POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June
26.-Qead Mans Derby of the
water. the great Poughkeepsie
varsity race between the crews Of
Columbia, Washington, the Navy.
California, Pennsylvania, Syra.
cuse, Wisconsin, Cornell. and
Massachusetts, Tech will be rowed
late this afternoon through four
desperate miles until the mind Is
chaos and the heart is numb.
Sheer, raw courage alone will
span the final mile from the
railroad bridge on into the line
and, as they come heaving and
retching their way home, the
body will surrender it's dominion
and only the soul will rule. e..
Competitive sport knows no
greater show than this. Its
drama is so spontaneous, so
compelling. that 100000 peO-
pie annually crowd the foot
hills, the river craft and OBJ
ServatiOn trains and they
reVel in the reek and gore of
fine, young bodies, offered as
a sacrifice to school loyalty.
The freshman race of two
miles and the junior varsity event
of three miles will offer a prelude
to the big race, which is sched-
lIIaH for E.2n nJO1A1lr T7o 81
time. However, they promised to
start early last year and the only
result was that five crews finished
in the dark and four others
foundered with all on board.
Rough water. the great hazard
OF Poughkeepsie rowing, was re-
Sponsible for this fiasco and
again this afternoon wind and
wave may rise UP from nowhere
to addle calculations and discount
ability.
Columbia. the 1929 champion
that rode the welter of the course
last year like surf board. is not
presumed to be the best crew in
the race today. Yet Columbia will
start at Krum Elbow from the
outside lane, and. with a follow
ing wind, it might be in a posi-
tion to outroW the Navy and
Washington. the admitted con.
tenders. Washington. however,
will be in the No. lane, with
Navy two places removed at No.
6. and so the three favorites will
face conditions that won't be
greatly dissimilar.
The sentiment of the river
is that, everything being
equal, the Navy will win, with
Washington, the only unde-
feated entry in the race.
furnishing a rOusing second.
Columbia, they say, will not
do worse than third place
with California and Cornell
racing il out for fourth
money.
Syracuse, boating six of last
years winning freshmen, has q
great chance to make this
three-way fight, but Pennsylvania
and M. I. T., pair that has
been beaten by nearly everybody,
and Wisconsin, beaten by Wash
ington and Pennsylvania in it's
only races to date, are rated no
higher than the three rear places,

A victory for Grace, however,
will prolong things one more day,
as Tuesdays rained out game

have to be played. And if Grace
wins again it will move to even
terms with West Washington for
the lead necessitating a play-off
for what will be the first half

day is hoped for by West Wash

it's too warm to play such crucial

Mathew Pusey has been on the
sick list but is improving.
Work on the new building for the
Baltimore Trust Company, at Selby-
vile, has been started by the Thigh
man Meyer Company, architects and
engineers of Allentown, Pa. The last
several weeks have been occupied
by the excavation for the basement
of the new bank which is now COM
pleted, and the forms are now ready
to receive the concrete for the new
foundations.
The first concrete will be for the
! footings on which the walls will
rest. These footings will spread the
heavy weight of the building over
sufficient ground to support it with
out any settling. In determining
the size of the fOotings, support for
thousands of tons is required, and
nice calculations have been made to
determine just how many square
feet CT ground the footings must
cover to support these loads.
When the concrete of the founda-
tion walls is poured, and forms re-
moved, holes and pockets will be
seen, here and there, to accommO-
date the pipes and cOnduits which
must be installed later.
After these concrete operations
are completed, the skeleton structure
of steel will rise. The material for
this is now being fabricated in the
steel shops The drawings required
for each piece of the exterior stone
work are now being prepared. This
material will be cut and carved in
the stone shops and will follow the
steel, in the construction of the
building.
The Sunday evening service on
Mothers Day will be in charge of
the young people, under the direc-
ton of Miss Lindseth. The program
will consist of a duet and chorus
numbers, readings, story, and con-
gregational hymns all bearing on the
theme of the day.
Tickets are now procurable for
the Mother Daughter night to be OBJ
served by the Selbyville Group of
Churches at Ocean View on next Fri
day evening, May 18th. Each ticket
is twenty-five cents and will admit
two, mother and daughter. If you
don't have a daughter, look around
and borrow some girl for the even
ing who is anxious to go. Miss Lind
seth will appreciate it if any who
will have extra room in their cars
will get in touch with her as there
will be a number of mothers and
daughters, no doubt, who would like
to attend provided way. can be Sc
cured for them.

WE'LL TAKE TWENTY-FIVE
CARLOADS!

WITH the above statement of acceptance
a big deal was closed recently for the
purchase of single unit lot of glass
ware used by the HEART OF VALUE
Stores. There are over 600 of these
stores, of which ours is buying mem
Der.
This big order was not the largest one
placed by our buying headquarters by
any means, but it was the largest single
order ever received by the factory sup
plying the goods.
The particular item may be had from a
wholesale distributor by the dozen at one
price-by the gross at a less price-by
the thousand at still lower figure-by
the carload at a remarkably low quota
ton But, a single order for twenty-five
carloads commands the lowest possible
price obtainable.
By buying comparatively with the
HEART OF VALUE Stores, we obtain
the closest price. No chain of stores
nor mail-order houses buy for less. None
of them sell such merchandise for less.
We give you, OUR CUSTOMERS, the ad-
vantage of this purchasing power in in
creasing, better value, apparent through
out our store.
