haps athletics shorten life. Like the

Base ball. basket ball. track. tennis
and all sports requiring intense EFFORT
are not suitable for any one but the
young. The middle-aged man must
select an exercise or sport such as
golf. bowling. riding, walking. fishing,

man from middle age on must eat
more lightly and less meat than dur

One of the most important depart
ments of work carried on by Y. M.
c. A. organizations in thousands Of
cities and towns all over the United
States is that of proper physical train
ing for every boy and every man who
is member. During the last few
years the international committee of
Young Mems Christian Associations
has been devoting much time and at
tention to encouraging athletic sports.
and it has developed a very large stan
of specialists, at least one of whom
is located at practically every large
center where the Y. NJ. C. A. has
home.
Regarding the warning sent out by
the public health service. one of the in
ternational Y. NJ. c. A. physical direct
ors. Charles A. Ball. says he has no
doubt that in very many cases cham
pion athletes do die at an earlier age
than is necessary.
The fact of the matter u.s." Mr.. Ball
continues. that lad who gets inter-
ested in athletic sports becomes more
and more deeply interested as he de-
velops his powers and meets with in
creasing success. whether at gymna-
SUM work or in the open air. Those,
especially in colleges and universities,
who show special ability in one branch
or another of sport are taken in hand
by coaches and physical directors and
are aided In every possible way to make
themselves doub1y proficient.
Take as concrete example a fresh
man in almost any college Of consider
able size: he goes in for basket ball.
say. and basket ball. in my opinion. is
the hardest of all sports in its require
ments of heart action and powers of
respiration. For this reason. and also
because it is played almost altogether
indoors and not in the open air, I am
not favorably inclined to it excepting
in the case of special men.
when the freshman spends all the
time he can at basket ball practice lit
tie by little he goes into training: as
time goes on he develops an enormous
appetite, rapidly puts on weight, be-
comes hard as we'll as supple, and in
his junior or senior year he is not only
playing basket ball matches with 9TH

score of directions. which their mothers
never dreamed of undertaking.
That such definite and positive state
ment should have gone out from
branch or the federal government has
caused surprise, especially among the
physical directors Of many colleges and
universities, who have spent their lives
in trying to show that athletic exer-
else is one Of the most valuable things
man can indulge in. To be sure,
there have been not few cases on
record OF men who achieved promi-
nence in various forms of athletic work
while young and then suddenly died at
early middle age, to the surprise of
everybody who had seen them in their
prime as husky prominent men on the
football field, members of college
crews. star players of base ball,
basket ball and as medal winners in
track events.
1t would naturally be supposed that
man who develops his physical powers
to such an unusual extent that he
thereby acquires fame. not to mention
the joy of winning triumphs before
great audiences. might reasonably be
supposed to be far more likely to live
to old age than his fellow-student who
logged along quietly taking exercise
only of the most moderate kind and
never indulging in hard events or I'M
dergoing the rigors of systematic train
ing.
This theory, however. that the ath-
lete lives longer than the ordinary man
is by no means proved. The matter is
one of such supreme Importance to
boys and young men all over the coun-
try. mpltitudes of whom are working
for place on high school or college
teams. that careful inquiry has been
made from the physical directors of
such well known institutions as the
University of Missouri. University of
Wisconsin. Columbia University. Yale
Cornell and Indiana, and they have
gladly responded by sending their writ
ten opinions.
The men in charge of the physical
training of students at such institu-
tions as these possess not merely the
DRY but actual knowledge as to what
happens to the young athlete while in
college and after he leaves there. 1t

Senator Blair Lee AnnounCes His

said Senator Lee at his office in the Senate

"Will you make prepared detailed
statement at the present time of your
candidacy" the Senator was asked.
mo, shall not make prepared state
ment now" he replied. "a make the an
nouncement of my candidacy in order to
relieve the suspense in the State among a
great many of my friends who are urging
me to make the race. In the first place,
it is time enough to make detailed state
ment, and, again. haven't the time now
to prepare it on account of my duties in

for any roll call in the Ship bill fight. |
wanted to relieve any doubt as to my posi-
ton, and consequently made the announce
ment did when asked this morning whether
or not would be a candidate. shall
make detailed statement later"
Earlier in the day Senator Lee said:
you can state 1t as a fact that am
candidate for the Democratic Gubernato-
rial nomination, and the Democratic voters
should know without further delay my de-
cison in the matter.
Work here in Congress will keep me
busy until March and maybe longer.
Then Baltimore city will naturally occupy
the attention of city voters and the in
terest of the whole State until the Mayor
atty is disposed of in May. That will leave
sufficient time in which to make an active
campaign.
my duties in the Senate are very con-
genial to me and if my personal wishes
were to control, would stay in the Senate.
But for weeks Democrats throughout the
State whose sincere interest in the welfare
of the State and party cannot be doubted
and for whose opinions have the highest
regard have been urging me to be a can
didate for the Gubernatorial nomination
and many reasons have been advanced
which have caused me to reach the con-
clusion that my personal preferences should
not control my action in this matter
IL shall seek the nomination with view
of cementing the Democratic forces. If
elected. shall continue that as policy of
administration, always confident, of course,
that every true Democrat will demand faith
full service to all the people of the State
as the first consideration.
Il shall 90 before all the voters Of the
whole State and will do this regardless of
whether am opposed or not, the purpose
being to make the primary campaign one
which will concern and interest the people
and promote the success of the whole
ticket at the general election by discussing
with the voters of the State questions of
policy looking to their general welfare.
shall also direct letter to the voters as
the campaign proceeds"

