Skill In the fundamentals must
be attained before holding scrim-
images, so devote the early season
to conditioning, through moder-
ate handling of the ball.
When shooting from the field,
the overhead shot with arms
fully extended Is best. The un-
derhand shot from waist or knees
ID more accurate in practice, but
slow and easily intercepted. The
best free-shot throwers use the
underhand shot.
When close to the basket the
scorer should leap high and shoot
at the top of his leap, with one or
both hands. The shooter must
follow the ball, to secure the re-
bound, without an instant's loss.
Many young players fail to do
this.
Short and long shots, scoring
from rebound, dribbling and pass

rebound.

one OF the benches near the center,
stretching his legs out straight In

frowning under the tilted brim Of his

Darkness had not quite fallen yet,
and all about him poured the home
ward-bound crowds from the neighbor-

ceasing stream, varied as the nations
OF the earth.
Quieter and yet more quiet grew
the square. At this hour the virtuoue
were eating in their homes, while the

"Or let your spirit out of its cage"
she said.
For the third time Hill committed
his greatest mistake.
"You are foolish child" he said
angrily. Very we'll, then, I'll go. But
warn you, If you send me of, Ill not

For a moment he waited, hoping
that she would speak, but she said
nothing, merely standing there and
trembling a little, though white and
and silent. Suddenly Hill turned on
his heel.
"Confound all women!" he NUT
tered, and without single backward
glance flung himself out Of the room

stood motionless, and then throwing
her arms out wildly, she cried his
name aloud.

arrived at the stair-head just in time

State Sec'y Y. NJ. C. A, Chairman Of
Commission on Relief and Welfare.
ed. Mr.. Nesbit is one of the men
who have done things in the welfare
work of a great city, and his words of
advice &c the Conference will be lis
tened to with deep attention.
The reports of the commissions that
have been at work on various phases
of Names great social and civic
problems are beginning to come in at
the headquarters of the general COM
mitee, and these will be printed in
time to be in the hands of the dele
gates at the opening of the confer
ence.
One of these deals with prison re-
form and makes the startling state
ment that more than half the cells in
the Thomaston State prison are seven
feet long, four feet wide and six and
one-half feet high, with no provision
for ventilation The prisoner occu-
pies the cell when not in the shop,
and the time he Is compelled to
breathe the four air ranges from one
hour at, noon to 10 hours at night,
and 81 hours including the Sunday
period, or 81 hours when a holiday
falls on Sunday. There are now men
in Thomaston, who have occupied
such cells in such manner for over 20
years.
Another report already received is
that of Rev Wilbur r. Berry, D. D.,
on the subject of "Intemperance." DR..
Berry's finding and recommendations
will be Of deep interest to the dele
gates.
What Shall We Do With the In
ebriatcs?" is another social question
which will be discussed. The report
on this matter says that the inebriate
problem in the State of Maine is moth
ing more or less than the Jail problem
