PAROCHIAL TRACK
 AND FIELD MEET
 DUE TOMORROW
Second Annual Event on at
 Hamilton Park = Junior ] Baseball Games Satur-
 day

The young athletes of eight pa. rochial schools of the city will gather at Hamilton park tomorrow afternoon at { o'clock to compete in the second annual Catholic school track and field meet sponsored by the recreation branch of the park department and under the direction of William J. Derwin. Eight events will compromise the program which will be supervised by James J.. Carr and J. Francis Roland, the latter, assistant coach of the crack Crosby track squad.
 All Get Chance
 The events have been so planned that the little fellows as well as the boys of the upper grades will have an equal chance of displaying their prowess. The schools which will participate are Sts Peter and Paul, St Francis, St Mary, St Thomas, Sacred Heart, St Joseph. St Margaret and St Anne. The opening event on the program which will start at 4 o'clock sharp is the 50-yard dash for boys II years of age and under. Then will follow the 75-yard sprint, closed to boys who are 12 and 13 years of age only. The 100 yard dash is the third race on the bill, and in this, the youngsters IA years of age and under will strut their stuff. The 220 event will be for the 14-year and over lads.
 The Events.
 The relay race Is sure to be the most interesting. Four boys. the fastest runners in each school, will take part in this event. Then there will be a broad and high jump. and last but not least, the baseball throw in which the ball players will toss for distance. The point scoring system is as follows: first place, rive points; second, three points; third, one point: relay race, 10 points.
 St Mary's won the championship last year due to the stellar per- formance of the Thompson brothers, Johnny and Tommy. The Cole street school lost these two youngsters by graduation last June, so the odds tomorrow will be on Sts Peter and Paul or Sacred Heart, which schools have several big fellows to count upon.
 Junior Baseball.
 Four more games are scheduled for Hamilton park Saturday morn.- ing in the Junior parochial school league which Johnny Thompson's St Mary nine is now topping with two straight victories. St Anne's and St Joe's both making their debut last week, won their games and are close at the heels of the Cole streeters. The schedule for Satur- day is as follows:
 At Hamilton park:
 No 1 at g o'clock-St Mary vs St Joseph.
 No 9 at 9, o'clock-st Francis vs St Anne.
 No 1 at 10:30 a. m.--St Margaret vs Sts ePter and Paul.
 No 2 at 10:30 a. m.-St Thomas vs Sacred Heart.

Harris, great second baseman when in his prime with the Wash- ington Senators, has been condition ing himself daily and unless the Tigers start winning probably will return to the lineup although he has taken part in only a few games the last two seasons.
 Hard Luck.
 Injuries to Dale Alexander and Charles Gehringer, youthful first and second basemen, respectively, are held accountable for Detroit's poor showing although the pitching staff has been more or less cratic. With Alexander and Gehringer., two of the best hitters on the club out, Harris has shifted Owen, short stop to first, with Koenig at second,

The scoses of the match were 6-4, S-6. Smith pressed the rangy New Yorker all the way but just failed of nosing him out in each set.
 Plenty of Class.
 Judging by the play of yesterday, Marcel Rainville and J.

WHY
Indians Have Represents ton in Maine Legislature

The lower house of the legislature of Maine always includes one repre-
 sentative each from the Penobscot and Passamaquoddy Indian tribes. These tribes, which constitute the only i'm portant bodies of aboriglnes remaining in New England, are remnants of the once powerful Abnaki confederacy and altogether they number only about 800 or 900 souls at the present time. The Indians are given representation to safeguard their tribal rights, and the two Indian representatives in the leg isature are permitted to speak only on matters connected with the affairs of the Indian reservations, their func- tion being comparable to that of dele gates in congress from federal terri tories. For the most part the Penob- scots live at Oldtown on an island in the Penobscot river above Bangor, while the Passamaquoddies reside In two groups, one at Peter Dana's Point and the other at Pleasant Point, both being near PassamaquOddy bay In the vicinity of Perry. The revised stat. utes of Maine, Chapter 319, Section A., provide: "On the first Tuesday of November, eighteen. hundred and eishty-four and biennially thereafter. the Penobscot Indians shall hold their election for the choice of governor and lieutenant governor of said tribe, and a representative to the legislature of this state. The agent of said tribe shall give notice of the time and place, seven days before said day of election, by posting notices thereof, one at his office and one in some conspicuous place on Old Town island. Said agent shall receive, sort. and count the votes given In at said election, In presence of the members of the tribe, and shall give to those elected certificates there Of.' Section 8 contains similar pro- visions for an election held by the. agents at Pleasant Point and Peter Dana's Point for the selection of a member of the legislature to represent the Passamaquoddy tribe.-Pathfnder Magazine.

Why Presence of Water
 Is Vital to Humanity

The quantity of water required for the support of one human being is about 5000 tons per annum. A man drinks less than one ton in a twelve month. but in that length of time he eats 400 pounds of food. It takes two tons of water to grow the grain for making q one-pound loaf of bread.
 It is not extent of territory, but wa ter supply that determines the number of human beings a given area can maintain.
 What is a desert? It Is usually an area we'll suited for the production of food crops, barring the fact that It lacks water. Owing to this lack, 1t cannot support population. No wa. ter, no crops; no crops, no people. All vital processes are manifestations of the presence of water.-Louisvill Courier-Journal Magazine.

Why Air Bubbles on Pond

When the raindrops are quite large as they are near the beginning of cer- tain showers, they fall into q body of water with sufficient force to drag aft CT them, as small pebbles do bubbles Of air, which are entrapped by the closing water above.

Why Rainfall From Sky

Doctor Humphreys of the weather bureau has presented an explanation in which he states that the actual falling of rain results from the fuct that additional condensation takes place on the drops of water already formed and suspended In the cloud. They grow in size and become too heavy to be retained In the air and fall down as rain.

The Alaska employees and others of the Department of the Interior have had their travelling expense allowances reduced one dollar per day, with the admonition that trav- el should be kept to mini mum. The reduction is from seven to six dollars and from six to five dollars. If they trav- el on the smaller sum they are not required to submit an item ized expense account, which is required when they choose the higher allowance. A similar order was recently made by the Department of Justice.

 The possibility of the Gov ernment doing anything to de- lay the establishment of paper and pulp mills at Juneau, ketchikan and possibly other points, is not regarded as even a remote probability. It is expected that with the re- turn of business readjustment the different parties investigat- ed the projects at great cost will be ready to complete their arrangements and start actual construction. As the forests in Alaska are ripe for cutting and considerable cost is involved in deterioration due to delay, the Forest Service of- ficials feel that postponement would be detrimental.
