certainty that the craft will be de- l1vered in time for a scheduled date This was one of the difficulties which was overcome by staging the regatta at Annapolis. A number of eight pared racing shells belonging to the Naval Academy and the Baltimore rowing clubs will be available for the invading crews and these will be awarded by lot.
 The various college crew coaches will arrive at Annapolis several days in advance of the races in order to rig the borrowed shells in accordance to the requirements of their respective oarsmen. The members of the crews bringing their own oars, will not reach the scene of the regatta until the day before the contests and will spend Friday afternoon and Saturday morn ing padding about the course and be- coming familiar with the particular racing lane which they secured in the blind draw. There are unlimited ia cilities for staging a big regatta upor the Severn. Two courses are avail able and are known as the inner anG
 
 the former is used as owing te it: protected waters there is little inter ference with the progress of tht races.
 Not since the early seventies ha' there been an intercollegiate boa race with as many as eight entries The nearest approach was the Pough keepsie regatta of 1907 when sever varsity eights finished the four mil row down the Hudson in the follow ing order: Cornell, Columb mbia, Navy Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgetow1
 and Syracuse. Very early in the his
 tory of American college rowin there were regattas, at Saratoga an 1 Springfield in which the entries ra

 many years ago that the rowing rec | ords of some of the colleges whic supported crews in those days, hay l become dim traditions.

NATIONAL PATRIOTIC
 RACES TO BE UNIQUE

New York, March "Details are rapidly being completed for the hold ing of the National Patriotic Regatta on the Severn at Annapolis, Md, Sat urday, May IS, and there are grounds for the belief that the event will be the most remarkable intercollegiate rowing contest in the history of the sport in this country. Not alone in the number of entries but in the con- ditions which will surround the re- gatta does the event stand out as one of unusual importance. In addition the competition may have a far reaching result upon college rowing in years to come when national and international conditions have returned to normal state.
 Seven eastern college crews are vir- ] tually assured for the so-called varsity race and if Syracuse Univers- ity accepts the invitation, as appears ' likely, there will be eight starters for main events. The entry for the freshman contest is not expected tC reach this number but it appears cer- tain that three to five of the frs year combinations will take the water in race preliminary to the varsity battle of cars.
 | No definite decision regarding the distance of the race has been reach ked at the present time but it 4! thought that the main event will b. a two-mile contest. There is a rul at the United States Naval Academ. which limits the Navy crews to race not to exceed one mile, $50 yards The majority of the other institution entered, however, have adopted tn two mile distance as a standard fo all preliminary season races and it thought that the Naval Academ rowing authorities will not object t lengthening the National Patrioti Regatta to two miles, under the cir
 cumstances.
 A feature never before attempte
 upon so large a scale is that ever
 one of the visiting crews will row tn
 races in borrowed shells which will t
 drawn for by lot a day or two befor the race. Owing to the deman
 upon railroad transportation facilitie
 it is almost impossible to ship rat
 ing shell to distant points with an

PRODUCE ONLY INFERTILE
EGGS THIS SUMNER
Sell Male Birds and Save Their Feed.
Other Summer Suggestions.
Eggs Require Special Care
Lice and Mites Flourish.
Chicks Require Shade.

Chicks Require Shade.
During the summer months it is
best to produce only infertile eggs.
This will enable poultry keepers to
sell all the male birds, thus saving
their feed and producing eggs which
will keep better and market to a
greater advantage. To produce the
best market eggs during the summer
all male birds should be disposed Of.
No broody hen should be allowed to
sit on the eggs. Clean nests must be
provided. Eggs must be gathered
twice daily, kept in a cool place and
marketed every few days. Also all
cracked, soiled or misshapen eggs had
better be used at home, and only
large, uniform, clean, fresh eggs sold.
Lice and mites will multiply and
thrive in hot weather. Be on guard.
Spray with per cent solution of
any coaltar disinfectant to kill mites.
Lice can be destroyed entirely by treat
ing hens with sodium flouride. Put the
white powder on in pinches all over
the birds body. Either of above
must be repeated in ten
days.
The little chicks need shade and
protection from the heat. Give them
some shady grounds or build some
frames, cover with old sacks and place
on legs to protect them from the heat
of the sun. They will thrive better.
Be sure they get plenty of fresh
water during the hot days.-P. F.

College, Fort Collins, Colorado.

Iuns Would Cloud Armistiee
Issue-Capitulation Is
Certain.

PARIS. Nov. 8, (5:40 a,m.l--The text
Of the wireless exchanges between Mar
shall Foch and the German high COM
mand shows signs. morning newspaper
declare, that Germany IL still deter
mined to cloud the issue in every pos
sible way, apparently with the object Of
Mt least gaining time, II they can not
gain anything else.
The Matin says,
Berlin and all Germany are .striding
rapidly toward a revolution. The sub
stitution OF a responsible secretary OF
state for Admiral Won ~Ilintze was in
spired by this grave peril, The COM
mission sent by the German govern
ment must have with 1t a man able to
sign Immediately, without referring to
Berlin. An attempt must be made at
any price, in the phrase Of Prince Max
imilian Of Baden, to open negotiations
in favor of peace.
Needless TO say the German govern
ment is the victim of a persistent illu-
sion. Marshal Foch viii refuse to come
out of his province, which Is strictly
military, and he also will certainly re-
fuse any suspension of hostilities until
the armistice Is accepted"
Other commentators write in the
same vein, and invariably conclude by
asserting that German capitulation Is
| not far away.
