Southern Atlantic Associa-
ton Adopts Two ImPor-
tant Measures.

DR. D. z. Wiber, who was elected
chairman OF the registration committee
Of the South Atlantic Association or the
Amateur Athletic Union at a meeting Of
the association In Baltimore on Monday
night. in discussing the meeting yesceT-
day. said that in his estimation IL was
one OF the most important sessions for
several years.
Two important measures were agreed
upon" said DR.. wiber. "the effects OF
which will be far-reaching. and their
moment can hardly be overestimated-
"The first topic under discussion was
the unnecessary and tiresome wrangllng
which characterizes so many of the
small meets. where the competitors

extremely apt TO prove deceptive. The

being a pair Of scales. In many events
the competitors do not sec each other
until lined up on the starting line, and
the common and very unsportsmanl.ke
thing to do Is to Immediately register
complaints against the men who look
older, and these are liable 10 be the
heavier men. The ruling that the weight
and age shall both appear on the entry
blank will put stop 10 this nuisance.
Our other reform was passed in order
TO put stop to proselyting among the
twenty-one athletic clubs that form the
Southern Association. There has been
a regulation fOrbidding the offer Of any
inducements to a member of one club
to join another, but It has been a dead
letter in some cases. because there was
no adequate penalty for its enforcement.
The fine OF SIS Imposed on the club for
any such attempt should make the can
vassers stop to think before they try 70

organization.
Pronounced Success.
"our meeting Monday night was A
pronounced success in many ways. I
do not remember seeing such large
attendance since have been connected
with the association, and the entire pro-
ceedings were marked by unanimity of
purpose and good feeling. Our system
of representation allows each club three
delegates and the same number of alter
mates. The Baltimore convention was
attended by the leading athletic pro
moters of this section, who came over
mainly in the interest OF the two meas
ures mentioned"

London, Nov. 3O-Unlike the pam.
pered, overdressed children of some
American millionaires, most of the
royal children of Europe are brought
up In a wholesome simplicity, even ap-
preaching Spartan severity in some
cases. The example for royal moth
ers to follow in not "coddling" their
children was set by Queen Victoria,
who, with the wise aid Of the Prince
Consort, raised large family of little
princes and princesses in an admira.

The German Crown Prince, who
has now two baby sons, is determined
to have them raised in the same plain

plenty of work, that he himself eXper

not likely to spoil" her boys, for she
Is imbued with the prevailing and sen
sible idea that royal children should
be fitted for the important roles des
tined for them not by pampering them
in nurseries de luxe" but by making
them live the hardy and healthy life ot
the normal middle class child.
Perhaps the most devoted mother
among royal ladies is the Princess o
Wales, whose children are the model:

Both at Oxford and Cambridge the

Czarevitch Is her greatest happiness.
She sees that they are fed on the

Three granddaughters of Queen
Victoria, who are now young mothers,
are all noted for their devotion to
their children. They are Queen Maude
Of Norway, Queen Victoria of Spain,
and the Crown Princess of Roumania.
Little Prince Olaf is the idol of his
mother as we'll as of the Norwegian
people. His mother is so passionately
devoted to him that she is jealous of
any stranger or hired nurse doing any
thing for him, and she is far happier
in the nurusery than at any court
function.
The young Queen of Spain, like her
cousin, Queen Maude, is quite

has the same anxiety to do everything 6
for him with her own hands. She,
too, prefers the motherly duties to the

much as she dates.
The beautiful Crown Princess of

Duke of Edinburgh, has conquered the

received her coldly, by her sterling

a BRO PROBLEM IN NEW zEA
LAND.


Those English sparrows haven't a
friend In the world. or at least In the
United States OF America, though they
manage to thrive amazingly while hui
man beings revile them. Starlings
imported from England are ircreas-
ing rapidly in the east, to the sorrow
OF the Inhabitants. But sometimes
the wish is expressed that we might
have an invasion OF such splendid
scngstores as the skylark. We would
welcome all but the undesirable for
eigners.
There is an article in The Sat
urday Review OF London on English
Birds In New Zealand" which raises
doubt whether there are any foreign
birds out OF the undesirable class.
Once they had piague Of caterpil'
lars In that country of up-to-date poll
tics. the native birds were unequal to
the emergency. and suggestions that
importations should be made from the
mother country were received with
Wild acclaim. The English sparrows
got In by a fiuke. but there was
warm welcome for the hedge sparrow,
the song thrush. the greenfiinch, the
chaffnch, the goldfinch, the redpon,
the yellow hammer, the starting. the
skylark and other birds. The cater
pillars, sweet memories, the home
sentiment all combined to make the
importing scheme popular one. but
the reaction has been something ter
rible. For out In New Zealand the
worm enting birds have acquired a
teste for grain and fruit and the farm
ers are filed with rage and despair.
That "blithe spirit" the skylark, is
ranked as feather pest. The black
bird, which John Burroughs describes
ar "our robin cut In ebony brought
exorbitant prices at first, but after II
had developed an awful appetite for
berries, apples and peas it was regard
ed as an ugly, sooty intruder and
greedy nuisance" Another home ia
vorite, the song thrush, Is now "plnced
fairly high on the list of mistakes
and. although there are some reser
vations on account of the starting.
the one certain exception, the one
bird that has not worn his welcome
out. is the hedge sparrow.
But 1t should be noted that the new
plague has driven away the old. that
the country is no longer devastated
by caterpillars. And possibly the un'
happy farmer who becomes pessimis
tic at the sight of pecked pear is
not wholly just to the birds. for II
IL certain that he has made no In
ventory of their insect food which
might tell OF the good they do. Wheth-
er we should try to follow New Zea
lands example is another question but
the leading singers in England's choir
would add something worth having to
our bird music.
