January l last.
In this period there was a decrease
In sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
lions are that this decrease will show
an Increase. according to recent re-
ports.
Since January / unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase In hogs of
not less than s per cen and not
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request of the q. s.
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall of 1918 and the spring Of 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,600,-
100000 pounds more of pork products
than We're available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
NAL food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed he2 products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 903, $4,000 pounds,
while for the corresponding months of
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1877, $50, 900, an increase of over 374,-
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter Of
dressed beef showed 1,263, 100000
pounds as against 1,454, 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
September 1, this year.

GREATEST IN OUR HISTORY
Among Men OF Acknowledged Pre-.
eminence George Washington Eas-
lily Stands at the Head.

In the generation that saw the birth
and the earlier years of the republic
five men stand out-George Washing
ton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas
Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and
John Marshall.
Whether or not the last four of
them were great men in the full sense
Of the word is a question on which
people were not agreed in the llfetimes
of these four, and are not agreed to-
day; but every one felt then as every
one feels now that Washington was
great. lie is a world figure.
In mere intellectual power he vas
not superior to the other four. He
had less originality and a less wide
range of capacity than Franklin, less
versatile activity of mind than JEFF
ferson, less brilliant gifts for a con-
structive policy and the exposition
thereof than Hamilton less logical
grasp and penetration Of thought than
Marshall but he rose superior to them
all in a certain massive strength of
character, in a stately dignity, in a
calm firmness of purpose that neither
the smiles nor frowns of fortune could
divert from the course his Judgment
had approved. SO his primacy was
~undisputed then and has remained I'M
disputed ever since.-Youth's Com

Germans Also Kept Him for Days
Without Food, He Says.
The Stars and Stripes, the official
newspaper Of the American expedition
airy force, Identifies the first American
private soldier to escape from prison
in Germany as Frank Savicki, and de-
votes a three-column article TO his ex-
~periences. Savicki, whose home was
in Shenandoah, Pa, is a Russian Pole
by birth and has taken out his first
naturalization papers.
While a prisoner in the hands of the
Germans Savicki spent ten weeks be-
heind the German lines, where he
worked IA hours daily on military
work. He then was sent to a farm.
He often went days without food and
water, and was dubbed by his guards
for picking grass along a roadside to
eat. Finally he was sent TO the prison
camp at Rastatt, where he received
American Red Cross parcels from
Switzerland.
After several weeks in the prison
camp Savicki escaped and got through
the mountains into western Alsace,
where he has rejoined his regiment.

Odd Funera; Customs.

Curious funeral customs fingered
long in Wales and the border coun-
ties. Aubrey tells US of 'the sim
eater" who came to the house of the
dead person and for a meal and a fee
undertook the responsibility of the
guilt of the Departed
In Wales the night before the burial
the friends and neighbors came to
the house, bringing with them a small
piece of meat or bread and some beer,
etc. This night was called "Wyl Nos"
(the watching night. Certain psalms
were sung and Scriptures read, and
when a person entered the room they
knelt before the corpse and repeated
the Lords Prayer.
Pence and halfpence were given to
the poor in place of small rolls of
bread, which was the older custom.
Along the road from the house to the
churchyard at every cross-road the
bier was rested on the ground and the
Lords Prayer repeated; so also on
entering the church.
