Did you ever wonder how college
colors were born? The crimson by
which Harvard is known was officially
adopted in 1875, but it was the dis
tinguishing mark of the teams for II
years before that. In 1853 DR.. Charles
w. Eliot sought some means by which
the Harvard crew could be recognized
among the others at regatta. So he
went to a store and bought supply
of bandana handkerchiefs for the oars
men to tie over their heads. He could
have had almost any color, but he just
happened to like red.
If you want to bet on something and
seek new ways of doing it, take trip
to Siam. Fights between tropical fish,
the same little Bettas which you keep
in your own aquarium, are frOnt-page
sports enterprises there. You need not
be afraid that your entry will be
thrown out for stalling, either. The
Beta will fight his own image in a
mirror when he cannot get anything
else.
incidentally, you would not be pull
ing nifty If you told a Siamese to go
fly his own kite. Contests between kite
flyers are leading form of speculation
and real skill is required. The object
is to tangIe the string of your kite in
that of your opponents so that his
entry is sent tumbIing to the ground.

The
Man Who
Knows
Whether the Remedy
You are taking for
Headaches, Neuralgia
or rheumatism Pains
is SAFE is Your Doctor.
Ask Him
Don't Entrust Your
Own or Your Family's
Well-Being to Unknown
Preparations

REFORE you take any prepara-
- ton you don't know all about,
for the relief of headaches; or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it in comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
So-called pain" remedies were adj
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
in and out without ill effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods yet DISCOVERED for the relief
of headaches and all common pains
:. and safe for the average person
to take regularly.
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store : simply by never
asking for it by the name aspirin"
alone, but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.

a single battle on our own land,

100000 of our young men across
the sea to engage in war some

not national defense, that is Of
