New Britain basketball fans are an exception to the general line of fans. At the state armory, whether the decision seems to be adverse or not. there is very little haggling of the referee. "Dick" Dillon is reputed to be the best in the state with the whistle, but despite this. no referee takes any razzing to any extent on local courts.

the administration has re-
leased many federal employ
ees from high saiaried jobs.
It may seem strange to the
people at home why these en-
ployes discharged from their
present duties viii take ex-
aminations for the same job
at an extremely low entrance
salary. They make various
sacrifices to be retained on
the government payroll rath-
er than return home to teach
school or to take up work in
the stores or on the farm.
There seems to be a lure a.
bout Washington life that
makes government employ
ment desirable even if the
social sphere IS restricted.
One of the reasons that gov
eminent jobs are regarded by
outsiders as soft snaps" is
the policy of allowing 80 days
sick leave and 80 days an
nual leave. This labor policy
would bankrupt or lessen the
efficiency, at least, Of private
institutions. There is some
talk that the present admins
tration will reduce these two
months vacation periods TAX
IN at the expense of the tax
payers. Two weeks is the
ordinary vacation period in
private life.

Their utmost velocity is
not expended during their en-
tire migratory movements,
extra speed is reserved in
case of contingency.
Nowadays, we have no
doubt whatsoever regarding
the ability of birds to under
take long journeys. One would
think that our feathered
friends would be unenter-
prising not to avail themsel-
yes of their unsurpassed
powers of locomotion for
seeing the world!
But scientifically we must
interpret the great principles
of bird migration otherwise.
There is reason to believe
that birds, as they arose from
their reptilianlike ancestry,
were for the most part limit
ed in their wing power.
Indeed If is SI1rnniSad that
the ostrich and other flight
less forms are survivors Of
the ancestral avian types.
Birds were therefore not in
the first place endowed with
powerful flight to enable
them to trip hither and thith-
er for mere amusement or
change of scene!
Migration is far from be-
ng the enviable gift of nature
oft sung by the poets. It is
fraught with grave dangers,
betimes the scene of tragedy
with a heavy casualty list.
Migration, like every other
great biological activity, is
the product Of evolution.-C.

Immediately other judges condemn
ed him. These Judges of course
were familiar with the notorious
straw bail" cases of Chicago. They
knew that bail was being used as
an avenue to complete liberty. but
the age-old institution of bail was
too sacred to consider any depar-
ture.
It is true that the constitution
says. Excessive bail shall not be
required But surely bail set
high enough to protect the court
against abuse is not excessive. If
criminal by paying ordinary bail
or by using STRAW bail' thereby
buys his way out of the laws
reach, there is abuse.
In the light Of these experiences
1T is high time that courts consid-
er carefully the scales of prices by
which they give men the right to
walk out Of jail. Il isn't enough to
say, This is the ban we have al
ways set for offenses of this type. :"
The question is, Is the bail enough
to insure the temperance of the
man when he is wanted?-Milwau-

SPANNING A CENTURY

SPANNING A CENTURY
The death Of James Goude,
aged almost 102 years, the
oldest resident in Baraboo, is
convincing that the span of
life is frightening. When Mr..
Goude was born there were
no railroads-the iron horse
is celebrating this year a CEN
fury of usefulness. How
science has revolutionized the
world during the century.
The train. the automobile, the
airplane have broken down
space; greater sanitation and
ways of living have increased
the span of life; the applica-
ton of electricity has given
greater freedom; and OAR
winism and all that sitaappliesl
has brought a revolution in
thought. Mr.. Goude saw
all these.
Life a century ago is con-
sidered simple as compared
with the present, yet it was
not so simple after all. Money
went farther yet people made
sacrifices in order to obtain
the things they most desired.
The tables in those elderly
days were more simple as to
foods, yet there was greater
effort to obtain what they
had. There is more leisure
today on the part of the
housewife which indicates life
is not so strained as to the
Kitchen as it was a century
or more ago.
Mr.. Goude saw the vantage
ground of years, lived
through the most estimable
period of the worlds history
an unusual episode in the
life of man.
To live so long in. Wiscon-
sin is sufficient evidence that
the climate of California and
Florida are not so wonderful
after all when longevity is
considered.

Fifty-fve rum runners captured

and brought them into court. There
the men gave fictitious names

MAN CAN MOLD HIS OWN
CAREER

A great bishop, whose life
was largely spent in found
ing schools and training boys
from their early, uniformed
days to responsible manhood,
once said: II have watched
my boys carefully for many
years and noted their growth
from stage to stage. | have
seen them progress from
class to class in my schools
and seminaries, and there is
one thing I have discovered
about them beyond the shad-
oW of any doubt.
at is this: Boys and young
men succeed or fail in life ac-
cording to their own just de-
serts. And it is always so.
If they succeed, it is because
they deserve to succeed. If
they fail to be useful in the
world. it is because they de-
serve to fail"
The bishop spoke these
words to boys fresh from
their vacation, more or less
eager to begin their work
with their instructors, and
looking forward to the school
associations and pleasures of
the coming year.
Boys" he continued, II
want you to understand that
every one makes his own sue
cess or failure. 1t depends on
yourselves. Each one of you
will get out of life just what
you are willing to put into it. "
Then he pointed to a rare
painting on one of the walls.
"You see that picture" he
went on. 1T was not in the
colors of the palette, it was
not in the canvas. Tt was in
the soul of the artist who
painted it. There were the
same colors for a hundred ar
lists. There were a thousand
brushes as good and better.
The same canvas could be had
in any place of merchandise.
"The picture was in any of
these. But one day an artist
who had put unceasing labor
and sacrifice and love into
his life came along and he US
ed the same colors and brush
I s and canvas that would have
produced nothing extraordin-
airy in the hands of a hund
red others.
But this artist had put
more into his life more sac
rifice and labor and love, and
so could take more out. And
that marvellous picture was
| the result. Z st. Nicholas.
