as possible, to avoid hitting the hurdle.
Don't jump too high; rather endeavor
to traverse as great a distance as pos
sible each time you leave the ground.
Take great care that the foot that
reaches the ground first after clearing
the hurdle strikes the ground straight
forward, otherwise a sprained ankle
may be the result
The arms are a very important fac
tor to hurdler, and they should be
used both for lifting the body at the
jumps and also to balance the body
while going over.
In practicing over the hurdles it is
well to bandage the jumping foot, so
As to save scraping if it should touch

but the run, jump and the run will be
continuous. Unless this is done in a
proper style no boy can ever hope to
excel in hurdle racing.
AS soon as the first hurdle can be
taken without hesitation, find out if
you can make the distance between
that and the next hurdle in the usual
seven strides. If not, practice 1t in
nine, until you can negotiate the second
hurdle without a halt
The distance being the same between
all the other hurdles as between the
first and the second, the flight can
then be tried, and Improvement he

In 220-yard hurdle race there are
ten flights, 2 feet inches in height,
twenty yards from the start to the first
hurdle and twenty yards between each
hurdle.
1t is not necessary in training to run
the full distance every day. A race is
often won over the first two hurdles
If these are properly taken and you
do not tire yourself out in the attempt,
the rest Of the race is matter of so
many strides and a jump, repeated un-
til the tape is reached.
Speed and condition are the only
other factors in such a race Quarter
mile running helps greatly to strength
en- hurdler in making a good finish
Be careful not to overtrain, as the
man who is fit and fresh has an enor-
nous advantage in this event over one
who Is "stale."
Gymnasium work will be found very
beneficial to the hurdler, especially free
exercises and pulley work, that help to
strengthen the abdominal muscles.
Smoking must not be INDUCED In. as
it affects the wind.
For similar reason pastry and can
dy should be avoided, as they interfere
with the condition Of the stomach.
With the exception of these two things
almost any food can be eaten, and if

On no account take any alcoholic

For hurdle racing always wear regu-
lar jumping shoes, with spikes in the
heels. This will prevent any slipping
after clearing the hurdle.
A boy learning to hurdle is liable to

to it he will eventually take great in

KUBEL|K DEFEATED
IN A DAMAGE SUIT
VoIinist Loses Action Brought
by Him Against a Ber-
lin Critic

BERLIN, June 25.-The verdict of the
court yesterday at Frankfort on the Main
in the suit which Kubelik the Violinist,
brought against DR.. Gehrmann, the music
critic of the Frankfurter Zeitung, for what
the violinist deemed insulting personalities
In criticisms of his concerts, was: "Suit
dismissed with costs for plaintiff" DIR.
Gehrmann described Kubelik as Stupid
(bloede) looking man of superfine, effemi-
nate appearance" and spoke Of him also
as a specialist and miracle worker who
produces nothing but tones"
The proceedings turned partly upon the
meaning of the word "bloede," which ex-
perts testified was used in North Ger
many in the sense of shy or "expres-
sionless,' and the court noted that DR..
Gehrmann came from Berlin to Frank
fort. But Herr Schwarzchild, Kubelik' s
lawyer, saw in the word that offensive
personalities characterizing Berlin musi-
cal criticism were being introduced.
Term Specialist Objected To
The Frankfort lawyer also objected to
the word Specialist which he claimed
was only applicable to a variety per-

URDLE racing is one of the
events in athletics which finds
great popularity with the
young athlete, who is full of snap and
energy.
While it is hard to lay down any alb
solute rules order to secure success
as hurdler, owing to the diversity of
styles used by the athlete in starting
and negotiating the hurdles, there is
much in a general way which all must
observe if they expect ever to lead at
the taps in this class of sport.
The first thing a novice at this game
needs to learn is to clear the hurdle in
orthodox fashion, which will make his
course as smooth as possible and de-
void of-zanX semblance of a halt in
clearing the obstacle. Supposing the
regulation 2 feet inches hurdles are
being used, the best way to become
proficient is to practice going over the
hurdle with two or three strides, max
ing sure that the jump is made in the
proper way, and wasting as little en-
ergy as possible. 1t might be we'll to
have the top of the hurdle loose, to
avoid fall.
The correct way to clear the hurdle
is to take off well away from it, and
draw UP the opposite foot from which
you spring, which is usually the left,
SO that 1t passes over the hurdle first
and is ready to put to the ground for
another stride as soon as you are over.
The leg from which you jump should
be extended behind and lifted as much

word "bloede'' was that he only meant
to say that Kubelik riveted his eyes on
one spot when playing.
The presiding judge took hand in the
proceedings and pointed out that he pos
sessed pamphlet written against Wagner
during the great composers lifetime, and
designed to prove that Wagner was crazy.
Yet Wagner never once brought suit
against his critics. The judge also
claimed that Kubelik invited criticism on
his personal appearance by having full
length portraits of himself displayed in
shop windows as advertisements
Experts who were called testified that
Kubelik possessed astonishing technique,
but that he aimed more at external effects
than artistic depth. His whole programme
was arranged with the view of displeasing
virtuosity.

