WAUKEGAN rs HOWLING
High School Teachers Claim Kenosha
Won Track Meet by Unfair Means

AS usual there is howl from Wauke-
gan and the two high school teachers
who came with the track team of the
Waukegan High School to Kenosha are
declaring that the Kenosha track team
used unfair tactics to win the meet on
Saturday. The howl of Waukegan as in
former cases is groundless and the Wau-
kegan athletes were given every posi-
BILE consideration. They were not good
enough to win and for this reason they
started the howl, They claim that their
athletes were unjustly disqualified and
that events in which they were strong
were thrown out for the. sole purpose
of giving Kenosha the victory There
was one Waukegan man disqualified dur
ing the meet and under the rues he
should have been disqualified Even
had he not been disqualified he would
not have finished better than bad
third and this would have in no way
affected the result of the meet.
The Kenosha boys are not making any
answer to the senseless bubble, but are
getting ready to give the Waukegan
klckers another drubbing next year.

YER since magazine article roast
Il ing the art Of the great paintings
in the rotunda of the capitol has been
given circulation, the pictures have
been receiving more attention than
ever before from the capitol guides
Even the oldtimers in Washington
who regarded it as "green" to listen
to the capitol echoes or to look at
the pictures and statuary, are going
over the paintings to verify the &C.
curacy of the magazines criticism.
And the criticism seems justified in
two instances. The great painting by
John Trumbull, depicting Washing
toms resignation of the command of
the army, is found to contain the pic.
ture of young girl of a freak variety.
Two little children gazing in
tently at the heroic figure of the ia
ther of his country are seen to be we'll
equipped with hands and arms. Be.
tween the two of them the little girls
have five arms. 1t is asserted in the
magazine article that one girl has
three hands, but a careful examina.
tion of the picture shows that the two
little girls have five hands and to
neither of them can any two of the
five hands be properly charged.

But their steps are stayed by the
sound of prancing steeds announcing
the coming Of the belated yet only

as she runs into the hall. "Just time.

"Yes, an unfortunate accident TO

asks: where are you going to take

At the first opportunity, while the
