BASE BALL
HERE FRIDAY
Columbia and Luther Will Clash on
College Grounds Friday
Afternoon.

With one game already chucked
away on the shelf, the Luther col
lege base ball team can be seen any
day pranzing about the field, in their
brand new uniforms, bending every
effort to put another notch in their
already well SCARED baseball totem
pole, when Columbia comes here to
redeem it's tribal standing in this
territory, Luther college has team.
Not wishing to be boastful yet we
believe we have a winning team,
and this fact is interesting, inasmuch

coming to DEBORAH to attempt to dis
prove our opinion. Every player will
be prepared to demonstrate his best
wares against all corners.
So if you wish to enjoy a good

not miss this seasons games on the
college compus. More really big
games, every one intensified with a

With last years team practically

ly Luther base ball star, is
coaching for the first time, the team
of his alma Mater. Under his lead
ership and with his base ball saga

aggregation.
Fridays game promises to be
fought with hard CONSTANT playing.
"Ossie" Orwell, yearling star hurler,

ROOF FALLS
81 Die in Washington Playhouse
Beneath Fallen Beams.
List Of Wounded Reaches 1874 When
Search for Victims End-Heavy
Snow Causes Crash.

Observation-Disclosures police records
placed the known dead in the
Knickerbocker theater disaster at
81. Elimination of duplicated names
brought the final total down from the
unofficial peak of 112 at which the
toll of the catastrophe was placed
Saturday night. .
The list of injured totaled 1874 and
IA of these were recorded as critical
ly hurt. Caught beneath the falling
beams, which had been designed to
act as traverse supports for the roof,
scores were taken to hospitals suf-
fering with broken limbs or severe
internal injuries. Many were given
immediate medical attention at i'm
provised stations hastily erected near
the scene of the disaster.
The official list, according to the
authorities, contained the names of
all those whose bodies had been re-
covered up to midnight from the
ruins left when the roof of the the.
ater, overweighted with snow, col
lapsed on the audience.
The Knickerbocker, one of the new.
est and largest of the capitals mo.
ton picture houses, was rated as one
of the most exclusive, drawing it's pa
tronage from the Northwest residen-
tial section in the vicinity of upper
Connecticut avenue.
Family groups predominated il the
audience Saturday night and it was
upon these that the roof, backed by
tons of wet snow, descended with
barely whispered warning
The exact number in the theater
when the steel and concrete span of
the roof buckled and "ell under it's
three foot load of snow probably
never will be known. The stories of
perhaps hundred who got out un.

HAD ORIGIN IN
PAGAN FESTIVAL
CUSTOM OF CHOOSING A VALEN.
TINE is ANCIENT.
Fathers Of Christianity Modified the
Practices, Which They Were Un-
able Entirely to Eradicate.

st. Valentines day is the 18th Of
February, and singularly ominous to
lovers. st. Valentine is said to have
been bishop who suffered martyrdom
under the Roman emperor, Claudius,
or else under Aurelian in 271.
Like many another semi Christian
custom, the day set apart to the men,
DRY of st. Valentine in the Christian
calendar is an old pagan festival upon
which our ancestors believed that the
birds chose their mates for the coming
year. This, at least, Is the commonly
received version of, our modern custom
of Choosing valentine" on the 18th
of February and of sending billet
doux or fancy valentine through the
mail to some favored one.
In old Rome, the 18th of February
was the festival of Juno Februata
(Juno the fructifyer), and the Roman
church substituted st. Valentine for
the heather goddess. At that festival,
called "Lupercalia," it was there
customary, among other ceremonies,
to put the names of young women into
box, from which they were drawn
by the men as chance directed.
The Christian clergy, finding 1t diff
ficult or impossible to extirpate the
pagan practice, and in accordance
with their general principle to eradi-
cate the vestiges Of pagan superstition
by retaining the ceremonies but modi-
flying their significance, gave it re-
ligious aspect by substituting the
names of particular saints for those
of women. The saints whose names
were drawn were proposed for imita-
ton to the persons who received the
slips of paper wherein they were
written, and in many religious. houses,
where this custom still prevails, each
member of the community preserves
his billet during the year, as an incite-
lnent to imitate the virtues and in
woke the special intercession Of his
holy valentine.
This innovation, however, namely,
the substitution Of the names of saints
for the names of lovers, could not
please the young people forever.
Though the clergy repeatedly forbade
the custom of valentines and ordered
the use of cards With saints names,
the old pagan custom could not be
abolished. The boys and girls tri-
,umphed over the saints, and in the
end the girls triumphed over the boys,
wrestling from them their exclusive
privilege Of choosing mates.
The old custom of drawing names is
to this day observed in many parts of
England and Scotland in the following
manner: A number of clips of paper
with the names of an equal number
Of men and women are shuffled and
drawn, so each young man has val
entine in the person of young
maiden, and each maiden draws a
young man whom she calls hers. The
valentines give each other gifts, and
often this little sport ends in love and
marriage.

DIsARM MEET DRAWS TO END
Arms Conference Soon Over-Finaa
Sessions This Week.

WaSllingtOn.--EXcept for the formal
tiles and the frills that are to attend
its adjournment, the Washington con-
ference on limitation of armament and
Far Eastern questions is over.
AT Il plenary session the remaining
treaties and resolutions are to be
formally approved and the chief dele
gates are to say goodbye to one an
other in speeches expressing the graft
fication of their governments over the
conference accomplishments. On Mon
day at another public meeting, the
treaties will be signed and sealed and
President Harding will deliver the
valedictory in brief address.
Already the administration, looking
upon the conference agreements as ac-
complished facts, is moving to suspend
work on IL battleships and battle
cruisers now under construction but
destined for the scrap heap under the
naval treaty. The president does not
plan to actually begin the scrapping
process until the treaty has been rati-
fled by all the powers, but he has
asked the navy department for infor-
nation on which an order suspending
construction soon is to be issued.
In their final roundup of the Far
Eastern situation, the conference lead
ers decided to put their conclusions
into two Far Eastern treaties and n
number of supplementary resolutions.
One Of the treaties will deal with re-
vision of the Chinese tariff and the
other will embody the Root "four
points, and the "open door, policy.
Both will have as signatories all nine
