HOT OFF THE BAT
In the far West the diamond artists
have been wielding the bludgeon for
some time. Sixty-five men are turn
ing out for the California baseball
team and sixteen of these are pitchers.
The Tears ought to mahe a good
showing against Yale. Harvard, and
West Virginia on their eastern in
vasion this spring.
The Oregon Aggies have a stiff
Southern trip scheduled which will in
clude games with Stanford. Southern
California, and the l'orlland Coast
League Club, which is training in
California.
Montana, Idaho, the University of
Washington, and Whitman all report
Increased interest in baseball, and all
lour of these opponents will probably
meet each other on the diamond.
At the University of Denver a series
ol inter-frat games was played, which
gave Coach Koonsnian a fine chance
lo look over the material.
At the University of Colorado nine
leder men are in the buseball squad,
hit hiding rush, one of Colorado
preatest athletes, who returns to
school alter an absence of four years.
Howard tteresford Is coaching the
team. The schedule includes games
with the Aggies, Mines. Colorado Col
lege, and Denver University.
At the University of Chicago the
cmference schedule has been can
celled to permit the baseball team to
leave April 1st on its way to the
Orient. Games will fce played wilh
ihe Waseda and Keio Universities in
.lapan, and probably also games in
China and Hawaii. The Maroon nines
look similar frips in 1910 and 1315
Coach Tape has a "C" man for every
position on the team.
At Iowa the Hawkeyes have lined
up a thirteen game schedule but com
plain that the outlook is not the
brightest. Six of last year's players
were lost by graduation. Coach Ash
more is handling the baseball men.

which look like a combination of bath
robe and night gown, worn by the
men on the streets. In fact it is diffi
cult to distinguish men from women
at a distance except that the women
almost always wear black and the
men lighter colors. In a single block
one would see every stage of tran
sition from the very ancient style of
(lowing robe and turban to tho superb
and most correct style of the Kngllsh
gentlemen with -cane and monocle.
Many of the natives are adopting
Kngllsh dress with the exception of
the hat for which they substitute
feathered felt tarboosh, similar to the
Turkish Fez. and they also carry
canes and make very fine looking p
pie indeed. It is amusing to us to
see, also, quite a number of straw
hats, both on (he street and in shop
windows.
This section of the city is knowi
as the foreign quarter and covers a
space about ten blocks square, bor
dered on one Bide by the Nile, and
contains about 3.000 English speaking
people and probably as many others
from various parts of Europe, but
especially from France and 0 recce.
The native section crowds In on all
sides so that with one step you lind
yourself In narrow, winding streets,
with little or no sidewalks and mar
kets or bazaars lining both siilos.
One such street I will describe. We
entered it from the main street
through a narrow opening about three
feet wide, covered over with canvass
except where the balconies or lat
ticed windows of the second stories
of the houses met or passed each
ether, which of course shuts out both
air and sun and the filth Is indescrib
able. The bazaars are only tiny
rooms with the entire front open and
so much of their wares is out in The
street that here Is barely room left
.or people to pass along. This street
extends about a quarter of a mile and

In that distance we passed almost
every kind of occupation necessary to
man. In one little hole in the wall
two or three were weaving, using
toes as well as fingers, In the next
they were making shoes, In the next
grinding flour In great stone mortars,
in another making clothes and so on
as they go.
It was in the midst of scenes like
this that we came upon the far famed
University of El Azhar. About all
there is to it is a large open court
surrounded by an arcade with massive
pillars and arches, back of which are
large bare rooms con'a'.nin- r. f.v
lockers and plenty of sleeping space
on the floor. Another large space
corresponding in size to the open
court, but covered over with a roof
supported by many large columns
forms the sanctuary with prayer niche
and high pulpit. Most of the classes
are held in the open court. The prin
ciple course of study is the memoriz
ing of the Koran, which if completed,
takes about thirty years. Contrary tc
our expectation, the students, which
include all ages from mere children
to old men, cannot be distinguished
in appearance from the average grout
on the Btreet. The enrollment is sup
posed to be about 10,000" and women
are not accepted. One can hardly
imagine how this small and unimpos
ing institution can be so vital, no'
only In Egypt but throughout all ol
the Mohammedan world.
More about Cairo will follow.

The percentage of 1909 ficulty still
in service in the same inii'ution in
1919, is shown by a survey described
in the Washington State College
"Evergreen." In the ten co'leges and
universities investgiated, in all sec
tions of the nation, this percentage
ranges from 20 per cent for Wash
ington State College to 71 per cent
for Stanford University. The average
was 47 per cent.

Utilizing Nature's Power
ELECTRICAL energy generated by water
power has grown to be one of our greatest
natural resources and we have only begun to
reach its possibilities. It mines and refines our
ores, turns the wheels of industry, drives our
street cars and lights our cities and towns. The
power obtained from Nature saves many million
tons of coal every year.
At first the field of its utilization was limited by the dis
tance electricity could be transported. But soon research
and cngineiring skill pointed the way to larger and better
electrical apparatus necessary for high-voltage trans
mission. Then ingenious devices were invented to insure
protection against lightning, short-circuits, etc., which
cause damage and interrupt the service. And now all over
the country a network of wires begins to appear, carry
ing the magic power-
The General Electric Company, with its many years' ex
perience, has played a great part in hydro-electric develop
ment. By successfully co-ordinating the inventive genius
of the company and its engineering and manufacturing
abilities.it has accomplished some of the greatest achieve
ments in the production and application of electrical
energy.
The old mill wheel of yesterday has gone. Today the
forces of immense volumes of water are harnessed and
sent miles away to supply the needs of industry and
business and the comforts cf the home.
