Regrets Jarrett Incident.

OTHER comments on the case were:
" DR.. Joseph E. Raycroft of Prince
ton, vice president of the American
Olympic Committee:
"As much as I regretted the situa-
ton, the facts were such that the
Olympic Committee had no alternative
other than to take the action it did"
vice president of the National A. A. U.
and president of the Metropolitan As
ISOLATION of the A. A. u:
Il do not see that anything can be
accomplished on either side by pro-
longing the controversy. Personally I
sympathized with the predicament in
which she involved herself and re-
GREETED the necessity for drastic &C
ton. However, the authority as well
as the basis for the Olympic Commit
tees action cannot be seriously ques-
toned.
Alfred r. Masters. Stanford:
1.-THE Olympics Committee. as I
see it, bungled the case at the out
set. The final decision was justified,
after Mrs. Jarrett repeated her offense,
but matters never should have been
allowed to reach that point. I believe
all trouble could have been avoided by
more direct treatment of Mrs. Jarrett
by the ranking Olympic leaders at the
start"
Robertson Praises Team.
T AWSON ROBERTSON of Pennsyl-
vania, head coach Of the mems
track and field team, was enthusiastic
over the record of his men. Despite
the fact the 1912 American team
brought home more gold medals. Rob-
ertson said this team gave the great
est performance in the history of
Americas participation in the games,
in view Of the competition.
Our biggest disappointments were
the failure of Jack Torrance to come
back in the shotput and, of course,
the failure Of Don Lash to score in
either Of the distance fiat races" he
said. Lash was over trained and SIM
ply did not have the surplus energy
he needed for the competition, which
was much too tough for him to COM
bat anyway. The Films were in a
class by themselves.
Jesse Owens, as expected, gave q
marvellous performance in every event,
especially the broad Jump, under pres
sure. Glenn Cunningham ran a won
derful race, breaking the world record,
and needed no apology for being beat
en- in the $500 by Jack Lovelock. The
ability Of our decathlon trio to finish
1-2-3, led by Glenn Morris, was q
tribute not only to their competitive
skill but tribute as well to their fine
conditioning by Brutus Hamilton"
Approximately 100 athletes, includ-
ing most of the mems track and field
team, are still abroad.

Strong From Waist Up.

THE 21-year-old lad, whom doctors
predicted never would walk, now
manages to negotiate rather well on
crutches. Broad shouldered, with we'll
developed back, chest and abdominal
muscles blending with powerful arms
and hands, Goldstein is a perfect
physical speciman from the waist up.
As soon as Murray could hobble
about on clutches he became imbued
with q determination to develop his
arms, shoulders and torso. He chose
swimming to accomplish this end, and
for years Travelled to the famous L
street bathing beach in Boston, where
he spent long hours mastering the
American crawl without q leg kick.
A little more than o year ago,
Murray entered his first competitive
swim and came OF with the New
England amateur long-distance title.
Goldstein chose one of the most
dificult bodies Of water in the world
to negotiate in his first attempt, a
12-mile stretch from Boston to the
light house that marks the entrance
to the Boston harbor. Its treacherouS
cross and rip tides and local currents
have thwarted, among others, James
Tort, one of the first to swim the
English Channel.

Mortality Found To Be Great.
est In First Five Years
of Life
SOME OF THE CAUSES

Washington.-For the modern, the
first five years are the hardest, and
of these, the first year is II times
as fatal as any of the next four. A
recent thoroughgoing study by the
Census bureau of deaths and their
cause in 1884 disclosed that the
five-year period which most nearly
approaches the first period in fatal
tiles is that between the ages Of sew
enty and seventy-five.
This might bring the improper
conclusion that if a person gets
through the first five years it is
likely that he will live to be seven
ty. The dividing line, however. lies
somewhere Just under sixty. There
are slightly more deaths under sixty
than beyond that age
OF the LIST, ,440 deaths in 1884
that were analyzed by the bureau,
585, 696 were under sixty; ST., ,744
were after sixty. The study, for
comparative purposes, covered

porting their vital statistics regu-
larly to the bureau since 1920.

REXALL TRAIN EXHIBITION
The Howard r. Jones Pharmacy
Want Their Friends to See 1t

The old adage what the public
wants, the public gets is well ex-
emplified in the 12-car Rexall Con-
yention Train, which will come to
this section next Sunday in Will
mington. The Howard R. Jonas
Pharmacy of Smyrna, is cooperat-
ing with this and by their adver-
tisement in this issue, they want
their friends and customers to take
time to see it. Everywhere the
Rexall Train has gone they have
been greeted by crowds. The train
was conceived originally to bring
conventions to the 10000 Rexall
and Liggett druggists in this coun-
try and Canada instead of making
them travel many miles to section
al conventions, thus losing much
time away from business. Stops
of one or more days are made for
the conventions held on the train
and agents from the adjacent ter
ritory attend. 1t was assumed in
the beginning that each druggist
would have a few friends and Gus
toners who would want to visit
the train on its 29,000-mile tour
and inspect its novel exhibition cars
and specially built 350-ton stream
lined engine. There has been q
daily average attendance of more
than 1900 and a weekly average OF
$4,000. Based on these figures il
is safe to assume that when the
tour is ended an attendance well
over 1000, 900 will have been re.
corded. You will not want to miss
it. See adv.

GEORGIA EARTHQUAKE FELT
IN SMYRNA

A distinct earthquake shock was
experienced over a large extent of
territory last night at 9:55. 1t
seems to have been observed first
in Georgia whense it swept north
and west to Richmond, Whining
ton, Philadelphia, New York, De-
troit, Indianapolis, Chicago and
other cities. In all these places the
shock was startling and in Cleve-
land, Detroit and Cincinnati caused
great CONSERVATION, people rushing
from the theatres, hotels and other
public buildings in great excite
ment. The earthquake wave, in its
northern and western flow was
outstripped by the telegraph dis
patches warning people to prepare
for it. but it was generally con-
sidered a joke, and but little
thought was given it until arrived,
when it attracted general atten-
tion. No damage is reported from
any of the localities mentioned.
Many of our own citizens felt the
disturbance very distinctly and
some were quite alarmed by the
trembling of houses, motion of
articles of furniture and the ging-
ling of lamps and glassware; and
most people agree that these
solemn visitations are not to be de-
sired too frequently.
