WOMEN IN ATHLETICS.

Miss Fanny Durack. Australia's champion woman swimmer, is to visit the United States in the near future. Bowling tournaments exclusively for women are being staged this winter by managers of Boston bowl ing alleys.
 As fall pastime, field hockey promises to become as popular among
 Eastern college and high school girls as is football among their big brothers.
 Miss Lucille Meusel, 14-year- old trap p~shooter of Green Bay, Wis.,, holds an average of making 90 out of every 100 targets in tournament shooting. Mrs. J. D. Dalton, of Warsaw, Ind, has the distinction of having won the first trap-shooting match for women ever staged at Grand American
 Handicap tournament.
 Like father, like daughter. The two daughters of Gap" Anson, the old Chicago ball player, a.e eXper;s at the "gentlemen's game" Whi:e oct ter known for his work on the .lia mond, Anson is billiard player of more than average ability.

 of the worlds greatest archerS among the fair sex. The tr'., IS composed ar
 Miss c. M. Wesson tho national wom- ans champion; Miss Crockett, and Miss F. I. Wesson.
 Wellesley college girls have long
 been famous for their indulgence in
 winter sports. Hockey, skating.
 skiing and tobogganing are included
 among their favorite pastimes at this season of the year.
 There is a possibility that wo
 man may become worlds billiard
 champion at some future date, if Will lie Hopes four-yearold daughter continues to improve in her work of
 knocking the ivory spheres around the table. Already the little miss is
 able to hold her own in game with
 the average player.
 Facing the traps for a period of
 over five hours, and with the handi- cap of a badly blistered hand caused by hot gun barrel, Mrs. Ad Topper wein succeeded in breaking all records for continuous trap-shooting, scoring 1852 targets out of a possible 2O00 Miss Sara Livingston of Seattle, Wash who ranks fifth in this years list of the United States National
 Lawn Tennis association, among the
 women players, never wielded a

 she first took up the game for the

 have expressed the opinion that Miss
 Alexia Stirling of Atlanta, the youth.
 full holder of the women's national
 championship, is the first American
 woman who would be capable of hold ing her own in competition with the
 foremost women players of England.

NURSE CRAZED BY ATROCITIES.
American Girl, Red Cro.. Worker,
Mistreated by Hun Invaders.

Vinton,. October PA story of
atrocities surprising in horror anything
that has yet come from the Germans is
told by Thuel Burnham in alletter from
Long Island to his parents, Judge and
Mrs. G. w. Burnham, here.
1t is of an American Red Cross nurse
captured by the Germans and imprison-
ed, chained to a wall. After three
months she was sent home to Balti-
more raving maniac
BURNHAM's LETTER.
Burnham's letter says:
IA friend of pupil of mine has just
come back from Baltimore where a
dear friend of hers who had been a
Red Cross nurse at the western front
has been sent back having maniac to
die. When the Germans began getting
nearer she was advised to leave and 60
back to safer ground. She refused as
she said that she had been nursing and
had then hundreds of German patients
as we'll as those of the allies and that
even if the Germans did get through
they wouldn't harm her as she was
Red Cross nurse and nursing their own
men.
THE GERMANS CAME.
"Well, the Germans did come. She
was lost sight of in the confusion.
Three months after they found her in a
dark dungeon chained to the wall,
covered with vermin, raving maniac.
She had been common property for the
German soldiers for weeks. She had
torn all Ter hair out of her head before
they chopped her hands off.
This friend Of my pupil says she
was in the same house in Baltimore
and heard her shrieking. A horrible
baby was born to her who is also mad
and will die. And the mother cries all
the time, "I'l kill it, I'll kill it ~
WHY WE ARE FIGHTING.
This is one of our own American
girls from one of the best families Of
wealth and refinement. This is true
and not exaggerated, and was told
that this is only one case of many.
When we know things like this our
own troubles seem slight in COM
parison.

Draining Americas Horse Supplies.

Draining Americas Horse Supplies.
Statistics on file at Washington
show that Americas export of horses
for the first seven months of this year
reached the amazing total value of
$25, 1927 1888. AS almost the whole of
the exports were for Europe the total
represents the accommodation Of over
ITO horse transport vessels engaged in
the transatlantic trade. Since the
war started 100000 horses and mules
have been sent to Europe. Americas
total horse population is about 22,000,-
900 head, of which less than one-fifth
could be used for war purposes, and
experts engaged in the purchase of
horses, including such men as Capt.
Raj Parr, declare that while a fair
class Of horses is obtainable there is
a decided shortage of the best type Of
cavalry remount
Commenting upon these facts the
American Red Star, Animal Relief So
ciety calls attention to the absolute
necessity for conserving army-type
horses and of having the army active
field forces supplied with every equip
ment for the treatment of horses
wounded in France The horses must
be saved to save the soldiers.
