In the first game played by the
 Fairfield High school basketball team 1 They were defeated by the Staples High school team of Westport to the | tune 25 to G. The game was played in Westport. A return game will be played Friday in Legion hall and 1 the local boys expected to humfliate the Westporters in good shape. The Fairfield boys claim that they were handicapped by the smallness of Ma tional hall in which the game was
 played. They also say that the hall was very cold, hindering the playing.
 They say that If given a hall in which there is plenty of elbow room and fairly heated they will defeat any High school team In Connecticut

thereby winning their good will.
 Jimmie has apparently inherited some of his ancestors tact, as well as their genius for blazing the way, for he has recently been trying his hand at writing poetry = verse" he mod estly calls it-not the Milton or Browning kind, but just the humor- ous kind that common folks under stand and enjoy. Mrs. Swinnerton says that some of his rhymes didn't rhyme at first, and that some of the verses imped. One day he tried to rhyme ought to" with "water," and caused a great deal of merriment at his expense, but when he showed a contract with Good Housekeeping" for his stanzas about '"The Riddles of the Canyon Country" illustrated by his colorful drawings, the laugh was the other way. Here are some of the stanzas:
 This little maid Is not afraid
 Even with wolves to greet her. She has no charm To ward off harm But still the wolves won't eat her.
 They could if they could
 They could if they would She's risling a sudden decrease;
 Not that she's tough
 She just isn't enough To give them bite apiece.
 One of the pictures represents a little Hopi dreamily gazing at gor- geous sunset, with the mesas in the distance, to which the poet appended the following:
 Why is way-way wonder and ever so

 Why is the sun a-setting ?-why is the
 night birds song? Why should the sky be orange then
 turn to darkest blue? I'm afraid it means my bedtime
 what does it mean to you?
 Another picture represents little Te-Ho-Te being taken to bed, in a sad state of mind: T don't think it's right" said little

 One of the most humorous poems shows "1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little In dians," and without the cartoons one must imagine the action. Here are the stanzas: Of course, the little boy is not afraid When he hears the thunder bang and

Under the title of q Saw These Things in Hopi Land," the artist had the following quatrain accompanying humorous and colorful picture: The rattlesnake's rattle is supposed

 Because when he rattles he rattles a

 Although Swinnerton always has more than enough to do at his Stan ford university studio he has time to make friends with the students at the great institution, although he seldom talks shop" with them. He also num- bers among his acquaintances the most distinguished artists and liter ary men of the country. He is inter ested in helping young people who are doing literary work to make good, and stated that college graduates sometimes "get over" the fact that they are alumni of such-and-such a university. It sometimes takes a graduate of a school of journalism eight months to overcome the pedan- tic style that he may have acquired there. Jack London, who was his close friend, had to give up college on account of lack of funds, and Swim merton thinks that it may have been best that circumstances forced the great novelist to quit school and get a style of his own.

Jimmie Swlnnerton, the famous artist-cartoonist, who with Mrs. Swim merton and Artists R. Dirks and Geo Herriman, arrived here last week or one of his frequent pilgrimages into this country, has let his versatility break out in another direction. Those who have heard him tell stories in his rapid, inimitable way, have wondered why he did not write fiction. Asked about it when he was here two years ago, he said that he had tried, but though words come easily when he talks, he can't get his thoughts anc fingers to coordinate in writing.
 But here he's gone and broken out into poetry and has two-year con tract with one of the biggest maga' zines, which has been printing his poetry for several months.
 Jimmie doesn't know that we know and he'll wonder how in thunder we found out about his first attempt al poetry. In that, he rhymed auto with water. Mrs. Swinnerton unmercifully ragged him about it. A few weeks later she was entertaining several lit erary friends, when in stalked Jim- uilcy WCdIllR Iilt ClObilCo uC WCdto Oot here on the desert, with wonderful necktie and a big Hopi Indian garter his hair pulled low over his forehead and looking like a poet in the worst stages.
 Get out of here, Auto Water,' Mrs. Swinnerton commanded. "You don't belong in company like this"
 Then with flourish, Jimmie pulled out a big batch of poetry he had re- gently written and with it some that had been accepted and printed by the magazines, as well as a long-term con- tract for more poetry! Then, with lofty scorn, he patronized the rest of the bunch all the afternoon.
 Frank Bennett held us up on the street the other morning and an- nounced that The Suns story of the week before about Mrs. George w. Harben's hen, which laid two eggs on each of two successive days, interest ed him greatly, especially as he had a hen that did even better than that laid two eggs in less than a minute. Frank said he had three witnesses be- sides himself-Louis Kelly, Billy Null len and another man-"but,' he said, q don't want you to print the name of the other man, because he's such damn liar no one would believe the story" One of the eggs had a hard shell, Frank said, and the other a soft one, and the hen dropped both in less than a minute, while the four men were watching.

Greenbacks >or yellowbacks that
were accidentally torn in the money
room of a bank have been put into
decorative use by A. ]. Bame Of New
York city in the making of mosaic
224S by 2811 inches. The original
would have a value Of $4,000 If it
were made from good bills.
More than two thousand pieces are
contained in the design, and Mr.. Bame
put into the task all his spare time
extending over period Of ten months.
Each piece Of the mosaic had to be
ironed out and cut with small scis-
sors. Many of the pieces were so
small that they haG to be held by
pair of tweezers in order to cut them.
The very lifelike eye of the eagle
was made from the figure with the
bottom cut off while the beak> was
from the yellow back Of a 500 bill.
The little designs found on So bills
were used for the feathers in the
eagles head, and the neck feathers
came out of 50 bills.
The red, and blue stripes in the
shield were obtained from the col
ored seals on the bills, while the white
stripes and the stars were simply
background of white paper, the stars
having been cut out with a penknife.
