HOTTEST DAY

CLAIMED ONE

VICTIM

HER

Vera Schroeder Dies, Mrs. Patrick Harmon Has Sunstroke, and Nearly Score Slightly Overcome.

Sunday was the hottest day of the j ear in Richmond and vicinity and one death, one serious case of sunstroke and about a score of people slightly overcome were its effects. Miss Very Schroeder, aged 14, South ; Twelfth street, daughter of August Schroeder, died as a result of acute .stomach trouble, directly due to the Iheat. She was attending a picnic with her family near Abington when stricken and died about 6 o'clock last even- . Ing. Mrs. Patrick Hannon, 952 Sheridan street, suffered a sunstroke and was 'unconscious nearly twelve hours. She Jiad been working in her kitchen and tofter leaving the house about noon to Visit the home of a relative was Istricken and had to be carried back to her residence. She was not revived until nearly midnight. Her condition Us much improved today. Physicians report that considerable i illness has followed in the wake of jthe torrid wave and that quite a number of people were slightly overcome ISaturday and Sunday. , The government thermometer at the water works station registered 90 degrees yesterday noon against 89 degrees at the same hour Saturday. However, the pumping station is situated 'on high' ground east of the city and is a much cooler' place than Richmond. Some of the Main street thermometers yesterday registered as high as 98 degree :! Hundreds of people fled from the oeat of the city yesterday, seeking re; JJuge from the sun's rays in the country, only to discover that it was almost as hot in the woods as it was in the city. J Thousands of people visited Glen Miller park yesterday, many of them .remaining there until the park closed I fn the evening. Sunday evening the humidity was excessive and a large bulk Cl Richmond's population made their TBeds on front, and back verandas, on the floor near windows or in back yards. A few people slept on benches fa the South Tenth and Seventh street parks. " ', At 4 o'clock this morning the mercury stood at 78 degrees and it is probable that the maximum temperature today will etfual if not surpass the record yesterday. ' .'

SALT4 AND ICE.

The Process That Begins When tho j Two Are Mixed. - 1 It is not correct to say that salt dissolves ice, since real solution only taken place, when a solid, liquid or gas is - dissolved in a liquid. - r The true explanation of the fact that ice melts when common salt is added to it depends upon the simple physical principle that when a salt is dissolved 7a water, heat is absorbed and its temjierature lsvlowered. When salt and ice are mixed together some of the salt dissolves in the small amount of water, which, is always present, the temperature Is thereby lowered, and a new (freezing point is established. . The remainder of the ice. being at a 'temperature higher than this new (freezing point, slowly melts, and more

salt is dissolved until the solution is saturated. The temperature can in this

! way be lowered to 22 degrees C, which

is the freezing point of a definite compound of salt and water. The salts . dissolved in sea waters serve a very important purpose, as it requires a greater degree of cold to cause . the formation of ice on them than on fresh water.

FASCINATING SETTING

Had the Olympic Games in Sweden Where the Sun Sometimes Never Sets and Where the Landscape Fires the Imagination.

