HEALTH LAWS HAVE.
 BEEN IMPROVED

Public Health Legisla ton, 1913" is the theme upon which Secretary Jos eph H. Townsend of the state board of health writes in the May bulletin of the department, his comments be- ing as follows:
 The General Assembly which ad- journed June 4, passed some excellent public health laws and improved by amendment some of the older ones First among these is the amendment to the , law concerning tenement houses. extending it's provisions to in clude towns and charging the town health officer with the duties assigned by the act to the building inspectors of cities.
 Among other laws may be mentioned an act concerning the bottling and sale of' drinking water, requiring all persons engaging in the business to take out a license from the state board Of health, which board must analyze the water and inspect the
 premises where bottling is done; ar act concerning the control of mos quito breeding places declaring any pool or receptacle near human habita- tions containing water breeding mos quitoes a nuisance detrimental to the public health and making the nuisance abatabIe by the health officer; an ac concerning the keeping of food pro- ducts in cold storage was passed in somewhat mutilated form and places l the matter in charge of the state board of health, who are authorized ! to make rules and regulations govern 1 ing the same; new midwifery law, p' O. viding for a single examining board l instead of three boards as formerly 1 and a law governing the sale of mar | cotic drugs. were also passed.
 1 The marriage law was amended SC
 that, hereafter, when both contracting l parties are non-residents of the towI where license is applied for, the regis
 trar cannot issue the license until f1v'
 days after the application. This Is '
 good law and will limit the marriage
 traffic now going on which our neigh
 boring states, which already have sucf l a law These acts will go into effec ] August l.
 l The bills designed to prevent th' l pollution of streams and tidal waters of the state again failed of passage
 except in so far as to authorize thi' board to investigate and report to thu l next legislature. This is to be re
 gretted and can only say as dit
 two years ago, that this Is the mos 1 urgent sanitary question in the stat' | today.

He was dragged several feet by the fender, before he was ex- tricated by Dr. Isal 4Hirata- of the New Haven hospital, who was return ing from the. game and was directly behind Armstrong. pr. Hirata sent for the New Haven hospital anbu- lance, but Armstrong, who insisted upon proceeding upon his way, got lost in the crowd. and when the ann bulance came he could not be found It was learned later that an ambu- lance from Grace hospital arrived on the scene before the New Haven hos pital ambulance, and Armstrong was taken to the former inStttution.
 It was stated last night that he would be able to leave the hospital in few days

OLYMPIC GAMES
 TO, BE ALL ALIKE
Want Rules Made So Countries Can't, Arrange Events for
 Own Benefit


 James E. Sullivan, who favors standard list of events and rules for Olympic games, may soon see his hopes realized As far back as 1900 MT. Sullivan made this suggestion. To- ward the end of the. summer the spe- cial convention which has been called for Berlin will take the question up and some definite action is antic1pat- ed The delegates who are to attend the convention have been charged to suggest to the International Olympic Council a standard programme which will be standard thetworld over.
 The need for this reform was just as strong a dozen years ago az it Is today, but it was reform that re- ouired most of these European na- tions possessed. There has never been a. standard list of events. The policy of the international council has all ways been to turn the management of the games over to the local commit tee to which the games were awarded. A certain amount of supervision has always been enforced. but for the most part the country holding the games was allowed considerable lat- , tude in making upz the list of events.
 The chief objection to this arrange ment was that the local committee naturally constructed programme best suited to the athletes of its own , country. In 1908, for instance, the British Olympic committee put on @ number of events in which England alone was strong and other countries weak. Other countries have not com p1ained against this as Intentionally unfair, but in the effort to roll up the score the home athletes have every advantage. Last year, for instance, the Swedes compelled the shotputters, discus throwers and 1avelin throwerE to be ambidexUous.
 Throwing those missiles with both hands was a novelty for this country and of the three the United States won only the shotput. With a stan dard list of events every country will know years in advance the events foy which 1t must prepare, and if 1t has mo entries it will have only itself tc blame.
 Another source of some contention which the coming conference ought to i remove is changes in the rules. The ! same regulations are not enforced ir all countries, Americans, for in- : stance, do not like the Olympic start ing rule. which makes no provision for penalizing a false start There has always been more or less criti
 cism of this by Americans. In 19Ot
 a charge was made that Walker bea
 the gun in the 100 meters dash.
 There was no charge of unfa1rnes
 @4 EhSckholm last year. but the know1
 @des oh rhe part of the athletes tha 9s@% Een1d not be penaldzed for zzEa start and their fear of being 1ef
 at the mark caused them to breal i continually, and so not only to ma ! the sport but greatly to delay tn
 games. It is believed that the Amer
 lean commissioners will strongly rec s ommend to the internatinaI council
 rule for penalizing false starts.

