This year, despite the general
countrywide improvement shown
by the girls in the art Of hopping
the miniature naples, Queen Lor-
raine stands farther above her
rivals than ever before. No one
is close to her.
However, the scramble for the
runner-up position among the
local talent is wide open. At the
risk of having our ears burn from
now until the middle of October
and beyond, we are going to try
to rate nine more of the girls in

It's a task fraught with many
difficulties and ticklish decisions,
so please be tolerant.

Evelyn Ream, Catherine Quig-

that very little room is allowed
to choose one above the other.
However, as the Ladies District
League, swinging over a circuit

80 weeks, provides the keenest
kind Of test, the young lady who
finished in runner-up honorS
should be given much considera-
ton.

P R D LACROSSE
PROVES PAYING
PROPOSITION
BY HARRY COSTELLO

intercollegiate and other ath-
letic establishments alive to the
sports situation as a whole, and
to the game Of lacrosse in par
ticular, are beginning to sit up
and take notice.
Two conditions in the country
appear unusually interesting.
The first is the New York city
status of a game known as box
lacrosse. The second is the
Maryland status Of the outdoor
brand Of the old Indian pastime.
Last night, in Madison Square
Garden, two teams of seven men
each, one representing Montreal
and the other Toronto, intro
duced box lacrosse, on "box"
or field 1875 feet by IS feet. The
contest proved exciting, full of
action, rough and altogether at
tractive to a large crowd Of New
Yorkers. The forecast is made
that New York will have team
in the professional box lacrosse
league next season.
Throughout last season the In
ternational Professional Lacrosse
League in Canada proved that
the game is a paying PROPOSE
ton. Last night proof was given
that as soon as American crowds
master various fundamentals Of
the game this country, too, will
accept the game.
Retains All Features
Box lacrosse retains, it is
claimed, all the salient features
which belong to the regulation
game of field lacrosse, and
changes in the number of con-
testants to a team, and the size
Of the playing field, seem to have
succeeded in concentrating the
action Of the contest for the bene-
fit of spectators.
Over in Maryland the populace
is all agog over the coming con-
flict between the two strongest
teams in America, University Of
Maryland and Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. The Maryland Hopkins
battle will probably attract a
crowd of football proportions,
something football never ex-
pected.
incidentally, out at the Uni
versity of Maryland, which last
season had an unusually fine
football record, the students pre-
fer lacrosse to football. They
voted lacrosse their favorite sport.
This spring, Coach Curly Byrd
could not drum up enough in
terest in football to make spring
practice a success. Lacrosse
played an important part in Gre
ating footballs plight.
Five Stand Out
The five outstanding lacrosse
teams of the country are in
Maryland. At the top of the
heap are Hopkins and Maryland,
with Navy, st. Johns of Annap-
oils, and the Mt. Washington
Club team completing the quin-
tet. Navy fell before Mt. Wash
ington. st. Johns went down
before Maryland. Mt. Washing
ton succumbed to Hopkins, after
the latter had defeated West
Point, probably the best team Of
the nation, outside the Old Line
state.
At the moment, nearly all per-
sons are agreed that either
Maryland or John Hopkins will
represent the United States in
the Olympic Games. AS a result,
interest runs high in the coming
contest between the two.
The big point, however, seems
to be that lacrosse, which has
been more or less dormant for
these past 80 years, is proving
attractive as a sport, amateur and
prof
Football must look to its
laurelS, if Maryland furnishes
any criterion.

NEW YORK, Feb. IT, P)-On the roof of the world" in Indian Tibet, where British medical rec ords indicate cancer does not now exist the Roerich Museum of New York is starting a unique biological experiment..
 There is a mystery about this Tibetan cancer-free district. An. cient books show that cancer once flourished there, and that it was fought with juices of plants and herbs.
 These books never have been translated by moderns and the Roerich experiment will combine an expert translation with the lat est scientific methods of studying the plants to check against the lost lore.
 Il one indisputable respect these Tfbetan plants are different from anything else. They are giants Visitors saw "forget-me-nots the size of pennies. royal blue poppies, rhododendrons as large as trees, moses nearly the size of marsh grasses
 There is one root given to child ren to improve their memories. That's what the Tibetans say about it. This may mean that memory works better under some Stimulant in the root, or that there is a blood change.
 The books Dr. Roarich has gath cred describe in great detail a dis ease not named but precisely like cancer. There are pages of deScrip- tionS and other page on page Of ad- vice how to treat the trouble with various plant remedies.

UNDAUNTED BY LATEST ESCAPE FROM DEATH
 STRONG PLANS ANEW

Whatever happens is perhaps for the best. Allah be praised!"
 Thus does sturdy, strong-hearted Peter Strong, veteran mining man of Indian, voice his philosophy of life.
 Bearing scars from numerous in juries, the most recent about two years ago when a premature eX- plosion blew out an eye and left purple facial markings, the tough old pioneer returned home Monday after replenishing the larder fol- lowing another miraculous escape from death.

 Though the bed was demolished, as well as other furniture and the lone door, Pete did not sustain even a scratch. Practically unclothed, the oldtimer realized though he had marvelously escaped from be- ing buried alive, danger still hov- cred owing to the freezing temper ature. Frantically he dug about for his clothing but to no avail. But he did find a small piece of canvas, so with that wrapped about, he barefooted his way through the heavy drifts of last Sunday three quarters of mile to his nearest neighbors, a section crew. Aside from two fingers being nipped, the fine old gentleman is none the worse from his latest epi sode with Dame Nature. He will build anew; but this time he will give nounatin slopes ample clear ance.
