to a degree of certainty next Satur.

Record breaking performances
maze In the Millrose games in New

Some have been competing for years.

not compete next Saturday, ability of
Americans to perform creditably in

DARTMOUTH CAPTAIN IS
TOO GOOD A STUDENT;
MAY QUIT GRID Came

A curious case is that of Cyril Asch
enback, elected captain of the Dart
mouth eleven for next fall.
He is such a good student that he
IS likely to be graduated from college
in June, even though he is eligible
for another year Of football.
1t seems that he entered Dartmouth
from n New Jersey high school at the
end of the war. The exigencieB Of
his course In the Tuck School of Ad-
mInistration and Finance cause him
to miss a season of football. Thus
he has had only two years on the
varsity. VIZ
He could remain in college by fail
Ing in certain exams, but Aschen-
back has been n brilliant student and
the Dartmouth faculty would be like
~ to suspect the underlying reasons
for his sudden stupidity. And thus
suspicious they might have some
thing to say about Cy's gridiron pros
poets for 1923.
It's a difficult problem that con.
fronts the young man. He could
over-cut chapel and, oven though
passing all exams, would still be in

certain rigid persons high in author
lty who might have n great deal to
say about this eNpedient also.

ART FLETCHER.


or o weeks ago the bait shooters
a V sure been on the job telling us
what they think about this pike"
and "pickerel" question. One chap
took his writing Weapon in hand and
assured us that no matter what we
called that darn snake which infests
the waters of the middle west,
whether we called 1t Great Lakes
pike, great pike, or plain pickerel, 1t
was nothing more than a snake to
him. not fit to take on a hook, and
''pickerel' was even too good a name
for aid fish, to say nothing of calling
it great pike! So that's that. And
now let's take nother shot at this
jumbled question of what's what in
the pike family.
Among other letters received from
the fishing fraternity was n from
A. C. Weed of the division of fishes Of
the Field museum, Chicago. A. c.
s working on this p,ckerel n pike
business right now and has just fin
lshed with the smaller pickerels,
which don't interest us much, as they
hardly can be classed as game fishes.
Friend Weed said that the lineup we
gave was Just about the same as he
had doped out, except that he figured
t was quite hopeless to try to change
the common, old time, well nigh uni
versal name of the pickerel (Esox
luclus) to great pike or Great Lakes
pike. Reckon you're right, A. c., but
this tumble of names will never get
Strengthened out unless this big pike
is called by its right name.
While at the museum the other day
we had n loo at a fine, big muskie
from Ohio which. according to many
fish experts is the Ohio or chautauqua
muskellunge. But you can't get n
half dozen fish men to agree on h!s
point. Some say there are three
muskies in the middle west. Others,
as, for Instance, DIR. Henshall, recog-
niZe only one which, with slight
variations are found throughout this
region. So there you are. When the
scientists can't agree what lance
have the rest of us to get together
on this question? However, Wen
hazard a guess hat before many
years when everybody has had n
chance to study more of these mus
kIes here in the middle west, the
students will be pretty well agreed
hat the muskie of northern Wiscon-
| sin is not the same fish of the Ohio
country.
At present the lineup is something
like this:
1. Scientific name Esox masquln-
ongy): common name Common uskel-
lunge). Found in upper st. Lawrence
s.ver. some streams and lakes tribu'

GREASE RUSTY CAR SPRINGS
Jack Up Chassis and Apply Lubricant
While Weight Is off-kerosens
Cuts Rust.

