 In the third doubleheader basket ball game of the Douglas League series, played at the Natatorium last night. the Foundry team displayed real form with good shooting ability to win by a wide margin over Jen- sens, final tally 38-16 Score at the half was 8 for the victors against 8 for the losers. The latter were just simply unable to locate the bas- ket which accounts for their poor showing. W
 Surprising even himself, G. Cash en with 12 points was high man on the iron moulders team. G. Mills and Guerin each made g; Jensen and Nelson tied each other with six markers apiece. e&s
 As was expected, the High School lads were no match for Warmers and in spite of Coach Pools efforts to arrange the most effective com binations by using all thirteen of the men during the game, final score was 41 to 1O At half time it was 12 to 3, so the real execution took place during the last period.
 Erskine and Feero were tied as high scorers for Warmers; each made IA points; for the school D. Wahto made as high man.
 As a result of last nights contests, Warmers have now won three games, Foundry two, Jensen's one and the high school none.

WHAT rs TIME!
Waiter Henry Thomas

Cab you define this simple and conf
monty used word of four letters? Lay
aside your paper and try to do SO be-
fore reading the next paragraph.
What is your answer?
1t is said every day that slime is
money" Well if it is, then most of
us are way behind time, and it may
help things if we set our monetary
clocks ahead a few hours or days. Or
to put If another way, if time is money
then the writer of this column is a
millionaire.
1t reminds me of the Wall Street
broker that dreamed he went to Hea-
ven dreamed, fefaefiibef!) and the
first question he asked was "How's
the money market up hefe?" He was
answered, "Oh, we don't think of
nshey of time up here, why mill
lion dollars is no more than cent up
here, and a million years is no more
than a minute"
The broker thot, heres my chance
SO he said, "Say, lend me cent and
received the reply, Sure, in minute"
New can you answer the question,
what is timer Let me submit an
answer. Time is human measure
inent of space between the past and
the future of eternity. Time and space
are the same in that neither have be-
ginning nor end. Time is a part OF
Eternity that we cut out and measure
by the speed of the earth around the
sun.
Time does not "go fast" The earth
moves fast. If the speed of the earth
was slowed down to 100 miles an hour
instead of 1000 miles, then our "a
hour days would be increased to 24t
hours instead of "a hours.
Time, however, would not be altered
Our clocks would only have to be
slowed down to correspond to the
speed of the earth. When your wife
called you for breakfast you coulc
snore for half day instead of hall
an hour, and no one would know the
difference, and the bacon and eggs
wouldn't get cold! Looks funny
doesn't it? Well, it's the truth any
way,-but frankly it doesn't seem righ
mot even to me. It's getting mt
muddled, the longer my pen moves.
Pm sorry but you'll have to olsen
tangle the muddle yourself haven
