Dabs from the powder puffs at the
194l Women's National A. A. U. bas-
ket ball tournaments:
Gailya Smith of Quinlan, Tex.
the new beauty queen, would be an
eighth grader in the average educa-
tional system. The Quinlan School,
some 80 miles from Dallas, is run on
the 11-year plan, not the usual II,
and Miss Smith is freshman. She
is only IA.
You couldn't tell of Hazel Walker
Crutcher's tragedy from her play
with the defending champions, the
Little Rock (Ark) Flyers. During the
last winter her husband was killed
in West Coast train accident.
This. is her eighth tournament.
She has won All-America ranking
seven times and numerous laurels as
the national free throw champion.
Bess Singleton. midget guard for
Merit, Tex, introduced a fashion
note in her teams second round de-
feat. She wore a brilliant red tur-
ban.
The action at times is every bit as
fast as in the boys game, but the
participants are feminine. neverthe-
less. Every uniform pocket has a
lacy handkerchief tucked in it and
most of the queens wear at least one
piece of jewelry.
In additional to a sparkling dia-
mond on the correct finger, Evelyn
Ferrell of the Columbus (Ohio) j. &
ks wore a locket on a thin chain
around her neck. Her beauty won
her place in the queens encourage.

Rats, Insects, Carry
Many Serious Ills.

While physicians and public health
authorities are at work hunting for
the source of the current outbreak of
encephalitis cases in Minnesota, the
Minnesota State Medical Associations
Committee on Public Health Education
today issued bulletin pointing out
that several other grave diseases are
carried from sick animals and from
other human beings by insects and
especially by rats.
Mosquitoes carry malaria and they
are under suspicion as carriers of
sleeping sickness, though current in
veStigations have not succeeded in
proving the case against them, the
bulletin says.
But the most notorious and danger
GUS of all disease carriers, with the
possible exception of ticks and feas,
is the rat, the doctors say. "No less
than even major diseases and illnesses
are known to be transmitted or caused
by rats. including bubonic plague, rat
bite fever, typhus fever, pneumonia
plague, jaundice, parasitic mango and
tapeworm. Rats have been suspected,
also, of carrying encephalitis in some
instances; also leprosy and infantile
paralysis. Ticks, on the other hand,
are known to carry tularemia and
rocky mountain spotted fever and feas
are the commonest agency for spread
ing typhus.
"Just what is the source of infec-
ton for the current spread of en-
cephalitis and what agency is carrying
it is still uncertain" they say. cit is
certain, however, that several of the
grave diseases carried by rats are
spreading inland from the gulf coasts
where they were originally deposited
by infected rats from trading vessels
and the determination of rats, both
as possible disease carriers, and as a
source of economic loss is an import
ant public health measure"
Efficient and economical new methods
for Kidding districts and private homes
and farms of rats are available from
the United States Public Health Ser
vice in Washington, D. c., and the ply
sicians urge everybody to cooperate
in efforts to exterminate and perman-
emily bar domestic rats from Mime
sofa.

When a limping justice cannot see
his responsibility for enforcing the laws
governing conduct on our highways,
safety receives a serious blow.
Thousands of fine men and women
are busily engaged in safety and &C
cident prevention work-in making
their community safer and in making
the streets safer for their children
only to find all of their work can be
suddenly wiped out by weakened
judge.
Several times in this column I have
brought out the Importance of having
firm judges. When traffic offenders
know they cannot elk" a case, when
they know that the justice will mete
out proper punishment for the viola
ton, then we shall have more respect
for the law and more respect for the
rights of those people who do respect
the law.

Virginia DolUns Ely,
1911, in Night Game
Handicapped by Lights
Ely Batters Get But
Three Hits.

Virginia defeated Ely, 10-1,
last night to take the first
game of the playoffs finals.
Pounding three Ely pitchers
for IL hits, the Ore Diggers
piled up the runs in great
style and now have but one
game to win to clinch the
series.
Ely batters were able to register but
two singles and double, and were
plainly at a great handicap on the
night-ighted field. 1t was conceded
that the local club would have diff
Guilty in turning back the Queen City
in a night game, and that the CO.
title holders would have their best
chance to win here Sunday afternoon
While the Ely batters were unable
to find the horsehide, the local pitch
ing staff was also unable to keep the
ball out of reach of the Ore Diggers
They cracked out 10 singles, three by
S. Gentilini, and a double and q
triple. Three wild pitches and a man
hit by pitched ball also figured in
on the scoring, along with two errors
in the field.
1t was mighty sweet ball game
up until the fourth, as neither club
could score. In the fourth Virginia
pushed over runs and followed thi!
with 4-run spree in the fifth to pu
the game on ice.
Ely's lone tally came in the eight
when Bill Langen singled, went t.
second on an error, to third on Dor
Prola's single, and home on a doubl
by Frank Vertnik.

It is difficult to understand the bitter
opposition in Congress to extension OF
the service of draftees, reserve officers
and National Guardsmen. Heretofore,
the opposition to these major contro-
yersial bills has been based upon the
argument that they involved foreign
policy questions and the charge that
thew would tend to involve this nation
in war.
Foreign policy was not involved to
the slightest degree in the draft ex-
tension. 1t was purely and simply
question of strengthening the national
defense or permitting it to deteriorate
almost completely so far as army is
concerned. Congress had the testl-
mony of every army leader from Gen
eral Marshall up and down that our
defense would be gravely impaired un-
less this measure was passed, that Its
failure, in fact, would mean the vir-
tual disintegration of the army for a
period of six or eight months, at a
time when the world situation is more
| critical than ever before.
We all know that the time extension
is an unpleasant development quite
naturally disliked by millions OF rela-
tiyes of the men in service, and GER
tainly a step which those who sup
ported it hated to take. But unfortu-
nately, in these trying times, we are
going to have to do many things that
are unpleasant and that we don't
like to do, and our paramount conSd-
Grafton in meeting all of these issues
must be the future welfare and secur-
| ity of the United States, and nothing
else, if our democracy and freedom are
| TO survive in this war-torn world.
