RAG PICKER is
DESCENDENT OF
GREAT EMPEROR

-
Paris, Jan, 19.-vOne of the rag
and bone pickers Of Paris has Just
made known his belief that he may
be a descendant of the great EN-
peror Napoleon I, His name is
Louis Napoleon Eugene Maximilen
Laurent Mason. He Is called ma
poleon" and gives as the reason for
his use OF that name the follow
ing explanations:
"My father was q shoe cobbler
and secondhand dealer who used
to rescue dogs and cats bodies
from the Seine to sell for making
grease. My mother was a travel"
ing member of pots and pans.
MY mothers mother was Rosa
lie de Maudel, OF Spanish origin
and noble. Her husband, my
grandfather, named Firmin. was
from Ireland. They kept an inn at
Clethy, in the department OF Pas
de Calais, where coaches changed
horses.
"One evening the emperor ar
rived at Clethy and my grandmoth-
er warned him to go no further
as there were English soldiers
about, My grandfather fled and
hid in a rayine. My grandmother
| hid Napoleon in the lower part OF
our two storied cellar until he
could leave in safety. When my
mother was born; my grandfather
always refused to recognize her as
his child, declaring that Napoleon
was her father.
you viii find a reference To Ma
peoleon's stay In Clethy in Mar
shall Betrand's Memoirs with some
thing about the child that resulted
from 1t.
THAT'S why I am better known
as Napoleon, and with reason"

JOAN TAKES A STUDIO IN
THE VILLAGE.
CHAPTER 70.

CHAPTER 70.
1t was typical of Craig Forester
that he had ignored what Margaret
had said as to Joan's scoring, that
his turn must wait. He realized
the tumult of mind the woman he
loved was in. He would do nothing
to add to it. If at times Margaret
misunderstood. wondered why he
accepted her decision SO calmly she
gave no sign.
She had visited Greenwich VII
lage with Joan and inspected the
studio, one high up in the building
and reached only by climbing
many stairs. But the view was de-
lightful. The place was fairly
clean, and could easily be made at
tractive. SO Margaret In no way
dampened Joan's enthusiasm, but
insisted she be allowed to help her
fix up the place.
''I won't have lot of gimcracks
around" Joan declared.
''All right. dear. no gimcracks is
the order"
Margaret really enjoyed herself
for the next few days. She and
Joan seemed to be nearer to each
other, to have overcome that feel
ing of separation, of strangeness
which had inhibited them both
when together. 1t was not until
Margaret met Dean Tenant on
the stairs that she felt anxious over
Joan's move.
Hello, Dean! You remember
my mother?" Joan asked.
Certainly" he extended not
too clean hand.
Ocean has the studio opposite
mine" Joan mentioned.
A sick feeling assailed Margaret.
Would her Joan, her darling
daughter become intrigued with a
man of Tenants type? 1t was al
most unbelievable. Yet no one
knew Joan's headstrong nature as
did Margaret. If she decided she
wanted Tenant she would have
him. No one could prevent 1t.
II must be clever with her as I
was when she was child" Mar
garet said to herself. / must not
antagonize her" Tenant she
thought of not at all. He simply
intrigued Joan by his rather COM
mon good looks and his preten-
lions. She was not yet old enough,
nor experienced enough to tell the
real from the dross.
When she left Joan that after
noon she stopped at Janet Walters
instead Of going directly home.
"Janet, you have got to help
me-" she said.
"Of course, but how" "A
when does Ted come home?"
''In a few days. and ! shall be so
glad. He is such a manly fellow,
Margaret, so absolutely the gentle
man under all his nonsense, so to
be trusted. I am very fortunate. l
was afraid he might need a strong
err hand than mine as he grew up.

keeper friend of mine who is the
most cheerful woman 1 know.
"I'ye come for a recipe of
yours" l announced to her as l
sank into one of her great comfy
chairs, II want your recipe for
cheerfulness"
She laughed modestly and de-
clared that she wasn't any more
cheerful than anybody else. But
she is; in the past three years she
has lost Mother and Sister and she
would now be entirely alone in the
world IL she had not adopted lit
tie girl recently.

ways managed to hold tight to
your cheerfulness, even in the face
of trouble" l begged, "for l know
my column-readers would like to
have me tell them about 1t. 1t
might help some of them. You
know, we housekeepers have too
much time to think, anyway be-
cause we do so much of our work
alone-and often our thoughts are
not cheerful ones"
So she smiled and told me. II

school days my parents were not

always plunge into doing something
that held my interest. For in

crocheting something, or get all
wrapped up embroidering some

Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1922-02-02

The Southern intercollegiate Ath-
lctic Association has agreed that in
future a boy must spend at least one
year in college before being permitted
to play on intercollegiate games, and
that a boy who once represents a col
lege in a college athletic contest can
never again play on a team with any
other college.
The object Of this agreement is to
keep professionalism out Of college
athletics. By this agreement the col
Ieges say they do not want students
Who come to college solely or mainly
to play football or. baseball, and that
they do not want an athletic student
Co come from another college solely
with the hope Of greater pay or re-
nown from athletics.
This was such q sensible step to
AXE that one wonders why it was not
taken before
Nobody objects to college athletics,
within reason But when athletics
becomes the main thing with college
students or faculties or alumni as
sociatiors, it is time to call a halt.

