Olympic Runner Vindicates Name Soft Track Demon Beats Midnight Express and Wykoff When Percy Williams scampered down the track at Vancouver last Saturday to win the 100-yard dash in nine and four-fifths seconds, a fitting sequel to the one hundred meter race at the Olympic Games of last year was provided—a sequel both in result and setting. It was the self-same Canadian boy who, in both races, breasted the tape ahead of many highly touted rivals, and the condition of the European track and that at Vancouver were if not actually the same, at least very similar. It would seem that the gods had favored Williams and, seeing that he is at his best on a soft track, even as the United States' sprinters are at their worst there, saw to it that the British Columbia Amateur Athletic Carnival would be held at the old horse race track in Vancouver. It is not surprising, then, that the conditions being the same, the results of the Vancouver sprint race should be similar to those of the Olympic dash. Williams, by his win, vindicated his sprinting achievements upon which have been cast many evil aspersions of late. He conclusively proved that he is one of the world's leading dash men and that there is much promise for great years ahead of him. In defense of the American sprinters, the record Williams made in this country during the spring may be shown. He confined his races in this country to those of special length, never once running the regulation "century." In one of these, a 60-yard dash, he was beaten by Jack Elder of Notre Dame, who is not considered to be of the same quality as Tolan, Wykoff, Brancey, Simpson, and those other really great sprinters. The track season for 1923 is, with some very few exceptions, a thing of the past. It will be an interesting fight "On With the Show," First All-Color, All-Talkie "On With the Show," the first 100% natural color, talking, singing, dancing picture, a Warner Bros. Vitaphone production, in technicolor, comes to the Fox California theatre Monday next, for a run of three days. The cast of this glamorous story of stage and backstage includes Betty Compson, Arthur Lake, Sally O'Nell, Joe E. Brown, Ethel Waters, Louise Fazenda, William Baker well, the Fairbanks Twins, Sam Hardy; Lee Moran, Wheeler Oakman, Harry Gribbon, Thomas Jefferson, Harmon Emperors' Quartet, Josephine Houston and a dazzling beauty chorus of one hundred. The story is by Humphrey Pearson, the adaptation by Robert Lord. In defense of the American sprinters, the record Williams made in this country during the spring may be shown. He confined his races in this country to those of special length, never once running the regulation "century." In one of these, a 60-yard dash, he was beaten by Jack Elder of Notre Dame, who is not considered to be of the same quality as Tolan, Wykoff, Bracey, Simpson, and those other really great sprinters. The track season for 1920 is, with some very few exceptions, a thing of the past. It will be an interesting fight during the season of 1930 for the title of "world's fastest human." On the basis of past performances, Percy Williams should be the favorite. His American competition should be, however, such as to make his position as favorite an altogether fragile one. Dairymen Receive Greater Returns By W. M. CORY, Assistant Farm Advisor Twenty-two herds, with 1118 cows, are now in the Orange County Farm Bureau Cowtesting Association, being regularly tested each month for butterfat production by J. W. Soden. According to the June summary, which has just been compiled, these cows averaged 771 pounds of milk and 31.6 pounds of butterfat. This is 2.4 pounds better than for the same month last year, and at the same price received per pound butterfat, means an added return to association members of $2.414.88 for the month. Of the 1118 cows 329 averaged 40 pounds or more of butterfat for the month, and 16 cows were culled out as unprofitable producers. In the cow competition classes, Delos Patterson, Santa Ana, was first in Class A, with a herd average of 937 pounds of milk and 41.9 pounds of butterfat. A. C. Murdy, Westminster, was second with an average of 1001 pounds of milk and 41.7 pounds of butterfat. In Class B, John Janisma, Santa Ana, was first with an average of 1026 pounds of milk and 39.2 pounds of butterfat. The Segerstrom Brothers' herd of Santa Ana, was second with an average of 954 pounds of milk and 34.9 pounds of butterfat. In Class C, the Ostercamp herd, of Santa Ana, was first with 1159 pounds of milk and 36.7 pounds of butterfat. L. E. Platt of Santa Ana was second with 639 pounds of milk and 32.6 pounds of butterfat. The high cow for the month was owned by W. W. Armstrong of Santa Ana, with a production of 1656 pounds of milk and 79.5 pounds of butterfat. Ben Van der Horst, Santa Ana, owned the second high cow with 1971 pounds natural color, talking, singing, dancing picture, a Warner Bros.