The court In explaining the reasons for
the dismissal of the suit said the word
specialist" was justified, since Kubelik
cultivated the breakneck feats of Paga-
nini," adding:
1T Is now customary everywhere for
critics to describe the personal appear

not present at the concert, and Kubelik
probably would have been better satisfied
If the personal description had been more

The court also said that the expression
"bloede" was not insulting, and added:

critic mentioned it, that would not have
been an insult. The verdict of the court

There seems to be harmony in the

lican ticket at the coming election.
Last Saturday the Regular" Republi-
can Committee met and after much
deliberation recommended that COM
mon primaries be held in all three
counties and that there should be a
fair and honorable adjustment of the
state ticket. This move in the direc.
tion of harmony brought an answer
from Senator Alice, state chairman of
the Union Committee who recipro-
Gated the good wishes for harmony and
said that the Union Republicans
would agree to division of the offices
in the two factions, divided equally by
alternate choice between the two or
ganizations, reserving to the party of
regularity and of the majority the
right of first choice, or in other words
that the entire ticket be accorded to
the Regulars" except the nomina-
tions for Governor, state treasurer and

they be members of the Council or men

The battlefield IN Prince William
county, Virginia, fought over in turn
about 40 years ago by Beauregard VS..
Mcdowell and Lee and jackson VS..
Pope, is on September and and
September and 9 to be the scene Of
games of strategy between the
"Blues" and Browns" whose forces
will number in the aggregate some
$4,000 men. There is to be no effort
to reproduce with any closeness the
conditions of the famous battles of
of 1861 and 1862, but two new pro-
blems of strategy are to be solved
Each problem involves maneuvering
and possible conflict between "Blue"
force at Manassas Station, with rein
forcements available from Washington
and intermediate points, and a
Brown" force at ThOroughfare Gap,
with reinforcements at Front Royal
and intermediate points. In brief, it
is war between an army of the Poto-
mac aud an army of the Shenandoah,
and was suggested perhaps by John
stOu's successful movement from the
Shenandoah Valley in 1851 to reinforce
Beauregard. Problem No. concerns
an attack by the commander of the
''Blues" at Manassas Station upon the
force of Browns" at Thoroughfare
Gap, the idea being to see whether
the division of Browns" at the Gap
can be beaten before reinforcements
reach it from Front Royal and other
pOrats. In Problem No. 2 the COM
mander of the Browns" encamped at
Thoroughfare Gap, with his advanced
division, will see whether he can at
tack and beat the "Blue division,
known to be in a defensive position at
Manassas Station, before reinforce
-ments can reach the latter from
Washington, and points east of Cen
treville. By quick and skillful move
ments of attack and defense the oppos-
ing commanders will have their STRAIT
egic ability tested, or improved, while
the troops on both sides will obtain
useful experience of campaign work.
Umpires will note the situations of
the various units on each side and de-
eide which has got itself or been
placed in an impossible position-a po-
sitiOn which would in actual war
spell disaster. Captured units will be
ruled out of the game and hypotheti
cal casualties will be deducted from
time to time, so that at the end of the
allotted time the umpire will tell us
which side is victorious. AS nobody
is to be actually killed, decisive fac
tor-fear-is eliminated. This tends
to give mimic war look of unreality
Bull Run first won fame from the GOOD
speed made by the Federals in July
1861, under stress of panic inspired by
the doughty Confederates. The dis
tauce from Bull Run to Washington
was covered that year in record time

from the operations of the COMMIT

The vacation season of the Smyrna
Public Schools closed with Monday
and yesterday the school doors were
thrown open to admit of small army
of school children who had been in
dulging a two months vacation to
their hearts content. The teachers too
were at their post ready to settle down
to another years work. The summer
taken as a whole has been a pleasant
one. There have been of course a few
heated terms, but fortunately they
were not of long duration. Now that
the schools are entering upon another
term of work, parents should see to it
that their children go to school and
are punctual in attendance. The
necessity of a good public school edu-
cation was never more paramount than
1t is to-day. It's the educated man,
the skilled workmen that are making a
success of life, and as civilization ad-
vances it will be the educated men,
those who have gotten the best train
ing at the hands of our splendid Pub
lie School svstem, that are destined to
control the great educational and COM
mercial pulse of our nation. No par
ent however poor, should deprive their
children of the free and liberal educa-
ton offered by our public schools.
Whatever sacrifice is made in the
cause of education is a sacrifice we'll
made. Then again parents who send
their children to school should coope-
rate with the Principal and teachers to
enforce such discipline as will tend
to the childs intellectual and moral
growth. Remember that the Public
School cannot do all. Much depends
on the home training and home infiu-
ence. With a hearty cooperation of
both parents and teachers, there is no
reason why the Smyrna Public Schools
now entering upon another years
work, should not be the most success
full in its history.

After hopeless battle with con-
sumption in an aggravated form,
Ais Muller, sweetheart of Cole
Younger, one Of the James band,
and the woman whose influence on
his life of recent years was most
powerful, is dead in Oaklahoma.
Miss MULES was brilliant news
paper woman and, in professional
capacity, called on Cole Younger at
Saltwater Penitentiary before the
Pardon Board paroled him. An at
tachment between the old man and
the clever girl grew up, which devel-
oped into a love full Of tragedy.
Both hoped against hope for an ul-
innate opportunity 10 marry, but
the State refused them and Cole
Younger found, when released, that
his dearest hopes would not be re-
allied.
Younger left the State according
to his parole and Miss Muller fol-
lowed soon after, joining brother
in Oklahoma in hope of recovering
her health. Her decline has been
steady since that time.
Miss Muller was connected with
leading st. Paul newspapers at diff
ferent times and afterwards with pa
pers in Los Angeles, San Francisco
