G.. G. H. s. CAGERS WIN

The Glenwood boys basketball team
came one step nearer the Western
Slope championship Saturday night by
defeating Aspen sos. Aspen brought
down $50 live wire rooters and they
also brought disappointing team.
Heatherly, supposed star and all around
man on the Aspen team, failed to get
into action. Blame Alex.
The Aspen boys were outplayed, ont
classed, and outguessed from the tap
of the gong. Superior coaching has
done the work in Glenwood. Coach
Sims is the man responsible for Asr.
ems defeat.
AS forwards, Malaby and Hammond
were right there. They played fast,
snappy game all the way through.
Malaby has won his place on the All
Triangular team by his work against
Aspen.
Brady Loser, the center post of the
team, around which the team revolved
so well, has also made his place on the
Triangular team.
Alex Allen and Doug Cross have been
recognized as the two best guards on
the Western Slope. We would advise
that Alex consider himself more as
unit of the greatest team on the West
ern Slope and not as the whole team.
The girls game was speedy con-
test, and it looked for a while as
though the Glenwood girls would win
but three quick baskets by Captain
Babe' Prindle of Aspen turned the
tide into 22-l5 victory for Aspen.
We agree with Mr.. Fuller Hamilton,
sporting editor of the Avalanche Echo,
that the following is the All-Triangu-
lar girls team:
Doine Stenman, forward, Leadville;
"Babe" prindle, forward, Aspen;
Myrtle Maugan, jumping center, Lead
vile; Stella Sutherland, running cen
ter, Aspen; Gladys MacRae, guard,
Glenwood; Stella Ryan, guard, Aspen;
Opal Richardson, sub forward, Glen
wood; Irene Gilroy, sub, Leadville.

hustled to the quartermaster stores
and received an awful shock. The
Quartermaster sergeant spread wa

would never stop, but when the pile
reached to my knees he paused long
enough to say, "Next, No. 5217, Arris,

at the pile of junk in front of me, and
then my eyes wandered around looking

He is in the quartermaster corps, but

that the young man has gained twenty

He yawned and answered, II don't

I was speechless.

ly got one recruit.
This perhaps was not the greatest
stunt in the world, but It got back at
the oficer who had told me,-"Yes, We
take anything over here" had been
spending a good lot Of my recruiting
time in the saloon bar of the Wheat
Sheaf pub (there was a very attractive
blonde barmaid, who helped kill time
I was not as serious in those days as
I was a little later when I reached
the front)-well. 1t was the sixth day
and my recruiting report was blank.
I was getting low In the pocket bar

who cannot buy drinks-so looked
around for recruiting material. You
know n man on recruiting service gets

he entices into joining the army, the
recruit Is supposed to get this, but he
would not be a recruit If he were wise
to this fact, would he?
Down at the end of the bar was a
young fellow in mufti who was very
patriotic-he had about four "Old
Six" ales aboard. He asked me II he
could Join, showed me his left hand,
two fingers were missing, but said
that did not matter as tive take any,
thing over here" The left hand Is
the rifle hand as the piece Is carried
at the slope on the left shoulder. Near
ly everything in England is "by the
left" even general traffic keeps to the
port side.
I took the applicant over to head
quarters, where he was hurrleSly ex-
amined. Recruiting surgeons were
busy in those days and did not have
much time for thorough physical exam
nations. My recruit was passed as

a corporal to make note Of his scars.
I was mystified. Suddenly the corpo-
ral burst out with, "Blime me, two of
his fingers are gone" Turning to me
he said, you certainly have your
nerve with you, not 'alf you ain't, to
bring this beggar in."
The doctor came over and exploded.
"What do you mean by bringing In q
man in this condition."
Looking out Of the corner Of my eye
I noticed that the ofiicer who had re-

I could not help answering, SWELL, sir.

Girls! It's Your
Step That Attracts!
Says Women Pay too Much Heed to
Their Faces Instead of
Their COrns.

Watch your step! A brisk, lively
step is what charms more than love-
ly skin, but your high heels have
caused corns and you limp little.
That's bad, girls, and you know it.
Corns destroy beauty and grace, be-
sides corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet of every corn by ask
ing at any drug store for quarter of
an ounce of freezone. This will cost lit
tie but is sufficient to remove every
hard or soft corn or eallus from ones
feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
tender, touehy corn relieves the sore
ness and soon the entire corn, root and
all, lifts right out with out pain.
Hhis freeZone is gummy substance
which dries instantly and simply shri-
wells up the corn without inflaming or
even irritating the surrounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that corn
less feet create youthful step
which enchanees her attraetiveness.
