MSTINGUISHED SPEAKERS AT TECH BANQUET; FULTZ PRESIDENT OF INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE rorthern Hunters Revel in Dixie Duck Heaven Vhen you read of the random d duck being shot in these parts 1 then hear a yarn ef doings In sunny South, it is enough to ke a hunter's mouth water.

The story is often 1 with glee that when company 3 entertained Joe regaled himself the clothes of a woman and red meals in woman's costume, h a serving cap and apron, but all other occasions lie was as any cr ordinary southern cook and >brated for the dishes that he red. he sailingmaster of the Joe is itain George K. Rowley, who sn Commodore Ingraham first met i was Mayor of Manteo. Va.. the nty seat, and the leading city of molte Island, which, incidentally, ) the first land settled. Near Cap l Rowley's home was the blrth ce of Virginia Dare, the tirst white nan born on American soil.

Sailed MM) Miles In Five Days he Joe left Freeport. U 1.. in mid :ember. 'rom I'erth Amboy the sloop went New Brunswick and then into the aware and Raritan canal. At •dentown, N. J., the Joe entered Delaware river and followed it Delaware City, then into the Dela te and Chesapeake canal to Chesa lte City, thence byway of the Elk sr to the head of Chesapeake bay Turkey Point. roceedlng the entire length .of isapeake bay to Hampton Roads, little boat and jolly company it on to Norfolk, Va., and, without ing nights, the log showed that r 500 miles had been made in ap ximately five days. 'rom Norfolk, Va., the Joe went to Manteo, the county seat of Dare nty, byway of the Chesapeake 1 Aibemare canal, Currituck, Albe rle and Roanoke sounds. The > of a hundred miles, made In ut eight hours, took the Joe right ough the Dismal Swamp, made fa ns by "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Bobbie," as he was affectionately led by the company, related stor of little Eva, legends of Dismal amp and his experiences before war. This part of the trip was st interesting on account of the mendouß quantities of pine and iper that w t ere being cut and pped East. hOO Decoy Ducks Carried ,t Roanoke island a few days were oted to replenishing the larder I the entire crew was given an ex ience in southern fishing in De iber, with the result that a boun il supply of white perch, striped s, crabs and eels were caught etically from the boat and several ks of oysters also put aboard, toanoke Island is about twelve es long and three miles wide, sur nded by Roanoke, Croatian, Albe rle and Pamlico sounds. It was this point that guides were taken to handle the 800 decoy ducks icli are a part of the complement the Joe, and two auxiliary power ,ts secured so that the batteries Id be properly placed for shoot 'he Joe then proceeded to Pamlico nd, which is probably one of the st celebrated hunting grounds for :ks in southern waters. Through evious channel, hardly discernible Homes Come First THE building of small homes will be the first post-war activity in the building industries. Wage-earners who for many months have been helping to win the war, and who have been earning large wages will be the first to start building activities. \\ itli the world at peace many workers will begin now to plan for a home which for years has been their greatest ambition, v Small homes will be in demand. The wage-earners have more money than ever before and they will desire to invest it in a way to receive life-long benefits. A home, a place to call their own will be among the first tilings bought with the war earnings. •I The greatest real estate boom * in years will be witnessed within a year. Now is the time to pre pare before the big rush begins. United Ice & Coal Co. Lumber Department Forster & Cowden Sts. TUESDAY EVENING, to the naked eye, the Joe pushed on to Jack's Shoals, where it anchored opposite Ingraham Point, named aft er the Commodore and distant about twenty-five miles from Manteo. While almost impossible to believe, yet the climate at this point was balmly and winter clothing was al most superfluous. Some of the com pany took their morning dip from the boat. Here ensued four or five days of the best shooting Imaginable. It la not an exaggeration to say, state the Commodore and his guests, that ducks appeared as if they were clouds or at times a black fog approaching. One could sweep the horlaon and at every point there were millions and millions of ducks flying morning and night. While brant and broadblll predom inated, yet there were many red- J heads, butterballs, black ducks, mal- ] lards, sprigs, widgeons, canvasback j and geese and swans. Two hours' shooting supplied enough ducks for use on the trip, and the return voy age was only made because every one had secured his legal limit of ducks and the sport became tiresome, because it seemed as if they were almost trained to come to the bat tery. Pamlico sound is probably one of the most interesting bodies of water for wild ducks in the country. It is 110 miles long and twenty-flve miles wide. On the beach side the water is from six to four feet six Inches in depth, and this is the feed ing place and the home of ducks, geepc, brant and swans made happy by the sandy, muddy bottom, solid with a superabundance of wild cel eTy. One pretty sight at Pamlico sound which interests the New Yorkers is the airplanes that stop at Manteo daily on their trips from Newport News to Morehead City, a distance of about 300 miles. For certain shoot ing these airplanes have raised havoc with the ducks and it has even been known that some have been injured by flying into these machines. Elaborate Meals on the Joe Commodore Ingraham and his friends found it unnecessary to Hoov erize with "Bobble" Matthews in the cook's galley. The menus for break fast and dinner follow: Breakfast Fruits, grapefruit, orange, apple, apricot: oatmeal or other cereals: pancakes in three dif ferent styles; sausages. chops, steaks, broiled chicken, corned beef hash, fried or boiled ham, ham and eggs, eggs in all styles; tea and cof fee.

