Tor the service men. The only one Of
the alumni who showed up was Wen
dell Smith Of Andoyer and rather than
disappoint the fans several members
Of the Spanlding varsity team and 9TH
or playcrs, who we're present, donned
uniforms and with Smith battled the
Legion Ave, but went down to 80 to
Is defeat The veterans had little
trouble in piling up the tallies or IN
holding the pickups.
However, the fans learned that the
Barre Legion has one speedy fiye
which, little sung or lauded, promises
to bring basketball honors to Barre
from an angle heretofore entirely nm
expected. The veterans showed re-
markablc team work considering the
fact that they have little actual prac-
tice together and the pickups were
kept guessing most of the evening
Mike Cerasoli. the diminutive over
seas man, was flash and simply
couldn't be held or even stopped. He
playcd rings around every man who
attempted to hindf% him and the score
was fattened just Is points by his
work. Mike simply dropped them in
at will. He was given close run Tor
first honcrs, however, by Wilson, who
was almost as fast.
Cerasoh and Wilson played a passing
combination several times that was
an education. Wilson had 10 tallies
after his name when the scrap fin
ished. Which wasn't so bad for enc
nights work. The pickups soon found
that Cerasol to Wilson or vice versa

played center, also helped materially
with the scoring, adding nine points to

For the pickups. Steve Slayton,
the Spaulding varsity captain, caused
the most damage. Steve scored nine
points for bis five and otherwise played
his customary whirlwind game. How
ever, the pickups couldn't do much
passing because Of lack of practice to-
gether and that was one of the main
factors ir their defeat.
The game was played in three pc
RODS, 10, 10 and another Is. The

as Their Husbands.
Though Sandakan is the largest
town in Britich North Borneo, with a
population Of perhaps $4,000. It has
barely 100 European inhabitants, OF
whom only a dozen are women.
The sacrifices Of the women who, in
order to be near their husbands con-
sent to sicken and fade and grow old
before their time in such spot are
very great. With their children at
school In England, they pass their
lonely lives in -thatchcd bunga-
lows, raised high above the ground on
stills as protection against insects,
snakes and floods, with no amuse-
ments, save such a. they can provide
themselves, and IN climate so hot
that IL IL possible to venture out Of
doors with any degree Of comfort only
in the early morning or after night
fall.
They are as truly empire builders
~ the men, and though they play less
conspicuous roles, perhaps, they are
no less deserving of honors and re-
wards.
Because existence in Sandakan is made
almost uncomfortable by mosquitoes
and other insects, within every sleep
ing room il contracted rectangular
frame work covered with mosquito
netting and just large enough to con-
tain bed, dressing table and q
chair. In these ect-proof compart-
ments the Europeans spend all Of their
sleeping and many Of their waking
hours.
So aggressive are the mosquitoes at
certain seasons Of the year that when
one gives dinner of invites friends In
for bridge. the servants hand to the
guests ding sacks Of mosquito net
ting which they draw over their feet
and legs. tying the top Of the sack
about the waist.
The open space beneath the house il
usually allotted to chickens and other
domestic animals. custom which fires
quently results in attracting pythons
and other varieties Of reptiles with
which Borneo abounds. As might be
expected under such conditions, the
Chinese bartenders at the club are
kept busy until far into the night,
while about once month the entire
white masculine population goes on
terrific spree. Considering the great
distance they are brought, wines and
liquors are surprisingly cheap In Bor-
neo. and nearly every man whom |
met was insistent that should try
some special concoction, which he
claimed to have invented and Of which
he was Unfortunately proud--E. Alex

day, and it begins to look as if we are
going to have a good market for our
industrial products. In that case, we
will be giving the big glad hand to the
fellows who are now on their way to
help us build our cooperative city.
Yes, we will soon start the job. Where
people consider the planning of a city
that is to be built for the use of It's
builders, in which all modern conven-
fences are to be installed; a city in
which sanitation, beauty, convenience,
and all the desirable things for health,
harmony, and happiness are to be TAX
en- into consideration; it takes much
thought and planning before you feel
like driving the first stake. But soon
we will start and when we do, we will
not stop until we have provided fit
ting homes for all our people, suitable
structures for our industries, adequate
and proper school buildings, and - we
hope = home for orphan children,
and another for aged comrades who
would like to live their last years
among people who are creating the
life they have long worked for. Now,
comrades, what part do you wish to
take in this big undertaking? If you
are brick mason and unemployment
has got you idle, why don't you come
and help us build a home for yourself
and family where unemployment will
never be known. Do you not realize
what this will mean to yourself and our
cause2 Workers have built and so
have you, fine homes for others; now
we intend to build them for ourselves.
Why not? You who are expecting
to come to live among us, now is the
time to invest your money in real
home. We own about 5000 acres OF
land and want you to furnish the mon
ey with which to buy the materials
that we cannot produce here. We
have the lumber and brick material
and can furnish the labor. We want
you to take out your membership now

point of present achievement is a pro-

We must begin to study and exper-
iment with human nature just as we
have done with electricity. When we
gain a better understanding Of it and
learn to handle it in the very best pos
sible way for each individuals well
fare and of that of the community as
whole, and the race at large, all the
friction and difficulties in human in
tercourse will be solved and not before.
We must begin to bride our tongues.
Reflect upon the possible effect that a
sharp, unkind word may have upon the
object of our own erroneous snapshot
judgments. Do not unload your viaIs
OF wrath upon someone who does not
need them. Better, turn them loose
upon the desert air, or, better still, do
not distill any within you; it never
does any good, but only does yourself
the greatest kind of harm always.

started so that all human problems
arising in the Colony might be impair
