Demrsey's Tastes In Color
Are Extremely Modest

New York, Sept. 10-(A. p. by
NaiD-The bathrobes that boxers
wear into the ring have always been
in wonderful color combina tons. A
lemon and black checked robe with
purple trimmings has been made
famous by Luis Angel Firpo. Other
IDEAS range from startling shades of
color, with monograms, or names of
the wearer blazoned thereon, to a
fodge podge Of shades and figures
that fairly take the breath away.
Jack Dempsey, the worlds cham
pion, has yet to appear in a bath
robe when he makes his entry into
the ring for the defense Of his title.
An old sweater, either faded red or
purple, towel thrown over his head
and shoulders is all the wrapping
the champion affects. His trunks are
invariably white, with his country's
colors knotted at the waist.
In his training camp Dempsey az
fects a dressing gown Of dark pur-
pie. He wears this during the jour-
ney from his cottage to the ring and
back again.
There is nothing about Dempsey's
wearing apparel, in or out of the
ring, that can be termed loud" In
fact his color tastes are extremely
modest.

Hens in Winter

Mr.. r. H. Neill. writing in The
Farm journal says: "A supply OF
green feed for laying hens in winter
is sometimes hard to get; but if win
ter eggs are to be expected, there
must be a green ration fed along with
other feeds.
For a number of years I gathered
green material during the summer
months. and dried it for winter use.
This plan was very successful. but
last winter l tried a different plan
a poultry silo in which l kept my
green ration in its natural state. Old
barrels were used Tor the silos.
First, make an opening about four
inches above the base of the barrel
to get at the silage. The opening is
then fitted with a flap that fits snug
ly. and can be closed after each feed
ing. A hole is then bored in the bot
tom of the barrel to drain off excess
fluid. The silo is then ready for fill
ing.
Il used green feed of all descrip-
tons, such as clover. grass from the
lawn, beet-tops, cabbage leaves-in
fact, almost anything that chicken
would eat. After barrel was filled,
a lid that could be removed readily
was made to fit snugly on top and
within the barrel. A weight was then
placed on the cover to pack down the
contents.
LAS the feed is taken out from be-
low, the contents of the barrel will be
pushed downward. 1t is not neces-
sary that the barrel be filled all at
one time. 1t can be partly filled, and
more green stuff added as opportu-
nifty offers. A barrel of this feed will
furnish enough green stuff for thirty
or forty hens during the winter.

Looking Over Freshmen
At y. of NJ. This Week

Orono, Sept. ia new plan for
opening the college year has been
recommended by President c. C. Lit
tie and It will be introduced this
week at University Of Maine. The
members Of the entering class, whose
number will be limited to $50, be-
cause Of the lack of sufficient hous-
ing accommodations on the campus.
will be required to begin a week
earlier than the upper classmen.
Freshmen will register Tuesday; all
other students the following Tues
day.
No regular study or recitation
periods will be scheduled during this
preliminary week, but the time will
be devoted to acquainting the stu
dents with matters tending to prop
erly adjust them to get the best out
of college life.
Freshmen Week. says President
Little in a letter just issued to stu
dents enrolled for the entering class,
has among it's objects the provid-
ing of an opportunity, before the
rush of the returning upper classmen
starts. to study carefully the in
dividual problems of freshmen and
to assist in estimating their ability
to meet the responsibilities and
difficulties of college life. 1t is our
belief that in many institutions
, much time has been wasted by ad-
hitting to college and encouraging
each year a certain number of in
dividuals who could have been warn
ed in advance that the likelihood of
their succeeding in meeting salts
factorily the requirements of col
lege course would be insufficient to
justify their making the effort.
This week should also give us an
opportunity to pick out the eXcep-
tional student and to advise him as
to how the special abilities which he
possesses may be best utilized. 1t
will give the class opportunity TO
become a unit and to become familiar
with many of the college customs
which sometim are not absorbed
in months. 1t will offer an
opportunity for individual in
struction in the use of library, IN
the method of study best suited TO
| the individual case. The faculty ana
administrative officers. believing
, strongly in it's value, will return TO
Orono for the purpose of making this
week successful and an established
part of the years program"

match, work was rushed ahead on the
additions to the Polo Grounds Arena,
advance ticket sales doomed and the
champion and his challenger put re-
doubled energy into the finishing
stages Of their training campaigns
for the battle next Friday night.
The proximity of the title struggle

Dempsey would quickly end Firpos

out. But in spite Of the consensus
in favor of the title holder. experts

Americans remarkable strength, his
stamina and the devastating power
behind his right hand punches.
Dempsey's superior speed and gener-

power were the factors regarded as
likely to turn the scales in the Amerl-
cans favor.
The tendency to accord Firpo more
than a mere fighting chance. however
was reflected in the gradual shorten-
ing of betting odds. One large wager
was reported today at 2la to l on
Dempsey. as compared with a NUMBER
recorded several weeks ago at as nlgn
as 4 to l on the champion.
Even the most ardent Dempsey
hackers, however. look upon Firpo as

Once Priceless Effects Of
Empress Sold at Auction

London. Aug. pa. P. by MaiD-
Members of England's Oldest and
highest. families stood with almost
fearful eyes when the once priceless
effects of the late Empress Eugenic
of France were sold under the ham
mer at ridiculously small prices, but
still beyond their impoverished
purses. The goods sold were princi-
pally her late Majesty's dresses,
slippers, gowns, laces and furs.
Most of the stuff was bought by
dealers. although some of the former
empress servants and followers
were able to buy small articles.
The hundred and sixty lots brought
about $4,000, which would hardly
have paid for one of the court gowns
worn at the royal festivities in the
days of splendor.
A lot of rare Alencon lace brought
S1115 and a fur stole $685. A beau
tlful rug into which was woven the
royal cipher with the arms of Spain
and France. given to the empress on
her wedding day by the carpet max
ers of Seville. was bought by a
Frenchman and will be presented to

Up-to. Date Theft


Consideration for the feelings of a
fellow sleeping car passenger recent
ly proved costly to a German bust
ness man. as evidenced by the fol-
lowing item from the Hamburger
Anzeiger:
1.-THE general director Of a Ham,
burg cigar factory was travelling in a
sleeping car to Berlin. He had sew
eral million marks in his grip, where
he had also placed his gold watch,
putting the key of the bag into his
pocket A man looking like a for
eigner took a seat with him in the
sleeping care compartment. Shortly
before the train reached Buchen his
fellow passenger began smoking
cigarettes that gave, out a peculiar
odor. This annoyed the general di-
rector very much and he debated in
his mind the problem Of calling
down his unpleasant fellow-passen-
ger. But he got no further than the
thought, as he was soon so overcome
by the smoke that be was unable to
say a word. At Buchen his fellow
passenger left the train. He had
taken advantage Of the general d.
rector's semi Unconscious state to
go through his grip and carry off the
valuables."
