Prof. c. Edward Beckett, Of the Y.
N. c. A, who is president of the cir
cult, looks for most prosperous year
The late start will not hamper tho
efforts of the teams" said Prot
Beckett today. Il look for renewed
interest now that the war is over,
and it would not be surprising to
see an even better brand of basket
ball than that shown last season.
THE fact that George Washington
has decided to put a team on the
floor has saved the situation, and
given all OF the teams a chance to
make their schedules good. Few
games were in prospect out of the
league by reason of the curtailment
Of travel on the railroads.
THE renewed interest in the inde-
pendent and scholastic leagues is
taken to mean that the collegiate
tossers will have large followipgs,"
said the "Y" man.
Catholic University will probably
play George Washington and Gallau-
det will face the Maryland State { IL
lege lads on Saturday night Of next
week. according to prese-. plans.
Gallaudet appears to have the edge
on the other teams as Coach Hughes
bunch has been working out for
month, and has won three games and
lost two. Gallaudet seems to have
a good basket shooting combination,

Peace Terms for Austria Are Pre-
pared by the Allied Dele
gates at Paris.
GERMANS STILL PROTESTING
Ebert and Scheidcmann Insist Treaty
Must Not Be Signed, and Allies
Get Ready for Further Action
-kolchak Plans to Crush
Soviet Armies.
BY EDWARD w. PlcKARD.

The allied peace delegates at Paris
were occupied last week mainly in pre-
pairing to hand out to Austria what is
coming to her, and in listening to the
walls, official and unofficial, of the
Germans over the treaty that awaits
their signature.
Austria's delegates, headed by Chan
cellor Karl Renner, were received and
housed at ST. German. They were
treated with good deal more cordial
ity than were the Germans at Yer
sailles, and were given quarters in
pleasant villas that overlook the Seine
valley and Paris. with no high fences
or sentries TO restrict their move
ments. In return, the Austrians APP
pcared in good humor and hopeful OF
lenient treatment, and seemed to APP
preciate the good nature displayed by
the cosmopolitan crowd of journalists
and others that met them. Chancel-
lor Renner spoke in German but ex-
planned that this was because he was
unable to speak French, his courtesy
in this contrasting with the behavior
of Count Won Brockdorff RantZau at
Versailles. In responding to the
greetings of the allies representatives
he said: 81 hope | may go away with
as joyful heart as l bring" Other
members of the delegation intimated,
none too strongly, that they would not
be able to sign the treaty unless 1t
provided for the union of German Boz
hernia and German Tyrol with Ger
many. 1t is assumed they will accept
the pact even If that annexation is
not permitted.

Rock That Floats.

James E. Grieve Of Prospect, Jack
son county, Ore, has a formation OF
rock on his property which will float.
Mr.. Grieve claims that floating rock
is not uncommon in his vicinity. the
supposition being that 1t is the rock
from the eruption when Crater lake
was formed. that body of water being
about 80 miles from his property. The
rock resembles pumice stone ana
pieces of it can be seen floating around
on the ponds. Regarding this strange
rock Mr.. Grieve says:
ITO appreciate this enormous erup
ton one should visit Crater Lake
park and the surrounding country,
which is being made more accessible
and attractive every year by extern
sive road and trail work under direc-
ton Of the war department"

LOATH TO GIVE UP ARM0R
Mobiles Wore Il as Gala Costume Long
After It Was of Any Value
as Protection.

Until the sixteenth century armor de-
veloped in a logical way; its forms
were governed by the necessities or
war, changes in it were the result OF
practical experience and actual expert
ment on the battlefield-not decided
upon in the Office Of the minister OF
war.
After the sixteenth century 1t be-
came fantastic and meaningless. a gala
costume rather than a harness; the
greatest captains, opposed its use, but
the mobiles chung to 1t as mark OF
distinction.
After 1t was made bulletproof 1t be-
came so enormously heavy that at the
end of the sixteenth century Lanone
complained that gentlemen of thirty
were already deformed by the weight
of their armor.
In spite of the huge armors Of Henry
VIII, of Anthony Of Burgundy and OF
some others, the average size Of the
modern man is greater than that Of the
soldier Of the middle ages and the re-
naissance, If we can Judge from the
armors preserved in the museums OF
England and the Continent, which are.
with few exceptions, small and mar
row, especially in the leg and thigh
pieces.

