In all, 2000. male and 250 female
athletes are participating In the
games. The men will be housed in
Olympic village, $500,000 model city,
during the sport festival. The wom

Unlike the ancient Olympic games,
which were held thousands of years
ago in Greece at small expense, the
1932 games In Los Angeles will be
staged at a cost of approximately
$6,000,000.
The state of California and city
and county of Los Angeels have
spent nearly $4,000,000 for construc

Competing nations will spend $1,000,
000 to transport and feed and house
their athletes. Incidentals, expended
by Los Angeles amount to another
million.
Tho origin of the ancient Olym
pic games Is lost in the obscurity of
centuries. Historians disagree as
to the date of their revival. Some
say they were revived in 884 B. C.
and others give the date as 828 B. C.
In 394 A. D., during the reign of
