New Haven, Nov. 23.—Yale prac- tically completed its work for the| annual football game with Harvard, by a long signal drill and a ten min- ute scrimmage yesterday afternoon. | All the players except Bonseisler and Gallaher took part in the scrimmage. Coaches Sanford and Shevlin fol- lowed the play closely and instilled more snap in the team than has been seen this year. Trainer Johnny Mac- key said last night the men are on edge for the game Saturday and there were no cripples. Even Cast- les who was hurt in scrimmage ear- lier in the week got in the line-up today. The Harverd back field men and ends, accompanied by a number of coaches, had several hours practice closed gates. After practice the men ! were taken for an automobile ride, before leaving for New London, | where the Harvard squad will re-! main until a few hours before the; game. i -Yale and Harvard have played 0] to O scores for the past two years. “FOR OLD ELI” SCORED 1‘|_|= BIG SUCCESS LAST NIGHT (Continued from first page). Mater and the excitement of a big| meet. Play Showed Good Coaching. ! i Mi Marjorie Knappen, instructor| glish and elocution in the high| school, must be given the credit for the smooth gearing of the produec-; tion. Her own personality and ta1-§ ent shone through each part and it was only after weeks of hard work which resulted in a nervous break- down Wednesday, that the play was ready for an audience. To one who has never tried to coach a play and who knows nothing of the constant discouragements which arise, Miss Knappen's work it not so evident; but those who have tried appreciate the effort it must have taken to round out a finished production. She was assisted materially by the mem- bers of the high school faculty. But a coach is not the caste and without real talent with which to work Miss Knappen could have done little. A. E. Nelson, Al Neuman, Earl Carson, James Malone, W. Z. Robinson, and Hiram Simons put in- to their roles more talent than the writer has seen in many University productions. The usual mistakes were so successfully covered that those who were not familiar with the play knew of no errors. As a “Pro- fessor,” Hiram Simons portrayed a type not usually found but which was excellently played and which furnished much humor.

Premier honors among the girls are as hard to give as among the men. There was no outstanding star as each was cast in a sphere of its own and each had a fundamental place to fill Mrs. Nelson, Gladys Stanton, Flora Todd, Vera Backus, Edith Ryan and Dorothy Torrance were gowned and hatted in style and it was no effort for the men to make love to them. Secondary Support Convincing. The secondary support fell to Wil- bur Lycan, Leon Battles, Delbert El- letson, .George Graham, Orville Ti- tus, Claude Melver, Alex Cameron, Harold Hayner, and A. D. Bailey and they put more life into the play than secondary actors usually do. It was the large size of the cast that made the coaching and general effort of production so difficult. But one blot appeared on the ’scutcheon. Chairs were placed in the aisles and with a packed house is caused unfavorable comment. Had a fire broken out last night, one overturned chair might have - been the cause of many deaths. It is hard enough to clear any theatre in case of fire but with chairs in the aisles, been impossible. Standing or placing chairs in the aisles of a theatre is = forbid- den by a state law; but even if not, the risk is too great to warrant the few extra dollars. The matter has been taken up with Mr. Brinkman and assurances given that the aisles Doors will be open at 7 p. m. to- night and the first curtain will rise at 7:30. Between the acts, a series of moving pictures and illustrated songs will furnish entertainment for the audience. Eastern “Mining Promoters.” Seven natives at Dacca, India, were recently convicted of swindling wom- en by pretending that they had the supernatural power of causing money depcsited with them to be doubled in value in three days' time. NOT SUCH A GREAT AMOUNT|MATTER FOR CAREFUL INQUIRY “Worth One’s Weight in Gold” Hae Been Accorded Altogether Too Much Significance. You often hear of a man or a wom- en or an object of some sort that is proclaimed to be “worth his (her or its) weight in gold.” Did you ever stop to figure out what your weight in gold would be? Or your sweet- heart’'s? Or your baby’s? Or your favorite pipe’s? You can do it—ap- proximately. The value of gold fluc- tuates. Usually it runs in price some- where between $19 and $20 and ounce. Let’s take the latter amount. It's eas- {er to figure with. Gold is weighed by troy weight, twelve ounces to the pound. In other words (at $20 an ounce) $240 a pound. Do you weigh 150 pounds? Then your weight in gold is about $36,000. (The “capital- ization” of a man who gets an $1,800- a-year salary.) Is your girl's weight 110 pounds? She is worth only about $26,400. Nearly $10,000° less than yourself, though you probably won't acknowledge it—to her. If your pipe welghs two ounces its weight in gold is $40. Your 10-pound baby is worth only $2,400 in gold. So you see ‘“worth its ‘weight in gold” is not such exorbitant praise after all. Next time tell her instead that she is worth her weight in radium. Wanted ‘It Anyhow. There recently sought the services of a dentist a ‘quaint young Swede, who, at the urgent insistence of his newly-acquired wife, came to “get his mouth fixed.” There