T.S.OlsonWins
Feature Race at
.N.Y.A.C.Games

j. S. Olson, a stalwart sailor Of the
Federal Rendezvous, Of Brooklyn, took
the measure of many fast service men
In the special enlisted mems 1o0-yard
race, which proved the closest fought
in the weekly sports of the New York
Athletic Club at Travers Island yes
terday. Olson enjoyed "a start Of Az
yards, and this advantage aided him
to big degree in defeating George
Dernell, Pelham Bay, from scratch, who
was second.
Dernell lost considerable ground by
his inability to get off his mark quick
y, but once under way gradually
picked up ground on his rivals At the
70-yard mark Dernell was fourth, and
III the remaining yards passed two op-
ponents and was on the heels Of Olson
The latter, however, finished with much
reserve speed, wining by one foot
A smart race was that run by Frank
Mcnamara, the new Glencoe Club run
ner, in capturing the 440-yard run.
"Ae4' aAldIa, tlheWlSc, NaQ Cn6 Dig start
of 25 yards, and nursed along his speed
in following the pacemakers. Round
Ing into the homestretch, McNamara
let out reef and sailed past the lead
ers: to win comfortably by three yards.
William Frick, another Glencoe ath-
lete, finished third, behind Mike Rosso,
st. Anselm's Club, who was two yards
IN front for second honors.
John DAILY was up with the pacemak-
ers throughout in winning the two-mile
run. Kurt Zulch found his handicap
too stiff in the two-miIe walk, and fin
1shed behind ?. Mendler, the winer. In
the l6-pound shot handicap, John
Hellum, the former Norwegian cham
pion, won at 46 feet inches.

The Sixth Sense

Human beings have real sixth
sense, says Science, in the shape OF
II sense of equilibrium. This sense Is
coming in for much Intensive study to-
day, because it is probably the most
important qualification for the success
ful aviator. 1t has been found to re-
side in three tiny canals In the inner
ear. These three canals are located
in the bone of the skull and are filled
with liquid in which nerve filaments
from the auditory nerve terminate.
In some way not yet clearly under
stood, through these canals and nerves
the individual can tell. without being
able to see or feel. just how nearly up
right his position is. The sense is much
more keenly developed in some people
than in others.

NEW ORDER BY M'ADOO
AFFECTS COLORADO ROADS

Henry T. Rogers, the Santa Fe rail
roads solicitor for Colorado, yesterday
announced the receipt of an order Fl oni
w. G. McAdoo, director general OF
railroads, at Washington, amending a
general order issued by Mr.. McAdoc
April Is, prescribing the venue and
jurisdiction Of suits against carriers
while under federal control.
1t is noted that whereas the Original
order allowed suits to be brought IL
the county or district of the plaintiff :
residence, the amended order direct
that they must be brought in tn,
county or district where the plaintiff
resided at the time of the accrual OF
the cause of action.
Since the director generals Office has
advised that if suits are brought con
trary to this new order provision vii
not be made for payment of any judg-
mcnt recovered, it is important that
prospective litigants take notice of the
change in the situation.

DISEASE SPREAD BY ANIMALS

Against the Beasts.

Although animals are not affected
by the sickness and communicable dis

clans declare that whole host OF
ofttimes fatal ailments Of mankind are
traceable to the beasts, says Popular
Science Monthly.

glanders. rabies. lockjnw and other dis
eases Of five or more syilubles. Dogs
and cats are branded as the circula-
tors of rabies. parasitic worms OF diff

The COW Is the worst offender. The
list of diseases laid at her barn door
is headed with tuberculosis and grows
constantly more blood-curdllng. until
we wonder why physicians and scien-
lists consent to the use Of milk, butter
and cheese which stiIl lead the dleti-
tians' list of nutritives.

today no one knows exactly what u

meteorites are fragments broken from

hydrogen. The broken bits, after their
separation, are believed to arrange
themselves in swarms which cross the
