Aunt Abbie at the Basketball Game


When l first went into the gym
nasium, l saw great many boys
taking turns throwing ball into the
air. | guess they We're trying to see
who could throw it the highest. One
boy was because he threw 1T to the
top of the railing. Pretty soon man
came in and blew a whistle. Then
two boys stood opposite each other
in the middle of the floor. thought
they were going to fight, but they
were only trying to hit ball the man
threw up. Wasn't that silly?
Then all the boys started running
up and down the floor after the ball.
When ore boy would get the ball
some other boy would very rudely
seize it and run off with it. In fact
all of them were rather impolite.
Another thing they did was TO
throw the bail in baskets on the wall.
of course anyone could see that this
was a very foolish thing to do be
cause the baskets had no bottoms IN
them and of course the ball fell rlght
out again. But those boys did the
same foolish thing over and over
again. The people yelled and shout-
cd every time one of the boys threw
the bali into the basket. Even then
those BOYS did not realize that the
people saw how foolish their actions
we're, but they went right on throwing
the ball into the bottomless baskets.
At one end of the balcony was
croup of people who acted rather
Strangely. When other people shout
ed they were silent and when the
others were not yelling they were. l
don't believe they really understood
the game 1 was sorry for them'
they must have been embarrassed
although they did not appear SO.
soon the man blew the whistle
again and the players left the floor.
For a short while some smaller boys
came on and chased the ball around
They looked like lot of little grass
hoppers, hopping all over the floor.
Then the older boys came PACK anu az
the people in the balcony began 10
shout. 1 grew SO excited that l even
shouted a little myself. although l
couldn't see any reason Tor IL. 1 Was
exhausted after the game.
Basketball is very exciting, but
rather foolish game.-Agatha l.. Kill

Greenbacks Changed to Cardboard

0reen packs Nnangeu TO SdFOOOdTu
Nearly every week day there leaves
the treasury department in Washing
ton under heavy guard a wagon load
of greenbacks, ranging in denomina-
ton from 81 to 500, to be destroyed.
The money is taken to the bureau of
printing and engraving, where 1t is
mutilated and then pulped.
Most of the money thus destroyed
is greasy and grimy from age and
rough handling. All of it has reach
drawn from circulation. On rush
days the load that leaves the treas
ury to he destroyed weighs as much
as 10000 pounds.
The money to be destroyed is gen.
ployees as they count it. The bills
are gathered and placed in bundles
of 100 and mutilated. First four big
holes are punched in every bill and
then they are cut in half.
"All Of the work is done with the
greatest care" said treasury official.
"All identity of the various bills is
completely destroyed. When the work
of mutilating the bills is completed
there is not the slightest recognizable
thing about them.
"The pulp to which the bills are
transformed has value. 1t is used
for making cardboard. A consign-
ment of pulp was sold recently. In
its form of pulp it was worth about
SO. In its original form of currency
it was worth about $2,500,000.

could tell were it able to speak.

the depth of the savings SOCK some
of it has widowed through the years

In appearance much more like
fine clubhouse than the usual prison
building, the Beauregard parish Jail,
at De Ridder, La, was constructed
some years ago to conform with the
idea that a place of Imprisonment
should be house of correction rath-
er than a dungeon of punishment,
says the February Popular Mechan-
les Magazine in an illustrated article.
The building has the reputation of
being almost perfect in sanitation
and health conditions. 1t Is massive
ly built of reinforced sand blasted
concrete. three stories high, with a
terra Gotta roof, and a square cen
trail tower Every cell in the interior
Is roomy and has a window, so that
no prisoner is deprived of fresh air
and a view of the beautiful sky and
landscape of a southern state. Baths
and toilets are provided for every
cell. and every prisoner sleeps in a
comfortable bed.