HIGH SCHOOL IS
BADLY C0NCEsTED
NECESSARY TO SEAT THIRTY
TWO STUDENTS IN THE
BALCONY.

The Alma High school building is
crowded almost beyond capacity
for the admission Of about forty
five students from the Washington
school has brought about very seri-
Gus situation in the school. The as
sembly room, with a capacity limit
If 800 is entirely filled and it has
become necessary to seat thirty-two
Of the newcomers in the balcony Of
the ROOM.
Not only is the auditorium over
crowded, but the number Of recitation
rooms falls alarmingly short of ac-
commodating the students. With a
teaching staff of about twenty in
structors the school has only fourteen
recitation halls, including the labora-
tories, which arc not intended for the
conducting Of classes. II is almost
necessary that every teacher have a
separate room. Consequently classes
are overcrowdcd and the number Of
rooms is insufficient.
On Tuesday there were 1913 in at
tendance i'm the school Aside from
these there were seven special stud
cats enrolled The total enrolment
for the year is $50 students. a remedy
for these conditions must be worked
out, for within the next few years the
present building will be crowded be-
ylnd ell possible capacity.

j. OF D. FALLS
BEFORE ALMAITE:s
BIG REV ERSAL IN FORM AFTER
YPSI DEFEAT FRIDAY BRINGS
4 VICTORY.

After being defeated by Michigan
State Normal in a Michigan lntercoll-
cgiate game Friday night in which
much ranging took place among the
Alma players, the Maroon and Cream
aggregation came back Saturday
night and soundly thrashed the Uni
vcrsity of Detroit to the tune Of %
to l6. Friday night Ypsilanti won
- to rs.
One who saw the team perform
Saturday night would not have known
it for the team that met Ypsilanti on
the previous night, so fine was the
teamwork that the quintet displayed
in defeating the University five.
Alma took the lead against the
University Of Detroit at the start Of
the contest and not until Alma had
nailed twelve points could the Detroit
ers penetrate the Alma defense for a
field basket. The way the team was
going at that time made 1t certain
that Alma would be a winner, the
only question being the size of the
score that the fighting Alma machine
would roll up.
In every department of the game
Alma outplayed the University of De-
troit aggregation in the fray which
was rough one, Referee Odds getting
the teams mixed to some extent The
entire team played as a single unit in
the contest and is TO be highly COM
mended for the work that was shown
in this contest.
Against Ypsilanti considerable rag
chewing married the play Of the Alma
team, and were it not for the work
that was shown on Saturday night
one would have thought that the men
were sadly out of condition, as the
play Of the Maroon and Cream
against team weaker than the 4. Of
b. was surprising for what it didn' t
show.
At the end Of the first half Alma
was trailing Is to ., and even then
the Almaites had plenty Of oppor-
tunity TO step out and win had the
team pulled itself together. Before
the half was very well under way
Shaver started to pull few scoring
stunts, and after mailing two field
baskets in a row was sent from the
fray on personal fouls Wright re-
placed him.
Alma's basket ball team, now seem
ngly, has its back to the wall as far
as any hope Of winning the Michigan
intercollegiate basket ball title is
concerned. Alma cannot lose a single
game from now on and win the
championship. This only can mean
that the team must continue to de-
velop the team play improvement that
it has been showing and that the en-
tire squad must be in perfect con
dition for every game during the
balance Of the season, if it is to give
to Alma College its ve. best efforts
to the attempi to pull down Kalama-
700 College, which seemingly is right
now the strongest Of the association
fivcs.

BIZ Flint Fire

The Alma High school basket
ball team, playing far below its
usual standard. was swamped last
Thursday evening by the fast Flint
High five by score of 81 to s. the
locals being out classed by the Wis
itors in every department OF the
game.
Flint took the lead at the start Of
the contest and there was never q
chance for the Orange and Black
quintet to head the visitors. The
visiting aggregation was the best
nigh school team that has played on
he local floor in years, displaying
tine basket shooting, clever floor
work, fine passing, and defense
which Alma could not solve during
the entire fray.
Early in the second half Elias was
forced from the game with four
personal fouls, and his loss broke
up the teamwork Of the Alma clan
80 great extent and after he was
sent from the game Flint found
things easier than they had been.
Ike Sartor was the only man who
seemed to be playing up to his usual
standard. The Alma guards were
continually Icing sucked in, and the
Flint forwards and center, with their
speed. had an easy time in going
around them and mailing baskets.
Ferguson, center on the visiting
,cam, was the big star Of the gray,
the big lad securing 10 Of his teams
