High School Rowing Developer Succumbs Springfield, Jan. 10.—M—Edward J. Kerns, 79, credited with being the originator of high school rowing, died here today. He spent most of his life tn Worcester, where he was born, and where he developed the first high school rowing crew, which in 1597 won the intermediate eight oar- ed shell race on the Shulkille river at Philadelphia. He engaged in the building of rowing apparatus and | through this became a friend of | coaches of the leading colleges and | directors of leading athletic clubs. Aside from rowing he developed a number of aids and appllances, some | of which exerted a great influence in | their time, such as the indoor bicycle | racing machine. He was the firat to make oars by machinery and later the same device was adapted to the making of airplane struts. A glance at the Herald Classified Ads will repay you.

How Bramwell Booth was first led to take an finterest in the Salvation Amy shelters—which were the be- ginning of the most typical institu- tions connected with the army's so- cial work—is told in his own writ. ings. One morning back in the cighties he was an early caller at his father's house in Clapton, East London. “Bramwell,” cried my father, .did you know that men slept out all night on the bridges in London?" “Well, yes,” young Booth replied. “A lot of poor fellow I suppose do that.”” o No Coddling *Then you ought to be ashamed of yoyrself to have known it and to have done nothing for them,” he went on vehemently. “Go and do something; we must do something.
