YOUR LUxURiES.

During the single year 1919 the peo-
pie Of Ohio spent $300,000.000 more for
luxuries than was spent in that state
for education between the years 1887
and 1919, according to comparative
data presented by p. p. Claxton, Uni
ted States commissioner of education.
Startling figures!-and, doubtless
Florida will show a similar disparity
between expenditures for education
and luxury.
But In SO far as the increasing de-
mand for luxury represents the desire
of the common man to live a broader
and more comfortable life. there can be
no quarrel with luxury, least Of all
among educators. Indeed, education
would fail Of its purpose II it did not
create in men desire for other than
the bare necessities of existence.
And what are luxuries? Fifteen years
ago vacuum cleaners and electric irons
were luxuries in Pensacola. These
things have become necessities because
the housewife has been educated to
know that she Is not the eternal bond
maid OF the ironing board and the
broom.
Twenty years ago the carriage was
the q luxury Of the rich. Today the
workman motoring over country roads
with his family Is common sight. The
automobile has opened up new expert
ences for the average man. Is the auto,
strictly speaking. a luxury?
The advance OF civilization is
marked by a wider distribution and
Of the things that we
call luxuries when they are enjoyed
only by favored few. What Is need
ed is not less luxury but still wider
OF its benefits.

EAST SIDE CAGE
TITLE AT STAKE

Basketball fans are awaiting the
referees whistle that will open hos
tilities in the championship games
between Parkside and Penn-Del for
the East side title. which starts to-
morrow night at the Peoples Set
tlement gym.
The series OF three games promises
TO be a fitting climax OF one of the
greatest basketball seasons that VIII
mington has ever enjoyed. The nu-
merous reports stating that these
teams would not meet have been
proven erroneous.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Parkside defeated Manager Wolfe's
aggregation of cake artists in their
last encounter, the Penn-Del man
agement and supporters are conf
dent of reversing the result. When
interviewed by a representative OF
this paper last night Manager Daw-
son when informed OF the alb e
statement stated that the Black and
White would prove beyond the least
doubt their superiority over the for
mer cohorts of Buckley Conley.

On his old mandolin.
His buddy who can play a tune
While eating bread and hash,
Is mistaken Tor a chicken
For his name is Biddie Rash.
And the little banjo picker
Is right there on picking bones,
But he can't be very good because
They call him Onery Holmes
There's one who plays a 'molin
And never wears a hat
His last cognomen's Autumn.
But the boys all call him Rat.
The leader plays the Jews harp.
And keeps the boys from startin'

And he has a lot Of pull,

Kilbane, lis to hike to the noun

''Then when I come down from

Never mind Morris, here is another

two straight without excessive effect
but a 224 tally by Doelze in the
third turned the tide. the latter tax

Bergan couldn't seem to get the

that Doelze got over the foul line
unnoticed by the official referee.
spike Davis supplied the other
upset Of the evening by taking three
straight from Mitchell. the newcomer

For two months previous to his

Take a boy in the ring fighting

fair fighting. And yet it may weak

may lose points which he had pre-
viously piled up because Of being
thus weakened.
1T isn't right, because # doesn't

And the clever boy is the one who
always gets butted.
Il still hold that boxing should be
