A mighty stadium which once
quivered under the shifting forms
of countless thousands of hu-
mans, and rocked with their
mighty broadsides of frenzied
JOY and hysterical acclaim, now
merely a vast bowl with its con-
crete outlines bare, silent and
empty.
The sapphire blue pool, which
once was churned by swimming
humans, or broken into ripples
by the zoom of divers. now
placidly reflecting only the Cali
fornia sunshine: lagoon, in
the outer reaches of a great city,
where scullers performed heroicS,
while 100000 voices urged them
on, merely another Somber
stretch of water.
The blazing torch from the
peristyle flames no more.
The tenth Olynpiad is done.
Depart for Home
Most of those hundreds of
girls and men who came here
only trifle more than two
weeks ago to strive for the fame
and glory of Olympic triumph
already have departed whence
they came; their fellows will fol
low in a day or two on the long
trek from Los Angeles to the far
corners of the world.
Whether hopes were realized,
or whether dreams of triumph
were transformed forever into the
nightmare of disappointment,
they are going backbone.
They have had their hour, they
have had their day, and, for
them, and for all others, the
games of the Tenth Olympiad is
no more.
History in keeping with the
immutable law OF time, has gath
cred the Olympiad into its arms,
as it has gathered all other things
since this world and life began,
and is storing it into the vaults
so that those of the future may
seek it out. and review it and
gaze in awe at its accomplish
mentS.
Not to Return for Years
Not in the next generation, nor
perhaps in the succeeding one,
will America again act as host
for an Olympiad. These are meas
ures of time. each covering a
period of four years and with at
least a dozen nations now eager
to entertain in the Olympiads
ahead, it may be somewhere
along in 1880 before this country
can hope to house another ath-
letic carnival
But no matter how long it
shall be. memory of the Tenth
Olympiad will remain so fresh
that it will seem as only yeSter-
day Since Los Angeles perfected
the plans that made this Olym-
piad the most astonishing in all
history. and the athletes perform
deeds of valor that bewildered
world.

Wonderful Clock Made
by Italian Artificer

clock so complicated that no
matchmaker alive could possibly I'M
derstand its workings has been conf
pleted by patient man named Cos
tanzo Renzi of Rimini, Italy, after
two years of assiduous attention.
The 36-hour clock, almost entirely
made Of bamboo and built in the
form of the Fascist emblem, is 3 feet
high. Besides marking the hour, the
minute and the second, this wonder
full timepiece also shows the phases
of the moon, the day of the week,
the month and the day of the month.
Besides, here are some more eXtrav-
agances: When the clock strikes, a
small flag with pictures of the king
and II Duce appears and the chimes
play "Giovinezza," the Fascist hymn.
When these are over small mortar
on the top of the clock fires salvO
and a tiny tricolor makes another
appearance Inventor Renzi assured
school children that try as he might
he couldn't get the continuance to
do home lessons.

Saturday night were sharply criticized
yesterday by Senator l.. j. Dickinson.

said;

YOU made use of the phrase including
the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes deep
waterways in what you called the
Democratic unemployment plank.

Can it be that instead of printing

intention of your managers to foist
this rewritten platform, together with
your comments thereon, upon the
American people as the original and

IF so, it is significant that 1t will
be done only after President Hoover

The teachers remain irnpotent. There is not
