The going out of the ice at Dawson this year seems to have been the cause of more discord to the square foot than was ever before engender- ed in Dawson. If there had not been something like twenty thousand dollars staked in the pools on the exact minute when the ice would go out, the discord would not have been engendered, hatred would not have ranked and enemities would not have been incubated. As it was, however, most of the' pools were declared off and several men who confidently be- lieved they had won all the way from fifty to six thousand dollars, had to be content with getting their ven ture money back, which, in the cix thousand dollar pools, was one hun dred dollars, sixty men going in, to that extent, one for every minute in the entire "pot"-if things had work ed out as they were expected to work. That the exact time of the going out of the ice was to have been determ- ined by the blowing of whistle fastened by wire to a fixture on the ice, the moving of the latter to pull open the whistle. But it appears that some fellow, in his zeal to delay the sounding of the whistle for a minute. or until it was time for his gue". to win, ut the whistle wire Hence, the discord. Now, Dawson ties say there will not be any gam bling on the going out of the ice in future years.-Ex.

My designs are for craft that will be able to cross the ocean in thirty five hours"
 Frau Reese some time ago married one of her pupils. She has turned out about forty pilots from her school. She now owns six aeroplanes. Speaking of the development of aviation, she said:
 "The future development of aviation so far as the sport is concerned. espe- cially for women. lies upon the water, where it is easy to fly and there is lit tie danger. It is only when the manu- facturers recognize this that flying will attain the popularity it deserves"
 Frau Reese said that German boys who formerly ran off to sea to become sailors are now brought by their par ents to the flying school to be turned into pilots. although they are not al- ways promising material. She said that women learn the art much easier than men. except the mechanical knowledge. They have more presence of mind than the men and act quickly in an emergency. Unfortunately all her women pupils take out marriage licenses before the end of the course and marry pilots instead of taking out pilots licenses.

"SoIdiers of Peace"

In an article on Soldiers o1 Peace in the Sunday Magazine, descrlplns esspecially the work of the summer military instruction camps, Secretary of War Garrison says:
 whenever anything pertaining to the army is mentioned most persons think of regiments, bullets, blood shed, hatred and war. l fear that we as a nation have not the proper at titude toward the army Too many of HIS fail to discriminate between war and the function of the army there to. For the soldier, whose very pres ence is a protection against unjust force, the people have negligent at titude, if not one of outright dls- approval. I must confess that can not on any reasonable ground ac- count for this, and l am extremely de- sirous that the people of the United States should know about the army and should have that pride in it which it merits, which it is very desirable for the people themselves that they should feel; because the people can add much to the army's usefulness if they will but give it it's due ap- preciation. A department of the gov ernment is misnamed when it is call ed the department of war, if in the aggregate it has been used less often for warfare than for the continuance of peace, the safeguarding of life and the preservation of property. The War Department of the United States stamps out disease, promotes con- merce. works for human welfare in the tropics, helps open up the frozen north to settlement, and, above all, is actively engaged in educational work. The increased in terest in the military needs of our country--not only among students, but among educated people every where-is very gratifying. l am sure that if our citizens only knew more about the subject of national defen- ses, and the ways and means vital to proper state of preparedness the War Department would not have to beg consideration of it's projects, but the people themselves would demand their carrying out I feel, therefore, that the plan devised to increase the country's military efficiency without increasing the army to the ratio of strictly military nations is a happy one It would provide opportunities for hundreds of young men to be- come both good soldiers and good artisa1s, so that proficiency in one line would not be at the cost of the other"

 Melli Reese is widely known not only as daring flier and as Germany's only woman aeroplane pilot, but as the only woman in the world who conducts q flying school, of which she herself is the principal, and who makes busi- ness of designing and manufacturing flying machines.

She is not discouraged by the fact that she has broken her legs in five places, sustained fractures of several ribs and has broken her nose three times in tumbles out of the air. These acci- dents, she declares, were the fault of her teachers and did not happen when she herself was at the wheel.

BASKETBALL

NEW YORK, November 2s.yc--A point
mat has given rise TO moye disputes
than any other I'm intercollegiate bns-
ketball games-the relations between
the dribbler and the man guarding
was perhaps the most Important ques-
t!on clarified at the annual interprcta-
ton meeting of the Intercollegiate Bias
ketbnll Assocint lon at the Astor Hotel.
Referees In the past have been in the
habit OF calling n foul on the guard
whenever tho players came into con-
tact on the theory that the defense
man was blocking illegally.
1t was made clear. however. that II
Is just as possible for tho dribbler to
make the foul possible by charging
illegally.
After long discussion, it was de-
cided that all privilege OF the dribbler
to charge into guard DO denied him.
that under such conditions II IL the
duty OF the dribbler to change his di-
rection or stop his dribble and mako
another play.
Referees are to be instructed that in
case OF doubt the foul shall be charged
to the man who Is the aggressor. If
the guard charges in to check the man
he Is the aggressor, but II he plays
the ball without showing any intention
OF charging Into his opponent, q foul
shall not be charged against him.
Another matter. thoroughly dissected
was the question whether 1t is possible
for q guard to block legally from be-
hind, and II uas finally ruled that a
man guarding from behind be permitted
to use one arm Mt a time In blocking,
provided the man Is not hooked There
may be personal contact under these
conditions. hut. unless the guard roughs
his man or charges Into him. he shall
not be penalized.
To eliminate one element of delay the
amendment was passed that when
player is SO closely guarded that he Is
unable TO play the ball and purposeiy
holds IT, held ball shall be called by
the referee. even though the defense
man has not succeeded in touching the
ball.
