BOWED WITH CRACK
 COLUMBIA CREW OF 1901

Maxwell Stevenson learned rowing not from 8 committee boat but from the waist of Columbia varsity shell.
 At Poughkeepsie, the crew on which he was No. 6 in 1901 pushed Cornell to a record of IS minutes, 53 Is seconds. The mark stood until 1928, when the California Olympic champions stroked by Pete Donlan cracked 1t with a super performance that left the '28 Columbia outfit half-length astern.
 Stevenson headed for the wide open spaces following his graduation from Columbia in 1902. Developing mining properties, he has travelled over most of the world . is as much at home in Dutch Guiana, Venezuela or elsewhere in South America as he is at the Meadow Brook club, where he played polo and rode in Steeplechases as young man.
 But e has virtually given what part of his life could spare from his business to rowing. He became chairman of the Columbia Graduate Rowing Committee IS years ago. In 1923, e was named chairman of the Poughkeepsie Board of Stewards, which is in charge of the direction of the regatta.
 That means co-ordipating things with Poughkeepsie city officials, sec ing that crews have proper accom- modations in boat houses and living | quarters, that all necessary race offl- cials are on hand, that crews reach the starting line at the scheduled | time, that stakeboatsl are ready at the start, and seeing that g thousand and one other details are, set, so that the scramble may be turned over to Referee Julian Curtiss with everything ready.

MUST CONSIDER COACHES AS WELL AS SPECTATORS

Some officials are on the water, some ashore. Spectators, insistent on getting all times as quickly as pos sible, are ashore on the hanks or on the long observation train, or on the water. Communication between wa ter and shore sometimes is difficult.
 The crews. in slim, 60-foot shells weighing less than 300 pounds, are ter. They have trained for months at the mercy of wind and rough wa for this 20-minute ,all-important test. The race is primarily for them. not the spectators, who pay nothing unless they ride the train. Conditions must be as nearly perfect as possible.
 As an old oarsman, Stevenson sees the point of view of the oarsmen. But he also realizes the spectators have some rights. Coaches ideas as to good water conditions sometimes vary. Some are worried less by slightly rough waters than others.
 All of which makes the Poughkeep-

REGATTA IS ONE OF
 SPORTS CLASSIC EVENTS


 But at Poughkeepsie, all the rest of the major eight-oared varsities of this country row every year in four-mile test from Krum Elbow to the finish opposite Poughkeepsie.
 The show takes its place alongside the Kentucky Derby, the Army-Navy football game, a heavyweight cham pionship prize fight and the world series.
 Maxwell Stevenson is chairman of the Board of Stewards of the Inter collegiate Rowing Association. Co., lumbia, Pennsylvania, Cornell, Navy and Syracuse are the members which invite other crews to race.
 California, Washington, Wisconsin, Princeton and M. I. T. are the eights asked to compete this year. Califor- mia and Washington long since have become fixtures, although still off, cially guests.
 Since 1881, Pacific coast stalwarts, either those of California or Wash ington, have won every varsity race at Poughkeepsie save in 1888, when Navy brought the honors back east. In '32, '34, '35 and 30, it was the Golden Bears. In '36 and '37, it was the Huskies.
 They turn out big crews out there on the golden slope. They get on the water early round into shape while eastern contingents are still battling ice.
 But still the doughty customers, of whom Maxwell Stevenson is one of the doughtiest, insist they can beat the far west. Columbia nj '27 and ,29, Navy in '28 and '31, and Cor nell in 30 proved the boys from the other side of the continent can be licked.

Poughkeepsie Regatta Tops In Stage Direction Under Maxwell Stevenson
NEW YORKER STAYS BEHIND SCENES IN HANDLING DETAILS
 OF ROWING CLASSIC
Second of . series of 12 stories on "The Biggest Sports of All"
BY HARRY GRAYSON lNEA Service Sports EditOr)

New York, Feb. 20.--Maxwell. Stew enson is the man behind the scenes in as big a sports spectacle as America sees annually-the Pough- keepsie Regatta-put on every June on the flowing stage of four miles of Hudson River water in the lee of the Palisades opposite the little city af- ter which 1t is named.
 Yet a great majority of the thou sands of spectators who come from miles around and who know all about the coaches, the weights of the sweep swingers, the records of the eights all the details-rever heard Max well Stevenson's name.
 But without Maxwell Stevenson, the Poughkeepsie Regatta. without question, would not be the blue rib- bon event of intercollegiate rowing that it is, with crews from east and west competing in the greatest row. ing event held anywhere.
 The Poughkeepsie race, which has been staged annually with the excep- ton of the war period and of a one- summer lapse in 1883, was first rowed in 1895. It is the only four-mile in- tercollegiate race rowed anywhere in which more than two boatloads go to the post.
 Oxford and Cambridge paddle four and a quarter miles, from Putney to Mortlake, on the Thames in London. Harvard and Yale row four miles, from Bartlett's Cove to the Railroad Bridge, on the Thames in New Lon- don.

