BY ETHEL ROSEMON.

Go West, young woman. but If you're
a schoolgirl proud of your prowess in
basketball don't settle in Sparta, Wis.
The Board of Education of that place
has issued an order f%orbidding the
playing of basketball by girls teams Of
the high schools. The powers that be
have decided that such public exhihi-
tons are not conducive to good morals.
Well, we haven't seen the girls of
Sparta, Wis, playing basketball. so we
can't judge of the morality of the
game. However. it seems too bad that
some enterprising spirit doesn't change
the rules to suit the Board Of Educa-
ton.
If the boys game prevails in Sparta
and the authorities have found that it
is too rough, why there still remains
the girls game, which, if It isn't quite
50 much fun, is still sufficiently ex-
citing to be intensely interesting.
Basketball is about tho only game
left for t schoolgirl. In spirit it cor
responds to the baseball and football
of the mer- students. 1t not only aids
the physical development of the play
ers, but it fosters loyalty in the pupils
as a whole. The pride in "our team
soon extends to pride in the school
itself, with the accompanying desire
to make it excel in academic work as
well as in athletic proTess.
What would the college spirit oe
without the "rah, rah" of the big
game? The old grad" whose college
days have become faint memories
thrills as he hears the familiar CRY.
The prospective student lives for the
day when he will have a right to wave
the flag and give the yell. Sometimes
he practises In secret to see If he can
get the appropriate swing.
Many outsiders look with contemp

MAY OPEN NEW
FIRE COLLEGE IN
NEWARK DEG. |
Chief Croker, of New
York, Inspects Building
to Be Used.

At a conference today between for
mer Fire Chief Edward F. Croker, OF
the New York department, and the
local fire commissioners, it was def
nitely decided to start a school of in
struction at the reserve stables in
Prospect street. The former fire chief
arrived here in his touring car and a
escorted to the reserve stable by Com
mjssioners f. T. Burke, Frank A.
Weber and Secretary of the Board
Charles Smith.
The chief visited every nook of the
building and pointed out to the COM
missioners how all the space could be
utilized. The object of his visit to-
day was principally to- see what APP
paratus was needed in starting the
school and how the place could best be
fitted.
The commissioners believe the eff
cheney of the department viii be in
creased with this college, and that any
n1oney expended in this direction will
easily be made up by the great saw
ings that 1t will ultimately bring.
The men will be shown all h new
devices hat are used in the handling
of fires, and will receive lectures. The
top floor at the stable will be converted
into a lecture hall. 1t is possible that
the course will be started by December
/. The chief will send n OF his as
sistants here next Monday to make
final arrangements, and when the
course opens he will visit the city
twice each week to see what progress
is being made.

they argue.
But they are poor psychologists.
They fail to realize that every cheer is
generating a deeper love for alma
mater.
1t is true hat the students might
give the cry at the end of each lesson,
but though some of them feel like so
doing they know 1t wouldn't be digni-
fled, and then there is no rival college
present over which to laud superiority.
But the Newark girls need have no
fear for their game.
Basketball as played in tho East is
n of the best Observation-Disclosures of
any of the modern sports" said Will
lam G.. ~Broadhead. physical instructor
at the Barringer High School. MANY
people have an idea that it is too
rough for the fair sex, but they are
entirely mistaken. The girls game
differs greatly from the boys ruling.
THE Jane as played in the West Is
too rough for girls, and should either
be abolished or have the rules of the
girls game enforced"
Mr.. Broadhead said that the Bar
ringer High School is preparing its
teams for this seasons games, and
some good work may be expected. Yon
may then have an opportunity to Judge
the advantages and disadvantages or
the much-discussed basketball.
Several women's clubs of New Eng
land are forming a basketball league,
to include eight or more, where the
game is popular. The organization viii
mark the first of it's kind ever at
tempted in the East. and bids fair to
be a success. Among the towns that
will probably comprise the league are
New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury,
Meridian, Naugatuck, Hartford, Hol>

Peculiar Penalty Inflicted in Germany Upon the
British Officers Recently Convicted of
Espionage in Kaisers Land

between Emperor William and old
Prince Bismarck. Tho baron wounded
his adversary, and, although not a SOL
der by profession, was nevertheless in
dicted and condemned for violation Of
the statutes against duelling.
The German government did not con-
slider it necessary TO relieve him from
his post as its representative in Den
mark. He merely went on leave Of alb
sencc, intrusting his duties to a charge
d'affaires. and before his departure ex-
planned matters To the late King Chris
tian, who thoroughly appreciated the
situation. realizing that while il was
necessary for Kiderlen- Waechter to
undergo some semblance Of punish
ment for the violation Of the laws Of the
land in Germany he would have been
unable to retain his place in the Kaiser's
diplomatic service or TO remain i'm the
role of German Minister Plenipotentiary
at Copenhagen had he failed to comply
with the unwritten laws Of honor, which
required that he should meet in single
combat the editor who had malgned
him. After the baron had served three
months the remainder of his penalty was
remitted by Emperor William. and he
resumed his place az German envoy at
the court of the late King Christian just
as if nothing had happened.
During the baron's captivity in Ehren-
breitstein he was treated by the off,
GERS Of the fortress not as prisoner,
but as an envoy on leave Of absence.
He was attended by his own servants,
took his meals, as a general rule, either
with the governor or with the mess Of
the officers, and was permitted full lib

A strong point in favor Of Captain

that they had made no attempt what

that might be construed as a betrayal or

suborned treachery on the part OF ma
