Joe Rudy says that Ribert Nc
Allister. the Flying Cop is the
finest specimen of a man and an
athlete that he ever looked at.
Probably Joe Rudy has examined
more finely built man than anyone
else in the world. For many years
he has been chief examiner of can
didates for the New York police
force-an organization that has had
in its membership. from time to
time, great world champions like
Jack Eller. John Flanagan. Matt
McGrath, Pat Mcdonald, and the
peerless all-around athlete, Martin
Sheridan. So when Joe says that
McAllister Is the finest" his word
carries authority.
McAllister is the newest sprinting
marvel. In almost no time at all
he has come from nothing to a
place among the champions and
record holders As a sprinter he Is
second only to Charlie Paddock.
With the same coaching and
training that Paddock has had in
college under the keen eye of Coach
Cromwell of Southern California
McAllister might today be holding
the whole lot of world sprint
records.
He may hold them anyway in an
other year or two.
McAllister is the sprinting sensa-
ton not only of this year. but OF
all the history of American ath-
letics. because of the phenomenal
speed he has developed with very
little training, no coaching at all
and only a dozen competitions.
Ambition Was TO BOX.
Until September IL of last year
when he won the 100 yards in the
N. Y. Police Games. McAllister was
unknown as an athlete. Since then
he has lost but one race. and has
broken one long standing worlds
record-that for the 150-yard run
indoors.
McAllister was born in New York
City. He did a little running in
school games and was unbeatable
in the sprints. but at that time he
didn't care much for running and
his ambition was to be a great
boxer.
He boxed a large number Of anna
teur bouts in various clubs and at

boxers tried to induce him to sign

Results of Car Shortage.

Many complaints of lack of sui
hclent railroad equipment to move
farm crops aud other products are
heard Big losses are predicted be-
cause of failure of the roads TO supply
sufficient empty cars.
According to the railroads, the
trouble is that their expenses for labor
and materials are higher relative to
their income. than they were before
the war They say that owing TO
their very narrow margin of profit
they can not AFFORD to spend the money
for equipment aud maintenance that
they need.
While freight rates are high and
constitute tremendous burden. II
does not always pay to lower them.
The farmer may save dollar by
getting rate down But il as a re-
suit of such reduction, the railroad is
deferred from buying the equipment
that It needs. so that 1t can not handle
the farmers crops he may stand to
lose two dollars for every one he gains.
The railroads must pay sufficient
divident so that they can get credit
aud attract capital.
let the public demands assurance
that II is not paying dividends on
watered securities The railroads
claim that their properties are worth
around s2o 900, o00, 200. but many
critics of railroad operation say that
their value is far below that sum.
There is great need for arriving at
some valuation of these properties
that will be generally accepted as fair
aud Just, and on which reasonable
dividend can be computed. The in
terstate commission has been working
for number of years on such A
valuation, but it is tremendously
complicated task involving many dis
puted poNnts of view Ii viii nav in

sonable degree Of prosperity. But
the arrangements thereof must be
very careful not to take advantage of
the public, aud impose unfair charges
based on inflated capitalizations.

Making Country Life Popular.

The success, advance, and popularity
of country life depends principally on
the kind Of leadership you have in a
country town.
In some places there are plenty Of
bright people, but no one seems TO
have any go ahead spirit. Those who
have ability maybe afraid of criticism.
aud fear of being laGQ hted at if they
took hold of any kind of community
project. They are perhaps afraid that
the thing they have in mind will not
prove success, and they dislike 10 be
responsible for any kind of a fizzle.
You can't have good civic organiza-
tons, you can not have an improving
social life, unless a certain number of
people are willing TO go ahead and lay
out some plans for activities aud work
little to carry them out.
The lack of spare time is commonly
given as the reason why capable PEG
pie do not show initiative. More fire.
quently though, it Is because of a dis
like for taking the lead. Ministers
and teachers can make themselves
tremendously useful in these ways
The minister Of the future will not
spend quite so much time writing
sermons, but will spend more time in
organizing helpful activities among
his people.
The teacher of the future will not
spend quite so much time studying
up facts and information. but she will
spend more in helping the community
utilize its own resources.
In some places young people try to
wake mp their home town by loud and
moreor less disorderly conduct. Tha,

