A Thought For the New Year

The new days, the new days,
Of them we love to sing,
The new days with the fancies
And the golden dreams they bring.
The old days had their pleasures,
But likewise have the new,
The gardens have their roses and
The meadows bright with dew,
We love today the selfsame way
They loved in days of old,
The world is bathed in beauty
And it isn't growing cold;
There's joy for us a-plenty,
There are tasks for us to do,
And life is worth the living for
The friends we know are true.

U. S.-GENOA PACT FADES.
Conference Probably TO Be Sponsored
by League of Nations.

Washington, Feb 21-The dim
prospects of the United States active
ly participating in the Genoa confer
ence became still DINNER today upon
receipt of informal advices from Paris
and LONDON that France and Great
Britain look with favor upon a con-
ference sponsored by the league of
nations.
There was a tendency in admins
tration quarters to regard the ques-
lions as tentative. even tho they ap-
parently emaEated from high official
sources. 1t was made clear, however,
that if the allied premiers are not
"bIuffing'' and really intend to stage
a conference under league auspices,
the Harding administration will have
nothing to do with it.

AT THE GRAND

Blood curdling mystery, tension, ac-
ton, laughs and thrills came thick
and fast as The Bat progresses
toward one of the most surprising
climaxes that has been seen on local
stage. It was not the actingEtho
the pcast was capable in all depart
ments... 1t was not the scenery-tho
the two sets used were perfect in
their realism and detail. 1t was the
story, a story as filled with punches
as any movie thriller and as replete
with complicating situations as the
most weird detective novel ever put
out in yellow or any other kiHd OF
backs.
1t would be unfair to tell the climax.
which after all was the biggest punch
of the play. Not knowing it adds to
ones interest. One prominent Topeka
attorney in last nights audience had
bets with his neighbors on the out
come of the tangle-there may have
been more, but Hugh was the most
persistent. He had several solutions
all OF which would have fitted but he
lost every wager. If there was one
person in the packed house who knew
the solution of the mystery before the
last curtain dropped, it was one who
had seen the play before.
There was not one drag in the pro-
gress of the story It was snap, snap,
snap from start to finish. Even when
there were no words being spoken
and there were several periods of this
nature-the action and perfect stage
management, kept the audience in
fever heat of expectation and anxiety.
The plot would apparently smooth
out, tangle, Straighten and unraNel all
within breath. It was not until the
average person was on his way home
and in bed that he was able to ac-
curately fit together all the pieces of
the puzzle so that the story and it's
cO1lT riY- Ia dov- n
able.
When Harry Lauder was here, he
declared that 1.-The Bat was the
greatest thing he had seen on the
stage in the way of drama. He in
sisted that it was the story of the piece
not the acting and that any ten per-
sons in the world could learn the parts
and hold an audience gripped in its
seats. Harry may be right, but THE
Bat" will never be the same to one
person in this community If played the
second time, no matter what cast does
it. 1t may be that some one else other
than Frank G. Bond will be able to do
the part of the suspected doctor as
well or better, but so well did he do it
that his portrayal will always be the
standard. Likewise with the char
acter of Lizzie, the comedy maid who
furnished the real laughs for the eve
ming. Clara Coleman is to be con-
graduated on her art and her ability
to make the very most of p really fat
part. One could go on and say some
thing of like nature of each member
of the cast, but what's the use. The
only adverse criticism that could be
offered would be on the part of Miss
Ogden" the girl. It seemed as if
Valerie Valerie Overacted bit in that
portion of the story, but that is all.
Yes, Topekans like the best the road
companies have to offer. In addition
to the packed house last night,
crowded matinee and a packed night
performance again today for 1.-THE
Bat is not only certain but earned.

BASKETBALL NOTES
BY HAROLD HENDERSON.

Girls invitation tournaments will
not be encouraged by the Kansas state
high school board of athletic control"
says r. r. Cook, president Baker
university and, the Kansas State Nor
NAL school are planning to hold girls
invitation tournaments in connection
with the boys district preliminary
tournaments on March 10 and IL. AL
tho the consensus of opinion of high
! school officials is that it is too late
be placed on them next season.
The west central Kansas high school
championship now appears to have
narrowed down to two teams, Cove
City and Quinter high schools. Both
teams have defeated the strong Wa
keeney aggregation, which recently
defeated Hays City by d score of 33
to 10. Quinter recently defeated the
fast Grainfield five by a scorc of 3S
to %. Quinter also has a number of
good individual players. Wigington,
Quinter center, has probably scored
more field baskets than any high
school player in Kansas. His record
at present is "a. Crissman also plays
a stellar game at guard for Quinter.
The Quinter girls also. defeated Grain
field by score of 80 to H.
The Kirwin high school quintet dis
putes Goodland's claim for the cham
pionShlp of northwestern Kansas.
Kirwin not only makes the claim but
has challenged any northwestern Kan
sas five to a game. The team has
won nine games and received no de-
feats. 1t has doubled the score on it's
opponents in each game.
Goodland high school defeated the
Selden quintet by a score of SO to 16
in a fast game Friday night on the
/ Goodland court.
In case Kirwin and Goodland wish
to settle the championship dispute
they should both enter the district
preliminary tournament which willtbe
| held at Phillipsburg March 10 and II.
| The dispute could be decided in this
manner without much difficulty.
Solomon high school defeated Dick
| inson county high school of Abilene
| by a score of 81 to 1 0 in a game played
| Saturday night at Solomon. The Solo
mon supporters are now confident that
! Salina in the Salina district tourna-
ment.
Newton retained its lead in the Ar
kansas Valley league last week by de-
| feating Nick erson by a score of 81 to
| 25 in a game played on the Nick erson
court Friday night. However, the
Wichita, quintet which is only a half
game behind Newton, was not asleep
| by a score of AZ to IL in a game
played Saturday nightNon the Wichita
court Hutchinson defeated Kingman
| by a score of 81 to 10 in a game
played on the Hutchinson court.
