AMERICAN TEAM SAILS MONDAY Army Of Athletes Start
 Voyage For France
 And Olympics

NEW YORK, June 16.-Like a blooming sea-going conservatory, the steamship America is nodding over the gentle swells of the North Atlantic bound for Europe with the flower of Americas athletes who will run, jump, swim, vault and nonchalantly toss large missiles through the romantic at mosphere of France in the Olympic game of 1924.
 Financial worries were checked with the Purser as the chartered ferry of the Olympic team slid backward from her pier into the stream Monday with the 282 young men and women lining her rails, and swung her bow in the di- rection of Europe to carry the chal- lenge of the United States in the old competitions on~ the wonder side. The Olympic committees troubles about the fund to pay for the ships hire were no concern of the athletes themselves. The men of the team wore neither uniform attire nor distinguished shield which will gleam on the bosoms of their athletic shirts but the 19 girls. of the swimming team were recognizable by their trim black, tailored uniform suits and the shield of red. white and blue.
 Thousands See Them
 Thousands of rooters, most of them personal friends of the athletes, were on the dock at Hoboken to cheer them on their getaway and the air was vibrant with their shouts as the last line was cast off and the water began to show between the America's steel side and the billings of the pier. The tugs which were nudging the ship into the stream whooped it up with their sirens and the captain of the America on the high bridge of his command, entered the spirit of the moment by yanking his whistle for a long blast which showered the athletes with misty spray.
 Training On Board
 There will be training facilities on board the America, including a resilient track for the runners, all sorts of gymnastic gear for the muscle-grind- CTS, and tumbling mats for the boxers.
 The track and field stars, fresh from their triumphs in the final tryouts at Boston were in the majority. There were 120 of them
 Col. Robert NJ. Thompson, president of. the American Olympic association, gave his promise that this contingent of athletes at least would win gallantly or lose courageously and would even tually force the French crowds to &C., knowledge them as sportsmen. He did not imply that the American rugby team which was jeered and insulted, the skiing team and the skaters, all of whom had troubles with the French crowds or French officials were at fault in those unpleasant occurrences. He just said that this army of his would make the French enthusiastic about American athletes in defeat ol victory and ventured a guarded predic ton that the Stars and Stripes would flutter from the top of the pole when the meet has been run.

But When Not Chewing Jayanese
 Women Are Good To Look Upon
 The country folk (Of Java) them selves, conscious of their ornate setting, were dressed for the part. A group of those whomen, moving in a musical com edy, would give a theatrical manager complete assurance in the matter of his box office receipts.
 They are so modest and polite that they never stare. at a stranger; though with such figures, eyes, and coloring, I doubt whether he would object greatly if they did. Their manners are perfect, except that most of them chew betei nut, and casually make railway plat forms, and footpaths distressing with red maculations.
 It is shocking to see a beautiful woman laugh, when her opened mouth looks as though savage blow had just seriously wounded it.-H. M. Tomlin- son in Harper's Magazine.
