Mr.. James sperrits by making note
OF how his hair acts. When he's raring
round, feeling fltten to bust, you'll
notice as how every hair on his haid
Is standing upon its hind laigs looking
the world in the face and shouting
"Howdy.'"
The Judge laughed. Sounds like
Gorgon's head. the way you de-
scribe It,"
Eyes, sir" said Nappy. who had
never heard Of q Gorgon's head, but
would not have admitted 1t for q hum
dred dollars. "It's one and the same
thing to my way Of believing"
But what has James hair been
doing now to disturb you?"
1T amt been doing nothing but lay
down and play daid for weeks and
weeks. That's as unnatural as for q
lamb to lay down with q lion-and as
sure sign q trouble"
Nonsense" said the Judge. "Jim'a
been putting some kind Of grease on
his head to make 1t lie nat. You're
not as smart as I thought you were
going around making up trouble about
nothing at all"
But though he dismissed Nappy and
laughed ct his diagnosis, he could not
dismiss altogether the sneaking sus-
picion that perhaps Nappy was right
and that James was not looking nor
acting quite like himself.
He'd get him to knock of o few
weeks, 60 down to Hot Springs or UP
to Chicago and take in a few shows
A vacation would put him right as q
fiddle. He should have thought OF
1t before.
James dutifully took Sane and went
to Chicago for q week, but when he
came back Nappy reported that his
hair was laying" as fiat as when he
left home. A few weeks later when
James conf1ded James condition to the
Judge, the old man was enormously
relieved.
He patted James on the back, as
sured him cheerfully that there was
nothing to worry about, reminded him
Of James general health and of the
billions Of babies who came safely into
the world without harm to their
mothers.
Then the Judge very wisely set
James to work on the very stiffest
legal problem he had ever before had
to handle and when he finished that,
Immediately found him another. This
last probably saved James from going
all to pieces In the following months,
for he was horribly frightened think
ing Of the fate Of his own mother.
Nappy continued to accord to Mrs.

Card Tourney Results
Tom Koran and his Boy Won
ders made a valiant attempt to
gain first place in the st Francis
Holy Name forty-five tourney last
night and rolled up 40 games, but
they failed to make much head
way in the standing as Joe Phe-
Ian and his AllAmericans con-
tinued their fine playing and
chalked up SO games, thus keep
ing q 13-game lead over Horan's
team. The Boy Wonders had easy
going and defeated Joyce's team
40 to % while the All-Americans
trimmed Dennihan's Warriors 81
to 81, with but one more week to
play, it is more than safe to say
at this time, that Joe Phelan and
his boys will walk off with the
honors this year and Tommy Hor-
an and his group will have to be
content with second place in the
standing. The Boy Wonders have
won the honors for the past two
years and have made a great run
for the honors again this year.

Aprovechando las ~facilidades de diffusion que en- es-
tos tiempos esta aportando ell radio, don Joaquin Terra
zas, consul de Mexico en- Los Angeles, dirigio en- dfas pa
sados una platica de caracter educational, tomando para
ell case un tema siempre de palptante actualidad para
nuestras colonias. Sc refiri6 ell representative consular
al problema del idioma nuestro, que AGA Sc corrompe con
tanta facilidad, y recomendo a los padres de fami,ia la
practica constante de nuestra lengua, y un afan continue
para que sus hijos la aprendan y la conseryen hmpia.
Este problema, entire los muchos que trae la convi-
vencia con una civilization y una lengua distintas, es,
quizas, ell mas delicado de cuantos encaran las colonias
mexicanas establecidas Ell este pals. Los ninos, que apar-
tie ell roce diario con gentes de habla inglesa, reciben en-
ingles su instruction, y dentro de este idioma van desarro-
llando su espiritu y enmarcando sus conocimientos, tie

cesidades de la epoca, ell avance de la ciencia, y ell progre-
so del pensamiento. Pero este enriquecimiento, al cual
no puede substraerse ell idioma castelano, NADIA tiene que
yer con las corrupciones a que antes nos referimos, y las
que tanto preocupan al consul de Mexico en- Los Angeles.
Bien esta que 81 la lengua nuestra carece de un vocablo
propio, Sc 10 apropie, con las modificaciones que eXige la
