Some people may be Dragging
they have seen the first robin round
"these here parts" but I'll wager
they will have to listen to the song
of their own canary in the kitchen
window for some time yet, before
they hear that first real robin &C
tually trilhng on the front lawn.
They say March came in like a lion
and hardly think any self-respect-
ing robin will venture here awhile
yet. Despite the fact that we are
still skating to work on icy pave
ments and wearing our wool mits
and ear hobs, the enthusiasm for
the spring planting of our victory
gardens is growing day by day.
People here are already register
ing for vacant lots where they can
grow our much needed vegetables.
=. Some of our young brides about
town are really in low state of
mind. You know they could always
cook up some kind of meal what
with all the can goods in the stores,
but now that can rationing has
gone into effect, they'll really have
to get busy and learn how to cook
the fresh foods.
Dots and Flashes of the Week:
Invites are in the mail to hear
that wonderful speaker, MRS.
CRYSTAL BIRD FAUSETT, who
will speak at the Y. ". c. A. here
in Minneapolis on March 9Th. As
you know, Mrs. Fausett is a former
member of the National Y. W. C. A.
Staff and is now in the office of
the National Civilian Defense.
Have you heard of the St. Paul
lassie who has been hoodwinked by
a certain Minneapolis lad? You
see the lad just presented the lassie
with a gorgeous diamond engage
ment ring and she found out from
reliable sources that the diamond is
not real at all, but it's just a zircon
ring. Gosh! Amt love grand?-
You know another local lassie got
the same deal a short while ago,
too. Remember?) Glad to hear
that ELIZABETH SCHUCK has
fully recovered from a strep throat
infection which really had her down
and out last week. Charming
MRS. ADA FRANKLIN, wife of
C. A. FRANKLIN, editor of the
Kansas City Call, was in Mime
apolis this past week visiting
friends. While in the city she was
the house guest of Mr.. and Mrs.

inventing. On scratch paper he set
down l3 rules. That was late in
the year 1891. Here are a few
of the rules which he prepared:
The ball may be thrown in
any direction with one or both
hands.
The ball may be batted in any
direction with one or both hands
never with the fist.
mo shouldering, holding, push
ing, tripping or striking of an
opponent shall be allowed"
The other rules spoke of fouls"
scoring rules, umpire and referee
and the time the game should last.
If a person committed two fouls
between the making of goals he was
to leave the game and stay on the
sidelines until the next goal was
made.
From the rule about fouls 1t Is
plain that Naisfnith did not expect
that so many fouls would be made
as in our modern basket ball. Goals
come SO fast in present day games
that player would be out of a
game only a short time after being
sent to the sidelines.
There were 18 men in the class
that day. and they divided into two
sides with nine players apiece.
Each side had three "centers," three
forwards" and three backs. To-
day a basket ball team is made up
OF only five players. Instead of real
baskets we have metal rings, with
nets, open at the bottom.
Almost all Of those first basket
ball players had mustaches. This
was hardly proof of advanced
age; 1t was custom of young men
IN those days to let mustaches
grow. Two of the players, however,
had full boards, and they were we'll
along in years.
The players liked the game, and
in later contests other students
came to watch. School teachers
dropped in to see the sport and soon
former basket ball teams, made up
of girls, in their school.
Naismith died on November %.
1899, at the age of IS. He lived to
see the game of basket ball become
one of the most popular of modern
sports

dummy played the queen, East COW
cred with the ace and South ruffed
with the spade nine. South tried
to get to dummy by leading a low
diamond to the nine, but East won
with the diamond ace and returned
club. West took the club ace and
led another club, but dummy won
with the jack South then finessed
the 10 of spades and led diamonds.
East could ruff whenever he chose.
but was then forced to lead trumps
or give dummy the lead for trump
finesse, after which South could
easily make the rest Of the tricks.
Can you spot the crime and the
criminal? If not, see what Mr..
Austin has to say about them.
East was the criminal" Mr.. Aus
tin justly points out, "for not giving
West a diamond ruff at the third
trick. After the first trick East
could count six hearts in his part
ner's hand and the three club bid
showed five clubs. South's reluc-
lance to rebid his spades indicated
a card suit, placing one spade
in the West hand, and, as the sec
ond trick showed, Vests 18th card
was diamond The situation
should have been as clear to East
as though each player had put his
cards down on the table"

mate of the Anglican Church. who

The London Church Times report

no lawful authority on such ques-

another proof of the church's readi-

that because man has expressed
himself through music throughout
the ages, It in some form is the
birthright OF the child. THE quail

the other arts is that II meets an
instructive need" she said. "Primi-
tive people have always used music
to express their feelings and young
children do the same. Mountain
folk satisfy their need OF music
through their mountain ballads
il is their release for expression.
We can enjoy music without study
ing it. but a knowledge OF the sub
ject brings out clearer under
standing" she said. when a child
takes music lessons. he should do
so voluntarily Parents may help

and Mrs. Charles Elliott as assist
ant hostesses.

The theme of the program.
Christian Democracy and the Jap
anese Americans" was introduced
by Miss Rosalie Clifford who gave
background Of the problem of
forming relocation centers for the
Japanese on the West Coast. She
introduced Mrs. James Bell OF the
Mayilower Guild, who very ably
presented the subject. Mrs. Bell
stated there are at present approx
imately 10000 Japanese evacuees
from the western coastal states in
relocation centers In the United
States. OF these 10000 are Ameri-
can citizens by right OF birth, the
bulk OF these evacuees are clearly
victims Of situation they did not
create. and for the existence OF
which they have no direct response
bility. There is an obligation and an
opportunity to help in relocating
these people so they may become
part OF the political, economic,
and social life Of this country. The
quality OF our Christianity and our
democracy will be tested by the
way we treat the Japanese evacu-
ees,' she concluded.
Mrs. Harvey Colburn contributed
TO the theme with some very point
ed magazine illustrations. An in
formal discussion followed which
vas concluded with the sentiment
expressed by Madame Chang Kai-
Shek that one should not allow
hatred of the enemies to creep into
ones life.
