New York City-(CNS)-A news
story has it that little Philippa Duke

daughter of George S. Schuyler, the

of course that's just a joke" Mr..
Schuyler explained. "She really hasn't
read any of them"
But golden-brown Philippa, who
was born on August 2. 1881, passed
the next pedantic hour in her home
at 321 Edgecombe Avenue proving
that she could read and write, could
spell hippopotamus, ~rhinoceros and

COMING
A SPLINTER

New York City=(CNS)=Ben John
son the n~ineteen-year old Negro star
sprinter of Plymouth, Pennsylvania.
is reported to be a good student at
Columbia University and destined for
a championship Splinter career, ac-
cording to Carl Merner, Columbia
Coach. johnson is medium built but
well knit, five feet eight inches tall
and 145 pounds. He is a powerful
sprinter all the way, fast off the mark
and capable Of carrying his speed
over the full furlong route, which
some fast starters cannot do.
The Plymouth sprinter first came
to the attention Of track followers
when he appeared at Harvard Stad-
ium for the 1892 Eastern Olympic try
outs: He ran third in the 200 meters
behind Midshipman John Waybright
of Navy, and Stewart Wilcox Of Wes-
leysn, in 21-3 seconds. Plymouth
took such pride in his performances
it raised a Ben Johnson Olympic Fund
to send him to Palo Alto, California
for the final tryouts. He was fourth
in the semi-final heat behind some Of
Americas best 200-meter men.
johnson established himself as the
best sprinter in eastern Pennsylvania
last year, but he was virtually un-
known to New York when he started
his college sprint career last month.
He won a special 60-yard dash in the
seth Regiment Armory, beating Ed
die Siegel, Phil Cohen and others of
the local leaders in 5.4 seconds in
spikeless shoes. That was the first
public intimation that Johnson was a
freshman at Columbia. Considered
an excellent prospect, he wasn't sup
posed to be ready for the fastest in
door competition, but he proved other
wise in the Millrose meet, competing
in a picked field of sixteen sprinters
and beating Metcalfe in a trial heat.
Running in a Scranton, Pennsyl-
vania, armory, Johnson has twice
been clicked in 81 seconds. The
board-floor record is 81 seconds,
created by Loren Murchison eleven
years ago, a record often tied but still
officially intact. Johnson's record
breaking in Scranton may be put
down to inaccurate timing, but his
Eastern Pennsylvania friends believe
he will do it in New York one Of
these days.
Johnson will appear in the New
York A. c. 60-yard dash, and in the
absence of Metcalfe and TOPPING he
seems a logical favorite- He also will
compete in the national A. "A. U. 60
meter championships, but his dis
trict championship successes bar him
from the freshman medley relay race
in the Intercollegiate at the Garden

DR.. Alexander said: "Such a pro

casioned by announcement that there

mob of last November 28. after the
acquittal Of the first man tried. He
commented: "This is the old story

A few weeks ago CWA graft
charges appeared in the headlines.
The President himself was getting
hundreds of letters a day complain
ing of sharp practices. Job-selling,
political preference, false expense ac-
counts, padded payrolls-these were
the bones of contention. The govern
ment moved fast. Employees guilty of
even suspicious actions, were dis
missed, some were arrested. The At
torney General went to work investi-
eating other cases. Administrator
Hopkins, worried and disconnected,
sen out Army engineers to check up
on CWA work. When one was sent
to Cook County, Illinois, which con-
tains the city of Chicago, the entire
Illinois CWA commission resigned.
At the same time, a nationwide
move got underway to keep the CWA
in existence-it was due to pass away
shortly. Mr.. Roosevelt, however,
doesn't want it as a permanent part
of his organization, announced that
he would adopt a modified course.
Instead of bringing its activities to
an end at once, it will be allowed to
live until May l. On February Is,
eva workers in the South will be
discharged at the rate Of 100000 a
week, and the dismissal movement
will move gradually north as the

He IS 70 and lawyer resident in Louisville, Ky:
Another gentleman is IS. He is also lawyer ana
chiefly noted for his share in the fight against the

THESE sentinels are interested chiefly in what they
feel to be too great a concentration OF power IN
washington through an overheard Interpretation
of the general welfare clause of the Constitution
But it seems to me that these strict constltu-
tionalists are in a most illogical position. One OF
the arguments used by The protection" league is
that the codes of NRA already have abolished child
labor and so the amendment is unnecessary But
from the point of view of a conservative lawyer 1t
would seem to that the national industrial recov-
ery act was of doubtful legality while the amend
ment, of course, can not be assalled on any such
ground.
