avoid the fatigue which would be caus- ed by the eXertion of lifting the feet higher than is necessary.
 "A new runner always starts out with that fault, especially if he has had his start in the sprints, where almost without exception the athletes lift the feet and legs much higher than long distance men do.
 T have found in the many Marathon races in which I have run that I expe- rienced no trouble of fatigue in my body except in my feet and the calf of my legs-that is. unless I was physic- ally unfit for the race. Sam Miller and Tom Cook of New York and Boston are the cleverest runners in America to my notion. and Shrubb of England is another clever man who takes ad- vantage of every little point in his game His run at top speed resembles the glide more than that of any other man I have ever seen compete in a distance event, and he has been as suc- cessful as any runner in America"

Wash. a member cf the national guard who won the presidents trophy at the matches of the National Rifle association:
 congratulate you heartily upon win ming the presidents match. I feel that in this country. with our complex and rather overluxurious civilization. 1t is above all things important that there should be no falling of in the virile quail ities which make of the average man a good soldier as we'll as a good citizen. IL is absolutely essential that we should keep up a first class fighting navy. but in the event of a land war we should have to rely chiefly upon our volunteer forces. and when war has come it Is too late to teach a man how to become a really formidable shot. while good marks manship is one of the three or four vital iy important qualities in a really efficient soldier. As an cid national guardsman myself l feel an additional pride in your success. HARRY GRANT.

 IVA WME, ALLA NAZIMONA and
 EE Richard Carle. a most di-
 " vergent combination. have A A been rivals for the dollars of the first nighters and new play patrons of late.
 Mme. Nazinova produced at the Bi- jou puzzling nonattractive play by the late Henrik Ibson, entitled "The Master Builder" MT. Carle offered at Wallack's theater hIs newest musical comedy, "The Hurdy Ciurdy Girl'
 "The Master Builder" is typical of Ibsen in that it is mo'r or less sym bolical-probably much more rather than a great deal less, It is d case of an old man in love with q woman much younger than himself There is noth- ing new in this plot either on the stage or in real life, and SOre of the commentators on Ibsen state that the story represents an artual important episode in his own life. They aver that Ibsen at the age of about sixty fell in love with q charming young girl in Vienna, d girl about eighteen years of age
 Whether or not such be the case, Ib- sen did not succeed in building d drama that has any lasting power for American presentation "The Master Builder" has not the interesting in tersity and fOrCcfulness of "Hcdda Gabler" or does it hold ones attention as does "A Dolls House"

Mrs, Carter's New Play.

Theatrical wiseacres are vainly en- deavoring to guess the name and na- ture of the new play in which Mrs. Leslie Carter will appear later on in the season.
 John Luther Long is now engaged in writing the play, but he is proceeding under a cloak of secrecy not less than fathom thick. It has been hlnted that the play will be one of modern American life, but this hint is just as likely to be wrong as correct.
 Mrs. Carter has been booked for a tour in "Zaza' and "Du Barry to fill in the interim before her new drama is ready for production.
 Dallas WeIford. Who Played "Hoppy."
 Dallas Welford scored one of the biggest comedy .lits known in years two seasons ago at the Savoy theater, New York, and on tour, in MT. Hop kinson" written by an Englishman. Mr. Welford is Briton, too, and for about ten years he struggled against the fates and rivals in the English provinces Many failures only Whetted his appetite for another chance At times he would have to GO odd jobs of various sorts to eke out an eX- isten:e. Today, commanding his own price, he is not re1retting the weary years of 1rivation. Managers don't tell him coidly to leave his name and address" if he cares to, and that if by chance anything should turn up they will drop him a postal card if they think of it, have the price, the time and don't have anything else to do.
 Instead, managers are now only too ;-lad to get the chance to call around for Mir Welford and take him out for an automobile ride.
