“what ‘point the upward price of silver e PAGE EIGHT OLD BEATEN TRACKS ARE TO BE AVOIDED IN TRAINING TEAM That Will Represent tl';e United States Emblem in Antwerp By Henry L. Farrell (United Press Correspondent) New York, Feb. 20.—Old, beaten \racks are to be avoided by the Amer- jcan Olympic committee in training the team that will carry the United States emblem to Antwerp this sum- mer. i Sidetracking the old single coach- inw system is one of the innovations being favored as the first step in the policy of appyling modern efficiency and new methods in the training of ithe team. Everett C. Brown, Chicago, mem- per of the committee, favors the se- lection of a coach from every section of the nation that is to have candi- dates for the team. He suggests the appointment of a head coach and trainer to, be helped by a staff of assistants who are fami- jlar with the men who will be select- ed to keep the world’s athletic su- premacy in America. - Too many administrative duties, he points out, fall upon the shoulders of the head coach. He hasn’t the time to take an individual interest in selection .of the team. The committee, faced by more ur- gent business in arranging the pre- liminaries, has not given much thought to the selection of a coach. The services of a team coach, the ‘committee, believes are not impera- tive until the time just preceding the eslegtion of the team. owever, most of the Olympic talk now concerns the candidates for the trainer’s position. Numerous elig- jbles are being recommended by their sectional followings. Lawson Robertson, coach of the Uinversity of Pennsylvania and assis- tant to the late Mike Murphy at Stockholm, has a big following that wants to see him selected. H. W. Maloney, coach of Leland Stanford University, California, who trained 1he Yankee team for the Inter-Allied g!mes in ‘Paris, is another favorite. Jack Moakley, of Cornell and “Pooch” Donovan of Harvard like- wise are being mentioned. . “Bvidently we have more trainers for the team than we have athletes,” |- Secretary Rubien, of the A. A. U. said a few days ago. *I have had more inquiries about the trainer’s job than anything else in connection with the team. It seems to me that it is a secondary matter to the selection of the athletes and the financing of the trip to Belgium.” “Most of, the men selected will train at their homes until a short time before the date of sailing and the length of time they will have over there will be so short before the opening of the games that they will not need a trainer. No member of ‘- the team will wait till he arrives in Belgium to get into condition.” “When discussing the subject of the trainer's importance to a team it will be well to consider that some . of the best athletes in the Olympic games of the past never had a pro- fessional trainer. For instance, who taught Almah Richards to jump? He learned the game himselt as well & Hannes Kohlemainen, the Finn; Jean Bouin, the Frenchman and Arnold Jackson, who won the 1300 metres run.” o SILVER SHORTAGE IS BOON TO MINES IN UNITED STATES .Ameriuq : Chamber of Com- merce in London Says Pros- pect Is Promising (International News Service) London, Feb. 20.—The silver standard in use in Oriental countries, coupled with the enormous commer- cial expansion now in course of prog- ress between the West and the east, indicates that there is an immense shortage of silver to meet the de- mands of trade says the American Chamber of Commerce in London. One result of this shortage is that American and Mexican silver mines wyay look forward confidently to an era of unprecedented prosperity for many years to come. Silver, the American Chamber understands must also be found to back over thirty billion dollars worth of paper money issues floating in Europe today, in addition to which America’s increas- ing volume of trade with India and China calls for almost unlimited sup- plies of the metal. The United States and Mexico fur- nish nearly three-fourths of the world’s yearly output of silver the larger portion coming from the for- mer. While American and British trade with the East monthly attains higher levels, Oriental exporters con- tinue to pile up balances owing them by the.Western nations, and as the price of the white metal advances it has become porfitable for most coun- tries to convert minted silver into ‘bullion. Small ‘“change,” says the American Chamber, continues to dis- .appear on the Continent with re- markabel rapidity, postage stamps largely replacing the former_silver|- coin of small value. Even without this tendency toward hoarding and conversion into bullion of minted silver, the United States is believed to be the one country in po- sition today to buy silver for coin- age without debasing its standard eoins. . Under circumstances such as these it. is impossible to foretell at will find its limit. el AS LITERATURE IS Kipling Manuscript Shows Author Pos. -sessed of at Least One Great Quality of Genius. There turned up, the other day, in a sale of manuscripts a particulariy interesting specimen of literature in the making. Mr. Rudyard Kipling sent it in typewritten copy to the editor of the National Observer, Mr. Henley, and it appeared’ under the title “Tom- linson” in January, 1892; but between the conflng of the typewritten sheets and the appearance of the printed poem a good many things happened to the manuscript, some due to the author and some to the editor. One imagines Mr. Henley editing Mr. Kip- ling, & situation which the author an- ticipated, for against certain lines he had written admonitions and dire threats, although there is