So with the UNO Just adjourned, to meet next time In New

With two of the strongest naval and military powers in the
world, the United Kingdom and Soviet Russia, fighting practically
all the time over this, that and something else, the remarkable
thing Is the flimsy UNO did not break on the rocks of Imperialistic
rivalry and disappear entirely. That it did not does credit to the
pacifying effect of the United States and our Invaluable strategic

How well we remember the

As usual the U. S. A. won
was Just as popular a victory In
ui recent war woum nave Deen. in fact, the entire meet was the
U. S. A. against the field, with the opposition led by our present
loyal and devoted ally, Great Britain. How the Yankees were
hated particularly by the British Tommies In the stands. You
don't believe it? We KNOW, 'cause we were therel
In fact, we could qualify as an expert witness regarding the
sentiment of the average British sportsman in 1908, for most of
the time we did not sit with the American group in the grand
stand, but In the bleachers with the British hoi pollol and a fine
lusty outspoken group they were. Every victory of a "damned
Yankee" was booed. includlns the hlcvcls
defeat was cheered to the echo. And we might add this Is a matter
of accurate athletic history, had the members of the American
delegation attending those games been asked on which side they
would fight in the forthcoming world war, between Germany and
England, they would the day they sailed for home have voted
unanimously to do as was done In '76, fight "perfidious Albion."

then they came sweeping around the curve and into the home

we saw a young slender chap with the red, white and blue shield
on his shirt, forge ahead in the last few feet and break the tape
the winner.
So we relaxed and waited for the American flag to be hauled
up the "victory" pole for another outburst of cheering. But noth
ing of this sort happened. Then it was announced that the race
would have to be run over for Lieutenant Halswelle had been
fouled on the turn by an American runner.
This was denied by the American runner in question, by his
team mates and by all the U. S. officials. He had run In front of
Halswelle, it was true, but only demonstrated he was faster than
Hnlswelle and It was all perfectly legal.
Well, Ihe upshot was the Americans refused to re-run the
lace, the victory was awarded, therefore, to Halswelle, and the
American view of British sportsmanship reached a new low for
an time.
Well, In the perspective of
more about the intense American will to win and British sports
manship, we grant perhaps that ruling was entirely correct per
haps, however, we do know this: there wasn't an American on
the team or In the rooting section in 1908 who even admitted the
POSSIBILITY of such a thing.
The other unfortunate incident came In the star event of
every Olympic program the Marathon run of 26 miles. We took
a "tram" out to Windsor Castle to see the start, and remember
particularly, several marvellously-built American Indians who at
tracted great public attention and were very popular throughout
London. We remember writing

We can recall with what a thrill
the years, and knowing a little
at the time that all Britishers
win the race it would be an
a native one. The winner was
Hayes who hailed from the great
like Halswelle, he too won on a
unforgettable. There were no

aggeration of split-pea soup he was no longer running, ha was
staggering like a drunken man, and very drunken one too.
In fact a hundred yards or more before the finish line the poor
little "Wop" fell flat on his face, turned over, tried to get up as if
fatally wounded then crumbled again.

Well, this was too much for British sportsmanship or parti
sanshipwhichever you prefer. (It was probably a combination
of both.) For at that moment, another figure came through the
distant gate, he wasn't wobbling, he was running strong, with a
short sturdy stride, and as someone had Just thrown a pail of
water on him, he fairly glistened in the sunshine, and that red-white-and-blue
shield glistened also. What a grand and glorious
feeling. For with the Italian on his face in the dust it was obvious
the American runner would finally win.
But, as stated, all this was too much for the British officials,
they not only ran to Dorando's (we believe that was the name)
assistance, but they pulled him to his feet and literally pushed and
yanked him over the line, just as young Hayes (hi there Doc!) came
barging in to take second in a photo-finish.
The record will show the Italian flag was pulled to the top,
then after a long delay the U. S. flag took its place and silence,
except from the U. S. delegates resulted. This was quite proper,
of course, first place was given the American runner, but it only
made the deep-dyed unpopularity of the American team a little
deeper, that's all! R.W.R.