Positive fabrication OF springs may
be secured without the purchase Of ad-
ditional accessories-jack up the
chassis and apply lubricant while the
springs are thus relieved Of their
weight. In this condition the spring
leaves should open slightly In a fan
shape. 1t may be necessary to spread
the leaves a trifie with a screwdriver,
knife. or any thin strip Of metal. A few
minutes work with squirt gun, filed
with half kerosene and motor OIL, will
cut the rust and leave film OF iubri-
cant between the leaves.
Sometimes a spring is rusted to the
extent that 1t becomes ''frozen" In a
rigid mass. The only remedy is 20 take
it apart, wash each leaf with kerosene
and replace, inserting heavy piece Of
wrapping paper thoroughly saturated
with good grade Of graphite grease
between each leaf.

first appearance seems to be contro-
verted, but the Nomad has positive
and verifiable recollection of the song
as long ago as the spring Of 1890, and
1t is doubtless couple of years older
than that. In the summer of 1890 1t
was certainly popular. The tune is a
remarkably good one-original, plain
tive, and it is rather a pity that anyone
should seek to take the credit Of Its
composition away from James Thorn

Iron Ore Quite Useful
in Road Construction

Iron ore, found in northwestern
Louisiana, has proven of great value
In road building in that state and, in
some localities where it has been used,
has effected a saving Of $1,000 to $1,000
a mile in the cost of construction.
Highway engineers in Louisiana have
been using the ore as a binder instead
of sand clay and have found it far
superior to that material in many in
stances. During 1922 the Louisiana
state highway department completed
$50 miles of new roads. Most of this
mileage consists of gravel. The re-
mainder consists of roads built of
shells, sheet asphalt or bitulithic. The
1928 program includes larger amount
of asphaltic construction.

Too Hard for the Astronomer.

Betelgeuse is the star in the constel-

the measurement of Prof. A. A. Mich
elson, University of Chicago, has a
diameter 800 times as large as that OF
Nthe sun.
Men have pronounced the star

'bet a goose" and "beat goose
One day the word was pronounced
several different ways at a meeting
which Professor Nicholson attended.
"How do you pronounce that word,
Professor Michelson?'' someone asked,
turning to him. Nobody here seems
to know"
81 don't know" said the man who
measured it. 81 always get around say
ing it by using the astronomical name
Alpha Orionis.'
The correct way to pronounce the
word is as if spelled Bet-elguz.

CRIME ON MOTOR
CAUSE OF DECAY
Greasy Accommodations Injurious
to Various Connections and
Also to Insulation.

The motorcar's spring cleaning
should not stop with the body. top and
cushions. An engine and chassis COW
cred with grease and dirt is costly
encouragement to delaying simple adj
justments which win save money in
repairs.
Clean the engine, springs, transmits
sion housing and other parts which ac-
cumulate sticky CRIME with kerosene,
to which some gasoline may be added
Use a wooden backed scrubbing brush
with no metal on 1t. Metal may touch
electric terminals and cause a spark
which will start a fire. A much bet
ter job will result If the drip pan is
removed while the engine is cleaned.
Cleaning Saves the Engine.
In addition to looking better and be-
ing easier to repair, clean engines
hose connections, electric insulation
and gaskets will not deteriorate nearly
so quickly.
With the springs cleaned oiling sug-
gests itself. Be sure the grease cups
on the springs are full and screwed
down so there will be pressure. That
is not enough to save rusted spring,
however. Jack up the chassis and ap-
ply lubricant with a paint brush or a
squirtgun.
If the leaves of springs are rusted
together, they usually may be pried
apart with a screwdriyer while the car
is lacked up. Repair men diagnose as
frozen" spring condition in which
all leaves are rusted into what appears
to be a solid mass. Soak the frozen"
spring In kerosene and try the screw
driver again next day.
Take 5alky Spring Apart.
If the spring still balks, the best
way is to remove it, take it apart,
clean the leaves with kerosene, lubri-
cate them with graphite and grease
and reassemble them.
Spring covers of leather and metal,
oil retaining cups and high pressure
lubricating systems are among recent
improvements which simplify care OF
springs. The various covers keep out
dirt and keep in lubricants so that
springs rarely need attention. High
pressure devices range in design from
those in which screw pressure exerts
terrific force to a handy affair like
pistol which Shoots" grease when the
trigger is pulled.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if yon wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisement.
