to take active interest in athletics
In many instances the military au.
thorities made it an everyday prac.
| tlce to compel the soldiers to in.
dulge in sports events for at least
an hour a day and with the assist.
ance OF the American athletic in
! structors, much of the raw material
soon proved to be adept and in
many cases the pupils presented ex.
cellent competition against their
| teachers. The writer recalls a game
OF volley ball which was unknown
throughout Europe before the war
which was played during an athletic
meet sponsored by the Americans
and attended by thousands. The
game was played as an additional
feature to the regular track and
field events. The American instruc-
tors formed one team and their op-
ponents were picked from the
ranks. The competition proved 50
strong that the American team
had to resort to super human pow
er in order to avert a disastrous
defeat. All through the game the
foreign element kept ahead In the
scoring of points and it was not
until the last few minutes of play
that the American players managed
to creep up on their opponents and
score the necessary p points.
Tho Il ;nt ,J,
the World War We're entirely given
Up to the development of the SOL
dier. but beginning with the Fall Of
1920. the American missions turned
much OF their interests to the
civilian organizations and the
schools, the chief object being to
introduce athletics to the children
and to stimulate interest among
them. The response was astounding.
Grounds previously used for picnics
and outings became the seat Of
much athletic activity and COMPETE
ton and it was a real pleasure to
see crowds of boys and girls flock
TO these places hours before the ar
rival of the instructors, eagerly
waiting for the games to begin.
These boys and girls are now fast
approaching the age when they can
serve their countries as strong COM
petitors in international games and
there can be no question but that
some of these youngsters, who but
few years ago had little concep-
ton of track and field events, WI
prove to be fair contenders for
athletic laurels at the next Olympic
games in 1882.
Americans cannot very will ig-
more European competition any
longer and it is the heighth of alb
surdi'y for anyone to criticize the
comparatively poor showing of
American athletics during the AM
sterdam games. They did we'll, but
Europeans showed them that their
lessons during the war and after
did not 60 amiss. The America MS
can be thankful for such strong
competition for themselves alone,
This years Olympics was a case of
the pupil showing up the teacher in
large measure.

FREIGHT RATES CAUSE
MATHEMATICAL POSER
New Method Ordered by Interstate
Commerce Commission To Clear
Up Tansle

Washington, Aug. is. R-Rail-
road freight rate schedules long
have been known to present almost
fantastic complication for the I'M
skilled student, but the government:
has an agency equal TO the task of
clearing their worst tangle.
An Interstate Commerce commits
sion decision ordered carriers in
the western half of the country to
alter their existing method Of fix
ing freight charges on shipments
of fancy live stock, and directed
them to adopt a new method for
the future.
This is the rule which will gov
ern the making of such rates. as
the commission drafted it:
First compute the aggregate
basic value of all the animals in
the carload, then determine this
aggregate value of all the animals
as stated by the shipper in the
livestock contract, then ascertain
the percentage by which the latter
figure exceeds the former, and then
add to the standard or basic rate
per car or per 100 pounds. as the
case may be, > per cent for each
added 80 per cert, or fraction there
of, of such aggregate or standard
basic value"
