Last nights games I'm the American
Basketball League made Il number OF inn

neither of the scores was particularly close.

team by tho score of 80 to % the latter
dropped from second to third place, while
st. Columbia one OF the clubs that was not
scheduled, automatically went next 10 the
leading Hancock i've. The other game. that
between Flftlcth and Girnrd resulted In n
victory for Manager RoscnbauEh's team
by the count of 2S to 10. That victory
sent Fiftieth up 20 the 800 mark, while
the defeated Girard Ave slipped gently to
the bottom OF the league.
In the Simpson Xavier game Donaghy,
the formers speedy forward. played re-
markable game. He not only followed
the ball in great style, but shot six goals
from the field, tho largest number made
by any player during the evenings athletic
entertainment. Aide, Donaghys running

shot three field goals, had several assists
and was all over the floor throughout the
forty minutes OF play Livingstone. OF the

credit, against seven for Aide. his opponent.
Ehlers. who played guard for tho Glrard
team, played magnificent game against

Football Ethics

Ono detail that will help football mar.
than trihe IL an improvement in the zen
eral ethics of the game.
For illustration, ifevery man ia taurht-
not how to hold and get away with it--hul
not 90 hold an opponent under any condl.
tion, the game would be bolstered IN several
ways. Proof of this can be found IN ~
enormous number Of penalties inflicted
through the last season and the yaluahle
amount OF ground lost by breaking coma
rule.
When fulfilling the letter and the spgrt
OF the rule is as much part OF nstructios
as tackllng and punting, these constant
penalties will be ended and the game, N
addition. will be upon q much higher baus
than 1t Ia today.

HAS MASONIC APRON
PRESENTED BY LAFAYETTE

ATLANTA, Ga, April 10.-A Masonic
apron, which was presented to his
great-great uncle, Colonel Robert Free
nan, by the Marquis de Lafayette,
French nobleman and general on the
staff of George Washington, is the
proud possession of George P Free
man, charter member of Palestine
Lodge, of Atlanta.
The apron, which contains all the
e1nblems of the Master Mason, was pre-
scented by General Lafayette when a
guest of Colonel Freeman, in Raleigh,
n c., in 1924.
The apron, which is of silk fabric
was made in 1915, before the invention
Of spool thread, and is in a remarka-
tie state of preservation.
The Lafayette society of Chicago has
made unsuccessful efforts for several
years to secure The relic, at one time
having it sent to them for inspection
under $4,000 insurance policy against
loss. Mr. Freeman prizes the heirloom
very highly.

STATE TEACHERS IN
MACON THIS WEEK

The teachers of Georgia will have
great meeting in Macon beginning
Thursday night Portions of the pro
gram were given in these columns last
week. A large delegation of our city
and rural teachers will go to this meet
ing.
The railroads have granted an I'M
usually low round trip excursion rate,
and tickets are on sale at every cou-
pom office.
The hotels of Macon offer rates that
are little more than half the regular
rates, so that the expense of the trip,
considering Macons central location,
will be reduced to a minimum.
Teachers, more than any other pro
fession, work in isolation, and it is
liehly necessary that they get to-
gether occasionally to consult, get
acquainted and profit by the experience
CT others.
A thousand teachers in Macon this
week means untold good to the prog
ress of education in this state.

THE PROOF OF VALUE
Lies Only in Actual Results
Accomplished. Nuxcara is
OF Tried Worth.

After all, results are the things that
really count. Therefore we quote from
a few of the many letters we have re-
ceived from prominent citizens who are
grateful for the relief Nuxcara has
given them for their suffering. These
are proof positive of it's value. Read
them.
Mr.. Richard Whiting, connected with
Uncle Remus Magazine, Atlanta, says.
consider Nuxcara the greatest rem
edy on earth for Indigestion and dys-
pepsia, IN fact, the only certain cure
have ever heard of, and have heen
hunting remedies for several years.
DR.. Frank Edmondson, of Frank Ed
mondson & Bros, Druggists, Atlanta,
says: I'm the Is years that have been
in the drug business, have never sold
a remedy that gave such univer-
sal satisfaction as Nuxcara for indiges-
ton and dyspepsia. Mr.. j. N. Rem
froe, of the United Gas Works, Phila-
delphia, says: CDR. Kelly's Nuxcara
is the only permanent and certain cure
for dyspepsia.
Q If you have any of the common symp-
toms of stomach trouble (heart-burn,
sick headache, languor, sour stomach,
nausea, giddiness, bad breath and ner-
vousness,) cure yourself easily and
cheaply by using this standard remedy.

