The right sports clothes can
transform a shivery girl into a
hearty young woman who seeks
health and pleasure out of doors
in wintry weather.
The shivery girl usually hates
winter only because she won't
prepare for it. A nice brisk walk
against winter wind can't sound
attractive to a girl whose outdoor
costume consists of a thin crepe
dress, short fur jacket, high
heels and sheer stockings.
Yet sports things needn't be
expensive. You can limit your
purchases to two costumes and
still be warmly and smartly
dressed for the outdoor week.
end.
OF course. in a warmer cline
the costumes would be much
lighter and cheaper, but there
will be days anywhere in the
United States when warm cloth
ing is essential for comfort.
The first essential costume is a
three-piece city-country tweed
suit, consisting of a jacket, a skirt
with pleats for comfortable walk
ing. and topcoat. Down South
this little item will only be neces-
sary on rare days.
The other essential is a sports
suit which is good for many
things. These come at big and lit
tie prices. but for a small sum a
well-tailored navy blue gabar-
dine suit is probably the best
choice.
The same warm accessories can
be worn with both these COS
tunes when necessary.

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 a duplicate of
the 1853 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 1873. It consists of wool
en- skull cap, flannel trousers and
knitted jersey sweater.
First Submarine Pontoons
The navy department says that
the first use Of submersible pom
toons was in salvaging H. M. cruiser
Gladiator, British vessel, by the
Liverpool Salvage association, I'M
der Capt. Fred w. Young, in 1908.
In salvaging this vessel large steel
cylinders were fastened to the SUBJ
merged portion of the cruiser in
such a way as to increase her
buoyancy. The cylinders were built
of steel plates and bars and were IL
feet in diameter. They varied in
length from 40 feet to rs feet. The
cylinders were tested to Is pounds
per square inch. The outer skin
was sheathed with wood and the
ends were protected by collision
mating. These steel cylinders had
special valves to admit water for
the purpose of sinking them and
separate valves for the admission of
air to drive out the water when it
was desired to refloat them.

swers the same question. "Since
1882 fertilizer prices have been
fairly stable at a little below the
1910-1914 average" says the re-
port. Fertilizer prices, as a per-
centage of the 1910-1914 average,
are considerably lower than prices
of most commodities bought by
farmers. In fact, all commodities
are 16 per cent higher than the av-
erage, while fertilizer prices are 5
per cent lower"
The report continues: "New de-
velopments in science and technol-
ogy, such as the production of syn
thetic nitrogen, have reduced pro-
duction costs and prices.
