Riley Feared on Olympic Mat
Northwestern Foot Ball Star Is Lkened to Newly
Captured Bengal Tiger.

stars. The United States will have
powerful wrestling team in the
Olympics, but none more powerful,
skillful or savage than Jack Riley
of Northwestern University.
For three years the 225-pound
Riley was one Of the greatest
tackles in foot ball and last year
won All-America rating on numer-
GUS selections. His bushy red hair
was the orifame of the Northwest
ern attack and over his three-year
span he seldom was outplayed. Notre
Dame. Purdue, Ohio and other
Purple opponents usually rated MIN
as one of their greatest foes.
Riley went in for wrestling as a
pleasant way to pass idle hours
during the Winter months. Under
the coaching of Orion Stuteville he
developed rapidly, having plenty OF
speed as well as strength. A year
ago he came to the top to win the
national intercollegiate wrestling
championship and successfully oe-
Tended it last Winter.
In the recent wrestling trials for
the United States Olympic team,
Riley was like a new caught Bengal
tiger in the ring. He sent. one op,,
ponent out with a fractured leg ana
in his final bout he threw his op-
ponent in les sthan two minutes.
The Northwestern alumnus easily Is
one of the finest college wreStlers
ever developed and coaches who saw
him in action in Columbus predict
he will toss his way through the
Olympic games in fine fashion.
Riley is besieged with offers to
play professional foot ball and turn
professional in wrestling after the
Olympic games. But to date ne mas
shelved all propositions 10 devote
himself to the task OF winning points
for your Uncle Samuel and prove to
our European brethren that wrestling
is a game they play well on both
sides of the Atlantic.

r OS ANGELES, August 2.-The
two fastest short dash men in
the world, Eddie Tolan and
Ralph Metcalfe, took a half
hour to traverse 200 yards of Olym-
pic village streets after finishing one,
two, in the 100-meter finals.
Congratulations in several dozen
languages, including sign, greeted
the Negro sprinters. Autograph
seekers from the foreign legion OF
athletes assailed them.
"Felicitaciones," spoke a member
of the Argentina team. 1t was eVi-

of saying thank you" in German.
simultaneously, Tolan took a stab at
it in French with indifferent results.
The Argentine roared his pleasure.

1T looked as though you were the

Boy, how you came up," countered
Eddie, and SO it went until they re-
turned to their cottage.
THEY are agreed on where the op-

To Tolan his chief opposition, in
the order named, are: Metcalfe,
George Simpson and Arthur Jonath.
To Metcalfe, it is the same, except
that Tolan holds the first position.
Metcalfe thought he was a little

in the hundred. Tolan was satisfied
the way he ran his race.

Txphoon. and clOudbur,t,

TyphOons have produced some of
the worlds most remarkable cloud
burst floods, writes Charles Fitzhugh
Talman in Asia Magazine. Perhaps
the most disastrous cloudburst on rec
ord was the one that occurred in the
Xii peninsula of southern Japan on
August 10, 1889. during the passage Of
a typhoon. The resulting flood drowned
1900 persons and caused immense de-
structiOn of property. A typhoon also
brought the heaviest 24-hour rainfall
ever measured, on July 1415, 1911,
when 46 inches of water fell from
noon to noon at Baguio, the summer
capital of the Philippines, starting
huge landslides that buried portions
Of the famous Benquet road. But a
second typhoon repaired some Of the
damage wrought by the first; for It
washed away most Of the debris; re-
ducing, it is said, by $250,OOO, the cost
Of rebuilding the road.

Ferry Older Than s.

Believe it or not, the Hoboken ferry
Of the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern is older than the United States.
1t first went into action in the service
Of the travelling public on May 1, IT'S,
more than year before the Dec
laration Of Independence was signed.
At that time, New York boosted a pop
ulation Of about $4,000, all Of whom
just as New Workers do now-prob-
ably considered everything west Of the
Hudson as being well beyond the out
ermost rim Of civilization. The early
day ferries were powered by sails, or
horses working on treadmills, but
these were displaced in 1911 when the
first steam ferry boat in the world
was operated on the Hoboken route

Red Volcanic Duat

In 1883 the great volcano Of Kra-
katoa, on the straits of Sunda, be-
tween Java and Sumatra, erupted with
the most violent volcanic explosion
known in historic times. A cubic mile
or so Of finely powdered volcanic dust
fioated in the atmosphere, spreading
through the air, over all the earth.
When the air is exceptionally dusty
or filled with the smoke of forest fires,
or other haze, even the MONDAY sun
seems red. The cause is the same as
that which makes the sunrise and sun
set red. Communal prayers were said
in churches and public squares. 1t
was considered a certain prelude to
the end of the world.

Roadmakins Honors for
Early Dutch Settlers


The ancient myth of the city as the
stronghold Of the devil, where he lay
in wait to gobble up the innocent
maidens and country youths ogre
fashion was believed in as thoroughly
in the days of early trails and high
ways as 1t is in backwoods country
villages today. The good citizens
fought tooth and nail for their purity
against the bloated stage proprietors
and the turnpike companies, who
sought to open new outlets for road
traffic, with the same zest modern
small town first citizens fight the city
railroad and traffic lords who seek to
mar their fair land with ugly fire
eaters" and sirenish macadam and con-
crete highways.
If the Pilgrims had the edge on tho
first road, the Dutch of New York city
had the honor Of being the first up-to-
date roadmakers, since they were sup
posed to be using two-horse carriage
in the middle 16O0s. The bonnets and
laces Of the deacon's wives were not
the only causes for envy. In q
Cheshire county village, New Hamp-
shire. on Sabbath morning in 1912,
the first horse-drawn carriage made
its way to the meetin' house amid en-
vious scowls Of the neighbors, with
Its cargo the wife of q well-to-do dea-
con. This no doubt provided enough
gossip for q whole moon Of Sundays
and weekdays.-""From Here to Yon-

Nature and Mankind

Nature, before it has been touched
by man, is almost always beautiful,
strong and cheerful in mans eyes; but
Nature, when he has once given 1t his
culture and then forsaken 1t, has
usually an air of sorrow and helpless
ness. He has made 1t to live the more,
by laying hand upon 1t and touching
II with his life. It has come to relish
Of his humanity, and 1t is so favored
with his thoughts, and permeated by
his spirit, that If the stimulus of his
presence is withdrawn It cannot for
long while do without him, and live
for itself as fully and as well as 1t
did hefore.-Jean Tagelow.
