CANTON BEATS
HIGH SHOOTERS
Local Team Outplayed by Visiting
Squad and Lose Mean Fight,
"a to II.
By sSPHEROID SLIM

Last night fOr the 6fSt Time IN
three or four years Rock Island
high school basketball squad was
defeated on the home floor, the dose
being administered by Canton to
the tune OF q to IA. Both teams
fought hard throughout the game
and the locals more than held their
own during the first half but weak
ened in the final round.
The defeat cannot be attributed
to any single person but the Can
ton squad having practiced since
school began. were more experience
ed in the gentle art of looping them
in than the Islanders. The Canton
ties surely gave an exhibition Of
clever team work passing the ball
up and down the floor almost at
will. Canton plays Moline tonight
and the result Of that game will
give some dope for the coming Mo-
line-Rock Island contest.
1t could easily be seen last night
that the locals needed quite a bit
of practice before they will become
! the whirlwind team of past years
I Their team work last night was
ragged and without system and
when they did get the ball down
the floor no one could shoot bas-
ket with any success. They failed
to cover up when it was Canton's
ball out of bounds and were toe
slow to pass out Of bounds them
selves. Rock Island needs prac-
tice in foul shooting also. OF the
seven foul goals tried not one was
successful. In short the locals pu,

TAKING AWAY ALI HOPE.

Pittsburgh, Jan. 2-Scientist have found a way. of taking the 'alcohol kick out of lemon. orange and other fiavoring extracts without causing de- .terioration to the fluids which are now so eagerly sought after by the thirsty ones.
 This announcement was made by the Mellon Institute, which houses scientists of all classes, creeds and convictions. It was also announced | that there was no specific intent on the part of the scientists. to deprive mere man of his drink" in making the well known brands of favoring extracts impotent, but to find a use for glycerin, which at the present time is a, drug on the market.
 So it came to pass that glycerin was found to fill the place now occu- pied by alcohol in favoring extracts Gdycerin is a by-product of soap making. It Is mostly obtained from the spent 1ye'' of the soap maker. One Pittsburgh manufacturer is ale ready utilizing the discovery and turning out favoring extracts with a base of glycerin-

 ''The reason eggs are selling at one dollar a dozen,'' he said, "is because this country is one hundred million laying hens short. The way to br1ns down the price is for city folks to enter the chicken business in a modest way.
