FOREIGN COUNTRIES SECURING
 ATHLETES FOR OLYMPIAD

New York, June 3o-While all the members of the American Olympic committee are working individually and collectively to have the United States represented at Antwerp, Bel gium, by the very best teams procur- able on this side of the Atlantic many other countries throughout the world are endeayoring just as earnestly to secure worthy representatives to take part in the Olympic contests.
 King Alexander of Greece, the birth place of the Olympic games, has per- sonally accepted the presidency of the Hellenic committee and is taking upon himself much of the responsibility Of turning out Greek team that will do honor to ancient athletes of that coup- try. King Alexander, who is an a.dent sportsman, has arranged a preliminary credit of 300,000 drachmas which is fully 50 per cent. more than that allow ed by the Greek government to pay the expenses of the Hellenic participation in the Antwerp competitions.
 Word comes from Belgium that the athletes there, who for many years have taken an extraordinary interest ln bicycling, are training hard with a view to winning the cycling events of the seventh Olympiad. Throughout the entire country, which is said to possess probably more bicycles per unit of population than any other continental nation except Holland, cyclists are practicing in elimination trials, along the most perfect roads. which can be found almost any place in Belgium.
 As an example of the speed attained in some of these trials Albert Debunne, who is expected to be a strong con- tender in the 170 skilometer Olympic race, recently covered 42 kilometers in a roadrace in hour, Is minutes. 50 s-5 seconds. Others were only a minute or two behind him. Belgium is also to contend strongly in gymnastics.

A Century of Anthracite.

An even hundred years have elapsed since one William Wurts, a Philadelphia merchant, dSove his team of mules with the first ton of anthracite through the spring freshets and bog land to the b4aks of the Delaware river and fioated the new fuel down the river to Philade'phia on pine log raft.
 But he experienced no little difficulty in that first anthracite year of 1929 in overcoming the popular objection that coal was extremely slow of N;hting." Pine log rafts foated only 365 ,ons of anthracite that year. But it fetcneI a price of SIP a ton and could be delivered freight-on-raft Philadelphia at S5-a fact that was freely advertised to attract additional capital, for, of course. there was no profiteering in those days.
