"Thc skaters Of today are not de

retired two and thrce.mile roller
skating champion OF the world. who,
with his sister. Lillian. is now play
ing at the Palace Hip.
Nor do / mean that this express
sion should carry any OF the sugges-
ton that things Of the past are bet.
ter than what we have today Some
folks are prone 10 look back at the
past. then gaze on the present. and
make comparisons that are based on
the mcllowing influences OF the
dreams Of years. But conditions
and cold facts arc the basis upon
which / base the statement that the
skaters OF today are not as fast as
those Of the past
There are no tracks today like
there were in the days when / held
the honors. and as a result skaters
have not the facilities for developing
speed In those days skating was
feature sport. drawing crowds away
from the theatres and other attrac-
tons. Every town. big and little.
had its rink. and some OF the floors
were the result OF months OF labor
and thousands OF dollars worth Of
expense Now. the really good floors
are the exception and not the rule.
II find that Seattle has but few
roller skate iovers-ice skating pre-
dominates here"
Miss Vernon. also holder OF a
trunkful Of medals for her work on
the wheels. suggested that improve.
fnent On skate mechanism should
make for faster time as an offset for
the loss OF the fine floors. The re.
tired champ agreed with her. but Ia
