the rifle.
In one camp officers under instruc-

Communal kitchens are being estab-

from a recent issues of an English
newspaper is quoted:
"The war has brought home to the
public that the communal or national
kitchen is a necessity ana can be
made a success. Within a compare.
lively short period there will probably
be installed many hundreds of these
establishments throughout the coun

While the Guardians, to use strong
word, were defeated on Saturday by the
Lower Merton High School track team.
yet the performance of the collegians
was the real feature of the meet, for to
be beaten by mere point Is by no
means defeated team. Looking over
the scholastic sports for the last five
years, we find Northeast High School,
West Philadelphia High School and
Southern High School are usually leaders
of the scholastic league, but when you
take the numerous other teams, such as
George School. Swarthmore Prep School
and Girard College. you find that the
team that has made the most progress in
the last few years is undoubtedly Girard
College. For many years the collegians
have claimed the soccer title, and during
more recent years the Guardians cage
team has been unbeatable. Former
Coach McDermott always turned out a
championship baseball team and this
