INTERESTING DEBATE
Won BY c. H. S. SENIORS
AIvah Phillips And Edwin Hirst Get
Decision Over Julia Spedden And
Lee Harvey Nichols Upon Question
OF Movies.

The Junior Glass of the Cambridge
High School having held several sue
! cessful intersection debates wei
coined with much enthusiasm the
| challenge sent by the Senior Glass to
one of the winning teams for de-
bate to be held on Tuesday April IL,
1922.
The subject to be discussed was
Resolved, THAT moving pictures do
more harm than good" This subject
had been debated before in both
classes and each side was well pre-
pared to argue intelligently upon
the subject from every point. The
chairman, Webb Sheehy, introduced
the speakers. The affirmative was
defended by Alvah Phillips and Ed
win Hirst; the negative by Julia
Spedden and Lee Harvey Nichols.
The English class room was crowded
with members from both classes.
Only a part of the Junior and Senior
classes were able to be present as
there is no assembly hall in the Cam
bridge High School and therefore no
room in which two entire classes may
be seated together. After each SIDE
had presented its arguments clearly
and forcibly the decision was given
in favor of the affirmative by the
Judges, Messrs. James B. Noble. H. II.
Ransom and L. G. Marshall.

In the center of the group Mr.. Glib

Mr.. Glbney did o know It, was the

This note, delivered to Captain
Scraggs by the messenger boy, lifted
the gloom from the latter's miserable
soul and sent him home with a light
heart to Mrs. Scraggs. At the Mari
gold cafe next morning he was almost
touched to observe that both Gibney
and McGuffey showed up arrayed In
dungarees, wherefore Scraggs knew his
late enemies purposed proceeding to
the Maggie Immediately after breakfas;
and working in the engine room all
day Sunday. Such action, when he
knew both gentlemen to be the pos
SCISSORS of wealth far beyond the
dreams of avarlce, bordered so close
ly on the miraculous that Scraggs made
u mental resolve to play fair In the
futnre-at least as fair as the limits
Of his cross-grained nature would per-
nit. Tie was so cheerful and happy
that McGuffey, taking advantage Of
the situation. argued him into some
minor repairs to the engine.
About nine o'clock, as Mr.. Chimney

When Captain Scraggs. after aban-
donlng all hope Of salving the bark
Chesapeake, returned to the Maggie,
the little craft reminded him Of moth
ing so much as the ward for the In
corrigible OF IN insane asylum. Due
to Captain Scraggs' stupidity and the
general inefliciency Of the Maggie, the
new navigating officer was of the Opin-
ion that he had been swindled out of
his share Of the salvage, while the new
engineer, furious at having been en-
gagged to baby such u ruin as the Mag
gie's boiler turned out to be, blamed
Scraggs' parsimOny for the loss of his
share Of the salvage. Therefore, both
men aired with the utmost frankness
their opinion Of their employer. One
word borrowed another until diplomat
ic relations were severed and. In the
language OF the classic, they mixed
it." They were fairly well matched,
and, to the credit Of Captain Scraggs

self to have q fighting chance Scraggs
would fight and fight well, under the
TOm-cat rules Of tisticuffs.
Following a bloody battle In the pilot
house, he subdued the mate: following
his victory he was still war mad, 50
he went to the engine hatch and
abused the engineer. AS a result Of
the days events, both men quit when
the Maggie was tieSr up at Jackson
street wharf and once more Captain
Scraggs was helpless. In his extrem.
ity. he wished he hadn't been 81 hard
on Mr.. Gibney and McGuffey. for he
realized he could neve hope to get
them back until their salvage money
should be spent.

The ship lay In the wind, shivering.
Mr.. Glbney was here. there. every.

along the deck with a leading line, the
next he was laying out aloft. He Or
dered himself to do q thing and then,
with the pent-up energy Of q thousand

he lay out along the yards and sprang
from place to place with the old exul-
tant thrill Of youth and Joy In his
work. A word, a gesture, from Mr..

on u rope like a bulldog. With the
fore-royai set, Mr.. Glbney ran back to
the wheel and put It hard over. There
being no after sail set the bark swung
Off readily on to her course, slipping

She drew the full advantage Of the

her yards squared, ON the last Of the

As they passed Lime point, Mr.. Glib
ney prepared to shorten sail and like
a clarion blast his voice rang through
the ship.
"Caew up them royals" He dashed
the wheel and they brought the clew-
lines again to the winch head. The
ship was falling off a little before
the fore-royal was clewed up. SO Mr..

