Womnan ere ‘nsturally givee to self- denial. No one ever heard of “Jennie the Kisses.” ' Tw> elght-oared crews, the pick of the oarsmen of Yale and Harvard, will meet on the four-mile eoyrse on the Thames this (Friday) afternoon at 4 o'clock standard time, in the struggle for the blue ribbon of their 'annual regatta. Weather and tide permitting, the race ‘will be rowed on time, downstream, with the finish at the railroad bridge below the navy yard. Two races in the morning will furnish preliminaries to the big event of the af- ternoon. These will be rowed upstream, the freshmen race at 10 o'clock, stand- ard time, and the second varsity crews’ race at 10.30. Divided Honors Thursday. Harvard and Yale shared the honors In two preliminaries Thurslay evening. The undergraduates of Yale, substitutes of varsity and freshmen crews Who formed a combination eight, left a simi- lar Harvard combination half a length behind in a two-mnle race. The winners' time was 12 minutes, the losers 12.02. Graduates of Harvard proved better than those of Yale. Heavier men and untrained, they rowed only half a mile and took no time, but the result was decisive. Harvard won by a length and a quarter and gained the Herrick cup. Yale Wins Toss. ‘With their attention now on the Fri- day events, Yale's enthusiasts were con- fident of success Thursday night with the blue varsity eight that was the for-i lorn hope of a month ago. ('amam[ Steve Hord called the toss for cholce of course. As a result Yale will have the course along the east bank in all races today. Harvard men were no less confident. Captain McCagg said that if he had won the toss he probably would haye taken the west course anyway. Tt was not only a Harvard-Yale crowd that filled hotels and overflowed into lodging houses in New London Thursday night. College interest generally was joined with the more partisan enthusi- asm. Interest in the varsity race—the only one at the four mile distance among American college was exceptional, not- withstanding that each of the varsity crews in the race hag been beaten In the season's shorter prellminary com- tests, Test of Yale System. For the blue, the varsity race is ex- ed to be an important factor in de- ciding its rowing policy of future years and to test a varsity crew which its for- mer coach, Guy Nicka said lacked fighting epirit. With Nickalls gone back to England as a result of this eriti- cism and conuflict with Captain Hord, Stop-Gap Coach Iim Corderry was charged with the task of developing a winning crew. He shifted the blue eight about somewhat wWith apparent improve- ment. Harvard's Starboard Stroke. For Harvacd, the favorite, the race al- so has features otit of the ordinary. An eight of weight and power, the crimsen varsity nevertheless was unable until re- cently to make all the pull-together of which it was capable. Tt lacked rvthm, ite critics said. Coach Ha'nes shifted his men in search of a stroke. As a solu- tion of his problem he re-rigzed the shell and readjusted every place in the boat. Harvard will take the river with Apple- ton, its stroke, rowing from the star- board, the first time in 31 years that a MUSICAL PROGEAMME FOR FAMILY AT ALMSHOUSE The family at the 7lmshouse was en- joyably entertained Thursday afternoon by the local branch of the Connecticut Couneil of Catholic Women under the di- rection of Mrs, James L.

The revue has in- corporated in it many novelties, bn(h in musical and sceniv effects. The of the cighteen scenes are far bey anything ttat has played here at the popular prizes. The costumes are ela- borate and won!i do credit to many a higher priced performance. The cast and chorus are good and the musical numbers are catchy, belng pat across with a captivating snap. The principdls possess very good voices®and the daanecing numbers are exceptionally well executrd. Worthy of particular mention is the opening seene of the sec- ond ach, The Birth of Venus the scene is beautiiul and the lighting effects are good. Another pretty scene is that of ‘Wakiki Beach and the closing scene is ona that pleases. For comedy honors Charles Abbate in his Simple Simon role brought down the house it not helng so much what he said but his faclal exnressions or rather lack of expression.

JBLUE AND CRIMSON TO MEASURE BRAWN ON’ THAMES IN 3 RACES — e ————— Harvard crew has been so boated. Referee Meikleham had each crew out Thursday morning, instruciing them and telling them just what they are to do in the races. The referee, coaches, captains and offi- cials went over the course for a check on conditions, guidons and other details. The observation trains which were used at the Hudson river regatta Wed- nesday will serve the Yale-Harvard crowd. The trains wil. leave the New London station one-half hour before the time for the races to start. Pre-race excitement of the night be- fore variety was at a minimum in Nor- wich Thursday, although the Wauregan house wag booked full for the night, many of the bookings being of race day parties. Numerous Massachusetts auto- mobiles with the crimson banners of Harvard displayed on them were around the city in the evening, but the blue of Yale will not fully blossom'out until te- dya. This afternoon will see a general exo- dus from the city of the race enthusiasts who will seek positions along the river banks on each side, going down by au- tomobiles and trolley to reach their fa- vorite points of observation. Many mo- tor launches will also puff their way down the river from here to take posi. tions in the stream near the finish. YALE STATISTICS FIRST VARSITY CREW Weight Helght Stroke J.

