country out of war. If we reach the point where we have to fight for our rights we will all fight with equal en- thusiasm, but we ought to take no steps that lead to trouble, and this bill may bring foreign difficulties and perhaps war"
 Representative Alexander of Missouri closed the debate for the bill just before midnight with vigorous defense of President Wilson.
 Let us take it for granted that this bill originated at the White House." he said, "can you find better source? There is no man of higher ideals or more profound learning. of higher statesman ship than the man in the White House today. Tt is contemptible for you repub- licans to try to slur him.
 "If the republican leader is right in his statement that he believed the Presi- dent is sincere in his desire for neutrality. what becomes of all these predictions tlat this bill will lead to war Certainly the President will see to it that no ships are purchased which might involve this country in difficulties
 Cheers came from the democratic side as MT. Alexander concluded and called for vote. The republicans indicated their intention of demanding roll calls on all amendments, and the first was taken on a change in phraseology.
 The amendment was carried, 301 to 31.
 The tactics of the republicans, threaten ing to drag out the roll calling indefinite ly. the democratic leaders at midnight brought in a second special rule to limit the number of yea and nay votes to five.

DELANO EXPLAINS
 RESERVE SYSTEM

Baltimore, February 16.-Frederic A. DeLano, vice governor of the federal reserve board, explained to the i;alti- more Credit Mems association tonight the federal reserve act from the point of view of business man." He said that in some particulars the functions of the federal reserve banks have been misunderstood. Important as they, are as the central banks of their districts, he said, they 'are not in any sense wholesalers of money to their member banks, who, in turn, dis pense or retail it at profit to their customers"
 "Their gross assets said Mr. De- Lano, really bear only a small ratio to that of the aggregate of the stock holding banks, and while their powers and influence are great, their actual currency issuing power will represent, after all the reserves have been paid, in oray some 12 to IS per cent of total loanable fund of banks in the coun- try. national and state"

 Coach Courleaux of the Central High school lined up Luther Strange of the Birmingham Athletic club and Paul Ga- nong of the All Stars at center and blew his whistle. The game started with roar of approval from the several hun dred of spectators among whom were more than a sprinkling of the feminine gender.
 From the moment the game started the going was so fast that it could not be followed. It was a slam-bang affair, and there was always one or two players on the floor. Finally, after about a min ute of time had elapsed Brazeltof of the B. A. c. received neat pass from Lu- ther Strange and tossed the ball in the basket for the first goal.
 Following Brazelton's goal Referee Courleaux called several fouls on both teams, on which Paul Ganong of the All Stars easily displayed his superiority as foul thrower. In the first half Me Gowan threw three fouls in succession and then missed four. while Ganong made good on five of his eight chances in the first half, while in the second half Ga nong threw seven fouls in 13 attempts. But for the foul shooting of Ganong the score would have been tremendously one sided in favor of the B. A. c.
 In the second half Clay replaced Strange at center and Strange took Tommie Me Gowan's position at forward. McGowan retired. owing to injuries. After five min utes had elapsed in the second half Di- rector Nespor replaced Durham with Hem ' ley, the fast High school forward. The second half was much faster than the previous period and the All Stars rushed the B. A c. off their feet but were un- fortunate in their throwing to the goal. For the second half the score stood 9 to s in favor of the All Stars. a : Among the feature players of the game was Gilem, the High school star for ward and Paul Ganong of the All Stars These two players scored the 16 points Nespor's $ team made in the. entire game, For the B. "A. c. Strange was a whirl- wind on the offensive and defensive play ing. and the guard play of Crest Black and Enneking kept the much heralded Click and Gillem of. the All Stars from scoring. In passing the honors were about even. .s..s.s.
 We played them off their feet said Director z. Nespor, land will surely de- feat the B. A. c. on Friday night. We lost tonight because we have not played together. It must be remembered that everyone of the All Stars play on different teams and never had played together. Sill we made a. favorable showing and We will walk away from the B. A. c. on their own floor, next Friday night"
 Tt was cinch, said Doc Glow pfy- sical director of the B. A C., "and the city championship is practically ours. vas under the impression that Nespor had good team, and perhaps he has.

BASKETBALL.


 CocRATEs, god of wisdom, that
 was some game at the city hall 0 gymnasium last night. With a little luck the All-Stars should have won. As it was they gave the B. A C. quite scare
 Director z. Nespor pitted five small, wiry individuals against the brawny B. A. c. athletes. Nespor's finesse told as the little fellows played rings around their giant opponents, but they were very unfortunate in their goal shooting.
 However. due credit should be given the B. A. C. for the gameness they displayed on a strange floor. And then the crowd was antagonistic and oheered only for the Al-Stars.
 Crest Black, the heavy guard of the E. A. C., played star game last night He was tower of strength on the defensive and the fleet Gillem only escaped once to score. Enneking, the other B. A. C. guard, hung about Click, the star forward of the All Stars and effectively stopped this SCOT ing machine. The guard playing of Black and Enneking was not exactly parlor basketball. but it was effective as effective as a porous plaster in that they stuck to their men.
 In the second half Clay, the elongated center of the B. A. C., fouled Paul Ganong, and then becamed peeved at Referee Courleux, because the latter saw it. In the few words that followed Courleux showed his firmness by calling another foul on Clay, and then Physical Director Glow rushed on the floor.
 Coach CourleuX saw the pugnacious Doc Glow coming and before the fiery director of B. A. C. athletics could start anything he was brusuuey told tc get off the floor. Captain Tommie McGowan then entered the argument

Ottawa, Ont. February 1S.-The do- minion government has asked the Uni ted States to place guards on the Amer ican side of the international boundary at highway and rail approaches to Cail- ada, it was learned tonight. The re- quest was made through the British ambassador at Washington.

T0DAY's BEAUTY HELPS

Nothing excites more criticism than
woman with her face all daubed
with face powder in her desire to hide
faulty or an aged skin. Instead of
using powder which clogs and en-
larses the pores. 1t is far better to use
a good face lotion that will improve and
permanently bentfit the skin. BY dis
solving four ounces Of spurmax in a
half pint of hot water you can make
an inexpensive lotion that will do won
ders as skin whitener and complex
ion beautifier. 1t removes all shininess,
sallowness and roughness, and gives the
skin a smooth, velvety tone, while it
does not rub off easily like powder, nor
does it show on the skin.
BY washing the hair with teaspoon
full Of canthrox dissolved in a cup of
hot water, afterward rinsing thorough
ly with clear water. one finds that it
dries quickly and evenly, is unstreaked
bright soft and very fluffy, so fluffy
in fact, that it looks more abundant
than it is and SO soft that arranging it
becomes a pleasure. This simple. mex
pensive shampoo cleanses the hair and
scalp thoroughly of all dandruff and
dirt and leaves a clean, wholesome
feeling. All scalp irritation will disap-
pear, and the hair will be brighter and
glossier than ever before.
