this application for vocational train

Which Would Nullify Big Fleet

military technicians cease their ef-
forts.
Their attitude is this: whether

Hence experiments in the deadliest

There is special concern In this coun-
try because aerial chemical warfare
would nullify the Importance of the

Britain's chief defense. Technical
opinion here is that military strategy

 Dobys Harrell. an Avondale for ward, is thought by many to be one of the best basketball players in the city. He Is splendid shot, and runs the floor in splendid fashion. He always accounts for many points for his team.

Coach Meyers team of youngsters will again appear before Birming- ham fans tonight at o'clock on the B. A. C. court against the fast five from Mortimer Jordan High school of Morris.
 This game should be a good one from all advance dope. The dope is very much scrambled as to who the winner will be owing to the rather close scores that the Crimsons have been held to in their first two bat ties of the year.

record, and it probably ain't million years. I have put old Sike 0. Analysis to work on this problem and have doped it out that nobody will ever run Me thuse even close second. And, at that l ain't overlooking the monkey glands and monkey busi- ness that science has gave us. My theory is that if monkey glands would really prolong a fellers life that monkeys would live for couple of eternities. for they have already got the glands orig inally. If a monkey cant live forever with glands of his own. how in the Helen Tom Walker is science going to degland a mon- key, and graft 'em on to man and stir up fuss with the undertakers' union? Therefore, l feel safe in saying that nobody will ever smash the mark held by Methuselah. It must of seemed longer than 1t really was to him, for they was no dances. or no bridge parties, or no domestic hootch to brighten feller's hours in them days when Methuse was in the pulse-beat business.
 still Other Records
 The most worthless record I know of is the Congressional Record. In spite of the fact of it's uselessness, however, Con gross kept right on printing 1t when white paper got so scarce and magazines what really had a paid circulation had to suspend business because they couldn't get no paper.
 The quick change record aint held by no actor. As funny as this may seem 1t is the truth The quick change record is held by Henry Ford, Henry can raise more quick change on short mo- tice than any man living. He's the only man living that the gov ernment will allow to stamp sil- yer dollars out of tin and get away with it.
 Those Real Estate Sharks
 The growth record was held by Jacks famous beanstalk, and still is for that matter, if you take that story with a shaker of salt. The stalk, according to the story. just growed right up into the sky with friend Jack clinging to onto it. Personally, I have my doubts about the authenticity Of this record, and it has really never been verified by the A. A. U. In my mind, what really hap pened is that some real estate firm, with as few scruples as the law allows, put out that story originally in pamphlet form, to try to impress prospective buyers of the super-fertility of the soil in that vicinity.
 In closing, I'll say that Hez Tuggle holds the setting-down record for all time. Hez holds the undisputed nonstop setting down record. Some folks is born stand patters. but Hez is set ter. He's been setting so long that each syllable he utters sounds like chuck. Much obliged.

MARSHALL'S MEN HOLD 'BAMA FIVE TO CLOSEST GAME
Howard College Takes Lead, But Can't Hold the
 Advantage

University, January 2o.-(special) In the tightest game of the season here tonight. the Howard quintet gave the Crimsons a good scare and held them to the close score of 97 10 2s. in Alabama's favor. The Crimsons got an early lead, but a bunch of long distance beauties by Crews gave the Bulldogs the lead, and for a while it seemed that they were getting the edge on the Crimsons. By hard, de- termined fighting the Crimsons pulled the Howard lead down to two points by the end of the first period.
 During a large part of the second half, the score was kept at a tie but the Crimsons rallied toward the last of the game and by some of the pret- tiest playing ever seen here. scored the winning points.
 Game Veyr Close
 The tenseness of the excitement was kept at the highest pitch through every second of the game, and there was not minute when the outcome was not in doubt, the two squads racing neck and neck for every ad- vantage.
 During the first frame the syste- matic defensive of the Crimsons forced the Bulldogs to resort to long and difficult shots, but they had the man for the job in the person of Crews, who displayed uncanny ac- curacy a ringing the long ones. The splendid teamwork of the Crimsons was feature of the game and the accurate passing helped to save the day. The Bulldogs played a brilliant game and their floor work was of lightning speed. But the Crmsons held out longer and outplayed them in the last minutes of the game.
 Carter Plays We'll
 For some time the Crimsons did not seem to. be able to locate the basket. and their shots were inaccurate, but they frightened up in the latter part of the game, did beautiful work. Slim Carter played a wonderful game at center with spectacular floor work and accurate shooting, while Gazzola fought throughout the game with re- markable tenacity.. Leak also did good work at guard.
 On the Howard aggregation,s Crews stood out as star at ringing the counters. while the team was well balanced in floor work, it being diff ficult to point out the stars. Lackey was fast as lightning, and Stubbs played a fine game at center, though he was at Carter's mercy on the tip off.
 The game tomorrow between the same teams promises to be one of the greatest clashes of the season
