year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. George

painful and rather serious accident
yesterday.
The little fellow was descending the

was there, and the child had an empty
glass jar in his hand. The little boy
fell almost the entire length of the
stairs breaking the glass jar and in
fiicting a deep cut across the palm of
his right hand. An artery was cut,
and the child's mother gave first aid.
A nearby physician was summoned,
and the child was taken to the Emer-
gency Hospital, where several stitches
were taken to close the wound Sur
geon Raymond Spear, of the Naval
Academy, and DR.. John Russell, of
Eastport, both of the hospital staff,

.SPORTSMANSHIP
OF THE MIDDIES.
Academy Oarsnen Refused To
Take Cheap Victory Over
Pennsylvania's Eight.
QUAKERS WIN RACES.
Varsity And Freshmen Get The
Middies' Measure In Opening
Acquatic Events On
SATURDAY..

Although Penn swept the Severn
with her varsity and freshman eights
Saturday Dick Glendon's two crews,
in their defeat established a record
for collegiate sportsmanship which
has rarely ever been equalled. The
races were rowed under conditions
which could not we'll have been worse
a stiff wind churning the waters of
the inner course to fearful roughness,
plentfully dotted with ugly whitecaps.
Notwithstanding this, the middies,
abandoning the long established Gus
tom of tossing for the course, volun-
tarily gave their visitors the inner or
more protected course. This was their
first show of craftsmanship with
big IS"
However, it was their second action
which brought the plaudits of the
spectators resounding across the wa
ters with almost universal spontani-
ETY.. The rule is that after the first
fifteen seconds of a race each crew
must look to itself no matter what
happens. Just exactly one minute and
- seconds after the start. Penn's bow
man broke his oar. This practically
gave the race to the sailors who would
hardly have avoided winning against
a crippled boat with dead weight to
carry and an uneven pull of four oars
on one side and three on the other
But the middies wanted no such cheap
victory. They stopped and although
their craft had shot to the fore with
the accident to the Quaker boat, pad
died back to the start An extra oar
was produced and the race started
again.
On the start Penn got a clean get
away and very quickly jumped to the
fore. At the half mile point Penn was
pulling to the fore when Ingram drove
up the stroke in the sailor craft and,
pulling 36 to Penns "a, closed up.
However, Penn responded with
squirt too, and Just at this point the
middies got into some bad water that
caused them a great deal of trouble.
Penn regained the lead and from this
point gradually pulled to the fore,
and was never headed until she cross
ed the line in the slow time of min
utes 5612 seconds. Although this is
slow for the Henley distance of a
mile and five sixteenths it was not
bad. considering the weather condi-
tions Saturday.
The Freshman race was very much
along the same line as the varsity.

DISCUSSING CRUISE.
Superintendent Of Academy In
Washington Today Consult

Rear Admiral Edward w. Eberle,
Superintendent of the Naval Academy,
spent today in Washington, in consul
tation with the authorities at the Ma
val Academy upon a number of mat
ters connected with the Academy.
Among the matters which are being
considered in the consultation are the
plans for the annual cruise of the

tail of vessels to a regular practice

followed last year of putting the Mid
dies aboard the vessels of the regular
war fleet, will be again resorted to.

INDIANS OUTPLAYED
BY NAVY STICKMEN.

The Redskin lacrosse players hit
the dust before the MILDLY stickmen
Saturday Afternoon in hard fought
game played in steady and fearful
ly chilly drizzle of rain As has been
the case in most games this year the
MILDLY attack showed too much stam-
ina and drive and the defense proved
stone wall that could not be pene-
trated. with any degree of certainty.
However, the Indians took comfort
through having broken the record of
the sailors for not having been scored
upon The final score was 8 TO l, the
middies getting both their tallies in
the first half. while the Indians got
one into the net in the second half.

Preparations are being made by the
local Knights of Columbus for the
convention which meets in Annapolis
on May 18th and 18th At recent
meeting different committees were
appointed to look after the comfort
and entertainment of the delegates
which are expected to number about
100.
The housing proposition will be a
hard one for the Annapolis brothers
in looking out for their visiting MEM

unlikely that many will be obliged to
go to Baltimore to spend the night.
War times, too, may interfere with
the entertainment of the visitors since

..o garden can be successful unless
 is properly planned and the soil ,>Icpared to receive the seed.
 Assuming that the land you are going to use has never been culti- valed. the first thing is thoroughiv to clear it of all rubbish, stones and weeds. Rake these off and then spade. If there have been piles of lime. or other building substances on the soil see that these are scat tered over the entire area so that there will not be any one spot which is impreEnated with lime and the like. Spade to a depth of at least foot, or more, and remove all Jumps and rock. If the growing weeds are not too large they may be spaded under and allowed to decay, thereby fertilizing the soil.
 After the first spading the soil should be allowed lo stand so that 1t may become thoroughly aired. Mix in your fertilizer and spade it into the already pulverized earth. This is extremely important.
 When the earth is thoroughly broken up look well to its leveling. If it is located on a hillside let it slope in conformity to the natural drainage of the land. In any section where it is necessary to irrigate, it IS better to make your garden into beds, having trough-like spaces sur sounding and running through the beds in which you can run water when the land becomes dry. Irriga- ion is far superior to sprinkling.
 In starting any plants from seeds. whether vegetables or flowers, two or hree things are necessary for suc-

 This year every family should have potato patch if nothing else. Potatoes will permit you to decrease your consumption of wheat. They are easily grown and require little work.

Cold, Dry Air Healthful.

Cold, dry air is generally considered healthfui and stimulating by medical authorities. Metabolic processes are active, and if the body is properly pro- tected against excessive heat loss, sen- sations of well-being are dominant. There Is little exact physiologic eyi' dence bearing on this condition. Phy- sicians have shown that respiratory in lection of rabbits with bacillus bowl septicus (snutlles) is favored by chill ing the animals after they have beer accustomed to hea.
