Washington, as the home of George
town University. Is especially inter
ested in the decatblon and pentathlon
events to be held at Antwerp this
month because one of the contestants
will be Bob lie Gendre. the great
Hilltop athlete, who won the all
round title at the interallied meet in
Paris last summer and the American
title at the Penn relays in the spring
Of 1919. For the first time lie Gendre
represents his country against the
world in an olympiad.
In addition to LIE Gendre, IL not
before him. America has two wonders
competing at Antwerp in Brutus
Hamilton and, Everett Bradley. In
the American championships LIE
Gendre is thought to have conserved
some of his strength, using them as

trials for the greater Olympic games
this month. The Georgetown man
had broken a bone in his ankle while
training on the rough track at the
Hilltop. and. having stayed out OF the
Penn relay meet. he used the Olympic
trials as tests for his ankle. How
ever wise judges believe lie Gendre
to be a better athlete than either
Hamilton or Bradley. though he has
yet to defeat them. ..

English Think Well
Win at Antwerp

America is practically conceded
a sweeping victory in the Olympic
track and field games by England,
according to reports from London.
An English writer. whose words
it is said reflect nationwide opinion
in England, says British athletes
are going to Antwerp certain that
they are hopelessly behind the
Americans in every branch Of the
games and that they are not even
sure that they can score more
points than the French. The sue
cess of the Americans in sports is
attributed to intensive scientific
training.

ROMANCE IN ESKIMO CASE.
Sergeant Will Travel Nearly 10000
Miles.

As a stop-over on their long journey
back to the land of endless ice and
snow, Sergt. Douglas of the Royal Ca
madam mounted police, and Auangwak,
an Eskimo, accused of committing q
murder in the regions around the North
Pole, have arrived in Ottawa and are
quartered at the police headquarters at
l20 Victoria street, says an Ottawa
dispatch to the Montreal Star.
The Eskimo is charged with having
murdered brother native in order
to obtain the latters wife. Several
other cases of murder have been re-
ported to the mounted police from the
region around Chesterfield Inlet, and
Ouangwak is going back to stand trial
in his own country as a reminder to
his brother natives that the law of the
white man must be respected.
The story told by Sergt. Douglas will
surely go down in mounted police an
mails, and rivals any of the famous
stories of the force. In December, 1919,
Sergt. Douglas was member of the
Fullerton detachment of the Royal
Northwest mounted police. On the 10th
be. started on his journey after ouang-
wax, and went to Chesterfield and later
on to Baker lake, where he obtained
guides. He was the only white man
who made the journey. From Baker
lake he went to Satkologyouak lake,
and on February Q captured his man.
Then commenced the long trek back TO
civilization and Fullerton, and the on
TO Fort Nelson.
From Fort Nelson TO Kettle Rapids,
distance of 80 miles, dog sled was
used. When Mileage PA on the Hud
son Bay railroad was reached, the
party embarked on the train that
passes there twice month, and, in
due course, reached lie Pas and civiIi-
zation. From lie Pas the prisoner was
taken to the prison at Dauphin, Mani
toba. At this stage in the proceed
ings Sergt. Douglas had Travelled over
1000 miles, OF which only 500 was on
train.
At Nelson he was met by Sergt
Thompson, who also had an alleged
Eskimo murderer as a prisoner. Sergt
Thompson's man was tried at the June
assizes at Winnipeg and sent to Sci.
kirk as insane. When his prisoner was
safe behind the bars at Daupbin, Sergt |
Douglas came to headquarters at Otta.
wa TO receive instructions, and made a |
report to Chief Commissioner !
Perry. After spending a short time in
the east, he was ordered back TO Winni-
peg TO bring his prisoner to Ottawa

sides,

Boston, Aug. 7.-Business at the of.
fees of the Securities Exchange Co.
conducted by Charles Ponzi, seemed
about normal yesterday and there was
no indication of the run that kept the
clerks busy for 10 days or more, Only
% persons were waiting outside the of
fees, when the doors opened and most
OF these were said to be spectators
looking for discouraged note holders.
The audit of Ponzi's accounts by
Edwin l.. Pride in behalf of the federal
district attorney will probably not be
completed before next week, it is said,
as he has not yet had an opportunity
to go over the transactions during the
recent run.
Attorney General j. Weston Allen,
who is making an investigation of Pom
zi's business in behalf of the state, an
nounced yesterday that Assistant At
torney General Edwin FL Abbott had
gone away to work on the case.
He declined to say where Abbott
was, but added, that the Massachu-
settts officials were working in con.
junction with New Hampshire authori-
ties. Mr.. Allen said he was endeavor-
ing to arrange for personal inter
view with Ponzi.
Officials of the state income tax de-
partment, after going over their rec.
ords, found that no return was filed by
Ponzi for the year ending December 81,
1919.
All persons whose gross income ex-
ceeds $1,000, or who may have made
gains from dealings in intangible prop
erty, are required to make return be
fore March first each year. United

once more shattered at the local park
Thursday when 700 rabid fans turned
out to see the Montreal Giants" do
the trick once more, winning from
Moretown, four to one, in a tenth in
ming finish that was most excitig.
Emery, the Giants" best bet, was
the slabster chosen to dish them up to
Moretown stickers. He pitched his us
ual steady game, being in very good
form, so that little damage was done
to the ball Excellent support also
helped him out of many tight places.
Granai was Moreton's choice, and he
pitched a good game throughout but
the hard breaks against his team
mates got him sin Dutch" in the final
tenth Though he was inclined to be
wild at times, he held the Giants" TO
five hits, having held them hitless for
eight frames.
The game went along for nine in
nings without score, but in the tenth
the break up came. Emery reached first
on an error and Garry was hit and both
runners advanced on a nice sacrifice. 1t
was here that their first tally came
across Davidson caught one of the
"Giants" mapping and ATTEMPTED to
throw to Stuart, but Mari, thinking
the throw was for him, stuck out his
hand but failed to hold the ball. One rum
came in Mari booted Files ground

and two more men came in. 1t was the
last for the visitors but plenty enough.

If you have been indiscreet in eat

by oyerwork, and you have become all
run down, don't stay that way, it is
dangerous, as you are in a condition to
take on many other more serious dis
eases. Build yourself up again by sim
ply taking from 10 to 20 drops of SEW
EN- Banks in little water after each
meal, and watch how quickly you will
regain your normal health again.
People beyond the age of middle life
cannot stand what they used to, and
have to be more discreet in all of their
modes of living The majority of such
people need to take occasionally good
stomach and liver regulator, for it is
an indisputable fact that by keeping
the liver active and the digestive or.
gans cleansed and in proper working
order, old age can be deferred and life
prolonged far beyond that enjoyed by
the average person. To attain this
there is no better remedy than SEVEN

years faithfully and successfully served
