NORMAL AND HIGH

WILDE First Game Between
Those Two Schools Since
1914.

A resumption OF athletic relations,
several since 1914, will be renewed to-
morrow evening when the Normal and
High school basketball teams will
meet in the first of three game series
on the Normal gym floor. Both teams
are in fine condition for the game and
are probably more evenly matched
than any two teams which in days
past fought so valiantly for the collie
gian championship.
In 1914, the last regularly scheduled
game between the two schools, Normal
was victorious. But in that lineup was

Ii blue birds stand fer happiness.
They needn't hunt arOun',
There's all that they can stand o that,
Right here in this old town.
They can make themselves as happy,
And feel as light and free,
And they're list as welcome to this
Good old place as you and me.
II Paradise should ever want
To move from where she's at,

The first thing off the bat,

Where the blue birds love to be,
And where, next to Paradise
It's Heaven itself, to you and me.

The Motor Situation
AS Viewed By The Hudson Company
Demand and Supply

Last Springs demand for the Hudson supersix
was at least FIVE times the supply.
Thousands of buyers waited weeks for their cars
thousands, after waiting long, turned to other cars
Ana thousands when they saw our waiting list we're
discouraged in advance
We figure that $4,000 people were forced to take
cars which they wanted less.

under pressure. Yet Hudson dealers have only small
stocks ahead.
Our production will be only one.afth morc than
last year. That is our factory limit.
Lack of freight cars is holding back sbpments

The American people-in

Universal Training

Denver Express
Don't lose sight oi the differ
ence between universal military
SERVICE and universal military
TRAINING.
Whatever you may think OF the
proposal that all citizens be re-
quired TO defend their country
when necessary, you can find no
legitimate excuse for opposition
to the training OF young men
and boys in the manual OF arms,
in rifiecraft and erect bearing, to
the end that if called upon they
defend themselves and their fu-
ture families both in peace and
in war
Military training does botturn
man into a militarist any more
than a mans ability to defend
himself with his fists makes him
a pugilist.
Universal training will give the
United | States a finer body OF
young manhood than it now po-
seSseSs.
Incidentally it will raise the
moral standard OF our nation.
Square-shouldered fellows who
know woodcraft and are physi-
cally fit, do not loll in front of
pool rooms with cigarets droop-
ing from their lips and leer at
women and girls as they pass.
The man with a democratic
military training, such as Swift
zerland gives it citizens, looks
the world in the eye aud knows
no man as a master.
Military training is not mask
for militaryism. 1t is militar.
ism's greatest foe.
