| The management Of the cold frame
differs materially from that of the hot
bed. The season becomes warmer and
the sash may be left entirely open the
greater part Of the day. However, the
gardner must watch for cold. cloudy
days, when the sash will need to be
left on. Ventilation should be given
each day. There is usually danger of
sudden drops in the temperature dur
ing the first days of spring. The
grower should see that the cover of the
cold frame is always put on at night
during this season of the year. When
frost is feared add additional cover to
the frame.
Hardening OF the Plants.
1t is necessary to gradually harden
off the tomato plant in the cold frames
to prepare it for field conditions. If
they are properly hardened and handl-
ed in transferring, they Shouts receive
no check in growth. Begin 20 harden
the plants from two to three weeks
before they are set in the field. This
is done by leaving the cold frame UNI
covered late each day and having the
sash raised to admit night air. AS the
nights become more congenial the
cover may be left off entirely When
thus handled they are in good condi-
ton for setting in the field

spect. the excerpt reprinted being Sc
lected by w. l.. Clark, the leading to-
mato grower of this district:
Transplanting Seedlings.
A new hot bed should be made ready
for receiving the seedlings, which
should be transplanted about three
weeks from the time the seed Is
planted. They can now stand from
three to four inches apart. See that
conditions are congenial in the new
bed before the transfer is made. Dig
up the seedlings with as much of the
roots and soil as possible. A trowel is
very convenient for this The plants
are usually set with dibber and
should be placed in the ground almost
to the seed leaf Firm the soil well
about the roots. This is important.
Water the plants Immediately after
setting.
The management of this bed is prac-
tically the same as the seed bed. The
weather at this time becomes warmer,
so the plants may be exposed more
from day to day. During the process
of transplanting see that the plants
are not exposed to the cold or drying
winds. The amount of hot bed space
for receiving the Seeding will be
about four times as great as the seed
bed.
Cold Frames.
A cold frame differs mainly from a
hot bed in that it has no bottom heat.
1t should be placed near the hot bed,
where the same careful attention can
be given In most parts of the North

winds prevail to bank up the outside
of the cold frame with coarse material
such as strawy manure.
Transferring Plants to Cold Frame.
Just before the plants begin to
crowd in the second hot bed, shift
them to the cold frame. The soil
should be of a good composition and
plants may be set in this six inches

Fort Meyer gridders, will be the at

ians field at the Shipyard. Humph-
reys will lineup with a much Improved
team than that which opposed the Vir-

In an earlier engagement the Vir-

sixty minutes to a scoreless tie and
both teams will put forth their best
efforts to wipe out all doubts as to

at stake on this game.
All "dyed in the wool" fans who are

HARVARD'S GREAT
FOOTBALL SYSTEM

New York, Nov. 14.-Much is heard
in the days of advanced football about
the Harvard system" Coaches and
the general run of fans are greatly III
terested in the system which Percy
Haughton introduced at Cambridge, by
which the Crimson was elevated to a
position it is now of perhaps the great
est of all football institutions.
"The Harvard system is nothing
but perfect instruction in funGa-
mentals, handling the ball and follow
ing the ball." prominent coach who
knows much about the system said this
season. :.
"Did YOU ever see a Harvard back
tumble a ball and did you ever see
an opposing player tumble when there
weren't two or three Crimson sweaters
in a position to fall on the ball!'
another coach gave as his theory.
Harvard has system OF coaching
that wastes not a minute from the
time the squad is called out for the
first process of elimination until the
season is over. Every man is given
most thorough instruction in his in
dividual duties and the veteran line
men are all acting coaches. in that
they help green material next to them.
It is said that Harvard has records
extending back years on what every
Quarterback has done under certain
circumstances. Quarterback material
is picked with the brain equipment OF
the candidate as the first consldcra-
ton. When a regular varsity quarter
is selected he is given the records OF
his predecessors with the criticism OF
their Judgment and it is up to him to
get the benefit of all their experiences,
The Harvard idea is primarily to
get good quarterback and protect
him at all costs. In the majority OF
cases a Harvard quarterback will
make a fair catch on punt when he
might have run it back fifteen or
twenty wards. The idea is to keep
his head clear, so that he will have
possession of all his faculties when
the important moment came. "a
To illustrate the point. In the Har-
vard-Centre game last year. 30 Nc
Millin. the Centre quarterback. was
severally criticized for several obvious
pieces of bad Judgment. After the
game he said he didn't remember a
thing for about ten minutes OF play
after being felled by terrific tackle
Even though it has become almost a
matter of form TO expect Harvard
quarter to make fair catches, yet the
opposition cannot depend on it. Las'
wear in the Harvard-Yale game. Buel'
made fair catches on every punt IN ms
territory. Late in the game, the Yale
forwards were slow getting down I'M
der the punt to save themselves a
fruitless run and a pull up for fair
catch. Buell. fooled them and ran do

