Friday night the locals take on
C~enterville for the first of a series of
four games, unless we have been mis-
informed. The Centerville floor is
small making a short, quick passing
game and close guarding essential.
BY comparative dope the Centerville
team is the strongest in this section
although all their games have been
won at home and when they play on
a larger floor they may not be so
successful.

the northern suburbs of Leeds. 1t
Is a neighborhood of six-roomed
houses and long, cobbled streets, a
neighborhood teeming with men and
women when the great factories
close at hand are empty: but at this
particular hour of the day, when
the children are at school, and the
men. and many of the women, are
still In the mills, 1t shows signs of
something approaching desertion.
There was a handsome gray touring
landaulette containing two passen-
gers, a man and a woman, drawn up
on the other side of the way, ap-
parently to take advantage of the
shade of some tall billboards while
the chauffeur filled up with petrol.
Otherwise-as a careful glance up
and down the street convinced me
not a soul was in sight.
I walked along a hot asphalt path
and turned the corner into what was
known as the Boulevard, almost un-
noticed. On my left was a stretch
of waste-ground, black and with
malodorous refuse, empty tins and
bottles abandoned even by the chill
dren as an undesirable playground.

At the corner of the street, 1 look

life about the bank, no n appar-
emily on his way toward IT.. There
were a few children playing about
the ~unoccupied houses. and behind
the windows OF the cottages in the
street where I now was. were women
intent upon various domestic duties.
One woman was scolding her child
just outside the door. She glanced
at me only in the most perfunctory
fashion. My Panama hat wac pull

him by without a glance and stepped
into the gray touring-car behind.
The engine was purring gently; the
chauffeur's fingers were upon the

my place by the side of Janet, I'M
recognizable beneath her motor-Veil,
and we glided off northwards. There
were no signs of any disturbance as
we shot into the broad main street.
We gathered speed up at the Chapel
town Hill, and very soon we were
racing for Scotland.
Janet passed me a silver flask
soon after we had passed out of the
suburbs. I shook my head.

cause of an opportune strike
amongst the masons. The only in
habited edifice was the one where
my business lay. A brass plate up
on h door indicated that this was
a branch of Browns Bank, planted
out here In this uncomely pot for
the convenience of the huge factories
which dominated the neighborhood.
With my hand upon the swing
door | glanced around. Ny luck was
certainly in. for there was still not
even a child to be seen. Inside, be-
hind the counter, both the
and his clerk were busy counting
out bundles of treasury-notes. They
looked up inquiringly as I entered.
Strangers in such a place., I imagine.

a rarity which they were never like
ly to experience again in this world.
My plans We're cut and dried to the
last detail. I wasted no time in any
silly attempt to hold the place up,
but brief though the seconds were,
it was amazing how my brain
chronicled a host of varying impress

his knees shaking. I am convinced
that if l had left him alone for an
other five seconds, he would have
collapsed hopelessly without any in
reference on my part. I was not
able to take risks, however; so,

and get the best bunch of Eals in the world and love them" Thot is a recipe given lightsomely, but it is sound and solid as well. The basis of well-spent life and happy one so far as that may be is love of what is right, which of itself includes the Golden Rule. MT. Depew sees lot
 of that and he sees it because he looks
 for it. The tragic and the senseless come forcefully to mems attention
 for the very reason that they are ex- ception to the rule and necessarily cause men and women to take notice of them. Meanwhile the average man and woman are doing the duty before them fairly well. Before the anti tuberculosis campaign opened fourth of the amount originally aimed at had been subscribed. Never a day in Bir- mingham but saw and hammer are busy on a new and handsome church building for the worship of the Crea- tor. There are many divorces, but the vast majority of husbands and wives are working as team mates in the rearing of their brood. And those are happiest and doing best who have taken on themselves the obligation of doing for others, their own beloved and the wards of the community.

OUR DEFENSE POLICY

While the pacifists are going about the country actively carrying on their propaganda of opposition to an intel ligent national program of defense, the rank and file of sensible Ameri- can citizens, by their indifference, are permitting congress to fall short of it's responsibility in this respect. If the American rank and file must bear the expense of preparation they must also bear the infinitely greater ex- pense of unpreparedness should an other war come upon us. Those who have spoken with greatest wisdom in our history have counseled that na- tion's ability to defend itself is the best peace insurance, as long as other nations are armed. This policy does not incline to militarism, nor does it advise inordinate expenditure. On the contrary, even our military lead CTS advocate only such preparation as would furnish proper defense and po- lice protection to our boundaries, and as would provide nucleus about which, in time of urgent necessity, an army could be quickly developed.
 One reason why the army and navy appropriations were allowed to dwin- dle, and the principal reason why suf- ficient money was not set aside for civilian training is that the American people, absorbed in their daily activi- ties, have not made more emphatic their expression of desire for the carrying out of the statutory program of defense and civilian training. The public should rouse itself from this indifferent attitude long enough to induce congress to make the moderate appropriations the program demands. Woodrow Wilson's opinion that citi zenry trained to arms is the nations best defense has found an approving echo wherever intelligent minds have given the subject thought. Congress has passed the laws authorizing such a policy. Now let congress be called on properly to finance that policy.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
 MEN
M other of George Jacquc. Dnnton

The best thing Madeleine Ca nut Danton ever did for her son, George Jacques Danton, one of the leaders of the French revolu- tion. was to provide him with an excellent step-father. When the boy was seven years old, a wild, unruly child who defied his pa rents. his playmates and his teachers. his father died, leaving the difficult task of rearing him equipped for the job. Mime. Dan ton. woman of good birth and breeding, was woman of con- siderable charm and character, but she did not have a will strong enough to cope with her son. He needed curbing. which she was unable to give him. She loved him deeply. with that especial love mothers have in reserve for naughty sons, but she was wor- ried about his future.
 After several difficult years she remarked. Her second hus- band was man who combined two splendid qualities, strength and understanding. He somehow managed to find the way to his stepson's mind, and discovered the right appeals. Although he never turned into anything remotely re- sembling a good boy. the future dictator slowly learned that re- straint and wisdom which were so necessary to him in his days of power. Between the mother | and sou waa a sort of fpSfinctive sympathy. although not any great quantity of common ground. They loved each other. in spite of, rath- CT than because of, the bond of understanding.

F Judge Gary's explanation of his statement with regard to immigration places him more in line with prevalent thought than was understood from his , original statement. The explanation declares that he stands for equality of immigration and that he does not be- lieve the immigration law should per init immigration which can reasonably be considered inimical to domestic la bor of any kind, to our government or to the public" Even at that America is in no great hurry to fill all her vacant places This country, es- zpecially the South, realizes more and more the advantage of having plenty of room for all Dense populations of necessity create stern conditions of life and out of these stern conditions there issues callousness of mind and of heart.

AS DEPEW SEES HUMANITY

In his ninetieth year, after wit messing the follies of men and women for nearly a century, Chauncey De- pew re-avows his confidence in man. kind and declares that the world is better. He is not upset by the endur- ance dances, by the movie queen mur- ders, by the so-called "tiger queens, y by jazz of sound and mind and the noise which the cheap and loud make. He sees the great mass of men and women who work hard, who save and who endure, who give of their means to those needing help, who are true to husband and to wife, who eschew the divorce court and who raise fami- lies of children in the fear of the Lord and the love of their fellow man.
 He throws out good rule of life, saying: "Love your work, love your recreation, love your life, get good girl and love her, and then go ou
