—~NOW NATIONAL HERO Fortunato Catalon Now Regarded 4 Rival of Padock Manila, July 23.—By winning the 100 and 220-yard runs at the recent Far Eastern Olympilad at Osaka, Japan, Fortunato Catalon, Filipino sprinter, won the honor of represent- ing the Phillppines at the Olymplc games to be held In Paris in 1924. Catalon has covered the .century in 9 4-5 seconds, within one-fifth of a gecond of the world's record held by Charles W. Paddock, H. P. Drew, and D. J. Kelly. Catalon, who is a farmer boy from the interior of the Island of Leyte In the Philippine archipelago, failed in his first attempt to make a school track team, and was relegated to the kitchen as a cook’s helper in ‘order to defray his expenses. His failure was in 1016 during the Fast Visayan ath- Jetic meet held in the province of Cebu. The little Filipino training and next year made the district team in the inter-district meet. His showing was good and he was given his second chance for the continued his provincial track and field team. This | time he did not disappoint his coach. He won the 100 and 120 events. It was not until 1917, however, that fhe Leyte boy won permanent recog- mition as a sprinter. In 1919, during the Far Eastern games in Manila, Catalon deteated Madono, the orack Japanese sprinter, and in the Far Bastern meet in 1921 in Shanghal, he won every event in which he started, earning the repu- tation of being the meet's greatest in- ‘dividual star. This year, while he won both his events, the time was poor, due to a heavy, muddy track. Catalon’s time for the 100 was 10 2-6 seconds, and his time for the 320 was 221-5 seconds, which low- ered the former Far Eastern record of 22 4-5 seconds, despite the condi- tion of the track. In both events, the Filipino defeated Takagl and Omura, crack Japanese sprinters, who took sedond and third, respectively, in each event. SCHOLARS ANNOUNCED. Winners of the H. P.

Strasbourg, Germany, July 27.—| | strasbourg, capital city of Alsace-Lor-| raine, and Mannheim, the inland| | Rhine port which is the chief com- | | mercial center of Baden, both are suf- | fering greatly today as a result of the | continued French occupation of the Ruhr. FKreights on the river are vir-| tually at a standstill, and the tourist | | traffic of other days is no more, Hence docks are deserted and hotels empty. Strasbourg’s factories are almost all |closed down. The canal connectiig | the city with the Rhine is filled with |1dle ships. There is little activity on | the railroad yards, and few trains | cross the bridge. Tourists have turned | to other routes, where travel is easler |and not subject to military interfer- | ence, and the local hotels and cafes |are empty. With its 300,000 inhabi- | tants, Strasbourg is in a sad plight,| |and can be likened to a deserted or-| | phan. In Mannheim miles and miles of warehouses are closed and guarded by French soldiers in helmets and khaki fleld uniforms. Hundreds of idle ships and barges line the canals and the banks of the huge inner harbor, while the extensive railroad vards are filled | and freight! | with dead locomotives cars. | The streets of the city are relative- |1y deserted. Hundreds of factories |are working only on part time, and | the owner of every good automobile has sent it away in fear of confisca- | tion by the French, Mannheim, with its population of a quarter of a mil-| lon, is llstless and fearful of the fu- ture, and seems like a city that haa} gone to sleep. | WILL INVESTIGATE CANADA'S RICHES Engineers to Make Pilgrimage to Heart of Mineral Riches | New York, July 27.—Mining en- gineérs from this and other countries wil make their summer pligrimage next month to the heart of Canada's mineral riches.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 1928, EDUCATING ADULTS papers will be presented by A, ¥, Mes- | ton of New York and Ollver U, Brad- ley of Muskgee, Okla. “The average man of the street if asked what minerals of commercial value were found anywhere near New York,” Secretary . F. Sharpless of the Institute said, “would probably answer, ‘coal and possibly some iron.' * It is scarcely reallzed by the aver- age citizen that within 24 hours' ride from New York, just a short distance north of the Lakes, lie the deposits from which nearly all the nickel of the world comes from; then, on a lit- tle further to the northeast, the rich- est sllver mines that the world has ever known are still producing; and then again a little further to the northwest we come to what promises to be one of the most interesting gold developments of the present century. ““The Hollinger mine is today prob- ably the most important gold pro- ducing mine of the world, Near it are the highly profitable Dome and MelIntyre mines. Then passing on to the east down into Quebec, there are the ashestos mines which are today furnishing the bulk of the asbestos being imported into this country. “The Porcupine Gold District and the country lying to the east of it are attracting considerable attention at present and the American engineers whose duty it is to advise in respect to them will take this opportunity to famillarize themseives a little further with the districts that are dally refer- red to in the public press.” MUCH SAVING IN CANADA Money Deposited Amounts to $146 for Every Man, Women and Child in § th d: ti Ci the Dominton.
