Friday night the Senior Class had
charge OF the S. G. H. S. Literary.
They put on two plays: "And the
Lamp went out" and THE Revolt" We
naturally expected the class to be a
credit to itself and to the institution
but they far exceeded our expecta-
tions. All who saw the work of these
students commented very favorably
upon the excellent manner OF pro-
duction of the two plays. Miss Els
mann's extra efforts with the casts
seem amply repaid both audience and
school appreciated the splendid assis-
tancc rendered by the town orchestra.
The boys basket ball team met the
Ogal!ala basketers on our home floor
on Friday night. A more experienced
end the game with the short end of the
score which was 20 to IL.
An innovation in this school Is being
tried a. moons. For the first time Mon
day the Gymnasium was opened to
the boys during the noon hour. The
lads were enthusiastic about the idea
and showed their approval and heartily
cooperation by entering into the
games of indoor base ball as if they
had played it most of their lives bat
they hadn't We. believe the scheme
will work successfully and especially
now at time OF the year when the
cold weather is noticeable. Later III
the year, volley ball and other plays
and games are planned for the recrca.
ton period at the noon hour.
Saturday night the girls basket ball
team from Oga!la!a met and defeated
our girls team in our Gym. For our
girls, we can say we are pleased with
the prospects OF a better team later
in the season as none had ever played
in scheduled game. For the Ogallala
team we must say that they have had
experience and training not only this
season but also during the past three
or four years and this they used to
advantage as the score which was

EXPERIMENTS BARRED
BY WAR IN FRANCE
Aero Club Votes 10 Invite Him
and Support Exploiting
Aero Science.
BY GORDON BRUCE.

Santos Dumont, who startled the
world with his first fights in dirt
gible balloon, and who made the first
public fight in an aeroplane, will take
up his residence in this country with
in a short time. While he will make
New York his headquarters, Mr.. Santos
Dumont will devote much Of his time
to the establishment Of aeroplane land.
ing places and air routes in Central
America and South America.
The work will be carried out in con-
nection with the recently announced
propaganda of the Aero Club Of Amer
lea, which has as its object the popu-
lsrization of aeronautics in the West
ern Hemisphere. In his work in the
South Mr.. Santos-Dumont will have the
active cooperation OF President Manuel
Cabrera Of Guatemala.
President Cabrera has taken a keen
interest in Aging and has led move
ment for establishing aerial trans
nortation in South America. The poor
railroad facilities in that country have
aroused some Of the leading men TO
the possibilities Of the aeroplane as
passenger and mail carrier. DR.. Ra-
mon Bengoechea, the Guatemalan Con,
sui General in New York, has joined
the Aero Club, in order to keep in
close touch with the new branch of its
activities.
Since the outbreak of the war San
tos-Dumont has been unable to carry
on the experiments in aviation 70
which he has devoted the last fifteen
wears of his life. The French gov
crnment issued orders that no hyinf
experiments were to be carried on ex
cent under military control.

perial organization in existence, al
though due, will not be held. This
quadrennisl conference Of premiers,
where each dominion appears on an
equal basis. has had some value in
unifying empire policy and in promot-
ing harmony. Many believe il capable
OF development.
While there has been no official an
nouncement, Il IL understood the con-
ference cannot be held. The Premlcrs
are too busy with their own affairs.
Matters have 20 be attended 20 con
tinuously that cannot be delegated 20
other5. Il would have been Sir Rob
crt Borden's first appearance at the
imperial conference.
While the party organizations are
,pasmodically attempting 10 keep pol
tics alive. with the evident object OF
holding their supporters under the
narcotic OF war from sinking into a
state o. political coma, there is every
indication that tho session OF Parlia-
ment which opened on Thursday will
be the mos. colorless in many decades.
The opening was more festureless than
usual. with the solitary exception that
the address in reply 10 the speech from
the throne was moved by W. c. Woichel,
Gcrman-Canadisn, thereby demon
strating national unity. There is no
sign o. any controversy on the horl-
zon. The governments programme, II
is understood, includes only war legis-
lation, and farreaching as some of the
proposals may be. they are unlikely 20
be made matters OF contention. II -
under7tood that the Cabinet has taken
the leader Of the opposition into its
confidence and forestalled argument
before making nublic announcement.
Opposition criticism of details there
nav be. The government has spent
s50000.OO0 on the war already, and
particulars will be sought. Also in
formation as to what will be done with
the 500 100000 20 be asked for at this
session.
II is expected that the Finance Min.
ister's statement will show a deficit Of
$50 600, coo. Proposals to make this up
and prevent future deficits either by
increased customs duties. stamp taxes
or income taxes. all OF which are sug-
gested. will be scrutinized.
If the war has given birth TO fresh
prejudices, it fortunately has also
swept some old ones away. Any one
would have been ridiculed who would
have toretold a year ago that Sir Rich.
ard Mcbride. the doughty Premier Of
British Columbia and Japanese batter,
would have publicly from his place in
the Legislature paid graceful tribute
to Japan for having assisted in the
protection Of the British Columbian
coast from German raiders. Yet that
thing has come to pass, and marks the
removal of most of the anti-Japanese
prejudice OF past years. There is still
reserve in praise for the Oriental race,
but that Japan is playing the game"
"a freely admitted.
