MANDAN CAGEMEN
REPORT FOR DRILL
Eight Lettermen to Compete
For Berths on Brave High
School Team

Mandan pinned its hopes of win
ming district basketball champion
ship on 18 candidates selected to com
pete for berths on the first team, ali
of whom reported to Coach Leonard
NTcMahan Monday for the first Of
ficial practice of the season.
The candidates were selected from
50 boys who have been practicing un-
officially for the last two weeks.
According to McMahan. players
selected for the temporary first squad
were recruited from among those who
had seen action, either with the
Braves or the Papooses last year.
Eight lettermen, headed by Captain
Lloyd Dietrich, are back in harness
and competition for first-string as
signments is expected to be the
closest in the history of the Mandan
high school.
In addition to the returning vet
erans, McMahan has several prolnis-
ing performers who saw service with
the reserves last year and who are
expected to put in strong bids for
places on the first team.
The returning lettermen are Diet
rich, Byerley, Spielman, B h m,
Saunders, Hecker, Solum and Smith.
All of them are seasoned veterans
and they are expected to shape up
into one of the strongest teams in
the state.
McMahan said he has no intention
of bringing his charges along too fast
and that he will stress fundamentals
during the first few days of practice.
Dahlquist, who developed into a
stellar halfback during the football
season, was unable to report for prac-
tice. He sustained fractured leg in
the game with Minot and will be kept
out of athletics for another two
months.
High school authorities still are
working on the Brave schedule, which
is expected to be completed within
the next few days.

Pinchot last night asSailed the

for tax funds which he demanded

The Pennsylvania uttered his
challenge almost at the door of the
white house, speaking at gathering
Of the District of ColumbiaS league
of women voters.
Speaking in a. steady, even tone,
Pinchot asserted "local relief means
making the poor man pay" From it,
he contended, would come an i'll
crease in property taxes, either now
or very shortly.
THAT program can start no fac

program we have been committed.

one of the special Affections Of wom-
en-, can be seen with the rays at an
earlier stage than it can now be de-
tacted by any other method.
X-rayS have been used for years
to detect expected motherhood, but
in the early stages some sort Of in
ternal coloring was needed to make
the picture apparent. DR.. A. Jerome
Thomas of Shreveport, Louisiana has
discovered how to do it with no more
bother than sitting for an X-ray pic
ture.
He began two years ago by making
some unusual dolls, all models Of
prenatal children, patterned from life.
These he set up behind living per-
sons, and through their bodies took
X-ray pictures. In this way he learn
ed how to read the meanings of faint
shadows which the new type X-ray
films show in taking living persons.

. Reorganized in 1913
In 1913, the North Dakota I'm
provement company was placed in
the hands Of q receiver and reorgan-
lied to form the Western Realty COM
pany Of Fargo. Officers Of the firm
contend that at the time there were
mortgages and liens against the COM
pany aggregating $4,000, all past
due.
In its brief, the defendant COM
pany contends that dividends Of the
past six years enabled the firm to
pay off all indebtedness and to have
on hand from the sale Of property In
excess Of $153, ,270 which the board Of
directors proposed to distribute to the
preferred stockholders. This financial
standing was brought about, the brief
says, through conservative policies OF
the board Of directors.
A special meeting was called to act
on resolution to reduce the prefer
red capital stock and the officials
claim such a resolution was lawfully
passed. The officials brief denies
any fraud or violation Of the charter
or state laws. It Is claimed that the
$1,500 allowed for attorneys fees by
the district court Is contrary to law.
Oral arguments have been heard
by the supreme court and the mat
ter is under consideration.