RED MURRAY OF
 GIANTS STAR OF
 N0TRE DAME TEAM

Red Murray, now star outhelder and hitter of the New York Giants, was one of the most famous players who ever competed in western college baseball. He was catcher for Notre Dame many years ago, and many stories have been told on his ability to hit the ball. Franklin Fox, now Q cartoonist on a Chicago newspaper, tells of game he played against Notre Dame. It was back in 1905 and Notre Dame was slowly crushing the Hoosier squad. 'Red'' Murray, who was catching for Notre Dame, had made a homer and a triple his first two trips to the plate. His third at tempt was a weak grounder to the in field.
 Murray appeared at the plate in the ninth inning, determined to make his batting record .75O. In those days the ctnder track c1rcled the diamond and there was a straightaway of many yards out in left field. As the game was lost for Indiana anyway, the score being something like 10 to 3 at the time, the Hoosier left fielder ran over to the cinder path and turned his back on the game. He crouched down in the way sprtnters do when waiting for the gun, and glanced back over his shoulder at the batter.
 Under ordinary conditions when such g thing was staged the hitter would probably have popped to the tnfield. Instead of that, Murray lift ed 8 terrific line drive that cleared the left felder's head as he sprinted for the fence. Before the ball could be returned to the diamond 'tRed' had crossed the plate. It was som methfng that probably never happened before or since, Notre Dame has given many great ball players to the major leagues l but Murray is perhaps the best with the possible exception of Pitcher Ed Reu1bach of the Cubs and Catcher Powers of the Athletics, who has since i died.
 The South Bend institution had q little shortstop named Bobby Lynof | about 10 years ago, who graduated tC l the majors, but was too small for tho 1 job. Others who have broken up arc Fred Williams, substitute left fielder | of the Cubs, who is completing his | course at present, and Dubuc, stal l twirler of the Detroit Tigers. Ther' | always has been a question down il
 Notre Dame whether McGraw didn' | make a mistake in developing Murray l into a fielder. He was a wonderful catcher youth, having a, qut2k
 accurate throw to the bases. Red was a good ta1ker. too, and bo1stereC his pitchers up with great success. In fact St. Louis signed him as {
 back stop. But when he later went tt
 the Giants he blossoIned out as a field
 CT. Here his great speed has told, fo
 he covers as much ground as an,
 gardener in the country. His throw
 developing as catcher, is also
 spIenoId factor in nipping would-b b
 scorers. But 1t is question whethe
 he Is as valuable to McGraw as fAelder as he would be as a catcher, fl
 the minds of many apprehension
 1arly so of Notre Dame men.

FEW AMERICANS
 SPEAK SPANISH.

Several weIl-paid teaching po- sitions in Latin-America open to Americans will probably be fill ed by men from other countries
 because of lack of trained men in the United States with
 a speaking knowledge of Span ish, according 20 MT. l.. A. KaI-
 bach, Chief Citrs of the Bureau of Education. On several occa- sions lately, NIT. Kalbach points out, the Bureau of Education, at the request of the State Depart ment, has secured the country in search of educators for re- sponsibIe positions in Latin American countries, only to find generally that those who might
 qualify in other particulars can not speak the language.
 The American Minister tD Panama recently asked the Unit ed States Government to recoIn-T mend candidates for positions as professor of industrial arts, pro- lessor of agriculture, and pro- lessor of veterinary medicine in Panama. Salaries up to $2, 400 and other inducements were of fered. The Bureau of Education
 communicated with various in stitutions and organizations that
 usually have lists of available
 candidates, but in this case the response was meager, because of the language requirement..
 "None of our industrial arts ex-
 perts speak Spanish,' wrote an officer of one of the best-knoVn teacher training institutions.
 Others declared that while they
 knew of men who would meet
 the requirements, so far as pro-
 fessional attainments and teach
 ing experience were concerned,
 they knew of none who had the
 added requirements of Spanish.
 Spanish is, of course, taught in many American institutions
 of learning, but, the bureau of-
 icfads point out. comparatively
 few students avail themselves of
 the opportunity to learn it.
 Sometimes students feel that a
 high school or college course fin
 Spanish will not furnish the nec-
 essaFy conversational knoVvl- :. edge. This difficulty has long been recognized in all modern language instruction, and in Spanish, particularly,g practical control of the language is now
 insisted upon.
 Furthermore, opportunities
 for practice in speaking Span
 ish are constantly increasing.
 Better transportation facilities
 are making the United States
 and Latin-American nations
 more and more accessible to each other. For those who wish to go to Europe, there is the Spanish Governments Holiday Course for Foreigners, the sec- ond session of which begins at the University of Madrid on June 25. Prof. Marion of the
 U. s. Naval Academy, who att tended the. school last year, speaks enthusiastically of the opportunities offered in this course to obtain f1rst-hand knowledge of the language, Ift- erature, customs, etc., of Spain. It is considered probable that one reason why Americans have been slow to learn a foreign Ian { guage for use abroad is to be found in the fact that there has been little necessity for seeking positions in other countries. In the teaching profession, partic- ular1y, the present supply of well trained workers is by nc means adequate for the demand.
