last half, and managed to beat out
the Castilians, who led at the end
of the first half, % to 16. Lock-
well, pivot man for the new cham
pions, was the star of the fray, al
though he was outscored by Hobbs
of New Castle. Lockwell split the
cords for six field goals while Rem
ME, who opposed him, failed to Sc
cure counter. Hobbs gathered
seven field and three foul goals for
II points.
Better work from the foul line
provided the winning edge for the
Newark girls. Laurel outscored
them 10 to 8 from the field but the
college town lassies more than
made this up with 10 foul goals to
two for their opponents. Captain
Chalmers tossed these 10 foul goals
and six field goals for Newark.

A RACE OF HUNTERS

IN especially interesting race
IA of people are the Hamrans,
a tribe belonging to the Nubian
race and ranging the Nile Valley.
The tribe Is of great hunting
stock. Arabs, and of medium
stature, they are most fearless in
the hunt for big game. The
average height Of these people is
feet 8 inches and they rely
chiefly on agility, swiftness and
courage, rath er than upon
strength or huge stature.
Their principal weapon is a
two-edged sword about three feet
long. which may be neld with
both hands. Their method OF
hunting elephants is, perhaps,
their most dangerous and CLAM
orous activity. This fearless tribe
hunts its quarry either on foot
or on horseback. In the former
case they usually stalk the ami

A POLAR EDEN"
By Garrett P. Serviss

During all the Tertiary Age,
which followed the age Of the
great saurian monsters, this eli
matte change continued with ac-
celeration. 1t was accompanied
by continuous advance Of modern
forms Of plant life, characteristic
OF the temperate zone, these plants
having originated within the Arctic
Circle. Before the time Of this
invasion from the north, all the
types of plant life, then distri.
buted over the world, were akin
to those which today are found
growing only within the tropics.
Plants Evolved
But with the climatic rearrange.
ment plants began to evolve in ac-
cordance with the influences of
the successive climatic zones. 1.-THE
higher forms Of Towering plants, /"
according to DR.. Hollick, ARE pri-
marily adaptations of a climate
of alternating warm and cold sea.
sons and their final invasion of
the still uniform warm tropics has
been recent. and is a matter of
competition with the plants they
found there rather than q re.
Spouse to climatic urge. And 1t Is
in the tropics today that the only
relics Of the vegetation OF an
earlier world, he cycads and sim
liar plants, remain to contest with
the late coming modern plants for
q foothold."
Although DR.. Hollick does not
discuss the subject of human
migration from the direction OF
the Arctic, it may be noted that
the time which he fixes for the
advance of the climatic change
nearly corresponds with the most
recent date given to the earliest
human remains found in the tenn
perate zone.

The New Sex.AntagOnism
Is there a new sex-antagonism7
There has always been talk of
"sex.antagonism' ever since Adam

and ordered Eve to make it into

seems to have been WOMAN'S
antagonism against the ''tyrant.

Now. the tables have been

party.
Even in the modern mans love-
making there is defiant. catch
me-if-you-can' attitude, which
starts the whole thing off with a
war-cry.
When men made "playthings'
of women they used to preserve
the outward appearance of chiv-
airy and devotion. Now a man no
longer reverentIy kisses a wom-
ans finger-tips; he doesn't even
take a girl tenderly in his arms.
He Just craps her around the
neck, and BESTOWS a kiss upon
her-almost defiantly.
He no longer fights for her
1ove-he fights AGAINST it with
all his mind and with all his heart
and with all his sixty-horse won't
power!
He no longer pets her with that
gallant protecting air, and talks
baby-taIk to her--he just leans
back and grudgingly permits her
to pet HIM.
Darling" sweetheart" and
beautiful lady, are obsolete
terms. His tenderest nicknames
are '.Cutey," good old thing"
and "funny-face. !"
His fondest and most ardent
manner is a sort of good-ratured
Joshing which would have sent
the old-fashioned girl running to
Father in tears.
His loye-making is as casual

The william in the old-fashioned
loye-story had at least the grace
to PRETEND he was going to
marry the girl. But the modern
hero takes no such chances. He
looks coldly into her eyes and de-
fies her to marry him.
Men have always defended
themselves against women, Sc
cretly-but now they sopenly defy
them. The war Of the sexes is
no. longer matter of subtle

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Does a widow or grass
widow ever wear her wedding
ring on her right hand? What
does one think of her IL she does?
2. In eating bouillon from a
bouillon cup does one use a spoon
at first and then lift the cup to
the mouth? ii.
1t would not be good taste for
a widow to wear her wedding
ring on her right hand. The fin
ger on which her rings were put
in the sacred ceremony would be
the sacred finger to her. and
see no reason why she should
change the position. 1t would
seem a bizarre thing for her to
do, and would be judged so by
her friends.
Bizarre would also be the
word that would designate the
way her friends would feel about
the divorcee who would wear her
rings on her right hand. l can
understand the fact that she
would not want to wear her
rings any more-they could so
easily be abhorrent to her. But
l cannot understand why she
would want to change them to
another hand--this would mean
that she values the rings them.

any sentiment ever connected
with them. That is, she wants
to wear, say, a diamond, no mat
ter what that diamond may for

of view lacks delicacy and real

2. Yes, when we eat bouiIlon

heat of the broth by using the
spoon for the first few sips, and
then we slowly drink the rest of
