When You Can't sIssp.

There is an odd theory, which many
people believe and which is certainly
harmless, that sieeplessness may often
be cured IN the following odd way:
Move your bed out into the room so
that no part Of bed or covers will touch
the wall. Then place under each caster
Of the bed piece of rubber or rub
ber overshoe or set the caster in a
thick glass dish. Then 60 to bed, max
ing sure the covers do not touch the
wall. Thus the bed and yourself will
be cut off from all electric contact with
floor or wall. Such absence of electric
contact, it is claimed, will make you
sleep better. 1t is said to have cured
stubborn cases Of insomnia.

Some Odd Ideas That Prevailed In tho
Eighteenth Century.
AS far back as 1874 the American
public were led to believe that the
Atlantic had been crossed in a bal
loon. On May % in that year the
New York Sun published detailed
account Of an aerial voyage from Liv-
erpool to Charleston, which purported
to have been accomplished by "the
steering balloon Victoria in a period of
seventy-five hours from land to land"
Five columns were devoted to the de-
scription Of the journey and to a SCI
entific account Of the balloon, OF
which woodcut was given, and an
air of verisimilitude was added by a
list of eight passengers, one of the
names mentioned being that Of Harri-
son Ainsworth, who was then at the
height of his fame.
At the end Of the eighteenth century
balloons were oil the rage. Then, as
now, enthusiasts predicted time near
at hand when war would either be an
awful matter Of the annihilation Of
armies and forts by bombs from above
or would cease altogether through the
abolition Of frontiers and the fusion
Of nations. Prophecy went even fur
ther.
Canals and roads were to vanish and
the space occupied by them to be, re.
stored to agriculture. And ships Qf

Georgetown Gym Meet to Be Novel

Judging from the events which are
programmed for the spring indoor meet
of the Georgetown Gymnasium Associa-
ton which is scheduled to take place at
Ryan gymnasium on the evening of Sat
urday, March 10. the affair will be the
most novel of an athletic nature ever
held in the District. Among the six
events listed only one has before found
its way in regular athletic tournament
in this city. this being the pole vault
Besides this there will be a contest for
| those excelling on the parallel bars and
another for those devoted to the hori-
zontal bar. The other events are the
german horse drill, the deep breathing
contest and a general physical drill re-
view.
AS will be readily noted the meet is
one in which the class work of the ply
steal culture class at the university will

we'll known athletes will find themselves
at a loss in contests Of this nature. AS
the days of meet is the Presidents holi-
day every endeavor is being made to
make 1t a big success and, judging from
the way the youngsters have taken 1t
up, there is no doubt that the ambitions
of it's promoters will be realized.
Medals of handsome design will be
awarded in each event. the relative
merits of the contestants being judged by

director of the university. The compiling

STAR ATHLETES PLAN
BRITISH INVASION
Melvin Sheppard and Harry
Gissing Will Sail for England
Early in April.

