Didn't Make Good
At Creighton, but
He's Bear at Depauw

The return of Alexander Jameson,
erstwhile foot ball scrub at Creighton,
to spend the Christmas holidays at
home. has disclosed the fact that Alex
has developed into n regular varsity
player. Like so many would-be stars
at Creighton, Jameson found it impos-
sible to convince the blue and white
coaches of his ability on the gridiron,
and this year left the school to con-
tinue his law studies at De Paw uni
versity in Chicago. 1t took Jamie" just
one game to make good at DePauw,
and before the seasons finish his spec
tacular playing had won for him the
appellation Demon Jameson
Alex started the season at end, waa
then shifted to tackle, and on account
of terrific tackling and smashing UP Of
interference was placed in the backfield,
where he starred as fullback the rest of
the season. Jamie" Is regarded as one
OF the best players who ever hit the
line for the Chicago school.

EXPECT Big YEAR IN STATE
Secondary Colleges of Nebraska
Lining Up for Most Successful
Season in History.
WESLEYAN TACKLES BIG JOB

The greatest basket ball season in his
tory is what the Nebraska colleges are
confidently anticipating.
In practically every secondary school
in the state an abundance of material
TO make up fast quintets is reported.
Where the crack veterans of last year
have graduated from school II seems to
be a fact that in practically every in
stance the school will have several fast
high school players with which to fill
the breach. Thus II il almost all OF the
secondary colleges are predicting a most
successful year.
Nebraska Wesleyan will attract the
most interest from floor fans this sea-
son. This school has had wonderful
teams during the last few years and
expects to have another great five this
year.
Coach Kline will have his hands full
this season, however. For Kline Is up
against a schedule which will probably
prove to be the hardest any school the
size of wesleyan ever undertook.

CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY,

Mrs Harry Waters delightfully."- en-
tertained ten little folks last Tuesday
afternoon after school hours in honor Of
Master Harlan's 9Th birthday. The
time was spent in many games that Just
elk year-olds know how to make merry at.
Mrs. Waters served dainty refreshments.
After the children had had their time
the grandparents all came to aid in the
celebration and remained to partake of
fine 6 o'clock dinner. Both young
and old voted it az ideal and enjoyable
affair and one long to be remembered.
Harlan received many pretty gifts as a
reminder OF the day.

Fer Refreshing Sleep.

A common cause for restless sleep
Is bed with sagging springs and cob
ble-stone mattress. For the victim
of insomnia money spent for good
springs and mattress is we'll invested.
1t is difficult to relax your head rest
ing on hill, your feet on another
and bottomless abyss between.
There are countless schemes for
forcing relaxation when sleep comes
reluctantly Sometimes it may help
to count imaginary sheep filing
through a breach in a stone wall, or
just to count slowly until you for
get yourself. But we imagine bet
ter plan is to think away back and
try to recall memories of childhood
and the little incidents of childhood
days.
A dark room, cold air, warm night
clothing, warm feet, comfortably filled
stomach, a good spring and mattress,
and, above all, a clear conscience, will
permit relaxation and refreshing
sleep.

BIRDS NOT PROPERLY NAMED
Many Have Misleading Applications
@Meadow Lark" One Of the Clear
est illustrations.

many Of our birds are often called,
even In books, by names which are
misleading. The average young bird
student really knows more about birds
than the folks who gave some of our
birds their names. While these birds
We're as yet without English names
Harry would naturally Stick" espe-
ciaily if the names were reminders Of
the birds the early settlers had known
across the sea. But the "misfitting"
names are by no means all due to this
cause, as we shall see.
Meadow lark" is an example of one
kind of misnaming. The real American
representatives Of the European larks
are oVr horned larks. These are much
smaller, more quiet and less snowy
birds than the big starlings; hence
they failed to attract attention. But
these starlings of the open meadows,
with their habit of singing on the
wing, sometimes as they circled to
alight, suggested to the people, how
ever remotely, their beloved larks; so
they were called meadow larks.
Robin" as applied TO our ruddy-
breasted thrush, is another example,
but a less serious one. Even to this
day one occasionally hears our bird
called "redbreast," as was done by the
early colonists on account Of the rud-
dy coloring which it had in common
with the English warbler, which they
had known so we'll as ''robin-red-
breast."-Ft. Nicholas.

