Basket Ball at Husoton

The boys who were to go to Hugo

Ralph Bane and the driver, Mr.. Boles,
filled the two front seats. About 6:15
we left the Stone garage and, after
most thrilling ride, arrived in HUI

four gates and some water in two
hours. At Hugoton, we Immediately
dressed, though our pep was gone and
we were stiff.
The girls played half, then we
shot some goals. The game was called
and we began with lack and Herman
as forwards, Edgar and Harold as
guards, and John In the center. Their
center, by comparison, Floyd has
nothing on him, was foot taller than
John. John touched the ball once the
first half. Our guards played rough,
but not dirty, as Harold fouled once
and Baker once. Their guard who
played against lack shot three goals
and three fouls. The other guard did
not score, but spent his time rough
ing Herman. Herman played clean,
fouling only twice through the game.
Herman shot one goal, lack two, and
John one, the first half. Each of HUI

first half.
The second half was much like the
first with no team work on either

Knitting Is a
Modern Art

Knitting is a modern accomplishment.
The first authentic mention OF II does
not occur until the beginning of the
fifteenth century.
The earliest knitted articles we're caps
worn by the common people at large,
the price in Henry Wis reign being two
shillings and eight pence.
In 1870 knitting had been established
as a domestic employment. The scope
is hinted at by a reference in Edward
Wis time to "knitte hose, knitte petit
coats, knitte gloves and knitte sleeves.
Henry VIII had proudly sported a
pair of silk stockings, a present from
Spain, and in the reign of Queen Eliza
beth the talented fingers OF Mistress
Montague, the queens silk woman,
achieved homemade pair for her be-
loved sovereign who was so delighted
with this novelty that she vowed never
again to incase her royal ankles in the
heavy sewed-up- -the-slde stockings
which were in common use at that time.

Even before the latest disclosures
OF the French government, it was
evident that Count Czernin's speech
had caused extraordinary confusion
in both Germany and Austria. As
it was carefully insisted that the
speech was made by arrangement
with Herr Won Kuhlmann, it re-
mains to be discovered what pre-
cisely the two plotters were aiming
at Presumably they agreed that,
however risky the operation might
be, a fresh demonstration OF Austro-
German solidarity on the one hand
and OF the strong hand" in Austria
on the other hand, had become alb
solutely necessary.
Most OF the earlier German com
ment is now OF little importance,
but the following passages from the
Norwaefts are interesting:
Ever since he came into power
Herr Clemenceau has roared war,
and under his government any dis
position TO peace has passed for
high treason. Is it now to be said
of him that he himself, in all quiet
and secrecy, and before the final
victory sent a messenger to nego-
tiate with the enemy2 1t is a
thousand to one that this affair
was only an unskiliul attempt to
entice Austria out of the alliance,
but msohievous rumor will pursue
Clemenceau and accuse him of
playing double game. ..
Zone thing remains obscure. The
statement of the Austrian minister
exhibits the French government in
a state OF impossible simplicity. He
who wills the end must also will
the means, and the entente states
man who in the present state of the
war wills peace must also will the
renuneiation of annexationS. There
is in Germany nobody whatever who
regards the surrender of Alsace-
Lorraine 10 France as possible, so
long as the German armies are not
defeated. Could Herr Clemenceau
be in any doubt about this, when
even the socialist press of Germany
had ruthlessly stated its point OF
view in this matter"
