Why Does America
Win Olympics?
Editorial in the New York Even
ing Post.

ing Post.
The modern Olympic games were
revived in 1896 at Athens. The Am
orleans won the track and field games
with ease, and have repeated their tri-
umphs every four years at each sue
ceeding Olympiad.
For nearly thirty years Europe has
been wondering why on the cinder
track, at the jumping pits, over the
hurdles and in the white circles Am
erican fleetness and power are so
consistently supreme.
The American who is only casually
interested in athletics is also some
times moved to marvel over it.
There is no single answer to it.
Undoubtedly we do take our athletics
mort seriously than any other peo-
pie. We do have the will to win, not
only for the sake Of pure sport but
for the sake of winning. Our athletes
are nine-day heroes and the spirit OF
emulation flames high in the youth
full breast.
And-we start young. There was
a day when track games were found
only in the colleges. Then they came
into the preparatory and high schools.
Now there are grammar school games,
where the youngster runs his fifty
yard dash, throws his "junior javelin,
leaps over lowered hurdle and puts
the eight-pound shot.
From 10000 high and "prep'
schools the promising youngsters go
into hundred big colleges and uni
versities. The eagle eye of a veteran
trainer sorts them out, picking this
lad for the sprints, that for the jumps,
another for the weights or distances.
These athletes become specialists,
trained, coached, their faults correct
ed. They are taught the curious and
amazing technique of some one
event. This technique-the thing
called formulas been mighty fac
tor in making American athletes
supreme.
A veteran athlete and Olympic win
ner contends, however, that America
has one eternal advantage, that OF
climate. The Frenchman and Briton
must train many days in the rain and
mist. So must all the North Eu-
ropeans, with their short summers
and wet skies. Somewhere in Amer
lea the year round the spiked shoes
CLINT in the cinders. In the New
World, athletics are twelve-months'
affair.
Possibly so. This year, anyway,
the Americans are off to lead that
can hardly be headed. Finland, how
ever, is coming up. She is learning
the game. So are the Swedes. Great
Britain is interested in American
training methods. So is Italy. The
forty-fve competing nations begin to
understand the secret of American
supremacy. There may be a time
when we will need our vast popula-
ton, our advantages in climate, our
lore of technique and our great school
athletic system that winnows out and
trains our champions.

WARNS AGAINST RABIES

s The prevalence of rabies in some
of the mid-western states during the
last few months has caused the Min
nesota Livestock Sanitary board to
issue warning to all owners Of live
stock in the state of the danger of
the spread of this disease, especially
in view Of the large number of tour
lists who are coming into the state
and bringing their pet dogs with
them. DR.. c.. E. Cotton, secretary of
the board, states that rabies has ex-
listed quite generally throughout the
eastern states for a period of two
years and that it has recently spread
into Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and ILL
nois. In all these states it has be-
come epidemic.

have good manners. Somebody must

Mercer Head to Seek
Official Designation
For Theology School

MACON, April 2S.-According to
reliable information Dr. Rufus w.
Weaver. president Of Mercer unlNer-
sity. will make a request of the
Southern Baptist convention which
meets in Atlanta the latter part of
May, that the School of Theology at
Mercer. now accorded an equal
standing in academic circles with
standard Summaries, be officially
called the southeastern Theological
Seminary OF Mercer university.
Before the curriculum at Mercer
was put up, there were only two in
of this rank in the south,
these being the Southern Theological
seminary at Louisville and the
Southwestern Theological seminary
at Fort Worth, Texas. Because of
the names given these schols, it was
deemed wise to call the school at
Mercer the southeastern theological
seminary.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

