That the day. of tramp athletes and special scholarship favor for prominent athletes is over at Yale was brought out forcibly by Milton Jennes. Milton explained that while a Yale coached team went on the field to win, yet if the game was lost the men were commended for the manner and skill of their play ing rather than the result of the score- box.
 Bill Ringenberger gave an ac-1 count of the requirements of Pratt Institute and emphasized the chance offered by that institution for good sound training at mod crate cost.

CITY PROUD OF
 HORSE HOTEL
Philadelphia Quarters ll6 Mares in City-Owned
 Stable

Philadelphia (UP)-The pride of the department of public works is its "horse hotel" where 116 city, owned and careful selected horses are quartered.
 "We have seven stablemen on duty constantly and we strive to keep our reputation of having the finest and cleanest city-owned stable in the country" ,Superin- etndent s. Armour McClay said.
 "We have our own blacksmith's shop located on the premises, and also our own harness shop. where a harnessmaker is kept busy re- pairing and renewing the har- nesses. Our wagons are kept in an open-air fnclosure back of the stable. They are washed regularly each week and painted three times a year. Each night they are covered with tarpaulin.
 'We pride ourselves on the way our horses are kept. They are groomed twice day and. the drivers are under order to take especial care of the animals.
 ''We also pride ourselves that we have upset the popular theory of rats being found wherever there is a stable. Our floors are concrete and the entire stable is swept out every day. In the sum- mer 1t is flushed out with a fire hose each morning. Tn the win- ter we do that three times week. No rat could burrow under here or make nest with that situa- tion."

SKIN ROAD
 TO AID ARMY
Will Aid British Opera- tiOns in Hostile Terri=
 tory Is Belief

London (UP)-A "skin" road is the latest device to be adopted by the British army to aid operations in hostile territory.
 This new method of mechan- ized high-speed roadmaking is characterized as the greatest mili- tary advance since the war. With its aid roads can be constructed on any sort of ground at the rate of eight miles day.
 A bitumen emulsion forms a hard skin over the surface of the ground that will make a roadway strong enough to bear an almost unlimited number of motor trucks. And it can be laid rapidly.
 In laying the ordinary road for hard usage, 1t Is necessary to pro- vide a foundation of large stones upon which is placed a surface of lighter metal. By the new method the process is made infinitely more simple.
 First of all the surface is scarf fled. A track is levelled off by means of grader, and the bitu- men emulsion is then mixed cold with the earth on the surface, forming the "skin." Requirements of labor, transport and water are minimized' by this new method which assures the maintenance of communications between any pun- itive force and its base, and does away with the necessity for rail- ways and other costly and difficult means of transportation.