were a number of teeth toa far gone to be filled. - Accordingly, these were extracted, and then the dentist made an appointment with the Swede for further sittings, when the filling would be done. Instead of leaving the office Olaf hung about expectantly. “Is there something more you want done?” finally asked the dentist. “Vell, I dunno,” said Olaf, looking doubtfully at the ceiling. “I tank may- be I like leedle gas. My meesis tole me I hov to tak some for my toots. Eef she don’ hort too moch I tank maybe I better hov about twanty-fi' cants wort’.” FREE for Six Days It’s a New Creation Oh, Yes While you're getting this free package, better secure a 50c package of Trailing Arbutus Complexion Cream Contains Peroxide of Hydrogen. S | Japanese Minister’s Diffidence in Pres ence of Emperor Is Cause of Funny Break. The late emperor of Japan was rol garded with the greatest veneration by his subjects, and this attitude of awful reverence was maintained alsa by his ministers, in spite of the fact that affairs of state made it necessary for them to see him and converse with him very frequently. One of these ministers, the Marquis Matsugata, used to experience agonies of nervousness every time he had an audience of his sovereign, and he was never able to say anything "distinct’ in reply to him except the set phrase, “I shall have careful investigation made, your majesty.” This generally brought him safely through a short audience, but one day, unfortunately, the emperor conde ecended to discuss the marquis’ morg private affairs, “How many children have you?” the emperor asked. Back came the inevitable phrase, *tr shall have careful investigation made, your majesty!” The story loses nothing from the fact that the marquis had a very large! family indeed. HOTEL MODERNITY IN CHINA Hostelry in Shanghal Is Equipped With Baths, Radiators and Open Plumbing. The opening of the new Chinese hotel in Shanghai, the Mong Yuen Y.ee Tzar, was celebrated recently by a banquet, the New York Sun states, The Mong Yuen Lee Tzar is the most up-to-date Chinese hotel in China. It fs built of red brick with dark wood trimmings and is airy and sanitary. The building surrounds an open court with balconies around at each floor, so that there are no inside rooms.

The hotel is four stories high and has 82 rooms, including the suites, com- prising a bedroom. sitting room andi bathroom. The building covers a mow and a half of land, which cost 30,000 taels. The entire property fur nished cost $80,000. : Bees Llke Mineral Water, For the tenth successive autumn a mineral water factory at Cardiff, ‘Wales, was recently invaded by bees, which come in huge companies. All through the week the cloud of bees in- ! crensed in dimension, and at the end of the week the “avalanche” was a record. The firm have consulted local beekeepers and experts, but no one can say where the bees come from, although beekeepers in the neighbor- ing suburbs state that they have lost large numbers. Bee experts say they may come from many miles around. The remarkable thing is that al- though this one particular factory has been honored by these armies of vis- itors for ten years two mineral water factories quite near at hand have been left severely alone. Another! curious thing is that the bees come every morning as soon as day breaks and depart when the sun does down. They do not deliberately sting, but some employes have been stung through catching hold of some uten- sil upon which bees have fastened. Small Clue to Crime. A mysterious St Petersburg crime has just been solved by means of a trousers button. Some days ago the police found the bodies of a well-to-do couple named Andrejeiff lying near| the Ntekaja railway station, bear- ing unmistakable evidence of having been stabbed to death. The wife was known in the district on account ot the valuable Jjewelry she wused to wear, and the jewelry was missing when her body was found. No clue to the identity of the murderers could be found except a trousers button, which was lying near the bodies, but as this button was similar to those| used for a certain uniform a search| was fnstituted. This led to the dis- covery of a man in the One Hundred and Forty-sixth Infantry regiment whose trousers were minus a button, and on being accused of the crime he immediately confessed. Get Even With the City Fellers. “Now and then,” said Tobe Sagg of Goshkonong, “there comes over us small town fellers a low, febrile yearn- ing to go to Kansas City for the pur- pose of hunting up total strangers with whom to match our hard-earned dol- fars, the merry game invariably result- Ing in our finding ourselves with a hectic head, no money left and an alk pervading realization that we have made gosling-green fools of ourselves, This is very similar to the craving that overtakes the city man, once in so often, to quit his comfortable offica and buy expensive hunting tools and outlandish raiment, and hie him down here and tramp his legs off in the worst weather of the season and drink large quantities of 40-rod whisky and sleep on beds of pain and get fined for trespass and contract the rheumatism and age perceptibly, and all for a few measly zoological or or- nithological specimens that he could buy at the market for $1.35. Still, looking at it dispassionately, it ’pears like a beneficent arrangement for keeping the per-capiter equitably ade justed.”—Kansas City Star.
