dashing down the track between the
chalk lines ,skimming over the hur-
dies and tossing the weights in mid
field may be a feature Of the 1928
Olympic games.
intercollegiate track meets between
Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Sweetbriar and
othr elite schools for girls may become
ordinary features of the outdoor ath-
letlc season in few years.
William C. Prout, president of the
Amateur Athletic Union, is one of the
authorities who not only believes that
women's sphere In sports is widening
to this point, but is getting ready for
1t.
Within year. the A. A. u may
recognize subsidiary body to control
track and field athletics. DR. Harry
Eaton steward. coach of Oakesmere
school and chairman ofjthe National
Woman's Track Athletics Committee,
has already approached the union Of
fcials for recognition.
While II is generally known fact
that women have become important
figures in outdoor sports in England,
France and Germany, the advances
made by American girls in the same
lines are comparatively a secret,
In the rush of other big sporting
events, three big girls meets were vir-
tually lost in the dust last year. The
Eastern Preparatory Schools meet at
Mamaroneok. N. Y; the New England
Y. w. c. A. meet at Harvard; and the
Grammar school meet at Los Angeles

with 5000 entries were huge success
es.
Because of the financial problem
arising from the fact that the girls
compete practically in private without
gate revenue, 1t is impossible to hold
national meet for girls, but DR..
Stewart is making plans now to hold
a telegraphic meet in May in which he
hopes to have entered about twenty
large schools for girls.
Standard events under the existing
rules are the 80, SO, rs, 100 and 220-
yard runs so, IS, and 100-yard hur-
dies e. 1-2 feet hurdles); 22O and
44O-yard relay races; standing high

shot puts and throws of baseball,
basketball, hurlbal (six pounds),

The committee insists upon medical
examination Of all competitors and
close supervision Of all meets.
Women already have invaded tho
tennis, swimming and gymnastic
branches of the Olympicgames. The
American team that made the trip to
Antwerp in 1920 included large
number of girl swimmers. but the
Swedes and the Danes, in addition to
the large number of girl swimmers
had an equally large number of gym
nasts.

at least 100000 pounds of wool. The

from dirt and grease. The average
rate of increase this year is close to
100 per cent and probably Mr.. Cum

Figuring from this basis, with about

THE HOME TOWN

1t doesn't matter much be its build
ings great or small,
The home town, the home town is the
best town, after all.
The cities Of the millions have the sun
and stars above.
But they lack the friendly faces of the
few you've learned to love,
And with all their pomp of riches and
with all their teeming throngs,
The heart Of man is rooted in the town
where he belongs.
There are places good to visit, there
are cities fair to see,
There are haunts of charm and beauty
where at times it's good to be,
But the humblest little hamlet sings a
MELODY to some.

And no matter where they travel 1t Is
calling them to come;
Though cities rise to greatness and are

There is something in the home town
which no other towns possess.
The home town has a treasure which
the distance cannot gain,
1t is there the hearts are kindest,
there the gentlest friends re-

1t is there a mystic something seems
to permeate the air
To set the weary wanderer to wishing

HOUSING HARVARD
BUSINESS SCHOOL
Authorities Considering Erection of
Now Group of BuiIdings-Dor-
mit0ries Especially Needed

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. May 27.-A COM
prehensive plan for solving the critical
housing problem of the Harvard bust
ness school by lifting it bodily out of its
present surroundings and erecting for
it a new group of buildings within easy
reach of the other Harvard departments
is under consideration by officials of the
university. Tentative plans have been
made for raising the necessary funds,
and it Is hoped that the buildings may
become a reality in the immediate fu-
tuTe.
The new group would consist of cen
trail building with administrative offices
and classrooms, and from two to four
dormitories for students. At present the
business school has its headquarters in
University hall, holds its classes mostly
in improvised space such as the base
ment of Lawrence hall and the base
ment of the Harvard Union and is able
to house less than quarter of its stu
dents in dormitories. Wallace B. Don
ham, dean of the business school, said
today that to him the provision of
dormitories for men studying business at
Harvard is even more important than
the securing of ampler classroom facili-
ties if the students are to get, the most
out of their two years of graduate work.

