WILL NOT Be so EASY.
The American Athletes Will Have
Stronger Competition.

New York, July 3.-The prediction is
made that European athletes will give
the United States team a much harder
and closer battle for Olympic honors at
Berlin in 1916 than heretofore, by J. w.
Spalding, vice president of the ATneri-
can Olympic committee. AS a result of
his observations, while abroad he as
serts that American-track and field
performers will have to compete up to
the high standard set in previous
meets, if they are to win the point
trophies at the next Olympic games.
Athletes are on an organized basis in
the leading countries of Europe and
American methods and trainers are
rapidly bringing the standards up to a
point where they compare favorably
with those of the United States. The
opening of the Berlin stadium on June
marked the formal preparations for
the games of 1916 and France, Ger
many, England Sweden, Italy and
other countries are already planning to
wrest athletic supremacy from the
Americans at Berlin if possible. 1t is
the general opinion abroad according
to Spalding that even though the
United States wins at Berlin it will be
a greatly reduced score, and that 1920
will find the Olympic games an abso-
lutely open contest with at least three
or four countries closely grouped at
the finish.

May Show Saving of $4,000 a Yea

If records established during the
first three months that the new oil in
spectfon law was in operation can be
maintained throughout the year, the
states revenue from the oil inspection
department will show a saving to the
state of $4,000 a year. In April, May
and June of this year, Frank Comis-
key, state oil inspector, turned into the
treasury s1O,594. SO more than was re-
ceived from the same department dur
ing the same three months of 1912.
For the three months of April, May
and June. 1912, the state collected a
total of s16,124.19 from inspection of
oil and gasoline. To collect these fees.
the state paid a total of s7.SSS.34 in
expenses. For the same three months
this year, the oil inspection depart
ment received fees aggregating Sal
$50. The expense of the office for the
three months this year was S3,059.42.
leaving a total revenue for the state of
$1S71O.5S, as against $S,135.S5 in
1912 or gain over last year of s10,-
5s4.73.
The gain in fees is largely due to
the change made by the 1913 legisla-
ture in the old oil inspection laws.
Under the new law the 135 deputy oil
inspectors have been legislated out of
Jobs and the work is now handled by
six men, greatly reducing the expense
to the state and increasing the revenue
of the department.

London. July "a set back to
women's ambitions to qualify as law
yers in England has been given in the
case of Miss Gwyneth Webb, who has
lost her action against the law society.
Justice Joyce, who decided against
her. declared he did not doubt that
before the legislation of 1S43 women
were disqualified by their sex from be-
coming or practicing as solicitors or
attorneys in England. He said there
was no indication in subsequent legis-
lation of any intention to alter the law
on this point and he was certain that
it was not the intention of the legisia-
ture TO do so.
