Wabash Prepares to Fight
Valiantly for Secondary
College Honors of State
Tonight.
A LARGE TICKET SALE
Record Breaking Crowd Elk
pected to See Seasons Best
Basketball Game on Local
Schedule.

Both Earlham and Wabash are pre-
pared for a hard basketball game at
the Coliseum tonight. Seat sales indi-
cate the largest crowd that ever wit
messed a basketball game in this city.
The preliminary will be between
the Y. nj. C. A. and the A. S. NJ. Co.
The ''Y" crowd expects little trouble
in taking the game tonight, but will
take no chances on the unexpected
happening. Lanning and Duning will
be out of tonight's contest resting up
for the Dayton game tomorrow night,
Parker and Roach filling the gap.
Reports from the camps of the yell
low and White and the Scarlet say
that both squads are in pink of condi-
ton and as the dope slightly favors
the Scarlet on comparative scores, the
Quakers have the advantage Of play
ing on their home floor, which about
evens the chances of both teams.
Wabash always has been the stumb-
ling block of the Earlham men, VIM
ing a large majority of the games
played in the past, the Quakers, how
ever, hope to even things in this
game. The regular lineup of the
Quakers is intact, and with the team
going good again since the recent
slump the Richmond crowd is expect
ed to keep the larger end of the score
In Richmond
The record of Wabash this season
is the best ever made by a secondary
institution and to defeat the Scarlet
means work for the fighting Quakers.
The teams will lineup as follows:

Doctor Prom expresses the opinion
thai the oyster may be allowed,
therefore. to those dyspeptics whose
gastric functions are deficient, in
anorexla, gastric atony, ulcer and In.
cipient cancer, and to c~onvalescents
from acute disease, as 1t is likely to
improve the appetite and to excite the
stomach to increased motor and chem.
ical activity.

forbid the oyster as we'll as all other

~dyspeptics the gastric secretion is al.

ORIGIN OF 4LowER HOUSE,
What Charles Dickens Wrote After AZ.
tending Session Of the LaAA
!. Making Body.

What Is now Statuary hall was occu.
pied by the house OF representatives
from 1907 to 1874. when the capitol
was in ruins. After the restoration OF
the building two or three years later
the house convened again in this hall
and continued its sessions there until
the autumn Of 1857, when the present
chamber in the south wing was taken
possession of by the house Of repre-
sentatives. The drapery and furniture
chairs, desks and sofas-were re-
moved from the old hall and the wood
en- door was relaid with marble. The
floor Of the old chamber used to be
four feet lower than It is at present
and was lower than the floor of the
old senate, now occupied by the Unit
ed States Supreme court. One author
has said that from this fact originated
The habit OF calling the house of rep
resentatives the lower house." Ev-
erybody knows that the tive branches
OF congress are coordinate and that
neither LIS higher or lower than the
other, but the phrases upper house"
and lower house" persist.
The house met in this chamber when
Charles Dickens made his first visit to
the United States, and part of his un-
popularity was due to his description
or the place and the habits Of the
members. Part Of what he wrote was
this:
1t Is a beautiful and spacious hall
OF semicircular shape supported by
handsome pillars. One part of the gal
lery Is appropriated to ladies', where
they sit in front rows, and come in
and go out as at a play or concert.
IL is an elegant chamber to look at.
but a singularly bad one for all pur-
poses OF hearing. The house is hand
somely carpeted. but the state to
which these carpets are reduced by
the universal disregard Of the spit
ICONS, with which every honorable
member is provided, and the extraor-
binary improvement on the pattern
which has been squirted and dabbled
upon 1t in every direction, does not
ADMIT of being described. 1t is strange
enough to see an honorable gentleman
leaning back in his tilted chair with
MS legs on his desk before him, shap-
ing a convenient plug with his PEN
knife. and when he Is quite ready to
use 1t, shoot the old one from his
mouth as from a popgun and clap the
new one In Its place. l was surprised
20 learn that steady old chewers of

Early knowledge of Cancer.

The Egyptians recognized cancer
as a growth within the tissues Of the
nody, and CELSIUS elaborated upon this
when he discovered that some growths
were malignant and some benign.
Then In $50 B. C. Leonides declared
nat the only hope of cure lay in Grad
lcating the growth entirely from the
body.
Today the fact remains that cancer
Is a growth within the cell tissue Of
the human body, but the cause of 1t is
little better understood.

TECHNICALLY ONCE OF USE
Undoubtedly Served Good Purpose
When Criminal Laws Were SO
unreasonably Severe.

You remember the trial scene In
The Merchant Of Venice" The quail
lily of mercy" has failed. The learned
Daniel Of Judgment has refused the
plea to "wrest once the law to your
authority" Shylock is whetting his
knife for the pound Of flesh. And then
-Tarry a little, there Is something
else. The bond doth give thee here
no jot of blood"-a technicality. All
through the English law of the period
1 am discussing, English criminal law
yers, with the conniyance Of humane
English judges, were playing the part
OF Portia. inventing ingenious excuses
by which humanity might triumph
over barbarism. Here is q man in
dicted for stealing a sheep-penalty,
death. The proof was that he stole
a eve, but the statute used the word
eve" as we'll as Sheep" and the
prisoner escaped. He had not stolen
a sheep.
In 1927, an indictment read that the
jurors "on their OATH" instead of ION
their oaths," charged a man with a
crime and for this reason the indict.
ment was found defective and on this
technicality the prisoner was dis.
charged.
That these technicalities were in
their OWL time undesirable substitutes
for h law reform must be admitted.
But they had a reason for existence,
due to the barbarous condition of the
criminal law.-World's Work.
