EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT MONEY AND
 DISEASE

Henry Cabot Lodge tells in his volume of rem iniscences that have changed a good deal since he was young. He taught, and vigorously taught that he must never refer to physical ailments in general company. and that it was the height or vugarity speak of money or the cost Of anything But all that has changed. Money talk is as common around the social board as it is in con- gress and for physical ailments. there is simply line drawn anywhere.
 We'll what else shall we talk about? Conversa- ton necessarily confined the topics that interest us the things that understand. and in this particular year of grace of progressivism and of reform, interested in nothing and we under stand nothing but money and disease.
 Charles Eliot Norton tells that toward the end of his life it became impossible to collect half a dozen or so persons who could pass few hours in intelligent conversation, and this was in Boston It would be much impossible now, if there be such thing degrees of impossibility.
 Disease as a topic of conversation is due first Of all to increase in individual selfishness which in it's turn leads to coarsening of mental fiber The conventional question of How do you do?" is no longer accepted greeting of courtesy. It is regarded as serious pathological inquiry, and the woman to whom it is addressed considers it neces- sary enter into minute and delicate revelations that would bring qualms to the stomach of a diie and blush to the cheeks of satyr.-Argonaut

Athletic Awakening of Ce- lestials Shown in Prelim- inaries to October Track
 Meet When "Far East" Will Hold Little Olympic

SHANGHAI. Aug. 1.-Evidences of a great awakening of interest in ath- letics throughout China has been reaching Shanghai. which is to be the place of holding the far eastern Olym- pie games next october.
 Enthusiasm is at such a pitch in some quarters that it is said to be only a matter of years-perhaps only few Olympiads-when Peking shall be the scene of a worlds Olympic It was a striking instance of the new order of things when, from May IS to P, last the historic Temple of Heaven grounds, for centuries past dedicated to the eX lusive use of the emperor, were thrown open for national athletic meet at Peking.
 This was preliminary to the organi- zation of a strong team for the far eastern meet in Shanghai next fall To facilitate the organization, the empire was divided into four sections, north, east, south and west, with each section represented by an athletic association The competitions were for the most part from mission colleges. government schools, and the Young Mems Christian association.
 The honors showered upon the stu dents who led the field in the mile runs or did the 100-yards dash in ten sec onds, recall the fact that it was only few years ago that the scholastic ideal in China was altogether that of the long -gowned youth with hands in

Wakelin Grocery company and the Lightning Delivery Company. Bailey drove Scott's car to Prescott yesterday. and the two expect to be in Los Angeles by Tuesday
 Naquin, who is sojourning in Silver City. New Mexico. reported some cre- ditable sales during his short eastern trip. He disposed of six carloads of cars, as follows:
 Five 3-ton trucks for use on Mo- gollon road.
 One l1-2-ton truck at Tyrone, N. NJ.

 This sort of writing is of construc- tive benefit to touring. The Texan comments on the dreaded Mammoth Wash
 One part of California has a re- putation as far east as Fl Paso. I
 had hardly left Fl Paso when I be-
 gan hearing about the Mammoth
 Wash. This was to be positively the
 worst seven miles of road in the whole world The nearer we got to California the stronger the talk and even when we arrived in Yuma we
 were told that we could not expect to drive through.
 One man listened to the talk so much he finally shipped from Yuma to Imperial Junction, but I had come all the way from Texas without hay ing any help and I knew if any car had ever crossed this dreaded wash mine would make it. I went into it with more or less fear, after de ating the tires to B pounds. On the low the car made good progress and I finally slipped it into the in termediate and as I kept on going I finally went into the high and finished that much talked of sand hole on my high gear. Why, the car never hesitated. If I don't have any
 thing harder than the Mammoth Wash I will be pleased"
 That is another boost While the Wash is a place of precipitation and
 swear words, it is but a short few miles. and as nothing compared with the five hundred and some odd miles
 between Phoenix and Los Angeles.
 Because there are a few stretches of
 bad road, no motorist should elevate his hands and give up the fight. In
 compliment to the class, it must be
 said few of them do.
