BY the ASSOClAted FTeSS.
n ILWAUKEE, July 3.-Black-
nu thatched, wiry Allan Tol-
W. mich, versatile youngster
a from Detroit's Wayne Uni
versity, whipped a world champion
and came right back to set meet
record today to outshine a field of
brilliant stars in the golden jubilee
renewal of the Amateur Athletic
Unions senior track and field cham
pionship meet
The grand old man of the middle
distances, Glenn Cunningham, re-
tanned his 1,500-meter title with the
help of heartbreaking accident to
little Archie San Romani; four Far
Westerners surpassed the accepted
world pole vault record, and six great
Negro high jumpers dominated their
field-but it was Tolmch who out
sparkled them all today in Mar
Quette University's stadium.
Tolmich it was who whipped
Georgias famous Forrest (Spec)
Towns, world record-holder, Olympic
champion, defending titleholder and
regarded as unbeatable in the high
hurdles, over the ll0-meter route
And it was Tolmich who came back
an hour later to skim over 200 meters
of low hurdles in the meet record time
of 233 seconds.
All this was on top of triumph
in the Junior l00-meter championship
last night.
Towns Runs Third.
THE Detroit youths triumph over
Towns, who conquered him in
the National Collegiate A. A. cham
pionship meet at Berkeley, Calf, two
weeks ago, was wholly earned. And
Towns defeat was so thorough that
he was forced to accept third place
behind the flying Tolmich and Ray
Staley of Southern California.
Tolmich and Staley went into a
shoulder -to-shoulder battle with the
crack of the pistol, with Towns. hold
er of the world mark at 141 seconds.
away to a slow start. Towns pulled
up even with the pace settlers AS they
slammed over the last hurdle, but
Tolmichs desperate lunge at the
finish, and one almost as good by
Staley, left the world champion in
third place.
Tolmich's time, 145 seconds, was
good considering the field ran directly
into an eight-nlile wind.
Showing signs of vearlness from
his two-day campaign, Tolmich came
up with another dazzling finish in
the low hurdles His reward was
victory by about 8 yard over Jack
Donovan OF Dartmouth and the New
York A. c., and mark that sup

Changing Fads

YNHE people in this country who have reason to feel

Parking "Racket''

Recently I had occasion to
observe at close hand the finer
workings Of a juvenile activity
that tends toward a predatory
course if steps are not taken
soon to eliminate this unwhole-

legitimate business concerns
which who honestly safeguard
cars of ball park patrons while

notation refers to the racket in
stituted by colored youngsters of
levying toll for parking on the
city's streets.
True, there is nothing novel
about the idea, as the late Capt.
Robert Emmett Doyle exerted
much effort in his attempt to
stamp it out whilst he served as
lord mayor of Washington's
Harlem, but this illicit practice
has been growing steadily since
and sooner or later a showdown
must come.

~ hospitality last Sunday that is worthy of note

on Sunday with swimming about the only sport avail

College Course on War.
Worth the Experiment.
7 EADERS of four million Brit
~ ish trade unionists, tn e
strongest single unit in British
politics, are holding their an
nual convention in Norwich,
England.
Before they are through they
will have adopted a resolution
giving Great Britain's Conserva-
tive Government something that
it would rather have than 100
battleshipS - the full backing
and support of British labor to
Britain's gigantic rearmament
program.
England's Government leaders
will accept this as a sign that it
can rely on the worker of the
country if Britain should be
compelled to go to war again.
THEREIN lies a fundamental
IA fact which ought to be
drummed into the American
mind deeper than almost any
thing else at this stage OF world
affairs, when war threatens to
engulf so many nations again.
The British workman, when
trouble faces his empire, sub
merges his own individual griev-
ances to support the policies
adopted by the national leaders,
be they conservative or not.
We in America should not be
surprised. We should not be
amazed over the fact that Brit
ish workmen, 100000 strong,
will vote to support the Govern
ment if it decides to go to war,
even though it is the British
workman who stands to lose the
most in the end.
For the basic, fundamental
thing to keep in mind is that
Great Britain, having captured
by diplomacy and force Of arms
one quarter of the worlds sur.
face and made subjects to the
King more than 40o,000,000
people, MUST fight to keep what
she has.
0NE Of the most interesting
" and courageous experiments
in education is about to be be-
gun at Hobart College. Geneva,
N. Y. A course on war will be
added to the college curriculum
in connection with its four-year
study as a prerequisite for citi-
zenShip.
It's the first of its kind ever
to be tried. The course will be
divided into three phases. First,
study of underlying causes Of
war, cultural factors, economic
conditions, struggle for markets
and nationalistic policies and
the period prior to 1918.
The second, study of the
World War, itself, neutrality
problem S, international law,
political and commercial pres
sure and propaganda. Third, the
actual state of war, conscrlp-
ton, sovereignty of state and
conscientious DIRECTORS.
WHAT Hobart College is at
w tempting is to develop an
understanding in the mind Of
youth of the cause and effect
of war, so that the coming gen.
Grafton will develop a more
clear-cut, more honest concep-
ton Of war, its why's and where
foreS.
That is a magnificent objec-
tive. The professional and anna
teur pacifist gives no thought to
the interdependence of the
world today when clamoring for
maintenance of peace. The
United States was fed the gilded
bunk that it was the only nation
that could save democracy" in
the last war. Yet any one with
any gray matter knew that our
huge financial investments on
the side of Britain and her
allies would put us into the war
on that Side-to save dollars,
not democracy. Hobart College
aims to debunk this propaganda
in the mind of youth.
But just how successful will
be this course on war remains
to be seen.

Marriage is seldom a gamble

There always will be some
people who will marry on

always will be some people who
will pull the trigger to prove
that the gun isn't loaded.
At first, an ex-husband pays
his alimony almost gladly-then
reluctantly, then resentfully, and

The world doesn't change
much. A modern girl feels just
as the girl of the Gay Nineties
felt, that a lot of devoted boy
friends are merely circumstan-
tial evidence of her charms; and
that the only incontestable proof
of her prowess is a husband
living, dead or divorced.
A woman can recall each man
she ever thought she loved. with
a different sort of emotion: but
a man mentally pours all his
past loves together in the same

them away in the refrigerator
