THE SKIJUMPING
Continued from Page One)

Augustus limitations to their ancient
sport brought from the hills of the
Scandinavian peninsula, Fifteen men
and boys and one girl did the jump
ing and Maine men showed they have
just as much courage il not as much
skill as some of the expert perform
ers who came here from away.
AS a matter of fact, Wilbur Elliott
of the University of Maine who ran
such a sensational race in the cross
country ski event, carried off the
honors of the day so far as form was
concerned when it came to ski jump
ing. His score of $50 points put him
in the lead. but only Is ahead of the
dainty Margaret Towne. the 14-year-
old girl phenomenon from Berlin.
The Gannett ski slide is a tricky
one. The slide itself has fall of a

is practically horizontal with no rise
at the end to throw the jumper into
the air.
This proved the undoing of some #
the collegians. for no sooner had they
jumped than their skis were the
highest part of them and they landed
on their shoulders.
DR.. Adolph Olsen of Portland. win
ner of innumerable trophies. was the
sensational performer of the meet.
Calmly smoking a cigarette. he sped
Gown the precipitous decline and
shot into the air with a waving of
skis that made one wonder Just how
he was going to land When he
wished TO stop after the jump, he
executed rcht-ansled turn that
caused his skis to scrape and sing
much as skates do on the ice.
To bring to an end the thrilling
program, this same Olsen twice at
tempted to loop the loop on his skis,
which is another way of saving he
tried to turn a forward somersault
in the air. He turned, all right. but
the lack of height of the take off pre-
vented him from getting completely
round, so that he didn't land quite
right side up. Still he demonstrated
to the satisfaction and the excitement
Of the crowd what the act is and the
immense skill it requires.
Margaret Towne, by her graceful
poise and careful manOeuvering of
the skis, won. the admiration Of
everyone. while Clarence Olsen and

Augusta itself was not without its
ski jumpers, for Clyde Metcalf, and
Walter Foster and Charles Harris of
Cony High school all competed.
So steep was the hill where the
jumping took place that. after a
jump had been mpleted-provided
the skier stayed upright, he generally
did not stop until he reached the

even go to the House in the Trees.
In the contests, there were a trial

for distance. In the jumping for

determine which the skill in landing
and the grace of skiing were deciding
factors.

FOUND CALF HAD "WALLoP"
Old DarIy's Repartee by No Means as Successful as He Had Thought
 1t Might Be.

In small country town lived a1 old darky who had been slave He had been arrested dozen times for stealing chickens. And the children of the town all knew him, and when ne would come along the streets with a bag under his arm the children would yell at him, 'Roost high, chickens, here comes Crocker '" (That was his name.)
 One time he was coming along the street and a man who had at one time stolen a calf met him. But the man who had stolen a calf didn't know that Crocker knew he had stolen a calf. He was about half drunk and thought he was going to have some fun with Crocker. So he yelled at Crocker several times, "Roost high, chickens, here comes Crocker p
 And old Crocker just stood and looked at him for few minutes and then yelled 'Ma-a-h," just like young calf, and it made the man so mad that he walked over and hit Crocker and knocked him down.
 Old Crocker lay on the ground until the man walked away, and then he got up and brushed himself off and said very quietly, My God, that calf can kick" Philadelphia Ledger.

DENY MAN IS DETERIoRATING
Scientists Have Shown That the Aver age Stature Is About What 1t
 Has Always Been.

It appears from the results of scientific measurements made in France that the average stature of man is neither increasing nor de- creasing. The skeletons of the men who inhabited France at a period when Europe was the home of lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, hyenas and reindeer are of very nearly the same size as those of the French people of today.
 Yet the surroundings amid which these early men lived were remark ably different from those enjoyed by their successors. Their best abodes were caves, and to hold possession of them they had to wage warfare upon such fierce beasts as the saber- toothed tiger and the cave bear.
 Without our modern weapons it would seem that they should have possessed superior bodily powers, but there is no evidence that they did. They had human cunning, however, which always prevails over brute strength.
 Later came the ancestors of the Gauls and Franks, and they seem to have slightly exceeded the cayemen in stature, and also to have been a trife taller than their modern de- scendants.
