A True Sportsmun's Creed

Let me liUe, o Mighty Teacher,
Such life as man should knoU;
Stressing loyalty as feature,
With joy-not too much OF noe.
Let me run the gamut ouer,
Let me fight and loue and laugh;
And 10llen I'm beneath the clouer,
Let this be my epitap1-
Here lies one 1uho took his chances
In the busy 1Uorld OF men:
Bdttled luck and circumstances,
Fought and fell and fought again
Won sometimes, but did no croUing,
Lost sometimes, but did not 1Uail.
Took his beating, kept on going,
Never let his courage fail.
He ,Das tallible and Uery human;
Therefore, he loved and under
stood
Both his tellolD men and Domen,
Whether good or not so good.
Kept his spirits undiminished;;
Neper false to any friend;
Played the game until it finished;
Lived true sportsman to the end

Railroad men here are scofang ct
rummors Of q widespread black mar
|ket in train reservations by ticket
scalpers.
One story going the rounds here,
for instance, is that scalpers appear
at New York and Washington rail-
road stations at midnight daily to
buy tickets month ahead under the
30-day reservation ruling Of the Of
fice Of Defense Transportation.
The answer to this, railroaders
say, Is that one cannot buy Pull
man seats without purchasing rail-
road tickets and II, for instance, q
scalper tried to buy a block Of 40
tickets for San Francisco. he would
have to put up $4,000 in cash,
the kind of money" that this kind
of an animal would never have II
he attempted to operate over = 30
day period and invest $4,000 . day
for several days In q row.
True, q number Of times, ofncials
continue, smart guys" have been
able to bride q ticket seller with a
few dollars into giving them a can
celed reservation, but such clerks
for the most part newly employed
since the war-soon are weeded out.
o timers, ofncials say, would never
stoop to such practices as they
have railroading in their blood"
ODT oficials recently, on the
strength Of black market ticket
rumors. conducted their own quiet
investigation and found but scattered
cases of such operations, too few to
demand any corrective action, these
railroad officials point out.
AS to reservations to points in
Florida. Railroad ticket offices have
lists Of applications for reservations
even before the 30-day advance
period opens and persons on such
lists are notified to appear to pick
up their Pullman reservations and
must show their train tickets to
do so. Even more difficult is the
problem Of obtaining reservations
for the return trip If the visitor plans
a stay OF any length. All Of which

BY MRS. r. G. Elicit,
President D. c. Congress OF Parents and
Teachers.
Repeatedly in this space I have
stressed the Importance Of contrib
uting in every way possible to the
successful prosecution Of the war.
Members Of the Parent Teacher As
sociations have been urged to con-
serve scarce materials, to save their
salvaged tin cans, kitchen fats and
waste paper. Sometimes repetition
becomes monotonous. but the other
times it serves to add emphasis to
a project. It Is in this latter belief
that I reiterate the plea to members
Of this association, as well as to
every citizen of the District of Co.
lumbia, to cooperate with salvage
groups wherever they may be locat-
ed so that war shall not be slowed
down by our negligence
| However. there is still another
part which most Of us may play in
this war program at no more cost
to us than a couple Of streetcar
tokens and a little time. I am

Instead the tradition Of the ex-
hibitions will be carried forward in

Show Week, January 10, 10 and 20.
The gigantic farm show buildings,

Nine postwar fields of opportunity
in Alaska were discussed In q re-
cent article in Forbes Magazine.
Under the heading Tourist Trade"
the article said:
Alaska will, no doubt, become one
LOT the greatest tourist countries in
the world: its scenery rivals Switzer-
land; 1t offers unrivaled hunting
and fishing, mountain climbing, and
such distinct attractions as dog
sled trips and glaciers, Eskimos and
the midnight sun. The Alaska High
way will prove irresistible to mo-
florists; the popular private plane
will bring tourists by the thousands.
The sale Of Alaska sporting equip
ment will zoom, along with the man
ufacture OF Alaska souvenirs and
