What the Olympic GamesAre
HISTORY ATHLETIC coNrEsrs
IN THE woELD-AMERIcANs


ST. LOUIS, Mo. April 21.--Few
people in this country know what the
Olympic games are. yet they are the
oldest athletic contests In the world
They sprang originally from the land
that nurtured contests of skill and
endurance more than any other coun-
try ever has since. and they go so
far back in time that their origin is
enshrouded in the darkness of tradi-
ton. When the celebration of these
games first emerged into historical
cognizance they Were a popular ma
tional festivity, and in time Greece
began to measure the passing years
by olympiads. The games were cele-
brated every four years. and the

of Greece proclaiming the festival.
announcing the dates, declaring the
territory of Elias inviolable during
that time. and declaring a cessation
of hostilities for that time between
whatever states might then be at war.
This was to guarantee the safety of
all participants and visitors to and
from the games and during their
progress.
The bitterest enemies were for the
time being jolly good friends. and
often men would leave the stadium
to go home and wage war to the death
with the very men who sat beside
them the day before.
Winners of the contests were
awarded crown of wild olive This
was the highest honor any Greek
could receive from his countrymen
and the award was made in the sa-
cred temple of Zeus.
The games lost their popularity
somewhat when Rome overwhelmed
Greece and gradually deteriorated

up entirely.
