TELLS Basket BALL PLAYERS
THAT CIGARETTES AND ATH-
LETIcs DO NOT GO HAND IN
HAND.

H. Clay Marks, the supervising prin-
cipal of the Daytona public schools,
made it plain in a talk to the basket
ball players last night that he is a
bitter enemy OF cigarette smoking
among students. While principal of
the DeLand schools, Professor Marks
had five boys brought before County
Solicitor Hamlin and enough sworn
testimony was produced to convict
some Of the leading merchants OF
that city of furnishing cigarettes and
cigarette materials to minors, had the
matter been pushed.
Last night Professor Marks deliv-
cred a talk touching in general upon
the evils of cigarette smoking and
he stated to the basket ball players
that cigarette smoking and athletics
could not join hands. He told them
that in the future he would not toler-
ate cigarette smoking either on or off
the school premises and allow them to
be retained on any athletic team con-
nected with the Daytona public
schools.
He quoted to them the substance of
the state law on the subject and ad-
monished them of the danger from
pipes, cigarettes and matches, and
cited the severe but nevertheless
practical lesson shown by the fire I'M

Professor Marks stated that if an

Earliest English Surname.

History shows that surnames did
not come into general and heredi-
tary use in England until after the
Norman conquest. when the upper
classes were first known by the names
Of their lands. The lower orders took
the names of trades, birds, animals
and various other objects in art and
nature. We are told that the earliest
English surname is Hattie"

form more than month ago.
J According to the testimony of the
members Of the basket ball squad,
only two boys make a practice of
smoking, and only one, of these two,
smokes cigarettes. He stated that the
boys who smoked in the basement ana
probably started the blaze Wednes-
day night, will not be suspended I'M
less the offense is repeated. The
boys promised not to smoke again on
the school premises and even went so
far as to say that they are going to
use all their power to stop the smok-
ing habit entirely.
The boys were advised that the Incl
dent of Wednesday night did the bas-
ket ball team more harm than a whole
string of defeats.