MODERN PROGRESS A SHAM7
Writer In the Atlantic DisincIined 30
Believe That the Human Race
10 Advancing Rapidly.

After all, are frenzied motion and
progress synonymous? Any kitten
chasing its own tail might. II we were
really observant, disprove for US much
of our modern claim of great gain.
Would any age of real progress talk
20 much about progress. and so loudly
count its achievements? Is not much
Of this done to hide the inner sense of
loss and lack? Perhaps 1t Is from a
far-off country childhood that I derive
q persistent belief, not obscured by all
the noise and dust and glamour Of our
time, that real growth Is silent. For
many and many a day / have heard
this glowing talk Of progress, of widen
ing intellectual horizons, and for many
q day have watched the growing visit
fulness Of human faces. The more
thoughtful become increasingly sad,
while the number of the merely stolid
increases apace, as do the restless
ones, with their apparent longing for
distraction and change. Unfinished
faces, unsatisfied faces, are familiar to
us all. They lack the high record Of
experience greatly taken; expression
that denotes profound inner life. To-
day we are so comfortable, so enlight-
ened, and. with our widening philan-
thropy, SO estimable, that we surely
ought to be happy! Yet we see few
satisfied faces, such as we can remem-
Der from long ago, full Of inner con-
tent, faces con which the dove Of peace
sat trooding," and we pause to ask
what our boasted progress has to offer
in compensation for the great loss that
has come through the seeming gain of
these later years From the Atlantic.

DON'T BOTTLE THE "WHYS"
Excellent Reasons Why Child Should
Even Be Encouraged to Ask Cues
tions of All Sorts.

One father who has had some sue
cess in training his children to think
and act for themselves we'll and WISE
ly, declares that the secret lies in an
swering all their questions fully, frank
ly, and alphabetically, says the
Youths Companion. He tells the
child everything he knows on each
question that is asked, and if his
knowledge is not adequate, spares no
pains to make it so. The method is
not always convenient for the teach
er, but it results in a surprisingly
pill, an ever growing desire for more,
q habit of going straight to his father
for enlightenment and a sense of re-
sponsibility for his own conduct.
Aside from the inconvenience, the
reason why parents so comomnly OBJ
ject to this way of dealing with the
questioning habit is the fear that the
child will never permit them to make
any exceptions, but experience has
proved that the fear is groundless. In
stead of making himself disagreeable,
the child usually acquiesces. He is
willing for once to remain ignorant;
for having learned that his father
and mother are sympathetic and rea-
sonable, he concludes that in this case
1t is not possible for them to explain,
and so is content to obey without
knowing why.

MAKING OF IMITATION GEMS
Business Lends Itself to Fraud When
the Dealer Is Not Over
Scrupulous.

The first artificial rubies were made
by fusing the dust of small and In
ferior rubies, and the products were
called reconstructed rubies. They
brought from $50 to $50 q carat, and
were soon driven from the market
by the cheaper synthetic or scientific
rubies. These are made by mixing
and fusing certain chemicals which
are not costly. and the imitation gems
are sold by legitimate dealers for q
small part of the price of the old.
reconstructed rubles. One fraud is
In selling the synthetic rubies at high
prices, calling them reconstructed,
and representing them as made up of
real, natural rubies.
Another fraud is In selling artificial
white sapphires as synthetic dia-
monds. The jewellers say that no syn
thetic diamonds have ever been made
for the market Diamond dust has
been made at enormous cost in ex-
periments, but no diamonds suitable
for ornaments have ever been made
artificially The diamond dust made
by French chemist would cost vast
ly more than similar dust from the
diamond mines of South Africa.
The dishonest dealer can get a
much higher price for the synthetic
sapphire II he can persuade his GUS
toner that it is a diamond Blue Is
the desirable solor for sapphire, and
therefore artificial white sapphires
are not of much account when sold
simply for what they are.
