Because he has q cool head on

coach 1t his side. young Les
MacMitchell won't try for the
National A.A.U. indoor title at
Madison Square Garden Satur-
day night.
You might expect Les and
Coach Emil Won Filing Of New

the championship, especially
before q home town crowd. The
boy has beaten the best In the
business three straight, two
nights ago in time that eQualled
the competitive indoor record Of
4 minutes "a seconds.
Sure, we know now that Les
can beat the field" says Won.
That's one reason he won't run
the mile this week. Remember,
he's only 20. He has years Of
running ahead Of him. I'd hate
to see the boy burn himself
out"
So MacMitchell, taking every
thing Won advises ~ gospel, will
sacrifice personal ambitions to
anchor N.Y.U.s distance medley
team. Not only will IL be .
bit easier on the boy, but vic
tory here will mean four gold
medals for N.Y.U. instead Of the
single one he'd win In the mile.
Won Filing, incidentally, takes
the blame for the narrow squeak
MacMitchell had in the New
York A. G. mile.

which must be done under cover.
Last August, when wood-gas car
buretors were introduced into Fin
land, the state appointed a commit
tee to find means to finance their
purchase. This committees recon.
mendation, to set up a guarantee
company in which the state would
take part, was carried out by the
establishment in October Of a joint
stock company, Wood-Gas Generator
Credits, Inc, which extends credits,
up to a maximum Of 70 per cent Of
the cost. toward the purchase Of the
new carburetors.
The ministry Of supply and trans
port also appointed a technical COM
mittee to work on improvements
and notifications Of the carburetors.
The state granted 100000 to start
this work.
Although the development Of wood
gas in Finland thus far has been a
temporary expediency it may have
future as fuel in the motor world.
In that case, Finland, according to
the Finnish experts, with her wealth
of forests, would be in the first rank
of motor-fuel producing countries.
At all events, she would be indie
pendent as far as her own auto traf-
fic is concerned.

the last war was over he had an
nounced that he'd cheer the boys to

steak and onions. But when he tried
it after seeing some draftees march
by, the steak didn't taste. He want
ed to know what folks, too old to
join the army could do for national
defense. The President said he
would announce plan soon. That
plan is based on report submitted
by a committee, the chairman Of
which is Mrs. Florence Kerr, assist
ant WPA commissioner here.
Later I asked Mrs. Kerr about it.
This was her reply:
There are social defense jobs to
be done in every home town in
America. From border to border
and coast to coast communities need
more services in health. welfare, ed
ucation, recreation. Everywhere
there are things to be done to make
America a better place in which to
live"
