PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-The
city tingled with excitement today
as football forces of Army and Navy
trained sights on their annual gold
braid classic.
Encamped at suburban country
clubs, the rival contingents staged
dress rehearsals-each grimly con-
fident of winning tomorrow's skir-
mish on the dyed greensward of
Municipal Stadium.
Downtown hotel lobbies began
swarming with the vanguard of the
100000 persons who are expected to
see the game.
Spectators Are Glum.
Every one seemed bursting with
good spirits save the spectators.
They were glum over the dictum
that tickets sold at more than 81 40
each would be turned down at the
gate.
Resorting to such subterfuges as

The use of limestone and triple

VISION Of the agricultural conserva-
ton program in the first five
months of 1899 have already far eX-
ceeded the total for the entire twelve
months Of 1888 Last year, growers
used 95l tons in earning soil-build-
ing payments. while so far this year
they have applied for 2,l24 tons
The applications for ground lime
stone are also on the increase, the
Triple-A official pointed out. In
1888, growers applied $1,000 tons to
their cropland in cooperating with
the conservation program. This
year, they have applied for 38,410
tons under the grant-of-aid provi-
sion. In addition, the amount of
lime bought privately and through
the IVA demonstration program in
Western North Carolina probably
amounts to more than the grant-of
aid applications.

Director Handy wasn't appointed
until mid-year in 1898; he did not
line up his personnel until about
September |: and then he found the
quarters (three small rooms in To-
cal hotel too small to permit estab-
lishment of anything resembling an

of the States red brick" building,
where it is now located and where
it will stay only until completion of

Up on that top floor there has been
accumulated almost all the equip
ment needed for a top-flight crime
detection agency. There are micro
scopes of all sorts and descriptions
with which Firearms Specialist j.
w. Powell can determine whether a
bullet was fired from a certain gun.
Identification Expert Melvin c.
Hoover (once in the FBI bOssed by
his namesake, Edgar) can compare
finger prints to his hearts content,
and with the newest devices for so
doing. Documents can be subjected to
all sorts of tests to determine their
authorship or authenticity. Hairs can
be tested to see whether they came
from the head of certain suspect or
from another There's everything the
scientific sleuth can want in doing
his sleuthing.
And so Agents Oscar Adkins, Guy
Scott and Harry R. Paul can gather
evidence in the field, send it into
Raleigh and soon get the benefit Of
the soundeSt and best results Of
scientific research.
That these men have been as sue
cessful in their field as the famed
FBI operatives is evidenced by
scores of convictions all over the
state and by scores of letters from
solicitors, judges and sheriffs attest
ing that these convictions came
through State bureau efforts.
The bureau enters cases only when
requested by local authorities or up
on specific direction Of the governor
under whose direct command it now
operates. After July l it will become
part of the new State Department of
Justice, with the attorney general as
its big boss, but Director Handy says
there will be little but nominal

about girls. They were weak, vague, inscrut-

best OF them If there was any hidden good

five consecutive home runs or you might not
have done anything but mend a girls scooter
