 Third, the ice on the shorter float is about four inches thick and at present time nothing has been done about it. Already the end of this float is sinking. An other snowfall on top of this ice will accomplish it's purposes. Fur ther, it also comes to point where adequate Lction is necessary! II the city cannot obtain man 1o maintain the floats during the win ter months I am sure it can apply other means for such. However, feel that this vital of import ance" should be in the hands ot our city councilmen, harbor com mittee members and others con- cerned. And to the men only who talk about our float conditions may 1 suggest that petition would almost solve the problem. As tax payers it is your duty to do so!

Phone Company
Rates In La.
Remain Same

An order of the Louisiana Pub
lie Service Commission cutting
rates of the Southern Bell Tele-
phone Company in that state has
been ruled illegal by Judge Cald-
well Herget of Louisiana District
Court. The order makes perma-
nent an introductory injunction
issued earlier this year to keep
the PSC from reducing the tele-
phone rates.
Pending any further legal ac-
ton, Southern Bells Louisiana
rates will remain as they are,
since the court also declined to
allow an increase requested by
Southern Bell.
A rate increase requested for
Southern Bell also is pending in
Mississippi. Southern Bell in
creased rates in this state on July
rs under a bonding arrangement
and testified in hearings at Jack
son in August that an additional
increase is needed to provide a
fair return.
Hearings on the Mississippi case,
recessed since September IA,
were resumed on Monday at

was estimated at 100000 pounds
81 per cent higher than last year,

porting service said. The service

colonies this year. compared with
$4,000 last year. Average yield
was estimated at "A pounds this

DeCoubertin was tireleS in pre-
pairing the ground by travel and
conferences. At length, on April
6, 1896, the first Olympic Games
were opened in Athens. 1t was
fitting that the renascence took
place in Greece, and an elegant
stadium had been erected in the
lovly city of Athens for the oc-
casion. There were 100-meuer,
4O0-meter, broad, high, and triple
jumps; shot-put; pole Vault; dis
cus-throw; weight-lifting; fenc-
ing; swimming; shooting; tennis;
wrestling; gymnatics; and, most
important, the Marathon.
Though Greeks filled the sta
dunn and the adjoining hillsides,
not one foot-race went to
Greek, and there was general
mourning in Athens = until the
Marathon. This race was run
over the same 40 kilometers
traversed by Philippines when he.
brought word Of the great victory
over the Persians at Marathon to
anxious Athens in 400 BIC. "A
shepherd from MARQUIS. Spiri-
don Loues, competed sole out Of
his conviction that he mi I save
the honor of Greece. He won.
And second, third, fifth, sixth.
and seventh places in the Mara
thon were all won by Greeks. In
gratitude, Loues was offered the
free lifetime services of a Greek
barber, shoeblack, tailor, and
reStaurateur.
At these First Olympics, teams
were present officially and un-
officially The United States had
no official body authorized to
send team. Nevertheless we
were so we'll represented that we
won nine out Of twelve track and
field events, and two out of the
i've shooting events.
At the Second Olympics in
Paris, 1900, it was not until the
Americans competing there had
received their medals that they
discovered they had been COM
peting in an Olympic meet. They
had thought the evnets were
simply part of the international
Exposition De Coubertin's COM
patriots were so little interested
in athletics at that stage that
there was no cinderpath for the
races; and the discus, when
thrown, landed in a grove of
trees. Nevertheless, Olympic his
tory was a-making. Ten new
events were added, including
steeplechase rases, standing
jumps, hammer throw, tug-of-
war, polo, bowling and yachting.
The hero of the Third Olym-
pics, held at st. Louis, Missouri
in 1904, was a diminutive Gu
ban mailman, Felix Caravajal.
With no experience as an athlete,
he determined he would win the
Marathon for Cuba. Resigning
his post, he ran about the great
square in Havana until he COL
lected a crowd to whom he could
annual for funds ~ card him IN
st. Louis. Upon his arrival in
New Orleans. he was at once
swindled out of his meager capt.
tai in game of dice. Walking
and running most of the way,
he landed in st. Louis starved
and ragged. Friendly athletes
there fed him. AT the starting
place, one of them cut off the
long sleeves of Caravajafs shirt.
