 Definitely Arranged

New Haven. June r. Changes In the courses over which the Yale Harvard junior varsity and freshman races will be rowed or the Thames Friday morning, June 20, are an- nounced by President Robbins of the Yale navy. Heretofore they have both been rowed over the upper two miles of the course, between the navy yard and Winthrop Point, opposite Red Top, the Harvard quarters. This has not given good view to the crews from the observation train on both sides of the river.
 At a Harvard conference it was decided that this years freshman and junior varsity races will be rowed up stream in what is known as the middle two miles Of the official four mile course. In other words the race will start at the mile flag above the finish line of the varsity course and the finish will be at the milo flag one mile distant from the starting line of the long course the race therefore being between the. mile and the three mile flags.
 The official time of starting at 1o;i5 a. m, in each case eastern standard time, The varsity race is scheduled for o'clock eastern standard time down stream and if A postponement is necessary if will be until T:30 o'clock. standard time, the race being upstream al the later hour.

 The junior varsity and combination crews went together for three three minute rows against each other. Changes were made between each TOW. Prud'homme went in at No. , in the Junior varsity in Sweets place who went 10 No. in the combination boat. Davidson went in at box in the junior varsity for lsham. This last change will probably not be perma 5 nent. Coach Leader did not comment on the other changes.

FIND SECOND MOON
AND BECOME FAMOUS

If you are interested in popular as
tronomy and If you own or have ac-
cess to small telescope, you have
the opportunity of lifetime to make
momentous discovery, one that
might eclipse the discoveries of the
worlds greatest ebservatories, writes
Scriven Bolton. f. r. A. s., in
Popular Science Monthly. You have
a good chance to find suspected
second moon to the earth-a COM
paratively tiny meteoric ironstone ball.
some four or five hundred feet across,
without atmosphere and frozen to the
core
This strange little body, pulled from
Its course by gravity, is believed to re
volve around our earth once every
three hours, travelling at a speed Of
about three and one-half miles Sec
ond. Its orbit may lie about $500
miles from the earth's surface. A
modest three-inch telescope should re-
veal it.
Watch to see II a small black speck
ever passes across the solar or lunar
disk. II the suspected second moon
really exists, 1t is reasonable to as
sumo that occasionally 1T must pass
between us and the sun and moon,
moving rapidly across in six or eight
seconds. Reports have been received
that such a body has been observed,
but these must be substantiated.

YOUTH MAY BECOME
WORLDS STRONG MAN

An extraordinary display of strength
(Eng) youth. He crushed a firm.
rosy-cheeked apple to pulp between
his fingers, drove a nail at one blow
from his hand through two thick
planks, broke a chain with his teeth,
made a horseshoe out of an iron bar
II inches long and, lastly, allowed five
men, two trolleys and an anvil, quar-
ter of ton in weight, to pass over
boards supported solely by his chest.
Slight in build, he looks much young
er than his years. He attributes his
great strength to his chest develop
ment. AS boy he was puny, and af-
ter his father died of consumption his
mother urged him to do chest exer-
cises, which he did with simple home
made apparatus, consisting of single
elastic strand with metal ring at
either end But his chest muscles
alone do not make him keep his title
of the "World's Strongest Boy. as he
showed when he lifted an ounce
weight with his ear Standing with
feet apart he hardened his muscles
and the ring at the end of the clip,
which had pulled the top of his ear
downward as he stood easy, gradually
rose until the ear was upright. He
repeated the feat several times; each
time the body relaxed the ring fell
again.

digging.
Not sound did he make but deep
breathing and few chuckles as he
thought of the bones he would find as
the earth flew thickly around him.
Pretty soon he had quite good
sized hole, and making a plunge with
his head, Mr. Dog went in up to his
shoulders, but not bone did he see, OF
Mr.. Fox, either, for as soon as he
heard Mr.. Dog digging hard and his
barking stopped, out went Mr.. Fox by
the back door, and by the time Mr.
Dog was in the den he was miles away.
Mr.. Dog came out looking very much
crestfallen and covered with earth. He
gave himself good shake, and without
looking around he trotted off home.
Fooled" he said to himself as he
went along. II might have known bet.
ter than to trust that sly fellow. There
is no use looking for him today, but
will catch him yet, and when l do
let him look out. That is all / have
to say"
But Mr.. Fox was far away, looking
down from ridge where he was rest
ing, on the farms around, and he said
as he looked at the farm where Mr.
Dog lived: 1.-THE hens there are ole
and tough; so shan't go there any
more, and If Mr.. Dog is waiting fol
me he will have long wait"

Mr.. Dog barked loudly and began to
make the earth fly; but, fortunately
for Mr.. Fox, Mr.. Dog was very large
creature and could not possibly get
through his doorway.
Mr.. Fox, of course, had more than
one door to his home, but what was
the use of going out when Mr.. Dog
was all eyes and could see him?
Mr.. Fox shivered every time Mr..
Dog sent out loud bark, which would
tell his master he had something cor
nered and TO come quickly with his
gun.
HE will have me in deep trouble
If something is not done to stop him"
thought Mr.. Fox, and then he pricked
up his ears, for an idea had come TO
him. He might be able to escape from
the same time get even with Mr.. Dog
for bothering him when he had just
about caught a plump hen for his
breakfast.
81 am sorry you cannot get those
fine bones the dog at the farm below
you hid in here, Mr.. Dog" said Mr..
Fox from inside.
whats that?" asked Mr.. Dog, stop
ping in his work for a second. What
did you say about bones?
81 said the dog at the farm house
below you had made this hiding place
for his bones" said Mr.. Fox. Il can
see five beauties without looking
around at all. But you cannot get
them, Mr.. Dog, because you are so
big, and 1 can't push them out TO you
because you are so impolite when you
meet me-"

"Well, If you go on barking the

the bones. OF course, If you are smart

Mr.. Dog was all over his desire to

The Dhu Of Superstitions
Bu H lRulNG KING

I unburied. This is an Inheritance of
the primitive idea of burial as means
of protection from the dead, an I'M
prisoning of the dead mans ghost so
/ that 1t could not do harm to the living.
Lewis Dayton Burdick in his Magic
and Husbandry" says that primitive
| man fearing the malevolent influence
Of the spirit or ghost Of the dead man
placed his body beneath a weight of
earth and sought to prevent his trou-
blesome temperance" AS long as
the body was above ground our far
off ancestors conceived the dead mans
spirit as lowering about 1t and were
apprehensive as to that spirits action.
A fear of the spirits of the dead was
strongly rooted in the minds of primi-
tive man and exists today In all primi-
tive races who have many rites for
propitiating the names of the deceased
kin and companions. Our far-off an
! cestors regarded Mother Earth as
providing a retreat and resting
place for the dead and a protection to
the living from harmful spirits"
l. III COAnCCtAOh Will tllS
idea of the danger of leaving dead
body unburied Mr.. Burdick says: .It
is interesting to note that it was one
of the laws of the Hebrews that If
man had committed crime meriting
death and had been hanged upon a
tree the body must be buried during
that day and not suffered to remain
all night upon the tree lest the land
be defiled.'" and he thinks that pri-
marily the custom was associated
with the fear Of harm TO the living
from the depredations of the ma
liciously inclined ghost.
The current superstitions mentioned
above are clearly surviyals of this
idea of primitive mantle idea that
safety for the living neeessitated a
prompt burial Of the dead.