Reorganization Of

Mccormick Attacks
Senate Seniority
MAY Want To Select Farm-LabOr
Members For Some Chalrman-
ships Or May Seek Control.
tBy United Press.J

tBy United Press.l
Washington, Nov. l4.--POlItical
Washington was guessing today
about the real purpose behind let
ter from Senator Medill Mccormick,
H.. to Senator Lodge, Mass, repub-
hcan leader Of the Senate, suggest
ing that the time-hOnored seniority
rule in selection Of committee chair
men be abrogated.
This rule is one of the senate's
fetishes, and instances in which Il
has been Gisregarded are very few,
1t makes length of service rather
than any other qualification the alb
Solute rule as to selection OF COMMIT
tee chairmen, no matter how lmport'
ant the committee
Three views were taken OF Motor
mick's letter. As Mccormick was
enroute to Europe today, he could
not be reached for an explanation.
These views were:
THAT it was an attempted as
sault on the leadership OF Senator
Lodge
2-That ~ was q progressive move
10 gain control Of the new senate.
through election of farm bloc ana
progressive members to important
cmmittee ch&irmanship. %
3-That il was designed to keep
LaFollette. Borah and other leading
progressives who are regarded by
most republicans as radicals. from
getting important chairmanships to
which they might soon be entitled a..
While the third view may be as
sgned by Mccormick as his reason,
the second view was generally be-
Heved to be the real one. If the old
seniority rule could be abrogated,
the strong new farmer-prOgreSs
coalition in the next senate might
capture highly important places: In
any event. there would be a better
opportunity than now exists. On the
other hand, it was pOited cut, ii the
farm blocers and prOgressives are
strong enough to elect COMMITTEES
chairmeu over the opposition of the
heirs apparent under the seniority
rule they would be strong enough to
do so whether the seniority rule was
in force or not. Fer the seniority
rule exists only 50 long as a ma
jority Is fer it.
Lodges leadership does not de-,
pend on seniority He could be
ouSted if a majority Of his republican
colleagues wanted 10 replace him.
McCormick'S real purpose in writ
ing the letter would seem to have
been to give notice that in the new
congress there will be a fight on the
seniority idea, and an attempt to
establish a new rule in selecting the
heads of the great committees which
deal with vital legislation

FIRM GETS WRIT OF ERROR

Richmond. Nov. 14.-Rinehart &
Dennis Co. Inc, general contractors.
of Charlottesville, were today allowed
q writ of error in the Virginia SUI
preme Court in a case appealed from
the Corporation Court or that city in
which j. j. Brown was awarded judy
ment of $1,000. Mr.. Brown sued for
personal injuries by reason of fall
from a building on which he was
working for the contracting firm.
A violent wind and hail storm came
up. and when he started to come down
he found that the ladder had been
blown from its accustomed place. He
then proceeded to let himself down to
the roof of kitchen, and in doing so
fell and broke his hip. The accident
occurred at Camp Lee in 1917. In NJ
lowing the writ of error the Supreme
Court merely agreed to review the case
on It's merits.
