COLLEGE OARSMEN LIVE THE LONGEST
Coach CalloW Declares Athletes
 in Other Fields Die Sooner

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 2S-An old be- lief that college rowing causes heart strain and damages the future health has been attacked by Russ R. Callow coach of the University of Washing ton crews that have won the inter- collegiate championship at Pough- keepsie, N. r., the last two years.
 "Rowing," Mir. Callow said, with proper conditioning and training of men, is a great upbuilder of the hu- man system and will increase . mans life because the sport embraces all those clements that build up the body and keep 1t fit.
 "Dr. Meylar of Columbia University said, after studying the records of 50 years rowing at Harvard, that oars men lived five years long than any class of men engaged in sport.
 Tt is my thought that oarsmen live longer than devotees of any other of the so-called violent sports for several reasons. Rowing doesn't call for the abuse of the body or make 1t subject to such blows, knocks, bruises and fractures as do boxing, football, wrest- ling, baseball and other major sports.
 Rowing, in the final analysis, does nothing but enlarge the capacity of the lungs fill them with pure air build up the abdominal muscles and all the other muscles in the human frame. It gives to its 6evotees billions of rays of exhiarating, life-preserving sunshine.
 An oarsman improves as he grows older, said MT. Callow. "A university oarsman is good at 20, better at 25 and if I could have crew made up of men around 30, new worlds rec ords would be set.

Seek Third Moon.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-Search TOT third moon or Mars, and a study of the moisture content in the air which may encircle the planet, are being made by scientists here as the planet draws closer to the earth.
 'rhere is . bare chance that we may discover another moon around Mars" said Professor Edwin B. Frost of the University of Chicago, in charge of tho university's Yerkes ob- seryatory at Williams Bay, Wis. He said that about 6:SO o'clock tonight the planet will be closer to the earth than 1t has been for 120 years or will be again before FOOT A. D.
 Mars is already credited with pos sessing two moons, one named Fear, 10 miles in diameter, and the other Dread, 35 miles. both travelling around Mars three times day. he explained.
 Last nights study of the planet through the forty-inch telescope, the largest refracting lens in the world at Yerkes observatory, revealed cap of ice 700 miles in width. This ice field is rapidly shrinking, Professor Frost declared, and withi1 few weeks will have disappeared, and as- tronomers will have better oppor- tunity to observe any vegetation that may grow there. .,
 Mars seem to be an arid planet, Professor Frost said. "One of the things we arc most anxious to do now is verify or discredit our belief that the amount of vapor there is small.
 Tt is perfectly reasonable to be- lieve that there is plant life on Mars possibly a fungus growth. In fact, I am of the opinion that the canals you have heard so much about are nothing more than big strips Of veg citation. AS for life existing on the planet, that Is almost out of the aues- tion. One thing Is certain. If there are any animals there, they must be able to stand extreme heat and cold.
 "The notion of getting signals from there Is ridiculous"

What Europe Is Saying
About America

curing these six weeks of frank con-
hdenceS. That suggestion was that
Europe. by and large, is in a frame
of mind toward America to view
without alarm the prospect OF
struggle between US and japan.
European business would boom. it
was cynically said, just as American
business doomed when the Old World
was bleeding in 1914 1915, 1916 and
1917; and European business is in
sore need of boom. One story that
circulated was to the effect that
Japan received direct encouragement
in certain quarters in Europe mot to
take Americas insult lying down"
and that it was Ramsay Macdonald,
chiefly among others, who frowned
effectively on such an infiammatory
project
Europe is watching the pending
American presidential contest with
such interest as her preoccupation
with her own affairs permits 1t is
only the optimiSts who believe that
however the election results, Ameri-
can idealism and altruism eventually
will assert themselves, and that
America, realizing her obligations as
a member of the family of nations,
some day will be back in Europe"
The vast majority of Europeans is
persuaded we have gone home, to stay
at home. They think we have saved
Europe for the last time. They re-
veal a correspondingly healthy incli-
nation to concentrate on saving them
selves in future But meantime the
history books they write, when they
deal with events of this troublous day
and hour, are not likely to overflow
with superlative references to the
