AtKiUAL BOAT RACE

Between. Cambridge and Oxford Held Tomorrow.

LONDON, March 29 The usual liveIjr Interest is manifested among all classes In the annual eight-oared boat race between the Oxford and Cambridge vanity crews, which is to be rowed tomorrow over the ' historic Thames course from Putney to Mortlake. . Hundreds of lovers of aquatic sports, with a liberal intermingling of the betting fraternity, lined the river banks today to watch the final practice work with a view to forming conclusions on the relative form of the two crews. The Oxford men are good favorites, but the Cantabs have the advantage of weight and some of the critics believe they may be able to wear down

their opponents in the latter part of the race. The general opinion, however. Inclines heavily in favor of the

Is the finish In the two boats. It Is pointed out that the Oxford finish is hard and clean, while the Cambridge finish Is not nearly so good. The first boat race between the Oxford and Cambridge university crews took place at Henley as long ago as 1811. Since the early '50s the race has been rowed every year without an Intermission on the course from Putney tot Mortlake. Of the sixty-eight races rowed Oxford has now won thirty-seven while Cambridge has secured thirty, with a dead heat in 1877. The early struggles between the Dark Bluea and the Light Blues were under the. most primitive conditions. Sliding seats were used for the first time In 1873, but out-riggers of a kind were Introduced as far back as 1846. In 1846 Oxford won the race on a foul, and ten years later received another bloodless victory, the Cambridge boat having sunk.

"Lots of girls get that microbe." said the cynic, "but it don't last long." "Say 'doesn't' not 'don't,' " corrected Sal. "I love my lapses but oh you school teacher!" deployed the cynic.

"Stop calling me names!" cried Sal. "Names! Why you ought to be

proud of it," smiled the cynic. "It is a great, an honorable profession. Therefore why do school teachers all want to side-step and pretend they are oth

er people by the same name."

"It isn't that." said Sal. "We hate

to be tagged and labeled all the time. We're human beings like anybody else.

We don't object to our professional haloea in hours. But we hate to have 'em hanging over our eara and cocked

over one eye between times."

"Between times you just want to be women, eh!" "Certainly not girls!" "Ha!" aaid the cynic. "But its the truth," he continued, "that thy heart is ever young, my Sal!"

"They must be women," said the cynic, "men don't do things like that." "Don't they!" cried Sal. "I guess yes. Sam Smiley did the other evening at a party some one introduced him to me and he said 'oh, yes, I used to go to school to you!' "When the fact is he is two years and a half older than I am and stayed in the same grade for about seven years. He was tossed back and forth until anally his people stopped him in despair. He went to school to me all right but he's gone to everybody In town." "Aren't we a little off the track?" aaked the cynic. "Right you are." replied Sal. "But before passing lightly on I'd like to take another shot at 'don't' and

'doesn't.' Its a horrid habit people have of using the contraction of 'do

not for 'does not. " . "Well." said the cynic, "I notice ev

"I know I do," said SaL "Its a common and eaay error to make. Therefore we should be watchful" "Oh Sal," murmured the cynic. "Tou fatigue me with your correc tings. But why did you ask me if I ever did good unto others?" "I was just thinking of Alice Smith,"

A (Remedy Wo Family Should Bo Without

No matter how healthy a human bains may be it is safe to say that not many months are passed without some obstruction of the bowels, in other words, constipation, even if only temporary. The bloating, the dull feeling: may start after the evening meal. If a laxative is not taken that night it is certain that sleep will not be sound, and you will awaken unrefrcshed. Hence, it is important for you and for all the members of your family that a Z-ood, reliable laxative be always kept ln the house for just such emergency. It is sure to be needed, and when needed you want it at hand. No family that is careful of its health can do withput such a remedy. But the question of which remedy to have on hand Is also of vast importance. The laxative most hifrhly recommended by the majority of intelligent Americana as beint? best for babies and grownups la Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
