THREE CAGE GAMES
SET FOR TONIGHT
BY BERKY
Basketball Sports Writer

Tonight in the High School
Gym, starting at 7:30 o'clock,
the fourth-place U. S. Navy five
battles the CCC quintet. The
Sailors are in top form and con-
siders the contest with the Camp
ers a pushover.
In the nightcap of the Island
City League doubleheader, the
fifth-place U. S. Marines oppose
the sixth-place DeMolays, be-
ginning at $50 o'clock. This
fracas will probably leave the
outcome in favor of the Leather
necks.
A preliminary game will prob
ably be played at $50 o'clock
between two teams of the Junior
High School League. Smiths
Bullets" and Schoneck's quin-
tet are slated to match goals.
The contest will be close, no
doubt, but should the Bullets
prove victorious it will put them
in a second-place tie.

Today is very forceful one,
and in olden times the beginning
of the year. Rather too aggressive.
a little quarrelsome, and likely
to be uncomfortable if antagoniz-
ed, it will be better that this ma
ture be left to work out its own
destiny rather than try to direct
it. If any assistance is offered,
let it be done in a very circum-
spect manner.

 Mount Bertha is one of the most beautiful peaks of the Fairweather Range and I have long been in- tensely interested ill climbing her and exploring her unknown eastern approaches since we saw her from the peak Of Mount Crillon in 1884.

ence. He was appointed superinten- dent of the Iowa division and from that time his advancement in the operating and executive depart ments was steady until 1926, when he was chosen president of the sys- tenn.
 In 1901, MT. Downs married Miss Ida May Mulligan of Pembroke, Ont. They had one daughter.
 MT Downs was a member of the American Society of Civil Engin- COTS, the American Railway En- ginecring Association, of which he was president in 1921, and the Sigma Chi fraternity. He also held membership in number of clubs
 Human Interest Outlook
 Summing up bis own opinion of himself, MT. Downs once said: T do the things the ordinary man does, and do most of them just about average well. I play bridge fairly well, but I'm not a shark at it. I dance about as well as most men and sing a play little. I turn in fairly decent golf card, nothing near championship figures, and l have just about an average business head"
 MT. Downs was intensely inter- ested in the human side of busi- ness, regarded men as the biggest investment of any business and be- lieved that success depended largely on an understanding of human na- ture He constantly advised sub Ordinates to strive to bring them selves to their employers attention as worthy of promotion
 Value of Humans
 He illustrated his estimation Of the value of humans in business by comparison with the invest ment in equipment. The latter, he said, was purchased with money, borrowed at about five percent. Select one man whose salary is $5,000 a year" he suggested, con- tinuing the illustration Assume that salary represents interest paid on capital sum. At five percent that mans capital worth is $100,- GOO. Let a man think of himself in that light, let others think of him so, and there grows up greater sense of personal worth"
 On that basis MT. Downs figured that the 60,OO0 employees of the Illinois Central, averaging about S1, 400 a year, represented a total capital investment of $1,630, ,000,000 or more than twice the amount invested in the physical property of the railroad.
