SUN SHONE BLOOD RED
AS THROUGH VEIL
Prof Skinner Thinks 1t Was Due to Volcanic Dust
or Ashes.

The unusually rudy sky at sunrise and
sunset noticeable in Washington during
recent weeks, is attributed TO the re-
fraction of the suns glazing rays upon
the fine particles of ash floating in tie at
mosphere, which have come from the
great forest fires this spring. Prof. Skin
ner, of the Naval Observatory, advances
this theory as the probable cause of the
phenomenon. He says the red sunsets
and sunrises have been noticed at the
Observatory. though no especial observa-
tions have been made.
Caused Perhaps by Forest Fires.
Il have frequently seen such red sun
sets and sunrises IN the West" said

Great Preparations for Mar

SPORTS OF ALL DESCRIPTION
Fat Men to Play Game of Ball and
Others to Climb a Creased Pole.
Some Other Diversions.

All is in readiness for the annual ex-
cursion Of the Business Mems Associa-
ton, scheduled to leave Washington for
Marshall Hall next Thursday afternoon
at o'clock sharp. The steamer Charles
Manchester has been chartered for the
occasion. and the grounds of the resort
have been reserved for the outing of
the usually austere and dignifed bust
ness men of the Capital City 1t is to
be gala day, unless the plans of the
committee on arrangements miscarry
This committee met in the office of
Barry Buckley, secretary of the Bust
ness Mems Association, at noon yester-
day, and considered the many features
which they hope TO include in the pro-
gram of the days doings. The commit
tee. it may be added, is not averse to
getting all the fun that is possible out
of the affair. and for that reason the
motto of the excursion proceedings will
be Laugh and grow fat"
Limit on Speechmaking.
The days program will be remarkable
from many points of view. The greatest
departure will be in the limit set on
publicly air his personal opinions and
convictions for a term exceeding three
minutes. This rule will no doubt be a
great disappointment to some few OF
Washington's distinguished citizens.
The sporting program will be the real
feature of the day. 1t is understood that
every known amusement and divertisse-
ment has been provided for, with the
single exception of a balloon ascention
This was omitted for the reason that il
speeches were limited to three minutes
there would not be enough hot air avail
able for Initiating purposes.
The next feature will be z baseball
game, presided over by Sam Stinemetz
and guaranteed to make everybody
laugh, Including Mr.. Magruder. Then
there is TO be a three-legged race, a
barrel race, a creased pole contest, a
10o-yard dash for fat men, and a cro-
quet game for the women.
Three Legged Race.
The 1oO-yard dash for fat men will
probably have for entries-Dr. Kicking
and Messrs. Danenhower, Cook, Eek
stein, Knox, and DeLashmutt AS a
laugh producer this event is calculated
to be the success of the day.
The official cartoonist is busy drawing
picture of the star team entered in
the three-legged race-names will he
announced later.
Much interest centers in the creased
pole event, but it is safe to say the con :
testants will be only those that need
the money. The pole will be extended
horizontally over the turbid waters of
the Potomac, and CREASED generously.
On its extreme end will be fastened a
bright and glittering $40 gold piece to
be the reward of the successful and
grease smeared contestant who shall
reach the end of the pole before he
reaches the water. Bathing suits will
be in vogue for this event.
The boat will leave Washington Thurs
day at o'clock, and Marshall Hall on
the return trip as soon after o'clock
as the association and its guests can he

thing more than a mere coincidence, de-
clare the advance guard of the summer
colony, that no sooner does it become
known that the Earl and Countess of
Yarmouth will probably visit Newport
this season than Mr. and Mrs BENJAMIN
Thaw decide not to open their summer
residence here this year
In a nutshell. 1t is believed at New
port that the two matters are but an
echo of the recent wedding of the earl
and Miss Thaw in Pittsburg 20 which
Benjamin Thaw. the countess half
brother. was strenuously opposed.

This condition would at once appear

station between the Thaws and the Var
mouths that would DE particularly no.
ticeable in view of the recent oppose
ton on the part of Mr.. Thaw to his
half-sister marrying the earl.
There are, though. few who view the
matter differently, believing that Mr..
Thaw, who is regarded as a very nery-
Gus and extremely sensitive man. was
so exercised over the marriage that re-
is really i'll as a result and that conse-
quentIy he has determined that a brief
season of travel abroad is necessary TO
the recuperation of his health There
fore it is because of this that he will not
open his Newport villa this summer.
Not After Recognition.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thaw have never sought
what the world would consider high
place in society here. though they have
an elegant home and Mrs Thaw is one OF
the most extensively and most attract
lively gowned women here.
They have always associated with the
class that find morning lectures, must
Gales and literary talks more entertain
ing and profitable than burlesque shows
and swagger dinners followed by variety
entertainments.
On the other hand, the Earl of Var
mouth was introduced here by the Pot
ter Palmers, Mrs. Douglas Grant, sistev-
.in-iaw OF the Countess OF Essex, and
Col John Jacob Aston, through the good
Offices of whom he obtained an entree
everywhere.
1t is generally understood that The
Earl and Countess of Yarmouth will
visit Newport late in August or early
in September.

When asked If the great eruption at

cause of the red sunsets, Prof Skinner
said 1t was perhaps possible.
For months after the eruption of
Krakatoa, volcano on the island of
Krakatoa. in the Strait of Sunda, which
occurred twenty years ago., said the
professor, 1.-THE atmosphere was filled
with small PARTICLES of dust which made
the sunsets red. This eruption threw
half of an island into the air and caused
a tidal wave fifty feet high that drowned
thousands of the inhabitants of neigh
boring islands. The noise of the expio-
sion was heard thousands of miles away

Says College Athletes Are
Doomed to Early Death

Special to The Globe
ANN ARBOR, Mich, June 1.-The
opening Of the athletic season reminds
us that We have bodies as well as
minds-not that many college men ever
lose sight of that important fact, but
with the ordinary public 1t is different
Last year we had a crusade against
football playing and now it is a general
attack on athletics from a professor Of
surgery in the University of Iowa.
The indictment OF DR.. Giichrist is
couched in no doubtful language.
He says: 1.-THE deyotee of college
athletics is doomed to a premature
death; he must fall behind In his
studies, or else work under such a
strain that mental, as well as physical
ruin Is imminent; his own moral char
acter, as well as that of his non-ath-
letic associates, must suffer, and the
moral and intellectual tone Of his col
lege must be lowered or at least seri-
ously inperiled by college athletics.
IF man intends to devote his life
to athletic pursuits and keeps up his
training, as ne must, he will damage
himself beyond, repair, it is true, but
the catastrophe will be somewhat de-
layed. He will have acquired a large
