The basketball game between the
Glenwood High and the Mt. Lincoln
"Peach Pickers' proved to be an ex-
cellent exhibition of the winters sport.
The first half began with Mt. Lincoln
scoring the first point, it being a foul.
Glenwood Immediately tied with their
opponents, but. in the remainder of this
half Mt. Lincoln started steadily and
slowly to climb into the lead and at the
close the score stood Mt. Lincoln IL,
Glenwood 4. In the next half an mex
perienced referee from Mt. Lincoln was
substituted. The GlenwOod five took q
brace in this half and went after the
scalps of the peach pickers and at one
time were ahead by l3 to u. Then
Mt. Lincoln was able to score more
entirely outclassed Mt. Lincoln in team
work and all around playing; this was
shown by the fact that the ball was
mostly in GlenwoOd s territory. The
number of points scored by each player
was as follows:

Exaggerated Casualties.

A West Point Graduate In the Outlook.
A news dispatch stated recently that
the Germans had destroyed three Rus
sian corps of 10000 men and had cap
tured 10000. In the complete rout OF
the Russian army at Mukden the Jap
anese captured only about 10000. and
in the civil war the north lost in
killed but a little over 100000 in the
whole four years. 1t would be a hu-
man impossibility to destroy 10000
men in one battle. A loss of 20 per
cent in killed and wounded is about all
that seasoned troops will stand before
giving way. and 10 per cent is a fright
ful loss

The Witches Brew.

KHANY writer's In reaching out fol
IVA words aptly to describe the Euro
pean catastrophe have called 1t the
witches brew" 1t Is a reference that
is familiar to all readers Of or listeners
to Shakespeare. but comparatively few
could quote the lines or call the list of
horrors which Shakespeare made the
witches mix in their terrible cauldron.
There were poisoned entrails." toad

Of newt and toe of frog. wool of bat
and tongue of dog, adder's fork and
blind-worm's sting, lizards leg and
owlet's wing. for charm Of powerful
trouble, like a hell-broth boil and bub

The foregoing ingredients were cast
into the cauldron by the first and the
contributed ',Scale of dragon. tooth of

throwing In these tit-bits the witch
whined, Make the cruel thick and
slab, add thereto tigers chaudron,
for the Ingredients of our cauldron."
After all this had been done and the
fire burned and the cauldron bubbled,
the second witch adjured that 1t be
cooled with a baboons blood.
Hecate was evidently gratifled at the
SAVIOR Of the stew and told the witches:
70; well done; 1 commend your pains
and every one shall share + the gains.
And now about the cauldron sing like
the fairies in a ring, enchanting all
that you put in" The witches sing
the song called BLACK Spirits.' at the
copclusion Of the last stanza Of which
witch No. 2 says. by the pricking of
my thumbs. something wicked this way
comes: open locks, whoever knocks
and Macbeth enters the witches cave.
After some conversation of a ferocious
tenor the first witch advises that there
be added to the brew '.Sow's bloc
| that hath eaten her nine farrow." and
| that the flames be given fresh fuel in
the form of Grease that's sweaten
from the murderer's gibbet."
The witches brew is one of the hor-
rible inventions Of a master fancy; the
war the most terrible actuality perhaps
Of all the ages. There seems certain
warrant for calling the world war q
witches brew.

TEST OF RANGE FINDER
FOR DROPPING OF BOMBS
Device of United States Army Ex-
pected to Overcome Euro
pean Difficulties.

Successful experiments in dropping
bombs from aeroulanes at the Army
zero station at San Diego. Cal. are re-
ported to the War Department. A new
tvne of aero bomb produced bv the
Ordnance Department and an aeroolane
range finder invented by Riley E. Scott.
a former United States Army artillery
officer. were used in the experiments.
which it is expected will increase the
effectivness of alta cks from aeroplanes
The bombs, which were of two sizes,
fifteen and fifty pounds were equipped
with adjustable fuses. Until it Is set
the bomb can be handled with perfect
safety.
In dropping from an aeroplane the
bomb Is slipped down into a net below
the machine.
The aviator then pulls the string at
tached to the fuse, which loads" or
arms (as ordnance officers express it,
the net is opened and the bomb
dropped. The Scott range finder is tel
escopic and indicates just when the
bomb should be dropped in order to
strike the target. 1t does this by esti-
mating the speed of the machine and
its height above the ground.
With all of the attention that the
European armies have been giving to
aeroplanes and Zeppelins 1t appears
that none Of them has developed a re-
liable range finder. Most of the bombs
dropped have been guided only by q
Judgement of distances and estimates
on the speed of the aeroplanes without
the aid Of any instruments. That, 1t is
stated, accounts for the failure of any
Of the powers in the present war to do
very much effective work with bombs
at high altitude.
The maximum height at which the
tests were made at San Diego was
$500 feet. 1t is declared that the
enable military aviators with proper
training to do effective work at a
height of 5000 feet. That would place
aeroplanes out of the range of small
arms and most of the field artillary
