Uncle Sans men, both on land
and sea, went to victory last
night in the doubleheader of bas-
ketball played at the High School
Gym among teams of the Island
City Basketball League.
The opening contest between
u. S. Navy and Key West High
School Conchs was in doubt until
the final whistle blew. Varsity
showed greatly improved play
and should it display this same
teamwork Friday night, Miami
Beach five will know defeat.
Against a much superior club
last night, they gave the Gobs a
real fight for victory and, deserve
the praise of the s4aas ina.seqa,7
ance.
High scorer was Eddie Nelson,
with seven field goals for the
school boys. He was followed by
Plum, who sank six baskets for
the Navy. Levin, of the Varsity,
sank five field goals and one free
throw.
At the end of the half, the
score stood 17-16 in favor of the
Sailors. In the third quarters
both teams scored IL points and
still the outcome was in doubt.
A difference of three points
was all there was from victory
and defeat at the games end, fin

Joyous Christmas
Was Frowned on
By Early Settlers

The joy and singing now associat-
ed with Christmas was once for
hidden by ultra-pious churchmen of
Puritan England. Their disciples
who founded New England carried
the same repressions for many gen.
erations.
In the middle ages Christmas be-
came the greatest of festivals, cele-
brated with fetes, nativity plays and
general jollity. Many of our rollick-
ing carols date back to this gay pc
riod Of yule rejoicing.
Such pomp and merriment
marked the Christmas of Shake
speare's England, when a 12-day
festive period was observed. Work
was abandoned and young and old
gave themselves over to merry
making.
The Puritans frowned upon the
pleasures Of the season, however,
so in 1914 Parliament prohibited any
festivities and ordered the day kept
~ fast.

This conception of advertising as
the most economical means of Of
fering a new and better idea to the
public explains many so-called fail
ures of advertising. Such failures
are due to the fact that advertising
is often used to offer an idea, prod
uct or service that is not interest
ing to the public or because the
new idea is not kept before the pub
lie for long enough period of time
for consumers to thoroughly under
stand and appreciate it.
Twenty years ago a large insur-
ance company spent large sum of
money offering a new type of policy.
Results were not satisfactory and
the officers of the company said,
Advertising of insurance is a fail
ure and we will never spend an
other penny in advertising" 1t was
later learned that the policy offered
in the advertising was not popular
and five years later had completely
disappeared from the insurance
business.

THE new uses for crazypatch
L stitches in Sewing Book 8 have
aroused so much interest that it
set us to thinking of smart new
ways to use pieced quilt block
designs. This border pieced Of
small patterned cotton prints of

result. 1t is very striking and
decorative for lunch cloth shown
here which, by the way, is made

to make the cloth the desired size

the base. Mark the blue strip 1
inch wide along the left edge as

Picking Lemons.-Lemons that
have a fine-textured skin and are
heavy for their size are usually
of better quality and have more
Juice than those that are coarse
textured and light in weight.
Ventilate Kitchen.-The follow.
ing bad air conditions in kitchen
may cause fatigue: Not enough
oxygen or an excess of carbon
dioxide, and the presence of car
bon monoxide, excessive moisture
and excessive heat. The kitchen,
more than any other room, re-
quires frequent ventilation.
Use for Pickle Liquid.-Liquid
left over from mustard pickles is
excellent to mix with chopped
meat or fish and use in sandwich
filings.
Milk will not scorch or stick to
the pan when boiling it if the
saucepan is rinsed with boiling
water just prior to putting in the
milk.
Clean curtains come under the
heading of health, budget and
time-savers. Soiled curtains which
have lost their crispness or fresh
ness contain dust and CRIME which
weaken the fabric and make hard
rubbing necessary. Germs are in
variably in with this dirt. Frequent
washings are invariably easy ones,
for surface dirt washes away
easily in a rich and foamy suds.
Chopping Nuts.-When finely
chopped nuts are needed for
cakes, salads or sandwiches run
the nuts through food-chopping
machine.

ADS COMBAT
FIXED HABITS

THE American standard of
i living is the highest in the
world. One of the most inter-
esting things about it is the fact
that the public seldom takes
the initiative in demanding new
and improved products. 1t has
always been a man with a new
idea - something to sell-who
has made the improvements
and offered them to the pub
lie through advertising.
Gradually the public has ac-
cepted the new idea and a

The second manufacturer headed

finally told about the excellence of

produced many times more sales

Cold Details
Seldom Make
Great Appeal
By GEORGE T. EAGER

IRON time to time govern
i ment officials seek to impose
restrictions on advertising and
make advertisements cold, log
ical presentations of technical
buying information. They be-
ieve that logical reasons for
buying would be more produc-
tive than emotional appeals.
In appealing to the emotions
of readers advertising men
are merely taking advantage
of facts that famous writer's
and philosophers have known for
centuries. Roamez said, Reasons
come afterward, but at first thing
pleases or shocks me without my
knowing the reason"

fish novelist, when asked for his

that children build around the cars:
Sometimes a child travels all
around the world with them. Often
he will recreate trip he's taken
in the family car. Sometimes he'll
play detective and chase gangsters
and sometimes he's taxicab

Miss Rifkin finds that toy automo-
biles, like toy soldiers, help child
get the surplus energy out of his
system. And both appeal to his in
stinct for collecting.

One mother, she says, believed
militant tendencies would be fos-
tered if her child were allowed to
play with toy soldiers. So she for
babe them, but instead the child COL
lected bottle tops, lined them up in
military formation and shot them
down by cooking his finger.
Miss Rifkin says it's all pretend"
anyway. "Even a child old enough
to know war means cruelty realizes
his soldiers are just toys, and it's
only a game"
