It's Glenn Cunningham speaking, and if
there's anyone qualified to speak on that sub
ject, it's he. Glenn is the one undisputed
master Of the cinder path, in class entirely
by himself in racing events from the half mile
to the mile run.
Glenn Cunningham - the kansas Cy-
Clone" the Western Flash" = has broken
more records with his legs than any other
human who has breasted tape in recent
years. As these words are being written he is
topping off an astonishing season of victories
in indoor meets with series of outdoor meets
in which he is burning up the wind against the
best speed artists the universities of the East
and West can offer
Cunningham is due to meet the supreme
test of his career in the Princeton Invitation
Meet on June Is. There, on that fast track
where Glenn set his world record last spring,
the Kansas Whirlwind will have chance to
surpass his mark for the outdoor mile.
The best speed artists of the world will be
pitted against him at Princeton They will in
clude Jack Lovelock of New Zealand, former
mile record holder; Bill Bonthron of Princeton
and Gene Venzke of Pennsylvania
Can Glenn lower his fast record of 4O6.7?
Track coaches the country over are saying:

Glenn Cunningham must do it r' And if Glenn
ever does it, he may do it at Princeton on

world record for the indoor 1000 yard run in
the phenomenal time of minutes, 10 and
one-tenth seconds, besting Hal Cutbill's
13-year-old mark of 2:12. In that race he beat
the Indiana track marvel, Chuck Hornbostel.
Glenn won every race he ran in at the nine
indoor meets this year. Coaches for his rivals
will tell you frankly he simply breaks the
hearts of his opponents on that home stretch.
Whatever the speed set, he can hold it, and
then leave the crowd like flying demon when
he spies the tape!
Glenn feels that in his future program of
coaching track and trying to make America
track-conscious, his big task is to utilize track
events for all-round physical training, rather
than for the specialized work of finding stars.
Surely the only established sport of schools
and Fairgrounds that can call all healthy
young life into its activities deserves a better
place than it now enjoys in athletic America"
he declares. 1T offers wide range of events
from which young athlete can choose"
Glenn won't talk about himself unless YOU
almost force him to. But the story of his early
life and how he began his track career is too
rare II too American - to miss. He was born
in western Kansas on farm near Elkhart.
When he was eight years old he and his
brother tried to start fire in the school stove
one morning. The brother used kerosene,
which exploded and blew fire over both of
them. The schoolhouse burned down. Glenn's
legs were so severely burned it was feared he
would never walk again.
II determined not only to walk, but to
rum" Glenn relates II started taking part in
all types of games on the schoolground was
quite basketball enthusiast. found en-

around the track to win the mile!
By the time Glenn entered his freshman
year in high school Coach Roy Varney had
come to Elkhart. Glenn has high words of
praise for this coach.
II entered the mile run in a meet in that
freshman year. Varney told me to make fast

pace. They ran too slow for me. took the

 T couldn't" Dana cried. q wouldn't take it from you for any, thing in the world"
 'It will grieve me if you don't" her aunt said. Some day, Dana, it will all crumble away"
 Dear Aunt Ellen, I couldn't take your savings!"
 "It was saved many years ago" Aunt Ellen's voice was almost whisper. "You see, dear, I too ex- pected to be married. To someone handsome and young, and very poor. Your grandmother had mar ried well, and she was bitter be- cause I wouldn't be as comfortable and secure. I had always looked up to her, and obeyed her. In the end, gave up my f1ance, and after while he married someone else. He was Scott's grandfather, Dana"
 Aunt Ellen!" breathed Dana. "Oh, poor darling!"
 You see, feel a sort of claim on Scott, too. And then I would like this money to be used for what it was originally intended - a trousseau."
 Dana took the money wondering ly. The worn bills cracked under her hand. Perhaps they would be falling to pieces soon.
 How unhappy you must have been!" Dana said.
 "At first, yes. It was a long time before I could be reconciled. But now it is all like a dream. It's been nice here with Agatha. We've always had enough to get along. I've liked my big, comfortable room. It just fits me. I don't like new things, dear. My old pur-, pie crepe kimono is as good as new, summer after summer, when its rubbed regularly. And then in winter I have a warm, woolly one. I wouldn't exchange them or my old felt slippers for the best new ones you could buy"
 And my quilt, which I made with my own hands when I was younger and smarter, is the only thing that bothers me much. Some times Sarah gets it mixed with the new one Agatha bought at a ba- zaar. And do I get in a temper when I find that brand-new silk upstart on my bed"
 Dana smiled, but there was pity in her heart. How sad, how ter rible, if life should become a groove like that. The same old quilts and slippers!
 Her eyes, blurred by tears, were on the bills in her hand-bills that had been hidden so long in the old leather trunk. Somehow, Dana knew Aunt Ellen would never use them. They were a symbol of something she had missed, of hap piness she had lacked the courage to take.
 "Ill take this money" she said suddenly. Thank you, dear. dear

 "IIl fight like everything" Dana said. The words had almost the sound of prayer.
 It was a home wedding, but it might have been anywhere for all it mattered to Dana and Scott. Someone-Aunt Ellen, Dana sus- pected-had lighted the ivory can- dles in a stately old candelbra. There were flowers, brought in from the garden and arranged in vases and bowls. They perfumed the room and the flickering tapers cast spell of beauty,

 Scott couldn't be serious not even ot his own wedding. Glanc- ing up at him, Dana saw that Scctt's eyes, like his tone, were solemn.
 Dana wore dark gray suit of soft woolen material. Her small, gray hat had a darker gray bow at a perky angle. Pinned to her shoulder was a bouquet of orchids.
 Dana had bemoaned Scott's reck- lessness, while adoring him send ing the orchids. What was it Nancy had said about orchids and silk stockings? What an odd thought to have while you were being mar ried. Perhaps it was because Scott was just concluding the phrase, T do endow."