MAKING FRIENDS

I'm this world you must make
your own way. To do this you must
have friends. You can make
friends by being honest, and you
can keep friends by being stead
fast. You must keep in mind that
friends worth having will in the
long run expect as much from you
as they give you.
ITO forget an obligation or to be
ungrateful for a kindness is a base
crime. In personal conduct be al.
ways polite but never obsequious.

ALLISON OF IOWA

EIRST honors for coming close"
Il to the presidency, althoi gh he
is minus even the standing of an
'also-ran," mus be awarded Viii
liam B. Allison of Iowa.
AllisOn's doubtful honor came to
him at the Republican convention
of 1888, which ended finally with
the nomination of Benjamin Harri-
son, later elected President.
Delegates to the convention had
balloted Intellectually for several
candidates when four-hour recess
was taken to permit 4 counting of
noses. Delegates from New York,
Illinois, California, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Iowa
and Missouri, went into conference
Representatives from each of
these states were practically en-
powered to act for the entire state
delegation. Senator Hoar of .Eass-
achusetts spoke in favor of ALI
son OF Iowa after several OF the
candidates had been discussed. Ii
was finally agreed that Alhson's TT
ness for the high JOB was apparent
and that he should get the support
of the comforting states.
New York state ad been repre-
senteo, however. by only three OF
its four delegates-at-large. The
three who agreed on Allison. failed
to reckon with their absent col
league, Chauncey Depew, the
rapier-worded banqueteer.
Depew was president OF q rail-
road at the tine. He had been
supported as a candidate but was
forced to withdraw because of
farm belt opposition to the rail-
roads. Much of the opposition to
him had come from Iowa and so
he turned thumbs-down on Allison.
Subsequent events proved that if
Depew had not baked, the con-
ferring states would have nominal
ed Allison and he would have been
elected President In place Of Har-
riSon.
The ironical part of this personal
catastrophe is that Allison's stature
measured fully as high as the Job
demanded. He had moved out to
Iowa as a young lawyer, served
eight years in the lower house of
congress and, beginning i'll 1872,
was a United States senator from
the Tall Corn state for an unbroken
period of IS years

PROTECT CHILDREN
AGAINST DISEASES
Keep Child From Other
Youngsters With Meas
les, Mumps, Etc.

Keep your children away from
other youngsters who have coughs,
colds. measles, humps. whOoping
cough, or any of the other catch
ing diseases if you want the chill
dren to stay WELL" comes as a bit
of seasonal advice to mothers.
from Dr.. r. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health.
It's a mistake he continued.
to think that the children will
have to have these diseases at
some time, so they may as well
have them and have it over That
notion had to be given up long ago
when it was found that nearly all
of these diseases are not only very
hard on young children, but that
they may leave some serious after
effect.
There is always danger that
the catching diseases diseases
due to some sort of infectiOn-mav
leave some permanent damage. 1t
may be TO the eyes, weakening the
vision; or to the ears, SO that the
hearing is affected; or to the heart
the kidneys or to some other part
of the system. For all of these rea-
sons, it is wiser and safer to pro-
tect the children in every way pos
sible against such diseases.
Very often the damage is not
noticeable at first but shows up in
later life when ii becomes very
serious handicap. For example -
much of the heart disease that oc-
ours among growing girls and boys,
among young people and even in
older ones, can be traced to illness
rs from infection diseases in
childhood.
you can protect your children
against such avoidable illnesses
and possible handicaps, in several
ways. Here are some of them:
First: Develop their resistance
to disease by intelligent care, pay
ing special attention to proper
food. fresh air and plenty of rest.
Second: Keep them away from
all people - grOwn-ups as we'll as
children who have any sort of
catching disease.
Third: Take them to your doc
tor regularly, while they are well,
for careful checking up and for
advice as to ways by which they
can be kept we'll. Do this for the
the older children as we'll as tor
the younger ones. In that way I'M
favorable conditions they may
have developed, can be detected
while they are in the early stages,
and before they become a srious

- When Matthias Hammond built his
house, architects, as such were prac-
tically unknown. Gentlemen OF
means and culture saw to the details
of the construction of their homes
themselves. After a grand tour OF
Europe and a visit to the glories
that were Greece and Rome they
would return home to plant their
own homes. This rough plan would
be given to some one to draw" and
the builders drawing was often far
from accurate. The final result de-
pended almost entirely on the work.
manship of the builder for construc-
ton and the taste and discernment
of the owner for detail. Mr.. Ham
departed from this custom and
induced William Buckland to come
to Annapolis to supervise the build
ing of his house
William Buckland was probably
the first real architect in this coun-
try. After years of apprenticeship
in England he could draw most &C
curate and detailed working plans.
He had an understanding of propor-
ton and design that was genius and
he could carve in wood with amaz-
ing skill and inspiration. He was
given free hand in Mr.. Hammond's
house as probably no architect has
even been before, or since.
Each room is designed and dec
GRATED individually according to its
proportion and use, and each room
is as perfect as one could ever wish.
Even the basement at the Ham
-Harwood house is a work of
art.
This house was built for all time
and should never be permitted to be
destroyed. How sad that the woman
who inspired it was not aware of
the beauty she was creating and did
not know that it would exist long
after she was forgotten!
