pleasant Incident of Trip to
Galesburg.

Members of the Moline high school
basketball team, which played Gales
burg high school in that city Friday
evening. were the victims OF what ap-
pears TO have been a serious prank, If
nothing worse. An overcoat, gold

three pairs of shoes belonging to the

their gymnasium toys. and were not
recovered. Ellis lost the overcoat,
while the watch, valued at $25, was
the property OF Hallowell.

ton is that some of the college stu
dents took the property as joke on
the high school boys The prank. IL
II was one, caused a great deal of in
convenience. and the victims are dis
posed to prefer charges if they are
able TO find out who was at the bottom
of it.

being 3S TO 10. In the first half the
Moliners made but two field baskets

city boys gained. a little. Williams,
playing center for the first time, was
the best of the Moline performers, get
ting three field baskets. while Boyd

would discard ice water as a menace

Women have learned the value of
white dresses in the summer time,
said Dr. Crumbne. Il can't understand
why the men haven't learned the les

heat In the summer makes for health.
Black. blue or any other dark cloth Is
| heat absorbent and injurious.
"Our summer temperatures are as
high and sometimes higher. than In the

the tropics are not whim of fashion.
