JAY-Hl DEFEATS
 D'M0LAY;C,BR0S. BEAT BUTCHERS
Local High School Wins First Game 20 to l0-
 Grocers Win 4l-2

Juneau High School, in it's first match play of the season, made a favorable impression on local fans when it trimmed a DeMolay quin- tet 20 to 10 in the first game of a doubleheader in the High Schoo! gym last night In the second game, George Brothers five smoth- cred the United Meat Al to 2 in the most one-sided game of the Channel Basketball League sched- ule.
 Jay-Hi took the lead at the start and was never headed In the second half, its defensive play was functioning almost perfectly and the DeMolays registered but two points on two free throws.
 Nikish High Man
 Billy Niklsh, center for Jay-Hi, led his team in scoring with eight points. Henning, who played but two quarters, was second with seven. The DeMolays, just or ganized, made an excellent show ing in the first half and were trailing but two points at the half way post, the score being to T. In the second half they were bad ly outclassed and the High School score was kept down by poor shoot ing.
 Both teams used numerous sub stitutes, which didn't speed the game up any.
 Grocers Are Hot
 The Grocers were in fine form last night and the Butchers nev- CT had a look-in. The latter's only score came on sensational long shot by Herrin, substitute center After they had gone scoreless for three whole quarters, in the final spasm, Herrin caged the casaba from back of the center circle for his teams two points.
 The Grocers' defense was air. tight and shots for the Butchers were as scarce as Republicans in Alaska's late Territorial election. They had only 35 tries at the net and most of them were of the long distance variety.
 Baker, bespectacled center for the Grocers, led the team in scor- ing with IA points. . Burke was second with 10 and Orme third with eight.

sacrifices.
One woman wrote: This check is

Please give it to any of the opportunities.
They all are worthy. We had to give

be able to be together. So I know what

school teachers have taken up collec-

Among gifts from teachers were sum
of $3.50 from teachers OF divisions 10

goal fixed in several of these oppor-

Balanced Diet Imperative.

must be granted precedence over fruits,
fresh vegetables, milk and eggs; but
balanced diet, the report insists, Is i'm
perative to health and should be had at
all costs to avoid the complication of
the relief problem by widespread dis
ease.
In deciding upon the composition OF
any ratiCn, due consideration must be
given TO the following. basic principles:
Caloric value sufficient 10 maintain the
body in good health over long period
protection against deficiency diseases
and lack of physical vig-r Cvitamins and
minerals balance between proteinS,
carbohydrates and fats, bulk cost, pal
atability and variety, simplicity and
availability"
The Subsistence School, the report
continues. has adopted the figure of
$500 calorieS as representing the ap-
proximate daily requirements Of an az
erage man doing little or no muscular
work. child over y years Of age or
woman at moderate work This is about
ore-half the requirement of a soldier
performing routine duties
However. weight of the individual
has much to do with calorific require
mentS. The requirements OF children
increase with growth. A man weigh
ing $50 pounds requires about 1900
calories daily. while a man weighing
l25 pounds requires only 2,400 calories,
il both are at sedentary occupations.
Some small individuals may require
more calories than larger persons. al

said today the population of Chicago re-
malned virtually stationary at approx
mately 100000 during 1882.
The usual annual gain is $4,000. he
said, in explaining it did not take place
this year because hundreds of families
deserted the city for the farm, while
the normal exodus from farm to city
was not evident.
Other reasons he ascribed for the
failure of the city to grow were de-
creased immigration, fewer marriages,
lower birth rates and lower death rates.
However. he said a change was ex-
pected next year, and that by 1910
Chicago probably would have 100000
