ported weight. But the country and
the city never entirely understand
each other. and that often causes
friction between them. The country,
being IN the majority, often imposes
on the. city rules that could not be
enforced without great inconvenience;
the city generally disregards them,

Directing to unfair regulations of the
use of sugar. This paper believes
that children should have all the
sugar they need, even if this would
require a ban upon the manufacture

CARTER IS SATISFIED

Young in spirit is Eddie Carter and

only smiled one day last week when
confronted with the fact that his Last
record had been wiped OF the athletic
slate, and remarked: THAT fellow
Pores Is a great little runner"
The time was. thirty-odd years ago,
when Eddie Carter held every Ameri-
can record from two to ten miles,
and he ranks today as one Of the
greatest distance runners in the his
tory Of track and field sports. He has
lived to see all his records wiped out
one by one, not by much. 1t is true,
but still wiped out, and now Charley
Pores has taken the last OF his marks
by winning the fve-mile run at the
national championships q few days
ago in "a minutes Sc rs seconds This
Is a championship record and not an
American record. as Kolehmainen ran
five miles in "a minutes 20 is seconds
in 1913. Exile Carter Is philosophical,
too.

only fair for Pores to have his. I'm
