called the lance corporal to account.
The corporal answered.: "Blime nr,
sir. the straw was issued, but there
wasn't enough left over from the
servants beds; in fact. we had to use
some OF the 'ay to 'elp out. sir"
1t is needless TO say that serv-
ants dispensed with their soft beds
that particular night.
Nevertheless it is not the fault of
the individual officer, it Is Just the
survival Of a quaint old English GUS

not be changed in a day.

Final games Saturday night, March

The final and deciding game sched-

Basketball League will be played
Saturday night between Catholic

also wind up In their contest against
Maryland State.
The former game will be well

Georgetown University showed con-
cIusively that their team was away

College. IS to .. They won with
ease, while Gallaudet gave both
George Washington and Catholic
Universities the fight of their young
lives In order to win from them.
Coach John O'Reilly has the great
est team this season that has ever
played on the Hilltop. Both Jim
and Jack McNulty, his two centerS
are the best pivot men in the city.
In Capt Fees and O'Lone, George
town has an unusually clever pair
Of forwards. Both are great floor
players in addition to being excep-

persons have termed a marathon
basketball player. he covers so much
territory with his speedy dribbling.
He does not play with quite as much
precision as Fees, who is remarka-
Die, II he had no other rare qualities,
for the many baskets he makes by
follow-up shots.
? The game Saturday night between
, Galeaisdet Coilesrrsna Maryfand state
should not be overlooked, because of
the game in which the title is at
stake. Maryland State showed in
their last contest against the Hatch
cities that tbsr5 were a much i'm

Greeners will have to go at their best
in order to exc out a victory in the
last contest OF the season.

The word "stand down" was passed

"ALL OUGHT TO BE SCOUTS"

Il would have every boy on his twelfth

of no single idea in our modern life

"The scout idea fits into these busy
days for fathers with particular force,
since where the father cannot give as
much attention to his boy as i'm normal
times, or Is away from home on serv-
Ice, the ScOutmaster comes in with his
steadying influence In peculiarly hap

The entire fundamental structure
OF good citizenship lies in the idea:
obedience, respect for authority and
himself, consideration for the other fell

SCOUTS IN REAL WAR WORK.

The Boy Scouts Of America Is
growing at the rate of 1 200 a day. A
regiment Of youngsters Is being re-
corded each "a hours ut the national
headquarters In New York city. There
are now 353.O48 Of these scouts twelve
years old and over.
The reason Is that the government
has given the boys who are scouts
many real things to do to help win the
war. and they have found out that as
scouts they can have q definite and
clearly recognized part to play in the
winning of it.
While other boys are simply tossing
their hats up or cheering from the
"side lines" the Boy Scouts Of Amer
lea is being called upon by the presi-
dent, the secretary Of the treasury,
the war department, the food admins
tration and other branches Of the gov
.ernment, the Red Cross, the Liberty
loan committees and all factors In
winning the war.
