The ancient Olympic games, on
which the modern ones are based,
were held in Athens every four years,
from n BIG. c. to 1893 A. D. They were
then abolished by the Emperor Theo-
sius. Records were kept for the en-
tire 1900 years. The games were re-
vived in 1896, when they were held
in Athens. In 1900 they were held In
Paris, in 1904, in st. Louis, and in 1906
in Athens. The United States has TAX
en- first honors in every year of the
revival.
The victory won by the four-scort

c. w. Ashford's complaint about the
use of the term "wirelessed" as a verb,
appears to be technically well ground
ed, but it is useless. The word has
come to stay. Such terms spring into
being regardless of the rules of philo-
logy, and amid much crashing of teeth
by those whose sensibilities are af-
fected, they find their way into the
dictionaries in the end. 1t used to
be very exasperating to many to see the
word suicide" used as verb. But
the news editors kept cheerfully on
using it and now what was once q
great atrocity has become very COM
mon. 1t will have to be accepted. BY
coincidence, just after reading Ash
ford's complaint l ran across, in the
letters of Benjamin Franklin, his OBJ
jections to various misuses of English

of the term improve" as meaning

ETC., his complaint being that it was
coming to be generally applied to mean
mere betterment of any kind, such fol-
example as improving property. The
use objected to is in the dictionaries
now. Who would think of complains

WOULD PREVENT
SPRING FLOODS

The greatest development of water
power that has ever taken place in the
United States has been accomplished
during the last few years on the riv-
ers which drain the Southern Appala-
chain Mountains, according to an off,
clal report on the water resources Of
this region. It is estimated that
there is at least 100000 indicated
horsepower developed by the streams
which have their headwaters on this
watershed, and more than half of this
indicated power is available for econ
omic development.
Only comparatively small part Of
this has been made use OF yet, but the
portion that has been utilized has
been one Of the most important fac
tors in The recent industrial develop
mcnt Of the South. In Inc future the
use Of this power and it's value are
bound to increase tremendously.
Manufacturing plants are constantly
increasing" in number in the region,
and ii is reasonable to expect that IN
time the center Of the cotton weaving
industry in The United States may be
moved from The streams Of New Eng
land where it has remained for so
long. nearer 10 the source Of supply
For the raw MATERIAL
Moreover, watcrpowcr, or power
originating in the streams, will be
more and more in demand here, as
everywhere else in the country, on ac-
count of the increasing cost Of fuel
power through dwindling fuel resour
ces Of the country. Already the water
power costs much less than the fuel,
and the difference will inevitably
grow greater. One great difficulty Of
the users of water power, not only in
the South but along the New Eng
land streams as well, though possibly
to a less degree, is the fact that it
can moi be depended upon the year
around, but must be supplemented
and replaced for some weeks or
months every summer by costly fuel
power. because The streams run too
low to be OF service.
More than this, as the years go ON
mill owners are painfully aware that
the l"w-water periods are growing
longer and longer This is because
the forests ut the hcadwatars Of the
streams are being cut off, with the re-
Sult that the melting winter SHOWS
and the spring rains pour off the de-
nuded and hardened land in devasta-
ting floods, sending down for few
weeks far more water than they can
use and moreover, reducing the capa-
city and usefulness of their millponds
by filing them with hundreds of tons
Of sand and soil which the floods
scour off The unprotected upper
slopes.
Nowhere are business men wider
awake to the danger than in the
South. IF indiscriminate cutting of
the forests on the crcsts Of the water
shed can be stopped, there is posi-
bility, according to recent report Of
experts, Of increasing the develop
ment Of power up to anywhere from 3
to 80 times the 100000 horsepower
AT present available. Without it, al
most nothing can be done. The meth
cd proposed to develop the Appala-
chian river resources to the total Of
42,0o0,0oQ horsepower is by storage
reservoirs, which would eaten the sur
plus waters Of the spring and retain
them until the summer months when

THE STUPID SWAN.
Graceful and Beautiful, the Bird 10 q
Nincompoop.


To the mind Of the average farmer
nothing which walks on two legs Is
quite so stupid as hen. He Is mis-
taken, though, for there still remains
that beautiful, graceful nincompoop,
the common swan. The swan is so
stupid that 1t viii stand In the shallow
part OF pond and allow the water to
freeze round Its legs TIL the Ice is so
thick that 1t cannot lift Its feet and 1t
Is stuck fast. Not infrequently owners
Of these handsome but witless birds
are compelled to chop away sufficient
Ice to make 1t possible for them to
withdraw their imprisoned feet.
The stupidity of the swan in this
respect is emphasized by the intelli-
gence exhibited by ornamental ducks
when the weather turns cold Az
night comes on and the water begins
to freeze the ducks begin swimming
in wide, well defined circle. Round
and round they so during the entire
night, keeping all the water within
that circle free from Ice, so that when
the day dawns they can float about
and doze in the sun. Ducks are al.
ways most active during the night and
choose the day for sleeping.
But to return to the swan. If you
find one of these birds some distance
from the water and startle 1t, the swan
VIII rush few feet toward the pond
and then drop down on the ground and
try to go through the motions Of swim
ming, apparently unable in Its fright
to realize that 1t has not vet reached
the water.
Neither is the common swan a good
fighter The black swan, although
one-half Its size, is Invariably the vic
tor In the eombats which are some
times engaged In and generally kills
Its antagonist. The black swan usually
provokes the fight too, for 1t is rather
a quarrelsome bird. Washington Star.
