TWO SHIFT
. HELP TEAMS
High School Athletes Expected
to Benefit Greatly From New
System to Be Started.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Announcement today by public
school officials that three OF the hlgh
schools will be worked on a platoon
or two-shift day plan, means that
more time can be devoted to athletics
in after school activities and should
result in the development of many
more boys than has been the Usual
custom. Under the new system the
upper classes will start to school
earlier and will be released much
earlier in the day. This means that
in athletics they will have a chance
for development in greater numbers.
The change in the hours also means
that the boys OF the entire frst year
group can be brought to school in the
morning for their athletic develop.

pa rt icularly in the numbers affected.
The weakness of the present system
lies in the fact that the high schools,
too. for that matter. are seriously
handicapped on account OF lack or
facilities for Fairgrounds and the fact
that the teaching force is entirely in
adequate in handling the numbers.

1t is expected that the big stadi um

The old saying, Laugh and grow

in it, but the grow fat" part of 1t

adiposity can create mirth galore,
but the general run of them are OF

having that well-known Tear and

Be that as il may, however. It
nevertheless is a fact that a very
large majority of professional fun

Minstrel show August 4

The tremendous success of min
strelsy in the hallowed past was
undoubtedly due to the fact that the
theatregoers fiocked to the play
house because they preferred the
lighter form of entertainment. Man.
ayers presume the public disposition
toward the gay effects of the foot
lights rather than those that thrill
or evoke discussion at the present
time is also due to the fact that the
theatregoers of the present age pre-
fer the lighter form of entertain
ment. The most popular of the
lighter forms of amusement IN the
playhouse today is negro minstrel
sy. Indeed, it is freely conceded by
producers that this kind of enter
tainment has outdistanced all
others in popularity. Minstrelsy.
the great American institution, has
come back to its own. Striking the
iron while it is hot, catching the
spirit of the hour and minstreling
to it as Haverly did in days of yore.
Gus Hill has fully demonstrated the
fact that a splendid minstrel organ
ization can hold the same popular
ity today as in the bygone era. Gus
Hills Minstrels is sweeping the
country with the acclaim and gla-
mour of other days won by Haver-
ly, Billy Emerson, Birch, Wambold,
Backus, Dan Bryant and Barlow
and Wilson. This is the same George
Wilson who toured the country in
the early sos as one of the firm of
Barlow and Wilson. Gus Hills

sanitary sewers in this section of the
city. to take care of drains. Inspector

drainage was stagnant and caused a
nuisance that people nearby com
planned of.

complaint against the State Depart
ment of Health, stating that they

suggested hat samples the local
board would have in the future,
