In the spirit of the prayer offered
before the game, the Virginia lads
play clean, hard football. There Is
no pickering. there 10 no hard or
dirty talk. The eleven plays as one
man. 1t plays to win and to win
fairly.
An example of the sportsmanship
displayed is best pointed out in an
incident in the game. A halfback
reported to the referee. The Virgin
ians had the bali,
AS the halfback took his place be-
side the fullback. he spoke to him.
Perhaps the youngster did not know
the rules. At any rate. u penalty Of
fifteen yards was imposed.
But I wasn't going to tell him
anything about the game" said the
halfback to The referee.
That's all right" said the full.
back. You know you said some
thing, and no matter what II was
you had no right to. And don't do
1t again"
On another occasion the Virgin.
ians worked the ball up to the Ma
rines' 10.yard line. The referee de-
tected illegal use of arms by the
right tackle on the Virginia eleven.
The penalty was imposed.
Hes right" said the tackle. II
pushed him out Of the way. It's
my fault"
There wasn't a zip, not a com
plant, no murmur. The Virginians
settled down, tried for a goal from
placement, which missed, by the
way, and then went about their
business OF playing clean. hard foot
ball.
Sandlot teams Of Washington,
as well rs those from Alexandr'a,
might well take q leaf from the
! Virginia Athletic Club In the
manner Of playing football OF
taking their medicine, and Of
keeping their minds ON the game
and In giving all they have for
the best interests Of the game.
When the players were hurt In
the scrimmage they shook off their
ills with fortitude. The other ten
players were solicitous Of the In.
tured man. They played for each
other for the best teamwork.

THE BEGINNING OF WARFARE

We can understand why men
should have killed animals with
spears or arrows, by why did they
ever begin to quarrel amt ng them
selves and kill one another!
l suppose the only answer to that
question is that they did not know
better.
When did warfare first arise? .
We cannot tell for sure, but 1t
probably happened near tie close OF
the Stone Age. Before that, one
man may have slain another now
and then, but fighting seems not to
have been on wide scale.
Here are three reasons for be-
lieving there weren't any battles
during most of the Stone Age.
1.-Skeletons of people of that
age are usually found one or two
at a time. Seldom are there as
many as five or six in a single place
If there had been real battles, we
should doubtless find large numbers
of skeletons in many places.
2. The bones which have been
found almost never bear marks OF
spears or arrows.
3. Picture on the walls of caves
show men shooting animals, but
never aech other.
In the latter part of the Stone
Age, however, it appears that there
was warfare in Europe. Tribes
from Asia or Africa seem to have
come in and killed or driven off the
people they met.
A struggle for food often leads
to fighting. You know that dogs
fight over bones. In the same way,
bands of hunters may have fought

THE UNSPEAKABLE TURK

The Turks are apparently re-
newing their maSsacrcs OF Chris
tian Arlnenians. The whipsaw-
ing back and forth OF the Euro
pean Powers in their policy to-
wards Turkey, since the ARMS
tice. has given that country an
audacity even more turbulent than
before the War. The reason, and
the only reason. for this shilly-
shaily on the part OF Europe, is a
mythical theory OF balance of pow
er. Whether with or without
reason it is the acme of selhShnesS
and heartleSs indifference. 1t is
now claimed that Great Britain,
France. and Italy have agreed
with Turkey that Armenia shall
remain under the sovereignty OF
the Crescent. This, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the Sevres Treaty
distinctly declared that Turkey
recognized, rs had already been
done by the Niles, the free and
independent state of Armenia.
1t is hardly conceivable that the
Christian nations of Europe could
stand for a return to the butchcry
and slaughter Of the ?rc-war pc
Rod. But such seems to be the
case. The League OF Nations IS
now investigating conditions in
Armenia. and if through its agcn-
cy it shall save that country from
worse than slavery, that one deed
will be an irrciutable argument
for continuation OF its powers.
The condition OF the GTcehN II
reported to be even worse than
that OF the Armenims They
have been massacred, deportcd,
and Lett to die Of starvation and
exposure by thousands, There
are some indications that Europe
is becoming ashamed OF its COW
ardly yaciliation, and that 1t may
reconsider It's recent assent to the
return of Armenia to Turkish rule.
Here i'm America there Is a feel
ing OF bitter Indignation all over
the country. and it is not improb-
able that this will have due weight
with the European Powers.

SHRINE C|RCUSE|VDS
IN BLAZE OF GLORY

The mammoth Shrine circus was
brought to close last night in a
joyous and colorful blaze of glory.
The concluding performance of the
great carnival was attended by the
largest crowd ever gathered together
under one roof in Phoenix.
Even beyond the expectations of
the Shriners themselves, the circus
won successes never before equalled
in this city upon such an occasion.
The most enthusiastic support and
approval was evinced by the citi-
zens of Phoenix and the Salt River
valley. A capacity audience was Sc
cured upon each of the four nights
of the circus duration. The naRny
attractive events on the program af-
forded fun and amusement for young
and old and everyone who witnessed
the spectacle went away feeling that
it was well worth while from every
standpoint.
Nunberless funny stunts staged by
the Shriners made the circus better
than the efforts of the ordinary
travelling show and combined with
this were afforded the opportunity of
playing at the old gambling games
OF the early days. refreshments, music
and dancing.
The circus was also success from
financial standpoint and the only
regret of the Shriners is that they
have not more worlds to conquer
with the laughter producing ballyhoo.

ENTERTA|NS WOMEN
OF CLUB At HOME

Mrs. G. w. p. Hunt entertained the
members of the Madison Improve
ment club last Thursday afternoon at
her home in 2IcDowell road. The
hours were not half long enough for
the visitors to see all the wonderful
things which Mrs. Hunt had collected
during her sojourn in Siam, and her
description of the articles and their
manners of use among the natives
was especially interesting.
Gold and silver plate, curious bowls,
spears and other weapons of defense
used by the Siamese, beside some of
the. most exquisite needlework and
fine linen were brought out for the
inspection and admiration of the
club members.
Al regular sheik's full dress suit
was donned by one of the women,
while Mrs. Hunt explained how it
should be worn. She also explained
that the word 'sheik" was pro-
nounced to rhyme with deck" by the
natives. and not in the way given by
Webster
In addition to Mrs. Hunts talk on
Siamese dress and customs, Miss
Anna Marie Calvert of the. Arizona
School of Music sang a group of
songs, accompanied at the piano by
Mrs. McGinty.
1t was decided at the meeting that
the regular fortnightly dances which
have proved so popular through the
winter should be continued until the
hot weather made them impossible.
A rising vote of thanks was given
Mrs. Hunt at the conclusion of her
program for the entertaining after
noon she had afforded.

it added measurebly to the strength
of the ticket. Since then there have
been reports that other persons were
being considered for the city man
agership. and some reports went so
iar as to state at different times that
an agreement had been reached as to
other candidates.
There are now rumors as to the
selection of persons to fill the minor
offices, but it rs stated definitely that
the new members of the commission
have rot considered such appoint
ments, but that they viii be left
largely, if not wholly. to the city
manager.
Announcement as to the choice of a
city manager has been withheld, is
understood, because of a desire on
the part of the incoming commits
sioners to show a proper degree of
courtesy to the hold-over members so
that no public information will be
given out until after the first meet
ing of the commission under the new
administration.