How Is the following for a
dog story; hard to top? When
Bobby Permane, the well-known
Jockey, was two years old he
was presented with a collie pup.
That dog, whose name Is Cou
gar, is now 18 years old. Bobby
is only 20. He cannot remember
when he didn't have his dog
Cougar. .Remarkable Isn't it?
Right now Bobby is in Califor
nia riding for C. S. Howard. Do
you think the jockey left his
dog in New York? No, sir, Cou
gar is with his master here and
goes to the track with him
every day. To see this old dog
gaze lovingly at his master and
lifelong companion is Indeed a
touching sight.
Tips
Assemblyman William J. A.
Glancy of New York Is a coura
geous man. He has Introduced
an act to amend the penal law
In relation to tips and gratuities.
If Glancy's suggestion is made
a law it will be a penal offense
for an employer to demand an
employe turn over all tips to
him. This will certainly be
tough on the hat checking con
cession industry. At any rate
this department is with Mr
Glancy 100 per cent. People who
give tips expect the employes
receiving same to keep them.
Let it be that way. If we stop
people from making suckers out
of us in a small way perhaps
we will gradually work up to
stopping those who are makinp
suckers out of us in a large way.

That's what doctors Allen
Moore and Ralph Tyson have
originated. On this chart, which
can be fastened above the
baby's crib a mother can find
out what she wants to know to
make certain the child Is de
veloping normally. How fast he
should cut his teeth. When he
should sit and stand alone.
What he should weigh. What
his diet should be at six, nine
and a year, when he should
walk, etc., etc. On the chart Is
a space for the mother to rec
ord the child's development.
With about 3.000,000 babies be
ing born annually in this coun
try it seems Doctors Moore and
Tyson have originated some
thing 'this country really has

seriously. After her daughter
was born by a caesarian opera

had arranged to have the child
born on that day by the advice
of her astrologer. Those born on
Feb. 14 are aquarians. There
have been many famous men
born under this sign but not so
many celebrated women. In any
event It Is difficult to under
stand how a child born by
means of a caesarian operation
at an arranged time can be said
to be of the group normally
born on the same date.

accepted by the president. Ickes
resigned effective March 31. The
ordered him to vacate his office
February 15 Just two days no
tice. Meanwhile, rumors of other

Gossip has it that if Paul Porter,

really being kicked upstairs on
his way out. Since last summer,
there has been ill feeling be

THE BILL KNOWN as the
Case bill which was passed by
the House last week by an over
whelming vote will never be
come a law in its present form.
Every member of the house
knew that at the time the
roll on the bill was called. The
bill supposedly is contrary to the
best interests of organized labor.
It certainly Is contrary to the
wishes of the labor leaders.
Their idea of legislation is to
have no legislation at all. Hav
ing been sent to the senate, it is
generally conceded that one of
two things will happen to the
Case bill. Either it will be pi
geonholed by the senate commit
tee on labor, and nothing more
will be heard of it during the re
mainder of this congress or it
will be completely revamped,
changed beyond recognition.

is the OPA law. Recently, the
OPA people have been playing
with smart nrnnnnnrin rlocitrnorl
to sell the housewives on the
fine job being done.
The "off-aealn-on-affain" nnor.
ation of citrus fruit price ceiling
oraers around the holiday season
was a propaganda gesture. It
was supposed to show what
would happen if ceiling prices
were removed. The plan back
fired. As we have shown hv sturlJea
made by the republican food

price debacle did nnthtmr mm-a
than disrupt the citrus fruit in-
ausiry and bring about slightly
higher Drices. Our stnrlv
ed, and it was so reported, that
in oraer to cover what actually
happened, the OPA deliberately
resorted to releasing false and
inaccurate figures.
