"What do YT say first?" she whispered [(ran- tically to Straus. "Has my father gono home?" Straus prompted her, 'Go on, you fool they're waiting for you." Beth stepped out onto the right.

To Be Continued Tomorrow POWERFUL FORCES TONEW OLYMPIAD British Empire Games Will| Not Affect Competition at Los Angeles EE London, Jan, 29.--Substantial asurances are forthcoming that Britain will send strong, repre- sentative deams to the Olympic dames at Los Angeles in 1932. Any belief that might have been held regarding the effect upon the Olympie Games of the newly in- dtituted Dritish Empire Games, opened at Hamilton, Ontario, last August and scheduled for every four years, is largely unfounded Lord Rochdale, léader of the Brit igh Olympic Games movement, says Britain will be adequately repre sented al Los Angeles. Lord Rochdale spoke strongly on the matter at a recont meeting here of the Olymple council, says Sporting fe, He pointed out that since the first Qlympiad at Athens in 1896 the United & States had loyally supported the Games, no matler where they took place, to the utmost of their resources, "apd it would be base ingratitude on ou? oart not to do all In eur power to help them to make those at Los Angeles as big a success as those iu, Londop in 1008." There 1s no question that the)" 1988 Games will be on a different scald altogether to those in 1904 at St. Louis, The Olympic move ment at that time was, as it were, in {ts infancy, and many nations which how ragularly participate had then not the least idea as to the value of athletics towards na. tional efficiency, This had the re sult of making the St) Louis Games practically an all-American affalr, for the Kuropean nations were practically unrepresented, and the consqeuence was that with the ex ception of the B56 1b. weight se. cured by a Canadian, all the track and field events were competed for and won by U.S, athletes, Two of the victors on that ocoeasion, Rose and Sheridan, repeated their sugcesset in throwing the disour and putting the shot at the London Games four years later, "While it is not. necessary for {is to attempt to send to Los Angeles the vast number of athletes and of- Helals who represented us in post- war days at Antwerp, Parls, and Amsterdam, It is all the mors necessary that Great Britain should make an 'impressive appear. ance, inasmuch that already no fewer than 28 nations have accept- ed the invitation of the United States to compete, while others have intimated their intention of doing so if at all possible," Sport. ing Life added. Americans Optimistic "The Americans are hoping that the tenth Olympiad will surpass all its predecessors in every pousible way. If enthusiasm and superb organization can accomplish this they will doubtless attain to their ambition. The honor ot holding the celebration has come to them only after really admirable per sistency. In 1920 the United States International Olymple Committee gent Willlam May Garland----n sportsman to whom Los Angeles is the real centre of the universe-- to Antwerp with an invitation. to the International Olympio Commit. tee to hold either the 1034 or 1928 Games in the Californian capital, ' i "Unfortunately for them these had been pledged to Paris and Amsterdam respectively, but Mr, Mapland wag Informed that there was a possibility of the 1832 Uamek '-at that time unassigned -- being secured if the committee were satisfied with 'the suggested arrangements, "From that moment Mr, Gar land did not leave them alone, and at every opportunity ho urged the claimy of Los Angeles, with the result that at the meeting of the International Committee in Rome in 1928 the United States was un animously pelected as the nation to which would be given the Games of ule pears hence, Then with their usual thoroughness, the Am: ericans Immediately went to work, The Governor of the State of Call. fornia appointed a Commission, composed .of leaders in the sport. Ing, civic, business, and industria) lite of the State to supportt Los Angeles, while the Government of the United States itself at once communicated with the nations of the world to the effect they would regard it as a 'friendly gesture' if the Games were supported. Remarkable Result "Th¥ result has been really re: markable, for never before so far In advance of the Games has such a response been made to the invitu- tions, and the fact that, at least, the colors of 2& different nations of the world will be flown on this' occasion has luspired the organize Ing committee to supreme efforts, "The preparations are already practically complete, The stadium will seat well over 100,000 specta- tors; the track has been remodel led to suit the requirementg of the Olympic Committee, and the ac conimodation for everyone and everything 1s on an elaborate seule.

Mr. Barbeau suggested that those who were most interested in preserving Quebec's historical arts and customs were mostly English- Canadians, professors at MeGill and Dominon historfans and an- thropologists, The songs of Quu- bec have been collected and pre. served by such men aus Dr. Cyrus MacMillan at McGill and by a num- ber of men in Toronto.
