This weeks card OF baskethaafs'
games is the best that has been
offered to quad-city fans this osa-e
son. There are three games duffngs
the week that are expected to be-
stiff clashes from start to flntsh.
There are also two games between
quad-city schools this week and
the rating Of the teams will be =
little clearer after these battles.
All the squads with the exception
of East Moline, go into action this
week in full blast. Each Of the
teams plays two hard games with
the exception of the Little Slints,"
who meet Davenport on Wednes-
day. East Moline high takes q rest
this week and does not play again
until Feb. 4. N' or
Test for Islanders. 7ena
On Wednesday. Rock Island and
Moline will be offered a great treat
in both towns. The Islanders take
on Geneseo, a team that has been
defeating all the local squads. This
game will serve to clear up the
title situation as both st. Ambrose
and Davenport high have been de-
feated by Geneseo. This contest
should be one OF the best games
on this weeks schedule. af' 2
In Davenport, the same night,
Davenport high will meet the Lit
tie Saints" in the annual classic
between the schools. The game ID
always hardfought. Both teams
are about equal in strength. Dav.
export was defeated by Geneseo by
four points, and st. Ambrose went
down by five. This will be the first
appearance of the Iowan SCHOOL, in !

Without counting chickens before

By ED HUGHES.

No champion boxer ever attained
a title who wasn't courageous. A
champions courage is Of the unfiag-
ging kind. He has it when he is
winning, and it doesn't forsake him
when things are going badly.
The man who lacks championship
"class" usually ceases to he dan
gerous when he finds himself
beaten. He either takes his knock
out without a struggle, or stretches
himself supinely on the floor and
awaits the toll Of, the welcome
count. The boxer Of championship
mold is dangerous to the end.
Championship Class.
This was the case OF Richie
Mitchell in the recent Leonard fight
Mitchell didn't win the title. but he
proved he was Of championship
timber. He was dangerous to the
end. And he came within an ace OF
winning, at that.

beginning Of the first round, Mitchell

as if the islanders will open the

With the McQuillan brand Of har-

son why the Islanders mentioned

THEY ARE COMING DOWN.

Any matter of such worldwide importance as the
length of a lady's dress skirt and any changes or crit
cisms with reference to it must be reported prompt
ly. Having finally become a convert to the shorter
length, anything endangering it occasions alarm, 50
1t is with some apprehension that we hasten to ap-
prise the fraternity that roll EN- that something has
happened to the dress skirt over in Paris. where the
modes are supplied. Whether the short one has just
slipped down or the arbiters of style have actually
decreed that skirts must be made longer is not posi-
lively disclosed. But this much is observed in Paris.
loose fitting ankle length skirts have become numer-
Gus within the past ten days and it is said these are to
govern fall and winter styles. We don't need to be
told wha. this hideous style will do to bare knees. The
is to that. But, with it all there is still n cheerful
makers have been engaged in shrouding the lower
works they have torn the back out of the upper works
to provide material, so everything will balance nicely
after all. when the creation is finally adjusted TO the
form divine. There is to be no back whatever. The
bodice is so trivial as to be scarcely noticeable. The
ribbons that formerly came up over the shoulders to
give the impression of supporting something have been
abolished entirely. The whole responsibility is now
thrown upon two slender strands of pearls attached
to the bodice in front and crossed in the back and
moored at the waist line, after the fashion of a pair of
homemade suspenders, known as galluses in certain
sections of he country. The pearls are supposed to
provide warmth to the exposed back.
A consignment of the new costumes is on the
way across the sea and il they arrive safely they will
be given q tryout on this side.
In the meantime we are simply sounding the alarm
and reserving approval, still being strong for the pres
emit style which adds all that could be reasonably de-
sired in the way Of scenery.

SEEKING AID IN ENFORCEMENT.