A LITTLE. TALK ON THRIFT
B. S. ". STRAUS
President Of American Society for Tn

A great deal has been said and
written about the value of enthusiasm.
and, while We must not under esti-
mate its place in our personal lives
or in our business activities, it is well
to bear IN MIND the wisdom of Goe-
the's observation that enthusiasm is
of the greatest value. when We are
not carried away by it, 3"
Even in the matter of saving there
is such thing as being carried away
by enthusiasm. The miser is an
example of this. In order to save
and get ahead steadily it is vital that
We always keep our feet on the solid
ground of prudence.
To be effective, saving must be con-
tinuous. The person who pinches
and saves every possible penny for a
short time and then gives mp and
quits, will never reach the goal of in
dependence or success. Therefore. if
is well always to have in mind the
matter of moderation. Saving a rea-
sonable amount regularly gives ever
increasing sterilization and strength.
When we are strong and well we are
apt to pay little or no attention to
matters of health. Then if we be-
come i'll we suddenly become greatly
Interested in the care of our physical
being and we feel that when we re-
cover we will never again allow our
selves to become neglectful.
1t is the same way regarding finahci-
al matters. In the yigor of youth or
in times of great prosperity, we are
apt to disregard the value of thrift.
We drift along from day to day and
year to year without preparations for
the future. Then suddenly some mis-
fortune happens and we find ourselves
confronted by the stern realities of
financial impairment. Possibly we
have lost our position through Illness
or perhaps the source of our income
Is Unexpectedly wiped out. Then we
think of thrift and make up our
minds that if we ever become pros
porous again we shall not neglect to
put aside portion of our earnings
for the future.
Being thrifty does not mean that
we must be an extremist in the noatter
of saving money or in giving up right
full pleasures. Cultivate moderation.
Do not save TO the point of being
miser, and to the exclusion of the
various uplifting elements that should
be part of our lives.
On the other hand we must use
moderation in the matter of pleasure
and ont of our earnings make sure
that we are providing for the lean
days that are sure to come.

AGITATION AGAINST 5ULLFIcHT
The tragic death Of Manuel era
nero. one Of the most famous BULL
fighters Of Spain. who was killed in
the ring at Madrid, has revived the
agitation for the abolition Of this
sport, says the Living Age. HeraldO
de Madrid quotes with approval from
a pamphlet circulated by the French

condemning bulihghts. which are still
popular in the southern part of
France. The same journal quotes
from Blasco Ibanez; What inn
presses me especially is the audience.
The audience at bull ring gives free
rein 70 It's basest, most cruel and fe-
r0cious instinct does so with mob
passion more uncurbed than In mu-

thirst for blood and butchery.
The cowardice Of such men, exciting
others to kill and to be killed, is. In
my opinion, one OF the most odious
exhibitions in the world" Bullfights

The federal Department of Agricul-
ture estimates that insects cost this
country $l000,0O0,0O0 per year. Most
of this damage IS done to farm crops,
but market and suburban gardens pay
no small toll, and the harm to trees
alone each year Is given at $780,
100000. Like all who have studied the
problem, Or. Seayer, who speaks for
the department in this case, lays
stress on the value OF birds as natural
insect destroyers He declares that
birds are ten times as effective as ar
tifcial remedies, and quotes a western
investigator who reported that 10
carloads Of harmful insects are de
stroyed each day by birds in the state
OF Nebraska The figures seem utterly
incredible but they are youched for by
a man high in the technical service of
the United States. Certain it is that
man is engaged in constant warfare
against insect life, and that in this
war the birds are mans best allies
That fact is better appreciated now
than formerly but It needs plenty OF
publicity even yet.
