HEATING PLANT DISABLED

About 1890 A. M. Saturday the boiler
at the heating plant of the Capital City
Press, located in the Golden Fleece Build
ing, was discovered acting strangely and
upon investigation it was found that the
water was fast leaking out. By quick
work of Hiram Warren and Merton Niles
(who discovered the trouble) the fire was
drawn and the boiler allowed to cool.
When it was found it was unsafe therefore
was dismautled and stoves put into com
mission in the printing plant and the
front rooms in the Armory. The re-
placement of the heating plant is under
Consideration but no doubt will be re-
placed at an early date.

A new method of keeping hay without curing it in the sun has been worked out in Switzerland The newly moved hay is stored on metal sheets in sheets in silos of 400 feet capacity. Another metal sheet closes the top of the silo and the two Sheets are connected in an electric circuit so an alternating current of from 200 to 500 volts is passed thru the grass between them This enables the grass to be preserved in it's natural state until required. It can be cut & stored Irrespective of weather conditions and it contains twice the nutriment of an equal quan- tity of hay. Exchange.

In East; Tigers Champions
For Weew
By Special Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-After an
other turbulent week, in which form
went astrav, Princeton and Cornell as
sisted the football upset in the East.
The Tigers seem to be the champions
for week, at least They have won
several games and lost none and their
victories were more glorious than those
of Cornell, who has won six games over
less illustrious opponents.
West Virginia, figured generally as
an eastern team, has also won six
games without being defeated. In the
undefeated class also are w. and J. and
the fine Army eleven, but w. and j.
has one tie game with Carnegie Tech
and the Army has engaged in two no
decision contests with Yale and Notre
Dame
Princeton has one more game be
tween a first claim on the eastern
championship and the elimination Of
one of the best seasons the Tigers have
had in years. That one game is with
Yale next Saturday and the Els have
developed to a point where they are
meat for no one.
California, which overwhelmed
Washington, 45 to 7, leads the country
in scoring with 321 points. Cornell,
with 2s2 points, is the leading scoring
eleven in the east: Centre leads in the
south, with 254 and Iowa leads in the
western conference with 15o.

PEBBLE PICKING IS
BUSINESS ON COAST

Along the California coast you will
find them at times-the pebble pick
|ers. Eespecially after the high tides
have receded, you can see them search
ing along the beach, STOPPING here
|and there to pick up white TINT
pebble and drop it into the sack they
carry. Pebble picking is their trade
their vocation 1t affords them a
living, for there is a regular market
for the hard, white flint stones, and
the ocean is kind enough to distribute
the articles along the beach at frequent
intervals.
Flint pebbles are in demand by the
cement mills of the far west for use
nj the giant grinding mills. After the
raw material from which portland ce-
ment is made has been crushed to
small fragments it is placed IN the
tube mills for pulverizing.
In these mills it is ground so fine
that So per cent of it can pass through
sieve finer than silk. To produce this
fineness the flint pebbles are called
on. From II to Is tons of the peb-
bes, varying from the size of an egg
to that of BASEBALL, are placed IN the
big tube mill, along with. the crushed
clay and limestone used in making
cement As the mil. revolves, the
hard pebbles climb partly up the side
of the tube, drop down on the raw ma
terial mass, and slowly but surely
grind it into a fine powder.
/ In most cement mills in other parts
of the country steel balls are used in
stead of the flint pebbles. But in the
/ far west along the coast, the pebbles
are still used, because their low cost
makes it worth while Small tube mills
are charged with from 10 to ii tons
of balls, while the larger ones contain

around and get the low down on nj
the teams on the Els schedule. In
years of experience his opinion of a
player should bear weight.
George Owen, the Harvard half
back, is the greatest back in college
football history. He can do more
things well than any other back l
have ever seen," he says.
Those who have recollections Of
Thorpe, Coy, Gipp and other greats
may differ with the doctor but coaches
who have visited Harvard in the last
two years and observed Owen in ac-
ton will agree if he is not the great
est, he is surely one of them.
Football is becoming a sport of tre-
mendous public appeal. When five
major games in the middle of the sea
son will draw 22s,O00 spectators, there
is something to the game.
In addition to the spectacle offered
by the college atmosphere, the color
and the roofing, there is growing un.
derstanding among the fans of the ire
mendous "heart" in the players.
Mallory, the Yale halfback, one of
the greatest defensive players in the
game gave an exhibition of the
'gameness that makes football in the
contest against the Army.
Although he was carrying seven
nice boils and mere motion was the
source of terrific pain, he went into
the game just after the start when
Scott, his substitute had been knock
ed out.
Mallory played through the entire
game and when the pile cleared he
was generally on the bottom.
Anyone who ever had boil, anyone
who ever played football, knows that
they don't come much gamer than
that.

TANNING WITH FARRELL,
BASEBALL SALARIES SHOW SHRINK AGE

NEW YORK. November 13.---Ideas
that the public has about the huge
salaries paid to baseball players are
exaggerated and la from correct, ac-
cordirg to severl prominent players.
In the activities leading up to the
organization of the player S union, the
wide variance between the money &C.
tually paid to the players and the
salary the public Delieved they were
drawing was surprising, the leaders
among the players maintain.
Babe Ruth, for instance, is generally
supposed to be drawing $4,000, where
as it is said he is getting not much more
than one-half this amount.
During the trial of the "Black Sox'
players, it was surprising the rather
nominal salary drawn by star players.
who were considered to be among the
highest salaried players in the game.
One of the pitching stars of the re-
cent worlds series was said to be
working on $4,000 year contract
when he was released by one club.
Some of the big stars are drawing
salaries commensurate with their play
ing ability and their attraction at the
gate, but the general run of salaries
paid to the ordinary players is moi
anything near what the public think
Club owners do not make practice
of opening their books and showing
their payroll. Perhaps they are not
responsible for allowing the dopesteTs
to figure out what the players Should
be. getting. In justice to them it
would seem they are guilty only in
that they do not correct the false i'm
p~essions and that would be bad busi
ness.
