it the unusual that makes news then the remark Of
PRESIDENT Karl Nordgren at the Kwanis Club recently
serves widespread publicity. For in other country in
the world said President Nordgren coud club have for
ITS president heather Swede, it's secretary Catholic
lrlshnan, and as its vice president German Jew"
And that is exactly what the Sanford Kiwanis Club has
its principal officers except that doubt if President
Nordgren is really "heathen" But he is Swede And
the Kwans secretary is the Rev. Father j. Keeghan of
Catholic faith and Irish than De Valera While it's
vice president julius Dingfeder is German Jew who
fought in the Kaisers armies during the World War;
Now this is the sort of thing which could happen any
other city in the United States But it is the sort of
thing likely to be found in any other country the world
In many countries it would be impossible to have any kind
OF organization at all remotely resembling the Kwans
Club much less with roster of officers such the local
one has And in countries it would be utterly un-
thnkabe that Swede Irish Catholic and German Jew
could sit down at the table for the sake of good
socable companionship
And yet isn't that just the way we want it in this
country? That is just the way it has been since long
fore the Constitution of the United States guaranteed us the
freedom of religious worship and the Declaration of indie
pendence held that all created free and equal Isn't
that of the significant differences between this country
and other nations and one of the main things which has
made this country the greatest of them all?

Holman has been the recognized
crown prince of the court game
for twenty years and more, and
his has been royal road both
as player and coach. His bril-
lance as a player from 1915 to
1885 was not furnished a whit by
his amazing success as coach

THE BASKETBALL SITUATION
IN GENERAL
According to an Associated
Press wire dispatch little Old
New York may not boast the
smartest, the smoothest, the slick
est-shooting and the speediest
basketball quintets in the country
but it does possess the best. For
the past five years ever since
basketball went boom in the
Garden and has been jamming the
fans of seventeen and eighteen
thousand up to the Garden raf-
ters-a New York City team has
been the national champion. A
quartet of quintets each have held
the title once and one of them has
come through on two successive
occasions.
The four-C. C. N. Y, Long
Island University, st. Johns and
New York University-are rated
among the tOp-nOtchers year in
and year out, but what is more
interesting is the fact that there

DR.. Agnes L. McNutt, the associa-

clinic had total of TOO new patients
during 1899 and a total of 2,4s5 visits
from patients last year This year
she said, there already nave been 157

pointed out, show the growth of work
OF the clinic, which had a total of

Immediately after the association

had a total of 1,515 new patients,
she said.
DR.. McNutt said out of between
$4,000 and 10000 babies born in the
District in 1899 that some 5000 of
them were given aid by some social
agency or institution, indicating the
need of birth control.

serted he was proud to stand with

country who are in favor of it.

The speaker declared one of the
most significant things in relation to
birth control progress is the forma-
ton of the National Committee for
Planned Parenthood-a committee
composed of many of the leading
persons of the Nation.
DR.. Morris stressed the need of
organizations and persons carrying
forward the birth control movement
throughout the Nation, indicating
that needed progress cannot be at
tanned through a headquarters or
ganlzatlon alone. He advocated
making birth control information
available to all persons who need it.
Last year, DR.. Morris said, up
ward of 100000 persons were in
formed regarding birth control
through magazine articles and that
this year every available means" is
being used to inform the public what
birth control means.
Since January, he said, 1876 new

lished, bringing the total for the

accomplished in the birth control
movement, DR.. Morris declared: In

carried from the status of radical
Idea to that of great sociological
movement" He stressed it's i'm
portance also from an economic
standpoint. From both social and
economic standpoints, he said, the
planning of families is much needed.
Principal obstacles standing in the
way of the birth control movement,
he said, are ignorance, misunder-
standing and fear. These, he indi-
Gated, have diminished, but still need
to be reckoned with.
The same obstacles which have
stood in the way of birth control
frequently have stood in the way of
human betterment, he said, adding:

There was one good thing: Audrey's
conscience was clear about the dance
at the club. She and Dave had good
enough time at the dance, suffering
almost beyond endurance when the
Baer Cubs gave out "I'm Lonesome
These Nights" and comparing fur
ther notes about their suffering over
bountiful helpings of ice cream and
cake. 1t had really been a'most salts
factory arrangement. How else could
she have stayed faithful - and yet
not have missed the dance?
A few days later they went to the
lake together, and before long they
were going to the movies and to
Milbank's for sodas and hot fudge
sundaes. Nor could any relationship
have remained more sternly Pla-
tonic.

ANYHOW it seems he's mad about
Betty Lou and she's gone back to
the South, so he wanted to know
if Id care to 90 to the dance at
the club with him, in an abso-
lutely Platonic way. Well, of
course, I'm terribly bored with
the whole idea, but he's so low in
his mind about Betty Lou l
thought we could be companions
in misery or something. We both
wanted to hear Larry Baer and
the Baer Cubs. If you remember

there's absolutely no thrill in it

She stirred a little restlessly. She
could not find the reactions of Betty

Dave was quoting again.

ton futures inched ahead through
only minor opposition today. Closing
prices were up 2 to 5 points.
Hedging sales were the chief source
Of contracts. Domestic mill buying
and covering by spot cotton inter.
ests, were sufficient to give the list
a boost.
Speculative forces found new crop
months an attractive buy when they
heard hardness in preparation and
planting Of seed had been accentu-
ated by dry conditions in the west
ern belt.
Many traders were disappointed
the furry Of textile buying a week
ago failed to develop into q more
substantial business, which tended
to check trade in futures.
Cloth sales for the week r ex-
pected to fall short Of production by
a stable margin and reports of
further curtailment by southern and
New England mills continued to fill
ter through trade quarters.
The quiet in the Worth Street
market has spread to southern spot
centers, where demand for lint was
described as poor.