no evidence to show whether Mr. Henley let the lines stand because he llked them or because he was terrified. In another ftem in the ‘same sale one sees that Mr. Kipling first wrote the poem “Cleared” in the character of an Irish- man, but when he saw it in proof he altered ‘he phonetic spelling. Whieh Indicates, incldentally, the capacity for taking pains which is an important factor in successful authorship, even If it falls to stand, despite a well- known quotation, for the whole of genlus,—Christian Science Monitor. “BABY” AIRPLANES FLY FAST Planes That Can Make Ninety-Six Miles an Hour Are Now in Use in Europe.” -Just ag the era of adult automobiles was followed by the creation of baby motorcars, 8o now in the aerial world there is an influx of baby airplanes. In the park, in the fields and in varl- ous other. open spaces minlature air- craft are having tryouts all over Eng- land. - : One of these midgees, called the “British Crow,” weighs 220 pounds, and flles with almost the speed of a full-grown airplane. Another baby, called “the pocket airplane,” 18 so small that = man can span its wings. It is 16 feet long. and the inventor, Austin Whipple, says it will achieve a speed of 96 miles an hour. A fea- ture of this baby is that it can be folded for transport and carried in- side a trunk. The French are also dabbling in lill- putign aircraft. An infant monoplane is turned out by a French firm at Gar- say with a span of a trifie more than 18 feet, thus being two feet smaller than tke “British Crow.” Fitted with a ten horsepower ABC engine, it has a speed of 62 miles an hour, and can land at the low speed of 20 miles an hour. The average retail price of these little brothers of the Capronis, Handley Pages and Vimys is from $1,- 000 to $1,200. Monumental “Toppers.”. Though there is a revival of the silk hat, which many people thought the war had made extinct as a species of headdress, few would argue that it makes a fit subject for the sculptor. Yet there - are several top-hatted statues about. One at least is in the United States. It s a statue of Presj- dent Lincoln. He is bareheaded, but his “topper,” a very unfashionable specimen, is carefully laid on the seat at his side. But perhaps the funniest specimen is in the Central square at Glasgow, Scotland. It represents a re- spected citizen, James Oswald, mem- ber of parliament, and he carries his “topper” In his right hand, held firm- Iy by the brim and upside down. The street urchins find this “topppr" irre- gistible. If the policeman is round the corner they play pitching pebbles into Mr. Oswald’s hat. Some of them are expert at the game and the hat has to be emptied of stones quite fre- quently. 4 Eight Thousand Swiss. Only 8,000 Swiss soldiers fought In the war. That number entered the French service. 1 But that is not the whole story. Out of the 8,000, 300 survived, including many wounded. The rest, 7,700, were killed. A thousand of them held up a German advance one day at Verdun; teld it up until the last man of them was killed. & About 50 years ago the story of Wil- liam Tell and the poem about Arnold von Winkelried were in most of the school readers that young Americans cut their eye teeth on. The 8,000 Swiss who fought in the war well established the right-of that story and that- poem to. remain in American school readers.—Life. Lost His Place. Old“man Bitzer conducted a farni- ture store in a neighboring town, Bitzer, like many others of his race, liked his beer, so one day between customers he stepped into the barber shop, and while waiting his turn de- cided he would have time to enter & saloon next door and have a glass of beer. On returning to the barber shop he was much vexed to find his turn taken by another, and after a few gruff remarks said to the barber: “When a man goes out and comes right away back in, is he out?” Some Ordeal. “What's the matter? You look pale and feeble.” “Been through quite an ordeal. Was up to Flubdub’s house last night.” “Well?” . “And drank some home-made wine manufactured by his wife and smoked two of his Christmas cigars.”—Louls- ville Courier-Journal. . “MADE" | THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 20, 1920 i.

According to old legends, jade has always been a very precious stone, and in “hina and ndia is said to possess a charm aghinst evil. In India it is worn as an amulet to preserve the wearer from the bites of venomous animals. The Chinese jade is the most precious of all and very difficult to obtain, as thé Chinese do not export much of it. This may be due to its rarity, but more probably it is because the stone, which they call “Quintessence of Heaven,” is considered tpo precious to send out of the country because of the charm attached to it. There are many other kinds of jade and they can be bought for very reasonable sums, but noth- Ing can equal the Chinese stone for color and transparency. R g e Funeral in Switzerland, At the death of a person in Switzer- land the famlily inserts a formal, black- edged announcement In the papers asking for sympathy, and stating that the “mourning-urn” will be ex- hibited during certain hours on a special day. In front of the house where the person died there s placed a little black table covered with a black cloth, on which stands a black jar. Into this the friends of the fam- fly drop little black-margined visiting cards, sometimes with & few words of sympathy on them. The urn is put on the table on the day of the funeral. Only men ever go to the church yard, and then generally follow the hearse on foot. 98-pound sacks of FLOUR.....,.... Attention Farmers!!
