COuLEE DROPS DOUBLE
HEADER TO NEPPEl

Coulee lost both ends of a doub
lie header here last Friday night.
The Coulee girls gave a COON &C
count of themselves and lost a
close hard battle 10 to 8. Each
team scored four field baskets. but
! Coulee could not canvert their
| foul shots.
The Neppel boys, doped to be the
best team in the county, lived up
to their reputation, but they were
pressed hard all the way. Coulee
was minus the services of David
Spurbeck, captain and star guard
of the Giants. David had played in
As consecutive games for the
Giants, but finally took the count.
We all hope he will soon be back
in shape. His place was taken by
Winton Craig, a sophomore. This
was Winton's first stringer and he
gave a good account of himself.
Coulee started off with bang
with Jack Ford sinking the first
basket. The first quarter ended 3
to 3. Neppel found the basket once
in the next quarter and converted
two foul shots. The half ended
with Neppel leading Z to 3. In the
third quarter Neppel found the bals
ket only once, while Coulee CO.
verified free throw.
Going into the final quartz the
score was 9 to A. This sho1e that
Coulee was playing a g90E defens

Coulee materially nd Neppel made
seven points while our boys found
the basket once. The final score
was 16 to 6, which certainly wasn't
bad considering the type of team

TRAFFIC LAWS SHOULD
Be RIG|DLY ENFORCED

Of all the weapons being used
to combat motor traffic accidents,
enforcement is ultimately the most
important. This is not to minimize
the vital need for such primary
measures as education an engineer
ing, for education Is great hope
and oal9 through it can we achieve
the Ideal Of self enforcement. Traf
fic engineering is fast develop
in science which can and does 90
far in reducing the probability of
motor accidents caused by faults
in streets and highway design and
construction. Nevertheless, until
education teaches the motors'
better habits and a proper respec,'
for the added advantages given by
traffic engineering safety, enforce
ment must assume the practical
leadership in accident reduction.
People who are otherwise law
abiding, deliberately break the
traffic laws every day. The result
last year was $4,000 killed and
close to million injured. The pol
ice cannot afford to let down in
teir enforcement efforts rather
must they intensity them. Probab
ly the frat requisite for good en-
foTcement is good laws to enforce.
The truth of this statement is prov
ed by a survey made by the Nation
al Bureau of Casualty and Surety
Underwriters. This survey showed
that the trend in the ratio of mot
or accidents fatalities to gasoline
consumption increased 20 per cent
in giy re in pf OF of
having no drivers license laws.
while at the same time. it decreas
ed rs per cent in those states with
standard license laws. So long as
the law itself is lax. not only about
licenses but also about the whole
motor vehicle code, it cannot be
surprising thai the motorist is also
lax
A second requisite of good en-
forcement is intelligent application
of the law. All offending motorists
are not alike, either in their atti
tude or the degree of their offense.
The police officer has the right to
abuse his authority by abusing
motorist where harshness is not
called for The "bawling OUT
should be saved for the extreme of
fender. The average violator. being
the average man, is anlenab1e to
reason. The policeman who can eX
plain how the safety of the attend
er and of others has been endang
cred by an illegal or an unsafe prac
tice and who is equipped as we'll
to demonstrate staistically the toll
taken by that particular violation,
10 "a tityotr RI win
to the good driving idea. Correo
ton aid not punishment is the aim
of modern traffic law enforcement
Real enforcement, therefore, is
self enforcement Death and destru
ctions on street and highways will
practically cease when every driver
and every pedestrian becomes
| his own agent of enforcement

Potash and Bromine Are
Plentiful in Dead Sea

Hebrew writer's refer to the ex-
istence of brass and iron in Pal
estine, but not to gold. Dead Sea
Fruit" is a proverbial saying, yet
the Dead sea may prove to be the
gold mine of this country, the Ma
tional Geographic society reports.
During the ages the Jordan has
been bringing down in its rushing
waters, from the hot springs Of
Galilee, about 10000 tons of pot
ash annually, to be deposited In
the sterile waters Of this demoniac
sea whose surface lies 1900 feet be-
low sea level, and whose maximum
depth is still another 1900 feet
lower.
: For centuries heavy evaporation
during nine months of the year has
carried away the surplus water,
leaving behind quantities Of potash
and bromine, until the waters are
so impregnated that practically no
form of life can exist therein. Brine
10 pumped through deep-sea pipe
line to enormous evaporation pans,
and a distillery plant is located at
the northern end of the Salt sea.
Thus Palestine Is placed in the
foremost rank Of potash and bro
mineproducing countries. Yearly
production Of potash will eventu-
ally reach 100000 tons. The Dead
sea is rich in bromine, and its use
In chemical compounds and in the
production Of gasoline is increas-
ing.

PERSONALITIES
By Nellie DOdsOn


Looks as if the old days of Col
lege Inn have returned! Out-of-
town collegians are once more ask
ing campus gels to provide them
with tops of stockings for skull
caps! The browning glory must be
all in order, y'know, and when lads
are away from home, bacheloring
in kitchenette apartments, the
tops of ladies' stockings aren't so
easily found. So all of you VIM
men who have some old socks had
better save 'em and then shoot 'em
out to the campus where they will
be put into the hands of the proper
persons. No foolin'!
Also, some of the out-of-town
bachelors have been going around
asking for recipes to aid them in
their cooking! They do get 5000
tired of eating out of cans and pa
per bags, poor children. Every
once in a while some plying femme
gets big-hearted and cooks a meal
or two for them. I've heard that
one young man proposes marriage
to every femme who cooks him a
swell feed. So far, he's been re-
fused, but one of these days he
might ask one of these overly-anx-
ious maidens and be accepted so
quickly he won't know how it all
happened!
LOUIS MASON showed up at
school t. other mawning with very
visible marks of ipstick plastered
over his face.
II can't get the stuff off," he
moaned. ave tried everything /:
soap and water, cold cream, and
more soap and water"
But Louis is a man of honor, and
he wouldn't reveal the source of
the marks. PETE THATCHER
looked at him intently for a mo-
ment and then drawled: "Well, I
wish you'd tell me who she is so
I can keep out of her wayI"
I only wish I knew the brand of
ipstick that is so lasting! Mine
won't stay on two minutes. I
mean it won't stay on ME- two min
utes.
This and That: According to o.
o. Mcintyre, JOSEPHINE BAK-
Err is the richest colored femme
in the world. And according to
Winchell, NOBLE SISSLE and his
crew are packing 'em in at that
French" in New York where the
girlies in the chorus dance in the
altogether. What University
of Minnesota instructor, who was
a former foreign correspondent,
SEE that 10 BAKER has too beau
tiful a chassis to cover up with
anything more than a coupla' fig
leaves? (He saw her trip the
fantastic with even the fig leaves
missinO. What TWENTIETH
CENTURY club member, at a re-
cent club meeting, got phone call
from certain young lady and,
as soon as he hung up, dashed
madly out of the meeting. The
rest of the boys were so curious
that they just had to get their
heads together and speculate on
who the mysterious femme was.
After a great deal of head-scratch-
ing, they finally decided on her
identity - and decided WRONG!
'Twasn't that one attall, so there.