FOUNDATION FOR DAIRY HERD
With Grade Calves From Good
Producers.

ment of Agriculture.)
Young calves from good dairy cows
are satisfactory foundation for start.
ing dairy herd. Ordinarily the meth
cd advocated is to grade up common
cows with pure-bred bull, requiring
a number of years of patient selection
and breeding-a period sometimes dis
couraging to an energetic dairyman.
Frequently this causes farmers, who
want results too quickly, to change
breeds.
1t is expensive to buy mature dairy
cows that are free from disease, that
have good breeding and show desirable
productive ability. Often, especially in
new dairy sections, farmer buys ma
ture stock without being properly pre-
pared to care for it, and many dis
couragements follow. To great ex-
tent most of this difficulty can be
avoided by buying good grade heifer
calves from herds of well-established
milk production. In some dairy re-
gions it is common practice to sell
the heifer calves for veal. These calves,
while only grades, are usually from
good producing ancestors and carry
a productive ability much greater than
common cows.
The buying of such calves to start
dairy herds has been tried in several
states with excellent results. Of
course the cost of small calves is much
less than mature animals and the dam
ger of disease is also greatly lessened.
In general, shipping is simpler. Calves
may be shipped by express at from two
to four weeks old, depending upon the
distance, with good results, if they are
properly cared for upon arrival
In buying it is important to deal
only with dairymen. Do not buy from
men who purchase calves at stock
yards to ship back to the farmers, be-
cause it is not always possible to de-
termine the breeding of the calves, and
calves that are physically unfit may be
shipped.
In some cases shipments are made
c. o. D., which enables the buyer to
see the calves before paying for them.
A man who sells calves in this way
makes special effort to please his

SOLUTION OF FOOD PROBLEM
Dairymen Should Make What They
Have Go Further-Not Necessary
to Slaughter Cows.

Dairymen can solve the feed short
ge by the same method that people
using to solve the food shortage I:
hey can make what they have so
further. If food economics can result
In feeding more people, the same feed
can feed more cows.
No one advocates the killing of part
of the people in order to provide an
abundance of food for the rest. 1t is
not more necessary to kill large num-
bers of dairy cows because of short
feed supply. Such action, moreover,
taken in the face of our national need
for dairy products, would be calam-
ltouS.

FORCING GROWTH OF PLANTS
Intelligence Of Man IL Enabling Him
to Become Master of Nature and
the Seasons.

Dy degrees man is becoming mas
tricity are being pressed into his serv-
ice, and he can already force on plant
growth SO rapidly that he can beat
the ordinary process of Nature by
many weeks.
One method is to treat seed, be-
fore planting it, with small doses Of
high-tension electricity. In 1910 trial
was made of this method near Burn
ham-on- Crouch, in Essex, England.
Spring wheat is usually sown in March,
or April. On this occasion the wheat
of which the seed had been treated
by this special process, was not sown
until July 10. 1t was up in five days..
and on September 16 was in ear. 1t
was reaped II weeks from the time 1t
was sown, whereas the ordinary time
is 10 weeks.
Another method of forcing crops is
to run a current of electricity through
overhead wires. In this way the yield
of oats and beans has been nearly dou-
bled. Experiments tried last year at
Lincluden Mains farm in Dumfries-
shire. were practically successful.
third method is to use artificial light,
either electric or, better still, acety-
lene. Plants are thus made to grow
by night as well as by day. Cabbages
and lettuce are easily forced in this
way, but other plants such as carrots.
seem to resent it. Flowers bloom ear
lier under artificial light, and are more

cially in sparsely settled sections, that
more attention be given to perfecting
satisfactory system of distributing
dairy calves to farmers.
Advantages in buying small calves
as foundation for dairy herd are
summarized as follows:
Small investment.
Better breeding
Greater freedom from disease.
In case of accident loss Is smaller.
Raising calves stimulates interest
and in consequence causes better care
of live stock.
A satisfactory herd can be estab-
lished more rapidly than by grading
