Judge Gaines Tells How BurIeson
Found Our Legation In London.
Representative John w. Gaines of
Tennessee recently returned from a
trip through Europe and tells Of an in
teresting incident in London, says a
Washington dispatch TO the New York
Herald. Judge Gaines says he met
Representative Albert S. Burleson Of
Texas on the Strand in London, and
the latter naturally was delighted to
meet his old friend from Tennessee.
"Come with me to the American EN-
bassy, Gaines" said Burleson. Il want
to get my salary check, which has been
forwarded there"
Lets take a cab them" said Gaines.
Its a long way from here, and I'm
tired"
ooh, no; it's just down to Westmin-
ster abbey" said Burleson Gaines
protested that the American legation
was not at that depository for Eng
lands famous dead, but the Texan in
sisted that 1t was and would only be
convinced when he had persuaded
Gaines to go there. Then, the Tennes-
seean says, he took Burleson to the le-
cation, a long way distant
AS Burleson is a member Of the house
committee on foreign affairs there nat
urally was a laugh on him for suppos
ing that Americas legation is located
in Westminster abbey.

VALUE OF A GOOD YAWN.
Medical Men Declare it ReIaxes Tense
Nerves and Contracted Muscles
Rests the Whole Body.

Yawning is not at all times an in
dication of a feeling of laziness. More
frequently it is an evidence that GER
tain muscles have been ov~erstrained
and require rest. Medical men ave-
that a yawn is natures demand for
rest. Some people think they only
yawn because they are sleepy. But
this is not so. You yawn because you
are tired. You may be sleepy, also, but
that is not the real cause of your
yawning. You are sleepy because you
are tired, and you yawn because you
are tired.
Whenever you feel like yawning, just
Jawn. Don't try to suppress it, be-
cause you think it is impolite to
yawn. Put your hand over your
mouth, if you want to, but let the yawn
rome. And If you are where you
can stretch at the same time that you
yawn, just stretch and yawn. This is
natures way of stretching and relax
ing the muscles.
Don't be afraid to open your mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like it. Indeed, if you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawn-
ing, there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as TO sit on a straight
backed chair, anG, lifting the feet from
the floor, push them out in front Of
you as far as possible, stretch the
arms, put the head back, open the
mouth wide, and make yourself yawn
Those tense nerves will relax, the
contracted muscles will ctretch. and the
whole body win be rested Do this
two or three times when o are tired.
and see what IL will Go for you.

wild roar that went up from the throats
of thousands Of half naddened enthu
siasts Bobby Walthour for himself ana
his team mate. Munroe. has won the
six day bicycle race in Madison Square
Garden.
Forty yards separated Walthour from
Lcander, who was second at the finish
being ten good yards ahead of Floyd
Krebs, behind whom came Fisher, an
Indifferent fourth.
Ii was a spectacular finish, made
more so by the fact that of the sever
riders who took the pace to sprint the
the supreme test had arrived, four fell
crashing in a heap just as half the final
journey had been completed.
One of the unfortunates had a mar

hour after the race had been completed
he wa still unconscious.
John Bedell was the rider most seri-
ously hurt.
According to the official t%imekeepers
cred in 2 minutes - seconds. Others
made the time almost ten seconds
slower.
Although it lacked many of the sen
sational incidents that have marked
long distance races that have been held
previously in the Garden and in spite
of the fact that the ground covered was
400 miles behind the record made -four
years ago by Miller and Waller, the
crowd that was present to see the finish
was greater than any other that ever
filled that building for a like occasion.
Here is what WalthOur ate during
the six days terrible grind" Leander
who came in second and who had much
the same food, gained several pounds
during the race: Fourteen pounds of
