statement that he favors a coach
brought from America. That can
but mean that We shall see now a
coach of American birth, but OF
French descent, putting his John
Hancock to a contract with the
French commission before long.
As for England, we see in
English papers and news dis
patches every week that some
body has made speech somewhere
over there and has said that some
thing ought to be done and that
somebody ought to go to America
and get somebody to come over and
start something. About the only
definite thing in connection with
these outbursts is the naming Of
America as the place to go to get
help and a guide to lead them out
of the wilderness. But 1t shows
plainly enough that England has
not forgotten those humiliating de-
feats Of six months ago, and that
they also think Carthage should
be destroyed" Ere long. venture
to say, we shall read of something
definite done about it, and the one
sure thing wiz be that an Ameri-
can, probably derived from English
stock. will be the man to attempt
the big job for Johnny Bull.
60 we see that this quartet of
~ countries are not asleep at the
switch" whether others are or not.
They are all intensely serious about
this Olympic championship, and
they are going to give America a
real run for it. 1t Is true they see
no better way to go about the task
than to get us to show them how
II should be done; but that's all
right-anything to make a real
contest Of 1t.
And how those coaches will work!
For, you see, 1t will be largely a
contest between them. Being lineal-
ly connected with the countries
they are working with. they will
be able to take something more
than mere professional pride in
their work; their interest will par
take of national loyalty, as it will
have the right to do. Previous
Olympics won't be marker" to
that of Berlin in 1915.

Brooklyn grabbed him. Just why,
nobody is prepared to say. The
scout who landed him must have
been gifted for the moment with
clairvoyance. lack was batting
but .245, fielding tolerably well and
not stealing any bases.
The amazing thing has been that
lack has improved every year in
the National over what he did in
the Southern. For instance, in 1909
he batted .245 with Mobile. The
next year he batted .2S4 for Brook

Boat RurnS in Mid Ocean.

Last Saturday, during a heavy
storm, the liner Valturno on her voy-
age from Rotterdam to New York
was destroyed by fire and 1876 persisted.
Ten other liners, called by wireless,
saved 521 lives. There were no native
born Americans on board, but practi-
cally all were migrants on their way
to Canada. The aiding ships could do
nothing during the storm but when
the elements subsidized passengers
were transferred.
The ship was inspected in this
country last December and was found
it carried life saving equipment for
900. The carrying capacity of the
steamer was listed at l ,5O4 persons, in
Guiding the crew. The regulations
required that 1,5OO life preservers and
life belts be carried, but at the time
of inspection last December the U.
S. officers found that only 1,282 were
carried and the steamship officials
were forced TO supply the deficiency
in this respect before the Volturno
was allowed to sail.

Upstairs Backward.

Walking upstairs backward is urged
by a London physician as a useful
practice in cases of heart weakness
and as helping in more equal dis
tribution of muscular wear and tear.
Firstly and most important" he
says, walking upstairs backward
would prevent any tendency to hurry.
No matter how inveterate a stair
rush man might be, he would have
to moderate his pace if going back
ward. This enforced elaboration
would, of course, be of great value in
heart disease. The second effect would
be to relieve the strain from the ordi-
nary walking and climbing mucles
Chose on the front of the thigh and
to press into service those on the
back of the leg. which ordinarily do
no work in climbing stairs. The total
result. therefore. might be a saving
in muscular wear and tear through a
more economical distribution of eff
fort. This, Of course. would also be
Of value in cases OF heart weakness"

Y. NJ. C. A. CLASSES BEGIN
Classes Have Been Started-Campaien
Closed So Boys Department
Will Begin Years Work.

With the close of the big Y. NJ. C.
A. membership campaign which lasted
over week, comes the beginning of
the big year work for the Y. S25
members were secured, everyone by
hard work, and it is expected that
/ the classes this year will be ex
ceptionally large and regular at
tendance is desired. During previous
years there has always been a good
attendance at classes but it has been
rather irregular All members ought
to begin now and attend their classes
regularly from the beginning of the
season to the end. Mr.. Starke has
planned his gym classes a little differ
emily than C. E. Middleton though
they will be just as interesting.
Everyone ought to take care of their
physical welfare just as carefully as
we do of our intellectual welfare.
Il. w. Brandenburg will soon begin
active work in the boys department
for the coming year. Soon, within a
week or 50, it is hoped to begin the
weekly suppers and discussion groups
which were continued last year all
through the season and which were
very beneficial to the boys of high
school age.
The new clubs were formally opened
yesterday and the high school boys
are now in their new home. The
rooms are attractively decoaraed with
pictures, pennants, etc, and are
painted green. Curtains adorn the
windows and the rooms are most
homelike in 81 respects. There are
magazines, books and many school
| catalogues on the tables for reading
and much pleasure is being afforded
the pool enthusiasts by the new $3.50
combination table which is made of
mahogany and is the best table in
the city. | guess the boys are not
going to enjoy themselves this winter?
All of the older members of the asso-
citation are invited to visit and inspect
these two beautiful rooms and then
to wish that they were back in their
younger days.
There is much work for the head of
the boys department this coming
year. E. w. Brandenburg has moved
his office belongings to the second
floor where his entire time will be
devoted to the boys. There are study
and hiking clubs and many other
features to be worked in this year
and all will be started within short
time.

NATIONS OF WIDE DIVERGENCE
Albanians and Turks Have Not, and
Seemingly Never Can Have,
Anything In Common.

Perhaps one OF the reasons that
the Albanians have never really sub
mitted to the Turks lies In a funda.
mental incompatahility between the
Albanian and Turkish character"
says returned traveller from the
Balkan. The Turks are melancholy,
even tragic. The Albanians declare
for happiness. The story is told of
some Albanian soldiers who saw a
love story was acted. but without
bringing the lovers together at the
finish. The Albznians wouldn't have
it for minute. They flourished their
reYolvers and yelled: Make them
happy! Make them happy And
peace could reign again. The Al
banians live IN O high, mountainous
country, with deep valleys in be-
tween ranges. Even in times Of peace
they are in constant warfare with the
Turks. There VIII be a frontier incl
dent and then over the boTder into
Montenegro fee the Albanians. The
Montenegrins help them in their ef
forts at reprisal against the common
foe, the Turk. Albanians are great
on blood feuds. The italian vendetta
is mild diversion beside the Al
banian blood fsud The English wom-
an, Mary Edith Durham, traveller and
war correspondent, is friend of the
Albanians. She often lives among
them and is their trusted friend.

Modern Eo6ntaln Of Wine.

A fountain of wine is one of those
historical extravagances which are
generally associated with the name OF
Nero; yet as recently as Sunday, July
10, the public fountain of Wangen, in
the Alsace wine country, flowed with
wine. In the middle ages the com.
muue of Wangen was sentenced to
make an annual payment to the
monastery of Strasburg of four hun.
dred measures of wine. In 1893 the
payment was abolished by the direc
tory. Under Louis XVIII. two mer
chants secured the transfer of the
payment to them, by means of forged
documents, for $3.50. but the com.
mune commenced proceedings against
them, in which 1t was victorious on
July Is, 1880. Since that date a com
munal festival has been held on that
day, and from the public fountain
erected to commemorate the victory
wine flowed for one hour in the day
