Great Lakes, III., Sept. 23. In a remarkable test of endurance, Avery Brundage, a veteran star of the Chicago Athletic association, won the highest individual amateur ath letic honors of the nation today when he carried off the all-around championship, the closing event of the three-day national Amateur Athletic union outdoor track and field carnival at the Great Lakes naval station. Brundage won the premier honors in the national games at Newark in 1916 and in the meet at Birmingham, Ala., in 1914. And today's victory ended his unusual athletic career, as he declared he would never compete again. His triumph was achieved by stamina and a wonderful versatility, for he did not win as many first places as E. J. Thompson, a cadet in the royal air force of Toronto, Canada. The Chicagoan, however, finished well up among the leaders in the ten events. He won the shot put and 56-pound and scored a dead heat in the mile walk. All Exhausted. Nine men competed in the gruel ling seven-hour test and all finish ed, but they were exhausted at the finish. Brundage scored a total of of 6,708, six points on the basis of a possible 10,000. J. Helium, a Nor wegian athlete, representing the Pastime Athletic club of New York, was second with 6,149 points, al though he did not win a single in dividual contest. Thompson, who won four individual events of the ten, was third with 5,152 points. Earl Gilfillan of Great Lakes, a former Notre Dame star; Edward Knourek of Great Lakes, J. R. Fritts of New York, Lieut. Carl Buck of Kelly Field, Lieut. N. P. Bluett of Camp Hancock, Ga and W. E. Bartels of the University of Pennsylvania finished m the order named. The men competed in ten events: The 100-yard dash, shot put, run ning high jump, half-mile walk, hammer throw, pole vault, 120 high hurdles, 56pound weight, running broad jump and one-mile run. Thompson accumulated an impos ing early lead in the all-around events, and led the field after the firt four events had been decided. Brundage counted heavily in the weight events, however, and he sprang a surprise by walking a dead heat with J. R. Fritts, unattached, former New York Athletic club competitor in the halfmile "hike." His well-rounded performance is shown by his record for the ten events of two firsts, a dead heat, two seconds, a triple tie and second, one third, a quadruple tie for third, a fifth and a victory m one of the three heats in which the 100-yard dash was run off. Great Lakes naval training station won the 440-yard relay. Pelham Bay naval training station's fleet middle distance men carried their blue colors to victory ii both the 880-yard and one-mile events.

AT THE THEATERS IF a person told you the United States had no right or reason to enter the war you'd probably knock him down. But what if this person was your son? This is the situation in "The Man They, Left Behind," which comes to the Boyd tonight for five nights. This play deals with an attempt on the part of Germany to put a submarine base in the Chesapeake bay. It teaches one of the lessons of the United States Secret Service department. Last evening, society night at the Orpheum, fashionable Omaha at tended the performance and howed particular approbation for several of the vaudeville offerings. Notably the musical fantasy, "Cupid's Mir ror," with the musical Comedy fa vorite, Christie MacDonald, scored an emphatic success, as did also the charming coloratura soprano, Ma rion Weeks. Paul Decker, in "The Ruby Ray," is anothe of the fea tured acts to . prove uncommonly popular. Next 'week conies Der went Hall Caine, in "The Iron Hand." Shooting a big American flag from the mouth of a frowning can non right through the air and 011 up to the dome of the theater is but one of the striking novelties con tained in the red, white and blue patriotic revue, "Hello, America 1" in which the famous vaudeville team, Lewis & Dody, are featured at the Gayety this week. Tom Brown's Seven Musical Highlanders are appearing at the Empress for the first half of the week and play a score of musical instruments, including piano, saxo phone, bagpipe, violin, besides sing ing and dancing. One of the duets by the Pepper Twins is especially well done, and the comedy lines in the song, "Oh, What a Mix Up," brings lots of laughs. Walker Whiteside is to use a play called "The Little Brother." Some time ago it was announced that this piece would fall to the lot of Francis Wilson. Mary Emerson recently produced a sketch called "The Play's the Thing." It made such a splendid start that it is to be booked over the Orpheum circuit. It has some thing to do with the war and a spy. Doris Keane has started rehear sals in T.nnrlnn of "Roxana." the play known in this country as "No body's Widow." James L. Carhart, who is round ing his 53d year upon the stage, will continue in Maude Adams' com pany. Mr. Carhart is about to cele brate this 75th birthday and looks hale and hearty. Jefferson de Angelis, who is now playing the leading part in "Rock-a-Bye Baby," seems to be a splen did substitute for Walter Jones. Edna Hibbard, Louise Dresser, Walter Lawrence and Dixon and Hyson remain in the 'cast. Thirty-two Girls Enter School Tennis Tourney Thirty-two girls have entered the Central High school girls' fall tennis tourney. Drawings have been post ed and play will begin this after noon.

Perfect Health is Yours If the Blood Is Kept Pure Almost Every Human Ailment Is Directly Traceable to Im purities in the Blood. You can not overestimate the im portance of keeping the blood free of impurities. When you realize that the heart is constantly pumping this vital fluid to all parts of the body, you can easily see that any impurity in the blood will cause serious complications. Any slight disorder or impurity that creeps into the blood is a source of danger, for every vital organ of the body depends upon the blood supply to properly perform its functions. Many painful and dangerous dis eases are the direct result of a bad condition of th blood. Amonf the most serious are Kheumatism, with its torturing pains; Catarrh, often a forerunner of dread consumption; Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter, Erysipe las and other disfiguring skin dis eases; Malaria, which makes the strongest men helpless, and many other diseases are the direct result of impure blood. You can easily avoid all of these diseases and rid the system of them, by the use of S. S. S., the wonderful blood remedy that has been in constant use for more than fifty years. S. S. S. cleanses the blood thoroughly, and routs every vestige of impurity It is sold by druggists everywhere.

June Elvidge has come to the fore and now rides in the street car in or der to save gasoline. "Any little thing," says June, "to beat the Hun." ADOLPH ZUKER, president of the Famous Players-Lasky corporation, last Monday thanked Provost Marshal General Crowder for his decision to list the motion picture business among the essential industries under his "work or fight" law, and said that in his opinion the screen would vindicate the provost marshal general's judg ment. "The motion picture industry," said Mr. Zukor, "is already on a war basis. In making our plans at the present time for the season of 1918-19, we are deciding to produce only plays of a cheerful nature, be cause we believe it to be a patriotic duty that devolves at this time pe culiarly upon the screen to bring comfort and courage to the heart of America. But the screen is doing an even more important work. It is interesting the ideals and aims of American democracy to the rest of the world, and in order to aid the govenment in this direction to our fullest ability, we have decided to select only such subjects for produc tion as will indicate to the peoples of foreign nations the qualities and spiritual texture which have been developed in American manhood and womanhood by the institutions which we are now striving to pre serve. "The American motion picture Frances Burnham, leading woman for George Walsh, is again "out of the hospital." -A little over two weeks ago she came out of the hos pital, after a disastrous jump from a building in a picture and two days later was bitten by a spider. Physi cians saved her leg from amputa tion after a week's doctoring and she is ready to go at it again. John Gilbert, the very popular juvenile who-has been appearing in productions with both J. Warren Kerrigan's company and who has just completed a picture with Bessie Love, will go to war immediately upon completion of the work he is now in. He was 21 severaj weeks ago and was placed in Class A-l, and says nothing will suit him better. Monongahela Valley Traction Company Camera!
