GRASSES
Bermuda. a.-Cynodon dactylon)
This grass is about the best for
lawns in regions with a short
rainfall and where the winters
are not too cold for it. At Dali

kill out badly during the winter,
but farther south at Tucumcari,

valuable grass for planting at
that point. The bermuda grass
is easily storted by planting

But we win on forever.
with apologies to Tennyson)
However foolish the above parody
may seem, yet 1t is the gospel truth
with the high school basketball team
so far this season. In fact, not a
team has even approached our score,
the nearest falling ten points short.
Friday evening the high school team
journeyed to Doane academy, where
they met one of the fastest teams In
the state. Although on a strange
floor and handicapped by the loss of
Captain Shireman, who hurt his eye
this week, and Porter, the high school
team pulled through on the big end OF
1928 score. 1t you are still not
reconciled to believe the above par.
.ody, just take a peep at the record
of the high school team SO far this
season:
Mt. Vernon 43, GAINESVILLE 81.
Mt. Vernon 62, Newark 49,
Mt. Vernon 81, Marysville 21.

VICTORY
For Mt. Vernon High School
Over DOdne
AT Basket Ball On Friday
Evening
Local High School Makes
Great Showing

Mt. Vernon high school defeated the
Doane Academy five at Granville Fri
day evening by score Of 33 to % In
a fast game that was marked by clean
and sportsmanlike play. The Mt. Yer
non team tried out two substitutes
who made an excellent showing and
gave proof Of the fact that the local
squad embraces a number of very
able men who can step into the posi-
tions of the regulars at any time.
The floor in the Dennison gymnasi-
um, where the game was played, is
much larger that that of the Mt. Yer
non Y. M. G.. A. building where the
home team has played practically all
of its games. The fact that they
worked even better on the big floor
than on the small one has given the
boys great confidence and their
chances for supremacy at the Della
ware tournament loom large and
bright. The Delaware floor is the
largest in the state.
Mt. Vernon played a dashing game
Friday night and passed circles
around the prep school boys. The
large floor helped out the fast team
work of the locals and enabled them
to keep possession of the ball most
of the time. Their signals were work
ed to great advantage and were used
far more successfully than at any
time before in the season. Seymour,
Clayton and Yauger of the regulars
started the contest. Mitchell started
at center and Shut started at guard.
Captain Shireman and Bonds played in
the last half.
GAINESVILLE will play Mt Vernon on
the local floor tonight. They are much
faster than when Mt. Vernon played
them in the first of the season and a
hard game is anticipated. The bleach
er seats will not be reserved tonight
as has been the custom in the past

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 31.-The collision
between the Old Dominion line steam
er Monroe and the steamer Nan.
tucket Of the Merchants and Miners
Transportation company was one OF
the most shocking tragedies in the
history of the Atlantic coastwise
trade. The disaster occurred at Hog
island, northeast of Cape Charles,
Va, in dense. fog, the Nantucket
ramming the Monroe. The Monroe,
rent from her stem clear back to her
engine room, filled and sank within
10 minutes of the collision.
The Monoe had left Norfolk bound
for New York with a full crew, a
heavy passenger list and a cargo val:
ued at more than S500,tOO. The Nan
tucket was inbound from Boston with
a few passengers and a considerable
cargo
In the dead of night, with the stars
shining brilliantly overhead. but the
ships surrounded by fog, they ap-
preached each other. Not until they
were within actual hail Of the voice
did the officers of either craft discern
the lights Of the other. Then it was
too late. The whistles shrieked their
warning, the signal bells tinBGed, but
too late. The great steel prov OF the
Nantucket struck the Monroe about
80 feet abaft her port bow.
Right through her the Nantucket
cut its way like knife through cheese.

OYSTERS
Are Good Baked On ObIOngS
Of Toast

Oysters parboiied for few minutes
in their own liquor are served in many
attractive ways, and as first course
at dinner can be so arranged as to
prove q satisfactory substitute for the
uncooked, says the New York Sun.
Parboiled oysters served ice cold in
the half shell are capable of pleasing
variety. Thus after seasoning each
oyster with lemon juice and salt put
half teaspoon of tartar sauce on
each and on that tiny bit Of caviare.
A slice of lemon should be placed In
the center of the plate where the tips
of the shells converse.
If more caviare is liked, half the
| surface of the oyster can be covered
with the caviare and half with tartar
sauce, a leaf of watercress being laid
where they meet. This idea can be
| carried out in variety of decorative
ways which add charm to table.
Large oysters, scalded and then
iced, are appropriately served as
hors doeuvre. Three oysters, each
spoon of French dressing favored
Take an oblong of toasted or sauted
bread, and on one half spread the
oyster mixture and on the other
spread caviare. Where the two meet
place a stuffed olive or tiny radish
The chopped oysters can be served
alone in the same way, with garnish
of lemon strips.
There are also several suitable
methods of serving oysters hot as
first course. One of the best is to ar
range the oysters on the half shell II
