never one more picturesque In sur

The families in the little Plymouth
colony were scarcely numerous enougl,
to have their own home feasts, so they
all ate and drank together, their
guests being King Massasolt and
nearly one hundred Indians Of his
tribe. What a wonderful sight 1t must
have been-the Pilgrims, in their

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
 WINS EXCITING GAME

The High School boys defeated the Elks' basket ball team last evening by score of 2S to 23 At the end of the first half the score was 16 to 5 in the High Schools favor. It seemed throughout this period as though the Elks were having tough luck, prac- tically unable to cage the ball and yet having many tries for the goal. In the second period they came back with rally of g field goals while up to within three minutes of the final whistle the High School had made but two, making the score 21 to 20 in the High Schools favor, but in the last three minutes the school came back with three baskets.
 The Elks proved last evening that although they have not won game this series that with their new players they can play an even game with the school which is now in first place. Next Wednesday evening the School Girls play the Ladies team and the c. R. & N. w. Ky. vs. Finkelstein & Sapiro.

DOCTOR AGAIN IN POLICE TOLLS FOR
 DANGERS MURDER

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 17.-~Dr. Louis L. Jacobs, a physician of Camp Kearny, has been arrested under an indictment charging him with the murder of Fritzi Mann, the pretty Oriental dancer whose body was found on the beach at Torrey Pines, near San Diego, a month ago. Jacobs was taken under custody and held following the discovery of the body and evidences that pointed to mur- der. He was released on habeas cor pus proceedings for lack of sufficient evidence to connect him with the crime. New evidence presented to the Grand Jury has resulted in tie return of the indictment. The nature of this evidence is not revealed.

BIG CHANGES IN
 DEPARTMENTS
 AREPR0P0SED

1 WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.--Details of l the proposed reorganization of the
 various departments of the Govern.
 ment have been forwarded to the joint committee of Congress, which is expected to use them as at least
 a basis for further study. The out
 standing proposal is the plan for the
 consolidation of the War and Navy Departments under the single port folio of Department of Defense. with three under-secretaries in charge of Army, Navy and National resources.
 The plan includes the establishment
 of a Department of Education and
 Welfare, while other proposals call
 for the transfer of all military functions from the War and Navy Departments to the civilian depart ments, chiefly those of the Interior and Commerce, and the elimination of all non-fiscal functions from the Treausry Department. It is proposed also, to change the name of the Post Office Department to that of the Department of Communications which, it is expected, will serve to develop the telegraphic, telephone and wireless communications for the public benefit The Bureau of h. sular Affairs may be transferred from the War to the State De part ment. Numerous changes in the administration of the various bureaus will probably be brought about, but control of the forest lands of the country will remain with the De- partment of Agriculture.

ENTHUSIASM TO BE GUIDED
Properly Directed, It IL One Of The
Most Valuable Possessions
Woman Can Have.

There are women who let all Of
their enthusiasm bubble to the top Of
their conversation, frothy women.
Then there are women who let their
enthusiasm settle at the bottom Of
their personality, like the dregs Of
lost youth. Absorbed In the routine
of their own little lives they lose touch
with the lives Of others. AS their cir
Gle of interests narrows. their euthu-
siasm dies. Finally, inevitably, they
join that sad sisterhoOd of drab. col
orless women-women who don't
count.
But there are women whose enthu-
siasm neither bubbles to the top nor
subsidies to the bottom. Women who
really let themselves CO." They are
interested In other people and events
outside Of their own little lives, and
this interest sparkles into enthusiasm.
These are the women whom we call
vivid" and these are the women who
make happy friendships and happy
marriages, even when they are handi-
capped by lack Of beauty. or lack Of
cleverness, or lack Of style.-Ex-

found security on the Isle Of Pines.
Not the least interesting epoch Of
the islands history was when 1t served

days when the traders In "black ivory"
found the difficulties Of their profess

decreased In a like ratio. They at