Mr.. Chisholm and Mr.. Petriken
were in Washington for a few days
during the past few weeks. They did
not make clear the purpose of their
visit. but it is believed that they in
terviewed persons well acquainted
with the physical and mental condi-
tion Of DR.. Bryson after the war.
His mother declared that his con-
dition upon his return from France
and the Argonne bore visual testi-
mony of sickness in body and mind.
Gave Over Career.
He had such brilliant career and
future for himself before the war
came and he responded to the call of
duty" she said. The boys who serv-
ed with him know how we'll he did
his duty and it is his mother who
knows how he gave over his career
in order that his country might not
have called for him in vain.'
Sentiment here does not seem
strong against DR.. Bryson. His con-
dition, in gossip. is always taken
into consideration and the causes 1or
it have created much sympathy in
this community for the predicam ent
in which he is now entangled.
The defense of DR.. Bryson will prob
ably be centered upon the status of
his condition OF shell shock received
in the war area.

HARD:C0AL MINERS
MEET OPERATORS
Debate Strike Settlement
With Secretary Fall at
Latter'S Office.

In the hope that an agreement
might be reached in the anthracite
industry. which would lead to negoti-
ations looking toward a settlement
of the strike in the bituminous coal
industry. a small committee of miners
and operators representing the hard
coal branch met this afternoon with
Secretary Fall at the Interior De-
partment. The meeting was originally
to have been held this morning, but
postponement was asked by the
committee. Another general meet
ing of the entire group of operators
and miners representing both branch
es of the coal industry will be held
next Monday, when it is believed
President Harding will again address
the conference.
Secretary Fall said before the con-
ference that he had no proposal to
make to the conferees. adding that
sentative of the government to listen
to the discussions.
Indications today were that mem
bers of the anthracite group are as
far apart as are the conferees rep
resenting the bituminous industry.
but the hope was expressed unoffi-
cially that when the period of speech
making and bluff is ended they may
get together on some proposal COM
ing from the committee. Anthracite
operators >were represented at the
conference by S. D. Warriner, w. D.
Richards, William NJ. Connell and E
w. Parker. The miners were repre-
sented by Phillip Murray, vice presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers. and
District Presidents William Brennan,
Christopher Golden and Thomas Ken
nedy.

tically exactly as it was Monday when

be expected. as it is merely ques-
ton of dilution. But the sewage fac
tor has become greater of late. pos
sibly due to the attachment of the
Woodmont main to the stream. with
the result that large quantities OF
sewage are now flowing into the park.
It is not considered safe to introduce
more chlorine into the stream than we
have been maintaining up to now.
1t is recommended in view of the
above that bathing in the waters OF
Rock Creek Park be prohibited until
such time as it is found that 1t MAY
be resumed with safety. The children
who bathe there are at very
susceptible age for water-borne dis
ease, and they are continually get
ting water into their mouths with
their. 'duckings' and the habit they
have of drawing a mouthful OF water
and spraying it around.
Il have been in conference with
number of sanitation authorities on
this subject. and they all advise that
the above course is the only safe one
to now recommend. 1t is thought that
the parents of the children will
readily see that it is their interests
that we are protecting, rather than a
curtailment of the children's pleasure.
1t should be no hardship for the chill
dren, as they can have a good time
at the tidal basin, where the water
is safe and where no charge is made
for children under sixteen years."

nothing and live forever. So might
be epitomized a theory of Arthur
Dougherty Rees, lecturer and
biologist. who addressed the
Rotary Club. Man can live for
ever" he said. fThe accepted
duration of three-score years and
ten is without foundation. except
mans willingness to accept 1t.
And the elimination of death is
not dependent on monkey glands.
or unusual surgical operations.
Death is matter of psy-
chology and mentality. Death is
simply a fear carried into effect.
We are told that we will probably
die when we attain an age of
somewhere between fifty and
seventy years. We believe this and
look forward all our lives to dying
at that age. AS we think so we
are. To live forever we must
conquer the tendencies that de-
stroy life
