An Apology to All Nations.

C;ustayns T. Kirby. president of the
Amateur Athletic Union; Barto" ,.
Weeks. chairman Of the legislative
committee. and James r.. Sullivan,
chairman OF the national registration
committee. held conference yester-
day afternoon. and after studying the
case from all angles decided TO issue
public apology TO the Swedish Olym-
pic committee, and through the Inter-
national Olympic committee 10 the
nations Of the world for having per-
mitted Thorpe to compete at the
Olympic games.
Assurances also were given that every
effort would be made to bring about
a return Of the prizes won by the
Indian and readjustment Of the
points earned by him.
The statement signed by Messrs.
Kirby. Sullivan and Weeks follows:
The team selection committee of the
American Olympic committee selected
James Thorpe as one of the members of
the American Olympic team. and did so
without the least suspicion as 10 there
having ever been any act OF professional
ism on Thorpe's part.
For the last several years Thorpe has
been a member OF the Carlisle Indian
school. which is conducted by the gov
eminent of the United States, at Carlisle.
Penn, through the Indian Department OF
the Department Of the Interior. Glenn
Warner formerly Of Cornell, a man whose
rcputatio is of the highest and whose
accuracy OF statement has never been
doubted. has been In charge Of the ath-
!etic activities of the institution. During
the period of Mr. Thorpe's membership at
Carlisle ne competed on It's football. base
ball and track and field teams and repre-
scented IL in intercollegiate and other con-
tests. all of which were open only 10
amateurs, as neither Carlisle nor any OF
the institutions with which II completes has
other than amateur teams. Thorpe
standing as an amateur had never been
questioned, nor was any protest ever
made against him or any statement ever
made as 10 his even having practised with
profe ssionals. let alone having played
with or as one Of them.
The widest possible publicity was given
Of the team selected by the American
Olympic committee, and II seems strange
that ren having acknowledge of Mr..
Thorpe's professional conduct did not at
such time. for the honor OF their coun-
Try. come forward and place in the hands
ton as they had. No such information
was given, nor was a suggestion even
made as 10 Thorpe being other than the
smateur which he vas supposed 10 be.
This country Is OF such tremendous terri
torial expanse and the athletes taking
part therein are so numerous that il Is
sometimes extremely difficult TO ascertain
the history OF an athletes past. In the
selection OF the american team the COM
mittee endeavored TO use every possible
preca gtion. and where there was the
slightest doubt as 10 mans amateur
standing. his entry was not considered.
Thorpe's act of professionalism was in
n sport over which the Amateur Athletic
tipion has no direct control; IL Was AZ q
member Of baseball team In minor
league and In games which were not re-
ported In the importapt papers OF the

GRAIN FEEDER FOR POULTRY
Newly Invented Device Depends on
Same Principle az Ia Used In
Batting Animal Trap.

A newly invented type of automatic
poultry feeder depends upon the same
principle that Is used in batting a trap.
for the feeder has a bait that is pecked
by the hungry fowls and, in response,
the machine let's a shower of grain
fall on the ground, which they devour,
says the Popular Mechanics.
The machine consists of a galvan-
ized-iron supply fount filled with grain
and revolving toothed wheel at the
base OF It, This wheel is mounted on
very delicate bearings which admit of
It's movement at the slightest touch.
Attached to the wheel is a shaft which
supports the bait. The bait consists
OF a hollow tube Of wire netting con.
tanning wheat. The fowls see the
wheat through the netting and peck at
it, causing the toothed wheel to re.
volve and throw out grain from the ton
supply fount which falls on the low
er metal cone and is scattered over
the ground almost as efficiently as by
hand This prevents the fowls from
gorging themselves.
After the feeder has been in use for
time there is no great rush by the
fowls to peck the bait as one would

For many years the idea OF infec-
ton In disease has gradually merged
into contagion. The International
Congress OF Hygiene. which held its
sessions in Washington. would seem
to have definitely settled that dis
ease conveyance is always by con
tagion and not infection. 1t is contact
either direct or indirect. with a patient
suffering from particular disease
that causes the occurrence OF that
disease In a second patient. Much

ease The night air had bad repu-

the mosquito which directly carries
various diseases and acts as an inter
mediate host between one human vic
tim and another. In the same way
ether carriers of disease have been
found. Flies. feas, ticks. rats and
various forms OF parasites are respon-
sible for disease distribution. Even
among human beings certain individu-
ais prove to be carriers" OF infectious
material. They may be unacceptable
themselves or have acquired immu-
nifty from the disease, yet can convey
1t to others. Always when com
municable disease occurs 1t can be
traced to a preceding case with which
there has been contact either directly
