But Extra Period Was Nee
essary to Enable Spauld-
ing High to Win
SCORE 81 TO 20
IN FAST GAME
Visitors Showed Themselves
to Be Good Sportsmen
Even in Defeat

The new gymnasium in the Spaulding
annex was given royal christening last
night when the spaulding basketball
team won a closely fought game with
Hardwick academy by score Of 81 to
20. Extra time was necessary to deter
mine the winner, the score standing 20
to rs at the end Of the designated time.
The seating capacity of the gymnasium
was taxed to the limit in spite of the
fact that probably few of the people in
the crowd expected Spaulding to win
after their defeat of Wednesday night.
Organized cheering led by Cheer Leader
Victor Ossola did much To spur on the
team to a well.earned victory. Hard
wick played fast game throughout and
won the respect of the crowd for the
sportsmanlike manner in which they &C.
cepted their defeat. Carroll OF Spauld-
ing and Lewis of Hardwick played well
for their respective teams.
Hardwck secured the first score short
ly after the sounding of the whistle and
from then on il was anybody's game
until the end. Neither team secured
lead of over five points at any time in
the game. Lewie secured eight fouls out
of IL chances in the first period. Two
baskets from the floor by Hardwiek and
two fouls, together with four successful
shots from the floor on the Spaulding
side, left the score at the end of the
first period IL to 10 in favor of the
visitors.
Both teams came on the floor for the |
second period with the determination to
win showing in every action. The game,
If possible, was even faster than in the
first period. Spaulding soon tied up the
score and held the visitors down in spite
of the numerous fouls called on them for
running with the ball. Lewis of the
Hardwick team secured FIVE free shots in
this period making him total of 10
points from the foul line during the
game. Densmore was substituted for
Mann in the latter part Of the game.
With the score a tie at the blowing of
the timers whistle the referee continued
the game for five minutes, during which
time Spaulding secured three baskets
from the floor and two fouls, making the
final score 81 to 20 in favor of the home
team.

SENSE IN "MovIs" cENsOR SHIP

The motion picture producers are
to be congratulated on their substi-
tute for the Hughes Federal CEN
sorship bill, before the House Com
mittee on Education. The measure
they propose incorporates the fea-
lures of just censorship and more
than meets the desires of people
who believe there should be super
vision of picture plays. The max
ers of pictures who propose the
new measure have done more than
the reformers who insist on cradi-
cation of scenes and plays that do
not meet their personal approval.
They have done more for the rea-
son that they have more at stake.
The cutting and trimming Of pic
ture plays, or the suppression of
productions, to conform to the moral
views of people who would become
the jailers rather than the guides
of their brothers consciences, means
a positive financial loss to the film
magnates. 1t is easy for a person
who has no financial interest at
stake to suppress this or that scene
or story or painting; it is another
thing for the man who has spent
thought and time and money to see
the fruits destroyed in so offhand
fashion.
1t should be remembered that the
man with the big idea is very often
entirely honest in his effort to pre-
sent it in the most forciful or the
most beautiful manner possible ac-
cording to his estimate of what is
thoughtful and beautiful. On the
other hand, there are people who
view any artistic production with
prurient eye, and yet others who are
disposed to pander TO that prurient
taste. Both these classes are en-
titled to vigorous attention; and the
moving picture people, in their sub
stitute measure, recognize this con-
dition.

emily declares it an axiom that after
the war we cannot be flooded with
foreign products because labor will
be scarce in Europe and taxes high.
How's that? Twenty million able
bodied men who ought to be eco
nomic creators are now armed de-
stroyers. The products of many
more than twenty million not under
arms are merely turned over to those
under arms for destruction. Thus
there are twenty million not only not
themselves producing but wiping out
the production of more than twenty
million others as it is sent to them
on the battlefields to be blown out of
existence.
Taxes in Europe are certainly high
now to carry on the war, higher than
hey ever will be after the war. But

Officials Believe Pouches From

LANSING ASKS EARLY ACTION
English Practice of Censoring
American Mails Is Opposed
in Vigorous Note.

Secretary OF state Lansing said today
that the United states Government will
wait q reasonable time for the prom
ised reply from Great Britain TO the
American protest on mail seizures be-
fore proceeding further.
Meanwhile, officials believe that the
pouches of Americas diplomatic repre-
sentatives will be exempted from moles-
tation. The strongest language in the
American protest, the text of which
was given out last night, was directed
against this practice.
The American note specifically men
tions the removal of 734 bags of parcel
post mail from the steamer United
States and 597 bags of parcel mali on
the steamer Frederick, destined to Scan
dnavian ports, together with SO bags OF

with taxes so high as they are and
with labor so diverted TO war as it is,
the volume of our imports from bel
ligerents as from others swells and
swells. For the week ended Jan
uary % they reached, at the thirteen
principal customs districts of the
United States, the prodigious total
of $42, 1882.
Now, when all those under arms
and all those now producing merely
to supply those under arms get back
to the fields of industry, producing
not for sheer destruction but for
economic use, how can it be that
there will be labor shortage?
On the contrary, with this sudden
return of millions from the fields Of
battle to the fields of labor and the
equally sudden translation of millions
from producing war supplies to pro-
ducing, or wanting to produce, peace
supplies, how shall there not be more
men than jobs, more groups of men
than industries, very glut of labor?
When there are all these tens of
millions of men seeking labor in the
fields of peace-not only the occupa-
tion of the soldier gone, but the
occupation of the man who supplied
the soldier gone as well-how> shall
it fail to be that these men, to keep
body and soul together, will work for
anything they can get?
How shall it fail to be that their
cheap-labor products coming over
whelmingly into the markets where
they will sell to the best advantage
our markets-shall drive out our
own dear-labor products and send
our own wage-earners off the pay

THE VISITING NURSES WORK

In nearly every large industrial
community there is now some sys-
tenn of industrial nurses. The Fed
eral Government, the largest en-
ployer in the Capital, has no such
provision for the health of its en-
ployes. 1t has remained for pri-
vate enterprises to supply this need.
Hitherto the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Society, in this city, has been
regarded as an instrument for the
use of the very poor only. For the
last six months this society has
been trying to dispel this idea. 1t
has carried into churches, before
citizens associations, and to clubs
its message of a desire to extend
it's services to those Independent
families of slender means who can
not afford to have a resident nurse.
Many of those who can afford such
nurse have no place to room her,
and do not need her continuous
services.
In New York, in Boston, in
Pittsburgh, and in other cities, the
visiting nurse is called upon by per-
sons in all walks of life. There is
no stigma of poverty attached to
her visits. She fulfllls need of
about 80 per cent of city's popu-
lation. 1t has often been said that
the very rich and the very poor are
assured of competent medical atten-
ton, and that it is the great middle
class that suffers. 1t is this class
the Instructive Visiting Nurse So
ciety of this city is now trying to
reach.
This society comes before the
public with no plea for funds. 1t
asks no aid; it simply desires to
serve. At it's annual meeting, next
Thursday lat Rauscher's, it will out
line this new policy and invites the
public to hear its plans.
Continuing its present service to
the poor, and widening its scope to
those who can afford to pay a little,
but not much; the society should be-
come as important a factor in con-
serving the health of this city as
have such agencies as the diet
kitchens and clinics.
