Original Olympic Games

The most famous of the four
great national festivals of the
Greeks was the Olympic games.
They were celebrated in the sane.
tuary Of Zeus at Olympia every four
years, but, owing to the fluctua-
lions Of the Greek lunar calendar,
the time varied from the beginning
Of August to the middle of Septem-
Der. Olympia was situated in the
Pisatis, the southeast district Of
Ellis at the junction Of the Cadeus
with the Alpheus. It was never a
town but only a sanctuary with the
buildings connected with the wor-
ship and the games.

Well people go to the Beaches by

they know when it's going to hap

appear on such and such a Beach
at 9:43 Tuesday night. If there is
any change in the Grunions arrival
time, why it will be announced as
soon as we hear from them" And
by golly sure enough at 9:43 on said
night, wave comes in and sure
enough riding it it was old man

everybody was a tackle or half

I got great scheme for universal

rope, with twenty nations in it, to
be run like our forty-eight States
are. Well, here is the scheme;
have them adopt prohibition, and
that will start 'em all arguing over
it so much that it will ge their
minds off war. You cant fight and
argue prohibition. You are useless
for anything else on earth.

IF there has been any trickery

find it out, no matter how old we
are, we want to recall our sigma

void.
Now we don't know that there
has been any trickery Chats
what's worrying us) but if there
has, we (the Senate) want an alibi
in case the whole thing don't turn
out so good, but in case it is found
that we have tricked the other ma
lions and that the treaty is fine

Well we have no monopoly on

says we got the best of it, that
shows they have a sense of humor,
and in Japan they are hollering

legation didn't bring home enough

Pushing the Clouds Away
Duluth Herald)

NDUuUlA cid
The nation is engaged in a serious, determined and
we'll planned effort, under the leadership of President
Hoover, to conquer unemployment and business depres-
sion by the same stroke.
Nation, states, municipalities, industries and individ-
uals the country over are planning work for the jobless,
and the effort is succeeding-slowly at first because or
ganization Is the sloWest though most important part OF
the operation, but presently at a much livelier rate.
Soon a large proportion of those now out of work will
be at work ana drawing pay.
That is important first because it helps these workers
and their families and saves them from charity.
It is important next, though this is too vital to be Sec
ond, because it will stimulate buying and perhaps even
give business the fillip it needs to get it back into
its full stride.
For that, two things are needed: first, employment
for the jcbless so they will have something to buy 18th;
second, courage for these who have jobs SO that they will
spend as they should and not freeze their money up in
savings banks.
The situation is most promising, therefore, for be-
sides the attack on unemployment, the slow consumption
of the past year has diminished stocks so that buying
and manufacture presently will be absolutely necessary.
Soon the acute problem of unemployment will be solved,
and then it will be necessary not to forget that there also
is a chronic problem. caused by improved industrial
processes. that can only be met by some such method as
the five-day working week.

clustering together-although, to be sure, there are sign:
now Of a trend in the opposite direction. There are Jobs
in the cities, and the chances for wealth and fame. But
you might amuse yourself some day by wondering if il
is not simply mans gregarious nature and his fear Of
loneliness that are chiefly responsible.
The pioneers who settled the wilderness we're not
moved by that conpulsion, as they were under other
more powerful conpulsions. But their grandchildren
felt it in all its force. There were many, many people
who found life on farms and in remote country hamlets
very lonely.
So our cities are swollen; and, being swollen, are unfit
places for many of their inhabitants to live. And a lot
of us, wondering how on earth this serenity that Mr.
Towne speaks of can ever be come by in a big city, are
casting the same wistful glances over our shoulders that
MI. Towne is casting.
Sooner or later, probably, there will be a change. The
automobile has helped many people to get at least to
the outskirts of metropolitan congestion. Perhaps, as
time goes on, it will do more. We can hope SO, at any
rate. After a city gets about so big it becomes 30 pei
cent an abomination.

Moving to the Cities

Every year a larger percentage OF the American popu-
lace lives in cities. With ever embarrassing rapidly. ours
is becoming an urban civilization. But Lots wife seems
to have a good many counterparts- among us, ncverthe-
less. In the great march to the cities there are many
who turn their heads for a regretful look backwards.
The latest to take this wistful backward glance Is
Charles Hanson Towne, the well-known editor and writer.
In the current issue of Harpers Bazaar. MI. Towne
asks dolefully:
Why do we fret and hive in our cities when we might
be ~partakers of serenity? It is one of the human myster-
les; and man Is forever excusing himself by CRYING out
that he cannot get away. Yet. If he knew how he would
be renewed, not only physically but spiritually. he would
seek these accessible paths. away from the hum and dis
cord Of hts average days."
This sort Of question. as cities grow larger and larger
and noise and congestion and confusion become more
and more uncomfortable, is probably going to be heard
oftener and oftener. The average human being is not
quite as dumb as some people have suspected; and the
average human being is rapidly discovering that life In
. big city is not all that it might be.
There are, of course, exceedingly powerful economic in
fuenccs to create large cities. Factories have a way Of
