Athletic Contestants.
Tne strenuous athlete Of the colleee
cinoer path may well look long and
ponder much on Z remarkable set of
facial casts just completed By DR.. R.
Taie Mckenzie, physical director OF
the University Of Pennsylvania. With
tne object Of showing how the violent
enorts OF athletics to cut fractions Of
seconds from existing records affect the
physiQue, DR.. Mckenzie has made 4
series OF models which reveal with life
Ike accuracy the effort with which the
heroes OF the cinder path win their vic
torres DR.. Mckenzie based his facial
models on Photographic snapshots made
at the time various athletic leader.
were breaking the tape or surmountinr
the hurdles at Franklin field and other
athletic centers.
Inc most remarkable Of the models
perhaps is that depicting violent effort
We're 1t not that the camera has de.
picted again and again the dreadful
expression Of a trained Splinter or
Jumper at the moment when he has
called to his help every ounce Of DOW
er In his entire being in order to do
just little better than his opponent.
It would be difficult to believe that thu
contestant was amusing himself. The
Iact suggests the mesmerized man in
Foes story at the time Of the attempt
ed awakening. The lips are drawn
tightly back from the teeth. The eyes
are closed. The jaws are clinched.
The lines OF the face are deep. If the
athlete were struggling for his life the
expression Of the face could not be
more appalling. It Ia the concentra-
ton OF agonized effort, the focusing Of
all the force in every fiber of a trained
physique on winning of an athletic vic.
tory. The more one looks at the pic
ture the greater is the temptation to
doubt the value Of victory SO won.
While not 80 fierce as violent effort
the marks made on the face by fatigue
are bad enough. Gone is the last trace
OF the blitheness of youth. The face
Is That OF q man tired of the battle
OF life and ready to welcome relief from
the burden Of the race. The express
sion Is Identical with that familiar to
all attendants at big athletic meets
when the contestants stumble through
the last few yards Of long distance
run. The lids Of the eyes are droop-
ing, the mouth open, the cheeks drawn
as though in pain and the general ex-
preston that Of a man who is about to
burst into tears. Exhaustion akin to
, fatigue also shows In a face that Is
well known to those who have wit
messed the last run In at q distance
event The heavy lines Of the fore
head, the open mouth, the drawn face,
suggest despair and call for pity.-New

BETTER Teachinx OF Thr.. n.


Another interesting test of the present.
day methods Of public school education q,
compared with the known results of teach.
ing more than half century ago, has re.
Gently been made at Cleveland, Ohio. Ac.
cording to the School Journal, lists OF
words and arithmetic examples contained
In the examination papers Of the Spring
field (Mass.) high school in 1916, which
were submitted to the ninth grade of the
Springfield school in 1895, have now been
tried in one Cleveland school. Followins
il the list Of words: Accidental, accessi.
BILE, baptism, chirography, characteristic
deceitfully, descendent, eccentric. evan.
escent, 6erceness, feignedly, ghastliness
gnawed. heiress, Mysteries, imbecility. in.
conceivable, inconvenience, inefficient. If.
resistible. The comparative results show
that the pupils Of 1916 answered 400 per
cent Of the words correctly, those Of 1905
51.2 per cent, while the Cleveland pupil,
in this year of grace spelled 61.2 Der cent
correctly. In the case of the arithmetic
papers, the percentage of correct replies
for 1e46 was 4O.6,>in Springfield last yea
II was 62.1, and in Cleveland school a.

A CENTURY AGO.

