New York, July 21.-In a gallant race George R. Meellan of Boston won the 22-mile Marathon swim from the Battery to Sandy Hook in the rec ord time of hours and Is minutes. Meehan outdistanced thirty competi- tors from various cities in swim that was hard fought all the way, and he upset the long standing con- tention of many professionals that the distance could never be covered on one tide. Sam Richards of Bos- ton was second, just beating out a fellow townsman, Walter Dunn, by five yards. The race for second place between the two men was one of the prettiest parts of the contest, Dunn almost overtaking the older and more experienced swimmer in the last thirty yards of the course

cities of the major circuits indicate that the sentiments of the big league players are not universally in sym pathy with a strike. It is said the worlds champion Athletics almost to a man oppose Fultz's attitude and that Mack's men will absolutely re- fuse to countenance the move. On the other hand the White Sox are al- most universally in favor of Fultz. Sweeney of the Cubs and Lobert of the Phillies are reported to have said that these two National league clubs would follow the mandates of Fultz. Fred Merkle of the Giants is quoted along a similar vein. Daubert and Reulbach of the Dodgers say Brook lyn will stick to a man for the policy of the fraternity.
 On the other hand Pittsburg and Boston of the National League are said to favor the interests of their ern- ployers. So does Washington of the American league, while the Red Sox have assumed non-committal att titude.

 President Graham claims that there was no reason for the men to take the action that they did and that all of the old debts of the York team were paid. He stated that members of the team should have received their money in the first mail at that city.

 Motoring Department. The Herald: Kindly answer the following ques- lions:
 Is it necessary to drain all the oil out of the crank case before putting in fresh oil?
 How much oil ia7to be put in @ 60-horse power motor at one time?
 Do the spark and gas levers always move the same way. That is, either forward or backward?
 If one is not familiar with car which would be the safest way to tell how the spark advances?
 As rule is the spark always re- tarded ascending a hill, or only when the motor knocks?
 Thanking you in advance,I am E. Y.
 When draining the crank case it is advisable to let all the old oil drain out. When this is done it is best to flush the case with kerosene, in order to remove any sediment or foreign matter.
 The quantity of fresh oil necessary to be installed is usually determined by an oil gauge. The design of the 1ubricating system of the motor de- stermines the quantity
 The spark and the gas levers do not always move in the same direc- ton. Sometimes the spark lever ad : vances downward and the throttle lever opens upward. It is an easy matter to determine the opening of the throttle by observation.
 Tn order to determine how the spark advances it is best to turn the engine by hand in order to determine the direction of rotation of the timer shaft. When this is noted you may conclude that retarding is moving the circuit breaker in the same direction in which the shaft rotates.
 The spark is not always retarded when climbing hills. It depends en- tirely upon how the motor acts. If the motor is forced to pull hard and its speed is reduced, then it is neces- skry to retard the spark to meet conditions One must use Judg-
 in such cases. When the motor

lat EVERY WOMAN WANTS TO KNOW-TFINC
THINGS THAT INTEREST MAID AND MAT
The Heart Courageous

There are two ways Of facing trouble
inevitable trouble. One can either accept
the fact and look around for ameliorating
circumstances, then gird on ones armor,
and face the foe, and make as brave n
fight as possible, so to speak. Or one
can cry and moan, spend what opportun-
ity Of happiness remains in futile COM
plainings and vain regrets. and voice the
resentment Of an atom who has come In
contact with the world force and does
not like It.
Which is the more dlgniied attitude
which the worthiest OF a human being
who has been endowed with reasoning
powers for lfe's guidance?
Some people regard this matter Of trou-
BILE as others regard that OF the weather.
Sunshine suits one person best, we will
say. Therefore, in that ones sight there
Is no reason why the land should not
always be flooded with sunlight why
health-glvlng rain should not be banished
from the land, n wishes were at all likely
to affect the arrangement of such matters.
There is no life which has not its al
ternate sunshine and rain, and the es-
sence OF q useful philosophy lies in recog
nizing this fact, and refrRining from USE
less complaints and regrets when the sun
has temporarily sunk behind the storm
clouds
There is an attitude Of mind which looks
for recognition in the absence of material
trouble.
Having lived a good life, having done
my duty to the best OF my ability" such
a one will say, rs It right, is Il fair, that
l should now be visited with darkness and
misery7"
Another and a finer type OF mind win
see trouble in the cleansing FIRE from out
of which character will arise purified and
strong.
Everything depends on the attitude Of
the one who is facing calamity, or what
seems like calamity at the time.
After the expenditure of much effort
and pain on a plan especially when the
plan seems, 80 far as human knowledge
goes, to be of undoubted benefit to ones
fellows. II is doubtless hard to have the
ground cut from under ones feet to
realize suddenly and clearly the pitiful
smallness OF ones idea and conceptions
OF usefulness in contrast with a decree
of a higher wisdom.
But the one who takes upon herself to
argue and to defy is pitting herself
against an imnreasurable force.
Life, to possess its full value, must Of
necessity consist largely of plans and
ambitions.
But there comes a time when the d.
rection is taken out of ones hands, and
when the bowed head or acauiescence is
the wise attitude. This does not mean
