 The high school boys showed evi- dences of very good material and should go a long way this year after a little practice. Grant, Be- hoyic, and Berkeley each put in their share of baskets while Dick Johnson showed up well also. L.. Broad was held down by an Insti- ute guard and only garnered one basket and a foul.
 Morris Grant, Harvey Williams, Stanley and Lincoln Peratroyich all were even for top honors with 6 points each.

DENTIST CITES REMARKABLE
 TEETH OF A PRIMITIVE GROUP

A dentist writing in Oral Hygiene tells this story:
 "In the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South Africa, lies the little spot of land called Tristran da Cunha, a British possession. Some years ago a health examination was held on this island and the report was so astounding that it was al- most a reflection upon the credu- lity of the examiners. Those preyi- ous examiners have now been com- pletely vindicated.
 During a visit of H. NJ. S. Car lisle, Surgeon Commander Bee with the assistance of Mir. J. R. A. Moore, president of the Dental Society of the Cape Province, examined all of the one hundred and fifty-six in habitants, ranging in age from in fancy to ninety-two years of age. All are white people of British de- scent. No diseases of any kind were found among them. The only causes of death are accident and old age; there are no racketeers upon the is- land
 One hundred and thirty-one of the inhabitants were found to have teeth entirely free from decay and their general condition was report ed to be perfect. Of the twenty-five other inhabitants the condition Of the teeth was so much better than of ha fnsvnH In oil of the rest of the civilized world that they deserved an average of 95 per cent. Samuel Swain. who has reached the mature age of seventy five years. has a complete set of natural teeth without one particle of dental carries. He can justly rate as a Dental Marvel.
 Just think of an island so heal thy without dentists or physicians and so happy without lawyers. Something must be wrong. MT. Moore lets the secret out: As a per fec;ly ethical and orthodox dentist he says the dental condition of the islanders is beyond the experience of dentists anywhere in the world.
 
 With this statement we can all agree.
 Now, MT. Moore says. in spite of the fact that "a clean tooth never decays" these islanders never clean their teeth and in spite of the fact that hard chewing is good ex- ercise for the teeth, the islanders live entirely upon soft foods. Their staple diet Is potatoes. fish, milk, and eggs. Possibly there is some thing in this fact: they eat only one kind of food at a time.
 Certainly a careful study should be made of these remarkable people if the study can be made without carrying to them any of the ills that afflict the rest of mankind. If they know what is good for them, they will keep the rest of us out. :"

Junior Home Room II, under di-
rection of Mrs. Cassida, were in
charge of the Valentine Assembly
presented on Wednesday morning
during Assembly period.
The main parts of the program
consisted of five tableaux portray
ing historically famous pairs of low
ers. Each scene was framed by a
huge heart thru which the actors
stepped to seats arranged in the
room after each tableau. The ac-
count of each love scene was read
as the tableau was presented.
The first tableau portrayed Queen
Esther and King Ahasuerus. Mil
dred Hansen and Joseph Williams
were the characters. The second was
Romeo and Juliet with Olive Leask
and Mike Johns taking the parts.
The third was Hiawatha and Mime
haha with Clara Teller and Homer
Williams in the parts. The fourth
was Priscilla and John Alden with
Margaret Fred and Wallace johnson
enacting the parts. The last tableau
was of John Smith and Pocahontas
with Esther Boyd and BUGGY Wal
lace in the parts.
Each tableau was beautifully pre-
scented with each character in a cos
tune representing the time of the
scene.
After the program the Valentine
Box which was put in the hall sew
eral weeks ago was opened and lit
orally hundreds of valentines were
distributed to students and staff.

SOlCanO
For Rheumatism and
Stomach Troubles

Soicano comes from a natural
mineral salts deposit in the
State of Washington near Okla
hogan. These deposits are the
purest of its kind in the world.
1t is thought by many that the
sun imparts an energy to these
salts that accounts partly for
the excellent results obtained
with Solcano, in treating stom-
ach troubles and allied all
ments.
The salts are put through a
patented process by the Spoka-
nongan Chemical Co., and only
the insolubles removed and the
water eliminated thereby leav-
ing a 100 per cent pure product
and entirely moisture free.
An eight-ounce can will be
sent postpaid on receipt of one
dollar.

PEP CLUB

To insure an abundaace of good
songs and yels and to maintain a
high, school sni'.it, the students of
the Institute have recently organ
lied a Pep Club" Regular weekly
meetings are held each week and
yells and songs are practiced. Sew
eral contests have also been fostered
to obtain material for new songs and
wells.
The object of the Pep Club" has
evidently been attained from the
remarks heard from folks who at
tend the games. The Institute has
the finest roofing section heard in
Wrangell for a long time. Keep it
up, Pep Club!

teams the Institute boys showed the
best form that they have this year.
Their offense penetrated the High
School defense time after time but
a number of cripple shots were miss
ed. The Institute defense worked
we'll for the first time this year and
the High School found it difficult
to work the ball in near the basket.
This was one of the fastest and
cIeanest games seen this year on the
court. Skan was high man for the

4 GOOD many people last week
~ we're bemoaning Yale's decrepit
foot ball situation and condition,
getting real sympathetic about it, too,
but when the returns came in Satur-
day night and it was found that the
Dark Blue had whipped Brown by
81 to 0 it began to seem that a diff
ferent story may be sung about this
years Yale team.
Navy's decisive defeat of Columbia
was unexpected. 1t was thought that
win, but doubtful is it that anybody
had a thought they would triumph by
such a wide margin as 1877. Navy's
strength lies largely in the really ex-
ceptional ability of Berries and about
as fine a pair of secondary defense
men in Clark and Robertshaw as any
team should need or want. Then, too,
it must not be forgotten that Navy is
well coached eleven. 1t was men,
toned in this column early in Septem-
ber that Tom Hamilton would do well
with whatever material he had, and
certainly he is measuring up. Since
Hamilton brought a fine Coast Guard
eleven here few years ago and whip
ped the Quantico Marines there has
never been any doubt in the mind of
anybody who saw that game about the
ability of the Navy man to build up a
good foot ball team. It makes the
Navy feel rather proud of Hamilton,
too, because he Is one of its own,
having played at the Academy under
Bill Ingram.
CALIFORNIA and Stanford won
I their games Saturday with place
kicks. Many schools are begin
ming to realize that it is just as easy
to kick field goal now from the Is
yard line as 1t was in the old days
from the Is. More and more field
goals are likely to be attempted as the
season goes on.
Last year Washington and Lee went
to Princeton and left the Tiger almost
a shattered animal, so close was
the Southern school to victory. Sat-
urday the Generals were not as far
away from triumph as they were a
year ago, as the score actually was
touchdowns to l in their favor with
only 2 or minutes to be played.
Princeton won by 2 points, finally, the
margin being the difference of points
after two touchdowns.
Harvard took a sound lacing from
Holy Cross by 26 to 6, probably the
worst it has had to take from a smaller
school in long, long while. After
battling the Crusaders down to the
fourth quarter almost on even terms,
the Crimson broke and had 10 points
scored against it.
