Seek to Equaize
Track and Field
Events of A. A. A. A.

New York. Oct. 1S-A better bal
ancing of the intercollegiate A. A.
A. A. track and field meet program
will be a leading issue, 1t is believed.
when the executive committee OF
the I. c. A. A. A.. A. holds its an
nual meeting November %.
Whether the effort will result in
tho elimination of the field events
or the Introduction of a new track
event, Is q question that will then
be decided but 1t is generally be-
lieved that one or the other will
materialize.
During the past three years, due
to the introduction Of the javelin
and the discus throw, the annual
program has been made up of eight
track events and seven field events,
rs compared with the eight track
mer years. It Is the opinion OF
many that track events be restored
to greater preponderance.
California's successive victories in
1921, 1922 and 1923 largely through
points won by field event athletes
have drawn attention to the exist
ing conditions and 1t is the ex-
messed hope of several eastern
coaches that California's high
scoring event. the discus throw, be
eliminaed. Others, however. be-
lieve the discus should be retained
and that a 440-yard hurdle or q
three mile or five mile run be in
troduced. The later commended the
I. c. A. A. A. A. program should
conform to the Olympic games pro-
gram and point out the present in
tercollegiate program has no equiv
alent Of the 400-metres hurdle, or
the 5000 metres run.

and Zackaroff involved giving money
to permit the transportation and sails
of alcohol to be rectified into whiskey
and other alcoholic beverages.
1t was explained that denatured AL.

hol and used for manufacture Of whis.

have been denatured was used instead
to make whiskey and that money was
paid to permit these processes and 10

The charges against Foley and tina
four other officials of breweries al.
legged that they had paid brides to
federal agents to permit them 10
flood New York and New Jersey with
beer of high alcoholic content. The
agrnts in accepting the brides, II was
stated, agreed to permit the manu-
facture and sale of New Jersey beer
and on the other hand promised to
use their best efforts to prevent the
sale in New Jersey of beer made in
Pennsylvania.
With the $4,000 received by federal
agents today, the total of brides
seized by the government forces and
confiscated was sS4,500. according to
United States Attorney Hayward.
who estimated the total given In
brides since the conspiracy originated
was about $500 900.
Mr.. Hayward said barring of the al.
legged conspiracy revealed "a shock

vania." State and other officials.
politicians and persons high In social
standing. he said, were in league
with the bootleg conspirators.
He declared he was powerless to
act against these corrupt officials
except insofar as they came within
his jurisdiction but he said he in
tended to submit all his findings to
Attorney General Daugherty for dir
ect action. He said he would urge
upon DR.. Daugherty and high pro-
hibition officiate that they take up
the matter with New Jersey state
officials.

What to Wear This Autumn

There is no end of variety in
frocks to wear on cool days. New
and irresistible is the coat dress
which is marked by the tiny tucks to
drape it at the sides-also the one
piece dress that snugly wraps around
the figure. But most important of
all are the many new ideas launched
i'll tier, flounce and plated effects.
There is still strong tendency for
short sleeves and the longer skirt.
The newest coats show interesting
band trimming, row upon row, from
hip to hem. A deep circular f1ounce
is frequently used. The prominent
note in frocks is a continued use of
plated flounces, panels and tunics.
Applied tucks and bands in apron eff
feet are also seen everywhere fash
icnable women congregate Draperies
that hint of hustle or a bow ar
ranged in hustle effect are among the
radical tendencies that promise to be
favorite features of dinner and dance
frocks. The most effective embroid-
cries of the season are motifs worked
in single stitch.-From The Designer
Magazine.

