WHY THERE ARE FEW
FOUR-LEAF CLOVERS

Many, many years ago. when there
were all four-leaf clovers, the pretty
little fairies were all very happy, be-
cause they ha received a wonderful
gift from Mother Nature, which was a
great number of beautiful four-leaf
clovers. said that all OF the fairies
were happy; that is. until the wicked
goblins tried TO destroy their gift.
The COLLINS. jealous Of this, put their
heads together in search Of a plan TO
destroy the fairies gift AZ length
they decided upon method by which
they might destroy the fairies happi-
ness
At midnight while the fairies were
having a ball the mischievous COLLINS
noiselessly stole into the fairies gar
dens, where they started at their de-
structive task Their plan was as fol-
lows To pluck petal from each
clover, thus leaving three in place OF
four leaves, and 1t wa sat this work
that the COLLINS were about 10 carry
out their mean idea. They worked
until daybreak, and then departed,
JeeilnB that tHeg hau iuiheu thV
fairies lucky present. The next
morning. when the fairies went TO
their garden to look at their clovers,
a dreadful sight met their eyes. AT
length. however. one fairy discovered
enc four-leaf clover. At this the
fairies rejoiced. and gave a party in
honor of the fairy who had found the
one four-leaf clover.
This, my friends, is why four-leaf
clovers are considered lucky, and why
we rejoice so much upon finding one,
as did the fairies.

DEMOCRACY NEEDED HERE

A petty German prince committed
suicide recently, and his successor
proclaimed himself to his subjects in
this fashion:
I'VE. Friedrich. by the grace of God,
Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, Prince
of wenden, Schwerin, and Ratzburg,
Count of Schwerin, Lord of Rostock
(and so forth, have undertaken the
government and control of the grand
duchy.
in graciously condescending to
notify the population of this import
ant procedure, we command all those
who dwell in the grand-duchy, officials,
vassals. servitors. and persons of all
rank, station, and position, to show us
unquestioning silent obedience in
whatever it may please us graciously
to condescend to undertake or 10 or
der, and to conduct themselves at all
times and in all circumstances as be-
seems faithful subjects and servitors
in their attitude towards their lord
and master, who will brook no opposi-
ton to his gracious and condescending
rule and authority"
Mecklenburg needs little democ-
racy, evidently. This would be laugh
able, if the blood of so many millions
slain did not demonstrate what a

YOU CAV SERVE

You may not be able to carry and
fire a gun, but your country needs
your service now. You may not even
be able to dig a trench, but you will
either serve or handicap your country
by what you do or do not do
America in the present crisis needs
health as much as anything else. 1t
needs strong, enduring soldiers for Of
tense and defence. 1t needs healthy
civil population, first, to back up the
fighting men, and, second, to keep
from robbing the soldiers of the sery-
ices to which they are entitled.
Every needlessly sick individual in
effect offers comfort and assistance to
the enemy. He is incapacitated from
rendering his own bit of service. In
addition, he takes the attention of 9TH
ers who, except for his need, might be
striking blow for our country or
against the enemy.
We and our allies need great in
crease in food supplies. A sick man,
woman, or child cannot produce it in
field, garden, or mill. Our soldiers
and sailors will need medical and
nursing attendants, many of whom
will be kept at home to care for sick
and dependent people who have no
moral right in war or peace times to
be sick. Civilians will consume drugs
that were better employed in saving
the lives and restoring the health of
the country's defenders.
There is not a man, woman, or child
who cannot, and is not called upon to
make some sacrifice for his country.
The least he can do is to give up the
personal liberty of being sick need

GARBAGE is VALUABLE

| Urging greater care in the handling
\ of garbage, the Food Administration
addresses the following to the house
keeper
Don't waste 2r lurn your garbage.
1t is valuable.
One Ton of Garbage Contains
Sufficient glycerine for the explo-
sive charge of fourteen -millimeter
shells.
Sufficient fatty acid for the manu-
facture of one hundred 12-ounce cakes
of soap.
Sufficient fertilizer elements to grow
eight bushels of wheat
A score of other materials valuable
in munition making
If Used as Hog Feed it Will Produce
One hundred pounds of good, firm,
first quality pork
Can you afford to destroy these val
liable products when your government
needs them to help win the war?
The United States Food Administra-
ton urges every housewife be
watchful over what goes into the garb-
age pail; to put less in and take more
out But what must go into the pail
should be kept separate from other
household refuse, so that it can be
utilized either for making munitions
or for hog feed. Do not permit brok-
en- glass, crockery, monograph needles
or other foreign substance to get into
the garbage pail.
Remember, garbage is valuable.

took the wash of the Cornell shell
for a mile and a half in their dual
race over the mile-and-seven-eig
course on Carnegie lake today and
then nosed out the Ithacans with a
display of gameness that has seldom
been witnessed here. The time was
nine minutes. fifty-one seconds. Cor

Prior to the Varsity event the Cor
nell freshman eight completely out
rowed the Princeton first-year men
over the same course, crossing the
line four lengths ahead Of the Orange
and Black crew.
Cornell appeared to have the varsity
regatta cinched during the greater
part Of the race. Selling the lead
at the outset. the Ithacans held it
most of the distance. After the mile
and-a-half post had been passed. how
ever. the Tigers. rowing a steady 80.
almost in unison with their opponents,
began to creep up on the Cornell
shell. which was a length ahead.
Raising their stroke. the Princeton
oarsmen were on even terms, with
the finish line 100 yards away. They
then pulled slowly away from the
Ithacans and won the race by a third
OF a length.
This is the first time Princeton has
defeated Cornell in modern rowing
history. the last Tiger victory being

Barring the possibility of rain
causing a cancellation. there will be
no respite for the abbreviated box
corps from this time until June 1s,

a series of four games in Cleveland

four games each with the Browns
in st. Louis and the White Sox in

terfere seriously with the conduct
Of major league base ball. at least for
this season. The impression prevails
that when the time comes the new
ruling will be construed as regard
ing base ball players employed as
public entertainers in the same class
with actors during the period of the

likely. however. that diamond ath-
