PROVIDENCE, R. l., July 13.-
After reporting the results of the
U. S. Olympic women's final track
and field tryouts, Mrs. Catherine D.
Meyer of NapleWood, N. j., chair
woman of that groups committee,
today found herself limited to an
11-girl team for the nine feminine
events on the international game
program.
But she had hopes that an appeal
to higher authorities on her arrival
in New York later today will result
in providing funds for the addition
of seven others she rates as worthy
of carrying the U. S. shield in the
London competition.
Olympic berths already have been
awarded to the following:
Audrey Patterson, Nashville,
Tenn. 100 and 20O-meter runs; Nell
Jackson, Tuskegee Institute, 200
meter rum Bernice Robinson, Chi
cago, 80-meter hurdles and high
jump: Theresa Manuel, Tuskegee
Institute, 80-meter hurdles and jaw
elm; Mable Walker, Tuskegee Insti-
tute. 1O0-meter run.
Alice Coachman. Albany, Ga, high
Jump Emma Read Nashville, Tenn,
broad and high jumps; Mrs. Frances
Kaszubski, Cleveland, discus and
shotput; Mrs. Dorothy Dodson,
Mundelein. Ill, discus, shotput and
javelin; Lillian Young, Chicago, 100
meter run; Mae Faggs, New York,
200-meter run.
Others Sought for Team.
The seven additional athletes to
be recommended for appointment
are Bessie LEIGH and Jean WalraVen,
North Olmsted, Ohio; Pomona
Harris, New York; Little Purifoy and
Mary Griggs, Tuskegee Institute;
Eleanor Millheiser, Brooklyn, N. Y,
and Pauline Ruppeldt of Philadel-
phia.
In the meantime the women's
committee has submitted Misses
Patterson, Jackson, Faggs, Robinson,
Manuel, Coachman, Young and
Walker as eligible for the four-girl
4OO-meter relay team that will be
chosen after the team arrives in
England.
During the final tryouts that ran
into pitch darkness at the Brown
University Stadium last night, two
National AAU records were bettered
and new American half-mile
medley relay mark was set as Mes
danes Kascubski and Dodson Wed
for the top individual honors.
The Cleveland housewife, who won
two National AAU titles at Grand
Rapids, Mich. last week, dominated
the shot put and discus COMPETE
tions with throws of 80 feet 8A
inches respectively.
Mrs. Dodson, who has held the
National javelin title for the past
10 years, made a 140-foot 4-inch
throw in that event. That spec
tacular performance was 10 inches
better than the National AAU rec
ord Mrs. Babe Didrikson Zaharias
made back in 1882 In addition, the
young Illinois matron finished Sec
ond in both the shot and discus.
Relay Record Bettered.
When officials ended the compe-
tition because of darkness, Miss
Coachman was about to attempt to
get over the Olympic high jump
record height of 5 feet 5l4 inches,

A. =. Era Started
By Charles III

The notation AD. (from the Latin
Ammo Domini-in the year of our
Lord) was started by Charles III
of Germany, who affixed it to the
years Of his reign in a79.
The Christian era begins on jan
uary 1st in the middle Of the 4th
year of the 194th Olympiad. the 753d
year of the building of Rome, and
in Alta of the Julian period. The
era, and its system of dating the
years proceeding the birth of Christ
and dedicating the succeeding years
to His greater Glory, was invented
about 532 by monk, Dionysius Ex-
tingius-sometimes called Denys lie
Petit.
introduced in Italy during the
sixth century, the system was not
extensively employed until its use
was prescribed for bishops by the
Council of Chelsea (Middlesex, Eng
land) in Sic and made its debut in
world affairs under the sponsorship
of Charles III.

Brazil New Years
4 Summer Holiday

New Years Day (Dia de Ammo
Bom) is truly a Red Letter Day in
Brazil: in keeping with the hos
pitality and gaiety universally asso-
ciated with the observance of New
Years, it is the day par excellence
for parties, enthusiastic greeting,
and general celebration.
Dia de Ammo Bonn is the middle
day" of the Brazilian holiday season
which begins on Christmas Eve and
climaxes on Epiphany. Christmas
itself does not stand out as a time
of merrymaking so definitely as 1t
does among the Anglo-Saxons: the
colorful and impressive Christmas
professions are part of the church
festival; in the realm of gift-giving,
misunderstanding the gifts
which the Wise Men brought the In
fant Jesus-vies with and even holds
a slight edge over Christmas, espe-
cially among the children.
Since it is really June in JAN
uary south of the equator, the Christ
mas season falls in Midsummer in
stead of during the winter, a fact
which has endowed the holidays with
many characteristics of Summer
time festivals. In many cities re-
iigious and civic organizations spon-
sor opea-air "festas." These affairs
are attended by throngs of people
representing all classes of the popu-
lation, gifts are distributed to under
privileged children, while music,
flags, and flowers contribute to the
general gaiety and festivity.
In land where all festivals are
endowed with several sets of Gus
toms-those assimulated through
foreign intercourse, ETC., superim-
posed upon the ancient traditions
brought from Portugal-New Years
Day is included in the list of Brazil's
national holidays and is appropri-
ately designated as the day of uni
versal brotherhood

country of Siam, April /, you'd find

S. In Arabia, the Mohammedan

8. September 10 is New Years in

New Years day has been observed

where and at all periods it has been
a day of rejoicing.