The White House Of to-day, with it1
recent scenes Of luxury, offers q curious
contrast to the Executive Mansion of
a hundred years ago. After reading
the accounts Of the wedding decora-
lions in honor Of the Presidents daugh-
ter, one Is interested to rec what Mrs.
Adams, the Presidents wife, says Of
the dwelling in 1900:
1.-The White House Ia built on grand
and superb scale. It takes thirty ser
wants to attend to the work. One Sc
rious lack Is that there are no bells
In this great castle. Another II that
there is no yard In which to hang
clothes, and they have to be dried In
the large audience-room. There are
not enough lamps by twentieth part
to light the house, and there are no
looking glasses but dwarfs. Tea-par-
ties have become very expensive. Not
only tea, but coffee, negus, cake and
sweetmeats are presented"
Life in those days was on a simpler
and homelier plan than now. Imagine
a diplomatic caller Of the present fnd-
Ing the family wash tapping about in
the audience room! The big automo-
bile that carried the newly married
couple Of the other day away from the
White House would not have found
such easy going in those good old times.
In the heart Of the city the wheels Of
the gilded carriages rolled through OF
stuck In the mud.
II went to CALL" writes one Washing
tonian, '.and my carriage sank up 70
the axletrees. It had 10 be dragged ont
and scraped to remove the mud and
slush. which stuck like glue"
The Rev. Manasseh Cutler, dining
with the President, reports q menu
eonsisting Of fried eggs and fried beet ;
turkeys, ducks, and rounds Of beef; and
new foreign dish Of macaroni-"
There was also q new kind Of pud-
ding. very light and covered with cream
sauce" which took the good parsons
fancy.
In 1909 the White House was ~
furnished "splendidly" ut an expense
Of 5000.

Democrats in Illinois.

St. Louis Republic: In 1900
McKinIey's plurality in Illinois
was 1924. In 1904 RooseveIt's plu
raIity was 3o5.O39. a difference of i
little more than 10000 in favor OF
Roosevelt
The difference represents only 4
slight gain in the republican vote and
a great slump in the democratic vote.
McKinley's vote in 1900 was 597. 9S5
and Roosevelt's four years later co.
Gi5. That is. the republican vote in
creased in the four years less than
$4,000.
In 1900 the vote for Bryan in Illinois
was 503,061. For Parker in 1904 il was
only 327 500. The record shows. there
fore, that in the four years the demo
cratic vote in Illinois fell off just 49,
ass.
All these democratic voters did not
die or move out of the state during the
four years, and though a few of them
may have helped to swell Roosevelt's
plurality, they did not turn into re-
publicans. They just stayed at home
or went fishin' on the day of the last
presidential election. They are still
there in Illinois waiting upon time and
occasion to come out of the woods and
vote straight for Old-fashioned demo
crazy, the kind they are used to.
The state offices to be filed by elec-
ton in Illinois this year are not so i'm
portant as that of governor, and they
are of the kind that do not appeal
strongly to partisan prejudice or pas
sion. But the state superintendent of
public schools and the regents of the
great University of Illinois are officers
to whom no good citizen can be indif-
ferent. Democrats of the state will
eagerly turn out to vote for good can
didates of their party.
In the supreme court district eiec-
ton. which comes in June. the demo-
Gratis are directly Interested for the
success of men in whose ability, fair
ness and judicial temperament. free
from partisanship, they have fun conf
dence. In too many instances the fac
tionaI fight between CullOm and Yates
has influenced the preliminaries for the
judicial conventions on the republican
side. The democrats should be pre-
pared t. like any partisanship of
this kind at the polls.
But ii is in recovering their county
offices and in electing members of the
legislature that the democrats of Hi
nois may hope to attain the best re-
suits in the political contests OF this

Dick Yates Then and Now.

According to exGov. Yates speeches
the federal courts are using officers OF
the court TO build up candidates to fur
Their the federal machine" When
democratic speakers, newspapers and
candidates have made the same asser
ton for years. when the democrats
said, what history Will record. that
there have been more graft. jobbery,
trading federal offices TO carry election
holding up insurance companies,
trusts. banks for campaign money for
the last 10 years, than can be recorded
against all the administrations since
the declaration of independence.
Mr.. Yates, as one of the republican
spellbinders. scOrned at the charges
and said they were democratic lies.
But not until he himself, found this
federal machine" bitterly opposing
him in his ambition to become United
States senator does he realize the truth
of democratic assertions concerning
the corruption.
