THE COST OF A MEAL


What does d good meal cost, such

Dor in construction camp or logging

who pays for it.
Perhaps very few persons know the
actual cost of such meal, or ever
take the pains to find out. Bookkeep-
ing and actual cost accounting rarely
enter into the budgets, or lack of bud

FTZ--yv7lFW YEARS day Isn't what GIAM4#H 1t used to be, This is in HiS&IEN n small way attributable to H5s$lI7H the addition 10 the Consti- llAAyl4AlH tuition of some dry reading
 matter. In still greater part 1t is because the International ob- session for celebrating whenever Fa- ther Time takes Il fresh start in pilot ing the earth around the sun is thou sands of years old. The manner of observing the day has changed greatly through the centuries.
 The urge to give presents at least once n year was felt even before Christmas and Santa Claus came into the scheme of things, and the an- cient Greeks, Chinese, Egyptians and Romans rendered their gifts to one another on the first day of the year. Kings got, into the habit of receiving extra gifts from their subjects on these days and liked 1t so we'll they began extortlng larger and larger sums. This practice got so bad in Rome under the Caesars that Clau- dius called n halt.
 It spread to other countries, how ever and the English had their New Years celebration spoiled annually by rapacious sovcreigns until Queen Elizaheth's modest demands of her subjects cut gifts down to n mini- mum. In those days the celebration of New Years day had become world wide. With variations to suit all nn- tionalities, 1t consisted everywhere of eating, drinking and motley merrl- ment.
 Christopher Columbus, so far as is known, was the first white man to jubilnte on New Years day in the western hemisphere. While his ships were undergoing repairs on January 1, 1403, he enjoyed n sumptuous dln- ner with two savage monarchs on the island of Haiti After this meal, history says, the dlscoverer of Amer Whether he enjoyed 1t Is not recorded, but he left 1t to a later generation Sir Walter Raleigh Is generally cred lted with the functlon-to introduce tobacco to Europe.
 The Pilgrim Fathers and the first families of the older states of the Union enjoyed n quiet holiday as each year came around. They feasted, but not until they had attended re- ligious services.
 For 25 years up to the dawn of 1920 and the era of wartime pro- hibition, the celebration in large cit- les became noisier and more expen- sive each year. Thousands used to crowd into places of merrIment, while principal thoroughfares were packed with throngs of merrymakers with squawkers, clappcrs, bells and confetti.
 Every hotel and most of the res taurants were damned with gay diners. In 1908 il was estimated that $1,000000 was spent in the New York white-lIght district on New Years eve. After that statisticlans gave up try Ing to figure out tho sum.

GREENVILLE HAS THREE IMPORTANT CAGE GAMES

Greenville, February 17.-(Special.) 1.-The basketball team of the Greenville High school team will play three very ,impor- tant games during the next five days. The result of one will figure largely in deciding the championship for the state.
 The first game will be played in Troy on Friday night against the team of the Troy High school. The other will be played on the local campus against the team of the Grove Hill High school. The local five has defeated all of the con- tenders for the out-of-door champion- ship in south Alabama except Bay Mi nette, which team the locals havenot yet met this season. The Grove Hill team has already defeated Bay Minette, and if Greenville defeats Grove Hill, this will eliminate Bay Minette's claim. Green vile has already won one and lost one to Andalusia, and game will be played with this team to determine Andalusia $ status in the claim. However, Andalusia has lost to one or more teams that Greenville has defeated, and her claim is not very strong.
 The manager of Greenville's team IS considering making application to play in the state tournament that will be held in Birmingham during the last part of the month, at which time the. teams from Sidney Ianier, Marbury and Gen. tral High will be met.
