SPORT
CHAT

Everyone who ever played hockey
of wants to learn hockey is cordially
invited to be present at meeting to
be held at E. {. Davis & Company's
store in Augusta at 7:15 this evening.
Percy Jarvis, Fred Owen and severa!
other hockey enthusiasts will get to-
gether and make plans for an Au-
eusta City League this winter. There
is plenty of material in Augusta and
the winter sport should attract its
share of patrons. This is an open
meeting and it is hoped that every
hockey player and fan will be pres
emit. The meeting will be short one
and will be finished in time to give
those attending chance to see the
Legion 5owdoin Indepe ndant basket
ball game in City Hall at o'clock.
Pennington Normal school has a
sweet basketball combination this
winter. The club has beaten kent'S
Hill, Jaw High. and Rangeley High
school twice and is going down east
seeking bigger anr better opponents.
Dearborn, former basketball star at
the Universiu of Maine is coaching
the team.
Don Brennan's Higgins team is
coming down to Augusta this week
end to play a basketball game with
Vivkery & Hill. The game will be
held either Friday or Saturday, and
definite announcement as to the exact
date will be made tomorrow. Don's
team will be backing a good club and
will have to be good to travel along
at the clip the Printers are capable
of travelling.
incidentally that pass from Trask
to Winslow cutting in under the bas-
ket has spoiled lot of teams
chances this winter. The two mem
bers of the Publishers have this little
play down to science and it has
worked a lot of damage in every
game V&H has figured in this win
ter. The Printers look very good to
capture the Augusta City League
honors this winter.
Abe American Legion is playing
down at Bath Friday night and they
will have their work cut out for
them. The Bath team is minus two
of last years regulars but is rated
as tough club just the same. Bill
Perkins is still playing with the Sea-
porters, which is enough to make
them dangerous.
Augusta fans will see the best
teams in the state in action this win
ter as either the Legion or Vickery &
Hill will play all the fast company
there is in sight. Bath. Bangor,
Portland, and possible the Fern
woods of New York City Gill all be
offered dates and the game should
enjoy prosperous season with such
teams playing in Augusta against
local favorites.

DRUSE LOVES HIS
WIFE AND WEAPONS
Exemplary Morality Marks
WarIike Tribesmen; Youth
Must Prove VaI0r.

SOUEIDA, Djebel Druse, August
THE Dl-use loves three things
above all; his wife, his weapons and
his horse.
The Druse morals are of exemplary
purity. The slightest flirt on the part
of the woman is punishable with
death. Never can the young Druse
woman who has been careless enough
to allow her admiration and love for
some young warrior bold to become
too visible hope to marry the choice
of her heart.
Cheer Husbands to War.
The women play a great part in the
preparation of a Druse military eXpe-
ditiOn. When the tribesmen mount
their horses and sally forth to war
only their wives and the elderly
women of the tribe have a right to
range themselves along their passage
and chant cries of encouragement.
The young girls must remain home.
If the advancing cavalier. waving his
scimitar or his rifle in honor of the
cheering, singing women, is Il veteran
of many campaigns, the women cry:
You have right to salute us and he
proud. we know your valorous deeds. "
Should the passing horseman be 60
ing to war for the first time, however,
they shout: BE humble. We shall
see you at work, then decide whether
you are worthy Of our cheers"
But it is in nursing the wounded
back to health that the Druse women
render the most valuable services to
their warriors. Handed down to them
from generations of warfare, their
knowledge of surgery and medicine
makes a practical trained nurse out
of every mother and sister of the
men in the field. They manufacture
their own balm and drugs out Of
herbs. and although not officially
known as such, can boast of one Of
the best Red Cross societies in the
world
