TIGERS PRACTICE STARTING
Prepare for ChiIds Cup Race With
Penn and Columbia on Saturday

Princeton, n. j.. May 11.-Thc
Orange varsity in preparation for the
Childs Cup race with Columbia and the
University of Pennsylvania on Lake
Carnegie Saturday spent yesterday
under DR.. J. Duncan Spacth. who paid
particular attention to the form of the
eight in starting.
The four-mile stretch to the dam at
Kingston was rowed at steady twenty
two, the men giving their attention to
the spacing between strokes and the
synchrOnization of the final leg drive
at the end of the stroke.
At the dam the Orange and the Black
crews lined up for start. Fred
Woolvcrton. of the Orange crew, took
this opportunity to catch a crab on the
four stroke. which tumblcd him out of
his seat at No. 1. WoOlverton was
picked up by the launch. which took
him back to the dock. which has been
built at the dam. and ieinstated him in
his rightful place.
The Orange and Black crews then
got away to second start, this time
moro successful. Much time was spent
in lining up the shells and in getting
the best individual positions for the
start.

At that time IL was explained that
what the English oarsmen had in mind
was n race similar to that held in
connection with the American Expedi-

oarsmen from various parts of Eng.

THIS CURFEW HITS PARENTS ALSO

therefore placed provision in the

sible with the children for violations
of the provisions of the ordinance.
Some Of the parents who have been
In the habit Of permitting their chill
dren to remain away from home until
quite late at night have regarded the
ordinance as of no interest to them,
and as a result when their children
were found running at large after
$3.50 o'clock at night the parents
themselves were required to appear
In court and explain why their chill
dren were not required by the par
ents to be home by $3.50 o'clock.
At one time several parents were In
court on the charge OF permitting
their children to violate the curfew
ordinance, and In each case a small
fine was imposed, with the admonl.
tion that further violations by their
children would subject them to heavier
fines.

Search
for Grain Pests

in wheat alone due to stem rust Is np-
proximately 04.000,0O0 bushels. II is
the theory of some agricultural scien-
lists that the source of the spore
which causes this enormous loss is In
Mexico or perhaps South America and
that it drifts through the air to the
wheat zelda OF Texas, Oklahoma,
Kansas and other states.
AlrpIane Search In Progress.
During the last two weeks an air
plane search for the spores has been
made at high attitudes above San An
tonic. For this purpose an alrplane
from Kelly field is used, with Lieut..
I. II. Booker as pilot and Wallace But
Ter as scientist.
Armed with "spore trap" Mr.. But
Ter has made six exposures at varying
attitudes on ench aerial journey. These
plates nave been sent to the office
Of cereal Investigation for examina-
ton. Thus far no reports have been
given out Of the findings.
Anyone who walks through an oat
field in this part OF the state now will
come out with his shoes covered with
a yellowlsh powder which has brushed
off from the innumerable little yellow
lenves.
This powder any farmer will tell
one is rust, In this case the leaf rust
of oats. Every little yellow spot on
the leaf is a pustule Of len; rust, each
pustule being made up Of from one to
several thousand tiny seed bodies or
spores which are pushed up through
the epldermis of the leaf from a sort
of root structure or mass of threads
which are growing within the leaf.
These threads are very minute and
can be seen only by the aid OF the
microscope. The spores which are
borne in such multitudes on the ends
of little branches from these threads
are also microscopic in size. The pow
der on the shoes after a trip through
the oat field consists Of millions Of
these spores.
Dew Helps.
When one of these spores falls on a
drop Of dew or other moisture on a
leaf of oats 1t soon sends out a little
root-llke projection which, curling
around this way and that. finds Its
way into the breathing pore or open
ing in the epidermis Of the leaf and
so gets into the leaf tissues. In due
time 1t becomes the mass Of threads
which again send up thu mass OF
spores, and so the process Is repeated
with favorable weather conditions
about every two weeks.

Held Guilty With Children in
Violation of Ordinance.
City "Dads" Of South Dakota City
Believe Parents Are Largely to
Blame for Children Running
About Streets at Night.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-The city of Lem
mon, S. D., has one of the most unique
curfew ordinances In existence any
where in the United States. The par
ents are held equally guilty with the
children for violations OF the curfew.
The ordinance provides that boys
and girls under seventeen years Of
age must be on the streets and at
home after 9:30 o'clock each evening.
II they are on the streets or other
public places after that hour they
must be accompanied by their parents
or some authorized guardian.
The city "Dadsv believe that par
ents are largely to blame for their
