Since the closing of the registrars
books is so near at hand, October 2,
the ladies in and around Elton are,
getting lined up for action. The tele-
phone wires are buzzing with inquir-
les and arrangements being made
about getting to the parish seat. We
wonder why some Of the really live
candidates for Office have not been a
little more courteous to the ladies
and given some help along the new
way, and possibly have induced the
proper authorities to make registra
tion at home possibility. We wonder
too, if there had been some three
hundred or more young men coming
of age so near election time If there
wouldhave been. this same atmosphere
of indifference. We wonder!

Outclasses All Other Nations
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES LOOMS
Makes a World Record

Antwerp, Aug 16-America's powerful
and we'll balanced track and field team
continued to gather honors in the second
day of the seventh Olympiad. 1t out
classed all the other nations combina-
tons. but its members were not strong
enough individually to win all the first
place honors, particularly in the classic
ancient pentathlon, in which the Finnish
star, e. Lehtonen, proved to be the best
all-'round athlete.
In addition to the Americans scoring
the greatest number of points, the only
world record of the day was made by
Frank LOOMS of the Chicago A. A. in the
4OO-meter hurdles with 81 seconds fiat, a
full second better than the time made
by c. Bacon in the London Oympics in
1908. In both the hurdles and the 100
metres dash, four of the six finalists
were American athletes, of whom three
ran first in the hurdles and two first in
the 100 metres.
A majority of the experts at the finish
line of the 1Oo-mctcr event. but not the
officials, insisted that j. V. Scholz of the
University of Missouri was third instead
Of fifth as officially placed. but a protest
entered by the Americans was with
drawn when 1t was realized that there

In the other event, the heats before
the semi-flnals in the s00-meter run all
the Americans retained places. but II
was generally conceded by the American
runners that the South African, B. G. D.
Rudd. had a sure first in the final.
The Americans performances to-day
netted them a total of 43 points in the
track and field events-17 in the hurdles
10 in the 100 meters dash and Ii in the
pentathon-out of a possible 66 for the
days contests.
Sweden. which gained only one-f1fth
place to-day to add to yesterdays one
sixth place, has only three-pont track
total. but Finland, by the 10 points won
in the javelin throw yesterday and the
ten in to-day's pentathlon. has 20, and
is second to the Americans
France has six points, England four
