HOCKEY SUFFERS

has hit ice hockey in the northwest,
and players and patrons Of the Pacific
Coast Ice Hockey association are won

fessional schedule played this winter.
AT this time, with the season several
months away, sporting authorities are
talking Of a league OF three clubs,
Portland. Seattle and Vancouver.

a year ago.
Spokane and Victoria, B. C., the
only other two prospects, will not be

believed in Portland on account Of
lack Of support Last year Spokane

Lajoie is satisfied with his lot in

team has been in the pennant fight

prosperous. Hence. he isn't figuring
very heavily in leaving.

 The war has brought out scores of men of fine character and high qualified tions for military service who have been disappointed to find that they could not secure commissions in any branch of the service because of age or physical dis ability or could not go because of home responsibilities.
 The time is ripe for bringing these men and boys together The energy is needed in Birmingham. Will you hear the call of the boy and of your country.

NOSE COLD, SKIRTS SWIRLING
 CANYONS BEAUTY IS BLURRED
Zoe Becey Wonder of the Southwest Under Trying Conditions-Also One Hopi Indian Refuses to Talk
 Because He's Writing Book
By ZOE BECKLEY

Grand Canyon of Arizona, July 2.-(Spe- cial.)-The grand canyon of Arizonal Will some one kindly explain to the es- caping audience that we are not about to discourse upon the stupendous sub lfmity of natures superlative, etc. Ask them to keep their seats, please, for all we were about to say was that the Grand canyon of Arizona was extremely cold and snowy at the time of our visit We were so busy padding out our wardrobe with newspapers and spare sleeping garments, having sent all our warm clothing ahead in the belief that winter had passed well out of our orbit of travel, that we were unable to view the abyss with unalloyed admiration During the least ambitious stroll along the rim of the chasm our skirts per formed such unlooked-for miracles on the wings of the wind that, lacking the self possession of an Annette Kellermann and the courage to attempt two things at once, we looked to our skirts and let the chasm go.
 Of course there were moments-that drive, for instance, when, wrapped in a blanket swiped surreptitiously from a bed in Bright Angel cottage, we were momentarily comfortable-in which we viewed in profound peace the chaotic well ter of rosy peaks and gaudy rock strata.
 But our nose was very cold. It matched in hue the most exquisite tints of the afterglow. One cannot sense the deepest sublimity of the Grand canyon when the knees are a-shudder and the nose is cold. HOPES HAVE THEIR OWN TANGO
 It was warm of evenings in the Hopi house, however. The Hopi house is a native pueblo built by the Hopi Indians for the management of Fl Tavar hotel as place of entertainment for the guests. All sorts of Indian handicraft are sold there, and every evening the red men to do the corn dance and the rain dance and a very peaceful war dance for the delighted tourists.
 Jimmie beats the tom-tom. That's his white name, of course. His Hopi one is Hochewaya or something like that. and his yowlings shatter the air and cause ones blood to curdle when he accom- panes the feathered warriors in their twirlings.
 For all that, Jimmie belongs to a peace full tribe. The Hopis live at. the edge of the Painted Desert and it is they who every August execute the famous snake dance. which travellers from all over the world attend. They are domestic and homeloving, very kind to their women folk, and are said never to fight except in self defense.
 By day Jimmie, in a small town, ready made suit of hectic patterns, tends the telescope at the dizzy rock-built Look out. By night he assists, as aforesaid, at the Hopi house. I had heard much of Jimme's intelligence, his pride in his fat infant son and in his wife, whose

Concerning a Little Point in Which

lMO[n B chanced to be talking about WW books; she was an elderly woman in an old-fashioned
 bonnet which haloed an interesting strong face; we sat together apart from the crowd. and she seemed rather pleased to have the chance of discussing certain recent books; I smiled when she men, tioned the titlte of very modern, up- to-date Robert w. Chambers-Rupert- Hughes sort of story.
 ''Ill wager she was shocked to death when she read It." I observed on the quiet, smiling to myself, and then ! asked: What did you think of it?' Did you find 1t sordid and depressing, and did it have sort of taking all the hopes out of life effect on you as one of the critics said"
 Not at all," she answered gently much to my surprise. q liked 1t very much, and if I'd been raised on that sort of fiction, the kind the best writers are producing now, I'd have been spared a deal of disappointment can tell you"
 ''Why?" I asked.
 "Humph,' she said, because I was raised on the romantic school of nov els. as you'd have been, if you'd been young when I was. I was perfect book worm in those days and spent much of my time in reading; reading good au- thors, too, I want you to understand, and I grew up to think that the world was very wonderful place, filled with none but chivalrous men and beautiful women-and everything always ended happily. Everything always ends hap oily in those books you know.
 Yes I acquiesced, T guess 1t does"
 ''Of course 1t does,' she said quickly. The characters go through fiery fields, shed quarts of tears and utter heart rending speeches, but in the end the vil- lain is punished and the wrong is lighted; lover is restored to lover and virtue reigns triumphant. As for the men, what a set of angels they are, to be sure. King Cophetaus stepping off thrones to wed beggar maids and taking no thought of the consequences, making beautiful speeches on all occasions, and dying if need be for the love of their lady, both all bosh; it took me 20 years to discover that I'd been deceived by the classics and that men in life and men

Birmingham has a reputation for re- spending promptly and generously to every call, and now that the war Is beginning to take so many fine men out of their accustomed places ia social, educational and civic life. it is bringing about a critical situation in the Boy Scouts of America all oysF the country which can only be met by the right men volunteering as leaders.
 Our country needs the services of or ganized boys as is evidenced by the