SEEK NEWS OF SOX WHO FELL IX FRANCE Perplexed because of conflicting reports regarding the death of their son, Mr. and Mrs. John L. Hunt. Box 29. R. F. D. No. 1, Mount Union, havq written the Telegraph nskir.g that returned soldiers who may have seen Private Charles James Hunt get into touch with them. Private Hunt was identiiicd with the One Hundred anu Ninth Tniantry. Twen ty-eighth Division. He was reported as dead from wounds in action, but loiters received later from boys over seas contradict the War Department report. The parents think it is pos sible some mistake has been made. ANXIOUS TO GET HOME Every American soldier now serving in France is decidedly anxious to get home now that the war is oVer. Lieu tenant Glenn G. Allison, former mem ber of the Harrisburg police force, writes in a letter to Mayor Keister. The letter bears the postmark of De cember 7, and was mailed at Dljou, France. He was servinc with the One Hundred and Third Enginers, and par ticipated in the Chateau Thierrey and other heavy fighting. SNOODLES By Hungerford Lieut. Governor Beidleman and Mayor Keister to Speak at Tech Victory Banquet Mayor D. L. Keister, Lieutenant Governor-elect E. E. Beidleman and Parke H. Davis, Esq., of Easton. will be the principal speakers at the Tech football banquet, to be held at the Penn-Harris a week from to-night. It will be the greatest and largest fete ever given to a local football team, and it will mark th> first state foot ball championship tliaj ever came to the Capital City. Mayor Keister is scheduled to con gratulate the team in behalf of Har risburg. Senator Beidleman will speak on behalf of the state. Attor ney Davis comes to Harrisburg with a reputation for being one of the best known football authorities in the country. In addition to being a skill ed attorney of Northampton county. Tech's guest is a member of the foot boll rules committee. He is a statis tician of wide repute, and his data on football is accepted as being the most valuable obtainable. Attorney Davis is a Princeton graduate, and while at that institu tion made athletic history as a back field player for the Red and Black. After graduation he took hold of the Lafayette eleven and turned out the best team the Eastonians have ever had. He is a former district attorney of Northampton county, and lias one of the largest clientele in that sec tion of the state. Mr. Davis has writ ten to the Tech management accepting the invitation to be present. To Elect Cnpliiln Local fans know well enough the interest always manifested by Mayor Keister and Senator Beidleman in ath letics to make the fact known at this time. Both Harrisburgers are past masters as after-dinner speakers. Pro fessor At". E. Strawinski will also re spond to a toast. Then the Stunts Club from Tech will pull off a num ber of funny things for the benefit of the team as well as the banqueters. Last on the fixed program will be the selection of a captain for next year's team. AA'hile several members of the team are eligible, chances are that the honor will fall to Carl Tia-it. whose brilliant, spectacular, flashy playing was the talk of the state.

No more able person than Fultz could have been found. He is a Brown College man, a lawyer and was a crackerjaclt out fielder. Recently ' Dave has been a lieutenant in the United States avla- tion service. v Fultz was conspicuous for years as the only man in the game who never used an oath. His morals are the befit and he had good influence on the teams he traveled with. The most tragic thing which ever hap pened to hint in the game was a head on collision with "Kid" Elberfleld on the old American League grounds in New York. The noise of their heads meeting could be heard clear to the grandstand and It was feared for a long time that' both men were seri ously injured. Each was after a high fly from the bat of Napoleon Lajoie. All baseballdort) believes that Dav e Fultz will put new life in this half-dead league. • "1 think Lieutenant Fultz's elec tion to this Job is a sure sign of the reconstruction that is sure to come to baseball." Major Branch Rickey, president of the St. Louis Nationals, declared shortly after the election. Lieutenant Fultz, who is still in military service and stationed at Hazelhurst Field. Long Island, suc ceeds John H. Farrell. who resigned the leadership of the International League at the annual meeting of the organization last month. The new executive expects to be dis charged from the "bigger game" in about a week's time. For a time it seemed like a tossup between Lieutenant Fultz anM Friday Night Will See Opening of Central Penn Basket Ball Seasons After winning a 30 to 26 victory from the Alumni quintet, the Tech basketball aggregation will open its Central Penn basketball season Fri day night, at Chestnut Street Hall, by playing the I.ancaster High school ag gregation.

Already many of the Alumni hove sent in hurried calls, while fac ulty and members of the student body will be there in large numbers. All indications point to the affair being de luxe in every pespect.

The candidates are members of the Senior class. An assistant manager will be se lected from the present Sophomore class at the spring meeting. This will give the students of the school more chance to become acquainted with the lads in the second year class, so that a wiser selection is possible.

"Johnny" inquired as to the salary and, while not enamorated with the amount, indicated he would consider the matter if the presidency were offered him. Harrisburg-New York Sleeping Car Restored, N.
