Indianapolis Sees George Brown Near World's Walk Mark Champ Pedestrian Thrills Huge Throng in Fast Downtown Hike Exhibition. Mayor Charles Jewett started George Brown, champion professional walker of the world, and a squad of local pedestrians on a three and one-half mile jaunt from In front of the city hall at 12:13 yesterday afternoon and 24 minutes and 4-5 of a second later Brown, traveling alone, reported at B. F. Keith's Theater, where he is tilling a week's engagement In treadmill exhibitions. The largest crowd that has lined Indianapolis streets for any sort of an event for some time watched Brown step off tha distance, and it was all the police could do to keep the crowd back on Pennsylvania street from Vermont street to Keith's, where the flashy pedestrian staged the classiest sprint to which Indianapolis has ever been treated. After the exhibition Brown extended hearty thank* to city officials and Chief of Police Jerry Kinney for the manner In which they cooperated with him to make the walk a success. FAST TIME FOR STREET 'WALKING. Brown's time for the three and one-half miles was less than a minute OTer the world's record for the distance. This record was established on a w. _tng track and under the most ideal conditions. Yesterday, however, the walk speedster stepped It off over none too smooth streets and under conditions which were far from being ideal. Brown s world's record for three miles is 20 minutes 17 seconds. Representatives of the Indianapolis Boy Scouts and several aspiring Indianapolis walkers faced the starter with Brown, but his wonderful get-away took the heart out of most of them. The only ‘‘competitor" within hailing distance of the champion wheu ho crossed the iinish line was a youngster who tried to follow the pace at a dog trot, and did a fairly good job of It. The numerous “curb parties" found along the route of the walker were awed by the wonderful clock-like movement of his body and rewarded him with round after round of applause. ALWAYS READY FOR CHALLENGERS. Before becoming a professional walker Brown established amateur records for all distances from one to ten miles, which still stand unbroken. He now holds ail professional records up to 100 miles, lie Is open to challenges from ary walkers In the world at all times. Brown, since his walking csreer began, has started in 173 ra> es and been defeated only four times, in three of which be worked against handicaps. Brown has never been bothered by any one breaking any of his world's records for any distance. Saturday afternoon Brown will spend an hour of his time before his stage r?rformance with the Indianapolis Boy Scouts. During this time he will lecture on and demonstrate what he has proven Js the proper method of heel and-toe walking, and will answer any questions the youngsters care to ask.

DOBBIN NEVER TO JOIN DODO Canadian Official Insists Auto Can’t Fill Place. CALGARY, Alberta. Feb. 4.—Sentimental folk have shed many figurative tears over the ultimate fate of the horse, which, they believe, will disappear in the program of human work before the motor-driven vehicle. H. S. Arkell, livestock commissioner of Canada, takes an opposite view. He declared at the con-g-ess of the Western Canada Livestock Union here that those who hare tears to shed would better shed them over the ultimate fate of the motor vehicle, especially on the farm. “Mechanical power,” said Mr. Arkell, “will never supplant Old Dobbin on the farm. Far from falling off in numbers, the horse population of the continent is increasing. I look for a steady development in horse breeding that will. In my opinion, serlonsly affect the automobile and truck business. Motor truck* are a valuable asset In the world's work, but there are certain kinds of work, not only on the farm, but In the city, which trucks cannot do and which only a good team of horse* can do. Don't be afraid that the horse will Join the dodo and pterodactyl In extinction. He will continue forever to be numbered among the most Important factors In human labor. As tho world's human population increases, the horse population will keep pace with It." ‘Wild Party’Stops All Dances in This Town CONNELLBTILLH, Pa..

NEARLY ALL WISH TO BE BEAUTIFUL Women Must Exercise to Retain Figure, Says Expert. LONDON. Feb. 4. —“In America I found that nearly all women wish to be beautiful, and realize that the first thing Is to be healthy, well developed and strong. “The reason why this Is more so In America than It Is In England Is because they are Idolized by their men, and therefore try to be at their best." This declaration was made by Miss Maude O'Dell, who has Just returned from a visit to America. She claims to be the world's best proportioned woman. “If every woman gave ten minutes a day to the right exercise, In three months' time she would be so well and so changed that she would not know herself," she said. "It is not easy to tell a woman what to do unless you know her pecularitles, but there is a simple exercise which every woman may benefit from. Many women suffer from Indigestion and stomach troubles. This is because they do not exercise the muscles of the stomach,. "A woman’s corsets should be made of mnscle, not whalebone. These muscles are not used, and hence these troubles from which women usually suffer. “Practically every woman.” she declared, “can have a perfect figure by proper exercise. But she must remember that proportion Is everything, and she mnst select her exercises with earn snd cultivate the right muscles. One part of tho body over-developed Is ugly and useless."

American Tobacco Is FavoredJ)y Turks NEW Y'OEK, Feb. 4.—Strange, but tree. About tha last thing a Turk wants is Turkish tobacco. At least, this Is the report of secretaries in the Knights of Columbus American service men’s hut In Constantinople. Turks who passed by the club on the Rue Bosphorous had thetr olfactory nerves tickled by the Kentucky hurley and golden Virginia smoked by the American gobs frequenting the ciub. Now the secretaries state that the Turks have frequent swapping matches with the Yankee gobs, exchanging Turkish tobacco for American. The Turks pronounce the American tobacco superior to their own and the gobs relish the change, and the tobacco entente helps to preserve the peace between tha Yanks and the Turks.

URGES TIMBER NEEDS OF U. S. Chief Forester Declares Problem National One. WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.—Need for public action to save the remaining forests of the United State* from devastation and to provide for timber production on lands already laid waste was strongly urged by Col. W. B. Greeley, chief of the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, at hearing* before the House Agricultural Committee on the Snell bill. The bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture, In cooperation with the States or other suitable agencies, to recommend the requirements essential for protecting timbered and cut-over lands from fire, reforesting denuded lands and cutting and removin gtlmber crops so that continuous production of timber will be promoted. Federal expenditures have at least to be eualed by State expenditures derived either from general taxation or from owners of forest lands under State requirements. The bill also provides for a survey of the forest resources and requirements of the country, for experiments and investigations In reforestation and methods

of cutting and utilizing timber, (for enlarged purchase* of land* for Federal administration as national forests and for various other features of a national program of forestry.
