" ficials worried two days ago
seems to be Strengthening it
self out, although members of the
American Olympic Committee have
not yet found any reason for discon-
tinuing appeals for contributions to
send Americas athletes to the Berlin
games.
Since Sunday some $4,000 in con-
tributions has been received, including
$2,500 from q New York committee
which has promised to collect at least
$4,000, Gustavus T. Kirby, A. 0. G.
treasurer, announced last night.
Several special contributions have
been received for expenses Of special
athletes. and the advance sale for the
final track and field tryouts at Ran
dalls Island has been booming.
Meet Sale Is Heavy.
COME $4,500 worth of tickets were
sold yesterday, bringing the total
advance sale to about $4,000. That
put enough in the Golfers to assure a
full track team of three men for each
event to Europe and surplus is ex-
pected to help out the other squads.
A fund also was offered to send
Kathlyn Kelley, South Carolina high
jumper, who was named as an alter
nate on the woman's track squad,
along with her teammates.
Anonymous donors heard hard

her engagement ring to provide her
own expense money and a boy whose
parents had taken money set aside
for his college expenses for next year
and offered to contribute the necessary

Incentive Goes With Record.

THE reason why most of those in
charge of this event decided
against the l5-foot trial and why
Varof agreed. lay purely and simply
in the realm Of psychology. When an
athlete has broken a world record, or
in fact a national record, something
happens to him. The mental exalta-
ton and the perfect command Of all
physical factors involved In the per-
Torrance of a feat are found to have
sagged. The man has had his ST.
preme moment, has transcribed all
previous human effort. and so mental
and physical influences beyond his
control and beyond his knowledge as
sumo command; he is through for
that day.
Another day, his own record at
which to shoot, he may again be able
to command record-smashing achieve
ment. Or perhaps year may have to
elapse-or, still again, he may never
live again that blazing interlude when
he overcame normal limitations and
became for the moment superhuman.
It is all very interesting, chiefly be-
cause 1t is so mysterious.

capital punishment has survived so long in a land like ours where it might be said again that the public opinion is so intelligent, but rank and file of the masses are so hypnotized that, though they see what is going on around them, they do not understand what 1t means.
 Only He who gave life has a right to take it. Two wrongs do not make 8 right. It is founded on the principle of retribution, of retaliation, of vengeance, all of which have been abandoned by modern criminology and penology. It undermines the general feeling of sacredneSs of human life. No state by killing men, can teach its citizens not to kill. By taking human life, the state cannot de- velop in the minds of its people the idea that human life is sacred. It is not reformatory. To reform a man by killing him is part of the pagan philosophy that threw thousands of early Christians to the wild beasts in the days of Nero and other Roman dictators.
 Clarence Darrow has said that it is only the poor who are exc cuted. The chief teaching of the greatest teacher the world has ever seen, the son of Joseph the carpenter, the Man of Sorrows was the Law of Love.
 Let us look at 8 very few of those great souls who with clair voyant vision saw the effect of capital punishment on the un- born generations, and fought for its abolishment:
 William Penn, one of its greatest leaders for abolishment. Dr. Benjamin Rush, LaFayette, Rogespierre, John Bright, Tolstoy, Victor Hugo, Father Matthew and Charles Dickens. In our land: Henry Ward Beecher, Charles Summer, Henry w. Long, fellow, Wendell Phillips, William Cullen Bryant, Judge Thomas M. Cooley and Clarence Darrow, all bitter enemies of capital punish ment.
