first match basketball game was
played at Springfield between two
clas steams. In the previous month.
at a meeting Of the faculty Of the
Springfield school, the need OF some
new form Of exercise was discussed.
It was agreed that there was a de-
mand for a sport that would provide
plenty Of action without brutality.
and which would serve the purpose
OF scientific physical development
Dr. Naismith gave much thought TO
the problem. and soon evolved the
game OF basketball The first contest
demonstrated that the new snort had
a powerful appeal Goals We're then
made of iron hoops from which nets
were suspended The latter were at
first so woven as to hold the ball. but
later il was found desirable to change
the nets so that the ball could drop
through TO the playing floor. Basket
ball is essentially q winter sport. and
has been introduced in Europe and
South America with great success.

ON 10 investigate many cases Of alleged dis
elimination directed against women as a
class This was causing great dIssatlS-
faction among the women.
Inquiry showed that the local officials
were well satisfied with their service
Several roadnasters testified to the
excellent character Of the work done nv
the women that they were prompt,
reliable and Conscientious. and, more
over, showed no more tendency To lose
their heads IN critical moment than the
men in these positions
Though the management is. Of course

IL Is clear that the women at present IN the
service have the right to their positions
II they are filing them to the satisfaction
OF their superiors excepting certain posi-
tIons as skilled mechanics which require
stated training and experIence).
After the arInlstlce there was apparent
ly an impression IN some parts Of the
country that women could be removed
and men put In their places, but the wage
orders apply equally to women and men
and they are entitled 70 their positions
according to seniority as long rs their
work is satisfactory
With the return 10 normal labor supply
il has been . matter OF great interest to
observe the changes IN the number of wO-
men employees. The Women's Service
Section collects and complies quarterly
reports from Class | roads on the number
of women IN their employ
As WAS To D c expected, the return OF men
from military service who had had their
positions kept for them, and the general
decrease in the labor force early this
year, resulted IN considerable decrease
On July |, 1919, the number had fallen to
81, POI, or decrease of 19.l percent since
the high-water mark OF October /. 1918.
The decrease WAS, however, less IN the
clerical occupations than in any other
class, amounting to u ? percent.
The present status OF women IN the ser
vice was the subject of much interest in
the recent conference in Chicago held By
the staff of the Nomens s Service Section
aud the supervisors of women employees.
The broader aspects of wonan's place in
the railroad world also were discussed and
attention was called 20 the need, * re-
vealed by the L : X A. statistics, Of

standards of efficiency If they are 10 bc

Ions of white liquor. From there
they visited the home of "colored

negro named Hale were arrested for
having the liquor in their possession.
Monday they were tried in city

them over to the criminal court.
