HIGH SCHOOL
BAZAAR TODAY,


Have you been to see the High
School Bazaar? 1t opens at ten
o'clock this morning in the building
right beside the Pastime Theater,
and as long as there is anything to
sell they will be right there on the
job.
The Seniors and Juniors are so
proud of their booths that they have
sent in descriptions of them, which
are quoted below, and the other two
booths probably deserve just as much
praise, but the young workers have
been too busy getting them in shape
to send in their articles, so all you
can do is go and see them for your
self.
Following the bazaar there will be
a High School dance at the Armory
Hall, commencing at s p. M, and
among other interesting features the
results of the Popularity Contest win
be announced during the course Of
the evening.
The men of the army and navy are
cordially invited to attend this
dance.
The following are the descriptions
of the Senior and Junior booths
which were handed in:
The spirit of the times is ex-
pressed by the Senior booth at the
High School bazaar. AS you enter
you will see on the left hand side
the Senior booth which represents
the allied nations. The booth is of
lattice work. the arches at the top
being artistically decorated in red,
white and blue, and the sides are en-
closed by interlaced strips of red and
white. At the back of the booth the
Senior banner in green and gold is
displayed between the American
flags. The flags of the allies are all
represented and it is novel sight
and most interesting to distinguish
the flags of the various countries.
France and the United States sister
! countries, occupy the place of honor
at the top of the booth over the
sign "The Allies" Words. however,
will not describe the Senior booth
and so we invite all to visit it today
and take advantage of the lovely ar
ticles of handiwork of the Seniors,
which are offered for sale The ar
ticles will be sold by Senior girls
! dressed to represent the allied coun-
tries, France. England, Russia, Italy
and the United States. Everybod,
come to the bazaar and don't miss
the Senior booth.

The Women Of France,

The women of France have won
great honor by great service, but their
work has been woman's work. They
have kept their hands on the details
the things that make the difference be-
tween profit and loss in trade or agri-
culture, and between paths Of pleas
antness and bad going in our daily
walk. They are wise in the technique
of living-not for themselves alone, but
for France, her men and her children.
If France is pleasant and Frenchmen
love it, it is Frenchwomen who have
made it so, writes E. s. Martin in the
Atlantic. If life is pleasant to French
men and they love it, it is French
women who have made it so. If French
men love France more than life, it is
because in a conquered France French
life could not flourish, or "Frenchwom-
en- train it and make it worth living
to Frenchmen. 1t is a great Office to
make life pleasant; to make it worth
living. So far as it is done, it is done
chiefly by women, but not by women
whose motto is "Women for women" or
Every woman for herself"

Hausa, and acquired thereby a strong

their blood, and it is, Of course, from
this that the present emir of Katsena
is sprung.
Katsena has been under British pro-
lection only since the year 1903, when
Sir Frederick Lugard visited the state
on his way from Sokoto, and the emir
and chiefs accepted British s%uzerainty
without fighting. In the following year,
however, the emir was u%nfaithful to
his oath of allegiance, and he was de-
posed, and his successor, the present
emir, was installed in his stead. Since
that time the history Of Katsena has

some confederation Of this is furnished
by the fact that the Hausa language
has several striking points of resem-
blance with the Coptic, and also with
that spoken by the Berbers south Of
Irlpolf and Tunis. 1t is also note
worthy that the Hausa, alone of all the
native inhabitants of tropical Africa,
have been able themselves to reduce
their language to writing. The char
acter they use is a modified form of
Arabic; the language is rich and sono-
rous, and contains no less than TO-
600 words; and some fragments of
Hausa literature are in existence, con-
sisting Of religious and political poems,
together with a limited amount Of ma

a third of the people are Mohammedan,

Large numbers Of the Hausa Mo-
hammedans make the pilgrimage to
Mecca every year, and they are a
peaceful and industrious people, liv-
ing partly in farmsteads amid their
crops, being excellent agriculturists,
and partly in large trading centers.
They have developed a variety of in
dustries, such as the making Of cloth,
mats, leather, and glass; and not only
do they trade with foreign parts, but
they themselves journey far afeld as
traders, small colonies of them being
met with in towns as widespread as
Lagos, Tunis, Tripoli, Alexandria and
Suakin. In Sierra Leone and the Gold
Coast territory they form the back
bone Of the military police; and, un-
der English leadership, again and
again they have shown themselves to
be admirable fighters and capable of a

the disparity in numbers. One Ranger,

sufficient to quell a Texan disturbance;
now that there were three Of them,
he felt equal to an invasion of Next

he relaxed his watchful vigilance, and
