ONE ON ELKTON

The Friends School basketball
squad found little difficulty in de-
feating Elkton High yesterday, and
ran up a 1920 score. The Quakers
commenced the game with crippled
lineup, Berl, and Bob Layfield being
out of the game Nevertheless they
started out with a rush and we're
never headed. Nippy Hartman was
at his best IN the first period and
Gagged four tosses right off the reel.
Heald and Groome, kept the locals in
the game, In the opening session by
two goals apiece, and at the end of
the first twenty minutes the figures
stood 1912 in favor of Friends.
The second period was figured by
long shots by both teams and this
broke up a good bit of the passing
Heald, Dibert and Taylor ripped off
some distance heaves that helped to
make the struggle interesting
Elkton was within three points of
the Quakers, during the middle of the
second half, the figures being 1920,
but a rally by Friends, in which
Heald, Taylor and Groome lombard

charges TO the fore again. The visi-
tors put up better game than was
expected and gave Friends a great
run for a time. The lineup:

cause Of many a girls downfall, Mrs.

ply, especially while shopping
1T is when rich woman goes shopping
that she is thrown in contact with girls
who most need her example of plain
dressing asserted the speaker. "Espe-
cially should we be careful in the selec-
ton of hats. The new spring styles show
more nonsensical trimming than ever be-
fore. We should realize that the wear
ing OF these foolish. meaningless, fam
boyant hats is great evil
The need of the wider use of school
buildings was pointed out by Mrs Doro-

MANY BOYS SEEK TO JOIN
CAPITALS SCOUT TROOPS
Activities Of Youths March and a
Lead to Greater Interest in
Organization.

Activities of Boy Scouts March and
have been followed by great increase
in the number of applications for mem
bership in the organization. according to
reports from the various scoutmasters
which have been received by Scout Com
missioner Martin. Some of the troops
have had as many as twenty requests for
application papers to take the tenderfoot
examination.

Hyattsville, Md, Assistant Scout Com
missioner Frank C. Wood has organized
new Boy Scout troop at that place.
Within the next few days he will organize
a troop at the Friends School in this

A uniform staff made of the toughest of
hickory that can be subjected to the
toughest of treatment without damag-
ing 1t probably will be prescribed as a
part Of the official Boy Scout equipment
as the result of the experiences the scouts
had with slaves of lighter construction
in their efforts to hold back the crowds
during the suffrage parade March 3.
Scout Commissioner Martin has sug-
gested to the national scout headquarters
that the official Boy Scout staff be made
of three-cornered strip of the tough
est hickory with rounded edges. He has
suggested that one side be marked off in
feet and inches and another in the metric
system of measurement. The remaining
side is to be left blank SO that the scout
owning it can burn his name, class and
troop number on it with q hot iron or
regular typography needle The staff is
to be about six feet six inches in length.
Mr.. Martin is having several such slaves
made in this city and within a few days
they will be forwarded to the national
Boy Scout Office to be tested before being
adopted as the official Boy Scout staff.

THE Teachers Duty to the Pupils and
to the Church was the subject of an
address delivered by Bishop Harding at a
meeting of the Sunday School Institute,
Diocese of Washington. in Epiphany par
ish hall last evening. Declaring that no
church could exist long without young
people, Bishop Harding said that a great

make each child feel a personal interest
in the Sunday school and its work, he
said.
Miss Leila Mechlin, head of the infant
department of the afternoon Sunday
school, urged the use of pictures In teach
ing lessons, saying that they made more
lasting impressions upon the minds of
the young children than did the usual
kind of lesson.

It has been published in the daily pa

should not be draped on his box. When

people where they are most sensitive
in their patriotism, their love for the
flag and the anthem, and the Difference

Of classes at night in which persons who
have to work in the day may receive ele-

have never been large enough to run the
classes the same length of time as the
day classes, but ordinarily, as in the
present case, enough to conduct classes
in certain buildings throughout the city
for about sixty school nights
View of School Official.
1t probably would not be advisable to
attempt to continue the classes until the
end of the day scholastic year, in the
opinion of one official today, as most of
the attendance would drop off, He
thought 1t would be advisable to continue
them about a month or six weeks later,
however.
Attendance in the night schools this
year has apprOximated about 1900 pupils,
ranging in ages in the teens to more than
half century, and embracing a large
number of different races. Fully 1900
pupils, it is said, have attended the
schools regularly and have been greatly
benefited thereby.
Three Nights Each Week.
Two white high schools-the Business
and the Mckinley Manual Training
School-have been kept open. as well as
a number of grade schools. Three nights
