IDAHO FALLS, Feb. 1I.-It seems to
be out of the question for Idaho Falls
to have baseball club this year. In the
spring OF 1911 several persons formed an
association and called on the business
men TO subscribe $50 each. the provision
being that it would not go unless there
were one hundred signatures.
The required number OF signatures
were obtained and Idaho Falls had good
ball team, but a rather expensive one.
At the end OF the season the associa-
tion had an Indebtedness Of over $4,000.
An effort was made to collect from those
who had subscribed. Some responded
but others would not and the conse-
quences were that a short time ago suit
was filed in the district court against

ATHLETICS DO NOT
ABBREVIATE LIFE
BY international News Service.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Feb. 17.-Prof.
William Anderson, head OF tho Yale gym
nasium, reports that his investigation of
1892 students since 1852. the period OF
collegiate athletic record shows that ath-
letics have no effect on shortening life.
He found few deaths from heart disease
and thereby exploded a theory that ath-
letics often caused organic heart weak
ness.
The deaths OF athletes In Yale's first
half century of sport number 5s OF
these, IL were caused by consumption
and by pneumonia, by typhoid, were
drowned, died from heart disease. while
the rest died from various causes, z
having committed suicide. OF the 10,922,
9516 are alive, 1906 dead. DR.. Anderson S
conclusions are;
1.-THE Yale athlete does not die young
nor is heart disease a leading cause OF
death. Lung trouble is the cause OF the
greatest number Of deaths, hut the per-
centage OF men dying from these causes
Is not greater than the expected deaths
among non-athletes from similar causes"

QUEEN ALExANDRA'S CHARITY
British Home and Hospital at streat-

Her Majesty's Efforts.

Queen Alexandra of England has a
pet charity in the British Home and
Hospital for Incurables at Streatham.
Founded in 1861, the institution soon
became totally inadequate to care for
the enormous number of cases which
came under its province.
In 1868. however. according to the
Bystander, Queen Alexandra. then
princes of Wales. became a liberal
supporter. Through her donations
and the influence of her patronage
funds poured into the hospital until
1t gained a sound financial basis. For
many years it was situated In Clap

came so crowded that new quarters
were sought at Streatham. The pres.
