"LoWER FOOD PRICES oR

UNLESS something Is done

In this country. Man must live,

UNLESS something really ear

'Prickly Heat

Some day you will ask
yourself. Why did refuse
to use Tyree's Antiseptio
Powder for these tormenting
cases of Poison Oak, Prickly
Heat and Mosquito Bites? The
person who does not use
Tyree's Antiseptio Powder
freely in these cases fails In
two ways, neglect and fore
sight. For the effect OF
Tyree's Antiseptic Powder in
these cases Is almost marvel
GUS. One or two tablespoons
full dissolved in a basin of
water invariably relieves you
while you are applying it
When used in the same dilu-
tons its application Is very
pleasant and noncauterizing.
For thirty years Tyree's
Antiseptic Powder has been
the accepted standard for per-
sonal hygiene. In small, me-
dunn and large sizes-for sale
by all drug and department
stores.

English Lenses Superior.

When photography commenced to play it's great part in the war. it was found that the German ma tie lenses would do the work of pietaring from above far better than British made lenses But the English opticians set to work, and in short time they pro duced lenses that beat the German product fair and square Captured aere-photographie apparatus during the latter part of the war showed that the lenses were inferior in quality 10 those made in Britain. No German made lens has yet been found that would picture barbed wire entangle- meht from a height of three miles. but the British product would. and very often did.

Latest reports indicate that the 3,0eo miles of government railways carry annually more than 25,000.o00 passen- gers as total of 1000, ,0oe;000 miles. Thirty seven per cent of the receipts of the government railways come from the passenger service. On five of the lines the passenger revenues exceed those from transportation of goods, Ninety-f1ve per cent of the. passenger traffic Is third-class at an average fare of one cent a mile, which means 8 large amount of travel by the poorer classes.

Columbia Abandons
All Hockey Plans
For 1919 Season

Columbia's athletic authorities
reached several important decisions
yesterday with reference to the con-
duct Of minor indoor sports during the
present season. 1t was determined
that in view OF numerous difficulties
it would be impossible to put hockey
team on the ice. But it was decided to
go ahead with wrestling in spite of
the fact that there will be no inter
collegiate league. In swimming the
plans for the schedule have been COM
pleted and call for full series of
meets with league teams and short
New England trip.
Hockey activities have been sus-
pended for the year because it was
found impossible 10 make satisfactory
gements for practice or the play
ing OF games. A committee headed BY
A. L. Walker investigated the situa-
ton and found chat it would be impos-
sible to practice either at Iceland or
the Brooklyn Ice Palace while the out
door rinks adjacent to the university

impracticable to construct an outdoor
rink on South Field, although plans
for that had been drawn.
In wrestling there viii be no league
competitions. and as yet no matches
have been arranged with any league
teams. One match has been definitely
screduled with the Navy for February

Brown and Yale. A meet with Prince

has been set.

meets with Yale, Princeton and Penn

DESTROYER Wilkes
Saved $50 Lives
And Sank U-Boat
Member of ''Sims's Deep Sea
Circus," Now in Drydock,
Cruised 10000 Miles in
Hunt for Foe Submarines

In drydock. with the Roman. Allen.
Sampson and Davis, fellow members of
Sims Deepsea Circus" moored near
oy awaiting their turn, the slender
little destroyer Wilkes is UNDERGOING
repairs at the Brooklyn Navy Yard af-
ter having cruised 10000 miles hunting
U-boats.
Only two members of the American
destroyer tlotilla, which had its head
quarters at Queenstown. wear the gold
star indicating the sinking of sub
marine These are the Tucker and the
RAINING, and the latter, in addition to
sinking a U-boat. captured it's crew.
But the Wilkes like it's fellows, has
two gold chevrons on the second fun
mel IN recognition of a year at the
game of hunting down the German un-
der-sea pirates and the hard work Of
conveying troop and munition ships.
Saved Scores of Lives
1t was while at the latter job last
June that the Wilkes. under Comman-
der A. 5. Hickey, with Lieutenant H.
A. Spanagel as executive officer, saved
the lives of scores of men from the
torpedoed British ship Patia.
The Patia was steaming thirteen
knots about p. m. when torpedo
struck aft. The ship was laden with
cordlte. 1here was an explosion which
killed large number of men on board
and set fire to the cargo, flames from
which shot higher than the masts.
Men, guns, boats all tumbled into
the sea as the steamship rose in air
and sank stern first. There were more
than 500 men in the water. The Patia
also had on board depth bombs which
were not set on safety, and as her
shattered hulk reached depth of sew
enty-tivefeet below the surface these
bombs began to explode, throwing up
geysers of water, lifeboats and strug-
Cling men. Through this welter the
Wilkes picked its way and saved $50 Of
the Patia's crew.
How She Got U-Boat
The last encounter of the Wilkes
with a submarine was on October 20,
1918, when the destroyer was assisting
in the convoy of forty ships, including
the big freighter Minnesota. "A peri
scope appeared to starboard of the con-
voy, remained visible A few seconds
and then disappeared.
The Wilkes dashed to the spot and
dropped depth bombs. AS a deception
the submarine commander discharged
an oil torpedo. The Wilkes continued
dropping depth charges, however, un-
til debris came to the surface, indicat-
ing damage to the undersea boat. Then
Commander Hickey found that in tne
fog the destroyer had lost her bear
ings and had to send wireless to
Queenstown, "Where am ?"
