HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Today marked the beginning Of the
second semester, the last half of the
school wear. AS a favorable time to
start in High School is offered, some
20 new pupils appeared this morning.
Many came from the grammar grades,
while a few entered from other high
schools.
hTe boys basketball team was de-
feated and the girls won, last Satur-
day, when Central played Imperial on
the Imperial courts. The scores were
1920 for the boys and 40-S for the
girls.
The girls showed up as we'll as
usual, taking an easy game, but the
boys forfeited their last chance to
win the championship, having been
defeated by both Holtville and Impe-
rial. One more victory and the girls
will be entitled to blue &C." signify
ing a championship team. Central has
no game for next Saturday, but will
play Brawley, February IL, at Braw-
ley.
The Senior class is preparing to
give a party in honor of the Juniors at
the Davis hall next Saturday evening.
In order to accommodate the larg
number expected to attend, it was
necessary to provide larger place
than a private home afforded. A
meeting of the Seniors was called this
morning to lay an assessment on the
members of the class. A tax Of SC
cents a piece was considered enough
to cover expenses.

London, Jan. 31.-How would yol
like to be the prettiest royal nader
in Europe, and only q, with delight
full palaces nesting among the noun
tains of one of the most beautiful
countries in all the world and pro-
tected from the horrors of war by the
solemn promises of your bigger neigh
bors never to violate your territory!
You would not be sad, would you?
But wait.
Listen to the other side of the story
the side that makes poor little Grand
Duchess Marie Adelaide of Luxem-
burg the unhappiest girl in all the
world.
Suppose, when you least expected it,
great hordes of grey-clad warriors,
armed to the teeth, burst in upon your
peaceful land, swept you and your
tiny army aside as # you had been
a mere peasant woman, trambled your
royal garden under foot and reduced
your people to the verge of starva-
tion.
You would hate these men, no mat
ter how many times they told you it
was all a "disagreeable necessity Of
war"
d But would it not crush you en-
tirely to learn that you had to be-
come the wife Of one of the very
princes who led the armies that had
caused all your trouble?
Such is the plight of beautiful
young Marie Adelaide. Although she
was publicly voiced her hatred OF her
she apparently must mar
ry cne of their princelings. There
does not seem to be an eligible candi-
date outside of Germany and Austria.
Marie Adelaide doesn't want to get
married at ALL But that doesn't make
any difference; she's a grand duch-
ess, and very important, and she's got
to set married.
Court officials of Luxembourg have
about settled on an Austrian prince
for the grand duchess.
The neutral princelings are all too
they're Protestants. And
in 1907 a law was passed which for
bade any grand duchess expecting to
reign over Luxenburg to marry a
Protestant. Naturally she cannot ac-
