Dear Comrade:-
Now as to food, things are a lot
better than we expected. OF course
you cannot get what the wealthy can
in the states but enough Of the kind
of food to make you fit to work along
side of any American worker.
In the factory things move slowly.
What 1 mean is that work is honey
compared to working at the Fisher
Body. The workers are not afraid
Of the foreman; they talk back to
him, Just like he was one Of them

SILVER PRODUCTION

The value of the silver pro-
duction in 1881 was only 1000,
Us against $157,300 in the pre-.
v.ous year. Two-thirds of the
silver comes from the copper
ore, and with the reduction of
that output and silver averag-
ing but 20 cents an ounce, the
decline Of the total value can
be understood. Silver-bearing
lead ores are but little worked,
because of their low value. Other
minerals, like lead, tin, plati-
mum, petroleum, marble, lime
stone etc, amounted in value
to 100000.

COPPER PRODUCTION

The value of the copper pro-.
duced from Alaska in 1881 is
estimated to have been $1,712,.
coo. This marks a decrease in
value Of more than $2,500,0C0
from the corresponding value in
1880. Nearly $1,0O0,000 of this
decrease in value may be attri-
buted directly to the lower a.
verage price of copper in 1881
than in 1880. The low price not
only had it's direct effect in the
value of the output but it also
acted to restrict operations, so
that the quantity produced fell
of by an amount estimated as
in excess of 100000 pounds.
The average selling price of
copper during the year, as COM
ruted by the Bureau of Mines,
was 8.3 cents against Is cents in
1880. In 1881, as in former years,
practically all the copper came
from two mines near Kennecott,
in the Copper River region. The

had long been one of the large

Tough Golf Ball.

But he was even more surprised when
he found that that fast-hying ball not
only had gone through the interlaced
branches, but had a piece of a limb
driven right through the cover
The twig was fully an inch long
and a quarter of an inch thick, which
speaks volumes for the speed of the
ball. which must have been going so fast
that it impaled itself on the twig and
broke it off to continue its fight. Nat
urally, the ball was not much good
after that.
Twice within the past few years golf
balls have picked up wooden tees and
the players have found the tees stuck
right through the cover, and there IS

to pitch and putt with this pin stick

CHICAGO, March 26.-A campaign
~ of determined opposition to the
revenue bill in Congress for 10
per cent tax on admissions to athletic
contests has been opened by Midwest
ern colleges and universities.
Prof. o. F. Long of Northwestern Uni

Collegiate Athletic Association, has writ
ten to heads of schools holding men,
bership in the association urging that
objection be lodged with local Repre-
sentativeS to Congress.
Authors of this proposal" Prof.
Long said today, "are apparently ig-
norant of the fact that college athletics
are not operated for profit, but to pro-
vide opportunity for undergraduate
sport, and that in the majority of insti-
tutions, athletics are operated at loss.
Foot ball and basket ball receipts are
chiefly aimed at in the proposal to tax
admissions without excepting colleges
and universities, as was done in the
wartime amusement tax. These receipts
are part of the physical education bud
get supporting various programs for the
physical betterment of youth. Such
movements should be supported rather

Henry Brocksmith, Diverted From Foot Ball,
Charges Like Fullback as Indiana Track Star

BY the Associated Press.
LOoMINGTON, md.-"PoWer-
- house" they call him be-
cause he runs like a cnarg-
ing fullback.
One of the classic athletic stories
around Indiana University campus
is how Henry Brocksmith. the 1arm-
er boy from Freelandville, came 10
college imbued with the idea OF
becoming a great foot ball player.
But Coach E. C. Hayes assigned
him to some running for condition.
ing and as a result spotted MS
unique track possibilities.
So Brocksmith never played loot
ball. Instead he broke two track
records in one day in the Big Ten
indoor meets, and as a result rates
as one of the stars in Uncle Sans
armament of Olympic possibilities.
Hits Records Hard.
He lowered the mile record from
4:2l.4 to Alps. A few moments
later he flashed across the tape in
the 2-mile race in 9:l8.4, smashing
the record of 9:26.4 which had
stood six years.
His mile was the fastest ever run
in the Midwest and the third fastest
ever run in a college event, either
indoors or outdoors.
His accomplishments won for his
team the conference flag by 5-16 of
a point over Michigan. and placed
him in the Olympic picture.
Has Wide Range.
With his apparently boundless
endurance. Brocksmith is at home
at any distance from half a mile to
miles. For two years he has been
Big Ten individual cross country
champion. and in 1880 he was q
mile track title holder.
When Charlie Hornbostel, Indi-
ana'S half miller broke the Big Ten
record recently in that event in a
five-way meet, it was Brocksmith
who provided the push" as the
principal competition.
Sets Fast Pace.

to have no sprint or mad dash down
