"Any person who is or has been By
trade or employment for wages me-
chanic, artisan or laborer, or engaged
in any mental duty, or who has ever
been employed in or about boats or In
manual labor for money or wages, is
barred from rowing on a crew in the
regatta next summer at the Olympic
games in England, even If he Is an
American" That is in substance the
announcement issued the other day
by Julian w. Curtiss, who, with James
Pilkinton, formed the special commit
tee on rowing of the American
Olmpian committee. 1t was included
in a lengthy statement regarding the
conditions under which the Olympian
rowing races will be contested. The
inclusion of these qualifications, al
though in a great measure expected,
will come as a sort of shock to many
American oarsmen. 1t shows that the
American committee has bowed to the
will of the Britons in this matter, for
the English believe that only gentle
men" should compete in athletics. II
by any chance the American commit
tee should choose as member of the
Olympic crew a man who at some
time or other during his life had to
ply trade for living he can be
promptly protested by the English
men. The statement further sets
forth that the regatta will be held at
Henley-on-Thames on July % and the
following days, over course about
mile and half in length. The events
will be races for Fights, tours and
pairs and sculling races. Only two
entries are allowed from each coun-
try. Entries must be made by
June 1.

Dan Kelly, the Oregon sprinter, who
is credited with running 100 yards in
9 3-5 seconds, after considerable argu-
ment as to the authenticity of the
figures, makes the statement that no
man will ever be able to run the 100
yards in nine seconds fiat unless the
runner can beat the starters gun in
getting away from the mark. Kelly
first made this statement when Arthur
Duffey made the prediction that 100
yards could and would be stepped off
in that time. Kelly, in recent letter
to a friend, said: 1.-THE only way the
nine-second mark could be reached
would be to beat the gun. To legiti.
mately do the 100 yards in nine sec.
onds is impossible. The speed limit
will have been reached when the
Splinter is developed who can do the
distance in 2-5 seconds" Men well
posted in the sprinting game think
Kelly is right, and point to the fact
that it is we'll known that several rec.
ords now on the books were made by
beating the gum" Possibly Kelly's
9 3-5 was made in that way.

To Avert Blindness.

Blindness is SO apalling a calamity
to the individual aud the maiute-
nance OF persons SO cruelty disabled
is so heavy tax upon the commu.
nifty that the public will be startled
to learn from State Health Com
missioner Dixon that a very large
proportion of blindness is prevent
able and that there is already on
the statute book a law designed to
effect the prevention.
An inflammation of the eyes is very
common in infants few days after
birth. If neglected or improperly
treated this often results in total
blindness. Mothers, midwives and
nurses are Often ignorant of the
proper treatment, so that large
proportion OF blindness beginning
soon after birth is the result of
Ignorance and neglect. 1t is fright
ful to contemplate the lifelong mis-
cry resulting from incom mpetence in
the care of infants
DR.. Dixon directs the attention
of health officers all over the State
to law enacted thirteen years ago
requiring all midwives and nurses
to notify the local health officer
Immediately of case of intlamma.
ton of one or both eyes of an in
fant within two weeks after birth.
The health officer shall at once in
form the parents of the danger of
this inflammation and give direc-
tions for proper treatment.
DR.. Dixon supplements this by
instructing all health officers to in
form the minwife or nurse wha; to
do until the family physician can
reach the case, and, if the family
has no physician, to urge upon the
parents the necessity Of calling one
at once. With this there is a pre-
scription for a wash that may be
applied to the eyes to check the in
lammation until a doctor can sec
the case.
More than one-third of the per.
sons admitted to the Pennsylvania
School for the Blind during the
past eight years lost their sight as
the result of the neglect of tleir
eyes soon after birth, and this ac-
ton of DR.. Dixon ought to do much
to awaken midwives, nurses and
local officers to a sense of the re-
sponsibilities and the peril and even
inhumanity of failing to get medi-
cal attendance Immediately for
young infants with inAamed eyes.

HUNTING WITH DOGS.

A petition to the State Legisla-
ture is being circulated by promi-
nent citizens Of Lycoming county
asking for the enactment of law
which will make the hunting OF
pheasants and other birds with dogs
illegal. The sportsmen believe
that in a few years the pheasants
and many other birds will have
been exterminated from the Penn
svlvana woods unless strict legls-
lation is enacted to save them. The
hunting of birds with the aid of
dogs is INDUCED in so extensively
that in a patch of woods few
hunters easily kill every bird and
the species can in a very short
time become instinct. From the
number of signers secured to these
petitions already the papers will
likely go to Harrisburg bearing
the names of thousands of men.

EARTHQUAKE KILLS MANY.
Italy the Scene Of Death and Devastation.

ltaly's fateful earthquake region
has again suffered a visitation of
death and ruin, and the cost in
lives is estimated in thousands.
By a series of violent shocks
early Monday morning in Sicily
and i'll Calabria-the toe of the
boo" cities were shattered and in
habitants awoke to find their
houses falling about them. How
many are buried in the ruins cannot
be even approximated, but the
number undoubtedly is fearfully
great. Many other thousands are
homeless. Mcssina, city Of oo,-
900 inhabitants, is reported half
destroyed.
Catania, another seaport city OF
Sicily, was largely inundated by a
tidal wave and there was large loss
OF life by drowning. In the harbor
over 500 boats were swamped
and a number Of steamships were
wrecked.
Two coast villages are reported
to have disappeared.
The devastation was terrible and
widespread. Telegraphic and tele
phonic communications were al
most completely destroyed.
The earthquake centred in the
volcano region which includes
Stromboli and Mt. Etna. Etna is
said to be in terrific eruption.
Stromboli is upon an island north
Of Sicily.
1t is estimated that over $4,000
lives were lost.

Mid-Winter Styles in Dress.

IF you are planning to have a
new winter gown after The holi-
days. writes Grace Margaret
Gould in U0man'S Home CombaR-
len for January, there are one or
two things | want to call your at
tention to in regard to materials
amp trimmings. All the new fab
RIGS have sheen effect, whether
they are wool or silk. Fine cash
mere, which has such a wonderful
luster, is reliable and a fashionable
material The chiffon broadcloths
are still the vogue. and wool satin
and henrietta cloth are desirable
materials. 1t is unwise to select,
even for a winter gown, too heavy
a material. The new style of dress
demands light weight fabrics. much
plain tucked net matching the ma
terial Of the gown in color is used,
and the maline nets braided are
newer than the filets. For a gown
which you wish to wear in the ev-
ening or for informal social affairs
there is nothing better than the
lovely new crepes, which are so
soft and shimmery. Messaline and
satin are still being much worn.
In the way of colors, all of the
shades of gray are in high favor
and are to be recommended bee use
of their neutral inconspicuous color.
Taupe. which has an undertone of
dull green, is extremely fashion
able, but the woman of pale COM
pleXion should avoid it unless it is
frightened up with a touch CT some
color which she knows is particu-
larly becoming to her. Mole, ele-
phant and London smoke are all
good gray shades. Catawba, dregs
of wine, wistaria and amethyst are
fashionable shades, and hunter $
green is also in demand. In regard
to the blues, which are apt to be so
universally becoming, there are a
number of fashionable shades.
There is tint known as Edison
blue, which reminds one of Alice
blue, hut is darker. The blues
with either tint of green or an
undertone of gray are also good
style. Not in long time has black
been considered as smart as it is
