G. A. r. Veterans Plan Running in
Lonq Relay Race.

Pittsburgh, Pa. Dec 30.-"Old Sol
der" Barnes, 6S years old. has taken
mp the challenge issued by Col. James
l.. Smith of Michigan to race a relay
team of ten Grand Army veterans over
a ten-mile course for a purse of $1,000
at the encampment at Los Angeles In
June. Barnes has already started to
organize his team, and one OF the first
entries received was that of Rev. John
f. Edmond. aged So. of Creston, Ohio,
who is better known as the athletic
parson." Edmond says he will walk
from his home to Los Angeles to train
for the event.
"Old Soldier Barnes is we'll known
as a long distance runner and walker.
He has participated i'm many races,
especially during the last fifteen years,
and has made creditable record both
here, i'm Philadelphia. St Louis and
Madison Square Garden, New York, In
each of which places he has won first
prizes. Barnes who resides at Spring
dale, is a notary public with offices
i'm Fourth avenue, Pittsburgh. He de-
clares that he has no fear of the out
come, and that he and his team Will
win the race. He doesn't want the
81 ,0OO and says If he wins he will give
il to charity.
The conditions of the race are that
each man must run full mile, each
man of the team being numbered and
each must receive a flag from his
teammate at the start Of his mile,
passing it on to the next at the finish.
Barnes says he will accompany his
runners the whole distance. He has
accepted the challenge of Col. Smith
for a twenty-five mile jog from Detroit
to Pontiac, Mich. this summer just for

In the course of his remarks on the
indeterminate sentence law, Judge Per-
kins of Grand Rapids said that he be-
lleved II Is i'm harmony with modern
penology, but urged that the affairs
of the pardon board should be filled
by experts and not politicians looking
for an easy job.
Warden James Russell, of Mar
quette, approved Of the indeterminate
sentence law, stating that in his judy
ment IL was invaluable I'm handling
convicts. particularly first termers.
Although have in my charge a
large proportion of convicts sentenced
for life, there is not man under
punishment now, not a man wearing
a striped suit, which is the uniform
Of the persistent, III offender against
the prison rules" said the warden.
The warden said that since Septem-
Der. 1903 when the law went into eff
feet. there have been 500 convicts par
oiled: 226 discharged at the expiration
of their parole and 81 now out on par
ole and making good. He referred to
the fact that this showed that "a per
cent OF those released have become de-
cent citizens and added that there have
| been almost as many released in this
way as there are now in the prison
the total number Of inmates being 900
OF the 1O2 parole violators 50 have
been recaptured.
1T is my belief" said the warden
that with a judicious administration
of the indeterminate sentence law. and
the right kind of men i'm charge OF
our penal institutions. the flrst-ti
convict who has had his chance and
failed to make good use of it may be
safely assumed to be irreclaimable
That class of convicts constitute 9
part Of the wastage Is humanity
which should be dealt with solely with
reference to the safety of society"

DR.. Leonard Hin. who has just COM
pleted a series of remarkable expert
ments at the London Hospital con
not be kept pure no matter what the
system of ventilation is.
DIR. Hill is a lecturer on physiology
at the London Hospital and for some
time he has devoted himself to the
study of the effect of subteManean
work on human beings His work
embhasIzed the danger of bringing iii
vers out of the water too quickly and
his suggestions have done much to
make their calling less hazardous.
AS the result of his most recent eX-
perlments DIR. Hill contends that ven
tilation is not question of the chemi-
cal purity of the air, but that the evils
of illy-ventilated rooms arise almost
entirely from their excessive dryness
and to a certain extent from the Of
fensive smell.
The ideal temperature for a room In
which a number of people are gathered
| is from 81 TO 60 degrees, nc says. Ac-
cording TO the rules of the Home Office
only | To 2 per thousand of carbonic
acid should be allowed in a room. but
DR.. Hill states that 20 to 80 parts per
thousand will do no harm If the air is
kept cool.
The experiments took place in q
chamber eight feet high and four and
one-half feet square. In this small
space DIR. Hill crammed eight healthy
medical students and sealed them In.
They remained there half an hour until
the chamber contained to per cent
of carbonic acid and Is per cent Of oxy-
gen. The temperature rose to S5 de-
grees and as the air became saturated
with moisture the students became in
tensely hot and uncomfortable. When
they were examined their pulse show
ed an acceleration beyond what would
lbe normally experienced i'm a cool place.
The doctor then set a number of cleo
trio fans in the top of the chamber In
motion. The students in a short time
were able to endure the heat and even
TO work In comparative comfort in spite
of the close confinement and the high
percentage of carbonic acid in the air.
This was because the air at S5 degrees
was cooler than the bodies of the sub
jects and while In brisk motion IL was
sufficient to make them quite comfort
able.
| DR.. Hill in his lecture on the result
of the experiments declared that the
age of heating houses and trains In
winter was coddling the race and tend
ing to break down the natural defen-
sive mechanism of the body, rendering
| II thereby more liable to illness. He
said
| cold air makes us more active ia
warm ourselves, makes us do more
breathing and gives us a better appe-
lite. The system is toned up and we
take i'm more food and oxygen. Hol
dry air dries up the throat and makes
lpeople prone to infective disease. In
America, where they pump dry air into
their schools there is very higf
rate OF diphtherla. Instead of having
Iartificial methods for keeping oui
rooms hot we ought to have means foi
keeping them cool"