Just what will result from the gathering Of the
county attorneys of Wyoming who assembled at Chey-
enne yesterday at the call of the governor, to look
into the matter of more complete law enforcement in
the state, will not be known until the committee ap-
pointed at yesterdays meeting formulates a report on
conditions and settles upon plans and exports al d
subsequent meeting.
The governor wants cooperation between county
peace officers and state enforcing officers, which to
date has been totally lacking under the new police
bill passed by the last legislature.
The state enforcement commission has made no
splash whatever, and will not for the numerous rea-
sons pointed out repeatedly to the governor when he
insisted upon the laws passage last winter as the cure
all of conditions local officers would be more COM
petent to handle without interference from state ap-
pointees. There will always be the question of author
ity, and an elected officer chosen by the people will not
suffer an appointed officer by the state to come into
his jurisdiction and interfere with his administration
and would be foolish If he did. The elected officer de-
'rives his power and authority direct from the people
the state bureau official is hand-picked by the COVER
nor. That is the difference. Under the circumstances
the local officer will not and cannot work in harmony
with a state official who believes he outranks the To-
cal one, and who will assume credit for whatever of
good may be done.
The local official is placed in a responsible position
and expected to perform specific duties, he has the
right to perform those duties in his own way and to
be judged by results obtained, and in nine cases out
of ten will insist on just such a program.
The governor was told last winter his law was not
practical and would retard rather than aid enforce
ment- 1t has come to pass and he is now seeking aid
to enforce the enforcing law.

READING ALOUD.

Writing upon this subject in the North American
Review, Muriel Harris entertans her readers thus:
What is-really the magic of reading aloud?
"One thing it is not. 1t is not theatrical Actors
rarely read well, because they are too personal. The
reader who endeavors by his expression to interpret
character is intolerable, a bore. For one thing, he is
usurping the function of the author, plagiarizing his
descriptions and explanations. On the other hand,
personal traits in reading-really personal to the per-
son and not to the haracter-sometime can lend in
effable charm. 1t may be the way the hand holds the
book; the way the reader settles himself to read. Per-
haps it is a lace ruffle, a cameo bracelet, a trick of
nervousness in starting. Sometimes it is a humorous
intonation. And the Lord said unto Moses read the
squire, and invariably cleared his throat afer getting
an impetus by accenting the and. Everybody would
have missed that and. There was something solid and
comforting about it. You knew where you were. And
1t was above all entirely personal-unlike the conven-
ion of the Dickens reader, whose regular sentimen-
talities were on a level with the little she-ild' of the
melodrama and soft music and the like. The profess
sional reader is rarely a success just because he has
not the opportunity to convey this personal impress
sion. Voice again counts enormously, but rather in
a negative sense. 1t is the forgetting of the voice that
counts, not its emphasis. And this is perhaps natu-
raj in that the complete merging of the book and the
reader produces a single effect, which would be con-
fused by the existence of a double element. Most
readers gravitate naturally toward the books in which
they are most able thus to merge themselves. While
a man will read Shaw a woman will read Trollope."

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF EXPOSURE.

"other departments have authority for comment
upon feminine wearing apparel" says the Chicago
Tribune, "but this department does not pretend to
have. We do not even know whether women chose
their dresses to please themselves, to please each
other, to make each other jealous, or to please the
men. Some authorities maintain that the last thing o
woman thinks of when selecting a dress is whether
men will find her more attractive in that dress, and
that her real object is to make other women enyious
of her appearance.
BE that as it may, as we used to be allowed to say.
we are half convinced that what women are seeking to
do now, in their various habits, is to knock out 80
per cent of the taboos which were so respected in the
home life of our dear queen
IF a woman finds that she IS expected not to do a
thing simply because she is a woman, her present in
clination is to tell the world that being a woman il
precisely the reason why she will do anything she
pleases. Congress, which is a glutton for good deeds
is hereby dared to pass q public welfare law to COM
pei girls to bob their hair, to wear short skirts or
knickerbockers. ETC., and watch the government of the
United States being knocked into the middle of the
Atlantic. Well be lack in the mid Victorian period
in a minute.
LACK of the franchise in politics did not infuriate
women because they were prevented from voting.
They do not care any more about voting than the ma
jority of the men do, and a fire has to be built under
the average male citizen to get him started toward the
polls in any other but a presidential election. What
the women did object to was being prevented, as wom-
en- and because of their sex, from having a public
chore to do.
IF there were a law compelling women to smoke
cigarettes and drink whisky, they would unanimously
refuse To have anything to do with either. They have
learned that rebellion is sweet. So long as they think
endb ny snorleninB tnelr SkiftS and rol1ng down their
stockings they can cause prosy people to protest, they
will shorten and roll. As soon as they see a taboo they
want to walk up and hit it in the eye. The new free
dom is a wild one.
"The one thing they overlook is that the taboos
make nearly all the sex values. The way of the world
is the way Of the London bus man. Exposure brings
indifference. If the women finally go to the Hotten-
tots for their styles they will drive middle aged club
men to such boredom that they will not look up from
q newspaper to squint out on Michigan avenue at 2
o'clock matinee day. Piquancy is in concealment, moi
exposure, and taboos are a woman's most powerful
friends"
