Walt Mason's Daily Poem,
THE wINDFEsT.

Good is demanded will be stranded;
we ought 10 be sensible now; but we are
ting and swearing and sweating and raising the
duce of a row. BE patient and quiet, don't kick
up riot, the oracle tells in vain; get down TO
crocheting and out the braying and prove the
world you The world has gone batty and
nations catty, they're filled with rancor in
tense; and it's the duty of every galooty set
an example of sense" The orace's pleading but lit
tie we're needing, we're milling around in
tracks: the oracle thunders and shows us blum
ders. and begs to get down to tacks. And still
we are spelling kicking the ceiling and cussing
and rantins around, and wildly cavorting and
whooping and snorting. and paving acres of
ground. The weikin is shaking from noise
making. we've denied it up with roarsi the
times will be dizzy until get busy, get back
our usual chores-Copyright by George Matthew

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
DEPRESSION IN THE MARKET

New York, Dec. 9.-The more om- inous developments in the coal short age. a 2 per cent. rate for call money and further crumbling of interna- tional exchange caused another re- action of prices on the stock market today.
 From various industrial and rail- way centers came further advices tell ing of the paralyzing effects of the countrywide fuel restrictions, these in number of instances resulting in complete suspension of business.
 The 12 per cent money rate came in final dealings, following an opening quotation of ' per cent. In baning circles the furry was regarded as a temporary affair but the advances was probably the most potent factor in the sharp reversal of. the last hour.
 Dealers in exchange accepted to- days additional slump in bills on London, Paris and other important centers as matter of course, but private cables from across the water alluded with greater earnestness and apprehension to the adverse move- ment.
 Dealings during the forenoon and mid session denoted the mixed views of traders, many stocks of the same class or variety moving in contrary directions. although motors and oils were heavy throughout.
 Rails reflected support at intervals but eased with general list later, their , moderate reaction being accompanied by the publication of several adverse statements of earnings.
 Sugars and some of the distinctive food issues were steady to firm most of the time and U. s tee .lSoffered oc- , casional resistance to pressure, al though tomorrow's statement of No. vember tonnage is not expected tc throw much light on existing in. dustrial conditions. Sales amounted to 1000, 900 shares.
 :! Bonds were heavy on the lowel trend of speculative rails. the Liberty and Victory issues also easing slight ly. Total sales. par value, aggregated l $26,S5O,0Oo. Old U. s. bonds were un changed on call.

CRESENTs MEET FIRST DEFEAT OF SEASON

todal, and University of Virginia will again bring the southern collegiate type Of game to the stadium.
 The schedule now beng drafted is of nine dates, and will be withheld sevl eral weeks until all details are con-
 firmed. but word from several of the colleges which are to appear on 1t makes possible a virtually authorita- tive list.
 The first date, Sept. 25. will be a double header for the Harvard squad. The opponents. however. are not quite
 certain because of the reported un-
 willingness of Bowdoin to take part in
 two-game program. The second date, when Harvard will meet University of
 Maine, also may be made a double one
 if Maine consents. Notre Dame, it is understood, will play here Oct. g, with Williams college appearing a week later. Center college has been assigned the important mid season game on Oct. 23, which University of Illinois declined. Virginia will comee to Cambridge on Oct. 30, the week before Harvard an l nual fixture with Princeton The Princeton Harvard game at the sta
 dium on Nov. will come, as usual. two weeks before the game with Yale, to be played at New Haven. Brown. an early season opponent of Harvard this year. will be advanced to fill the date between the Princeton and Yale games.
 Comparing the schedule of the mast l season with that proposed for 1920 Bates. Boston college. Colby Spring l field college and Tufts. all New Eng land institutions, are dropped.

BOXING NOTES,

The 10 round bout between Jimmy
 Wilde the British hyweight and Jack Sharkey of New York to be held in
 Milwaukee December 9th is expected
 to draw a s30.00O house. At last the
 little fellows seem to be coming into
 their own. For years third rate heavy
 weights have been able to draw bigger crcds and bigger purses than the Dan-
 tams and featherweights of the first class who when they enter the ring
 provide more live fighting and display more skill than the big fellows were ever known to exhibit.
 Mike O'Dowd. who recently so de-
 cisiVely defeated Mike Gibbons that the latter has announced his purpose of retiring from the ring will probably be matched with Augie Rather at Tulsa Okla. on New Years day, ac- cordinr to information given out by John J. Reisler. promoter of the ! !O'DoWd Gibbons bout. The bout will be of 15 rounds duration with the mid dleweight title at stake.

WRIGHT To'BE PENN
 ROWING MEMBER FOR YEARS.


 Joe Wright, the famous Canadian rowing coach. signed a three year con tract Monday to coach the University of Pennsylvania crews. Previous to this year Wright has worked at the Red and Blue institution on one year contracts, but his work has met with such universal favor among Penn men that it was thought better to tie him up on a three year contract than risk the possibility of losing him to rival college.
 Wright went to Penn in 1916, and since that time has rapidly placed the Red and Blue in the front rank in intercollegiate rowing. In 1918 ana last spring Wright was runner up for the intercollegiate title. In 1916 at Poughkeepsie Wright thrilled the. row ing world by changing his crews for the varsity race. sending his junior eight to the post for the big race and his varsity in the junior race. Wright wifi return to this city the first of the year and start the oarsmen on the in- door machines.
