PADDOCK CENTRAL
FIGURE IN BIG TEST
To Race Borah, Wykoff, Et
al, in Widely BaIIyhooed
Trial for 0Iympics.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, June 12-Naturally
enough, in view of all sorts Of pub
licity which has either originated
naturally or been artificially created,
that race among West Coast sprinters-
Paddock, Borah, Wykoff, ct alias de-
veloped significance as 'the sprint of
the century" 1t will take place next
Saturday at Los Angeles as the feature
of the Olympic trials of the Southern
Pacific A. A. u, and nothing save a
climatic foot ball game ever has created
greater local interest.
Publicity has been cumulative, be-
gining with the uncertainty as 10
whether Paddock would return to Cali
fornia from the East to participate in
the district preliminary at Los Angeles
or would qualify for the Olympic event
in some Eastern meeting
When finally ne did go back to the
coast O. controversy arose between him
and President Weaver of the Southern
Pacific A. A. u. which. among other

things. involved a point OF veracitv as
between the two men. Weaver said that
PADDOCK had definitely promised he
would run in the June Is meet, and the
runner said he had made no such
promise. 1t would seem that the fact
that in the course of this debate Pad
dock already had returned from the
East and was training for the race In
the Los Angeles coliseum would have
robbed the issue Of any special point.
But 1t did not seem to.
When finally it seemed as though the
sprinter and the official had reached a
stage Of rancor where they would be
enemies for life, the newspapers one
morning printed picture of them arm
in arm, smiling sweetly into each others
face
With peace thus signalized, Paddock
demanded that the projected race be
heightened from a hundred yards to a
hundred meters. He bulwarked his re-
quest with the statement that the short
dash at the Olympic finals at Cam
bridge and at Amsterdam will be over
a hundred-meter course.
He did not say that this distance
ought TO give him a certain advantage
over Borah, Wykoff, Draper and Lom-
bardi and maybe 1t wont, although the
fact Is that he has had more experience
in the hundred-meter than his rivals
The chances are that the point he has
made will be we'll taken and that the
longer distance will be employed He
meyer was in better shape than right
now.

Now comes the need Of legislation for

Gated in close connection with the now

The District must have more space. 1t

reached that the best plan is to pro-
vide ample construction area in another
part OF the city. and a site has been
tentatively settled upon, on the north
side of Pennsylvania avenue between
Third and Sixth streets. There. in an
area large enough to accommodate a
group adequate for the present and fu-

adopted quickly, and the steps taken at
the present session for the accomplish
ment Of this work. Otherwise there will

Postal Partnership.

In estimating the service rendered
to the public by the postal organiza-
ton of the country. especially at the
time when the volume Of mail matte,
is magnified many fold. 1t is we'll &c
remember that the efficiency OF the
mails Is dependent to a great degree
upon the cooperation of the mall
sending public. The postal business
Is really a partnership between the
distributors and the people who write
letters and sene packages. The latter
must do their part. not only by early
posting in times Of unusual pressure
such as the pre-holiday season. but
by careful addressing at all times. A
very large percentage Of the so-called
mis-, 'kes ard errors Of the Postal Serv-
ice is due to inaccuracies and illegi-
bilities in the marking OF mail matter
Postal employees perform some Won
derful feats of deciphering and deduc-
ton in the handling of badly addressed
mail. but they cannot do the impos-
sible. They cannot supply missing
words. or names, or numbers. They
cannot read the minds OF those who
drop into the boxes letters or cards
that are addressed TO the wrong cities
II all mail matter were carefully and
accurately addressed the number O.
mistakes in delivery would be reduced
TO small minimum, practically neg
ligible. II every letter were addressed
in legible script or print. as we'll as
accurately, the chances of perfect de-
livery would be practically one hundred
per cent.
The idea Of postal partnership can
not be too strongly impressed upon the
mind Of the mail-using public. While
the postman is after all simply a mes
senger, he must have the right direc-
tons or he cannot be expected to dis
charge his errand satisfactorily. The
business man who sends his office boy
out with a wrongly addressed note
cannot blame the boy if he fails to
make a perfect delivery. He should
regard the mail carrier in the same
light and take especial pains to give
him accurate directions.

The gentleman referred to wore

He had a muffler peeping out at the
collar, but at that point his apparel
suddenly ceased.
Hat he had none.
This was what aroused the ire OF the
person whose remark Is quoted above
To go hatless In warm weather Is one
thing. he seemed to think, but to walk
bareheaded when the thermometer
points to IL degrees above zero Is de-
cidedly another.
Yet we happen to know that this
same irritated gentleman went home
that evening, and so to bed with the
covers clear up to his chin and with
his uncovered head sticking out In the
cold of his open sleeping porch!
Standing fully clad with the head
without covering struck him as absurd
but sleeping with plenty of covers with
the head entirely exposed seemed per-
fectly all right to him.

As a matter of cold fact, when a man
is walking he is working up bodily heat
whereas when he Is sleeping he is
merely retaining. with the aid Of the
covers, such heat as his body gives of

the prevailing fashion of hatless males

mer or while abed at any time of the
year.
There are. OF course. various persons
who dress for bed as II going on an
