Penn, Princeton, Cornell

By Ray Mccarthy

The race in the intercollegiate bas-

be the keenest since the organization

teams. Pennsylvania, Princeton, Cor

legs on the trophy will gain permanent
possession of the trophy. Princeton
and artmoDuth have yet to win first
place in the eague. although the
Tigers have often been runners-up and
on several occasions have lost out for
top place by one game.
This year the Jersey students feel
that they have an exceptionally good
chance to get home first. In the two
games already played the Tigers have

Las Veaas Has Future.

Las Vegas was founded by some Mex
leans when New Mexico was a part of
old Mexico, in 1885, and the Mexican
government granted to the new COM
munity an area of some 100000 acres
The Mexicans took up what they need
Ad of this land and built village in the
middle of the settlement 1t remained
a sleepy Mexican town Until some time
in the seventies, when it was struck
simultaneously by several Yankees and
Jews, and by a wave of prosperity.
The MeXicans, who had been squat
ting ON 4 part of the community grant,
showed that they were capable of learn
ing modern business methods by claim
ins the whole 100000 acres. After a
long contest the courts confirmed them
In their titles to the lands they actu-
ally occupied, but decided that the rest
of the area belonged to the community.
And SO it is today. This town owns
great grazing areas, which are open to
all citizens, and valuable timberlands.
Ultimately Las Vegas will be rich and
her people tax free.

PLiCE CHILDREN ABOVE ALL
Little Ones Have Been AptIy Described
as Monarchs in Homes Of Serbian
Parents.

The tragedy of the little children Of
Serbia reduced to starvation, disease
and raggedness is really understood
onIy when one comprehends the in
tense love Of home and children that
fills all Serbian hearts.
's'Tl.e Serbian home is the sanctum
of Serbian life" writes Miss Wagner,
"the shrine before which the Serbian
heart Worships, the altar upon which
the products OF hand and heart are
placed in simple, tribute. And the
guiding spirit OF the home is, of course,
the woman, tie wife and mother. We
must 90 farther, though and say that
while the mother may be the guiding
spirit, the monarch of the home is the
child What we are preaching with re-
neWed intensity today regarding the
Importance of the child, the education
Of the child, Serbia has long preached
and endeayOred to practice. Almost
Spartan in it's creed is the valuation
placed upon d child life. The child is
more than a companion to his mother,
more than an heir to his fathers bust
ness, lands or wealth. he is the proper
ty of the state. He is part of Serbia |!
Everything is sacrificed to the welfare
and advancement OF the child"

MAKE TROUBLE FOR DENTIST
Successful Treatment of Wisdom
Teeth Always Is More or Less
OF Problem.

Wisdom teeth, especially lower ones
are much more difficult to handle than
any of the others in the mouth. When
their nerve dies or has to be killed
by the dentist he cannot be sure for
some time that it is really dead. The
reason is that the roots of a wisdom
tooth are twisted or curved in such a
manner that the root canal cannot be
explored
The upper wisdom teeth have three
roots, Frequently fused together
forming a grooved cone, which is usu-
ally curved backward" says Gray's an
atomy. "The roots of the lower, two
in number, are compressed together
and curve backward"
1t is this backward curving of the
compressed roots that gives trouble to
the dentist. Often the canal that
runs through each root is so narrow
and so curved that the finest of the
brooches" used to draw out the dead
nerve will not penetrate, and some
times when it has penetrated it will
not come out.
When this happens there is only one
thing to do--leave the brooch and ap-
ply iodine, which will very soon eat
away the steel of which the brooch is
made.

ADMlRATlON'N0 CALLED FOR

The hardest part of flying is land

would-be aviators come TO grief. An
experienced pilot who makes a.-bad
landing and goes bouncing across Il
field is disgraced and usually feels the
humiliation to the utmost.
Early in the war a ladies day" was
held at an airdrome in England.
Among the guests who thronged the
field were many ladies in gala attire.
Late in the afternoon a pilot who was
a captain gave an exhibition perform
ance. He left the ground in perfect
style, did a succession Of vertical
turns and a few "acrobaticS," then
shut off his motor TO land and receive
the applause that he knew was await
ing him from the fair sex.
AS the machine neared the ground
the captain misjudged his distance,
with the result that he hit the ground
hard, made a series of high jumps all
the way across the field, and came at
last to rest just in time to avoid crash
ing into a fence. He turned his ma
chine, TAXED" to the hangar and some
what sheepishly rejoined the guests.
His fellow pilots were having hard
time to restrain themselves from
laughter, and just as it appeared that
they had succeeded very fat, guSh-
ing sort of woman approached the cap
tain and said in accents loud and
clear:
MY dear captain, on behalf of the
ladies present l wish to thank you for
the wonderful exhibition of flying you
have given US. 1t was truly marvel

thing to see and that landing of yours
