DELTA TAKES DOUBLE HEADER
OLATHE FOLLOWS SUIT

Four high schools met in basket
ball games at the high school audi
torium last week. The Delta boys
and girls defeated their opponents
from Eckert Friday night while Sat
urday night Olathe scored double
victory over Cedaredge.
The Delta girls defeated the Eckert
girls by score Of IS to II. Eckert
played a fast game but was swamped
by Delta's superior experience and
team work. The Delta lineup was
as follows: Ruth Scoby, guard; Elsie
Engelhardt, guard; Elma Larson,
jumping center; Ruth Campbell, run.
ming center; Sadie Southwell. guard
(second half; Marian Castle. run
ming center (second halD Marian
Marian Watkins, forward and Mary
Covert, forwards. Marian Watkins,
who was running in preverse luck the
week before, came back with her
usual ability, throwing 10 field goals
and one free throw, while Mary Co
vert displayed like skill with field
goals.
The Eckert boys opened their game
with a vengeance and put up game
fight till the last whistle blew but
they did not show quite as much
skill and team work as the Delta
boys. The first half ended is to in
favor of Delta, while the final score
read 20 to "a. The local lineup by
points was Hines, I. II; Bethel, I. ~;
Engelhardt, C. 2; Foster, g. 4; John
son, g; Rollins c. The game was fea-
tured by team work and spectacular
field throws. several Of which were
made by Hines, Bethel and Foster.
The games Saturday night between
Olathe and Cedaredge were both fast
and little rough. r. s. Courson Of
Montrose acted as referee and curbed
the roughness to great extent by
calling fouls. very few Of which were
successful. however. Both Cedaredge
teams led off with good margins but
were unable to maintain them. The
| girls game ended II to IA In favor Of
Olathe while the Olathe boys camt
out on top with score Of 10 to 10.

DREAM OF MANY INVENTORS
Much Time and Thought Wasted on
Machines Meant to Attain
Perpetual Motion.

Perpetual motion has been the
dream of inventors for many cen
turtles. By perpetual motion is usually
meant q mechanical device which will
operate of its own power without such
external or internal aids as wind, gas,
steam or any other element of force.
Some have come very near to attain
ing a kind of perfection by series
Of weights and balances; also by the
use of quicksilver, but while these
machines will operate for time, they
are unable in that time to develop
sufficient power to work machinery or
be Of any real benefit. In the town OF
Minnedosa, Man., an old gentleman
had for some years machine of his
own invention operated by series Of
weights by which he was said to have
run a small lathe. A scientist named
Strut has invented an apparatus
which takes advantage of radium
carnations upon a gold leaf electro
scope. This perhaps comes near to
an endless motion, but is maintained
at the expense Of the molecular en-
ergy Of the radium.

The Lost Token.

The car stopped and three passen.
gers ESCAPED from The confusion OF
the traffic to the comparative safety
Of the cars platform. One was a
young man with pink rose In MS
hand. But as he stepped into the car
he dropped the rose to the street. He
had already paid his fare and the car
hsd covered half a block before ne
realized his loss.
An expression, not only of regret
but of panic spread over his face. He
pressed the button frantically aqd at
the next corner alighted and started
back along the car tracks lodging the
traffic.
The Woman stretched and craned
her neck to see If he were rewarded
Yes, he snatched up the rose from
thu black city mud and stood brush
Ing the dirt from its pure
petals. He had recovered his token
for which he was willing to give his
time and his fare-just a common
place, ordinary young man like hum
dreds you see every day. Who dares

"RooseveIt's RELIGION"

President Roosevelt writes Ethel an
interesting account of a "rescue."
Sloan, the secret service man, and
he were en- route to church when he
saw two dogs chasing a kitten. He
drove the dogs off with his cane while
Sloan captured the "kitty." Then the
President inquired from the smiling
spectators if the cat belonged to them
but not finding an owner, he went
down the block with the kitten in his
arms until he saw "a very nice col
ored woman with little girl looking
out the window Of a small house" and
gave her the kitten. Then, straight
ening his clothes and brushing his
silk hat, he went on to church in a
better frame to worship. From

Study Of Dreams.

