Capital Draws Blank
In College Activity;
Ball TiIfs Keen
Terps. Eagles on Road;
Hoyos Shut Out 6. w.;
Maryland Victim

In the wake.of two college baseball
games as well played as any WASH
ington likely will see all season, the
Capital was bare of collegiate activi-
ties today. And aside from participa-
ton in the Penn relays, only two local
ools-Maryland and American
Universities-were scheduled for out
of-town action.
The TerpS nine was to visit WASH
ington College and the Eagles to in
wade Western Maryland. Maryland's
lacrosse team was at Penn State.
In yesterdays games, Georgetown's
Bill Wixted blanked George Wash
ington, SO. ard Maryland wasted
Pershing Mohdbrff's 4-hit pitching
job by losing to North Carolina, O-2.
Wixted Complete Master.
Permitting nary a Colonial to reach
third and only two to advance as far
as second, Wixted set G. w. down
with five singles and only once did
two OF them some in the same in
nlng. Backing up Wixted in fine
style, Georgetown's infield came
through with three double plays to
keep the keystone sack free of traf-
fic. Wizsed's aid to the Hoyas didn't
stop with his pitching, the big right
handler in the second driving home
his teams second and third runs
with the first of his two Singles.
Toby Bright. G. WIS starting
hurler, got off to a bad start and
after yielding three runs and four
hits was replaced by Frank McGin-
mis-, who turned in rather neat
performance. McGinnis was blasted
for five hits and two runs in the
fourth and fifth, but thereafter
turned the Hoyas back in order,
retiring 10 straight from the fifth
inning on.

Blair Wins With Rally.

A five-run rally in the fourth won
for Blair. This was topped by a
home run with the bases loaded by
Outfielder Clark.
Able relief pitching by Joe Thomp-
son held Gonzaga after that, al
though the Purple managed to bag
single runs in the sixth and eighth
innings.

Composite Photography

There probably were earlier ex-
periments of composite and trick
photography, but the most notable
examples appeared after the assas-
sination of President Lincoln There
was a great demand for his pictures,
but there was none showing him in
the heroic postures which the Amer
lean people wanted. Earlier states
men had been painted in such poses.
So photographers took pictures OF
the posed, draped figures of such
men as John c. Calhoun and Henry
Clay and superimposed the head of
Lincoln. Currier & Ives had issued
a Autograph showing Lincoln's
deathbed scene with Vice President
Andrew Johnson present. After
ward, when Johnson became unpop-
ular and was impeached, the head
of General Halleck was substituted
for Johnson'S.

Three-Mile Limit

The idea of three-mile limit Of
jurisdiction off the coast was first
set down by Hugo Grotius, brill
liant Dutch lawyer, in 1903, in his
mare Liberum," wherein he OBJ
served that the sovereignty and
jurisdiction of any state extended
as far over the marginal seas "as
those who sail in that part of the
sea can be compelled from the shore
as if they were on land" A little
later Cornelius van Bynkershoek,
a judge Of the supreme court of ap-
peal of Holland, in his ''De Do
minion Maris Dissertatio," Caput II,
pages 1854, 1865, expressed Grotius'
idea by saying that the control Of
the land over the sea extends as
far as cannon will carry and that
''the control from the land ends
where the power Of mems weapons
ends"

Kerchief on Display at
Harvard as True Crimson

CAMBRIDGE.-Th official Har-
ward crimson kerchief, adopted in
1910 as the standard of the college
color and since kept on deposit in
university archives, is on public ex-
hibit at the Widener library.
The silk kerchief first was worn
by a member of Harvard's 1858
crew. Because of the distinguishing
"arterial BLOOD shade, similarly
dyed kerchiefs were worn in en-
suing races. In 1910 duplicate of
the 1858 kerchief was made and
adopted to "standardize the Grim
son."
Also on display is the football uni
form worn in the seasons of 1875,
1876 and 1877 by w. P. Lombard,
class of 1878. It consists of a wool
en- skull cap, flannel trousers and
knitted jersey sweater

Clusters Rugged Horse
To Get Beauty Treatment

Comanche, the rugged horse
which alone survived the Custer In
dian massacre of 1876. is going to
receive a set of beauty treatments
from Klauss Abegg, Swiss taxi
dermist.
The horse, feature exhibit in the
Dyche museum at the University Of
Kansas, survived the massacre of
Clusters regiment at the battle OF
the Little Big Horn without a scar,
but dust, rain and a leaking roof
combined to make the mounted ex-
hibit come apart at the seams.
Abegg said that the mounted steed
needed complete overhaul job
which includes stitching of the
cracked places in the hide and an
old-fashioned rundown to remove
dust and mold.
Comanche, veteran horse in the
Seventh cavalry, was returned to
the army outpost at Fort Riley,
Kan, after the battle and was ac-
corded military honors. Later the
animal died and was removed to the
museum here many years ago.

Psychologists May Solve
Mystery of War Feeling

Psychologists eventually may be
able to find the cause and cure OF
the present world turmoil and pro-
vide preventive measures for the fu-
ture, in the belief of DIR. George M.
Stratton, professor emeritus of psy-
chology at the University Of Cali
fornia.
Where the economist, the polit-
ical scientists and the historian
have failed in the analysis of a war;
clouded world, the psychologist may
find a practical solution he de-
clared.
In DR.. STATIONS opinion, the
human element is the predominant
ing one in world crises.
'Germany's destruction of Czecho-
Slovakia, Italy's work in Ethiopia,
and Spain, Japan's war after war
upon China and the war prepare
tons in leading countries today"
he said, 'are matters which come
within the field of psychology. They
must be studied, not only by econ
omiSts, political scientists and hlSto-
rians but also by those whose
specially is human conduct In the
light of the fullest understanding
possible, the cure ultimately may
be found"
DR.. Stratton is confident that die
tators have a human side and can
be made amenable TO other tactics
and forces than violence.
Occurrences of the time are
most dangerous and difficult, he
said, but not like earthquakes and
tornadoes, which are always with
out inner intelligence and purpose.
"LaWlessness in nations comes
from men who have passions, 1t is
true, but who also have loyalties
and human motives and have
learned something and can learn
something more. ..
There is widespread turmoil, but
also a widespread desire to end it
and prevent its recurrence. Man
has been successful in downing
many types Of violence which were
previously accepted by nations and
societies.
If we can find the answer as to
how the suppression of these vio-
lences was achieved, we can opti-
unsteady hope for still greater
achievements with nations, if they
deeply desire it, bringing their own
society out of chaos into order"

Origin of Pekingese

The origin Of the Pekingese dog
is lost in antiquity, but it is known
that these dogs were regarded as
sacred and kept closely guarded in

of the looting of the summer palace
in Peking. five of the dogs were
seized and carried to England,
where they became the progenitors
Of the Pekingese Of today.