There my any number of these buildings, there- fore a corresponding number of alleys The alleys vary from six to nine feet in width. They are common ground for passing, washing and playing for the children. Occasionally there is an op- en space where there has been a fire or a building removed, and here the little boys gather in crowds to play. A little girl is seldon seen at play, among them. The most miserable of all houses are the 2-story buildings. There is one in Otowa, north of Asakusa; one at Ryu- senj-machi, Shitaya, and one at Naka- nogo, Nagrishira-cho, Honjo. These story structures are nothing but mi: ery piled upon misery. The occupants are robbed of the sun, and the houses are wholly unsuited for the primitive way the people have to live and coeok their food|. There are two buildings in Fuka-gawa called tunnels, these are 1-storied shacks, but unlike the usual buildings with double rows of rooms they open into a common alley, which is under the rof. The rooms have their ceilings, but the alley is open to the rafters each little room of the buil ings is in reality a residence of a fam- ty. Perhaps the usual number of per- sons resident in each room is about four. In several instances the writer has found eight in a family, ANTIQUITY OF THE SAW The use of saws and crown drills with fixed teeth of corundum or gem stones for cutting quartz rock was the regular practice in Egypt 6,090 years ago. The cores produced were so per- fect and clean cut that any modern engineer would be proud to turn eut such good work with the best diamond drills. The saws were over eight fi long and cut granite blocks seven and one half feet long That splendid work was forgotten; the Romans did not use such tools and some thousand of year: passed before the same tools were re- invented 50 years age. The carpentier'’s saw was at first merely a blade roughly hacked on the edge; by 4500 B. C. it had regular teeth, sloping equally both ways; by 600 B. C. the Italians gave a rake to | the teeth make them cut in one direction, “instead of merely seraping as before. No ancient saw, however made a kerf wider than the thickness of the blade; we do not know when the saw that makes a wider kerf was invented, but is was some time in the middle ages. The Eqyptians used a push saw as the earliest form; the pull saw was the only one in the west and the Rom- an world. The push saw came back into use a few centuries ago, although the pull saw in a frame is still univ- annual outing of the New Lindon Coun- ty Mutual Fire Insurance company was held, with dinner being served at the Griswold.

Before the present highway frem St. Germain-en-Laye to Poissy and Meulan was built, the road, now abandoned, passed the Croix Pucelle. “This cross,” says its historian, Louis Catelain, “is of sandstone, a rude Gothic in style, rough- ly quarried and rugged in aspect.” It bears the Maltese cross, symbol of chas- tity, and above, in modern characters, the words “Croix Pucelle, 1456.” Thrown down during the revolution, it was raised again in 1801, at the time of the Con- cordat, and the stonecutter carved the Gothic inscription on it in his own way, a clumsy piece of work. The date 1456 is the year in which the Pope at Rome reinstated the hereine, who had been burned as a witeh. With- out doubt, it was to commemorate the act that the Maid's Cross was erected on this old roadside by Dunois. He was among the first to believe in Jeanne's mission. It was he who received her upon her arrival at Orleans, took her to his headquarters, found lodging fér her at the house of his paymaster, Jacques Boucher, fought on her side in all her Third Assistant Postmaster General ein, for his successful conduct of the | affairs of the fraterr . The evening closed with a dnnce from 9 to is'clock for the fraternity mem- bers amd their guests. FEthier's orches- tra rendered a pleasing program. The arrangements committee consisted of Benjamin Markoff, Louis Fox and Joseph Alexander. FEANK A. SISK ELECTED PHARMACEUTICAL PEESIDENT Frank A.

In the midst of his campaigns Dunois often went to Saint Germain whih he loved and where, in 1468, he died. He had lived in the casfle, there as a child, and later. had been a prisoner there for s year. Subsequently, he had recaptured the place from the Engiish. He used te hunt in the neighboring forest. In 1456, Dunois was the king’s lieutenant ang journeved frequently from the provesi- ship of Staint Germain to the captaimcy of Meulan. It is reasonable to suppose. therefore, that it was he, who in 1458, had the Croix Pueelle erected at the erossroads.—L/Tllustration, Paria Colors No Longer Procurable.
