used to at least foods shelter, and clothing. He
could not endure much longer the present hardship
to which he not used. He had had his fill of
the navy, but if to worse, he would have
to reenlist
Now if he or any other boy really picks the navy
as career, I'll not quarrel with him; I'll simply
refer him to the psycopathic ward. But here was

several times. Again and again went to the pool
hall where had first found him. thinking that some
instinct might lead him back there for a reappear-
ance of his angel. But owing probably to a faulty
religious education, his faith in angels must have
been weak Faith had not led him to expect a sec
ond reincarnation. Or flattering thought to
me- possibly he felt that owing to my goodness
had been snatched up by fiery cloud and trans
lated to heaven-or snatched up by the police and
deported as an undesirable citizen Take your choice
Of the theories; the price is the same. Ia
have never seen the boy since, tho on the fol-
lowing night again combed the district. My guess
is that after night in real bed, the luxury OF
the thing had sent him to the recruiting Office to
join the navy again. Probably now he is somewhere
On the seas polishing brass or an officers shoes.
Must you have a moral to this tale? Here it is.
AS soon as young fellow in a recruiting office signs
on the dotted line, his economic problem is solved
From that moment, food, clothing, shelter, medical
and dental service fall on him like mamma from
heaven. But let him try to go out to do productive
work in contrast to the unproductive service OF the
army or navy, and the situation is different. He
will not be hired unless the boss can see way to
make money out of him. And if the boss can't see
it that wayne may sleep in empty tool boxes and
go hungry.
Ruskin somewhere says that we feed. train and
dress men for the labor that kills, when we ought
to feed Dress train them for the labor of life
That's mouthful.
So that is the moral. The sequel win never be
written unless again sometime that
pleasing young NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. l might not
even recognize him if did. And the angel has be-
come such devil that by chance would he know
me again.

POINCARE WILL AID
FRENCH ATHLETICS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, December IA direct ap.
peal to Premier Poincare to repeal, OF
at least amend, the decree practically
eliminating sports and athletics from
the French army has met with
prompt response.
II should be quite unworthy to be
the head Of the government IL I took
no interest in matters Of SPORT" said
M. Poincare in reply to q letter from
former Minister of Sports CASTOR
Vidal. asking that the former regime
be continued in spite Of the one-year
military service.
1t has been announced by the gen.
eral staff that all furloughs granted
athletes under the colors to partici.
pate In athletic competition will be
rescinded after May Is, 1927, because
of the necessity for the soldiers to
devote all their time to military
duties. This has been interpreted as
great handicap to France in the
preparation for the 1928 Olympic
games at Amsterdam
MY age and occupations do not
permit me to be a competing ath-
lete," said M. Poincare, ''but both as
President of the republic and premier,
have always sought to encourage
sports. and you can rest assured that
| shall continue to do all that de-
pends on myself for it's development. /"
M. POincare has been voted "the

~ aggregation ever brought
NN together under a single
independent basket bal
league in the District, the
Washington Recreation League laid
plans for a tri-schedule program this
season at the meeting Of team rep
resentatives held yesterday afternoon
at the Young Women's Christian
Association.
According to the plan adopted,
three loops will probably be or
ganized--senior, intermediate and
junior--with six or seven teams
competing in each loop. Fifteen
teams already have entered the
league and with prospects of five
more, officials agreed that in order
to run off the schedules with the
maximum dispatch, the three di-
visions would be necessary.
Not only the number of squads
competing led to this decision. The
groups range from beginners teams
to experienced passers and, In order
to make competition interesting. it
was thought advisable to classify the
groups.
The teams will be expected to as
sess their players 81 each. From this
fund, IS will be paid into the league
treasury by junior and interr 'ediate
squads and So by senior groups The
league will bear all expenses of off,
cials instead Of the competing squads
as in the past.
Louise Sullivan, vice president of
the circuit, will act as general basket
ball manager. She will have COM
plete charge of the schedule, officials,
protests and any other matters con-
nected with the administration of
schedule.
The championship team In each
series probably will be rendered a
banquet by the other teams at the
close Of the season. according to

Dan Caulkins. one Of the best quar-

much of the play. but he rounded
into excellent trim by the time for the
Swarthmore game, as did Joe Prem
dergast. Accordingly, when we went
to Harvard we felt that we would be
able to win even If we were unable to
play Slagle, as Baruch had developed
into good kicker and passer. though

We were In quandary about Sla-

game. He had been to. Johns Hopkins

patrick until almost starting time. SO
we finally decided to put him in. fig

All our other cripples were in shape,
