Cold Winds Braved
By Local Swimmers
For Sake of Sport

Miss Virginia Ashe and Joe Per
son, expert swimmers on the Allan
ia Athletic club team, have planned
Il program for themselves for the
winter months that probably will not
win many followers, even among the
lovers of aquatic sports.
They plan to swim each Sunday
in East Lake, the weather man to
the contrary, and they hope their
enthusiasm will be a degree warmer
than the chilly blasts which chase
across the lake during the winter
months. They dived in Sunday morn
ing and swan vigorously for several
minutes before a group of admiring
Onlookers.
( Miss Ashe holds several champion
ships in the Womens field and she
has been invited to try out for the
next Olympic games, while Mr.. Per
son is an expert diver and swim
mer. Both figured prominently last
summer in the rescue of several per-
sons who fell into East Lake from
carnival raft, when two persons
were drowned

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-New
York paid it's final tribute to the
memory of Warren G. Harding to-
day.
Cathedral, church, synagogue,
chapel and mission house were
filled; the presses of Manhattan's
great dailies were stilled: beaches
and amusement resorts were closed,
and clergymen, conducting me-
mortal services, held the stages of
Broadway theaters.

jangle of the surface car bells were
ordered stilled for two minutes. At
Grand Central and Pennsylvania
stations buglers sounded taps
and all traffic came to five

NO FAVORITES IN LONG LINE.

There was no caste, rank, favorites in that
long line which extended from the big maple tree in
front of his fathers house. clear down Center street
to the now empty Office, six blocks away, where in
other and happier years, Warren G. Harding used
to sit at his desk making a newspaper and helping
to make town.
They filed sorrowfully past his bier today as they
came, the high black hat with the battered straw
the uster of silk with the faded calico. The man in
the casket with his lips slightly parted in smile
would have liked that. He was constantly preaching
for the abolition of class and class consciousness in
America. Today there was only one class filing past
his fag-draped bier-a class of sorrowful, reveren
tial and often fearful people.
Only once in the hours of the forenoon did the
soldiers hold up the line for favored company.
That was when those of the Marion Star, who had
