BABIES GET MIXED UP
 MOTHER WANTS NEW DEAL

A boy and a girl were born in the Berger sanitarium the same day seven weeks ago. When a nurse brought an infant boy to the bed of Mrs. Edward Rich of Jersey City, she refused to accept the baby, saying the one she had just brought into the world was girl. The other mother accepted the girl. The boy was sent to the Mothers Institute and Mrs. Rich brought suit against the hospi- tai.

NJ. Schwab. it is doubtful if in the
whole Carnegie organization man
was ever promoted from the ranks
who would not have been elected to
that position on q secret ballot Of the
workers themselves. His partners
appear to have picked themselves.
He never criticised. writes Samuel
NJ. Crowther in an article. in System.
based on interviews with Schwab and
other Carnegie partners. When a
mistake had been made the great
ironmaster considered that it was
made and the main thing was to rre-
vent its recurrence. If a man con-
tinuously made mistakes he would
quietly be removed from his position,
but one of those closest to Carnegie
does not recall that this ever hap

The Phantom Fleet of the Arctic

Every winter deserted Ice locked

the wind and current, their broken
masts and crumbling rigging hung
with ghost-like icicles. and their
decks and cabins buried in drifts OF

only accounts available, was caught

Left Erickson Was Here About AID.
1909

More and more people are coming
TO understand that Christopher Co
lumbus was not the discoverer of
Amerlca-that he may have been a
redlscoverer so far as the people of
Central and Southern Europe were
concerned, but he was not the first
discoverer. OF course. our continent
may have been discovered before
Left Erickson discovered it, but Left
was here more than four hundred
years ahead of Columbus 1t has
been established to the satisfaction
or all scholars who have concerned
themselves with this subject that
Left was really and truly here. A re-
cent writer on this matter has said:
The evidence that Left Erickson
came TO the North American coast in
the year 1000 and that he returned to
Europe, making his discovery known
to the world. is clearly authentic
Left is defended against the charge
of being a "barbarouS Morse adven-
turer," though he might have been all
that and also the discoverer of Amer
lea. 1t is maintained that Left rep
resented the highest type Of the
Scandinavian civilization of that
time. which had risen above the dec
adent Roman culture of Southern
Europe. The Sasas say that Left was
a large. powerful man of most i'm
posing bearing. "a man of sagacity
and just in all things" Before his
discovery Of America he had been
converted to the Christian faith and
had been commissioned by King Olaf
to proclaim the faith to the people of
Greenland. which the Scandinavians
had settled a considerable period be-
fore that time.
1t is quite reasonable to believe
that the Norsemen who had settled
in Greenland had made voyages to
America in advance of Left Ericks-
son. but that Left was here in 1000
or nearly 500 years before Columbus,
there is no doubt

Coburn Eleven Came Though
Saturday Without Injuries

Football practice was resumed this
afternoon with no injuries reported
from Saturdays encounter The first
squad was in full attendance. Coach
Haines sent them through practice
session with intensive signal drill The
punters, Shanahan and Ingraham we're
given hard workout. Ingraham gets
some long kicks away during practice
but in games does not seem to get
them out so good. He seems to get
hurried and as in last Saturdays game
two OF his kicks did not go over the
fifteen yard stripe. Shanahan does not
boot the ball as far as Ingraham but
is more consistent and gets them away
better.
The team lined VI 80 same as It
did for the game Sat.:iday only Nc
Loud was playing one end instead of
Thibodeau. There were a few new
plays added to the present list, includ-
ing the forward pass. Saturday Maine
outplayed Coburn in this stage OF the
game. 1t is the idea of the coach to
bolster up the team in the passing
game. The backfcld was given severe

Colby Up Against Some
Hard Practice for Saturday

Unless the football team shows n
great improvement between now and
Saturday, the hopes of the Blue and
Gray warriors will be doomed to a
terrible landslide. in the opinion of
many of the local devotees of the
gridiron. The showing of the eleven
al Lewiston was far from promising,
the Snow Gridsters showing the poor
est kind of a fight in both parts of
the game.
Coach Snow gave the squad a long
talk on the field yesterday afternoon
and while it is not known what he
he'd to say, it is surmised that he was
far from pleased with the showing of
bis charges Saturday afternoon. From
stray remarks that he has made, he
seems to think that if the team had
done as he instructed them. the Gar
net would never have scored their
score via the aerial route
The usual light workout on the
field yesterday found all the squad,
with the exception of Sullivan, out
and in uniform ready for the days
work The linemen were given con-
siderable warming up work while all
of the backs tried their toe at boot
ing the ball. The two squads were
then sent through the many forma-
tons and an entirely new set of sig
nails were used as it is thought that
the old signals were fairly public
property.
One fact that was vividly brought
to the front in the game last Satur-
day when the Garnet general called
all the Colby plays that were reeled
off. 1t points out that without a
doubt that the Bates team We're fur
