"Oh! That will be perfectly all
right" Ann managed to stammer. She
was to be salesgirl in the Dress de-
partment, in the domain of Renita
Parrish who detested her!
"Your eighteen dollars week will
continue, but l shall expect you to
show sales. Here will be an oportun
ity for your friends to come in and
buy from you. The Buyer of Misses
Dresses, Miss Shellfish, and Miss Par
rish will explain to you the excellent
qualities of certain dresses, the styles
and values and this information you
will repeat to the customers. The de-
partment has been tagging behind. 1t
requires enthusiasm. 1t needs sales
talks. You undertand."
Ann forced herself to smile.
She was being denoted, but an op-
portunity was being given her to show
the stuff she was made of. She would
make good.
He flung what was perhaps intend

gether, but the heels diverging at the
widest possible angle. Keep the hands
forward and low and carry the weight
equally on both skis.
The skis should be held almost
fiat on the snow when starting the
stem. As the skis swing into position
the ankles must be bent to keep the
skis nat. The skis must be skidded
outward.
After the skis have stemmed widely.
they may be edged slightly to secure
. greater braking effect. Do this BY
dropping the knees into q more
definitely knock-kneed position and
stiffening the ankles.
Strengthening the ankles will bring
the skis up on edge. Braking effect
depends more on the angle Of the
stem. however. than any other factor,
no matter how much the skis may be
edged. Hence, concentrate on ACHIEVE
ing as wide ''V" as possible.
If the stem position offers difficulty,
practice assuming it without skis.
Spread the feet, pushing knees for
ward and twist the heels out, carry
ing the weight on the balls of the
feet. Then try it on skis on the level,
standing on well-packed smooth snow
and with feet slightly apart. Drop
the knees forward and press out
with the heels. II the weight Is for

They're valuable properties, by any

It's only a dozen years old,

Diseases which attack golf course

Brundage Declares Japan's
Lack of Preparation Would
Cancel Games.

- H1CAGo. Jan. 12.-Either the
1910 Olympic games will be
held In Japan. or there will
be no renewal of the spectacle
two years from next summer. says
Avery Brundage. president Of the
United States Olympic Committee.
Agitation to shift the games to
Norway, Finland or some other place
because Of Japan's activities in China,
will get nowhere, Brundage said, be-
cause 1t would be impossible for
another country to properly prepare
for the Olympics in the time re-
naming.
Feeling against Japan also would
be no reason for canceling the games.
he insisted.
Sport Transcends Everything.
WHETHER our committee or ath-
w letes like or dislike Japan's mill
tary policy is beside the point"
Brundage said. "Our only concern is
to be sure that Japan IS able, in its
present situation. to make adequate
preparation for the games. It says 1t
is. The International Olympic Com
mittee has representative in Japan
studying the question and he will re-
port to the International Committees
convention in Cairo, Egypt, in March.
The associations position has been
consistent on the point that sport
transcends all political or racial con-
siderations.
We stuck to this in 1896 when there
was agitation to have America with
draw from the Berlin Olympic" he
pointed out, "and we shall not change.
"One thing Is certain. however" he
said. III Japan Is too much occupied
with its military campaign in China
to have done work that should already
have been done, there will be no trans
fer to another nation. It is too late
for that. It takes more than two
years to get ready for anything a big
as the Olympic games"
