His favorite form of increasing the efficiency of the United States Secret Service was to grab his hat, bolt out, the White House door, trailed by the oldtimer oC the Executive Mansion bodyguard, Joseph E. Murphy, and his trusty men. and lead them on a wild cross-country hike over the hills and dales of the country about the national capital. In foiling of the trials and tribulations of Murphy-shadow-man of Presidents the well-known writer says: "I asked Murphy one day about some of Roosevelt's athletics, and he said: 'You had to be in line shape to keep up to Roosevelt.

Looevelt used, to take diplomats and army men and put fhem through their pace. He would walk them out to Hock Creek Park, about five miles from tlie center of the town, and just -when they ready to quit, after the walk, Roosevelt; would start in. He would climb down cliffs, lie would take them 'to a. ravine where they would have to haul themselves up over the rocks by their hands. Then he.

would dash at the creek. He knew where all the deep holes were. 'His guests would always have to follow him, if they wanted to keep in his good graces. He would ford the creek in this way half a dozen times during an afternoon. We would always follow him, of course, but I've seen moVe than one famous man drop out of the chase.

With his clothes wet, he would start back for town, walking at a terrific speed. When he got within two miles of the White House he would break into a run. We always kept up with him. We were in fine physical shape in those days. He never laughed at us for the hardships be was putting us through.

He never seemed to notice whether we wouud up panting or not. He seemed to take it for granted that we would be with him and that he couldn't shake us.

Girls At THE Sokolska Jednota Blesk, at the J1 i. is a great factor in building healthy bodies and minds among the children and young men find women of their nationality. The sturdy Bohemians of Northeast Baltimore, sending their children to the gymnasium, generally at the age of about 6, take pride in the institution. The membership, those who take an active' part in gymnastics, numbers about 200 children, boys and girls; about Jo young women and 50 young men. The instructor, Trof.

Frank Stetka, who has seen about 25 years' service in his work, has turned out some of the best gymnasts and all-round athletes in the coun try. No effort is made to specialize any particular branch of sport, the aim being to produce men who can hold their own in all branches of sports. On Tuesdays and Fridays, from to 8.30 P. M.r Professor Stetka devotes his attention to the boys, starting with about 15 minutes in free-hand exercises, followed bv simple stunts on the horizontal or parallel bars, flying rings or horse. Then comes basketball or indoor baseball for the rest of the period.

By this time the young men have assembled for their biweekly exercises which follow the general lines above described, however, being much more advanced, and each of the three classes having its own leader, elect- ea for one year, and all being under the supervision of Professor Stetka. Girls' and ladies' nights, Wednesdays and Saturdays, are devoted to fancy drillinc. free-hand exercises, high jump, rarojpd jump aniraes, -tbe; graceful beauty with which all ot tnese exercises are executed amply proving the great benefits derived. Each year those who have become pro ficient their work are advanced to a higher grade, until, having completed the course and taken part in the several pub lic exhibitions and tournaments which are held each year in Baltimore and ether cities (to which representatives are sent), are awarded diplomas, in addition to whatever individual honors they may have been able to acquire. The gymnasium is now being improved and modernly equipped, with a view to placing teams in the field iu all branches of sports, including basketball, track and baseball.

There will also be representa tives of the S. J. B. in high jump, broad jump, pole vault, shotput and hammer throwing. Many people have an idea that these Bohemian gymnasts are different from any others and cannot imagine that they spend their entire leisure time in the promotion of this work.

A brief history of Its origin among these peoples will not be amiss. About 50 years ago, when the Czechoslovaks, or Bohemians, were serfs under Austria, Jan Fuegner and Miroslav Tyrs, two of their leaders founded a branch of "Sokols," as they are called, for physical development of their nation, be held in New York in the near future, the aim being to secure the best all-round athletes among the Sokols in the entire United States to compete with those in Europe.

And almost every letter contained a check or money order for the pinto beans.

liufus Wallingford is now en route to the New Mexico penitentiary, and Sheriff Fox, having allowed the game to continue until the identity of the prisoner was revealed, is refunding the victims' checks. Strolling down; a Lyons street last summer munching peanuts, he stole a purse belonging to Mrs. Harry Livingston the car. Two hours later he was captured by Sheriff Fox with the Livingston money in 'his overalls and still munching peanuts. In his possession was found a stolen shotgun belonging to W.

C. Weibe, also a quart of chloroform and. a spray such as burglars use. Simultaneously with his sentence to jail for petit larceny his Jules Verne irav agination became active. Composing a five-line advertisement, he asked Sher iff Fox to post it to a well-known maga zine which that official, after reading it; obligingly did.

In a short time checks for the alfalfa seed began to arrive in every mail. These De Your 'had deposited to his credit iu a Lyons bank. Then one morning a mongrel houn' dawg followed the Sheriff into the jail corridor and remained there ufter the officer left. And presto De had another idea. Writing to a ranchman in New Mexico, the former convict described in irresistible language the merits and highly trained efficiency of a pedigreed shepherd dog he owned, which, as he was selling his big cattle ranch, he had no further use for and which he would let this New Mexican have for $25.

The dog left the jail the next day, brt within a week the ranchman sent a $25 check, which De Vour deposited with his constantly mounting balance. Then, the first of the month coming around, DeVour recalled a little formality required of every penitentiary warden. Ignorant of the fact that his mail was being regularly opened by Sheriff Fox, he wrote the warden of the New Mexican Penitentiary. He advised him that he had saved $400 since hte parole, was living in Lyons, where he had employment in the i.alt mines and where, by his skill and exemplary conduct, he had been made mine superintendent and given an automobile and control of a gang. Sheriff Fox, having obtained the information he sought, slipped a note into the letter telling the warden a few additional details, and this week a deputy arrived to take the jail financier back to the penitentiary.

