They will open that bulge above
his right eye, and by removing the
pressure Of water from the optic
nerve they will restore his sight; pres
sure will also be removed from the
nerves OF speech and Harold will no
longer speak with a "trip" on his
tongue.
Speaking in the language of doc
tors Harold Davis has Internal Hydro
ce3hlus; which means that there is
an accumulation OF water on the ven
tricals Of the brain. This accumula-
tion pressing on the optic nerve
causes Illumination and paralysis
of that nerve which in turn causes
blindness; it is this same pressure on
the nerves Of speech that makes Har-
old stammer when lie talks.
If 1t were not for this lump Harold
would probably not have lived to
celebrate the New Year that is to
bring him a new head" This bump
is his safety valve.
The accumulation on the brain is
SO great that it needs an outlet and
SO It surges out and makes this bulg-
ing lump and gives Harold's b.ain a
chance to pulsate.

1Hardly Worth while stalking.

Deer hunting in Panama is not pop
u1ar, for the animals are small and
the meat insipid, and the dense Jungle
makes hunting by stalking or hounds
impossible. The law forbids traps and
salt ticks. Only the method OF wait
ing alongside some runway remains,
and swarms Of mosquitoes, gnats and
other insects make it exceedingly
painful. The buck is about three feet
high at maturity and tho doe so inches.
The close.woyen Jungle afforded a
home that was entirely secure from
hunters until the Americans came to
Panama, and even now the number OF
deer taken is small compared with the
many that inhabit the hills and val
.leys along Gatun lake and near the
canal.

times we must ride for miles against

Lynchburg, Va, March 3.--Some diff
hculty in reaching an agreement over
the officials for the championship game
Saturday night between the Norfolk
Blues and Cardinal Athletic Club was
experienced early this week on account
of the attitude OF the Norfolk quint
concerning the experts suggested by
the Red Birds. Several kilograms
were exchanged Monday and Tuesday
by the managers of the rival teams In
an effort to come to an understanding
and resulted finally in the selection of
Professor Marshall, of the Roanoke
High school faculty, to handle the ref
eree's Job.
The Cardinals last week, when tho
Blues agreed to play in LynchburE

and Lee and the University of Virginia

slider the college men for the game and
insisted on securing either Hargroye,

the latter having officiated in many Of
their games this season.
The Norfolk aggregation declared
that they would not be willing to pay
any part of the expense in providing
a referee for the big battle. Har-
grove could not be secured for the
reason that he has already been en-
gagged for game In Richmond this
week. and in notifying Norfolk of this
situation, Manager Woodbridge tele-
graphed the Blues that he could Sc

floor by the McGul Catholic Union

Elon College. y. c., March 3.--The
basketball season officially closed
here on Tuesday night. when Wake
Forest defeated the local aggregation
for the first time in many years on
the local floor. The Elon quint this
year played every college in the
State, lost twice to Carolina and to
Wake Forest, broke even with Trim
ity and Davidson, lost the only game
with Agricultural and Mechanical on
the Raleigh floor and captured both
games from Guilford. This was not
as brilliant a record as the CUNTS Of
the two former years have been maxi
ing for Elon. The season as a whole,
however has been pronounced a sue
cess, because II Is not expected that
any quint will be able 10 capture
State championship successfully for
more than two years The Elon quint
won four games and lost seven. or
percentage of 1858. There were no
stars on the team this year. 1t has
been the purpose here since the first
basketball team was organized several
years ago not to develop stars. but
