change, and the game will go on rec
ord as a tie. Chappell scored Ash
lands only field goal and Moore
threw five out of eleven fouls, Stew
art and Bacon each scored a field
goal for the visitors and the former
threw three fouls out of eleven
chances. Both teams missed several
easy shots The passing of the home
team was superior, but the big Med
ford guards kept Ashland's little for
wards too well covered to allow of
many good chances at scoring.
Between halves of the second game
about thirty of the high school girls,
attired in red and white. marched on
the floor, sang school songs and
formed an A. H. S. The drill was
well conceived and carried out and
made hit with the crowd. The root
ing at times during the game was
terrific. The crowd was the largest
ever crammed into the high school
gymnasium, being estimated at over
seven hundred.
Seat sale for next Saturdays game
is opened today, and from the way
reservations are pouring in the at
tendance will exceed last Saturdays.
Medford fans are positive that their
team can win Friday at Medford,
and it looks like an even break to
anyone. The Medford team is a hun
dred per cent better than it was two
weeks ago and should improve much
this week, while there is the danger
of overconfidence which may cause
the downfall of the locals.

Saturday.
Ashland's "cigar box hall" as the
Medford sport scribes delight to call
it, proved to be far too large for the
Medford team Saturday night and
the Ashland boys scored six fled bas-
kets and two fouls for a total of IA
points while holding the visitors to
three field goals and two fouls for
total of s. The Medfordites sim
ply were unable to break through
the Ashland defense and shot from
ridiculously long distances, most of
their shots falling far short of the
basket. Ashland played a sluggish
game, but Grisez seemed to have re-
gained his basket eye and converted
three beautiful shots. Fraley scored
a field basket and Plymate two bas-
kets, while Fraley converted both of
his free throws.
Ashland scored six points in the
first two minutes and then appeared
to consider the lead safe and settled
down to a defensive game. The Med
ford players were unable to work the
ball past the center of the floor ex-
cept on rare occasions. Klum start

of five free throws.

Beginning insurance Early.

Consul Kelley reports from Rome
that in many Of the elementary schools
Of Rome and Of some other cities in
Italy a system of mutual benefit insur-
ance has been established among the
pupils. The pupils pay small weekly
contributions to the general fund and
in return receive certain payments in
case Of sickness, accident or death,
and at the same time lay the founda'
ton for old-age benefits.
While the plan is still in it's infancy,
SO far as Rome is concerned, it has
been adopted in many Of the public
schools Of the city. and this system
Of insurance appears to be growing
rapidly. Pupils are encouraged to con.
tinue the insurance until they may
join an adult society.

MENACE OF THE UNFIT.
DIRE EVIL OF WAR POINTED OUT
BY SCIENTIST.
Best Blood Of the Countries Involved
is Poured out on the Battle Fields
and Future Generations WIN
Be the Sufferers.

The racial damage which has been
done to the people of Europe by the
killing and manning of the higher type
of manhood was discussed recently
by Mai. Leonard Darwin, a son of
Charles Darwin, the naturalist, at q
meeting of the Royal Statistical so
ciety in London. observes the New
York Sun.
In the course Of his paper on THE
Statistical Inquiries Needed After the
War in Connection With Eugenics,"
Major Darwin stated that the British
casualties might be about 61a per cent
of all the fighting men available.
Major Darwin stated that unques.
tionabIy the war was killing of the
better types Of men: He pointed out
that the active causes Of the racial
damage would not cease with the war,
because the birth rates Of the higher
types would continue to be adversely
affected. Only those born in the last
eighteen years would be entirely I'M
damaged by the war, he said, and 1t
would be increasingly necessary agr-
ing the next twenty years to enpha-
size the fact that in cases where both
parents are fairly healthy it is unpa-
triotic and immoral to limit the size
of the family, except in view OF bring
ing the children up in comfort.
He stated that the racial damage
would be at it's worst when peace was
declared. The checking of the multi
plication of the unfit would never be
more needed than then, he added.
Prof. Arthur Keith, conservatcr OF
the museum and Hunterian professor
OF the Royal College Of Surgeons,
when interviewed on the subject at
the Royal College of Surgeons by a
representative of the Pail Mall Ga
zette, said he was not aware of the
existence of any statistics which went
to show that the stature Of the French
nation diminished after the Napoleon
ic wars
s'The question is: Are we losing
our best men? There is no doubt we
are losing our bravest men. The men
of the highest physical courage, of the
highest patriotism, have volunteered,
but have these men left children be-
hind? If they have. and, of course,
we know they have, then the nation
cannot be affected as a whole.
1T should be remembered that our
males up to the age of eighteen re-
main untouched and that part Of the
population cannot be injured.
There is another point to consider.
The men who are most eminently Mt
ted for our modern civilization--for
our industrial civilization-are not the
bravest men of the nation at all. The
extremely brave man is of no use in in
dustrial life. It is nonsense to talk
about war being the cause of the catas-
trophe of eliminating the best men.
Warfare goes on in the industrial
world, but the warfare of the indus
trial world is waged by competition,
not bravery. In the one case It is
physical courage, bravery, that counts;
in the other versatility and brains"

Catches Wary Fog by TaII.

Roswell Wheeler, fifteen years old.
of Richmond, caught by the tail fox
that for five years had eluded traps
and bullets.
This old-timer had raided hen roosts
summer and winter, and several farm
ers had offered rewards for his cap
ture.
Awakened by the growing of his
roosters early in the morning, young
Wheeler arose before sunrise. and
with his dog Scotty discovered Rey-
nard leaving the hennery. Wheeler
also is a strategist, so Scotty was sent
to pursue the fox while he hid behind
a huge pine tree near by. AS he ex-
pected, Reynard followed a furrow
leading to the pine, and when the fox
unsuspectingly ran by Wheeler
grabbed him by the tail and held on.
A swing against the tree finished him.
The fox is believed to have been ten
years old.-Lenox (Mass.) Dispatch to