FRI Model Studied
In NJ. /. T. Laboratory

The Bureau of Aeronautics of the
Navy Department has just permitted
public announcement that q study of
a celluloid model of the airship ZR-1
by means of photoelastic methods
has been carried on during the past
ten months in the laboratories of
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. No definite statement of
the results of the tests can be made
but Navy Department officials have
expressed themselves as well pleased
with the data obtained. 1t is pc
lcved that these tests will be of
distinct value" and of material aid
in the design of airships to prevent
a repetition of the ZR-2 and Roma
disasters.
The model consists of several
thousand pieces of celluloid mach
ined precisely to scale and fitted to-
cether in a miniature duplicate Of
the airship. The testing was per-
formed in the photoelastic laboratory
of the Department of Physics by DR..
Paul Heymans and T. H. Frost. of
the Technology staff, under the gen
eral supervision of Professor Charles
l.. Norton, head of the Department
of Physics.
The phenomena Of photoelasticlry
have been known to science for some
time, but have been employed only
recently to settle troublesome
problems of structural design, many
of which cannot be mathematically
determined. BY this method polarized
light is passed through the celluloid
of the model under different loading
conditions, and the stresses appear
in rainbow cOlors. Since celluloid
acts structurally, as do metals used
VARYING the loads on the laboratory
model, to determine just how the
airship itself will act under various
conditions.

only tell us about things; music can

more than this, for music is able with

surely and more clearly than many

Chess Mania In Stroe sbeck

The little peasants village of
Stroesbeck, Germany. Of 1900 souls
boasts that it contains not a man,
woman or a child of school age who
does not play the ancient game of
chess. Even the small children have
kings, queens, knights and paWns as
playthings.
Stroesbeck's fondness for chess
dates back to the 18th century, so
the story goes, when Count Gunnelin
of the Wendish tribe, held here as a
prisoner of the Bishop of Madgeburg.
made his own chessboard and taught
his prison guards to play.
During the summer the peasants
work in their fields, reaping the
harvest and anticipating long winter
evenings when Stroesbeck itself be-
comes a great big chessboard, with
one, two or more games in progress
in every home and at the church So
cial or any other local function.
Chess is taught in the schools. and
the children carry their chess books
and their boards as children in the
United States carry their grammars
or arithmetics and states. Pupils in
the elementary classes in StroeSbeck
must pass an examination in the
game, and to the winners of the con-
ltSlS lH6 Nlile'SS SiNS
prizes-chess boards and pieces.
Boards are painted on the houses,
inside and out. The dining tables
and sitting room tables in nearly all
homes are boards in themselves, ana
even the decorations upon tho walls
of the houses are drawings or paint
ings of "some great game" locally,
or an unusual play or checkmate by
some player of renown.
Although Stroesbeck has been
playing chess all these centuries,
none of it's citizens ever has at
tracted more than local fame, but
the names of the world 'chessmasters
are held in the highest esteem here,
and each is known to every child.
Detroit. Oct 1S-William kid
Gleason will not be engaged as as
sistant manager OF the Detroit team
of the American League. it was an
nounced here today by Frank j.
Navin, president of the Detroit club.
Late in the season when there were
rumors that Gleason would resign
as manager of the Chicago White
SoX, there was a report current that
the Chicago manager would be Sc
lected to assist Ty Cobb at Detroit.
At that time Cobb said no neGoti-
atoms were being carried on for
Gleason's services. Cobb always has
been an admirer of Gleason and the
two are warm friends.

Frances Tennis Growth
Causes Her to Be Proud

Paris, Oct. ia. p. by MaiD-
There were 1920 players entered
and 14,123 actually took part in the
popular tennis tournaments organ
lied throughout France by the
French Tennis Federation during the
season just closed. Several promis-
ing youngsters were uncovered who.
with few years more practice, may
develop into Davis Cup timber.
The French are very proud of the
development of tennis in France of
recent years. 1t is pointed out that
for the Davis Cup matches, in 1921.
1922 and 1923, they have put on the
courts an entirely different team
each year.
1t is a common saying in France
that If the Davis Cup matches were
played six men to side, French ten
mis- would have q chance.

the effect failed to last, and with SELL
ing orders coming in a rush during
the final half hour. wheat underwent
sudden new tumble, and closed at
the days bottom figures.
In connection with the late weak
ness of wheat, gossip was circulated
that Russian shipments this week
would total 1000 900 bushels. Other
bcarish factors today related to Ar
gentina offering wheat cheaper than
Canada and to prospects of enlarged
acreage of domestic winter wheat
southwest, Kansas in particular.
Forecasts of clear frosty weather
cased the corn market so far as De-
cember and later months were con-
cerned. but October and November de-
liverics showed a decided upward
tendency owing to smallness of i'm
mediate supplies. Oats lacked ag-
gressive support.
