Perhaps a doz,A or more people were in the spectators balcony last night in the High School gymnasium which all adds up to the fact that a lot of people missed good bas- ketball game in which the Krause squad knocked the Elks over, 54 to AT.
 The game was one of those un- usual contests where both teams lacked sparkle-probably because of the lack of grandstand noise and tension but strangely enough, worked more smoothly than they have many times when they were playing for marbles"
 The first quarter started out very much a Krause game ending 17-9 in their favor, but by halftime Elks push-shotter Young had bagged twelve points and the score was but 28-22 for Krause <
 In the third quarter, Claude Frs kline began to carry the attack for Krause and batted in nine points for the period, leaving Krause lead ing. 44-33. For time, in the fourth quarter, with the scores only bas- ket apart. it looked as though the Elks might close the gap, but the Krauses came back with a last spurt and put the game away 54- AT.

 Problem of Living

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb 7.-Six members of the Evansville College basketball team, which is threaten ing to set new all-time high SCOT ing record in this hot bed of basket ball, have solved the problem of where and how to live while in school
 It must be agreeing with them be- cause the team rolled up 400 points in winning it's first seven games with one of the Wilfred Doerner- pouring in points at the rate of almost 20 game. And every one of the sextet is capable of going 4G minutes at top speed.

Psychology
 Big Part of
 BasebaIIJo Job
Club Trainer Must Work on Players Brain Cells,
 Also Muscles
Bv RAY BLOSER AP Feature Servicc

CLEVELAND, Feb. T. = Take it it from Max (Lefty) Weisman-a big league baseball trainer must work on players brain cs,ls as well as their muscles.
 You must be real psycholo- gist," declares the loquacious cne- time Boston newsboy, starting his 18th year as the Cleveland Indians first-aid man. And it takes var ious kinds of treatment, he explains.
 You can't kid the old hands like Mel Harder and Willis Hudlin. But a young college boy is different. You cheer him up in a way he doesn't t think you are giving him any hooey.
 Players have different tempera- ments, and you must remember that, There are times when you can do a lot by kidding them, and other times when that would make them lose faith in you"
 Weisman, perspiring from work cut designed to remove more than 20 of the 2081a pounds he carried the end of last season, declared the Tribes pennant chances were very good" the New York Yan- kees to the contrary.
 When I run out on the field I want tc set good example for the boys" he declares
 Weisman picked up his knowledge of muscles around Boston's fight clubs. He has survived one change in ownership and five in manage ment. Weisman's formula:
 Play no favorites and carry no tales. Remember you're there to serve the ball players There are thousands Of trainers in every sec tion of the country There are less than 500 Major League ball players in the whole world"
 He confesses he doesn't know just what causes players to recover from sore salary flippers and assorted ailments.
 T don't know whether it's the massage or the lights, or whether it's the rest. I'm inclined to think it's about fifty-fifty."

 Katterhenry, Prusz, Hartke and Sus0tt started it all during the 1938- 39 school year and this year they were joined by Doerner and Oest- reicher.
 A typical meal consists of chopped steak and gravy, mashed potatoes, corn, lima beans, lettuce and dressing. fruit salad, bread butter, preserves and milk.
 Heavy Milk Drinkers
 T'Na bows consume two and half gallons of milk daily. Two large luayes of bread aren't enough but must do because that's all the budget will allow. A two-pound jar of jam or preserves disappears at each din- ner and supper.
 Everyone fixes his own breakfast but the other meals are prepared by the cooks working on fixed schedule There is a similar schedule for dish-washing. Each cook is re- ponsihle for his own menu and is accountable for the expense in- volved. The average meal costs about sl 25 to prepare.

Spanish Mains Location
Was Puzzle to Travellers

The exact location of the Spanish
Main long puzzled travellers and
writer's. Some applied the name to
the entire Caribbean, others thought
it designated the mainland border
ing that sea.
In the heyday of the conquista-
dores and pirates, the old Spanish
Main comprised not only the Carib-
bean sea, but that part of the Allan
tic ocean piled by Spanish treasure
ships.
The name later came to embrace
the shores of the Caribbean islands
and the adjacent coasts of South
and Central America.
Now the name has narrowed down
to denote the northern coast of South
America between the Isthmus of
Panama and the delta of the Orino-
co river, thus including the coasts
of Panama, Colombia and Ven
ezuela.
Unromantic freighters replace the
old gilded galleons, but precious
cargoes are still shipped from the
Spanish Main.
Venezuela is the third largest oil
producing country in the world.
Colombia contains the worlds
most important emerald mine.
Exports from the main include
platinum. gold, silver, Panama hats,
coffee, chicle, tonka beans, ivory
nuts, which are made in many ar
ticles from umbrella handles to but
tons, and kapol, a so-called "vege-
table down" used as stuffing for up
holstery.
An interesting relic of the old days
is the Bluebeard Castle at St. Thorn
as, now called Charlotte Amalie. 1t
is three-story fortress and is now
the centerpiece Of a new hotel. 1t
is a gaunt structure and popular
with visitors during the daytime. At
night people prefer to stand outside
and gaze at it.
The rugged old fort is made awe
some by the tradition that the origi-
nal owner. a pirate who was nick
named Bluebeard because of the
blush sheen on his black Whiskers,
had full set of IS wives.

North Carolina Church
Is Restoring Old Port

Restoration of the quaint old sea-
port of Bath, N. c., is giving to
modern America the haunts of
Blackboard the pirate. a church at
tended by early American colonists
and homes built more than two cen
turtles ago.
Plans for restoring the historical
village are being pushed by the
Episcopal leaders of the East Caro-
lima diocese. Their interest springs
from the Bath Episcopal church,
built in 1884, and recognized as the
oldest church building in the state
today.
Called 1.-THE Cathedral because
it is ruled by the bishop, the build
ing still is in excellent condition
with original handmade doors and
hand-cut wooden pews. 1t is to be
restored and converted into ma
tional shrine.
A museum will be opened near
the church and the old Marsh house
near by, built in 1714, will be con-
verted into a rectory.
Of great interest are the ruins of
an old house near Bath creek where
Edward Teach Blackboard the pi-
rate''-is said to have lived during
his days of power. Ruins of his
ships may be seen there at low
tide.
Bath has grown little since it was
settled by white men about 1890.

Dated December %, 1889, ap-
peared a letter in the papers OF
Wise County from J. B. Wampler,
retiring treasurer of Wise County,
that might we'll have been written
to the people Of Dickinson.
The $4,000 people Of WISE
County, says Mr.. Wampler, are
depending on single industry fer
a living. He points out that the
merchantable timber of W is e
County is gone; that the coal is
going fast, that there is unemploy-
ment and people begging for work.
Some of his sentences hit us be-
tween the eyes.
eve have a population Of more
than $4,000 people depending al
most entirely on the coal bust
ness"
con one side of the ledger we
find: our coal supply being fast
depleted: our merchantable timber
gone; our one industry highly
Unclaimed and running one, two,
and sometimes three days a week.
con the other side Of the ledg
er we find: our population ever
increasing; $1,000 school children
entitled to a fair chance in life
with practical education; large
percentage of our men and women
walking the streets and begging
for an opportunity to work for an
honest living.'
eve pass it up by saying, ooh,
maybe something will happen.

always a reason"

sources that are being and have

This picture does not exactly fit
Dickinson for the simple reason
that we have not been In the IN
dustrial game as long as Wise has.
We may not be so close to the
rim of disaster, but we are NOV
ing closer as the sparks fly up
ward. We know that within five
years our timber will be gone ano
that thousand timber workers
will be with us unemployed. We
know that every day from this
