OFF TO THE SUMMER RE8ORT8 .. Well, friends?It's time to puck up uii<l go to the beach, If you cau muke hrraiigomenta with your grocer to carry your March, April, May and June account till Fall, and then .slip off without leaviiiK your address so's the , installment agents won't bo pestering i you while you are resting, ..Our family la making a home-made hou shore resort at our house. That's as near the ocean as we will be able to get this season on account of the NltA. Our present plan is to work all day as usual. At ulght, when we all get thru eating supper (bread, but, tor, water, and more bread), we ac. cumulate in the back yard. 1 ..We don our buthing suits and BevyDees. One of us takes the hose in one hand and a salt cellur in the other; we squirt water on the folks and throw salt in their eyes at the same time. To get the effect of riding the waves, wo roll ovhr a burrel every now and then. To obtain a natural ocean's roar, we make our little dog growl all the time while gnawing a bone. ..After we get thru swimming, we sit around and "make like" each of us is some other person. We brag on. how rich wo are, how many cars wo own, how many servants we employ, how many thousands of dollars we lost during the recent panic, and how close kin the Roosevelts and Talmadges are to us. We also talk about not fetching our refcl nice clothes witli us tills summer. ..We retire after getting a sufficient quantity of ozone breezes, meaning ' that we go to bed. We have rented an electric fan; wo turn that 011 so's it will rake all 3 of the beds in the sleeping porch. We also hang a newspaper in front of the fan to keep up the effect of the murmuring breakers as they roll in from a distant shore. Before going to sleep, we cuss several minutes about the poor food, the j hard beds, the stuck-up Smiths and j 1 lie idiotic Jones, who evidently have plenty money. , t . .When we want to spend a while in j the mountains, we simply do away with tlie ocean's roar and the leaping 1 waves. We still use the hose though I 1 and the backyard and t he bathing! 'suits. We inhale the cool, sombre! | breezes that steal across the cedarlopped mountains, and talk about j (those wonderful balsam odors that ! dicker here and there within reach i of our noses. We retire ami run the fan. and pull 3 blankets over us till we sweat ourselves to death, and then we throw them off and go to sleep' . . . and dream of where we are, want to be, but ain't. Old-Time Muscle Builder# I Columbia, July 8.?Jumping with I weights iu the hands to pull one forward and Increase the length of the Jump used to be a favorite practice with athletes of the University of South Carolina. Prof. H. C. Davis of the English i Depurtmont of the University, reculls 1 some of the sports of the students which ho observed when living on ( the campus as a boy. In baseball, as the students played it, four1 strikes were the order of the 1 day. Catching the ball on the first bounce was perfectly all right. Foot- ( ball was not pluyed us such, but us j "rough and tumble." With 25 play- 1 ers 011 a side, the object whs to kick ( the ball over the goal line. "Athletics 40 years ago were unorg- 1 anized," points out Professor Davis. "That was the day of the individual 1 athlete." Such feats as "chinning" oneself 1 35 times and then 6 times with one < hand; climbing a pole by means of plunging spikes into the wood and i then ..pulling up with each hand? ' these were the muscle-builders of those athletes. { Tennis and basketball were looked 011 as "sissy" games. 1 Claims First Orphan Home Columbia, July 8.?The honor of establishing the first home for orphaned . children to be maintained at public ] cost in America, that is, a home not | collected with an almshouse, belongs . to Charleston, S.

Henderson, Toledo uorialist, had allot 2,000 feet skyward In a hot air balloon to entortaln the Fourth of July crowd with his parachute daring. At 2,000 feet, ho adjusted Ills parachute equipment, settled himself on hla trapeze perch, and looked down to find Fred Cardoni, 30, of Detroit, clinging desperately to a long guide rope swinging beneath the balloon, his feet beating the air. "How the hell did you get there?" I shouted Henderson. H Cardoni, muttered something about I being caught in the rope at the take- I "Wrap some of that rope around I your feet, shouted Henderson, "ru I try to get you down." H "How long will it take?" gasped fl Cardoni. 1 "About 10 or 15 minutes," replied I Henderson. H "That's too long," yelled Cardoni. I 'I can't hold on." The rope slipped through his hands H ind he fell, the desperate fralliiig'jjf-1 lis arms visible to the crowd 011 the I icach and to his horror-stricken wile md two small children. His body anded in a lield about 1,000 feet from I .lie point of ascension. j Sheriff's officers said Cardoni had grasped the rope as the balloon rose, I ntending to ride a few feet and jump, I >ut that the speed of the ascension I tad yanked him far above the earth I ilmost instantaneously. j Cold Drink Fatal j Blair, Neb.?Returning from the I ields after working all day in the H leat, Arnold Lorenzen, 21, took il Irink of cold water and dropped deW fl 11 the kitchen of his parent's ho* He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. ^orenzen, farmers, and a high school ntsketbull star.
