SATURDAY
Nv MICHAEL J. FOSTER

BY MICHAEL j. FOo1EM
The Tigers will race M. I. T.
in a. dual regatta on Lake Car
nepie tomorrow. Tech has al
ready seen action twice, against
Columbia and Navy at Severn
and against Harvard on the
Charles.
judging by the speed shown by
the Engineers in their first two
tests, tomorr 1w's opener will be
no tea-party for the Tigers. Tech
has a junior varsity boat which
has already shown the way TO
Navy, Columbia and Harvard jay
wee Fights, and its varsity and
150-pound crews are also strong
outfits.
Only two of the Princeton var
sity oarsmep, and the coxSwain,
are veterans from the 1929 Tiger
boat. Fortunately for the Orange
and Black, the veteran sweep
swings are at the stroke and No.
Z oars.
John Clingerman, q 1877
FOUNDER. who set the pace
all through the 1929 season,
is 1T stroke again and Capt.
George Pease IL pulling the
No. 7 oar. And Robert Col.
mere, the mite with the
mighty voice, is handling the
tillers as steerSman.
Clingerman, as might be ex-
pected from his comparatively
light build, is not the most pow
erful oarsman in the Tiger var,
sity. But since he entered Prince
ton as a freshman he has been
stroking Tiger crews aid doing q
rhythmic job of it. There is little
chance of any Of the other oars
men displacing hin: at the stroke
position.
Captain PeaSe, who was both
cred with an infected hand
earlier in the season, Is turning
in another good job at his old
No. 7 position. He passes the
stroke back skilfully from Ginger
man, and his 100 pounds add a
lot of power to the drive in the
stern Of the boat.
Seated behind the captain are
Cooper Scheifflin a Groton School
graduate at No. 6; John Ruther-
ford, formerly of st. PaulS School
at No. s.; Harold Bauer, a Brook
Ign boy from Poly Prep, at No. 4;
James Sherman of the Blair
School, at No. 8: Willard West,
another Blair School product at
No. 2, and Harold Jones, Of the
Hun School, at the bow oar.

IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT HELD
TO BE LEGAL

That improvement District No.
of the Imperial Irrigation District
was organized and formed as re-
quired by law and is therefore a
legal body was the judgment OF
Judge Vaughn Thompson, handed
down in superior court here yes
terday afternoon.
The decision was made in the suit
of Donald j. Bell against the I'M
perial Irrigation District. in which
Bell sought to have the improvement
district declared illegal in order that
an assessment on property owners
within the district, levied by the IL
rigation district, should be revoked.
II was the contention of Bell that
the petition for the formation OF an
improvement district had not been
signed by the required number OF
property owners, and that the i'm
provement district and the assess
ment were illegal.
BY Judge Thompson's decision.
Bell took nothing and the Imperial
Irrigation District was directed to
recover its costs in the suit. A
stipulation made by parties to the
suit yesterday provided that Judge

LARGE NUMBER OF
DEAD LETTERS AT
CHRISTMAS TIME

Between 100000 and 1000 900
Christmas and New Years greeting
cards without return addresses were
received and destroyed at the dead
letter offices OF the government
last year, according to the local
postmaster.
This figure increases yearly and
last year total of more than $780,
600 was wasted by senderS of greet
ing cards. The cost of the cards
destroyed by the dead letter divis-
ion last year was between five and
25 cents each with an average cost
of at least 10 cents. Adding two
cents for postage. it is estimated
that the loss per card is l2 cents.
Failure of the senders TO place the ir
return addresses on the envelope,
resulted in a grand total OF $780,
900.
The monetary loss, according to
the postmaster, was Of less conse-
quence to the mailers compared to
the disappointment OF the address
sees in failure to receive expected
greetings from friends and rela-
tives.
IN addition to the financial loss
to the mailers, the handling o. Ln-
deliverable cards in the dead letter
service cost the postal department
approximately $4,000 i'll clerical

EXPERT HERETO
START INTEREST
in STRAWBERRIES

II. T. Lucas, representative OF the
Holly Rodd nursery Of Ontario, was
In Ell Centre yesterday conferring
with a number OF ranchers inter-
csted in growing Strawberries, III
regard to the new 6iakemore vari-
city originated by the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture.
This plant can be grown wher-
ever the Klondike or Missionary
variety is grown and is said to be
vastly superior. being particularly
adapted for commercial uses It is
more oval in shape, retains its
color better, is firmer for packing
and highly satisfactory for preserv-
ing.
Several growers are interested in
trying CIT TINS new variety which
is available at the Holly Rodd nurs-
cry, although Lucas points out
that strawberries, to be a success,
must be grown correctly and on the
light type Of soil.
In addition. Lucas showed q
number Of fine asparagus roots
grown at the nursery, which, he
feels sure have one superiority over
valley-grown roots in that they
will do better during the first two
years because they have been
grown in colder climates and have
a longer period of dormancy.
From El Centro, Lucas will so on
to Phoenix where there are several
large acreages devoted TO straw
