WANT AMERICA
REPRESENTED
AT ANTWERP
NEW YORK, July 8 (by Associated
Press).—While all the members of
the American Olympic committee are
working individually and collectively
to have the United States represented
at Antwerp, Belgium, by the very best
teams procurable on this side of the
Atlantic, many other countries
throughout the world are endeavoring
just as earnestly to secure worthy
representatives to take part in the
Olympic contests.
King Alexander of Greece, the birth
place of the Olympic games, has per
sonally accepted the presidency of the
Hellenic committee and is taking upon
himself much of the responsibility of
turning out a Greek team that will
do honor to ancient athletes of that
country. King Alexander, who is an
ardent sportsman, has arranged a pre
liminary credit of 300,000 drachmas
which is fully 50 per cent more than
that allowed by the Greek government
to pay the expenses of the Hellenic
participation in the Antwerp competi
tions.
Word comes from Belgium that the'
athletes there, who for many years i
have taken an extraordinary interest:
in bicycling, are training hard with a (
view to winning the cycling events of j
the seventh Olympiad. Throughout:
the entire country, which is said to
possess probably more bicycles per j
unit of population than any other con
tinental nation except Holland, cyclists
are practising in elimination trials,
along the most perfect roads, which
I
can be found almost any place in Bel
gium.
Many goods results have been ob
tained at the preliminary trials for
Swedish sportsmen intending to par
ticipate in the forthcoming games, and
what is said to be a new world’s rec
ord has been created by Tor Henning
swimming 200 meters breaststroke in
2 minutes, 58 4-10 seconds. Another
good performance was the swimming
of 500 meters in 7 minutes, 17 5-10
seconds, by Aine Borg, who estab
lished a new Swedish record.
From Sydney. New South Wales,
comes the report that James Paddon
has decided to claim the world’s scull
ing championship by forfeit, on the
grounds that the holder, Alfred Fel
ton, refused his challenge for a race
before accepting the challenge of Bar
ry of England.
Racing at Ruhleben, Germany, the
spot which gained notoriety during the
war as an internment camp for British
civilians, was resumed this year after
an interval of six years. Superstitious
people wrere impressed by the fact
that the Ruhleben cup wras won by:
a horse named Monarchist. |
STRONG DRAMA IS
ATTRACTION TONIGHT
An entire change of program is
booked for tonight only at the Em
press. Elsie Ferguson, supported by
Thomas Meighan in “Heart of the
Wilds,” an Artcraft special production
production directed by Marshal T. Nei
lan, will be the feature presented.
The scenes are laid in the Canadian
northwest, where the mountains touch
the sky, and life is in the raw. Thomas
Meighan fits ideally itno the character
of the famous Canadian mounted po-j
lice, and Elsie Ferguson is as beauti
ful in Nature’s setting, as when sur
rounded by the splendors with which
her productions are usually staged.
The types are all well drawn and the
fact that the picture is directed by
Neilan guarantees its perfection in
every detail.
The plot is strong and the action
swift, keeping interest well sustained. I
As a whole, it is a forceful drama of
the great outdoors, magnificently
handled. The program is completed
by one of those two-reel Mack Sennett
V
comedies that means a laugh a sec
ond, and then some.
Friday and Saturday night a big
Metro special in seven reels, “The
Great Romance,” with Harold Lock
wood, will be presented. This is the
last picture produced by this popular
young star, and, as is fitting, it is his
masterpiece. In it he has the role of
the fine, enthusiastic, typical young
American, high minded and ambitious.
He creates a character in “The Great
Romance” that standa^as a monument
to the memory of this well beloved
artist, whose loss was mourned by all
lovers of the silent drama.
WESTERN CEDAR
SHINGLES SENT
TO ALL STATES
The district forester at Portland has
given out the results of a study which
shows that western red cedar shin
gles from Oregon and Washington are
shipped to every state in the union.
The report shows that Minnesota is
the largest single purchaser of Wash
ington shingles, while California is
the biggest buyer of Oregon shingles.
The middle western states are very
heavy buyers, w'hile about 8 per cent
of the total sales go to the southern
states.
Oregon and Washington produced
6,500,000,000 shingles in 1919, or 2,000,
000,000 more than in 1918. The cut
for 1919 was less than that for 1916
or 1917, and far below' that for 1909.
Western red cedar is the leading
shingle wrood in the United States.
Shingles manufactured from this wood
in Oregon, Washington and British
Columbia represented 85 per cent of
the total production of the country.
Shingles are also made from cypress,
w'hite cedar, redwood and yellow' pine.
Douglas fir shingles were manufac
tured commercially in 1919, largely be
cause of the scarcity and high cost of
western red cedar logs.
Shingle production in 1919, like that
of 1918, was not normal. The first
quarter, following closely after me
armistice, was quiet. Toward the
close of the second quarter the de
mand for shingles became strong.
This, however, was closely followed by
a car shortage that was felt during
the remainder of the year.
Meantime, the price of shingles ad
vanced, more than doubling by the end
of the year. The cost of shingle logs,
labor and supplies advanced also; this 1
taken in connection with the other ad
verse conditions, being unfavorable for
normal production, forest officers say.
The effect of the depletion of the sup
ply of western red cedar is noticeable.
Washington produced 9,000,000,000
shingles in 1909 as against 6,000,000,
000 in 1919. This decline is apparently
due, the report shows, to the fact that
the supply of cedar at the higher ele
vations is not so large as along the
river bottoms and lowlands. The re
port is authority for the statement
that in British Columbia, where fewer
shingles have been cut, production has
increased 300 per cent in the last ten
years. Production in Oregon, amount
ing to about one-third of a billion per
year, has not changed materially for
several years.
