To Settle Vital Questions.

1t will be a representative, authorita-
tive international body selected to settle
vital questions. as those who participate
as athletes in the Olympiads desire them
to be settled. Its work done. it will ad-

versity, the we'll known historian. In an
address before the congress on sport from
the point OF view of outsider gave an
interesting analysis of the real signif-
icance of sport under modern conditions
of living.
He said that the tendency for each set
of men. whether men of science. artists.
architects or commercial men, was to
overrate the Importance Of their own line
of work in relation to other work.

Paris Congress Next Year.

'Of almost equal Importance was the
completion of our arrangements for the
congress to be held in Paris next year,
for the preparation of type Olympiad.
That congress will be attended by repre-
sentatives from all the national Olympic
committees. and in conmemoraton of
twenty years work will definitely settle
questions of events, judges, qualifications,
entries. etc
The I. o. c. is in no sense representa-
tive body. 1t is self-perpetuating and is
the historical carrier of the Olympic idea.
Its business is that of clearing the way
for the successive Olympiads and secur-

all its predecessors in that respect

CACHE FOOD FOR CAsTAWAYs
Depots Of Supplies Established by
Various Governments on Most OF
the Dangerous Islands.

Caches or depots Of food and cloth
ing have recently been established
by the various governments on most
OF the dangerous islands under their
dominion. And on many OF others
there are signposts and instructions
as to how to ge. to the nearest island
where there is such depot. They
are in huts, built expressly for the
purpose, or in natural caves in the
cliffs, where all the provisions will
remain dry and keep for a long time.
AS an example, down In the Indian
ocean are the islands of Amsterdam,
St. Paul and Kerguelen, all dangerous
spots for vessels in storm. On each
OF these the French warship Eure has
established depots containing neces-
saries OF all kinds for castaways. no
matter what their nationality may be.
At Amsterdam island, in a large
cavern on hillside, there are supplies
OF beef biscuits, underclothes.
blankets, and some matches inclosed
in a Theoretically sealed metal box.
There are also In the same cave sew.

Hamlin never forgot those two days
and nights OF waiting, while the storm
roared without and the clouds of
drifting snow made any dream Of ad-

incidentally awakening love for the
girl so overwhelming as almost to
brighten him. He had fought this feel

that such ambition was hopeless. He
would not attempt 20 lower her to his
level. nor give her the unhappiness of
knowing that he dared misconstrue
her frank friendliness into aught more
tender. But these misfortunes had
changed the entire outlook. Now he
flung all pretense aside, eager to place
his life on the altar to save her.

They plowed through the snow to-

thick swirl of flakes that beat
against their faces. The three horses,
powdered white, stood tails to the
storm, with head to the bluff, while
the drifts completely covered Carroll.
He was sleeping, warm in the blan-
kets, and the two men picked him up
and stumbled along with their burden
to the shelter of the cabin. Then
Hughes faced the blizzard again, lead
ing the horses to the corral, while
Hamlin ministered to the semi.con-