In the meantime DeVour had continued to demonstrate the efficiency of advertising by another two-line reader, in which he offered for sale 6,000 pounds of pinto beans at 6 cents a pound. In response he received something like a bushel of mail, all of which the Sheriff's office is carefully sorting out and re- turning to the writers. a. a for a VicttroHa Model Slmll arly pleasing low prices on all other models of Ylctrolas. v.

Indeed, while the lectures were primarily intended to benefit the many new members of the organization. it is no less a part of the club's policy to encourage the playing of chers in the colleges of Baltimore, as well as by those who, for various reasons," may be unable to affiliate with Chess Association. The lecture ntoct Friday will be" delivered by Mr.

J. II. Evans. well known iu chess circles as one of the foremost players ot the State; Tlje firM problem-solving tourney ever held i Maryland took place on Washington's, Birthday at the Baltimore Chess -uruler the auspices of the Good Companion Chess Problem Club. the event was icterestine and drew a large audience, its1 success was somewhat marred by the failure of a number of the entries to appear.

Many of the spectators seemed to want to gt in, but the fame of the Good Companions as problem solvers caused cold feet. Had they been able to foresee the result, there would no doubt have many more entries, as first prize was won by Joseph Glatt, a young chess player who had. never before been heard of as a problemist. Mr. Glatt has only been playing chess a couple of years, and has recently been distinguishing himself in play at the association.

Among the many clever young players the Baltimore club has gathered iu Glatt is among the most promising. Second prize was won by Mr. Arthur Hale, who is not only a Good Com-pion but a member of the Baltimore and Washington clubs. He has for many years been known as an able and distinguished chess player, and it was expected that he would be in the lead at the finish. It should interest Baltimoreans to learn that one of the visitors to the tournament, a man who has played in all the great clless clubs of the country, was hoard to remark: "Baltimore has the best chess club I have seen.

The quarters of the rich old Manhattan are not to be compared with it either in furnishings light or space.

The organization of Sokols has kept up its gymnastic work and new branches have sprung up in all cities of the United States each maintaining a gymnasium for the development of the younger generation. They believe that a clean mind and a sound body arc the greatest assets in life. At a convention each year the next city for their tournaments is selected, to which representatives of all branches are sent to compete in all kinds of athletics and gymnastics. Periodically there are international tournaments In the old country to which a crack Bohemian-American team is sent. The next tournament will be held in Prague in June of this year, and three men from Baltimore have already been selected to take part in the elimination contests to Phipps to study, treat and prevent tuber- culosis, expenses for a stipulated term of years were defrayed by the pionee steel- maker.

This term expired last year. Because of illness, Mr. Phipps has been unable to continue his interest. The institute never has been endowed. With-1 out guarantee for running expenses, the doors must be closed.

The University of Pennsylvania, itself needing has no funds for Phipps Institute. It has been said that the institute has served as a leader in the development of antituberculosis work'in the United States. Its sphere, primarily, has not been that humane but relatively local work pertaining to the care of individual but the educational and scientific investigative work' that, within a reasonable time, is expected to wipe out from the world the menace of tuberculosis.

Well in the 1st place they's been a couple of funny incidences in regards to ithe telephone like for inst. the other jnight I. was setting in the liveing rm. Eraonking with a deck of cards when I thought I heard the telephone bell ring Sand I went out to answer it and says j.ello and they wasn't nobody answered so I kind of jiggled the hook up and griown and finely a lady's voice says num-ffjcr and I says I don't want no vou rang here. "Well," says, the voice, "trey's.

nobody on the line." fDculale Evidence Of Occult. Well, for a minute I didn't know what think but finely I puled" myself to-S'tlier and went back in the liveing rm. C- iand I hadn't no sooner than got there Cwhen my Mrs. says who was it, so I Jjiaid "Did you think you heard the telephone bell ring?" So she says didn't hink sot I know so," So I says "Well -4 heard it too. but when I went there yiliey wasn't nobody on the line." So iiere my friends was a incidence where i utvo people agreed that the telephone hell had rang and yet when I come to it they "ween't nobody there so jhow can you for a incidence like only on a occult basis you might say.

Another incidence connected with the come off in this same house a ifew wks. before the above. They's a friend of ours lives in New Itochelle but haven't lived there long enough- to get their name in the suburban dream book too 1 day my Mrs. wanted to talk to this Iparty so without thinking she called up and says Information please and it wasn't only 5 or 10 minutes when a Joice come to her over the wire and says is Information" and my old lady Sfainted away as it was the 1st time she Siad ever had direct communication with the dead.

Well we laughed and Jtoked about it and past it over with a fmile, but the next night when we didn't ghave no guests, the lights went out about sjthe same time and three nights later sthey done the same thing again. It is the gen. belief that most of these Siigns and incidences comes off in the flight time but once in a wile they's 1 af them happens in day light like for iansfc, I got up the other A.

Apparently, nothing but a golden shower can avert falling of the health stronghold, and no such meteorological phenomenon has been forecast. The disease is tuberculosis, and the citadel the Henry Phipps Institute of Philadelphia, one of the scant half dozen institutions in the world endeavoring by scientific and intensive research to discover and end the cause of tuberculosis. Today the institute, part of and under the guidance of the University of Pennsylvania, has but enough money to keep running three months. Then, it now appears, the doors must bo closed and its work for public health ended. Phipps Institute, like its foster mother, the University of Pennsylvania like Harvard and Princeton and many other, colleges, is a victim of post-wav affluence.

It has. had to combat the high cost of dying as well as the high cost of living. Nurses and medicines and everything else used in a medical research laboratory and hospital have climbed in cost, but the institute, like the colleges, is in a financial desert in the center of a continent of national plenty.
