Anyway he's going to do his best to help Decatur win a game on foreign grounds. When it comes to having nerve, •'Out of Hounds,” is a constellation. Over a paragraph in which he tells how "Vincennes takes 'em all as they come,” he puts the following head. "But They Haven't Played Us" Tonight's the night. Indiana and Purdue meet in the Purdue gym for another one of those historic battles. Purdue is beginning to hit her stride although she is yet a bit weak. Indi -I ana has been idle for qpme time and , it is difficult to dope her strength. | However, it is known that the Crim-1 son lineup has been changed consid-I erably with the addition of Parker: and Nyikos. two former all state higli; school centers. All Crimson followers are anxiously waiting to see if ■ these two lads and the other hopefuls' coached by Les Mann can break the j jinx which Purdue has held over Indiana in basketball for several years. A. L. Trester, the Great Mogul of Hoosier high school athletics, has announced that there will be an important meeting of the I. H. S. A. A. in Indianapolis Saturday. Wonder what it's all about? Whenever Mr. Trester calls his gang together all Hoosierdom perks up to find out what is going on. There’s.no use for Hartford City to go to the sectional tournament at Portland in March. "Mystic Spencer” one of those mystifying crystal gazers. told a Portland fan that his pets were going to beat Hartford City in the final game of the tourney by a score of 29 to 23. Another basketball colyumist has made his appearance. He tails himself Hardwood and the columns of the Indianapolis Star are his exhaust pipe. Bet he gets badly scarred up before the season is over. Young America, the team which comes, to Decatur to b<- the guests oj , ('oath Tommy Moore and his high; school eagers on February 23. is in the habit of winning games.

Because of its gerin destroying properties, this sulphur preparation instantly brings ease from skin irritation, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth.

today are suffering from malnutrition. Malnutrition is not synonymous with lack of food. It more often moans wrong food and bad food habits—the substitution of pastry for potatoes, dill pieklos for green vegetables, coffee for clean milk. Or it may be due to the presence of some physical defect that prevents proper digestion. To correct it medical attention is required and the constant testing ( ycung physinues by means of measuring tape and weighing scales. And.this the American Child Health Association means to secure fer every growing child in the country. But it will gi> farther back than the school child and secure equal advantages for the unborn baby, the infant in arms. the toddling pre school child. The association will thus carry on tie work done for thirteen years by the m.hfj- incorporated organization, 11 he American Child Hygiene Assoi elation.

Sleeves are ended in the same way, ami often lined in attractive ribbons. ♦ The Fra Lo He Campfire girls met i at the home of Miss Dorothy Conrad last night.