Football boots are among some OF
the appeals to soldiers.
British transports have the right-of
way over all other ships in the harbor,
aid at the docks, and the British pre-
vail everywhere on shore. Some peo-
pie at Havre have inquired whether the
British occupation is going to last for
ever, an inquiry inspired by the seem
ingly permanent character of the in
istallations for the different services of
the British army and for the British
troops. Most people at Havre will be
glad if it does, because they are get
ting rich-all, except the fishermen.

Hayre is under naval, instead of mil

tie British army Khaki is the pre-
yailing color, but the French Admiral
Beard is the king of Havre and Tommy
Atkins must submit to his authority.
He must quit the saloon at 9 o'clock
and must not be found in a restaurant
after 10. Patrols look for him through
all the narrow ways and by-ways and
in the corners of the docks and pick
HIM up sharply if found after hours
where he should not be.
AS to the civilian, he looks in vair
for any sort of consideration in Havre;
those that live there content them
selves in taking British money in ex-
change for the best rooms, best apart
ments and best tables in the restau-
rants. The civilian from abroad gets
in with so much difficulty, he feels as
if he had broken in and almost insen-
sibly tries to sneak out; this, too, is
difficult, for the man from Scotland
Yard considers every civilian guilty of
spying until he has proven his limo

War Has Made The Port of
HqOre, France, One of The
Greatest In War Countries

HAVRE. April 10-Havre has always
been the most cosmopolitan port in
France, but never before the war would
you get three British half-pence and 4
Belgian sou in eight cents worth of
small change. That strictly is SYM
bolical of the Havre of today-only
half French, three-eights British and
al eighth Belgian.
1t is the influx of the British that
has doubled the traffic of the port
during the past nineteen months and
congested the docks until scores of
ships are at times seen lying in the
Offering for days, waiting or a spot to
become vacant at the quays. The
quays themselves are piled with bales
Of cotton, giving to the port a resem-
blance to New Orleans.
The cotton sheds, covering 20 acres
Of ground and fitted with 20 electric
cranes, have become insufficient and
tie bales are rolled upon the quays
everywhere that ship from New Or
leans happens to find a berth.
The traffic of the port of Havre,
which amounted to 100000 tons in
1913, was less than half that of Rot
terdam and only little more than a
third of that of Antwerp and Hamburg.
The reasons for it were largely lack of
docking facilities and the limited rail
road communications with Paris and
the center of France. Even before the
war, ships were sometimes held I'D in
the roads, waiting their turn to dock,
and new basis called the Tidal Ba-
sin" was planned and partly finished
with the view to relieving congestion.
The congestion of traffic now is not
only hindrance to commerce. but a
Danger TO navigation which greater
vigilance on the part of the French
navy against German submarines NAV
cbViate, but which is considered sufi-
GENTLY serious at the present time to
Justify consideration of the tempor-
airy use of the uncompleted Tidal Basin
as a refuge for vessels waiting their
turn to dock.
The town itself is far more animal
ed than in time of peace, and is una
voidably getting rich from the vast
expenditures of the British commits
sary department and the individual
trade of officers and soldiers. English
shop signs are seen everywhere along
side the French, for Tommy Atkins" is
slow in learning the language.
One of the most conspicuous things
one sees in the Rue de Paris, the prin-
clpal street in the town, is British
Bar in big, brave British red on the
window of saloon. A little further on
sign points the way to the British
Soldiers Club; another sign post
directs men to the British Officers
Club" while there are tea rooms every
where and restaurants that conspicu-
onsiy advertise Ham and Eggs" The
right shop for British" Come in and
demand for all the things you want"
