Horses of History.

The time when generals led their
armies to victory mounted on a
charger has passed, and the mill
tary leader Of today more frequently
directs the actions and movements
of troops sitting at table on which
are telegraph and telephone. instru-
ments. Yet the popular picture of
a national hero is one where he rides
his horse. And every general has
a horse which shares the glory; OF
battle with his master.
Some of these horses have become
famous TOR the service they have
rendered. In history every boy
and girl has heard of Bucephalus,
the horse of Alexander the Great.
Napoleon's steed was Marengo,. and
Copenhagen Is the well known ia

Sealing Wax and Hats
for Flappers.

THE most important subject to
have safely weathered the midyear
exams at school is the selection Of
the first spring hat, to be worn even
this unusually wintry weather for
Washington with fur. coats and
goloshes
These girls, and possibly others,
will be interested to- hear that 1t is
rumored from Paris and New York
that the smartest thing in hats is a
small "hobbed-hair' cloche, such as
has been worn during the winter,
but with the novel trimming of seal
ing wax. Some have large seals and
some many small seals. One has the
up brims are tied to the crown with
narrow strips of ribbon held In place
by little gobs Of the wax. Some of
the hats have the wax in metallic
colors, gold, bronze and silver. Some
Of the seals are placed on the crowns
as ornaments, some Of them hold cut
pieces of the cloche brim to the
Crown, others are the .centerpiece OF
ribbon ornaments or even feather
decorat tions.
/, In most cases the hats themselves
are simple black felt or straw shapes,
easily adaptable to any novel decora-
tipn with this unique material that
a girl may see fit to apply. The wax
usually adds the necessary touch Of
color that brightens up the somber-
hued hat.

THE older generation asks young
people today to accept their tradi-
tional ideas of department without
explaining the why and wherefore of
existence. Why should not boys and
girls balk at being handled in this
manner? Contrary to the popular i'm
preston. l find girls everywhere
puzzled about what is right or what is
wrong. They worry and struggle to
solve these things alone. If parents
would bring to light the questions
that are bothering young people and
frankly talk them over, ! feel con-
fldent that girls would meet their
elders more than half way.
Boy and girl relationships. health
habits, the safety of having chap
eroue. school crushes between girls,
and how to raise such friendships to
ideal relations are some of the ques-
tions that girls ask
Within the last few months Or.
Allison has spoken 10 girls in 126
rural communities, three towns and
seven cities. Girls whom. she has ad-
dressed have included groups of uni
versity students.
Our discussions aim to link health
with personality and larger eX-
preston in life. Take, for instance,
the difference between passive and
active recreation. Many girls prefer
to sit in the movies and see other peo-
pie in action rather than to hike and
exercise. Recreation, unless it calls
into play our manual or creative
ability, does not satisfy.
Girls should recognize that rest
1essness and dissatisfaction may have
their sole source in an overdose of
inactive recreation"

There are two general styles OF
basket ball, the long and the short
passing game. The short passing
game is the best. Here's what 1t is
and how do it,.
In this so-calIed short passing game
the, ball Is passed very rapidly from
one player to another, and the passes
do not average more than eight or
ten feet each. The advantage in this
lies in the fact that such short pass
is hard for an opponent to intercept,
and the ball is passed so often that
1t is hard for an opponent to keep
track of 1t.
In, this short-pass attack the men
are all rather close together, so that
the ball can be passed from one to
another easily. Always try to pass to
the man ahead, hut if this Is not pos
sible the ball may be passed back. A
games Of this type also develops team
play and. puts the ball up close to the
basket, so.that short, easy shots may
be ,takeiif instead of the long, spec
taanlar shots which look well. but
which do not give many points.
II any one Of you fellows is stocky
or hsavytaSe you are probably the
type OF boy who should play guard on
a basket ball team. That doesn't
mean that guard can be slow; he
cannot.
To be q good guard you must be on
the alert-trying to fgure out what
is going to happen next. and stop it
before 1t happens. If q man has the
ball, don't let him get 2 shot at the
basket with it and don't let him pass
it to any one else If you can prevent
It.

Tending and the forward you are

while. This was strictly against or
ders, the order reading:
.Sentries is strictly snjoined against
parting from their muskets under
pain of death"
For 3 time I the sentinel, paced
back and forth. observing tho stars
and listening to the occasional howl
of a lone coyote tdog,, and to the
lustrs' snoring of his three tried and
trusted companions. Aside from
these. no saund pervaded the abso-
lnte stiilnesssef the night.

the lone sentry had just paused a

of broken twig, followed by the

ca>ight his attention. For a moment
the Lone Sentry leaned upon his
musket and listened. and as he
listened the blood froze in his veins.
The beast-whateyer il was-came
steadily ahead, attracted, no doubt,
by the duh glare of the watch fire.
In q, moment the crunch of the heavy
feet and the crackle of the bushes
ceased and the animal stool still,
apparently trying to make up its
mind whether to beat a retreat or to
charge into the nest of sleeping
pirates.

his musket held at the ready and
his fingers toying at the handle of

For a moment he revolved in his

bear-or whether he should fire his

panions, Observation-Disclosures he should
in a word-retire himself to some
point less exposed to the light of the
