'Tt is possible to run a mile
around four minutes fat. But we
won't see that for some time. Such
miles as Glenn Cunningham ran

4:10 or better mile today is the
toughest race on the track"
Same for Horse
"This distance goes for horse,
too," John Partridge, the veteran,
said. "The mile is the hardest race.
I mean a fast mile.
"You hear people talking about
the strain of a mile and half or
even two miles. They forget that
in these longer distances there is a
lot of half loafng. Steeplechasers
can 60 two miles or longer, carry
ing $50 pounds, taking the jumps,
without being worn down. But when
a horse runs mile around 1886 he
is going all out. He can't be saving
anything"
This recalls Johnstown's speed
and what it did to him. YOUNGSTOWN
In more than one workout beat 1884.
No other horse ever ran that fast.
"You hear a lot" an observing
old-timer said, "about the fighters
and the ball players and the football
players and other competitors from
years ago outranking present stars.
Don't believe it. Everything is get
ting better. And ! can prove it,"
"Just how?" asked.
Because everything that can be
measured or timed shows a sure
and steady improvement over old
records. New records are being set
in every sport from year to year.

Fly Is Paralysis Carrier

Discovery that common flies
carry the virus Of infantile paral-
ysis has been made by Drs. John
L. Paul and James D. Trask at
Yale university medical school.
It is now evident that poliomye-

cripples 10000 persons and kills
from 500 to 1000 every year, is a
disease Of the intestinal tract as
well as the spinal cord, and that
flies may carry the virus from

self is only an acute form of home
sickness; a bitter longing for the
old faces, the old voices, the dear
old ways. It seems to Jean and
Ann today that they never will re-
place the lost associations; but they
will, and a year from now they will
be innocently wondering how they
could ever have feared that life
would never be satisfying again.
When you do leave for short holi-
days, 60 where nice young people
go. This is one infallible way Of
making acquaintance. Boys will
dance with Jean, girls will shyly
make overtures of friendship to Ann,
and before you know it you will be
meeting mothers, discussing school
ing, and sharing plans for the au-
tumn.
When you get this far, your next
step is hard one, but think it is
perhaps the most important duty
that falls to a father and mother.
] mean the duty of drawing little
circle Of associates about your girls,
knowing something about every one
Of the young men, and sacrificing
not only your own time and COM
fort, but your own pride, in sense,
until you get things started.
By pride I mean that you must
take the hurts that youth quite un-
consciously will infiict upon you and
your plans. Mother, his own house
is just palatial!" Jean win say, when
you speak Of asking the nice Robin
son boy over to spend an evening
with you. Mother, all my friends
60 to the movies and they all ex-
pect to 60 to the movies!" Ann will

shakes, cookies and games at home.

But persevere. Ask a few young
sters to come in to celebrate-oh,
anythingl Jeans birthday. Admis-
sion day, Fourth Of July. Have pen
ellis, scratch pads and suggestions
ready. No matter how awkward
they are in starting, games will
break the ice, and when you slip
away to see to the refreshments.
they will be carrying on at a great
rate, on their own.
Make up your mind that at the
first attempt you probably will draw
seven girls and two boys; that at
the last moment the boy Jean espe-
cially likes win telephone that he
has a cold and that his mother
doesn't want him to come, and re-
sign yourself to the fact that (a)
Jean won't want Ann anywhere in
sight, (b) Ann win be raging, and
(c) not until a successful party is
over viii you get the slightest CO
operation or enthusiasm from Jean.
This is part of mothers Job.
II you can get only three friends to
come In, get three. Next time there
will be nine, and the time after that
the youngsters win form a hiking,
dramatic and dance club and Jeans
social start will be fairly launched.
With Ann it should be easier, for
she is young enough to want girl
rather than boy friends, and the
friends she makes in school surely
are going to dancing classes ON Fri
day nights, and in no time at all
she win have all the dates she can
keen.

IKE many another woman
Isabel Moore has been torn
- from her moorings this
year, and finds herself in a
strange environment. Her hus-
band was transferred to Phila-
delphia, a city which she had
never even visited before; his
working hours on a defense job
are erratic. He may be home
for dinner three nights in sue
cession, then away five, then
home again long enough to
make the family feel that things
are settling down to normal,
and then suddenly off to Mon
treal or Atlanta at a moments
notice.
The Moores have two daughters,
10 and 16, and a son, IL. The son
isn't much of a problem because he
has slipped comfortably enough into
a routine of school, Scouts, movies,
and seems not to have noticed the
change. But with Jean and Ann it
is a different story.

Brig. Gen. Denie Says
Marines Can Show Foe
Innovations Of Their Own

Years Of careful planning and
preparation lie behind Japan's sue
cessful landings on the Philippines
and in the East Indies, according
to Brig. Gen. Robert L. Denig, di-
rector of public relations for the
Marine Corps.
Gen. Denig told the Advertising
Club of Washington at its luncheon
meetinb yesterday that the we'll
laid plans of invasion reveal the
VICIOUS hypocrisy" Of Japanese lead
ers, who talked peace while prepar-
ing surprise attacks on their neigh
bors.
Innovations Developed.
A landing under enemy fire is
one of the most dangerous and
complex Of all military operations,
Gen. Denig said-one which entails
long-range planning based on pre-
else information OF the areas to be
attacked.
The spokesman admitted the Ma
rines also we're good at this type
of warfare and had developed inno-
vations of their own. He added he
would not discuss these but pre-
ferred to let the Japs learn about
them at first hand, the hard way"
Can Take "Any Pacific Island"
Gen. Denig outlined the steps
necessary to send an expeditionary
landing force by sea-how informa-
ton Is assembled and plans pre-
pared, how transports are loaded IN
secrecy with men and equipment
and dispatched in convoy, and how
the actual landing operations are
conducted.
He concluded with the words:
"Any island in the Pacific can be
taken, but remember it's quite
job"

Reid Wallace, president OF the club,
who presided at the luncheon IN

BUS PASSENGER
 HURT IN CRASH.
Mrs. KiImer Suffers In- iuries When Big Machine
 Skids Into Sign Post

Mrs. Margaret Kilmer, 30, of 68 Englewood avenue, suffered pos sibie rib and arm fractures yester- day afternoon when a c. R. & l.. Lines bus In which she was riding skidded on to the sidewalk on East Main street near Hamilton park. Other passengers escaped injury as the vehicle struck a metal sign post and narrowly missed a tele- phone pole.
 It was the second accident at the same location within 24 hours. Both we're blmaed on wet pave- ments, made more than ordinarily slippery by coating of road oil recently placed on the highway. Sunday afternoon School Commis- sioner Joseph DeLuca was injured when his car skidded at approxi- mately the same spot.
 Howard Foster, 38, of 16S West Main street, was the operator of the bus. He told Sergt. Joseph Petit and Motor Patrolman Gordon Jones that the heavy vehicle skidded out of control as he travelled east on East Main street.
 It was the second accident for C.. R. & L. busses in two weeks. Sev- eral persons were injured when a bus went out of control at Bishop and Crown streets and plunged across the sidewalk into 8 vacant lot.
