Mrs NJ C Howell OF Cincinnati. O.. the
champion woman archer OF the world, re-
tanned that title last week. when she won
the olympic lady archery tournament at
the Worlds Fair Stadium from six OF the
best women bow artists in the country
Mrs Howell was clearly the best in all
the different events both at long and
short range shooting. In many Of the
contests she led her opponents BY large
scores.
During the contests many of the arch
ers decided To finish the days work. al

would lose their arrows.
Mrs Howell was one that was willing
TO continue the shooting. although II was

seen one OF her opponents. in friendly
terms. said:
''Of course. Mrs. Howell. you don't mind
shooting in the dark. as IL seems as
though you could hit the target with your
eyes closed. and consequently you DON'T
lose any arrows.
The lady continued: The majority Of US
dc not hit even the target all the time
not saying anything OF striking The bulls

on some OF our arrows"
Mrs. Howell has held the honor of be-

THE EAST SIDE SUBWAY.

That was cheering news which Mr.. Charles
Stewart Smith gave TO The Tribune yesterday
morning Soon. Mr.. Smith says, Mr. William
BARCLAY Parsons, chief engineer will lay be-
fore the route committee of the Rapid Transit
Commission plans for an East Side subway
The committee will transmit the plans TO the
commission, and, If the cty's debt limit will per-
nit the building Of the new branch will be or
dered at once
Mr. Smith supports the view long held ana
urged by The Tribune when he says that there
is a strong demand for this East Side tunnel
There is a great, thckly populated residence ter
ritory bounded by Forty-second-str Madison
ave. One-hunire6- and -fourth-st. and the East
River The transit needs of this region are as
varied and as pressing as those Of the CORE
spending region on the West Side. 1t contains
population which comprises numerous elements
from the wealthy dweller toward the west TO
the inhabitant of the tenement near the river
Such a subway as is likely to be recommended
by Mr. Parsons would tap this section at central
points and give the relief which the East SIDE
elevated lines now need. The question of the
most desirable route however, is still an open
one many experts preferring First-aye. MI.
Smith expects great benefits from the opening
Of the Lenox-ave branch, and his expectations
are undoubtedly well founded. How much
greater would be the advantage Of line which
woud accommodate the whole of the region
mentioned.
The debt limit seems to be the only obstacle
in the way Of the accomplishment Of this much
desired improvement. Investigation may show
that even that is not an obstacle. The commits
sion can be trusted to find out about it speedily
and to act promptly on the information. AT all
events the East Side subway is pressing ne
