THE OLYMPIC GAMES. The Olympic Games were the most famous of the four great national festivals of the Greeks. They were held every four years, in midsummer, but the date varied in accordance with the lunar changes. They were fixed as nearly as possible for what is now August 1. The origin of the games is lost in antiquity, but legend attributes them to Hercules or to Pelops, who was especially worshipped at Olympia. The official list of victories began wtih Coreobus,i who won the footrace in 776 B.C. There was only | one event in the first games of record, the foot race for men. The number of events was gradually increased as time passed. The games were allowed Byron Price, avers it will to die out in the fourth century and were not revived until 1894. | In that year, under the leadership of Baron' Pierre de Coubertin, whole-hearted French sports- man who had been studying revival of the contests for several years, the idea was put into action and two years later at Athens, the first of the modern Olympiads was held in the ancient stadium of that famous Greek city. Since then there has been a repetition every four years except in 1916 when most of the world was at death grips in war and postponement was unavoidable. The second of the series was held in Paris in 1900. St. Louis, Mo, in 1904 became the first American city to have the honor of being host to the nations entering teams in the contests. The fourth Olympiad was held in London, the next in Stockholm in 1812, Then came the hiatus due to war. After the tramp of Mars had subsided, Antwerp greeted the world's athletes in 1920 and Paris was host in 1924 for the second time. Amsterdam was the scene four years ago. The latest of these great gatherings of cham- pions of various nations and peoples opened today in Los Angeles and will continue two weeks. Despite world-wide economic disorder and attendant political disturbances, it will be the greatest of the modern Olympiads.

Important business. GUY L. SVITH, —adv, SYNOPSIS: Dissatisfied with the dullnes of social life, Sondra Kent wishes she were free to do what she wants, but knows she must continue to live with her married sister, Flora Lomax, She has no money of her own, and as her father had told her, she is attractive but unable to do anything useful. Her father had also told her to marry for money, and this helps her de- cide not to marry Mark Merri- man, whom she loves, but who has no money or prospects. John Anderson would make an ideal husband for Sondra, her sister thinks, but he is mar- ried, although not living with his wife. At the theatre with Flora and Lomax, Sondra sees both Mark and Anderson, and the Jatter says he will meet her later at the Gaspers’. She plans to ask’ Anderson to give Mark a position with his business con- nections in the Congo. Chapter 3 THE CONGO Other girls seemed not to mind the social round, Sondra thought, and seemed quite happy, buying new frocks and talking about their love affairs. Or were they, too, just keeping up a gallant game of pretense? Did they ever long for something more satisfying, as she did? And then back came the old thought— if only Mark had got some of John Anderson’s money. Life was so bitterly unfair. Sondra found herself handing her cloak to an attendant and me- chanically powdering her face. A band was playing dance music in a great room on the other side of the hall with the wailing notes “] was watching you In the theater tonight, You looked unhlppy,"' dohn told Sondra, of a saxophone pilaintively pre- dominant; there was the usual crowd of people. Sondra waited listlessly while Flora carefully retouched her lips. “Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Lomax —Miss Kent—" Sondra was sick of hearing her name announced, tacked on to Flora’s; for an instant she hesi- tated on the fhreshold of the long reception room, half inclined to run away. The evening meant nothing to her—Mark would not be there. Then with an effort she forced herself to walk on, and almost at once John Anderson was by her side. “Do you care to dance?” “Must me?” she asked with a faint smile. “I believe I'm a little tired.” “We'll do anything you wish.” “We'll sit out and talk them. ‘They crossed the room to an al- most deserted lounge where the only sounds were the splash of a tiny fountain and the distant music of the band, and Anderson stood beside her as she sank into a chair till she said with slight exaspera- tion: “Won't you sit down, too? Or must I crane my neck all the time | e. to look up at you?” He took the empty chair beside her at once. “Will you have a cigarette?” “Thanks.” In the little flare from the match BY RUB she looked at him with something that was almost animosity in her blue eyes. A good looking man, not young; a man who would command atten- tion wherever he went. Tall, well with fast graying hair, and faint lines of world weariness around his steady eyes; a firm chin and a slow smile which when it came, which was infrequent, gave him a quaintly youthful air, as if in an attempt to show the world boy he must once have been. ondra spoke suddenly. ‘How old are you?” His smile came now, as for an instant he looked at her, one brow comically raised. What very unkind question! I'm nearly 48.". Oh."” She leaned her head against the cushioned back of the chair still watching him. What's it like in the Congo?” she asked. He looked a little surprised. ‘The Congo? . I loathed it when I was a young man. The conditions are better now, of oUrRa ‘Why did you loathe it?” He shrugged his broad should- ers. ‘Home - sickness. I believe — amongst other things. The life was so different to anything I had been used to, and I imagined myself in love, too, which complicated mat- ters.” With Evelyn?” Yes, with Evelyn.” He laughed—at himself it seem- ed At any rate I never rested till I had persuaded her to come there and marry me.” “And then I suppose she loathed it, too,” Sondra said languidly. “She did. She stuck it out for three months, and then she came home, and we've never lived to- gether since, as you know.” “I wonder she has never di- vorced you.” > { “I've never given her the chance —yet.” “No? But . . . well, it seems so; futile, being tied together and yet | nothing to one another.” He said whimsically, “My dear, you forget that I'm a rich man.” She closed her eyes for a mo- ment as if to shut out something| distasteful to her. “What is the matter? Something you can tell me?” “There isn’t anything the mat- ter. Why do you think there is?” “I was watching you in the the- ater tonight. You looked unhappy.” She laughed a little. “Unhappy—or bored?” Telephone 49+ RUTH HAYES N e | CARL JACOBSON | JEWELER WATCH REPAIRING SEWARD STREET Opposite Chas. Goldstein’s .

Someone had pushed open the glass door leading back to the ball- room and the sudden glare of light fell full on Sondra’s face and her slim whitefrocked figure. Merriman had once spent many ill-afforded dollars on a'colored en- graving of Romney's most famous Lady Hamilton becausé it reminded him so vividly of Sondra. Her elusive charm, something ethereal and delicate about her, seemed a strange anomaly to those who knew her well enough to know also that she was worldly and lux- ury loving and perhaps a little too calculating. “No fear for you, my girl,” her father had told her more than once. “No matter how you look, your head will always govern your heart and land you safely on your feet.” Her head was trying to govern her heart now when presently she spoke again, looking directly at Anderson. “I want you to give Mark Merri- man a post with your people in the Congo.” (Copyrigh, 1932, by Ruby M.
