Rotary club today paid public recognition to the , achievements of three men whose lives have been
spent within our own midst. The three men are conspicuously known in .many parts of the United States and abroad. ; Each won his niche of fame by hard work, begin1 ning at the; foot of the ladder and, rung by rung, working his. way to the top. It is unnecessary to recount the biographies of either of vthem. Mr. Nicholson is known for his work in behalf of prison betterment, temperance, education, and his commanding position in . the Friends church. ... Mr. Hill is,;a rosarian whose fame extends across the 'sea. . He has received medals from many societies and; organizations in recognition of his ability .as the originator of "forcing" roses. ; Mr.-Rundy'svpaintings are beginning to be widely' known for their Hoosier, setting as are Riley's poems for their native atmosphere. , He has-won-a permanent place among the noted artists. of theUnited States.. The whole community pays tribute to these three men, and joins with the Rotary club in paying tribute to them, not only for the success Ihey-have attained, but also for the fine type of citizenship which they exemplify. The three men are fine models for the youth of our city to study and to follow. They combine in their characters the lofty and noble sentiments of humility, integrity, candor .and honor that blend into perfect manhood. ;
Basketball Season to be Shorter "The welfare of high school athletics in this
state was promoted materially in the action of
about 600 coaches, taken at a meeting of the In
diana High School Athletic association held in conjunction with the state teachers' convention," says the Indianapolis Star. "The most important of several 'rules adopted was that limiting the basketball season from Oct. 1 to the final state tournament in March. The sport has taken such a hold on both the students and townspeople that in some places it has become almost an all-
year game. In defense of the prominence given' to basketball, thesmall schools, it is argued, are handicapped by the expense of equipping baseball or football teams, some of them lacking enough available students to form two teams. Basketball equipment costs comparatively little and some kind of court usually is available at moderate expense. . "The chief objection to a season which began at the opening of the school year and continued practically until its close the following spring lay in the physical strain upon the players. Basketball is the most strenuous -sport on the list, not
excepting football, and the average high school student is in danger of having his health impaired by over-exerting himself if not restrained. British criticise American sports on the theory that our young men exhaust their vitality by too
early development. This charge seems well founded in view of numerous examples of high
school stars who apparently go stale when-rh college and fail to maintain the reputation they had established a year or two before. All-year participation in any sport is also likely to interfere
with studies, which deserve first consideration.
The new rule limiting each school in the association to twenty games will also keep the sport within suitable bounds. It will become effective
next year.
"The athletic officials are to be complimented on the effort to eliminate professionalism in high school ranks. The danger is no less serious than that faced by the colleges, for rivalry developed between high school basketball teams will spread to the entire town and large suftis are often bet on the games. Sportsmanship cannot thrive in such an atmosphere, and both coach and players are certain to be affected by the knowledge that wagers have been posted on the outcome of the contests. The coach is thus tempted to regard the score and his own position more than the welfare of the players. 'The association acted wisely in liberalizing the eligibility rules by permitting students to play on teams of organizations providing the gymnasium for school practice. The Y. M. C. A. or the larger churches often supply the high school's lack of a suitable gymnasium, and the student should not be barred from interscholastic
competition by reason of participation in organization games. The athletic meeting was conducted with a minimum of discussion on the floor, as the visiting coaches had been apprised in advance of the questions to be considered. It is doubtful if there is any state in which the
athletic affairs of the high schools are managed
with a greater degree of efficiency than in In diana."

An Historic Virginia City Fredericksburg Capitalizes on Many Patriotic Features and Preserves Historic Buildings of Colonial Period.
By FREDERICK J. HASKIV FREDERICKSBURG, Va OcL 24. If a city can have a hobby, the hobby of Fredericksburg is certainly its historic past. It has been claimed that Fredericksburg has more ancient, remt fiiscent and historical buildings than any other town of its size in the country, and the claim, we are told, has stood un refuted. Fredericksburg's patriotic and antiquarian societies have delved into records and they have reverently preserved what they could of the ancient buildings about which tradition cling. The result is that an historic atmosphere overspreads the town down to the rery edge of the business district, where automobiles, drygoode, and groceries are being sold in lively, twenti
eth century fashion. Outside of these bustling streets Fredericksburg is a
beautiful, quiet old place with attractive homes set in old fashioned gardens, and with the Rappahannock flowing by at one side. Te river has its share of historic association, especially at this point. This is the place where Washington threw a stone or as some biographers say, a Spanish dollar across, and then swam over after it. The course of the Rappahannock has changed considerably, that the feat can no long