Especial Despatch to The Reformer)
Copyright 1922
WASHINGTON, May 27-TaIk of
applying a cloture rule in the senate to
shut off tariff debate and compel an
early vote viii not get very far. There
is so much to be done yet on the tariff
bill, so many hundreds of amendments
to discuss and consider seriously that
except for a general speed up influence
which might result from threat of
cloture, the progress of the tariff bill will
hardly be affected.
The tariff situation is troublesome to
everybody. On the Republican side
there Is no insurgency, so to speak for
the farm bloc got what is wanted i'm
the way of tariff duties early in the
game but considerable doubt is felt, and
indeed expressed, by Republicans as to
whether it would be a wise thing to pass
p permanent tariff bin at a time when
international exchange is disturbed and
costs OF production are subject to such
wide fluctuations due to conditions
originating with the late war
But the problem has gone far beyond
the stage of enaeting temporary tariff
bill to bridge over the emergency of the
next two or three years. The republi-
cans must decide whether they will pass
this pending bill or not. As the time for
Il vote comes the doubling ones will
probably fall i'll with the wishes of the
party leaders and the measure win be
passed.
More than 1000 amendments await
action by the senate. The senate has
been talking tariff more than a month
ard has hardly gotten through with
third of the amendments. Two thousand
more will take longer than those which
roll 1F
portant items have hitherto been taken
I'm and the major parts of the bill re-
main. There is no telling how long the
important items VIII take and the Re
publicans themselves viii not wish to
gloss over them too hurriedly
The tariff bill is tieing up the whole
legislative program. Proponents of the
bonus think they can inierject their
measure but they are mistaken If the
tariff is once displaced. much of the mo-
mentum behind it viii be lost. The
bonus advocates on the other hand realize
as the fall elections get closer the
tendency of the senate will he to spend
less time discussing the bonus and quick
action can be expected.
Even assuming that the tariff and
bonus are disposed Of some vital ques-
tons are bound to arise and consume
time in connection with the army and
navy appropriation bills The house
voted the army to consist of ~, 900 men,
Many members of the senate want to cut
it to 10000. In the house after a bitter
fight the administration succeeded in
keeping the strength of the navy at So
600 men instead of $1,000 as the house
naval committee reported it. Now senat-
ors on the naval committee are talking
of increasing the size of the navy to 100
600 men. This means that many differ
ences will have to be iroued out in con-
ference. All these questions viii take a
good deal of time The house is ready
to adjourn within n month and may ask
recess while waiting for the senate to
finish but the hopes of any early adjourn
ment of the senate are beginning to fade
again.

More Than Twice as Much in April Than

crease in the amount of prospective
building throughout the state is indicated
by the reports received by the state de-
partment of labor and industries from
building officials of % cities.
The applications for permits to build
show. for the month of April, 1922, an
aggregate value of S16,0SS, $50, which is
an increase of 295 per cent over that of
March. 1922, the value for March being
ST.. 427 .40S. The value represented by
the applications for April 1922, shows
an increase of 23a.7 per cent over aggre-
gate amount for April, 1921, which was
ST. 734,S12
The estimated value of alterations and
repair work for April 1922, was reported
as 50. $50, or only 13.5 per cent of
the aggregate value, whereas usually such
value constitutes about 20 per cent of the

WILL NOT RUN FOR GOVERNOR.
General Edwards Declines Democratic
Nomination i'm Massachusetts.

BOSTON. May 27.-SIai. Gen. Clar-

army corps area, intimated last evening
that he had no intention of entering poll
tics while he is in the military service,
although he declined to comment on the
report that Mayor Curley bad requested
him to become a candidate for governor
Of Massachusetts on the Democratic
ticket and that he had refused.
There's nothing / can say about it +;
not a word was his reply when ques
toned regarding the story last evening
at his home in Westwood. My people
have always been Republicans. but as an
army officer | am a servant Of the pub
lie and, as such. | am not in a position
to take part in politics or in political dis
eussions"
Dispatches from Washington yesterday
reported that Mayor Curley had urged
the general to run for governor ON the
same ticket with Sherman L. Whipple as
a candidate for the United States senate
against Senator Henry Cabot Lodge In
making this request the mayor offered the
full support Of his own constituency.

Too Easy Going.
Barre Times.)

Whether or not Gov. Hartness's plan
for getting higher percentage of eff
cheney out of state expenditures proves
productive of results, it is certain that
a little closer inspection of methods in
state administration cannot do any harm
to the state of Vermont. As Q matter
of fact. there has, perhaps, been too
little scrutiny of methods not only in the
present administration but in others as
well. As a state we may have been too
easy-going.