The Cunning Hand OF A Polite Ian

Mr.. Editor 1T ought to be understood
that at the hearing before the County School
Board on Tuesday, January 26. the chief
contention of the principal protestant, who
professed to speak for the town of Ken
sineton, possibly for Wheaton district, was
against the legality of the establishment
of any school whatever at Chevy Chase,
because perfOrce of circumstances the
school is quartered on leased property.
AS the school must necessarily be closed
if this. objection were well taken, or were
sustained by competent authority, it is
difficult to understand the sympathetic,
kindly interest in the Chevy Chase COM
munity professed by the person in a COM
munication to special committee of the
State Board of Education which he has
lately procured to be published in the
county papers.
Aside from the principal spokesman re-
ferred to, who is nursing legislative can
didacy and apparently making fight on
the Chevy Chase high school" part of
his campaign but who has not for many
years, if ever, been patron of the county
schools, there was a gentleman officially
connected with the D. C. schools. also from
Kensineton, and who, if he has children, is
independent Of the county schools also
gentleman from Silver Spring voicine OPP
position to any more high schools until
the elementary schools are brought up to
proper standard which he did not
specify; and still another Kensington rep
resentative who did not have an opportu-
nifty to declare publicly his sentiments.
which were opposed to any high schools
whatever as a part of the public school
system.
From some ladies who accompanied the
delegation the interesting and significant
fact was derived that the paper read as en-
bodying resolutions expressing the views
of the Kensington school organization. was
in fact the offspring of a citizens meeting
including residents who never had hon
ored the school association with their pres
ence." The idea seemed to be that this
gave the expression more weight.
Kensington enjoys the reputation of
being community so largely composed of
office people" that there is comparatively
little interest in the local school. The school
plant confirms this and ought to serve as
an object lesson for Chevy Chase people
and others that think they can afford to
neglect the community interests because
of the personal school PRIVILEGES they still
enjoy.
1t was a cunning hand that undertook
to array Wheaton district against Bethesda
district. If the two districts which together
furnish over 40 per cent of the county
revenue from taxes bethesda % per cent.
Wheaton II per cent? can be kept in
state of contention on the school question,
the rest of the county may think-mistak-
emily, however-th it can afford to leave
situation which would neces-
sarily cost some money to adjust to the
of all concerned.

In Memorian1.

In sad but loving remembrance of my
dear daughter, Annie Briggs Small, who
died five years ago today. February 10th
1910.
Loved in life, in death remembered.
Five years with all its changes,
Since death strangely babe us part,
Cannot take thee from my memory,
Nor thine image from my heart
Rest on, dear daughter. thy labor's o'er,
Thy willing hands will toll no more.
God called you home. il was His will,
But in my heart love you still
You have gone from us, dear daughter,
To your Savior, good and true.
You have won the Heavenly glory,
Which is for me to do.
1t is only step that divides us, dear,
From the glories no mortal has seen,
| shall meet you when deaths cold fingers
Shall lift the veil between.
And happy wen be in that harbor of rest,
Safe in Jesus in the realms of the blest,
And we'll wait in our tears, our devotion
and love.
Until we meet thee with Jesus in Heaven
above.

Importance OF Healthy Kidneys.

Rockville Readers Should Learn to Keep
the Kidneys Well.
The kidneys have big work to do. All
the blood in the body is coursine through
the kidneys constantly to be freed of poi.
sonous matter, II is a heavy enough task
when the kidneys are well, but cold, chill
fever or some thouehtless exposure is likely
to irritate, intlame and congest the kidneys
and interrupt the purifying work.
Then the aching frequently begins, and
is often accompanied by some irregularity
of the urine-too frequent passages, sed-
ment or retention. Thousands testify to the
wonderful merit of Doan Kidney Pills, a
remedy for the kidneys only that has been
used in kidney troubles fifty years. You
will make no mistake in following this adj
vice. 1t comes from resident of this
locality:
Mrs. Adams, HOS | street southeast

of us have trouble from weak kidneys or
suffer from backache, we use Doans Kid
ney Pills and they put stop to the trou-
