Thursday. .lan. 30. 1930 Garbage Disposal Plant Needed The fact that the &ase, cowardly. despicable, contemptible habit of writing anonymous letters has broken out again in Syracuse capie to light Saturday night when the auctioneer read the anonymous letter sent to him. He read the purile attempt to slander and malign a well known woman resident of Syracuse, and the Beckman store, to the crowd assembled at the furniture sale. “Sour ('.rapes'' probably was the motive which caused the rotten mind, reeking with purulence and putrescence, to write such a putrid letter. .After he /ead . the- letter, the salesman expressed his opinion of that writer and the opinion of every <tHVer self-respecti'ng manand woman of this community. Since then it has l>een discovered that several anonymous letters have been sent through the ; mails to other well-known indi-, viduals in Syracuse, attempting i to defame characters and reputations. -I We. the Syracuse Journal, hereby announce that we are doing ( everything in our power to learn the identity of the guilty party I who been sending such de-; cayed matter through the United States postoffice.When we do learn the identity of this party, we. ask for the per- ■ mission to lead the procession < of fellow citizens who are too proud to live in the same town I with such a despicable wretch, 4 This procession is going to I dear our town of such garb- ! age We said once before that Syracuse needs a garbage disposal plant.- We didn’t realize then, I that Syracuse harbors human garbage. ipealHajyeiiinjj; Mr and rMs. E.

‘The Lil Wife In Africa”

(Editor’s Note: Because so many people have suggested we write some of our African experiences; and because so much is written of big game, and so little of housekeeping near the Equator, the editor’s wife is writing, from the diary she kept, about “The Li’l Wife in Africa.”) (Continued from Last Week) People who ride the Capitol City Limited .in this country, should see what they call a train m Africa. Ours was hiding behind the train shed on a narrow gauge track—a train the size of those antiques Henry Ford collect-:. A little larger Than those electric train advertised each vear as Christmas gifts for chilThe freight cars, one of which we hoped had our trunks in it as it was called a baggage car, were behind the engine. They had sheet iron roofs, as sparks from the engine had the habit of setting fire to things. They burn brick-ettes. black, squares of coal tar and saw dust, among other things, aadjwhen these are used up. they mirn wood. Behind the freight cars were three passenger cars, marked first, second and third; in the good old European way. The only difference in these cars was in the cost to ride in them. All of the passengers cars were open from hip high, to a strip of wood around the roof. Each car • iccomodated 12 people. There was an IS inch isle down the center, which separated the two rows of seats. Each pair of seats faced each other as in this country.. But each seat could accomodate only, one person, and that, if he weren’t too wide. A wooden tray hung from the wall, between each pair of seats, and a drop placed under these, would make them into tables. Wearing helmets, no one couTd lean back in his chair, all those hours from 6 a. m. until 6 p. m.. during which time the sun shone and shone. ■ A nigger boy rode on top of each car to work the brakes going down hill. But most of that first day’s 150 mile accomplishment was uphill. The rapids in the river had made this railroad necessary, as boat travel was impossible. The engineer who put in that road lid an excellent job. taking advantage of every curve over that range, so that wheezing engines •ould go over those mountains. The engineer in the train cab was a native, likewise the fireman. They were just two happy boys playing together with a noisy toy. They tooted that whistle the whole 12 hours. ’ After leaving Matadi the hills started covered with tall grass, the color of ripe wheat. It was the dry season, and sparks from .trains set it to burning, or else natives would- set it. afire to drive out small game. So the tropical beauty had black sharred patches every now and then. In the hollows between hills were the only places where moisture kept things green. When we got tired of doing nothing, we ate, using our two glasses, two enameled plates, tin knives and forks, and our can opener, over and over again, in unwashed state, those two days of train ride. ' _ . • In our shopping we couldn’t get soda crackers, only sweet wafers. So we made made sandwiches of sardine, mackeral and sweet wafer, had some cold Heinz beans, salmon and lobster, as a second course, and Libby’s fruit salad which collected several flavors during its turn on those same.unu ashed plates. We washed this down with hot bottled water, but that’s all the washing that was done, and in all that heat —! ' Every twenty minutes, by our watches, the train would stop. It being single track, our engineer had to wait for clear signals. After awhile, at each stop, the passengers would unload to stretch and buy green oranges and partially ripe bananas from natives, along the track. The fruit had been planted years sbefore Ip* missionaries. We bought a grapefruit, but were warned by gesticulating European passengers that these were poison, were not grown in Europe. They also explained that the railroad was put in at the cost of a man’s life for every tie laid. Our starting and stopping and actual travel, marked with suffocating heat from the sun and black from the engine, kept on all jday and after dark that night. '■ We had neither Igihts in the cars or on the engine, but that didn’t bother our engineer. For the first ime he was going down grade, the track knew where it was headed, , why should he worry? So he let us rush on in the blackness, and the passengers hung on. . No ottd could Believe* it really"

true, when about 7:30 that night we reached Thysville, and unloaded to spend the night at the hotel.

Sxne coaches have been agitating to a considerable extent the limitation of the dribble during the last few seasons. The first group to voice its disapproval rightly, should the dribble be limited to one bounce, will be the fans, for a spectacular element of the game will be removed. The dribble offers one of the most dangerous offe’nsive weapons if properly used; but, on the other hand, if allowed.to go unchecked, it will lie the downfall of a good team. It is necessary to coach carefully the dribble in

its proper uses as well as in technique. In the following cases the dribble is used: (1) By the back guard to get the ball in play after taking it off the board. (2) By the floor guard advjTrrqjng the ball to a set defense. (3) By the offensive man to make the defensive man declare himself and thereby free a team niate for a pass. , ' The dribbler should crouch low and never bounce the ball higher than his knees, when closely guarded, being careful to have his body between the guard and ball as much as possible.

and looking ahead for an open team mate. The dribbler in the open does not need to see the ball, but shoud “feel” it instead. Four senior students in journalism have been chosen to edit the Indiana Daily Student, campus publication during the coming semester. The semester 'will be divided into four parts of four weeks each, with one student acting as editor for each fourth. The four students who have been chosen to have charge of the publication are Catl Brecht and Kevin Brosnan, Indianapolis; Griffith Niblack, cf Wheatland; and Scott Chambers, of Newcastle. / Warning iCity Water | \Must be Boiled!!\ jfor drinking pur-l Jposes, until furIther notice. : • Warning fromj jthe state board} •of health was re-| • ceived by!