NO PEACE Sweet peace is what we're needing, it's'what we're yearning for; all talk of scraps and bleeding the pepple now abhor; but still the captains thunder and tear their shirts asunder, and they would crush us under an avalanche of war. The world is all exhausted, the debt-worn nations reel, their feet axe badly frosted, their wounds are slow to heel; the people, sick of bleeding, would turn to plowing, seeding, to raise the wheat they're needing, and still the captains spiel. When Europe's hosts were thronging, and death was on the blast, we said, in bitter longing "This war will be the last; the fu

Pennsylvania is the scene of one of
the most interesting gubernatorial races it has been witness to for sev

is opposing Gifford

is a graduate of
Lafayette college and an old football star. He is active in religious work and preaches in the Methodist church, he has been master of the state grange for 20 years. This is the first time he
has ever run for any political office. In politics he is a firm believer in home rule. He advocates the Mght of
each community to settle its affairs, just as far as possible, without regula
tion or dictation from Washington or
Harrisburg. The farmers must not be
bossed, he holds, and have their whole
political structure made over for them.
because of some political turnover in
Philadelphia; and the farmers in turn
should be excused from the responsi
bility of imposing their idea of a mod
el government upon Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh. One item in his religious history il
lustrates his pet idea on home rule.
Denominationalism being strong in the rural districts, quitting one church for
another is considered rather a serious
proceeding. .McSparran, however, left the Presbyterian church to become a Methodist, because the latter church was nearer home. McSparran hopes to build up the Democratic party, he says, primarily because he wants two parties. And he wants two parties in order to give the people a chance to be non-partisan. He believes in political competition as an incentive to make both parties deliver the goods.

This is the river, too, up which Captain John Smith sailed in 1608 and it was near here that he was attacked by the fierce Rappahannock Indian tribe. A little more than a century later, in 1732, George Washington was born, and the same year Fredericksburg became an incorporated city. A few more years and George was attending Parson Marye's school in Fredericksburg. -
George Washington made history in more than one house in this Virginia town. Lafayette stopped at several houses on his visits here. Patrick
Henry, James Monroe, Charles, Dick
ens, and Washington Irving, are among the other noted visitors. But the most picturesque of all the famous
folk about whom Fredericksburg citi
zens repeat old anecdotes is Mary
Ball Washington, mother of the Father of his Country. The Mary Ball house is one of the main sights of the place. It is modest, cream-colored frame residence, a story and a half In height, with dormer windows projecting from the abruptly sloping roof. ' Gabled Roof Explained. Why a house should ever have been built with a sloping second story like this it is hard for ua to Imagine. The explanation is that at one timo a tax was levied on all two story houses and builders evaded the tax by constructing steep gabled Toofs over an attic story. Most historians say that Mary Wasnington moved into this colonial residence when her son George was 43 years old. It is certain that she spent tlje last years of her life here. Her son's rise to fame made no difference in her style of living. She" knew no excuse for idleness, and so long as her strength permitted she continued .to weave, bake, and direct her small retinue of servants. She drove daily in a gig across the Rappahannock to the farm on which her children had spent their child
hood. A spot on Main Street is still pointed out as the place where Mrs. Washington always stopped her carriage in order to drink a toddy. After taking this stimulant she would direct her driver to proceed to the farm.
where she went about inspecting the farm work and perhaps cutting slips for her home garden. A iue of water
from the spring out of which her husband and children had once been ac
customed to drink was also carried back to town regularly by Mrs. Wash
ington.
When Lafayette came to pay his respects to the mother of his great friend, Mrs. Washington, then an old
woman, was found busily burning
weeas in ner garden. She was dress
ed in plain homespun and wore a whit
lawn cap and a straw hat on her head. She greeted the French visitor cordial ly and took him into the house to have

No. 300 Picking L'p the Matches A dozen matches are laid side by side, close together, on the table. The performer sets the cover of the matchbox on thm, as shown in the figure, and asks some one to pick up the matches without touching them, and without removing the box from above them. This request sounds impossible, and when the spectators say so the performer shows that the feat can be accomplished quite easily. Here is the method: Place the lips against the open end of the match box and breathe in. Hold the match box between the thumb and forefinger and lift it at the same time. The suction created by drawing in the breath - will cause the matches to adhere to the box, and they can be lifted clear of the table, dropping back when the performer lets out his breath.
