Winchester operating the same plai1'
is now turning out several thousands
daily. The greatest development in
ice skating has come in the last 20
years.
ROLLER skating first came 10 the
attention of the public in France in
1919, but soon died out. 1t next be
came popular in 1864 in Austria and
the following year it took in England,
then Australia, and in 1866 Americans
took to the sport and it has remained
popular ever since. The roller skates
of the early days were very crude
compared to the modern skates which
combine strength, lightness and ease
of action. There are roller skating
Kinks in several hundred cities and in
many of the amusement parks of the
country. Wherever a city has set
aside a piece of ground, or a number
of streets for roller skating, they i'm
mediately became popular.
"All any healthful sport needs to
make it popular is proper supervision,
and ice skating and roller skating
have been successful in this respect

SKATING SPORT
GAINING FAVOR
Ice and Roller Skating has Taken
Great Steps Forward, Says
Winchester Agent.
How They're Promoted

Ice Skating and Roller Skating are
healthful pastimes and as such they
will continue to grow more in popular
favor each year-at least that is the
opinion of Walter A. Ennis, the local
Winchester Dealer. His opinion is
shared by others.
THE interest manifested in these
pastimes is more apparent now than
at any other season of the year, said
Mr.. Ennis, "for ice and roller skates
make ideal presents for the young
folk. Hundreds Of thousands of pairs
of skates are sold annually just prior
TO the holidays. Roller skates are
sold everywhere, but ice skates pre-
dominate, of course, where ice is 10
be found for periods out of doors or
in ice skating Kinks. Many cities that
do not have more than one or two
days ice skating yearly have ice
skating Kinks and attract thousands of
persons daily.
"The users of both ice and roller
skates have multiplied. For every ice
skater we had ten years ago there are
ten today, and the same is true of
roller skating. This comes through
intelligent premonition. The Winch
ester organization got in touch with
municipal authorities and showed
them how through the Community
Service and other organizations of a
like character, roller skating events
could be conducted on the paved
streets in their cities. It also devel-
oped plans showing how ice skating
Kinks could be made on vacant lots,
city parks and other places with just
a few hours work and at a slight cost.
II is my understanding that dozens of
cities have conducted roller skating
carnivals for school boys and girls,
and in some instances for the older
people. while no less than 400 cities
have constructed municipal skating

in the swamp at Reega last week by
a party of local hunters. An investi-

officials to clear up the mystery OF

a tree limb many months ago. Beside
$1.25 in money and a dilapidated note
book, no other means of Identification
existed about the place where the
