CYCLING GETS
 STARTED EARLY

NEW YORK, May 22. - Outdoor bicycle racing got an earlier start this year than has ever been recorded in the columns of sport dopsters. Ordi- narily, cyclists do not get going until Memorial day or after. It has been the exception when more than five or ten races preceded May 90.
 This year more than 100 races and -road programs were run off during the STIrEt week in May. fully a month ahead of the usual season.
 All parts Of the country reflected the. increasing vogue of the bicycle as sport thriller Between % and 40 of the early May races were on the Pa eific coast. California especially has | big following of bicycle sport fans. Starting from New York and Newark, \. J., the bicycle race fever has spread ln the east to Massachusetts and down the coast through Baltimore to Florida, learly every Atlantic state having been represented in the race programs ot last week. The mid western ana mountain states also show a renewed interest in bike races with enthusiasm

 We cannot account for the bicycle boom wholly by Bicycle week or the Olympics, however, MT. Rinck con tinued All through the winter, six day races and other indoor bicycle events attracted thousands where hun treds attended before. And the open ing of vclodromes and outdoor bicycle tracks in April has shown the same public enthusiasm.
 Reports from manufacturers show their plants rushed to the limit to keep production apace with the unprece- dented demand for bicycles. The only answer is that the American public is taking up the bicycle again in earnest for its recreation and its sport.
 Bicycle week celebrations included many preliminary tryouts for the Olympic team. The winners of last week will be eligible for the district preliminary races which will be con-

by Acting Secretary of the Navy

CHINESE EVOLVE
SCHEME TO BEAT.
JAPANESE PLAN

TSINAN, Shantung Province,
China, July 2.-While the Shantaung
problem remains unsolved and the
Japanese occupation of areas Ger
many formerly controlled continues,
a means to oppose the Japanese has
been worked out along economic lines
by Chu Ying-kuang, civil governor
of the province.
C'hu Ying-kuang, who has come
to be regarded by foreigners of the
Far East as one Of China's greatest
administrative figures, has launched
the daring project of building within
Shantung. a great system of high
ways to be used by an automobile
truck service in connecting all i'm
portant centers. AS a corollary, he
plans to deepen and improve water
ways so that these roads and
streams will afford to Chinese of the
province transportation system
that will place them on an equal
footing with the Japanese who now
control channels of communication.

People Of Jamaica Are
Fighting Prohibition

KINGSTON, Jamaica, July O.
Thousands of residents Of this island,
the home of Jamaica rum, have
united in a protest to the govern
ment and legislative council against
prohibition, state control Of the
liquor trade or alteration Of the pres
ent licensing system.
A measure has been introduced in
the legislature by the government
providing for state control of the
trade after the legislative council had
been asked to consider also the ques-
tons Of prohibition and licensing.
Those opposed argued in a memo
rial to the government that the man
ufacture of rum, as by-product of
sugar, had been carried on in the
island for hundreds of years and
formed a very important industry
which would be seriously affected if
prohibition were imposed. They OBJ
jected also to state control chiefly
on the ground of expense and risk in

No Clue Yet to
Bandit Who Robbed
Train of $4,000

AUGUSTA, Ga; July 2.-The dar-
ing theft of $59,S25, constituting the
marine barracks payroll bound for
Paris Island, S. C., from local pas
senger train in Augusta on Wednes-
day, remains unsolved.
No arrests have been made and
the case stands where it was We'd
nesday night, when the only clue to
the identity of the bandit who is
said to have overpowered the two ex-
press messengers, was the statement
of several persons residing in the
river bottom, below Augusta, on the
Carolina side of the Savannah river
that they saw a man fitting the de-
scription endeavoring Wednesday to
get across the river.
Although the same man is believed
to have ben seen later in the day at
a store six miles below Augusta, nc
trace has been heard of him OF
the stolen loot since. The two mes
sengers who claim they were chloro-
formed, bound and gagged, are re.
manning in Augusta in consultation
with special agents Of the express
company in an effort to solve the
mystery surrounding the identity Of
the bandit.