Much valuable information as to the
mental makeup Of child could be OBJ
tanned from study of his dreams, DR.,
G. W. Kimmins, an English savant,
recently declared during a discussion
on psycho-analysis and education at a
meeting of the British association at
Hull. 1t would be interesting, he sug-
gested, to hear from psychologists to
what extent children's dreams could
be used for school purposes. Doctor
Kimmins emphasized the danger Of
extravagant hopes in regard to the
use Of psycho-analysis for educational
purposes, which might lead to an in
finite amount Of harm.

ODD FORM OF RESIGNATION
Acceptance of Official Position Auto
maticaIIy Elects Member From
British Parliament.

In the cases of Arthur HendersOn's
and some other notable defeats in the
English parliamentary elections the
comment Of English papers is to the
effect that as matter Of course, a
seat will be found for the person de-
feated.
This means that some generous and
supposedly important member Of the
party who has been elected will re-
sign and that his constituency will be
kind enough to elect the defeated man.
The technical process of such a pro-
ceeding is odd and, to an American,
amusing.
The elected member takes "the
Stewardship of the Chiltern Hun
dreds." That is, he accepts commits
sion as royal official for the district
once known as the Chiltern Hundreds,
and, having done this, he can and
must resign his membership in parlia-
ment, as a member cannot hold royal
commission Of honor and profit.
Thereupon some one Is elected in
his place, and he forthwith resigns
his appointment to the Chiltern Hun
dreds, an office which has no duties
but a nominal salary Of 20 shillings,
which makes it 'plAce of honor and
profit" and hence is inconsistent with,
membership in the house, and the Of
fee is open for the next member who
wants to resign.-From the Outlook.

cor NAME FROM TROJAN KING
History Professor Says Britain Was
Ancient Land Before the Land
Ina Of the Romans.

Professor Gordon, Merton professor
Of English literature in the University
Of Oxford, lectured to the English as
ISOLATION at the London School Of Eco
Monies on "The Trojans in Britain"
and the report Of his talk given by the
London Morning Post, sets forth some
statements new to the general public.
Professor Gordon said he found 1t
difficult to understand why so often the
history of Britain taught to schoolboys
began with Julius Caesar, for Britain
was quite an old land by the time the
Romans arrived. The first Britons
were the Trojans, and Brutus, the first
British king, gave his name to the
island.
Brute, or Brutus, great grandson OF
Aeneas, gave Britain its first estab'
lished population since the flood. He
founded a second Troy in Britain. On
his voyage he encountered sea monsters
known as sirens, which Godfrey mag
ined to be a species Of whale.
Brutus landed in Britain, where he
found nobody but few giants, whom
he rounded up in their caves. One
giant was clothed in furs made up OF
the boards of the kings he had killed.
Lud, one Of the associates Of Brutus,
gave his name to London and to Lud-
gate. The Trojans represented the
best blood Of Europe; hence 1t was
quite natural that Cymbeline's son
should marry a daughter Of the en-
perOr Of Rome.

Owl Put Up Good Fight.

The ferocity Of the white owl is we'll
known. A hunter shot Il mallard that
fell upon land and on going to retrieve
his prize, found the wounded bird had
been attacked by an Arctic owl, whose
wing spread was six feet. Instead Of
flying away upon the approach Of man.
the owl clapped it's big beak viciously
and tapped its wings in defiance. AS
the hunter advanced the owl dashed at
him and for several minutes there oc-
cured terrific fight In the end the
owl had to be shot twice with the
shotgun.

Envy of Talent,

AS to clever peoples hating eacn

sometimes make people jealous. They
become irritated by perpetual attempts
