In the state independent tourna.

Elks went down In defeat before the
Lansford quint, runnerups in the
state tournament. Bismarck won
from Lansford 81 to 80, but had to
forfeit its chances at the state title
because Of using an ineligible man.
Minot has been doing considerable
playing since the state tournament,
and admit that they are now about
the best in North Dakota.
Bismarck has its clean slate to

Miami Beach. Fla.-Bill Terry lets

Clown Hall"

In name, at least, Washington Is to
have town hall. Congress may keep
the District voteless, but the circum-
stance makes all the easier the adop-
ton of a presumptive civic title for
an institution which actually has
nothing whatever to do with authentic
city business.
THE Town Hall Of Washington, +"
however, is an exceedingly interesting
enterprise, worthy Of the support OF
a large public. Sponsored by a
board CT trustees whose president is
Huston Thompson and an executive
committee whose chairman is John
w. Studebaker, it will strive to do
for the Capital what similar estab-
lishment in New York has been doing
for that community for many years. 1t
will bring to local audiences outstand-
ing interpreters of national and inter-
national questions, who will lead
forum discussions in which all present
will be invited to participate.
To illustrate the purpose and func-
ton of the work, two quotations are
cited. The first is from the pen of
the first President, and reads as
follows:
Promote. then, as an object Of pri-
mary importance, institutions for the
general diffusion of knowledge. In
proportion as the structure Of gov
ernment gives force to public opinion,
it is essential that public opinion
should be enlightened.
The second was written by the Chief
Executive now in office:
We need to have meeting places for
the discussion of public questions, in
the cities, hamlets and on the farms
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land.
Such an ideal, shared by George
Washington and Franklin D. Roose-
welt, must be fundamentally American
If the Capital cannot have a town
hall in the true meaning of the word,
it is good that it can have one in the
more modern If less exact meaning.