tgi :.: WELL DRILLING

Bertsch Bros., Centerville, Ind.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "The land of the midnight sun." Toward this fascinating and mysterious land the eyes of the world have been trained during the past few weeks. And with some reason. For in this picturesque setting were held the greatest series of Olympic games yet given since the inauguration of this world athletic meet. The Scandinavians do with thoroughness whatever they undertake. Hence when the Olympiad was placed in Stockholm they proceeded to a campaign of publicity and invitations never before attempted by arrangement committees. So that the interesting spectacle of contests taking place between the picked athletes of the four continents has been one hypnotizing their various compatriots. South America and Asia alone were unrepresented. Five Olympiads have been held, the first in 1896, the others every four succeeding years, Athens, Paris, St. Louis, London and Stockholm having been the t respective environs, Berlin to be the place of meeting in 1916. In each of these famous displays of prowess the United States has walked off with the honors, getting away with one hundred and twenty points at this meet, the Swedes ranking second with seventy-nine and the English third with fifty-eight. The United States, however, has never won the Marathon. Although leading in every other form of athletics, the Americans have never distinguished themselves as long distance runners. In this latest exhibition of endurance however the United States came in third a little less than two minutes behind the winner, a South African. For South Africa carried off this event not only In the first but in the second. And the fact that the winner was an ex-policeman made the capture no less notable. Let the policeman's union memoralize McArthur. No longer can they be made the butt of the jokesraith and the target of the cartoonist. The policeman has been vindicated. He can run a marathon when he has a fair field and no favor. Hats off, then, to McArthur. One thing that has been demonstrated in the last series, too, is the superiority of the horsemanship of the officers of the U. S. army, in one event a lieutenant from this country ranking fifth where there were over forty entries, the latter being made from the flower of the European cavalry. The fact that the other four were Swedish officers, familiar with the country and riding the horses upon which they had practiced and that the U. S. Army officer rode a strange animal and also that he came in fourth ahead of the picked riders from those continental countries which make a boast of their cavalry, makes a line 6howing for this country's mili

tary training and for the instruction received in West Point. Strangely enough, and yet not 6trangely, either, but, rather, fitting

ly, the acquatic star was a native Hawaiian, and a citizen of the United States. The performances of this swimmer astonished and delighted the representatives of the different nations, as well as the trmendous gallery always attendant upon the games, who generously gave the recognition his waterfeats deserved both from an athletic and spectacular standpoint. The Hawaiians are the finest swimmers in the world and are as much at home there as on the celebrated terra firma. It was a great day for the nativeborn and the patriot. Pluckly little Finland sent in representatives from that country, listed as from Finland, not as a dependency of Russia. The Finns are a great people, both physically and racially. Finland dies hard politically, but, racially, she doesn't die at all. The respective merits of this small attache of the Russian empire and of the latter, are shown in the fact that Finland carried away twenty-eight points and Russia three. The Finlanders are great runners, for one thing, some of the sprinting honors being taken by them in this last Olympiad, one of their men being looked upon as a possible winner of the last great event. A significant feature, also, was the participation of three Indians in the American team, Indians of undiluted blood and of distinguished descent. One thing shown is the retention of virility of race by the supposed racial under-dogs. Here are the Finns who have preserved the integrity of their blood. The North American Indian with no cross to weaken the strength of his straight ancestry. The Hawaiian with no bar sinister on his racial escutcheon. Politically these people are submerged. Racially they maintain the heritage of their origin. The half-breed, the mongrel, rarely endures, or excels in enduring quality, no matter what his mental brilliance. Ajid it was a splendid thing, after all, to see the Indians walking off with honors in the greatest athletic meet the world has ever seen and crediting it up to the United States. For it was through the education

received in the schools established by their patrons forced patrons since the Indian "beat us to it" and Is the real simon-pure American that enabled these young men to acquire that skill which developed their natural aptitudes. So, after all, the country has not done so badly by its wards. The Scandinavians are a fascinating

race. Big of stature, deliberative, analytical and tinged with a certain melancholy, racial and national, but, per-

;haps, not as really existent as endow

ed by the world's imagination, these people appeal to the fancy.

And not less so on account of their

strange country, full of brilliant contrasts in color and form, rugged, wild but enduring. Their Viking traditions.

Their half-mythological history. Their

monumental literary and artistic performances and their intense and magnificent patriotism. Great music, great art, great drama, great literature has emanated from ti small .peninsula on the . fringe of Europe.. Its art,' like its country, full of vio

lent contrasts but hewing to the artistic bone.

And of its wonderfully hued and prolonged days, what cannot be Bald!

Of those farthest distant shores where

the sun never sinks in the summer and where the day is twenty-four hours long.

Splendid, indeed, is the heritage of Scandinavia, which has given to this country some of the latter's finest qualities of citizenship and injected into the artiistic veins of the world

fine truth and virility. The Olympic games may expand and intensity in the future but never again will they have the fascinating setting given them by the Swedes.
