This record showed 'Bugs' had swallowed forty-two beers and seven green oil lons. Mr. Brush cross-examined Kaymond, and after a long timo he finally admitted that he might have sipped the boors, but he was sure ho had nothing to do with the on ions. I almost lost my job for this interview with Mr. Brush. Kaymond was a persistent guy. One spring xve were just arriving at Marlin. •Bugs' wanted $509, and I told him no advance money was to he had that spring. He cut the request to $260. I refused again. He asked for $lOO. Again I refused. Then he wanted $5O. $26. $lO und a $2 bill. Finally when he saw I was obdurate, he said. 'Gimme two bits for a shave, will you?' And I don't think he got even that. I never knew when Kay mond was going to fall. Once wo were playing a tight same with the Pirates.

He came in quickly enough, and Wagner met hiin with a three-hagger that tied the score. Immediately I knew something was wrong. I found out too late that Raymond had run out of tho Polo Grounds, sold the new ball for half a dollar, bought as many drinks ho could, and came back to lose that game.

This is a starter for bringing back uth leticg to Central, declares Curl Stoner, who is handling 'he In formals, and everybody interested in the city athletics will be glad to hear it. Tech has been taking up the whole stage and no one is envious of lier, but Central High should be prominent, too. The athletes who will do battle to-night in Central High's name are Mlnnich , Robinson, Cahill, Craiglow, Perrin and Koch. Five of these players will start the game. The contingent will have to exert, themselves to the utmost in order to wallop the Camp Hill tosaers, who include a number of former college stars. It is expected that within the course of a few days a captain will be elected by the infornials. Joe Minnich was captain of the senior team and "Mel" McClintock led the junior five. Now that the two com binations havo gone together as one a new leader will be named. It will probably, be one of these men. The following will be included in the Camp Hill Big Five lineup: Higley, Sutton, Kurtz, Myers, Mun nell and Fry. HOUSE APPROVES NAVAL PROGRAM Votes 194 to 142 Favoring New Thrcc-Ycar Building Schedule Washington, Feb. 12. —Adminis- tration leaders in the House have won their fight for a declaration by Congress of a policy of naval ex pansion unless limitation of world armament is agreed upon at tho peace conference. After a long de bate yesterday, the House voted 194 to 142 to approve the new three-year building program of ten battleships and ten scout cruisers and immediately afterwards adopt ed the entire naval appropriation bill. The vote on the adoption of the bill was 281 to 60. As finally ap proved the measure carries a total of $721,00,000 for the naval estab- I lishnient during the next fiscal year, I including $179,000,000 for the un- I finished part of the first three-year program adopted in 1916. During tho day the House adopt ed by a vote of 205 to 148 a reso lution of the rules committee mak ing the naval expansion policy leg islation in order, thus overcoming a parliamentary advantage gained yesterday by Republican Leader Mann, whose points of order against the program had been sustained by Representative Garret, of Tennessee, Democrat, who was temporarily presiding. Representative Moore, of Penn sylvania, said the question to be decided was not whether the House was for or against a large navy, but whether it was for or against the voople, who had to pay the bills, while Representative Johnson, of South Dakota, asserted that the time had come for Congress to adopt another declaration of independ ence and Tree itself from the mas tery of the President.

I shall always remain an enthusiastic booster of boxing and believe boxing will be come the national sport of America'". FEBRUARY 12, 1919. NATIONS SOCIETY MAKES PROGRESS, SAYS PREMIER | Lloyd George Expects That Report Will Be Issued Soon London, Feb. 12.—Progress on the formation of the Society of Na tions was v'iry satisfactory. Pre mier Lloyd George said in tho House of Commons in discussing the j work of the peace conference. He ; said he hoped that a report would j be issued soon by the commission appointed to consider responsibil ity for the war and enemy out rages. The Premier, in answer to a question, said that the British rep resentatives, like tho others, would sign the treaty of peace provision ally and that the treaty would be pi-esentod to Parliament for ratifi cation. If the House of Commons chose to repudiate it, the House was all powerful. The peace commission on in demnities, the Premier said he hoped, would issue its report .soon. The Premier declared that the conference had made progress be yond the most sanguine anticipa tions and that it was approaching an agreement on most questions. It would be a misfortune, he added, if the peace conference deliberations were discussed in any parliaments before they were concluded.

THE modern way to load and screen coal is by machinery, i Coal is hoisted to the screens by electric power, after which the coal travels over a large screen to remove dirt and goes into our wagons ready for delivery. The old way for screening coal required the drivers to shovel coal by hand into a screen and afterwards throw the rescreened coal into his wagon.
