Senator Beveridge's speech in advocacy of
his child labor bill beat all records for
years in point of length. He consumed the
greater part of four legislative days of the
senate in it's delivery, and when printed It
will fill about 800 pages of the Congressional
Record. It's unusual voluminousness is due
almost entirely TO the great number Ct eX-
tracts from statistical and other data on
the subject of child labor with which the
hoosier senator buttressed his argument,
The most of these he laborlously read dur
ing the course of his speech, though num-
erous of them were submitted without read
ing and will appear in their proper places
in the printed speech. The young Indiana
statesman showed neither physical nor
mental fatigue after he had finished his
remarkably long oratorical effort.

NOTABLE BICYCLE
 RACES

Atlantic City, N. J.. Aug, 5.-The Joint midsummer meeting of the Cycle Manufacturers and the Cycle Parts and Accessories association opened in Atlantic City today, will be rendered notable by reason of the two races to be held during the week. One of them, the Industrial handicap, twenty-five mile race open to all corners, promises to be, in point of number of entries and enthusiasm developed, the most i'm portant bicycle contest of the year. The prize list hung up by the bicy- cle manufacturers of the country is the most valuable ever offered since cycling was at the heighth of it's popularity as sport. The Young America five-mile handicap, open to boys under IS vars of age. has al so attracted much attention among youthful cyclists all over the East. Leading bicycle manufacturers from all over the country are in atten- dance at the business meeting and have contributed to the prize lists.

Tn. Last Natcn Saved Them

The ship had iata becalmed in trop- lcal sea for three days. Not a breath of air stirred taa nirrorlike surface of the sea or the limp sails that hung from the yards like drapery carved ill stone. The captain resolved to wait 10 longer. He plped up all hands on deck and requested the passengers to also come forward.
 Il must ask all of you,' he said, ito give ma every match that you have"
 Wonderingly the passengers and crew obeyed. The captain carefully arranged .he matches in his hands as eaeh man handed him his store until all had been collected Then he threw them all overboard but one, drew cigar from his pocket and, striking the soli- tary match on the mafnmaSt. endeay- pred to light it, Tn an instant furl ous gale swept over the deck. extin- guishe,i the match and filled the sails. and tia ggDd ship Mary Ann sped through t.lr waves OF her cUlrse.- Pearson Weekly.

Crowina Flowers En Winter.

A long run of dark days in winter is bad for the florists. It matters little how cold the weather is, provided there is sunshine, for the heat can al ways be maintained to the propei point, and with sunshine flowers wit bloom just as freely when the ther mometer shows an outdoor tempera ture of zero as at the freezing point though of course more money must be spent for coal. But when, day after day, for weeks at time. clouds over hang inc sky, nothing will grow as il should. The carnation buds develop slowly until they are half open and wait for sunshine, and if 1t does not come in four or five days the blooms decay, So also it Is with callas and roses. They will open halfway. then. without sunlight, will quickly spoll.- St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

The Cause of Snoring.

This is not for you, because you never snore No one ever does snore himself It is always the other fellow. But you can read this and then tell that guilty other fellow how to break himself of his bad habit, for snoring i5 merely bad habit and as such can be overcome. It i5 caused pri- mariiy by improper breathing g-that is, breathing through the mouth instead of through the nOstrjlS 80. first Of all, care should be taken during waking hours to breathe correctly. TAa habit once formed of keeping tha mouth as firmly closed as possible, he will be jess likely t2 sleep with 1t open.

Customs of Brittany.

Brittany alone, of all the provinces of France. seems to have preserved its types and individuality. To be Breton Is by no means to be French. The old men to this day chatter in the Celtic tongue. The Breton mother when not at work in the fields sits in the door of her cottage plying the distaff and recit ing the old legends and quaint folk songs to the white coifed baby beside her The Breton woman still wears the costume of her mothers before her and is satisfied in it.

THE PUGILISTS
TOMMY RYAN
 REAPPEARS
Will Meet Dave Barry To-Night After Absence of Many Years
 From the Ring.

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb 5.--The in- dications are that Wilmington park will be taxed to its utmost capacity tonight, when the fight between Tommy Ryan and Dave Barry of Cal ifornia takes place. The training quarters of both men were closed last night. Both are sanguine of success and say that they will have no excuse to offer in case of defeat The go will be for twenty rounds, with George Siler as referee.
 Kid Mccoy says in an interview that he will string his chances along with Ryan. He says that Ryan's wind is in excellent shape, his step elastic as ever, and that he will put Barry to sleep inside of ten rounds.
 Dave Barry says: Wait and see. Ryan is clever, but past the zenith of his glory. I expect him to keep me busy for several rounds, but 1 feel satisfied he cannot put me down, and after about the tenth round expect to be fully as fast and much stronger than he.
 T am confident of the last half of the contest, but concede that Ryan may outpoint me in the beginning.
 My condition is as good as possi- ble. l know the shifty possibilities of my opponent and his long record. The record is too long for Ryan to begin again. He can't throw off his years and put the spring of youth in his limbs"

ATHLETICS IN THIS STATE.
President Sullivan Says State of Af.
 fairs is Discouraging.

President James E. Sullivan of the
 Metropolitan association of the Anna
 teur Athletic Union of the United States, which includes New York,
 Connecticut and New Jersey north of
 Trenton, sent letter yesterday to
 the officers and managers of the as-
 sociatiOn, urging them to enlarge the
 membership of the Metropolitan as-
 sociation. President Sullivan says in
 his letter:
 It is not necessary for a club that desires membership in the Metropoli- tan association of the Amateur Ath-
 letic union to have a large and pala- tial club house. That's not neces. sary at all. The only requirement necessary is that 1t must be a club that encourages athletics. We don't want clubs that may be termed Paper Clubs" and have no object in living. We want clubs that give ath-
 letic games, closed and open; clubs that encourage some branch of ath- letics controlled by the Amateur Ath- letic union. We want scholastic, col legiate and play ground organiza- tions. Therefore, I do hope that
 those who know of athletic clubs in
 your vicinity will make 1t your busi- ness to call on the officers of the club -as representatives of the Amateur Athletic union-explain to them what
 1t means to become member of that
 body and get their application. If
 you have not the necessary time to do
 this. I feel confident that if you will
 forward to the chairman of the com
 mittee the name and address of the
 proper official of an athletic club that you know of the committee will do the rest.
 We must all admit that the state of affairs in Connecticut is discourag- ing. We have not one club in Con- Athletic union. And it's all wrong. Something must be done. Perhaps some member of our board can make a suggestion that would help out.
 The upper part of the state of New York is practically neglected. Buffa- To has but two clubs-both regimen tai organizations. The city of Buff falo should have at least six small athletic organizations members of the Amateur Athletic union. Cities like Elmira. Syracuse, Utica, Roches- ter. Troy and Schenectady must be interested.
 We have been working for years in connection with the Young Mems Christian association. and we have received from them valuable coop eration. They are going to help out. I feel confident that Dr J. Fisher. who is responsible for the condition of the | Athletic League of North America. | will gladly assist in this work and | explain to the different branches of | the Young Mems Christian associa- ton throughout our district that it is to their advantage to he in our or ganization---which means the better ment of athletics.
