PLANS
SETTLED

BARCELONA, Spain, April 90
All issues in dispute before the
Olympic games congress here, in
cluding the thorny one of women's S
participation in the 1882 Olympic
games at Los Angeles, have been
decided upon, William M. Gar
land, American representative, in,
formed international News Ser
vice today.
"The program of events call
ing for women athletes partici-
patton in certain track and
field events is being unani-
mousIy accepted" Garland said.
"Women will participate in the
SOO-meter relay race, the 80.
meter hurdles, 1OO-meter sprint,
the discus and javelin throw,
the high jump and fencing.
"The Olympic committee
eliminated the SOO-meter race
from the wOmen'S program be-
cause it was considered too
strenuous an event for women.
"The only decision still pend
ing before the congress is
where to hold the next OIym-
pic games in 1885,"
The decision to permit women
to participate in track and fielo
events at the Los Angeles games
represents a victory for the Inter
national Federation of Amateur
Athletics, as the program being
adopted is virtually that spon
sored by this body.
Previously it had been reported
that the Olympic committee had
decided to limit women's participa'
ton in the events at Los Angeles
to tennis and yachting.

Dropped Fly Ball

In 1913 Fred Snodgrass drop
ped a fly ball in center field
for the New York Giants that
cost them the pennant in their
series with the Athletics. In
1917 Heinie Zimmerman tried
to out-run one of the best base
runners the game has ever
known. Eddie Trowbridge Col
Inns, when the latter was still
a member of the Chicago White
Sox.
Instead Of throwing to the
catcher. Zimmerman thought
he could sneak up on Collins
and tag him between third and
home, but the best he could
do was to chase the fleet-footed
Collins across the plate with
the winning run. the White
Sox winning the series by four
games to two.
And lest we forget, there
was the famous instance Of
Fred Merkle forgetting to
touch second base in making
the circuit of the paths, the
oversight being discovered by
the Cubs catcher. Hoffman,
who threw to second and elm
mated Merkle and the Giants
from the National League PEN

Cubs.

through the ball without in any
way restricting the clubhead.
Swing just as you would had
you made a full back-swing.
Your heels should be close to-
gether, toes pointing rather to-
ward the pin. Stand heavily on
your left foot, since there is no
pivoting with quarter-swings.
Swing right into the ball and
through it, and you will find
the method to be far better
than swinging loosely back,
much too far, and then depend
ing on yourself to put just the
right pressure against the ball.
Regulate the pressure with the

MAN HUNT NOW
/ DOG HUNT

Tip, pet pup of Capt. Eugene
Regnier, aide to the Secretary of
State, is we'll bred police dog
but not so hot as a detective.
Because, like the correspondent
school sleuth, he started out to
get his man" and got lost him
self.
Young For Work
But Tip is only five months
old, so there's some excuse. Be-
sides, it was devotion to his mas
ter that urged him to go sleuth-
ing.
Captain Regnier was ill for
several days, and Tip got the
idea that he was missing. So
Tip went out into the great world
to find him. Now Captain Reg
nier is trying to find Tip.
Missed BY Pals
The police puppy was guest
at Secretary Stimson's estate,
Woodley, until he promoted him
self to be a detective. It will
make the captain very happy if
someone will return him to Wood
ley or notify Tips master at
Wardman Park.
His return will restore sun
shine to Old Soak, the Secre,
tary's, parrot, and Mr.. Bones,
Captain Regnier's famous goat,

