broken a couple of javelins and run

me to go to New York.
1--WE stayed in New York about a
week going over to Newark, n. j.,
every day to practice. We had a
Grand time in New York, and the
members of the team got to know
each other before we sailed. There
were thirteen girls in the American
team, girls from New York, New Jer-
sey, Chicago, Louisiana, Florida, the
Canal Zone and South Carolina.
"On August l the team, with coach
es and chaperones, sailed from New
York on the Aquitania. 1t took US
lust six days to cross and we had a
wonderful trip. We enjoyed it 50
much that we hated to leave the ship.
We got up each morning before break
fast and practiced on deck, one OF
which the captain let US use. To prac-
tice the 1000 meier run | had to go
round the deck three times, which

"On August 7 we landed at Cher

aoUR LUDY" COMES HOME

Under the above headline the Win
throp College News prints the follow
ing article onsa visit made by Miss
Lucille Gotbold to her alma mater. 1t
will be remembered that Miss God
bold broke the worlds record in shot
putting at the games in Paris recent
ly and the many former winthrop
students as we'll as the state as a
whole are interested in her victory:
On the morning of Saturday, Octo-
her Z, chapel was going as usual.
President Johnson was standing
where he has stood all these years.
The hymn was announced, the Scrip
ture read, the Lords Prayer was re-
peated as usual, and then the an
nouncements-but just as DR.. john
son had begun to tell that the movie
that night would show "Oar Ludy'
in action at the Paris Olympic, the
marshals with their beribboned staffs
appeared in the rear, and with their
entrance a roar, storm, thunder
storm, of applause swept down the
student crowd. 1t was deafening, ov-
erwhelming. The newcomers, espec-
tally on. the platform, wondered what
it was all about, but soon someone
said, "It's Ludy" And so behind
the marshals there came tall, grace
full young woman, tastefully dressed
in dark blue, and evidently over
whelmed by her roaring reception.
And how theydid roar! They would
have roared more had thirteen hum
dred girls possessed other means of
roaring besides feet, hands and lungs.
Finally, the Narshals reached the
platform, where they presented the
heroine to the president, who seat
ed her in his chair and then with his
mastefly direcfness and terseness
told of his trip to Paris, of the Olym-
pic contest, and of the Winthrop vic
tories. "It's good to see 'Ludy' in the
movie" concluded DR.. Johnson, ''but
it's better to have her here in the
flesh, so it gives me special pleasure
to present her to you this morning" "
As, the modest, self-possessed young
woman stepped to the front the storm
again broke loose, the storm of twen-
ty-six hundred hands trying. to tell in
one volume the welcome that was
stirring in thirteen hundred hearts,
but it was trying to say something
that after all could never be said, ev-
en- by twenty-siX hundred hands and
thirteen hundred hearts. When the
storm subsidized, IN voice full of IN
dividuahty, Our Ludy' began to
speak and here is what she said, but
as you read put in roars of applause
at every telling point:

John Horne Tooke.

A renegade priest, who openly
scoffed at his calling and who led a
life, to say the least, which could not
be called respectable, would not be
well esteemed as a private citizen, not
vithstanding his learning and the in
gcnuity of his own generally admired
work. "The Diversions of Purley.''
John Horne TooSe was born on June
25. 1876. and it was not so many years
after that he was looked upon as one
of the political pests Of the era. 1t is
rather startling that all the pubic
questions on which his opinions we're
deemed mischievous have since been
settled in his favor.
Tooke was fined and imprisoned for
his opposition to England'S war with
her colonies. Twenty-three years after
his death reforms in the house of com
mons which he strongly advocated
were brought about. He was the tirST
prominent EngliShman to proclaim the
advantages of free trade. and his
biography may we'll be kept in view as
a monument to the futility OF intoler-
ance.-ChicagO Journal.

Rock Has Great History.

A report on the Dome OF the RocK
of Jerusalem is shortly to be pub
HsheG and will be Of great interest to
the Mohammedan world. 1t may not
be generally known that this place IS
the third in sanctity of all the sane
tuaries of Islam, and indeed for
short period it actually formed the
Kibla toward which all Moslems
prostrated themselves in prayer.
Among the more important religious
associations of this rock we may men
ton that it was here that David and
Solomon were called to repentance,
and on account of a vision David
chose this site for his temple. From
this same spot Mohammed ascended
70 the Seventh Heaven after his night
Journey from Mecca, and lastly 1t IS
to be the scene Of the Great Judg-
ment. The historical associations are
not less striking, and such famous
names as Omar, Alde.lmalek. Saiadin
and Suleiman are all connected with
the rock.-Zanzibar Gazette.

Fort Worth, Texas, April 26.-Sey-
enteen probably dead and property
damages estimated at approximately
81 100000 is the toll of food which
swept Fort Worth early yesterday.
Scores Of residences and small build
ings were carried away, hundreds of
acres of land inundated and several
city streets covered.
AT least 800 are homeless, accord
ing to relief agencies.
The estimate of possibly II dead
was made by Maj. L. &. White, in
charge of Red Cross relief. However,
none of the local undertaking estab-
lishments has received a body.
John j. Mccain. chairman of the
levee board, issued statement last
night in which he declared the levees
which gave away were "dynamited
by unknown parties" and that an in
vestigation by grand jury would
be demanded Immediately.
The flood was confined chiefly to the
lowlands adjoining the tributaries of
the Trinity river. Marine, Sycamore,
Clear Forks and Trinity rivers were
swollen, overfowing the bottoms near
by.
Water stood three feet deep in the
stsck yards here and was only foot
from the live stock exchange build
ing tonight This water was expected
to subside quickly, however.
The food is the most severe in the
history of the city, according to old
time residents. Trinity river stood
at 36.7 feet this afternoon and was
still rising. The gauge measured only
seven feet yesterday. With the break
of the East First street levee, it was
believed the water on being released
would spread out, losing some Of its
force.
Coming on the heels of a nine-mch
rain, the heaviest in the history Of
Fort Worth, and wind and electri-
cal storm. the flood took scores of
people by surprise. The lowlands ad-
joining Sycamore creek were the first
to suffer, and at one time water was
standing level with the roofs of resi-
dences.
Word reaching here last night from
points north of Fort Worth indicate
that a further rise Of the water is eX-
pected and that every effort was being
made to prevent additional loss of life
and property. Rescue workers are Ia
boring tirelessly in bringing relief to
flood sufferers and attempting to res
cue the flood stricken. The entire city
has united in this work.
With boiler rooms of the city power
and light company flooded, residen-
tial Fort Worth spent the night in
darkness. No drinking water has
been available since early yesterday
morning.
