By the one-sided score of 52 to 13 the DePauw basketball team defeated Rose Poly in the opening game of the season, played Friday night in the DePauw gym. During the first half, which ended with the score 24 to 6, Rose Poly did not score a field goal. They scored the first point of the game on a free throw, but Stone’s single and Mountz’s double marker gave DePauw the lead. Two more free throws tied the score for Rose Poly, hut Stunkel then caged a field goal to give DePauw a lead which they
never los%
The ball stayed in DePauw’s possession most of the half, and three field goals each by Crawley and Stone, plus three more free throws by Stone, and two baskets by Ragsdale, put the game practically on ice
at the half.

Fire prevention warnings for the holiday season should be observed. The following rules have been indorsed hy the State Fire Marshal: Avoid inflammable decorations of any kind. This applies to Christmas trees, banquet and dance halls, school rooms, etc. Artificial snow makes a wonderful decoration—but be sure it is non-in-llammahle. The non-inflammable snow is no more expensive, and as easy to procure. Under no circumstances permit the use of lighted candles on Christmas trees. Electric lighting fixtures may prevent a costly fire, saving lives and property. Paper decorations are an invitation to fire. Never attach paper decor ations to electric wires, fixtures or bulbs. A million dollars of automobiles were burned up in St. Louis about two years ago by doing this. Do not uae lighted candles in conjunction with inflammable decora-
