HARRINGTON MAKES
 NEW WORLD MARK
New Stars Rise to Great Heights
 at MilIrOSe A. A. Meet

New York. Feb. 3 Pl-New stars gleamed today in the indoor track Armament in the places of old fav- ortes.
 Heading the list was Paul Har- rington. long-legged westerner now competing for the Boston A. A. who lifted his slim body and streaming blonde thatch to new indoor world record heights in the pole vault at the classic Millrose A. A. track and field games in Madison Square Gar den last night.
 The achievement of the former Notre Dame star was all the more brilliant in that it was accomplished after announcement had been made that Nelson Sherrill's old record of 13 feet had been exceeded 5-S of an inch by Harrington's final leap.
 Hardly had the cheers of 15,o00 spectators died. however, when 8 re- check showed the bar an inch short Of a new mark. Then with stand ards properly set at 13 feet 5-S inches, Harrington scared over the bar to a new world record Sherrill, jumping for the Penn A. C., cleared 12 feet inches.
 The various records of Charley Hoff. who vaulted 13 feet 1 inch at the Millrose games last year and finally 13 feet s 1-4 inches in his best American indoor jump. have never been accepted by the Amateur Athletic Union because of the Nor wegian's ineligibility status.
 Another jumping star was cclipsed when Charles Major, negro high jumper from St, Bonaventure col lege, scissored over 6 feet, 5-S inches, to leave Harold Osborn, world champion, almost six inches behind, The Illinois A. C. star could not lift himself above feet 1 inch Earlier in the evening three of Americas sprint champions fell be- fore the assault of comparative new corners in series of invitation dashes. Ernest Morrill, of Boston university, whipped through the 4O- yard dash preliminary with Frank Husscy of Boston college at his heels to shut out both Loren Murchison, indoor sprint king for the past three years. and Jackson Scholz, Olympic champion at 200 meters.
 Al Miller, of Harvard. then took the measure of Henry Russell, 1926 intercollegiate champion, in the &c., yard dash. with Bob McAllister na- tonal 1oo-yard champion five years ago, a bare qualificr. Miller then completed the parade of new talent by annexing the 50-yard climax in 5 3-5 seconds with Hussey second and McAllister third. The defeat was the first for the flying cop" in his indoor comeback campaign this season.
 Another sensational youngster, Leo Lermond of the Boston A. A. led Owe Anderson. Finnish collegian, to the tape in one of the fastest two miles ever run by an American. The 1 9-year-old Boston youth stepped the distance in minutes and IS 3-5 seconds. racing at clip that forced Philip Osif, siX-mile champion from Haskell Indian institute. Kansas, to retire a lap from the finish
 Alan Helffrich, crack middle dis tanco runner, retained his laurels in the Mllrose "600" one of the fea- lures of the night, when he led fast field from the start to win the trophy for the fifth straight year. Lloyd Hahn, of the Boston A. A. easily triumphed in the Rodman Wanamaker mile, winning in

PEP MEETINGS NC.
Scientific Study Shows Last Minute,
 Exhortations More Harmful Than
Good.

Chicago, Feb. LR The pep" meeting before the big game and the last minute exhorting of the team by the coach have come to be an ac- cepted and colorful part of college and prep school athletics, but a scientific study indicates that such emotional efforts do more harm than good.
 Nervous stimulation before game actually so impairs the mental and physical abilities of the indi- vidual athletes, according to the investigation just completed here, that the teams efficiency is con- siderably reduced.
 Measurements of heart action dur ing periods before and after con- tests convinced investigators for the South Park board that such ex- hortations or any other nervous stimulations are positively harmful.
 With very few exceptions" they reported, the team which average a low pulse rate before the game started was successful

Soft Looking Lips.

Keep your lips soft. Lips that get
hard and crack are never nice looking;
eventually they will grow thick and
ugly. Whether the chapping is due
to cold winds or biting or sucking. it
can be cured by keeping the lips
smeared with white cold cream.
A good ordinary preventive is a
white cold cream lipstick, which hap
pens to be the cheapest lipstick you
can buy. 1t is nothing but an extra
thick cream, with a very pleasant
taste, that comes in q small metal
tube. The price is about 10 to % cents
each and one of them lasts a Winter.
They come also in a faint pink; SO
faint that the color will not come
off on handkerchiefs or table napkins.
so faint they could not he considered
makeup at all. These may be better
for very pale lips, though personally
| don't think there is much in it. The
price is the same.
Lipsticks only begin to he costly
when they have enough red to tint
the lips. And then / object to their
use. Not on moral grounds. merely
aesthetic ones. If the color would
stay. it would be all right, but the
color always comes off in patches and
the mouth looks like caricature, very
badly done.
If the lips are badly cracked. I'd
advise keeping them covered with
boracic ointment when possible. for
this is antiseptic and very healing
An obstinate crack may have to be
cured by touching it with nitrate Of
silver, but as this is a powerful
caustic, I'd strongly suggest you get
your doctor to do it for you. Boracic
ointment will cure blisters on the lips
due to colds or fevers, Ulcers inside
the mouth, which come from bad teeth
or Indigestion, are cured by rinsing

| But he had been disappointed. In.
stead of his being permitted to mount
/ the stairs to her dressing room, she
| had come running down the stairs to
| him. She explained hurriedly that she
| shared dressing room with two other
girls
And so he had waited in a iraughty
| alley while she dressed. Then he had
| taken her out TO supper.
| But in spite of her looks, Tony had
found her little dull,
Instead of listening to him, she
wanted to talk about herself. 1t
| wouldn't have been so bad if she had
had anything interesting to say, but
he was much too spoiled to listen to
4 woman rave on and on about
nothing.
Nevertheless, this little affair did
preoccupy him during Jill's first days
in the office and it wasn't until John
Adams told him that he was making
her his private secretary. that Tony
came back to his original interest in
her.
John was quite simple about it.
II haven't been satisfied with Miss
Norris for some time; you know that
because I've spoken to YOU about it,
She will do very well in the outer
office. but Miss Anderson has presence
and brains"
There was nothing for Tony to do
but accept the situation, but it made
him furious, for all that, He had
intended to do that very thing himself
when he got around to il. But he had
&ated to transfer Miss Marsh TO the
o1ter office. He knew only too well

he was soft-hearted.
Now she followed him about with
big. cow-like eyes that were filled with
reproach. lie had an idea that Miss
Anderson might be different and now
John. the old stick, had beaten him
at his own game.
oh, well, what was a woman more
or less? The woods were full of them.
Besides, if Miss Anderson were at all
the type he had thought she was. she
would never he interested in old John.
And then. as it happened, he saw
John and Jill leave the office together.
1t was the night John had asked her
to have dinner with himself and his
mother, but Tony didn't know that.
They were laughing and talking like
old friends. There was nothing of the
employer and employe about them. He
had never seen John so animated. Of
course they were going to have dinner
together.
Jill was wearing tobacco brown
sport hat. soft and rolling. A small
feather of varied colors was stuck
coquettishly in the hatband.
He was sitting at his desk with the
door open. The other girls with the
exception of Miss Marsh had gone
home. 1t piqued him that Jill did not
cast a glance in his direction. She
seemed quite absorbed with her escort.
AS the elevator door changed behind
them, Tony was suddenly impatient.
The work that he had stayed to finish
seemed unimportant
That viii be all, Miss Marsh" he
said evenly.
And yet as he walked up Broadway
few minutes later. swinging his
stick and smoking cigarette, he for.
got all about the incident.
Tony was the typical philanderer
Only something very unusual would
keep and hold him. Only something
very unusual would cause him to
