HONOR UNKNOWN DEAD.
Continued from Page ~

c,atter of hoOfs and the grind of gun car
riage wheels on the great plaza before
the capitol told that the last parade for
the dead was forming. Up past the gray
mass of the building, under trees where
only a yellOWed leaf here and there lin
gered, the kahki tide of a funeral escort
for q general of the army rolled to its
place.
From $50 a, m. until far past noon
the distant booming wrote the story of
the minutes with but one halt. as the ma
ton stood silent for two minutes just
latter midday in honor Of the dead.

has been made By that institution to go
to Lyndonvile; that is, no offer in dollars

trip. 1t seems that Coach OBrien in his
self-appointed role of football dictator of

claims and play the eastern side team
for the championship, automatically elm

game of squeeze out BrattiebOrO knows
how well it has been worked before, or
at least attempted.
As for comparative scores. if they tell
ANYTHING, they show st Adams has had
the better of the argument every time a
team of any considerable calibre has been
met st. Adams weakened her own
chances on the comparative score basis,
by battcrng Burlington high badly on
Tuesday when Burlington had a game
with the Scale City team on Friday.
With the exception of Plattsburg. the re-
iuvenated Edmunds high aggregation was
by far the hardest opponent st. Adams
had to meet The score hardly tells of
the fine football packed into the As min
utes of playing.
In every instance where st. Adams has
run up a large score second string men
have replaced the first team as early as
the third and sometimes the second period,
and in the Montpelier seminary and New
port games third team men were used
during the fourth quarter.

Says Mayor Peters in Adj

Boston, Feb. Fear that New Eng

should be consolidated with any line
west of the Hudson, was expressed by
Mayor Peters in his address to the
city council to-day He warned that
management of affairs would pass
from local control in event of such a
merger.
The principal cause of the increase in
the tax rate to $24.l0 the highest in
the history of the city, was the adj
vance in costs of schools, he said. This
was due largely to salary raises given
to teachers.
In commenting on unemployment

public construction be pushed to fur
nish work for the jobless. He recon-
mended waving of the requirement
that women voters furnish personal
description including weight and height,
thus obyiating the necessity for those
whose names are on the voting list to
re register.

SHORT ROAD TO SEA
MUST BE SECURED
If the Country is Not to be Marooned,
Declares Charles p.
Craig.

Madison. Wis, Feb. 7.--1f this coun-
try is not to be marooned, 1t must nave
the short road to the sea, the way OF
the st. Lawrence, Charles y. Craig,
executive director, Great Lakes st.
Lawrence Tidewater ASSOCIATION, toid
the delegates to the marketing confer
ence here to-day.
"Six months ago, the railroads were
staggering under load they could not
move, third of last years wheat
crop was trying to get to market,
said Mr.. Craig. 1--WE have recovered
from the worst of that situation, but
during that period we learned where
the weak points were, and something
about the limits of capacity.
1--WE know that one of the principal
difficulties is in the terminal facilities
of the Atlantic ports. There must De
increased port facilities. In the port
of New York, in order to provide tacii-
tiles to take care of the present volume
Of business, the authorities estimate
that at least two hundred million dol
lars must be spent. Probably half
that sum would create, and equip at
least six of the chief lake ports. and
when the st. Lawrence is open, we VIII
get a larger increase of terminal ca
pacitv. for less money, by developing
lake ports, than we possibly can be
confining ourselves to the seaboard
But what will the railroads do when
the next advance in production comes z"
There is no more shack in the sys-
tenn. no reserve capacity. We must
wait till the railroads can expand.
Actually, we can get the st. Law
renee open, and the lake ports running
in less time and at less cost, than the
mort OF New York alone can rebuild
and newly equip it's terminal system
"The delivery of farm products from
the far west has been pretty well dis
couraged. 1t doesn't pay to ship long
distance The rate advance is reduc-
ing the railroad system to hauling
commodities from twenty-five miles,
say UP TO five hundred miles, with an
extreme range of about thousand
miles. IF you have to 60 more than
thousand miles by rail, unless your
product is highly concentrated, look
out.
LET me remind you that nowhere
else in the world is there an attempt
to carry on extensive production Smore
than thousand miles from the wa
ter base. If this country is not to be
marooned, we must have the short

BASKETBALL INVENTOR
GETS AN HONOR
DR.. James A. Naismith of University
of Kansas Made a Member OF
Rules Committee.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. THE honor
paid to DR.. James A. Naismith by the
National Intercollegiate Athletic Asso-
citation of America-life membership on
the basketball rules committee-cones
to him thirty years after he invented
the game of basketball DR.. Naismith
is head of the department of physical
education at the University of Kansas.
Basketball was the result of de-
lberate attempt to evolve a game suit
able for men to play indoors. In 1891,
DR.. Naismith was in charge of gym
nasium class at the Springfield, Mass,
Y. NJ. C. A., then an instructor college
for athletes and association men. The
men enrolled in the class were foot
ball, baseball and track athletes and
became weary of the inside work, con.
sisting of boxing, wrestling and swim
ming.
At a meeting of the Y. NJ. c. A..
instructors, someone suggested that in
| vention Is merely the use Of things at
hand Dr. Naismith remarked that in
yention of new game was possible.
| He concentrated for weeks on this
| idea.
| Football lacrosse, hockey, soccer and
other games, the doctor concluded, were
too rough to be played indoors He
| decided to work out his new game with
rugby as basis, eliminating the fea
lures which made il extremely rough.
Tackling and kicking he found on an
alysis, were at the root Of The evil.
| He eliminated tackling by allowing the
| PLAYER TO run when he does not have
the ball; and by having the ball passed
with hands only. he did away with
kicking.
! When the question of goals came up,
DR. Naismth decided he NUT have
receptacles in which TO throw the ball.
This idea was borrowed from the old
| game of "duck on the rock The up
right type OF goal obviously could not
be used nor any goal which would al
/ low the game to become strenuous by
permitting excessive force in scoring.
The superintendent of grounds was
| asked to furnish two boxes, eighteen
inches square But these were not
available lust then and two peach
baskets were offered DR., Naismjth
took these and hung one at each end
Of the court, using the gallery for
support Since the height Of the gal.
! lery happened to be ten feet, that 4
the present height Of the goal.
Lacrosse furnished the plan for ar
ranging the men on the court The in
ventor decided to have the game start
ed by throwing up the ball and hav'
| ing one man from each side Jump M
at t. The team consisted Of nine men
at first The number was reduced to
seven and later to FIVE, as the skill OF
the men developed.
DIR. Naismith was born in Canada. He
is a graduate of McGill university and
also of the Gross Medical school. He
came TO the University of Kansas as
associate professor of physical eduea'
ton in 1898. becoming full professor
in 1905. During the war he served
with the Y. VI. c. A. in France as d.
rector of social hygiene for the Amer
lean expeditionary forces.

eight apiece. Foster Slayton, spauid-

hard blow to the high school to be
