The treatment is unusual; the cast

pains have been spared to insure a
finished production. This cast produc-

Miss Gertrude Ederle has not yet
found conditions favorable enough to
attempt her swim of the English
channel, and the latest reports say
she will start either today or Monday.
Miss Ederle is taking wise precau
lions to make her try successful. She
will wear water tight goggles to keep
the salt waves from affecting her eyes,
sea blindness. She will anoint her
body with some waterproof lotion,
which will protect it from the chill
consequent upon many hours of sub
n,ersion. She will watch and study
weather, cross currents, and tides; in
short, she will make the proposed
crossing as much mental victory as
a physical one. The general public is,
however, Intrigued" as to why she
wants to swim across that dangerous
piece of water. Just what will be
gained is hard to say.
The colleges are now beginning to
look forward to foot ball, and will
soon call their squads for fall practice.
The schedules of the Maryland insti-
tutions show the usual lack of reci-
procity, but there will be none the
less talk about the championship
team. If Maryland beats Washing
ton land Washington beats Western
Maryland, and Western Maryland
beats Hopkins, and Hopkins beats Mt.
St. Mary's, and Mt. st. Mary's beats
Blue Ridge, and Blue Ridge beats
Loyola, and Loyola beats st. Johns
and then Maryland beats St. Johns
then Maryland will be champion by
the due course of elimination, and due
for all the honors and emoulents of
that high honor.
Most of the State colleges have
respectable nucleus to build upon, but
most Of them are dependent upon fall
enrollments for their new material,
and until a prospective athlete has
donned the moleskins and is out for
practice, the composition of the teams
is an uncertain quantity. 1t is not
likely the standing Of the teams will
be greatly changed from that of for
mer seasons. Maryland and Hopkins
generally appear the strongest, with
Mt. st. Mary's, Western Maryland,
Washington, st. Johns, Blue Ridge,
and Loyola following in order named.
1t now looks as if Washington will
rave the same dashing basket ball
quint that went through last season
without losing a single game. The
center, who was captain, is lost by
graduation, but Coach KILLER had last
season a host of reserve material and
he will likely turn out another cham
pionship five. Dumscholt, Carroll,
McGran, and Fiore do not need much
help to win; and if it is found that
none of these has slowed up, the CEN
ter position will not be much of a
problem. Last year Washington's
greatest victory was won with the
Navy. After this the Eastern Shore
euint seemed to slow up, and her next
three OF TOUR victories were by small
margins; but toward the last of the
season the team seemed to be speedier
than ever, and overwhelmed oppon-
ents as fast as they were met.

Cambridge News Gazette,
A California Indian has STATED

"Indtan" from official no;nencla-
ture and from American usage.
"lndian." he says. properly

American aborigines should be

SO far as the American InLians
are concerned. il is matter Of
sentiment. which perhaps few Of
them share. But there is a real
reason Of practical convenience,
also.
The American language has no
word for native Of India In
English. they are Indians" while
our native American race is called
Red Indians" or "American In

In America we are inclined to
call them "Hindus.' But d Hindu

"Worsc and worse" said Henry,
sticking his head out of the window.
That's no way to teach grammar.
Soup cannot smell finely or any
other way when it hasn't any nose.
But thank you for the compliment,

heart breaker. Now The Spaniard
has feminine London society prac-

AS the picture progresses, Dolores
learns that her latest conquest is
nothing but common bull-fightcr,
while The Spaniard, as a part Of his
plan to bring her to her senses. has
her carried Il captive to his castle in
the mountains. She attempts to cs-
cape and Don Pedro orders her to
her room where a scene, Of which
you have yet to sec the equal, takes
place. The Spaniard cows the girl
into submission with wicked look

harshness, consents to take Dolores
riding. The girl takes advantage Of
this opportunity to escape. But it is

pan into the fire, for she falls into

thing ends happily enough for all

from drudgery.
