twenty-one miles per hour. There are now
about 5000 men employed in the Puget

the bar at three feet ten inches with little

Jump was three feet six inches, when the
bar was raised two inches. He experienced
no difficulty In getting over this. Another
two inches were added TO the third attempt,

From the above II WIN be noted that the
net proht OF athletics in the entire big
Six" was only t45s03. II should be observed
in this connection that the expenditures
noted do not represent the real cost Of ath-
letics, for in several cases, notably those
OF Yale, Pennsylvania and Harvard, good
many thousand dollars credited TO expHndi-
lures were used in making permanent Inn
provemen:s TO athletic fields. gymnasiums,
etc. With this deducted every member OF

the firm would hardly consider the building
of a racing car so long the weight limit
remained at 2,204 pounds. This sentiment
is rather on the increase. The limit was
established originally to check the building
of cars of monstrous size and weight. This
evil was stopped, but the new tendency
to trespass the factor of safety, which is
a corollary of the trend toward higher
horse powers, is beginning to loom as some-
thing even more serious,

had left his umbrella behind him somewhere
Accordingly. the next morning. the old man

QUEER GERMAN NAMES.
Their Origin and Significance
ShO7cn.

In an interview which published recently an
observing globe trotter told many interesting things
about the names of the Japanese. Many OF these,
he said. would sound queer if they we're translated
into English Names like Bloom of the Rose and
Fragrance of the Forest would excite com
ment if they business card or
sign in this country. Possibly he is right. but
these examples of proper names are no more re-
markable than many names which have become
well known to English speaking people The Ger
in this country have been juggled with
by the immigrants until many Of them have lost
their original form. Some have been translated,
others reconstructed with a view to saving the
name and making It pronounceabe in English and
some have been recast to hide their German origin.
Thus Waannenmacher Quaker Of tubs) became
Wanamakcr; Riemenschneider STRAP CUTTER was
converted into Riemensnyder; Bauer (peasanD be-
came Bowers. Blumenthal (vale of fowers) was
changed to Bloomingdale; Loewentrtt 0he tread
of the lion) TO Leventritt Knoblauch garlic, be-
came Knoblock. and Suessundgut (sweet and good
into Seasongood Krankheit (sickness) con-
verted into Cronkhe.
The list of similar names would be very large
one Many immigrants, however, refuse to Angli-
cize their names, despite the fact that these are
neither beautiful nor euphonous from the American
point Of view Among such might be men,