FRIDAY JULY 12, 1885
DOOR LEFT OPEN TO CHANGES

A letter written by George Wash
ington, dealing with the constitution.
has just been made public in New
York. The letter is dated October 10,
1887, and was written to Col, David
Humphreys, Washingtons aide de
camp and close personal friend The
draft Of the constitution had been
completed and sent to congress to be
approved, and sent 10 the states for
ratification Humphreys obviously
had asked Washington's views on the
matter, ana received the following an
swer:
The constitution that Is submitted,
is not free from imperfeetions; but
there are as few radical defects in it
as could well be expected, consider
ing the heterogeneous mass of which
the convention was composed and the
diversity Of interests which were to
be reconeiled. 4 constitutional door
being opened, for future alterations
and amendments, / think it would be
wise in the people to adopt what is
ofFarad iii tba,, n
Much will depend, however. on lit
erary abilities and the recommends
tion Of it BY good pens, should it be
attacked openly, mean publicly,
IN the gazettes.'
Apparently, one Of the best things
about the proposed constitution, in
Washington's mind, was that it left
the door open to changes. The idea
that the constitution is a changeless
thing originated in smaller minds
than that of Washington.

we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pre-

More or less sour cherries this
week. Of all the spectacles Amer

power trust lobby was perhaps the
rottenest, the sourest and the most
scandalous.
Some commentators have said that
it was one lobby against another

elected can be called lobbying, is one
of those things destined to remain

Mr.. S. Clay Williams, once NRA
chief, also R. j. Reynolds tobacco
chief, leading anti-union cigarette
manufacturers, recently broke loose
in an attack on the AAA.
An inquiry on cigarettes conducted
by Fortune magazine shows:
That CIT per cent Of the adult pop
ulation of the United States do not
smoke cigarettes.
That cigarette smoking is nearly
twice as common among men under
20 as among those over that age, and
three times as common among young
women as among those above 40.
That one-third Of the younger men
and three-fourths of the younger
women do not smoke cigarettes.
That all but one Of the highly
ballyhooed monopoly brands lost in
sales last year, while union-made
Kools gained 10 per cent.
Mr.. Williams expression of philos-
ophy seems to be reason enough for
union men to smoke union-made cigar
cites, just as they buy other union
made commodities.
Another disgrace is the reaction

Reaction is gaining courage, with

HITLER WARNED
IN PEACE PRAYER
Cardinal PaceIIi Expresses
Church's Stand as LourdeS
Ceremonies End.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOURDES. France, April 2s.-The
eolorful three-day prayers for peace
were ended today with a note of
warning widely interpreted as the
Vaticans admonition to Reichs-
fuehrer Hitler and exponents of
Communism that the Catholic
Church will remain hostile to them
rs long as they persist in philos-
ophies contrary to the Christian
faith"
The warning was contained in the
final prayer of Eugenio Cardinal
Pacelli, Vatican secretary Of state.
The Catholic Church, he said, will
never make peace with enemies of
the church possessed by superstition
OF race or blood" He designated as
the churchs enemies many peoples
'massing around the flag of social
revolution
Quarter Million at Shrine.
More than a quarter Of million
persons, pilgrims and church digni-
taries, were massed about the famous
Grotto Shrine as the Jubilee OF Re-
demption" terminated They stood
silently attentive as Pope Plus gave
them his benediction, transmitted 10y
radio from the Vatican City broad
casting station.
While Cardinal Pacelli was singing
the final mass, the throng of pilgrims
became so vast that scouts charged
with keeping order were unable to ap-
proach within 500 yards of the Grotto.
After solemn procession from the
Grotto. the pilgrims began leaving
Jourdes.
Cardinal Pacelli, watching them de-
part, observed. Il am unable to ex-
press my emotion"
Many Germans Present.
Many German pilgrims were in the
great convocation of faithful who
heard the cardinals concluding casti-
cation of those whom he accused of
spreading aversion for the cross"
What is tragic is that this aversion
for the cross is raised to its utmost by
those who are denying the funda-
mental dogma of sin and reject the
idea of redemption as injurious to
human dignity the papal legate said
with the illusion of extolling new
wisdom, they are really only lament
able plagarists who cover with new
trumpery errors quite old.
1T matters little that they mass
around the flag of social revolution.
They are inspired by a false concep-
tion of the world and life. Whether
they are possessed by superstition of
race and blood, their philosophy, as
that Of others. rests upon principles
essentially opposed to those of the
Christian faith. And on such prin-
ciples the church does not consent to
form a compact with them at any
price,"
