GIRLS BEAT LITTLETON
One of the CIevereSt Games of the
Season Pulled Off Saturday
Evening

The basket ball game between the
girls of Littleton High school and ST.
Johnsbury academy in Y. NJ G. A.
hall Saturday night resulted in a vic
tory for the locals by the score of 6
| to f. 1t was one of the clevereSt
games of the season and made fitting
close of the basket ball season in St.
Johnsbury. Both teams were we'll
trained and some speedy floor work
was the result. In fact their passing
and defensive work outrivalled the
playing of the boys team. The small
score was not so much the result of
poor shooting as it was the outcome of
clever guarding by both teams Miss
Page was in the lime-light throughout
the entire performance and was cas-
lily the star of the visiting quintet The
first period ended with Littleton lead
ing to O. Miss Page having scored a
goal from the floor and one from a
foul. When the teams showed up for
the second half, st. Johnsbury acad-
envy stock was way below par but
Miss Adams and Miss Cary connected
with a result that four points were
marked on the st. Johnsbury side of
the sheet Miss Page shot another
free goal and the regular time limit
ended with a score of four ALL Nor
were the ten players able to change
this standing during an extra five min
utes so they were forced to take on
another extra session of five minutes
and then Miss Cary came to the front
again with a sensational shot which
landed the locals in the lead by two
points. Summary:

which in the end Colgate managed
to wrest from Fair Harvard.

BEATEN 81 TO Ia
Academy Made Very Poor Show.
ing Against BurIingtOn--Girls
Played Game Without Score.

The most that can be said about the
showing of St. J. A. against Burlington
High Thursday night is that their
work was very disappointing. The Wis
itors had things their own way from
the start and had the locals guessing
where the next blow was coming from.
The score of 54 to IA tells the whole
story. but personal mention should be
made of at least three of the visiting
team. III. Rupert. Blodgett and Nc
Cuen formed the best offensive trio to
be seen on the local floor this season.
They were fast and true shots and with
the assistance Of the two sturdy backs
they simply raced away from st. J. A.
The locals leave Friday for Bur-
lington for a return game that night
and on their return, via White River
Junction, they will stop over long
enough to try out Hartford High
school Saturday evening. Summary:

1t is violating no confidence to say
that the girls game Thursday night
was as closely contested as was that of
their brother students loosely played.
Two ten minute periods were played
without producing a score, and an
extra five minutes had to be run off.
In this additional session Miss Nc

foul and made good, thereby landing

THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY TEETH

The mouth is regarded by some as the
most beautiful and significant feature we
possess: certainly II is the most human,
for nowhere in the animal world can We
hnd anything comparable to 1t. Most
essential to its formation is a properly
developed bony' framework-an upper and
a lower java fitting foundation for the
superstructure-the teeth, healthy gums
and exquisitely curved lips. The perfectly
nodded oval of the female human face is
the highest development OF form in ma
ture. The chin. for instance. is a COM
paratively recent feature in evolution.
No animal has a chin proper, and saw
ages, idiots. and the like possess 1t only
in rudiment. Infants exhibit very little
indication of a chin. and where the teeth
are uncared for and the jaws not exer-
cised sufficiently TO induce growth an in
fantile development Of the chin and
mouth Is often seen. In old age, too.
when the teeth are lost and bony absorp-
ton takes place, this backward step to
the infantile is often noticed.
Emerson observed. What power and
limitations the teeth betray?" 1t seems
strange that the enormous importance of
good-Iooking, healthy teeth is not more
generally appreciated. This is so obvious
from every possible viewpoint-aestheti-
cally, for what can be more beautiful
than the human smile revealing a set OF
perfect teeth? Physically. as the entire
growth of the body is dependent upon
mastication, which is never fully per-
formed II the teeth are not in good condi-
ton. Hygienically, since the health of
the mouth and teeth betrays the status,
as It were, of the individual. Cosmeti-
cally, because the beauty Of the face lies
in the tout ensemble. and not in the eyes,
or the complexion. or any one part alone.
While we cannot elect what shaped
face we prefer. we can contribute largely

DON'T Toady to Your Sons Appetite.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL

How often one hears a mother say:
MY son doesn't eat many KINDS OF
vegetable" or MY son can't drink milk
or "Beefsteak is about the only kind OF
meat Bobby likes lt.-
You don't often hear a mother say that
her daughters appetite leeds special ca
tering to.
The truth of the matter probably Is
that we cater to our sons appetites far
more than we do to our daughters.
III little Jane won't eat crusts, she
is usually ignored until she forgets her
dislike; II she won't eat roast lamb, but
Graves beefsteak, she is given an extra
helping OF potato-and she learns to like
roast lamb. But II Billy doesn't like
the crust Of bread, the crust is care
fully removed for him; and IL he demands
beefsteak, he usually gets 1t, even II his
mother has to forego a new hat to pay
the beefsteak bin
I Yes, mothers indulge their small sons
more readily than they do their small
daughters. Fathers. be 1t admitted, show
a tendency to indulge the daughters, but
fathers seldom have much to say about
the food their fcmilies shall eat. So
the small daughter learns to eat what
Is set before her
1t is really a blessing to have an ap-
petite that finds all wholesome food
anu the HlOlntl WHO "OulO
make her children happest is the mother
who does not cater to their whIms of
appetite. or course, If they express a
decided aversion to some sort Of food,
II need not be insisted upon as a regu-
lar part of the diet. But they should
be taught to eat all wholesome food.
They should not be encouraged to crit
lcism of their meals. II their appetite
fails. they should be taken to the family
doctor. His tonic or recommended tons
OF change of habits of sleeping and ex-
ercise will be far more likely to improve
their appetite than will be a flood of
dainties
There was once a young man who
ate nothing, I'm the way of meat, but
ham. He was almost. a freak because
of this absurd liking for ham. He was
rich enough to indulge almost any taste,
so he never found trouble in getting a
good supply of good ham when he want
ed 1t. But his taste was no less absurd
And it can hardly be thought that ham
is healthful as the staple of anybody
diet
This man, when he was a boy. was
very wilful. He liked ham. He demand
ed ham three times a day. probably to
see what would happen if he made such
demand. and his fond mother gave him
ham three times a day
