PESKY Bed Bugs

Bedbug (Cimex lectularius). The origin of the name bedbug is un- known, but is supposed to be natur- ally suggested as it is descriptive There are many local names for these parasites, as for illustration, around Boston and Bridgeport they are call ed "Chinches," from Baltimore comes the name Mahogany Flat" in New York they are styled as Red Coats, '' around Pittsburgh they are called 'FPesky evils,'' in Cincinnati and the South 'fNightriders, in St. Louis and Chicago district Crimson RambIers, '' the great West Pilgrims The old saying, '-the bedbug has no teeth, but they get there just the same' is cor rect. Instead of teeth they possess a piercing and sucking beak to draw and rob you of your blood for their own body.
 Bedbugs, no matter what you may call them, or where they came from, science has found a way to rid them if you will use faithfully the new chemical Pesky evils Quietus ''P. D O."

YALE LEADING
 OLD RIVALS IN
 SPRING EVENTS

A summary of all contests in spring sports with Harvard and Princeton shows that Yale holds a decided ad- vantage over both universities, ac- cording to statistics compiled by the Yale Daily News. A majority of the track meets and crew races lave re- suited in Yale victories, while in bas- ketbal Princeton has been outclassed Harvard here has a slight lead
 In a grand total off 45 crew races with Harvard, Yale has been victo- rious in 25. This series of races dates from the first regatta in 1864. Even prior to this date Yale crews had rowed against Harvard irr fnterco1e- giate races, but 1864 marks the first year that the two met in a dual race. In that year and the year following Yale was victorious; however, the next five races went to Harvard. For several seasons thereafter 8. dual race between the universities was not held. But in 1877, when eight-oared crews were used for the first time in place of the foIr-oared shells, Yale was the winner.
 The ensuing season the race was rowed over the New London course for the first time, and the result was Harvard victory. From then or competition between the two unlver- sities was very close, first one win ming and then the other. It was no1 until 1886 that Yale began to take the lead. Starting with that year the Ellis won nine out of the ten following races At this point there ensued period of four years in which the an nlTa1 race was not held, followed by six more consecutive Yale victories HaIvards crews then made a de cided improvement, and from lS0e | until 1913 the Yale crew was consist ently defeated. Since 1913 the Yale crew has been on very even terms with her rival. The 1914 and 1915 race: were won by Yale, while Harvard gained the victory in 1916 and in the i fast time of 25 minutes and 52 sec onds Due to the war no race was scheduled in 1917, and the next seaso1 an informal -two-mne race was wo1 by Harvard.

 What is needed is a laxative containing effective but mild properties. This is best found in Dr. Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin which is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin.

they are to crowd the tailored suit for

RED REGIME RAPED
By SAMUEL G0MPERS

Misunderstanding in 1.-The Fed
erationist," official organ of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Samuel
Gompers condemns Bolshevism com
pletely, finally and for all time"
1T is not necessary" says Mr.. Com
pers. for Americans to know at all
times Just what were the exact condi-
tons in Germany before passing judg
ment on the form of government
existing in Germany. 1t was neces-
sary only to know what was the form
OF government and under what rules
it operated
1--WE do not have to wait for infor-
nation about the form OF government
existing in what is called Soviet Rus
STA. All the information necessary, to
the passing OF judgment on Bolshev-
ism and the system of government and
as state OF society 10 at hand from
sources that are authentic. The plea
of those misguided persons in America
who say Wait for facts before passing
Judgment is nothing more than an ex-
'cuse which it is hoped will gain time
for the Russian experiment and en-
able it to spread TO ether countries"
Quoting from the new Bolshevist
constitution, Mr.. Gompers points out
that while the fifth Pan-Russian con-
gress declares for a dictatorship of
the proletariat and the poorest peas
antry, a great portion OF the peas
antry Is DISTINGUISHED and the largest
Bolshevist estimate of the proletariat
calculates them as only one-ffth OF the
number OF peasants. Even fairly
prosperous working man, by this cal
culation, Mr.. Gompers says, Is not a
proletarian. Bolshevist statistics, he
says. show that the Bolshevist minor
ity does not even represent the masses
Of factory workers in Moscow, the
Bolshevist stronghold.
He quoted as the most direct in
formation a dispatch from Russian
trade unionists to w. A. Appleton,
president of the International Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions, which de-
clares that bolsheviki have split up
the reserve funds of trade unions,
throttled the labor press, killed labor
organizations, split up trades unions
as q class and put down strikes by
force of arms and plentiful execu-
TONS"
I'VE know about Russia. We know
about Bolshevism. We know the pite-
Gus story Of cruelty and intolerance
and we know the autocratic concept
that underlies the minority dictator
ship which is hailed TO the world by
its dupes and advocates as the most
perfect state of society yet devised.
We know about it, and we condemn
it completely, finally and for all time"

"A which the smart shops are featur-
Ing. there are to be found revivals Of
lovely things that pleased the gentle
women of two or three generations ago.
Along with the vogue for shorter
sleeves came the lace mits, to make a
bid for favor, and lace stockings to be
worn with satin slippers, or other
finery in the way of footwear. Natu-

types of fans, like that shown In the

are all enchanting, with a flavor of old

is too narrow. "Pastime clothes" fits
pretty well. They are of several degrees
