LAST BASKET BALL CONTEST TONIGHT University Five and B. A. C. to Bring Cage Season
 to a Close

When the final whistle is sounded on the U of A.-B. A. c. game at the Attn letic club tonight, the 1919 basket bal season will pass into history, at lease as far as Birmingham is concerned The season, viewed from all angles, has been a successful one for the local club which, after rather late start, developed one of the best teams in Dixie.
 True, the Vanderbilt and Atlanta games were lost but in each battle the local boys fought gamely and were defeated by the narrowest of margins. The uni versity clan is expected to put up some stiff opposition tonight but their most ar dent admirer will hardly predict victory for them.
 For It's weight, the B. A. c. team IS about the fastest and most formidaoie five in the south today and these noys have frequently outplayed aggregatlons many pounds to the man heavier.

TO TEACH USE OF
ARTIFICIAL LIMBS
BY United Press.

London, Feb 2o.-(By mail.) y
Schools to teach use of artificial arms
and legs to thousands of mutilated
war heroes are springing up all over
England
The pensions ministry pioneered in
this work when it established a
school at Charterhouse military hos
pital.
The government also is encourag-
ing private experimentation to devel-
op new types of arms of still greater
usefulness.
More types are being developed
daily says Sir Charles Henderdine,
director of the artificial limb depart
ment of the pensions ministry
Our biggest difficulty is persuad-
ing men to persevere in learning how
to use artificial legs and arms. They
are at first uncomfortable and cum
bersome. This soon discourages the
ordinary man, who begins to feel he
had better get along without the ap-
pliance"
A months training, however, usu-
ally convinces the experimenting sol
der the appliance enables him to d d
many things he couldn't without it.
Sir Charles says.
Very many men find the man-mads
legs and arms enable them to per-
form their prewar tasks which at
first seemed impossible without the
natural number Of sound members.
