other teams in the city.

says he thinks he has a laSter COM

right forward, has Gagged twenty bas-
kets. while Jacobsen has thirteen; har-

Not Enthusiastic In Praise.

Not all of the entomologiSts look
ing on" at the congress are enthus-
iast!c in praise of Senior Manana
scheme. and some call him mere
visionary. Others, more cruel. speak
Of him as nut" The senior. how
ever, does not care. Furthermore he
does not believe in putting his bugs
all in one basket. In event Of his
Cucaracha bug falling down on the
lob he possesses as an au&lllary eA-
nedition, the renowned MelanolesteS
picipes. colloQuiany known as the
kissing bug. 1t is the senor's idea TO
make America so untenable for the
kissing bug that he will migrate in
inuumerable hordes to Europe and
attack the opposing armies.
Senior Manana Is certain that the
kissing bugs eXamnle VIII be con-
tagious, and the war Will terminate
when the boys gaVotte from the
trenches and lombard each other with
42-ccntimcter OSCILLATIONS. But listen
to the Senior himself:
"Eet is too sad that the oscaire
Two did not have the MelanolesteS
Picipes on board. Then thaire would
not have been the terrible QuarrelinG.
The only deefculty | see ees the kiss
ing bug will become lost and be-
wildered in these terrible maze of
Russian whiskaiTes. But then. senior,
we men OF brains must become used
to the numerous deehcultles of
scienCe."
Among other solutions to the Eu-
ropean embroglio advanced by some
of the near scientists attracted here
by the congress. perhaps the best is
the scheme propounded by Senior En-
i'll Torreador. His plan. while a
