mixing the advantages that lie In the
comprehensively organized Amateur
Athletic Union OF the United States the
British Amateur Athletic Association is
following in the footsteps OF the sue
cessors Of the late James Z. Sullivan.
At a recent meeting the association de-
cided to form branch associations in
every county in England and to make
special efforts to encourage and super
wise sport among the schoolboys.
There was a large attendance, includ-
ing representatives from the north
south and midlands. II was decided to
hold the general championship meeting
on Saturday. July 8. and the seven mile
walking and ten mile running champion
ships in the autumn.
With reference to the invitation from
prominent clubs In America to send Sc
lected athletes to take part In the forth
coming important meetings In the
United States in March It was decided
that no invitations could be entertained
until after rehabilitation.
The question OF the reinstatement OF
athletes who had lost their amateur
status during the war was discussed and
referred to the general committee for
further consideration. The results of
the special treconstruction) committee
were submitted. the following being the
full text:
II. That an organization. with a sub
scriblng membership. should be set up In
each county in the country.
40. The duties OF such organization
to be:
"Ca) The encouragement and general
control OF athletics in the county
"(b) The promotion OF county cham

and field. t2) Cross-country. (3N Ele-
mentary schools, athletic. 90 Second

lions, athletic.
"tc) To form similar organizations in
each county and other borough, urban
and rural districts in the county, the
duty Of which should be the promotion
OF championships, as set out in CO for
their borough or district.
Anent Prizes.
"(d) As far as possible such champion
| ships should be for teams rather than In
dividuals. Tho prizes should be In the
form OF medals and other articles OF
I small intrinsic value. Where trophies
are awarded they should not be given
for individual events, but for teams with
the highest score in n series OF events.
"te) That such county organizations
should be entitled to representation on
! the association.
- Believing that prizes OF large in
trinsic value are prejudicial TO true am
ateurism, the committee recommends that
the limit OF value for an individual prize
hnhii he f3-h -
-. While of opinion that proposals for
team rather than Individual competitions

upon the question, the committee urges

VERY FEW FLORIDA
CATTLE AFFECTED
PRACTICALLY DIsEAsE-EREE
Good Showing Made by this State in
tuberculosis Tests by Gov
ernment Officials

The recent list published by the
U. s. Department of Agriculture
showing the herds of cattle in the
United States that have been tested
by government officers and found
free from tuberculosis, shows very
gratifying number of herds in the
State of Florida that are free from
this serious animal disease. Prof.
c. L. Willoughby of the College of
Agriculture, in discussing this matter
says that the list UP to April / of
this year includes ~ herds in Flor
ida, which is larger number than
any of the Gulf Coast States except
Mississippi, and considerably larger
than some of the middle and far
western states. The work is in
charge of DR.. j. G.. Fish, veteri-
marian in the employ of the govern
ment, with headquarters at Talla-
hassee, Fla, in cooperation with the
State Livestock Sanitary Board.
DR.. Fish is pushing the work in Flor
ida as rapidly as possible, and Is
meeting with liberal response from
all breeders of the state, and is hav-
ing considerable trouble in keeping
a sufficient number of expert men to
meet the demand for this work in the
state.
OF the II herds already tested 73
are pure or grade Jerseys, Ho1-
stein-Friesians, | Ayrshire, and l
Shorthorn herd. The fact that such
large number OF Jersey herds are
present in the state and free from
this disease Is attracting the atten-
tion OF the officers OF the American
Jersey Cattle Club, with headquar-
proposing upon this showing to begin
a vigorous campaign for stimulating
further interest in the Jersey breed,
especially in securing better sires for
this large number of herds, to in
crease the producing ability of the
next crop of dairy calves, and to as
sist in developing and stabilizing the
dairy industry of the state.
1t is found that under Florida con-
ditions very little tuberculosis occurs
among the cattle raised in the state.
Experts believe that most of the cases
of this disease now present have been
imported in stock brought from other
states and communicated to our
healthy cattle. Fortunately the
State Livestock Sanitary Board does
not permit the Importation of dairy
cattle for breeding purposes until
they are proven free from tubercuios-
Is. BY eliminating the small per-
cent of diseased animals now within
he state. Florida can soon be de-
,lared entirely free from this animal
'courge. Mild climate and outdoor
conditions assist greatly in keeping
iown this trouble.

NEW YORK-CUBA AIRPLANE SER

Announcement was made IN New

Daytona, Palm Beach, Miami, and

The initial trip is to be made by
three flying boats, with Robert Hew-

this first trip will require twenty
eight flying hours, but. as the distance
is only $500 miles 1t is expected that
this time will later be materially re-
duced
