 Good Views From Wharves
 The location of the event per- mitted good views of it from the c Government Wharf and from the dock of the Pacific Steam ship Company, and many persons witnessed the contests from these vantage points.
 While the race was in progress, the seaplane Chichagof, piloted by Anscel Eckmann, scared over the contestants in alighting in the harbor on return from a flight to Lake Hasselborg, and then taxied to the hangar The competing boats were at no time close to one another.
 Batting Contest Not Held
 The motor boat race constituted the July Fourth water sports. The scheduled fishermen's halibut bait ing contest was not held on ac- count of lack of entries.
 Ralph B. Martin was judge of the motor boat contest and dis tributed the prizes.

I beg Einstein's pardon, that I compare my heart with the shaft of a perpetual mo- tion contrivance, which does not exist of course That shaft has been overburdened often and heav- fly, but not even once have the bearings run warm too much nor the metal shown any signs of breakage, or-to explain my simile, my heart has not become en- larged nor are there any signs Of trouble in the valves. Twice a year I have it's Rosntgen-picture taken, to avoid surprises. The last time such @ picture was taken was on December 3 last The picture re- veals that my heart is 10 nm. longer in one direction and 10 nm. narrower in the other than the hearts of fully normal people of my age but otherwise it does not show anything out of the common or wonderful.

 have never taken any kind of I nIini11n f6t. vt thing I have taken is baths, for it's benefit, because a hip-bath is to the heart-nerves the same as mama was for the Israelites. My heart does not beat more than 100 per minute, or just over even after the most severe eXertions, at rest 1t beats some 55 to 60 to the min ute. Often in the evenings, when sitting at home, I have noticed how it beats exactly in step with the old clock on the wall in my room. Left Foot the Stronger
 Lawson Robertson and a few other good Americans were highly surprised when I started "gallop- ing'-just imagine a trotting match, in which horse makes that fault. as the experts say lie. every alternate step. I still run exactly in the same manner, and the simple reason for this is that there is more latent strength in my left foot than in the right one. Lawson Robertson urged me to endeavor to get rid of this method by running clockwise along the track, as I saw Abel Kiviat do once in the spring of 1925 on the Columbia track, but that trick was left un- tried by me.
 And as a mater of fact, there is no real hindrance, although my running looks very much like that of the old horse. The main thing is that the running is fast and with long steps; remember, long strides. You get into ,long strides by moving your Joins, and a good help is also to turn your body with your steps It is essential that the step becomes long without any particular stretching and any spec ial jumping. Everything must go | like dance.

The Sparrows Of Paris.

DR.. Alexandra Gueniot of the French
Academy of Medicine is a hundred
years OF age. When his professional
brethren gathered\to do him honor on
his birthday he gave them a discourse
on the sparrows Of Paris. The bird,
he told them, has become lovable,
CHEEKY comrade whose presence adds a
pleasure to our walks and outings"

Is barbarian, he declared, but the
town sparrow has acquired refinement
and culture" and is . wholly respect

These views Of the civilizing influence
of urban life may seem rankly heretical
to those who presume to imagine that
cities are inherently unnatural, abnor-
NAL and disgenic. They certainly are
novel In an era when the vilification
of cities is fashionable.
But perhaps DR.. Gueniot Is correct.
Perhaps the sparrows Of Paris have ab-
sorbed enough Of the cultural atmos-
phere Of their environment to deserve
his compliments. Perhaps they have
become as suave and mannerly Is he
thinks.

Under this plan the branch banking

Calling it "a question for another

Twenty Opportunities.

In response to suggestions from many
sources The Star Is presenting to Wash
ington today Twenty Opportunities"
to help someone in trouble.
Five Of the city's charitable and wei
fare agencies were asked to select from
their rosters OF misfortune total OF
twenty neediest cases. Funds contrib
uted to The Star will be made directly
available to those designated by con-
tributors.
Christmas may mean a different thing
to each Of us. To some OF us the
Christmas season may recall tragedy
and suffering Of the past, the bitterness
Of which has been assuaged by the
passing years. To some Of US 1t may
recall far happier Christmas seasons.
To some Of US 1t becomes time Of
retrospection; to some OF us it serves
to kindle anew the spark OF hope TOR
the future. To all Of us 1t voices an
appeal to the best that Is in us. The
sweet tradition Of the season Is the
Inspiration to share the good things OF
this life with others.
These who have suggested, In one
form or another, this undertaking by
The Star have been moved by COM
mon impulse. So feeling themselves,
they believe that there are thousands Of
others in Washington who feel that,
given the opportunity Of knowing where
need exists and in what form the mis-
fortune Of others has been manifested
they will respond to the opportunity to
help meet that need and the misfortune
that produced it. It Is In this spirit
that The Star presents the selected
Twenty Opportunities.
The presentation Of these opportuni-
ties Is not linked with the Community
Chest. The funds contributed to The
Star Will be turned over to the agencies
concerned and administered directly
and without charge for the relief Of the
specified cases. There may be those
who, for one reason CT another, did not
contribute to the Community Chest
campaign. There may be others who
contributed to the Community Chest
campaign, but who wish to give more.
But the appeal represented in these
Twenty Opportunities Is not an appeal
to any class OF contributors. Each case
listed merely represents an opportunity
for those who, at this season Of the year,
wish to find such an opportunity. There
are few Of us, indeed, who, able to meet
them, can let them pass.
