Society Women Sound
Knell for Mourning
Boston Leaders Declare That Custom

Relic Of Barbarlsm.

BOSTON, June 2s.-Society wom-
en- of Boston have answered the ques-
ton, How long should society wom-
en- wear mourning for their dead rel
atives?" by saying in substance that
mourning should not be worn. 1t was
the consensus of opinion that it is a
survival of barbarian days.
Mrs. Charles P. Putnam, wife Of
DR.. Putnam, said, 1T seems to me
that there is altogether too much
mourning worn considering our pres
ent enlightened state Of civilization.
The world is dark enough as it is
without women wearing crepe to
make it any more gloomy.

What is the most thrilling winter
sport"
Ask the question anywhere in the
east or the south and you win hear
a million voices shout, "Coasting, to-
bogganing, Skating, ice skating, rae
ing horses on ice, skate sailing!" But
in Minnesota. in Northern Wisconsin,
in the Rocky Mountains, in Norway,
Sweden, Denmark and Belgium mil
lions more will exclaim Skiing"
Skiing is generally regarded as an
infant sport in America, but that is
not the case in all parts of the coun-
try. Stoughton, Wisconsin, had ski
tournament in 1884 at Which Eleif
Tveiten made leap of eighty four
feet. The town held another in 1889.
.Torjus Hemmestvedt, who won the
first turnament ever held in Europe,
also won the meet here. He is now
resident of Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Since that tike ski tournaments have
been held so often in America that a
record of the jumps over 125 feet long
would resemble an edition of the Con-
sressional Record. The long jumps
did not star through until 1909 when
Ole Feiring made 144 feet on the big
derson covered 1873 feet off the steel
trestle at Chippewa Falls on the same
day, but in 1911 the record went up
another notch. Sigrud Hanson of
Chippewa Falls competing against the
best professionals in America, on the
steel trestle in Stoughton, Wisconsin,
jumped 141 feet and stood. Hardly
had the newspapers stopped showing
pictures of the slider in the air than
there came from Ironwood, Mich, the
report of a 152 foot leap by Anders
Haughen and one of 154 feet by Barney
Kelley, competing as an amateur. In
the same contest James Presthus
leaped 15s feet. but fell as did Kelley
also.
Europe saw her first ski tournament
in 1879 on the Huseby hill. Torjus
Hemmestvedt of Eau Claire, Wiscon-
sin, at that time a resident of Nor
way, won the meet. The worlds record
was made on February 26. 1910, when
Sigrud Previk leaped 1853 feet on the
Fran hill at Brumundalen, Elverum
Norway.

man from Coleraine, Mimi, won the
amateur skiing championship of
America in 1909. and held the title
for three successive years by defeating
all competitors in the annual national
meet Francis Kempe won the ma

history of skiing in America placed
the professional championship in the

American. Because there are no pro-
fessional events in Europe, Kempe
could also tack onto his title the new
one, Worlds professional champion"
Lars Haugen won the title back for

JUDICIARY SQUARE PART III.
By James Croggon.

Barely had the echoes of the war OF
1872 died away when the young city OF
Washington. whose people numbered
scarcely 10000 souls. was looking forward
TO high place among the municipalities.
Al that period ii had two school
buildings and an almshouse in per-
manent structures. but the city gov

onicers and boards of aldermen and
council were In temporary quarters.
About 1915 preparations were made for
raising money by lottery TO build
town house or city hall. and one of the
reservations, that south of the Capitol
had been designated as the site for
the town house 1t was deemed mex
pedient to erect a town house or city
hall there, and after attempts had been
made to raise the money clear of ex-
penses to build such a hall in 1919 il
was determined 10 erect a build

part of Judiciary Square was desig-
mated as the most advantageous place
for the building.

Laplander and the whiskbroom to the
African servitor. Nothing cheers the
heart of the briefless one more than the
appearance of a woman thus afflicted
who wishes to sue her sister and brother
for an accounting of the family estate.
Women and Chinese are susceptible to
this disease to a notable degree. The loss
of a laundry ticket will provoke litigation
that will be carried to the highest court
in the land. Nothing can shake the faith
of the gentler sex in courts and lawsuits.
That faith frequently goes hand in hand
with the acquisition and obstinate tenure
of real estate on which nothing grows
save the microbe Of litigating paranoia.
