NRAUSE, LODGE FIgE: CLASH ON
 COURT TONIGHT
Result Will Have Important Bearing on Title Sab-
 in's Meet Eagles
1:33-KrauSe vs DeMOlay. 8:30-Sabin's vs Eagles.

Results of tonight's basketball game between the Krause Concret- CTS and the DeMolay five will have @ striking effect on the champion ship hopes of three teams in the league. Right now the fraternal five is on top with three wins, no losses. The Concreters are second, with three wins and one loss. The Douglas Eagles are right behind with only one loss. Should the lodgemen win, they would practically cinch the last half championship, as their next and final game af ter tonight is against Sabin's Clothiers, now in the cellar. Their loss would tie up the loop
 Because of the importance of the event, and because the opener brings together two of the strong est outfits on the channel the high school gym should be packed to the rafters tonight. In the nightcap, the Douglas Eagles will be trying to keep in the race with victory over the haberdashers. The Sabins outfit has not won game this half and a vic- tory for them would be one of the biggest upsets of the season.
 First game lineups will be: De- Molay-Lindstrom, f. Davlin, f; Bay CTS, c; Bloomquist, g; and Garnick, g. Krause-Nelson, f; HeppenstalL f; Burnett, c; Brown, g. and John- son, g.

WATER SHORTAGE ACUTE

With nearly all of the town now out of water, efforts are being made today by Mayor A. E. Goetz to con- tact the Alaska Juneau officials with the idea of having some water re- leased from the Treadwell ditch to refill the tank if possible. Some of the homes have been out since the early part of this month, and the supply has diminished steadily every day since then.
 Until such time as the supply in- creases sufficiently to accommodate most of the residences, the water will be shut off periodically on Front, Second and Third streets, to store some little supply and prevent waste, Marshal Bliss reported at noon to- day.

answers such as hearsay, personal prejudice, and faddistic beliefs carry little weight in tho long run. But . truly scientific fact strikes home.
 Among our sources of scientific knowIedgs we have the statistics of life insurance companies. These may be obtained upon request, and they may form the basis of discus sion and project study by high school groups. The findings of re. search laboratcries are also avail able. Tn searching for data, don't overlook the positive scientific knowledge of milk, fruit juices, to- mato juice, and water. In other words, perhaps the best defenss against the early appeal of spirits are habits and attitudes favorable to known heaIthful beverages.

Paris. CUP)--Everything seems to be tailored these days including evening clothes. Some of these new dinner suits are knitted in exquisite yarns which are used to form ira- tricate patterns. silk yarns some- times are used for these dresses which come in a variety of shades.
 Black remains smart for dinner suits and is combined clcverly with 6 waistcoat Of silver, silver sandals and 6 shallow little silver turbali. Black also is worn frightened by other bright shades of street and afternoon wear. Light shades of violet, bright green and . deep crimson are seen most frequently to relieve dead black.
 Evening coats stili retain the "monkish" air with long full folds, topped by q hood. Velvets, of course, are the favored tissues for these coats and capes. Evening caps are trimmed with feathers, flowers or brightly colored jewels and they show a definite upward trend, which is matched by the curls of the cole fure.
 It looks as though hems and bor- ders will play Q large role in spring clothes. Tweeds for early spring suits are woven with interesting borders which will no doubt form the hem line as well as border of the jacket or coat. New linens like- wise feature unusual borders which will be used at the neck and the cuffs of summer clothes.

 O. time I wrote an article that went something like this: "ff three- year-Old Mamie won't get her face washed, or spatters her cereal over the table with her spoon to see how far she can bat, it might be useful to remind her of someone she knows and likes very much. What would Miss Etta say, for instance, if she saw her little friend ell dirty and tousledp Or what would Stubby think, that nice clean little doggie that ate and drank with agility and dispatch and never left a spot on the ' I got some resorts on that one. For goodness Bakel Why couldn't I get over ell that palaver about bad youngsters7 Why did I help to spoil hundreds of small children who needed Q good smack or two to stralghten them outS My Miss EL- ta's." My "stubbie'g." RldiculouSl
 Forget TrOunclngs
 I often wonder how the smack CTS made out. At tho age Of three there Is something mighty pefverse in most children. And unless a child is completely cowed by fear, he Is likely to bob up after q trouncsng as serene as 6 roly-poly ash-stAnd; and do 1t all over again with re- newed Eusto
 The matter that brought this back to memory was Q talk with the mother of q i2-year-old boy. She was very proud of Bucky. Bucky, l I discovered, was as busy as Q frog in the milk pail. And like said frog was asgiduously churning up good footing for the future. He, Bucky, was Scout. He was 6 stamp cole lector. Naturally he had his lessons to do; and, of course, he had to eat, sleep and bathe.
 Dear me, do you ever see him?" wondered. He hardly needs par- cnts at oil, does he?"
 "No, I often think that" she sighed, "But when I consider the influence of the people who are training him, I wouldn't change It.. He adores his orchestra leader, Mfr. Grimm. How could I ever get him to practices I couldn't--that's all. And as for his scout master really, Bucky would go through fire and water for him It is his uncle who got him interested in stamps. They are such friends, and Phil has such Q wonderful influence over him, I often say to Jim, my husband they are more like brothers"
 Pets and Toys Are Heroes, Too
 T think you arc both very wise to sec the influence of fine people and let your boy be guided this way" I agreed. "The combined power of interest, plus certain eagerness to have those whom he adinires think well of him are two tremendous forces. You have your place, they have theirs. Children know very well their status in their parents eyes, but they are seldom quite as anxious to prove themselves to their fathers and mothers as when entirely on their own, removed from routine on. vlronment."
 Back to the babies; what great difference Is there between Mamie pleasing Miss Etta, and Bucky pleas- ing Mir. Grimm? Hero-worship has always developed US. It always will. And by "hero," in its broader sense, may be meant even pet or @ toy. Anyone, or anything, a little child sees reason for initiating, and whose good will he works fro, may be so classed. Likes and dislikes play e big part all through life.
