Wilmington High Easy Victors

The Penns Grove High Schol boys
Wen to Wilmington Saturday and fell
hard before the hands of Wilmington
High. Final score 51-0.
The Penns Grove boys were out
weighed about twenty pounds to a
mar to begin with. Even though
they did not play their best on the
offensive, the Penns Grove boys put
up quite a creditable game against
the mighty charges of Wilmington.
Wilmington started in with a great
rush and Hayes soon went over for
the first touch down on an end run.
McGraw kicked the goal. Soon after
wards Stewart carried the pigskin be-
hind the uprights. McGraw again
kicked the goal. On the kick Of
Johnson fumbled and was tackled be-
hind the goal for 4 safety.
In the second quarter, Penns iicove
strengthened and held Wilmington to
one touchdown, which Stewart made,
Carter kicking the goal. Then Pnnns
Grove had a faint ray of hope. Dol
bow caught one of Wilmington's for
wards and ran twenty yards and was
brought down on the ten yard line but
time was called for the half.
Penns Grove had the ball quite
often but fumbled or would throw its
forwards right Il Wilmington's men
who would take the ball down the
feld and then with some tricks and
.plunges would soon have another
-ouchdown marked up against PENS
Grove. Penns Grove more than once
had the ball in Wilmington's territory,
but could not make many gains
against their stone wall line.
The Penns Grove boys very near
played out, let Wilminton tear thru
for large gains. Hays went thru for
the first touchdown of the second half.
Garter kicked the goal. 1t was not
long before Hayes went over for an
o1her. Carter also kicking the goal.
Wilmington added II more points
in the last quarter, White and Fell
mailing the touehdowns and McGraw
kicking the goal. Every man on VII
n7ington's team played a fine game,
while Broadway and Dolbow played the
best game for Panns Grove.

How They Shoot in China.

Details of the battle in Picking be-
tween Chang Hsun's ill-starred forces
and the besieging republican troops
indicate that the hostilities were more
exciting than dangerous, remarks the
Salt Lake Herald-Republican.
The dictator was surrounded by
about 1000 of his followers when he
sought refuge in the Forbidden City,
and the attacking party numbered at
least five times as many.
Chinese soldiers have never been
noted for expert skill in handling fire
arms, as substantiated by the authen-
tic report that considering the enor-
nous quantity of ammunition used and
the number of troops engaged" the
casualties were remarkably small, only
ten killed and thirty wounded among
combatants and three times the num-
Der of killed and wounded among Gin
nocent bystanders."
For obvious reasons Uncle Sam was
simply giving the Chinese sound and
friendly advice when he told them to
keep out Of the way and harmonic
their internal differences.

The Boon of a Short Memory.

A Canadian corporal writes that the
condition Of the ''roads" often appears
perfect pandemonium until one gets
used to it. One Of the strains that
counts in this war is on coming out Of
the trenches to go to a rest billet. Up
in the line man is keyed up to stand
a bombardment, and there is fierce
joy in getting to close quarters with a
bayonet. But when the relief is over,
and the regiment is on it's way for
four or five miles to rest billets, the
stimulus is lacking, the pack seems
doubly heavy, and the road is very
hard to feet softened by three or four
days of wearing gumboots in the mud
of the trenches. In "a hours, with a
bath, a shave, and clean kit, there will
be different men; for memory is mer-
cifully short in this war, and the COM
forts or discomforts of the moment are
the things that count.

Master of Proportions.

An eager young teacher was review
ing the Sunday school lesson in mis-
sion church in Brooklyn. The subject
was "Moses and the Bush That
Burned Without Being Consumed"
The boys of ten and twelve had been
greatly interested in the story and
were now eager to expose their
knowledge. Answers followed her
questions with the rapidity Of ma
chine gun.
"Now, Harry, it's your turn"
"Yessum," was the confident an
sWer.
Tell me what there was about this
burning bush that was different from
any bushes that have burned since"
The boy knew-you could tell from
the swapping Of his eyes-but he
paused to formulate his words. "Why,
ma'am, you see this here bush it
burned up-but it didn't burn down -

planned it better.-Youth's Compan-

Sleep on Life Preservers.

It must afford considerable consola-
ton to the navy recruit to realize that
the mattress ON which he sleeps so
comfortably at night will stand him In
good stead in case Of an accident to
the ship. In fact the very buoyancy,
which makes it such a comfortable bed
is also the quality which makes 1t pos
sible for it to be converted at a mo-
ment's notice into life preserver, says
Popular Science.
The mattresses are stuffed with
kapok, a lighter-than-cork material
which is imported from the West In
dies in bales similar to bales Of cot
ton. It is made from the seeds and
silk Of a tree not unlike the cOtton-
wood tree, but instead Of being in
puffy balls, the kapok is in slender
threads, which when compressed make
a mass that is six times more buoyant
than cork.
Thin layers Of the kapok are IN
closed in strong ticking for the mat
tresses. Each mattress is provided
with tapes long enough to tie around
the body and over the shoulders.