I shall not die but live, and declare the works of the Lord." These joyous affirmations of the Psalmist constitute the Golden Text in the lesson-sermon on "Life" Sunday in all Churches of Christ Scientist, branches of the Mother Church, the First Church of Christ Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The lesson-sermon consists of Scriptural selections and correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy. A citation from the Gospel of Luke narrates this incident: "And behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself. And he said unto him, thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live." One of the correlative passages from Science and Health relates the experience of Mrs. Eddy in these words: "The author has healed hopeless organic disease, and raised the dying to life and health through the understanding of God as the only life." of milk and 78.8 pounds of butterfat. The high five cows were owned by E. A. Wakeharn, Anahiem, averaging 1647 pounds of milk and 70.3 pounds of butterfat. The W. W. Armstrong herd of Santa Ana, had the second high five with 1309 pounds of milk and 68.1 pounds of butterfat. The cow competition classes are designated as follows: Class A—Herds under 36 cows. Class B—Herds 35 to 65 cows. Class C—Herds of over 65 cows. The high cow for the month was owned by W. W. Armstrong of Santa Ana, with a production of 1656 pounds of milk and 79.5 pounds of butterfat. Ben Van der Horst, Santa Ana, owned the second high cow with 1971 pounds. CALIFORNIA THEATRE ANNUAL SATURDAY and SUNDAY WILLIAM BOYD in THE FLYING FOOL Hear the zoom of the planes, the breathless sequences of this all-talking, air thriller, with Marie Prevost and Russell Gleason. Coming Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, "ON WITH THE SHOW" The Cause of Misspelled Words It is a number of years since the craze for simplified spelling swept the land. It has largely died down now but in its place there has come a much less likable descendant—the vogue for misspelling words in the display advertisements. Charles Hanson Towne, in the current Harper's Bazaar, considers this tendency and does not like it. Sarcastically, he suggests that congress pass a law providing ten years in jail and a $10,000 fine for anyone who misspells a word on an electric sign, billboard or street car placard. "Stepping down the street the other evening," he writes, "I was dismayed at the number of words I found it difficult to read. It was as though I were in a foreign country. Theatre managers sought to lure me to see 'volvill' and 'burlesk.' I felt that the performances would be as discreditable as the words over the entrances of these palaces of art. "Before another palace I was confounded by a sign which told the world that there would be a good show 'to-nite.' Once in motoring I had seen a sign insisting that if one wished to reach a certain town one should turn to the 'rite'." Then Towne mentions those familiar signs that recommend "made-rite-furniture," "uwanna this" and "iwanna that." college klothes," and so on. These move him to grind his teeth in rage; and he goes on to consider other "abomination," which, he says, are on display in every town. "A restaurant," he writes, "will brazenly announce 'eats.' And luncheonett—a dire word itself—I have seen abbreviated into 'lunchette.' Nor does 'tastee' candy seem more tasty because the word has been distorted out of all resonance to itself." Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any relief in sight. Some people will continue to consider that kind of spelling attractive—just as some shop keepers persist in calling their places "shoppes." A man in this neighborhood has acquired the reputation of having a great deal more money than he really has just by being exteremely dilatory about paying his bills.

Physically exhausted themselves, but with their motor in perfect condition, the flyers were brought down after nearly a week and a half of continuous flight because of the accumulation of foreign substance on the stabilizer which made further flying hazardous. Both flyers paid high tribute to Richfield Gasoline and Richlube Motor Oil which they had selected after exhaustive tests and which made possible the perfect performance of their motor throughout the flight. Carrying an over-load of almost seven hundred pounds in excess of the regular load" of the Buhl air sedan, their total line consumption was less than twelve gallons per hour of flying time, while their oil aged less than one quart an hour—an all-enumeral record best expressed in Hart's words, "The oil gauge might just well have been painted.
