Now that the clamor over the appearance or non-appearance of Dr. Otto Peltier of Germany at this or that track meet lias died away, the fact remains that it would have been just as well if he never had come to the United States with intent to compete. As a student of our scholastics, the German champiqn was more thun welcome. As a possible competitor during the indoor track season. Peltier immediately became too much of a drawing card. In other words, bls value at "the gate" superceded all other considerations, and the unseemly brawl over his services which issued displayed amateur athletics of this country in an unpleasant The holder of the world’s record for the half mile run, and athlete who had won his spurs In Europe by defeating Paavo Nurmi and Edvin Wade, Peltzer should have been received here by our athletic authorities with signal honors. Instead, he was received with suspicion. His motives were questioned. The Amateur Athletic Union which after all, has the last say when it comes to regulating the appearances and preformances of visiting athletes, believed that the German runner desired cnly to run in races in which hi» was certain of winning. After some weeks of controversy, it developed that this was the real re;, son for withholding Dr. Peltzer’s permit. The situation was a most unpleasant one. Here was the foremast track star of Germany, a nation which had been barred from the past two Olympaids seeking permission from the A. A. U. to run in the United States and being suspected of sinister motives. Several members of the foreign relations committee cf the A. A. U. thought that Peltier's competing here during an Olympic year would be un

fortunate. They did not want the Ger- • man to run against Lloyd Hahn, our ouiy middle distance star. Then, it developed that Dr. Peltzer, also, did not want to run against Mr. Huhn. Dr. Peltier, It was charged, sought merely to add to his personal prestige by beating different performers All in all, the situation was a most unfortunate one. The United States has had bad luck with its visiting athletes, whether they were invited or uninvited. First Paavo Nurmi got into trouble. Then Charley Hoff lost his license. If Gustavus Tom Kirby, who is at present in Switzerland representing this country at the Alytnpie sports, is successful In his negotiations in England later this month, there will be no further International competition iu any Olympic year. A team from Dartmouth college which had been invited abroad will not said, and athletes from Oxford and Cambridge will not attend the Penn Relays. Undoubtedly, it is just as well. Farmers’ Institute At Wren, Ohio, Well Attended I A total of 1,175 persons attended the two-day session of the annual farmers' Institute, held at Wren, Ohio, Monday and Tuesday. The institute was a very successful event. The state speakers for the institute W. E. Bitterly, of Canal Winchester, 0., and Mrs. Neal Wyatt Kyi, Somer set Ohio, were praised by their hear-1 ers. An interesting feature of the insti- 1 tute was the U. S. government display I of the European corn borer and its work, which is carried on a motor | truck. The display was seen by 237 | people at Wren. An attendant with the ]
