Universal Service.

Universal Service.
BERLIN, Jan. 1.-The year 1922
established a new record for crime
in Berlin according to statistics
published today. During the year
there was an average of seven street
robberies daily or a total Of more
than 1000 for the year.
There were fewer murders than
in the previous year, but the
murders that did occur were char
acterized by unusual brutality. In
an unprecedented number of cases
the bodies Of the murder victims
were cut into pieces. A particular
ly large percentage of the murders
were family affairs, relatives Of the
murderers being the victims.
Hotel robberies and thefts reached
the high figure of 768 in Berlin, to
which are added 230 thefts in board
ing houses. Never before were
there so many robberies and thefts
of valuables from churches and
museums.
Criminal Officer Riemann declared
that 1922 could be called the year
of pickpockcts." In Berlin tens OF
thousands of such cases were re.
political assassinations.
Symptomatic Of conditions there
was an average of more than three
suicides daily in Berlin, the total
being 200, a new record.

Mr.. Scrugham left Lexington last

Physical Training Experts
Would Bar Public
Exhibitions. 5
BY CORINNE.. RICH,
.UniYersal Service,


NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The present
spectacular exploitation of athletics
and competitive sports for girls
tends to rob the participating girls
of some of their natural femininty.
So Daniel Chase, supervisor I Of
physical training under the State
board of education Of New York anc
president of the Athletic Research
Society told me today.
when teams of girls compete be
fore thes public in any sort OF game
they perform before every and any
body, and necessarily subject them
selves to remarks from the gallery,
he said. That is bound to Fuk
some of the feminine charm away .
Would Bar Rough Sports. ].
at would be better il they played
before only school audiences, where
all the spectators are interested IN
the game rather than la the girls
themselves. 1t Is not well for tht
girl to have somebody yell at her II
the course of a basketball game a
one calls out the names of base
ball players" -
But Mr.. Chase does believe in ath
Hetics for girls. He thinks, however
that they should not tackle men't
games which are not suited to thell
physical constitutions. Such rough
sports as football, pole Vaulting, Ions
distance runs, endurance tests, shot
put, hammer throwing, and high
hurdles, he believes, may do CIR
irreparable injury.
Swimming Best for Girls.
Here are some of the sports he
advocates: Fifty-yard dash, basket
ball, volleyball, running and catch
ing, potato race, flag and shuttle
relays, tennis, golf, captain ball. anG
SWIMMING. q, .-.. .t
"Of them all, swimming is the
BEST" he said. Girls are particu
larly adapted to this sport, being
provided by nature with a layer Of
soft flesh over the bones, which
makes swimming natural and easy
It makes, too, for grace and health
But all sorts Of athletics for girl
would be taken moderately :. ant
adapted to the peculiar .physica
conditions of the participants, h
said, and added:
/ THE. health and characters o
the girls should be kept in minC
always and only those events anC
rules be used which have the ap
prevail of professional trainers. 81
far as possible in schools Their,
should be women directors anc
coaches at the head of girls &C
tiVities.
We ought to proceed slowl,
with encouraging promiscuous ath
letics for girls. Conservatism
should be our keynote, because foI
girls there are not yet any tradi
tons in athletics. Until there are
girls should not appear before tn,
public"
The training of girls physically
should begin in the grade schools
and from the ground up Mr.. Chas,
thinks, so that they may progress.
step by step with the years, a.
they do in their studies.
"The purpose of physical train
ing and athletics Is two-fold," h,
said. THE first is to teach sports
manship and develop character
The second, and the by-product O.
the first, is to give health. Thes,
purposes can be fulfilled just a!
well through carefully chosen ant
fitting games and contests a:

FRIEND RECALLS
MACDONALD
CAREER
Sends Check to Artist Sadly
. Buffeted by
Fate.

From the Heights of Fame to
the Depths of Despair might be
the epitome of the career Of Harold
Macdonald, not many years ago a
famous Washington painter of por-
traits, today an inmate of st. Eliza
beth's. were it not for the fact
that friendship has not yet ceased
to be part of human nature.
Ten or twelve years ago Mac.
donald was one of the most sue
cessful artists in this city and was
kept busy filling commissions which
came from all parts of the country.
He was popular everywhere, but
Fate interfered. Going home one
night he fell on the ice covered
sidewalk and broke his right arm,
which had to be amputated. The
breaking of his arm also broke his
spirit, and Macdonald began to give
up hopes.
Found Down and Out.
Last year Rudolphe de Zapp,
president of the Washington Salon
and United Arts Society, discovered
Macdonald sitting on a bench
in Court House square making
sketches on bits Of ragged paper
with the stump of a pencil The
former master was down and out. "
Thinking that publicity would
rally his friends and bring assist
,ance to Macdonald, The Washing.
ton Times published a story about
the artists bad luck. The result
| justified the effort and today The

letter from an old friend of Mac
donald, enclosing a check for SIS
for a New Year Day remembrance.
Editor, Washington Times:
81 have before me a sheet of
The Times Sunday, December T.
1921, containing the little story and
copies of sketches of Harold Mac.
donald by Rudolph de Zapp."
Refers to His Art.
st left Washington in the spring
of 1915, but the signature of Mac, -
as shown on the main sketch, rests
on several pieces of art on my walls
here in Stamford, he having been q
member of my household when occu,
uping the old Willard homestead al
the corner of Fourteenth and F
, streets northwest.
Mac was all the article describes
in those days; his heart was as big
| as his talent. Had it been otherwise
he no doubt today Gf still aliveJ
would have to accept no pity.
Much of MacDonald's work will
live for generations, some of his
portrait work being, believe, class
| ed with the best, notably an original
and several copies of the Rev Bishor
Mckay Smith, George B. Cortelyou
secretary to President Mckinley; and
he was working on a portrait OF
Archie Butt at the time he was lost
at sea.

the millions each year, and where
wild fruits grow in quantities with
out any care, there is not farm in
the state without these things
DR.. Coulter was obliged 10 reply
by saying that according to a very
accurate canvass made during the
first three months of 1920, many
farmers in the state were without
meat or dairy animals or gardens.
The policy of North Dakota farmers
has been to follow the commercial
small grain farming system, depend
ing upon fair yields and fair prices
for the money with which to buy the
family supplies. There are three
combinations which work. CD If
the farmer has an average crop and
can get average prices he can get
along; CO If he has a poor crop and
big prices he can get along; and CD
If he has big crop and low ptlces
he can get along. But unfortunately
during the last five years we have
had only one good wheat crop ane
; four very poor ones, taking the
state as a whole, and during this
entire period we have had poor
prices. This fully explains The
situation (which now exists.