NEW YORK, March Fired by the
success of Nat Cartmell. the former Uni
versity of Pennsylvania sprinter. Melvin
W. Sheppard, IrishAmericen Athletic
Club. and Harry Gissing. New York
Athletic Club. plan an athletic invasion of
England. The pair have arranged to
leave New York early next month. and
expect to be abroad until the end of the
summer The fact that Sheppard is under
suspension by the Military League will
in no way affect the plans of the pair.
Sheppard has been anxious to return
to England since the London Olympic
games, nearly two years ago, when he
disagreed with the ma jority of the Amer
lean athletes who were members of the
United States Olympic team and declared
that the British athletic authorities had
accorded him fair and impartial treat
ment Since that time he has always
been outspoken in his praise of the Brit
ish athletic fairness.
The two athletes will be watched close
iy by the Amateur Athletic Union of the
United States and the Amateur Athletic
Association of England. although it Is
freely predicted by prominent athletic
authorities here that the pair will follow
the example of Cartmell and turn pro-
fessional should the inducements to do so
prove satisfactory.
There is one point about the trip that
IS puzzling to the A. A. L. officials, and
that is how men of the moderate means
of Sheppard and Gissng can afford to
spend the summer in England. The cost
of the trip, including the passage by
steamer, will be not less than ST 900 EACH
Irrespective Of the loss of salary during
the summer months.
Sheppard confidently expects reinstate-
ment by the Military Athletic League.
but should he fail in this he will not
abandon his trip, as there is no alliance
between that body and the Amateur Ath-
letic Association of England and he
would not be barred from amateur COM
petition on this account. The pair are
thoroughly representative of Americas
iddle-distance runners, and are among
the speediest half-milers in the country
In the London Olympic games. two
years ago. Sheppard won the sOO-meter
run in LA 40. and the 1,50O-meter event
in 4.O3 2-5. creating new records in each
event. Emilio Lunghi. the Italian, was
second to Sheppard in the SO0-meter race
while Wilson was runner-up in the long
distant event. Both of these men COM
peted in this country last summer under
the Irish-American Athletic Club colors,
and are in England at present. This
quartet constitutes the fastest middle
distance runners in the world, and will
furnish some spectacular races in Eng

ARE UP AGAINST IT.
Weeks to Come Are Trying Ones for
Ball PLAYERS.

For all except comparatively few Of the
regiment of base ball players now under
contract to major league clubs the next
six or eight weeks are the most trying of
the year, exceeding In individual anxiety
even the warmest weeks of hot cham
pionship finish. There are three classes
in that regiment-the experienced players
who are in their prime, consequently as
sured of their positions, the veterans who
have passed the noon hour of their hey
day and can see their suns settling to-
ward the western horizon. and the young
sters who have been selected as worthy
of chance to demonstrate their ability
to shine in the widest circle OF the sport
ing world. Only the first named class is
free from worry over making good for
the coming pennant races. and cOnsld-
cradle portion of that favored class still Is
anxious regarding the salary question.
There is nothing in base ball sadder than
the feelings of the veteran who has been
acclaimed q hero by hundreds Of thou
sands, but is nearing the day when his
strong throwing arm or his keen batting
eye will begin to weaken or fade. There
is nothing brighter than the hope yelling
in the breasts of the ambitious young
men who believe they have In them the
stuff of which diamond heroes are made,
whose muscles Of plant steel respond
eagerly to every opportunity and whose
vision is clouded only by the dread that
they may fail to attain their greatest
desire. In the next few weeks some or
these veterans whose brains still TEEN
with perfect knowledge of the science of
the game will find their speed sfackened,
their muscles less responsive and their
eyes more easily deceived by curve or
liner. The game is passing them, and
their best efforts will not hold their places
against the ambition of younger men. In
the same time there will be many more
OF the youngsters whose eager expec-
fancy is doomed TO Disappointment They
will find In major league base ball many
things Of which they never dreamed be-
fore. and that, no matter how great their
skill or swift their speed. if their brains
cannot act faster than all the rest of
their anatomies they cannot hope TO
compete with those born with the base
ball instinct. From hopes OF becoming
stars. they drop to wishing for substitute
berths and then to despair as the relent-
less manager sends them back whence
they came. Only as many young players
can obtain promotion as there are vet-
Grams retired from the ranks. and other
things being anywhere near equal the
veterans brains will hold his place for
him.

The division of receipts from these bye
series are hereafter to be made up on
the same basis as the worlds series, in
stead of allowing the interested clubs to
divide the money as they may see fit.
At the instance Of President Murphy OF
the Chicago National League club, a
change was also made in the drafting
rules by which minor league clubs are
given five days in which to accept or re-
ject offers of the return Of drafted
player when the player is about to be
disposed of to a minor league Of the
same class.
The application of William Dwyer, a
first baseman, to be declared a free agent

up there as usual
ITO my way of thinking there are about
four teams equally matched, who will