CHURCH TENETS
ARE DISCUSSED

A lecture entitled "An Outline
of Christian Science" was de-
livered in First Church of Christ,
Scientist, by Peter V. Ross, C. S.
B., of San Francisco, Calf.
Ross is a member of the board
of lectureship of the Mother
Church, the First church of
Christ, Scientist in Boston, Mass.
He was introduced by Wilbur
E. Yocum, first reader of First
Church under whose auspices the
lecture was given. The lecturer
said in part:
Her fundamental PROPOSE
tion that God is mind or spirit,
and therefore that the earth
with it's fuIIness is mental and
spiritual, has the support of
both reason and revelation.
"The material senses and
the human mind, with their
dull, limited vision, would have
us believe that we are ma
terial mOrtalS inhabiting a ma
terial world.
"Only when we rely upon the
physical senses of touch and
sight do things seem hard and
stationary and man a physical
figure SO many feet in height
and SO many pounds in weight.
This blurred, heavy sense
of things constitutes matter.
Matter, therefore, is not the
substantial reality it appears.
1t is a mistaken concept of
things, and this mistaken con-
cept of things as heavy and
localized disappears as physi-
cal sense yields to spiritual
sense or true vision"

Ing the chase. Once the fugitive flew
into tree and had to be bOmbardet
out Of it, and finally it ran up ole
Theresa street and right through the
fortunately open door of one Of the
poorest cottages, and as father. who
was well in advance. reached the door
way he heard trembling voice from
within say "Sure, the saints have sent
it,"
That ended the chase, and We
tramped back and father went ovel
to Frauenfelder's and bought a tur
key Of the old-fashioned sort without
fuss or feathers.
OF course the Thanksgiving dinner
was a feast to be remembered with
both joy and remOrse. There were nc
favors, no special decorations, moth
ing but food and appetites, both served
at noon. Everything on the unwritter
menu was placed on the table at the
beginning of the feast, and the serv'
ice thereafter consisted merely in
carving and passing.
What the Poet Sang.
In this process of diSmantling and
conversion it is recalled that soup was
involved, hash took a prominent part
and bones were denuded. The stuffing
was another interesting survival, and
the seemingly inexhaustible gravy
supply served many purposes
A yellow clipping from the Cleve-
land Herald recalls how the Herald
poet, identity unknown, regarded this
continuity:
There's turkey for breakfast and din
ner and tea,
I fear it is playing the mischief with
me;
For over my coverlid turkeys do walk
I scream out in terror and wake with
a squawk.
My feathers are sprouting,
I'm stretching my neck;
I talk with q gobble and at my food
peck.
If it should last longer each boarder
agrees,
He'll wreck the darn larder and take
to the trees!
So the extinction of the bird went
on until only a bunch of shining bones
remained. It had been five day strug-
gle and hard one, but not morsel
had been wasted. Nobody craved any
more turkey for another year, and the
meat market business began to look
up.
The last seen of the noble fowl
was it's disappearing bones as they
departed in the jaws of a neighbours
dog, who was said to have caches of
bones all over the neighborhood.-

LOW GRADE SPUDS

The lowly spud may have a place

livestock specialist at the University
Farm in st. Paul. Second grade pc.
tatoes, very low priced throughout the
potato growing areas of Minnesota
may be used as feed for hogs and
also in limited amounts for cattle
sheep and horses as a substitute for
grain says Mr.. Morris.
For pigs, the potatoes should be
boiled, mixed with the grain and fed
supplement needs to be fed with this
Experiments indicate that it takes
about 420 pounds of potatoes, fed after
cooking, to equal 100 pounds of corn
or barley. For the best results in
swine feeding, the proportion of po-
tatOes in the ration should not be
greater than pounds to one of con-
centrates. Potatoes are worth only
about two-thirds as much when fed
raw as when cooked.
Potatoes may furnish half of the
dry matter in the ration for cattle
and sheep, and one-fourth for horses.
Dairy cows should not receive more
than about 35 pounds per day as
larger amounts may impair the quail
ty of butter produced. For fattening
sheep, from to 3 pounds daily may
be fed with the grain. For cattle and
sheep feeding, the potatoes should be
chopped and mixed with the grain.
For cattle and sheep, potatoes
should be fed raw and may be fed raw
to hogs, particularly brood sows, if
time and labor cannot be spared for
cooking.