for no woman is more anathema to
men than the human photograph
Even dancing, chief of accomplish
ments in these jazzy days when it is
Of more profit for a woman to have
her brains in her heels than in her
head, is but a passing attraction
while amiability and q sweet nature,
Woman's traditional one best bet
are like a sticking plaster, potent to
mold a man after marriage, but of
small value in Turing him into it.
Undoubtedly charm in its perfec-
ton is a gift of the gods, but hap.
PLY, in these days, when nature
proves a cruel stepmother who is
so mean and stingy that she does
not give us all that is coming to us,
we have learned to circumvent the
lady.
No woman need be a s ugly as God
made her, nor as unattractive as she
was born. Drug store compilations
can put the inherited ones to the
blush, and any girl who is willing
to take the trouble can acquire a
line of lures and graces that will
make any bona fide siren tremble
for her job.
To the girl, then, who wishes to
acquire charm, and who especially
wishes to attract men, I would say,
first, stress your femininity.
I don't mean be namby- pamby and
weepy and dishraggy, without any
backbone. That type of woman has
gone out of fashion as completely
as bustles and hoopskirts No man
now would be bored with the sort
of perfect lady his grandmother was.
But the eternal feminine remains
still the eternal attraction for men,
and the more Womanly woman is,
the gentler, the tenderer, the sweet
err, the more she appeals to men.
If you will notice when a man
speaks of the woman he loves, he
invariably calls her little" no mat
ter if she is six feet high and weighs
200 pounds. What he means is that
she give him the reaction of de.
pending upon him, of looking up to
him, and that in some subtle way
she flatters his vanity by giving
him the sense of masculine superi.
GRITTY.
You never see an aggressive, dou-
ble-fisted woman, who fights her
way like a man, get anywhere. And
in his soul every man adores frills
and furbelows and likes to see wom-
en- doIled up. That is why girls
make such a terrible mistake when
they ape mannish ways, and wear
mannish clothes. When a girl puts
on knickerbOckers she throws her
trump card into the discard.
To the girl who wishes to acquire
charm [ would also whisper this
secret: Make Of yourself mirror in
which other people look upon them
selves. Especially let men see
fIattering reflection of themselves in
your eyes. Can your own personal
vanity. Listen with bated breath
while other people tell you of their
exploits, but never mention your
own.
Enthuse over their cars, their
dogs. Marvel at their adventures.
Sympathize with their disappoint-
ments. Give the glad hand to their
successes, and you will be univer-
sally regarded as a woman of perfect
taste, wonderful insight, profound
judgment. a brilliant talller and
companion Of whom one could never
weary,
1t is the tireless listeners. and not
the endless takers, whom men take
out to dinner.
F'urthermore-but that is another
story we will discuss tomorrow.

Proper Spacing of Cotton in
Georgia,

j. B. D., Eatonton, Ca, writes:
What, in your judgment, is the
best distance for cotton, both in
the row and drill under present 3
conditions on land capable Of
making 1000 to 1000 pounds OF
seed? #
We are inclined to think that ur-
der existing conditions it would be
best to plant cotton in about 8 1-2-
foot rows, and to leave the cotton
plants a hoes width apart in the
drills. Two plants should be left at
each place. This represents much
thicker planting than we formerly
followed, but this plan of procedure
has been found to induce a more
rapid and generous fruiting of the
plants than the old method of proce.
dure. Of course, the sooner we can
mature a part Of the cotton crop,
the better our chances Of making
a satisfactory yield under conditions
of boil weevil infestation. 1t is i'm
portant to choose an early maturing
variety. Plant as soon as weather
conditions are sufficiently settled to
insure rapid termination. Then SO
handle the crop by frequent, shallow
cultivation as to hasten it's maturity.
To this end, a fertilizing formula
containing liberal amount Of phos.
phoric acid will be found of great
benefit. In the early stages Of
growth, we believe the use of a mo-
lasses mixture for the purpose Of
destroying alternating weevils will
be found satisfactory. Later on in
the season after the cotton plant has
attained to a considerable size, it
will be necessary to dust the cotton
in order to protect it from weevil
damage.

the jar for they will expand. Cook
in a vessel on the stove for an hour
then fill the jars and process an

This mixture comes in mighty

brothers, discussing her with the
brutal frankness with which roth
ers approach the subject of a sister,
agreed that she wasn't young, nor
brilliant, and that she was homely,
yet all the men were after her.
Finally one Of the brothers said:
But she's got that damned charm" -
And that was that.
When a woman has that damned
charm she can snap her fingers in
the face of flappers and living pic
lures, and marry as early and as
often as she pleases as is witnessed
by che many fat, pie-faced women

three, or more, hunbands apiece, and
who still have a waiting list in case
anything untoward and fatal should
happen TO the gentleman to whom
they are at present united in the
holy bonds Of matrimony.
But what is this charm, what is
this rabbits foot that some lucky
women carry, and others do not? TO
say that it is L-rsonality is to at
tempt to explain one mystery by an
other mystery, for we do not know
in what personal magnetism con-
sists, or by what power the indi-
vidual draws us, while another re-
pulses us.
We know that it isn't beauty, be-
cause the best lockers among girls
are seldom the most popular. and
men who profess to worship beauty
are generally content TO adore it
from a safe distance, and show no
disposition to marry it. It is noto-
riOus that beauties seldom make
good matches, Nor does charm con-
sist of intelligence. Being a high
brow boOms no womans stock, So
