as q result of a fine kick by Tryon.
1t was a hurried punt which scared
over Caulkins' head and bounced
toward the Tiger goal line. Shaugh-
messy came down the field fast and
fell on the ball on the Princeton g.
yard line. Princeton elected to kick
on the first play, but Mankat broke
through and blocked Dignan's at

after n mad chase behind his own
goal line. This gave Colgate first
water, points for safety.

slippery ball trickled out Of Ewing

Ewing, but Brewer intercepted 1t and
ran It back to Princeton's, 10.yard

collegiate career he has had to resort
to an offered intermission because Of

Shapley and Flippin were the spec.
tacular runners of the first period, the
latter making two tochdowns and
Banks the third. Shapley, however.
covered by far the greatest total of
yards, carrying the ball chiefly on his
wide end runs, without any effort at
deception but behind fine interference.
Flippin also was effective carrying
the ball on straight plays, but some

plays. The Navy found it easy to gain

Of a very heavy set Of forwards, while

The Wreck of the Hesperus

Somebody is always taking the JOY
out of life and the heart out of poetry.
Here is q callous literary critic in Bos-
ton who has gone researching into the
files of the newspapers Of 1899 and has
discovered that there is no basis in
fact for Longfellows ballad. 1.-THE
Wreck Of the Hesperus," which has
been familiar to several generations of
Americans. Browsing through Long
fellows diary, this researcher came
upon the following passage for the
18th Of December, 1889:
News of shipwrecks horrible off the
coast. Twenty bodies washed ashore
near Gloucester. One female lashed to
q piece of wreck. There is a reef
called Nornans Woe, where many Of
these took place, among others the
schooner Hesperus. I must write a
ballad about this.
Thereupon the researcher went to
the files to see just what kind OF a
storm 1t was and what actually hap
pened, and he found that on the 18th
Of December a furious gale had Iashed
the New England coast and about 20
vessels were driven on Normans Woe.
But the Hesperus was not one of them.
There was a schooner of that name,
but she was In Boston Harbor, and the
gale drove her against the William
kBadger and she lost her bowsprit.
Evening star., 1925-05-31

That, in fact, was the wreck OF the
Hesperus.''
This disclosure will not destroy the
beauty OF the poem or its endless ap-
peal. 1t will stand always as one of
Longfellow's most famous works, even
though the Hesperus was not wrecked
and even though she was not near
Normans Woe when she cracked her
bowsprit, which was all that happened
to her. But suppose Longfellow had
waited for the complete reports and
had picked cut one Of the ships that
did go to pieces on Norrans Woe and
had based his ballad on that tragedy,
and the unfortunate ship had been
named, as were most OF those of that
day, something like the Sally Perkins,
or the Joshua Higgins. Would the
ballad have lived as long as it has?
No. 1t would have been a commonplace
performance. It was a combination of
"Hesperus,"e sweet-sounding name
with romantic flavor. and "Normans
Woe," a grim title OF menace to sea-
AoA SA o. ltAAS saw lhO Ooat<hA 4LS pOlkTl-
ancy of appeal.
The mischief about these historical
disclosures with reference to literary
landmarks is that somebody always re-
members them. And in years to come
many OF the readers of that ballad will
recall that all that happened to the
Hesperus in the great storm OF 1899
was that she bumped her nose.

young fellow or a. competent, steady

If a customer is not too pernickerty,

we'll enough in the modern grocery
store.
While there are no public complaints
to make against grocery ethics, there
is complaint about grocery prices, but
the grocer says he is not to blame and
cannot help the prices. A strange
thing about our high prices is that
nobody is to blame. Nobody is re.
yponsibie. Prices just raise themselves
1t does not seem that grocery prices
have gone up in any worse way than
the cost Of buying houses or renting
rooms, or have gone up in any more
uncomfortable way than carfare, milk,
shoes, shirts, collars and neckties, and
there Is organization in<the modern
grocery store which seems to give us
groceries as near the wholesale price
level as can be and with as little over
head charge as possible. Not many
speakers and writer's, artists and poets
busy themselves with the theme Of the
grocery store, yet it is an important
place.

Improper Film Enterprise

1t is proposed, and, in fact. 1t has
been planned to introduce in the line
Of Naval Academy graduates a few
days hence a noted motion picture
actor, to receive a diploma" from the
hands Of the President, along with the
actual graduates. as a feature OF a
movie film which portrays life at the
Naval Academy. Protest has been
made against this use Of a formal, his
toric ceremony for commercial pur-
poses, and the plan may be abandoned.
1t should be abandoned. Surely
there is no reason why the actual
official ceremonies OF the Government
should be made part of film fictions.
No matter how faithfully Government
activities may be reproduced in this
form, or how wholesome may be the
public reaction to the display OF such
pictures, the fact remains that these
films are made and displayed for bust
ness purposes, for profit. The Gov
ernment should not go into the smuse-
ment enterprise or lend itself as an
aid with discrimination in favor Of
particular companies.
There Is no need to advertise the
United States Navy. This is peace
time. The Naval Academy never lacks
recruits. 1t is unnecessary to stinu-
late the interest Of young men in a
possible naval career by means OF film
pictures. The Government, therefore,
has no occasion to allow the use OF
it's locations and its ceremonies to
arouse the patriotic ambitions of the
youth Of the land.

The Grocery Store.

The American Wholesale Grocers'
Association, in its thirty-tf1ird annual
convention here. has heard addresses
by men who know great deal about
groceries It Is a big subject. There
was tirne when groceries did not go
much beyond -four, meal sugar. tea,
bacon, salt mackerel, vinegar, molasses
End pickles, but the grocery trade now
carries everything that men will eat,
Rnd everybody knows how the list of
wings to cat and Of varieties, brands
ard trade names has lensthened
Many grocery stores are set in a way
TO please the eye and tempt the ap-
petite. Cans with art labels and jars Of
sweets and sours in all shades Of color
FIJI the shelves. Some grocery stores
are made as bright as a jewelry store
or a flower shop.
Two Of the things discussed at the
convention of grocers were improved
business methods and ethics. The ex-
perience Of most of Us Is that business
3nethods of the grocery store have i'm
proved. Not so many of US carry the
little charge book in which purchases
and prices were usually illegibly en-
iered. Not so many of US keep watch
on that little book to be sure that the
grocer has not made an unpremeditat-
I'd or other kind Of mistake in multipli-
ration or addition. More Of US pay
rash for groceries and are free Of the
Sfore housekeepers have their eyes on
The price lists and keep abreast of
quotations on potatoes, oranges, eggs
and canned tomatoes.
So far as outsiders see there has
been improvement in grocery ethics,
and surely there has been improve
Snent in the upkeep of the grocery
store. The clerk is alert, quick and
helpful, and nearly always is a bright
