BASKET BALL ON THE GRILL
Sport Likely to Be Dropped by
GEORGETOWN Athletic Association.

From present indications basket ball
will not be fostered as a department OF
the general athletic association of George
town University another year. The rea-
son for the dropping of the sport is not
definitely known, but 1t is believed that
the expense was too great in proportion
TO the interest taken in the games by
the student body. Then. again, those
having say on the subject are members
of the ''old guard" who were at George
town couple of years before basket ball
came in vogue at the school. so mayha2s
they are somewhat prejudiced against the
minor sport.
If the latter reason is the cause for the
putting OF the goal-tossers out on their
own hook again. as was the case In 1867,
the men who are elected to the executive
council in June will probably reinstate
it. But this is hardly thought to be the
real cause of the dropping the game. so

Starr of the University Of Chicago, who
is visiting friends in Brooklinc, said to-
day:
IF Mr.. Roosevelt returns at all he will
return changed man. 1t is extremely
dangerous for d man of fifty years OF
age to make his first trip into the jungle.
If he survives, he will be more sluggish
by nature.
Il have never prophesied that Mr.
Roosevelt would fall a victim to the
sleeping sickness or would be eaten by
lions, tigers of cannibals To survive
the dangers of the climate requires an
entire remaking OF the physical nature
of the man who goes into the jungle.
Mr.. Roosevelt's vigor will be his worst
enemy. His age. disposition and
strength are all against him. 1t is the

RHODESlA WANTED ROOSEVELT
DUKE OF ABERCORN EXTENDED
INVITATION.
Ex-President Declined for Lack of
Time-Great Preparation to
Take Care Of Hunt Trophies.

LONDON, Thursday, March 1S.-In the
hope that ex-President Roosevelt might
be persuaded to include Rhodesia In his
forthcoming African tour. the Duke of
Abercorn recently sent him cordial in
vitation from the board of the British
South African Company to visit that
country.
In his letter the Duke Of Abercorn point
ed out the many attractions afforded
by the Journey from Cape Town. and
the world-famed Victoria Falls. and the
Matopo Hills, in the midst of which is
the tomb OF Ceci! Rhodes. who by in
Guiding Americans among students eligible
for the Rhodes scholarships at Oxford
showed his great admiration for the
American race.
The Duke of Abercorn also called at
tention to the excellent prospects for
hunting big game in northern Rhodesia.
Possibly this was uppermost in the ex-
Presidents mind when. in his letter heart
lily thanking the duke for the invitation,
he wrote:
Your proposal is SO attractive that l
should certainly have closed with it if
there had been time"
IL is said here that the guns Mr.. Roose-
Welt Isl to use in Africa will be equipped
with silencers. in which case he very
likely will make new records in big game
hunting.

Lee. who had been at various times
employed by Mrs. Clark's family, said
his boy was walking through Sheridan
Circle the afternoon the property WAS
lost. and discovered the bag lying a
short distance from the sidewalk. He
took it to his father. who did not see the
advertisement until today.
Mrs Clark is the sister-in-law of Snow

MICHIGAN VISITS MISSOURI.
State Societies Join in Festivities
and Listen to Speech.

The Missouri Society held a meeting last
night at the Pythian Temple. and had
as its guests members of the Michigan
Club. The program included music and
an address by Representative George F.
Burgess of Texas.
The opening address was delivered by
Lee T. Robinson, president of the Mis-
souri, Society. He welcomed the Michi-
gan Club and said he hoped to provide
enjoyment in return for the recent en-
tertainment extended the Missourians by
the Michigan Society.
Representative Burgess declared in his
address that he wanted to impress upon
the minds of those present the Importance
of the cooperation of the people with
the government in advancing the citi-
zenship of the American people, although
some people, he declared. had labored
under the idea that the politicians ruled
the country and not the citizens. After
lauding Texas. and speaking a good
word for Missouri Mr.. Burgess stated
that he was proud of the American wom-
an and thought she could advance the
general interests of the country by look
ing out for the home comforts rather
than by insisting upon the right to vote.
The program for the evening included
a violin solo by Miss Louise Bernha m
selections by the Phihlo Orchestra and a
song by w. 7. Foster.

and at the same time would be directed

only difference being that the men would

To defray a possible deficit however,
the students of the law school are willing
to pledge themselves for an amount up
to five hundred dollars, which would be
plenty to insure the payment of every
possible loss.

for basket ball players TO wear G.. Is. b.

that the minor teams in all the big uni

Some Ways IN Which She Makss and

The eyes Of the Englishwoman look
young. She knows how to make her
eyes shine like stars by the use Of
little pure borax dissolved in warm wa
ter. It takes out the dust and helps
the sight.
She rests her eyes frequently. She
never sits and gazes sideways upon an
object.

lovely gaze. They are dark. glossy and
heavy. and they are perfectly nodded.
This is because they are painted ev-
cry night with a simple oily lotion
which makes them grow, and they are
brushed every morning with little
eyebrow brush, which encourages the
roots Of the hair to send forth little
rootlets.
The teeth Of the Englishwoman be-

They are sound and white. The Eng
lishwoman eats cereals. Like the Irish
and the Scottish woman, she thinks
them necessary to at least one meal.
And she chews them. too. for she
knows that mastication is necessary
to good digestion.
The Englishwoman, who Is holding
the worlds record for keeping young,
has certain things in her favor. and
one Is the habit of leisure. From birth
she has been taught to take her time.
The Englishwoman's habits Of
thought help her out in the work Of
keeping young. She has the artless,
dancing eyed expression Of the young
girl.
When not busy with social duties,
the Englishwoman is bordering on
bright thoughts. The nature Of your
thoughts makes a great difference in
