Avery Brundage, national presi-

"You know, the Ancient Greeks

games" he recalled. "They

they were right"
With that he sailed in to defend
the A. A. U. and its rules Of
amateurism which have been bonn
barded heavily since Miss Didrik-
son was suspended on a charge OF
professionalism, and then REIN
stated.
I'm tired Of all these charges

Secretary, American Bridge League
As I have mentioned before, the
new duplicate laws were put into ef-
feet at the recent national cham
pionship tournament of the Ameri-
can Bridge League, and these laws
provided for 100 point premium
for making less-than-game con-
tract. This is generally termed by
the players themselves the 100
point part-score bonus
This 100 point premium livens up
the bidding, draws both sides into

~ A recent investigation in local

, that hygiene Is being properly
Z taught throughout the schools,
This statement was confirmed by
John q. Gilmartin, principal OF
Croft grammar school and chair
man OF the committee on hygiene.
The investigation revealed that
y teachers are not remiss In their
duties to this subject.
When Mr. Gilmartin was asked
whether or not this subject was
sdying slow death, he emphatic
sally denied 1t. remarking that 40
10 as minutes of each week are de-
Voted to hygiene and ethics. When
asked twhat procedure was fol-
lowed he said he could only. de-
scribe. his own mode of presenta-
tion. as different teachers have diff
ferent methods, but that he could
specify the ground covered by
each grade.
He said he wished to preface his
remarks with the statement that
the schools were teaching tenn
per1nce, moderation and contin-
ency. That what, applied to the ex-
cessive use of alcohol was equally
true Of tobacco and other narcot-
les.
The pupils are taught the bane-
full and injurious reactions on the
body the heart, the lungs and the
nervous system as result of inn
moderate drinking. In other works
teachers try to instill into their
minds the importance of temper

When asked II pupils had text

to be learned by the pupils. They
are then tested In June on the list
of questions presented to them. BY
this procedure no class is handi-
capped because OF an inadequate
supply of books.

Banquets, and parties were being

The sky was cloudy and light

Miss Earhart left Harbor Grace.
The ship carried its capacity load
of 420 gallons Of fuel.
With o cruising radius Of 1900
miles. favorable weather and an
experienced flyer at the controls,
Balchen reiterated his estimate
that chances for Miss Earhart's
success were "99 out of 1O0."
The flight from Harbor Grace
over water to the southern tip of
Ireland is 1900 miles. With an
additional 600 miles across st
Georges channel between ireland
and England, across the English
channel, and over France to Paris,
Miss Earhart's total estimated dis
lance was around $500 miles.
Her plane has q cruising speed
of 140 miles an hour and a top
, speed Of 1870 miles. II she flew at
cruising speed, she would reach
here In IS hours, or about noon
today, New York time.
Lindbergh required 33 1-2 hours
for the entire flight from New
York to Paris. He left New York
early In the morning, and late that
afternoon, at about the correspond
ing time that Miss Earhart started
from Harbor Grace, he had passed
over Newfoundland and headed
out to sea.
Miss Earhart was the first wo-
man to cross the Atlantic by air,
when she flew from Newfoundland
to Wales in the airplane Friend
ship" in 1928. She appeared con-
fident that she could make the
crossing alone this time. She had
no fear of the 1900 mile water
hop, for her 5000 mile cruising
RADIUS gave her q good margin.
Miss Earhart was expected to
continue from here to Rome next
