The Tournament

School days are great days. They are the period OF
life particularly endowed with happy enthusiasts. They
are the play time.
A splendid inspiration has taken this spirit Of en-
thusiasm, this period Of ~playtine, and converted them
into youthful epics such as the interscholastic sport conf
petitions. for the moulding Of self-reliant character. An
amazing influence for good has been found to operate
through these.
This good has not only manifested itself among the
teams but has extended itself to the public. Men who
no longer play the physical sports Of the gymnasium.
the track or the field, find q sort IT personal indentifca-
ton by proxy with the thrill Of it. SO these big inter-
scholastic events have become, as well, show days for the
public.
The state basketball tournament now in its closing
day at the state industrial school at Mandan is one Of
these outstanding sport s~pectacles. This section Of the
state is glad to have 1t staged here and always has sup
ported 1t generously. The incident Of an unruly river
this year interrupting access by highway to the tourna-
ment merely revealed the loyalty Of the two communities
to the event, when they cxerted themselves to obtain
special train service, that the usual large attendance
should suffer no diminution.
This spirit Of loyalty manifests itself In so many other
ways. It is shown In the pride which leads the partic-
;pating communities to support and encourage their
home teams. Then it is exhibited in that greater sense
in which rivalries are submerged, in the chivalric COM
victors.
All these things make for better manhood and better
community brotherhood and for the upbuilding of that
larger community, the state, Of which the competing
towns and cities are SO many loyal units.

WHEN YOUR NOSE KNOWS

WHEN YOUR NOSE KNOWS
A woman who WA unable to smell
went into q basement where q gas main
was leaking. She remained until she
was unconscious. when Q relative hap
pened to smell the gas, hunted for It,
and found her. Most Of US could
have easily detected the faintest gas
leak. Indeed, the nose often warns
us Of dangers even though we DO not
regard the sense Of smell as very I'm
portant. It Is very easy for US, for
example, to detect the odor Of burn
ing wood or cloth.
Most OF u take the sense Of smell
as a matter Of course until we get q
cold and then we find that many
foods do not taste quite right This
is because the sense Of smell Is closely
tied in with the sense Of taste. It Is
said that n with q total loss Of
smell can detect very little difference
in the flavor Of an apple from an
onion. The sense Of smell is vitality
bound up with the appetite. A dish
that smells good to Is when sitting
down to the table starts q flow Of the
digestive juices in the mouth and
stomach which in turn aids q lazy
digestion.
Sometimes doctors have such q del
icate sense of smell that they car de.
termine the different odors Of the
skin in health and disease. and can
often determine the disease from the
odor alone. Whenever one has q
foul p~erspiration, there Is sure to be
some diseased condition Of The body
accompanying 1t.
The more civilized q man r. the less
he Is able to smell keenly. It Is said
that the s~nake-eattng tribes Of
Queensland are able to follow the
trail Of the boa for many miles, as
they particularly prize this reptile III
making their snake stew.
/, The wet posed animals, such as the
dog or cat, can recognize the direction
from which an odor comes, but before
q man can do as well he has to wet
his finger in his mouth and then hold
it up and he can then tell that the
of,r comes from the direction that
his finger is coolest.
The emotions are very closely re-
