PADUA, Italy, April 6 (by mail).—
There was a stirring scene in the cen
tral square of the city on a recent
Sunday when the American Red Cross
began its sale of garments made by
the wives and daughters of Italian sol
diers at the front. The great square
of United Italy was crowded with
peasant women for miles around,
eager to obtain some of the garments,
for, besides giving employment to the
women, the Red Cross sells the prod
uct at a small nominal price to the
families of soldiers. A file of car
binieri was required to keep back the
throng, and the rush for the sales
counters was so great that Captain
Thwaits, the American official in
charge, was obliged to adopt the plan
of issuing numbers to the buyers.
The work-rooms where several hun
dred women are employed during 'the
week was cleared for the sale, and
long counters were piled high with
dresses, blouses, children’s suits and
undergarments, and all the miscella
neous articles of an extensive women’s
furnishing establishment. The sales
women were drawn from the best
known families of Padua, with Coun
tess Papapava and other titled women
adjusting pinafores on peasant chil
dren and meeting the demands of the
anxious buyers.
in the two Hours of the opening sale
the peasant women had bought 3,000
lire worth of garments, a large sum
for iieople of scant means. The goods
were worth two or three times that
amount, and represented several thou
1 sand lire paid in wages by the Re
Cross to the hundreds of girl work
ers. Evpry worker and every buyei
must show a card establishing relu
tionship with a soldier, and the work
is kept as one of of military utility.
Later in the day the results of the
sale were apparent on the main
streets, as the peasant- women, with
their children, went proudly by wear
ing their Red Cross garments, which,
in a way, have transformed the ap
pearance of many of these people, giv
ing them an air of cleanliness and
comfort.

ATHLETES BEING
TAUGHT TO BSE
SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.—The
announcement that the University of
Washington has fallen in line with a
number of other institutions and in
cluded grenade throwing as one of
the regular field events has renewed
the discussion as to the probable after
effects of the war on athletics. There
are followers of track and field sports
who express the opinion that there
may be a revision in the list of events
by the inclusion of more utilitarian
events to replace those which have
no particular usefulness.
A former Princeton university ath
lete, in speaking of the matter, said:
“The case of the hand grenade
throwing contest is a good example
of what may follow. It would in all
probability supplant the shot put or
javelin throw. The shot put is not
an all-’round developer, in my opin
ion. It builds only a small portion of
the body, confined particularly to the
arm and shoulder muscles of the hand
used in hurling the missile. No ac
curacy is required, distance being the
only thing to be attained by the con
testant.
urenade throwing calls for both
distance and accuracy. It also would
be a utilitarian event, for the reason
| that thousands of young men inci
j dentally would be learning how to
throw a missile which has become
one. of the most important weapons of
offense and defense in modem war
fare.
“The hammer is another event for
which a substitution might be ef
fected by borrowing from the list oi
events used in military games. There
is nothing particularly spectacular in
events for the onlooker such as is
afforded, for instance, by the pole
vault, one of the most thrilling of the
present field events. Javelin throw
ing would have served the same pur
pose as grenade throwing today. But
the javelin is now obsolete.
It is not likely that anyone wants
to do away with the spectacular, but
events which are neither spectacular
nor of any particular use might be
supplanted with competition which
furnished a little of both these ele
ments.
