ST. Yves was a waiter in a London
restaurant a year ago without dol
lar. Falling victim to the Marathon
fever, he took up running and quickly
demonstrated that he possessed ster-
ling qualities Al COPELAND, Princeton's
athletic trainer, heard of st. Yves a
few weeks ago and brought him to
the United States, but as nobody had
seen him in action and as COPELAND pre-
pared him for the race in compare
tive secret at Princeton he did not re-
ceive serious consideration by the gen
eral sporting public in calculating the
respective merits of the six starters.
In appearance ST. Yves is not run
ner. He is short in stature. built like
a wrestler, with powerful legs, broad
shoulders, deep chest and muscular
arms. His hair is light and his small
mustache does not hide an excellent
set of teeth.

time than that recorded in any of the

NEW LIFE INSURANCE PLAN.
Comments on Scheme to ProIons Life
of Policy Holders.

Comments on Scheme to ProIong Life
of Policy Holders.
A new method of increasing the in
comes of life insurance companies was
advocated by Dr. Burnside Foster,
editor of the St Paul Medical Journal
of st. Paul, Mimi, at a meeting of the
Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents in the assembly hall of the
Metropolitan Life company in New
York city the other day. DR.. Foster
Is a life insurance examinerSn Mime
sofa.
His plan In brief is that the COM
panies should establish a regular med
ical examination of all their policy
holders every five years, with view
to ascertaining whether or not they
had acquired any of the preventable
diseases since the time of their last
previous examination.
The benefit of the policy holders, he
said, would come by the discovery Of
such disease, which they could take
measures to either cure or by change
of method of living prolong their lives.
The companies, the doctor explained,
would not only be conferring an in
calculable benefit upon their policy
holders. but by the extension of the
life of their risks they would be in
creasing the premiums from those
risks who would otherwise have died
and not only ceased to be assets, but
Nm IsaI I,o1 Ia
disease driven them to their death.
Comments by the insurance officials
present were all based on the nonprac-
ticability of the scheme, mainly be-
cause of its expense. DR.. Thomas III.
Willard, medical examiner of the Met
ropolitan Life. declared that inc his
company there We're upward of 5,000,-
600 policies, now in force for over five
years in the Industrial department
alone. To re-examine these risks, he
said, would cost not less than $2,500,-
600.
The ordinary policy holder, he said,
would be scared to death" at any at
tempt to re-examine him, and the man
who consented to such re-examina-
ton and received clean bill of health
would be inclined to let his policy
lapse If it became the least bit irk-
some.
Dr. f G. Wells, medical examiner
of the Equitable Life, and DR.. Oscar
II. Rogers of the New York Life also
dissented.
The scheme is only a suggestion at
best said DR. Foster in reply. ''but
the idea of preventive medical work
will grow and is growing daily, though
proper preventive medical work, to
be carried ON rightly, should better be
conducted by the state"

To Stop Its Crack and Make Bell of as
Good Sound as In 177S.
Shall the crack in the Liberty bell
be repaired? Representatives of an
old world firm of bellmakers have
laid before Mayor Reyburn of Phila-
delphia proposition to make the re-
pairs so that once again the people
may hear peals from the bell which
announced to new nation its indie
pendence. They have secret process,
but are willing to enter bonds in any
amount and to do the work without
taking the relic from Independence
hall.
Mayor Reyburn is anxious that the
people shall express their opinion, but
hisSpersonal view is that there may be
a general sentiment against repairs.
Said he the other day "There is a
historic sentiment connected with the
crack itself. The bell cracked at the
funeral services of Chief Justice Mar
shall, and every schoolboy who has
seen picture Of the bell knows of
that crack. Still, it might be of inter
est to the people to hear the Liberty
bell peal exactly as it did in 1916, and
the bellmakers assure me that the re-
pairs they win make viii not make the
slightest difference in the tone of the

Minnesota Professor Claims to Utilize
Sawdust Also.
A chemical discovery which is ex-
pected to make wood pulp and paper
products many times more plentiful
and much cheaper than they are at
present was recently announced at the
State university in Minneapolis, MINI.
The discoverer is Or. George B.
FrankfBrter, dean of the College of
Chemistry who has worked on the
process for more than twelve years
The discovery makes possible the man
ufactnre of paper from fir trees, saw
dust and waste timber
The pulp for paper at present is
made only from spruce. The supply of
fir is 100 times greater than the supply
of spruce, and DR.. Frankforter and
those associated with him say the new
pulp process will be more economical.
AS proof of the value Of his discov-
cry DR. Frankforter shows a table re-
cording his experiment with one cord
OF fir wood. The wood cost him $3.50,
and from it he obtained wood pulp
worth $50, turpentine worth $41.6O and
byproducts Of lesser value. The
waste that Is now burned or thrown
away. DR. Frankforter says, can be
used as well as the fresh cut wood.

President Taft's Plans For Outdoor
Social Center In Washington.
President Taft has decided to make
the Marine band earn its salary and
at the same time create in Washington
an outdoor social center similar to the
Molecon in Havana, the Lunetta in
Manila, Hyde park in London and the
Court of Honor in Florence. He will
have the band play twice a week on
the banks of the Potomac river, at a
point on the Speedway near the Wash
ington monument
The idea is said to be Mrs. Taft's,
and many prominent Washington peo-
pie are expected to kurn out ON the
days designated. In order to give, the
innovation an official character the
president and Mrs Taft will attend
the first concert on April IA and all
subsequent concerts while they are in
town.
Major Cosby, superintendent of pub
lie buildings and grounds, has received
instructions to erect band stand of
suitable character.
1t is not improbable that Mr.. Taft
will ask the next session Of congress
for an appropriation to improve and

The most thorough tests made in the
United States were published ten years
ago when statistics were taken from
many sources showing the gradual In
crease in height and weight of Amer
lean men and women.
Then the average height was found
to be about 6S15 inches; chest meas
urement, SO inches; with inflated chest,
40 inches; waist, % inches; hip, 80
inches; thigh, 211a inches; calf, 49,
inches, and weight, 160 pounds. i
Then it was said that a glance over
10000 college men showed an average
increase in weight for forty years of
three pounds and an average Increase
in height of an inch, with the fresh
men classes showing two inches better
average than their fathers had shown,
The average was likewise shown to
have gained an inch in height and five
pounds in weight.
The records have not been kept with
any uniformity either as to ages and
numbers tested or as to form of re-
cording the measurements, but the
general indication is that the human
family, as -typified by the American
college boy, is growing and developing
in weight in height and in the general
points that go to make up the units of
strength
None Of the new averages for wom-
en- has been produced, but the last gen
eral record showed an average height
Of 5 feet inches, weight of 125
pounds, bust Of from IS to 36 inches,
waist of "a inches and neck of i13
