Editorial

A man was being
shown through our store,
and after seeing the
many, many conven-
fences we have arranged
for our employees, said:
"Do you know / believe
working conditions in de-
partment stores are
more nearly ideal than
they are in any other
mercantile institution
We aren't in a position
to pass judgment, but
we can't think of any
other line of business
that goes to the ex-
pense of making its
workers comfortable that
department stores do.
Perhaps that accounts
for the fact that there
has been less labor trUu-
BILE in department stores
than in any other class
of work.
1t Is pretty hard to get
happy workers to throw
down their tools"

For the Next 0lympics!

The cutting out of the marathon
race from the Olympics may be wise,
but this and several other things
raise the question as to whether the
present committee that is taking ac-
ton which is published from time to
time in brief paragraphs through
cable dispatches has any idea of the
Importance of such action as it may
take at this time. If the Olympic
games are to be the real things once
more they must represent not only
the belief of varied nations, but the
best study of the greatest experts
along the line of results. 1t may be
that the cutting out Of distance
race like the marathon is wise. 1t
may mean, on the other hand, a con-
fession of deterioration or may lead
to such deterioration. There is no
question that a man of military age
twenty-one to thirty-should be able
to cover a distance of a little more
than twenty-five miles. without the
use of a horse or motor car. And
the marathon distance has been GOV.
cred for many years by people OF all
nations. The olympic marathon was
won by a Greek in 1896, by a French
man in 1900. by a Canadian in 1906,
by South African in 1912 and by an
American in 1908. That is a pretty
distribution Of honors. and II we be-
come SO anxious as to submerge
courage under the maximum of eau
ton we may be leading the way
toward deterioration we little
dream of.

Notes From Ny Sketchbook.

The Journal Courier. New Haven,
has this item: al Sharpe, according
to report, will draw down $500
year as athletic director at Yale"
AL Sharpe graduated from Yale In
the class Of 1902. He played foot
ball, base ball, basket ball and put
the shot. The most marked traits
that AL showed in his career as
player were those of determination
and persistence. He had knack and
skill, but still he kept everlastingly
at it. He made himself first-class
drop-kicker and. while at first rather
weedy, he strengthened UP. as he
matured. He studied medicine after
graduation, then went to Penn Char
ter School, Pa. Here he made name
for himself as a successful coach,
good disciplinarian and a man OF high
character. After he had been there
a few years Cornell had developed a
losing streak in foot ball and G. Irving
Kent, manager, came to see the writer
as to the possibilities of securing
head foot ball coach. The writer
advised him to secure Al Sharpe II
he could be released by Penn Charter.
After looking over the field Kent
decided to follow this advice. and
Cornell secured Sharpe. who, after a
years experience, succeeded in, turn
ing the tables for them and winning
their main game, that with Penn
sylvania at Philadelphia on Thanks
giving day Since then Sharpe has
continued at Cornell until this year,
when he returns to his alma mater
as athletic director.

Age Will Tell.

Brookes is forty-two years old.
Much of his irritation during that
long. hard match against Mclaughlin
at Forest Hills in which he finally
lost after fifteen games all''
was due to the fact that age
has fixed habits and hates intrusion,
while youth is keyed up by 1t. His
anger and appeals to the judges about
the noise and cheering were really
only signs of the coming on Of age
and his protest against bubbling
youth. He will never be the player
of old. because he is past tennis age,
but as past master of the art of the
courts he may still be labeled dan
gerous. and although Patterson beat
him in straight sets, we cannot be
sure that we have men who can do
the same. He Is always steady. al
ways fighting, and he has the ability
to think fast when in action. l saw
him come through at Wimbledon, in
1914, when there were many times
that one error in judgment, one
false move could have beaten him.
For it was hot. and he was old and
the pace was telling. yet he concealed
all this and had his desire. But it
was brains and execution that won
for him and no brilliancy of play.

No word has yet been received from

New York owners are very anxious to
