LET US HAVE ATHLETICS.

The great number of young men
who fail to pass the physical exami-
nation required by the government
emphasizes the need of gymnasiums
and physical training schools. We
should not allow the race to deter
iorate physicaliY.-Nashville News.
We think with the Nashville
News that a system of physical
culture should be introduced in all
of our pubIic schools and that the
boys be given an hour each day at
some physical training. This
could be done by forming classes,
and appointing the boys the most
proficient in athletic sports as the
instructor or drill master and this
would do away with employing
teachers for this branch of the
school.
Running, jumping, swimming and
rowing could be practiced as well as
drilling and posing. Let our schools
introduce this system for trial
and see how it works.

On Tuesday afternoon, Mr.. j. T.
Stevenson, who lives on College
Hill, started for home, going
through the railroad yards, as the
nearest way. Finding the switch
engine going down the yard, toward
the crossing of the road leading to
his home, he mounted the tail piece,
where the switchmen stand. The
engine did not slow up at the cross
lug as Mr.. Stevenson thought it
would do when he mounted it and
not wanting to be carried by, he
jumped off, parties who saw him,
say that he jumped the wrong way
that is against the movement OF
the train instead of the forward
movement with it, and was OF
course thrown violently against the
ground. He was carried home and
nursed carefully but never came tc
his mind to tell how it was done,

GIRLS WANT
Their Cycling Suits Need an Importan
Addition.

huuitiOus
One long, impassioned cry goes up
from the wheelwomen all over the
world-"Pockets, more pockets-we
II have more pockets" At present
pocket question Is one of the most seri-
GUS problems that confront the femin-
inc cyclist, says the Wheel editorially.
Tailors and dressmakers expend much
time and strength over other details
of her costumes, the length or short
ness of her skirt, the fullness or scant-
mess thereof, her leggined or unleg-
gined e~xtremities, all these things have
become matters of worldwide COM
ment and consideration. But the
pocket, that essential to feminine COM
fort, either on or off the wheel, has
somehow been ignored, and never was
there a slight more keenly felt. Many
tailors utterly refuse to put a pocket
in a cycling skirt, because it spoils the
shape or hang" 1t must be confessed
that, as in any skirt, it is a delicate
contrivance to adjust, but that doesn'i
lessen the need Of 1t. Pockets in The
bodice, too, are apt to bulge awkward
ly and protuberantly, refining the out
lines of what should be a perfectly
smooth surface. AS yet no key to the
situation has been offered. Mos
wheelwomen employ pocket substitute.
Of n sort or another hat are grace.
full or otherwise, as the case may be
Any one who wishes to contribute tt
the lasting comfort of the wheelwomar
can do so in no more practical way
than by solving this pocket problem
of the cycle costume.
