Basketball for the men will not be programmed this coming season. * Judging by reports from Columbia, the South Carolina Gamecocks who gave Biliy Laval's Wasps from Emory and Henry a real shallacklng showed improvement in soiqe departments of the game but did not look so hot in others. They had speed ,weight and plenty of player talent but they sure were woefully weak on pass defense. There is no doubt but what the Gamecocks will prove plenty tough for some of their opponents this season, but we have our doubts that the team will live up to the hysterical hopes of many of the fans Well fellars and dames, we're off next, week to the windy city up on fhe -shores of Lake Michigan for a few days visit with % relatives and friends.

Nearly a ceiitury of amazing growth is exposed to the ravages of war in Shanghai as the city continues to be the chief battleground of the SinoJapanese conflict. "A year after Shanghai was formaly | opened as a treaty port in 1842, It I had only 23 foreign residences, a single consular flag, eleven business Anns and two missionaries," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., heaquarters of the National Geographic Society. x "Until the recant flight of neutrals j from the embattled city, about 60,000 foreigners lived there; nearly a score j of consular flags waved in the Shanghai breeze; foreign business firms wore numbered by tho-thousand and the city was the headquarters for countless phases and branches of missionary activity." j For a small Ashing village protected by high walls against frequent attacks of pirates and doing only a limited amount of trade with coastal junks, to expand ahd become the fifth largest seaport of the world in one long lifetime, Is no mean accomplishment in any land; but in China this transition 1b an even greater marvel. To geography the Chinese port largely owes its present enviable commercial position. Its situation, approximately midway along the China coast, makes it the most natural distributing center for extensive trade with coastal ports; but of far greater Importance lp the fact that It commands the vital position at the very outlet of the whole Yangtlze river system. It is doubtful whether there is another equally extensive region of wealth in the world where the people depend so completely upon a single artery of traffic. Approximately 200,000,000 .half the population of entire j China, live in this fertile area, utilizing the river, its tributaries and its network of canals as their chief means of communication. Within the century, mud flats along the Whangpoo river have been changed, first by flimsy huts and then by many-storied commercial buildings, lining streets where men and women from mapy nations, trade bent, rub left for repairs went along with them.j good-bye everthlng and everboddy! jzi.4- - /* :*>.hon. _ holsum moore has 0- more weeks to hobble aronnd on his crutches from his operation, then his sick benny-fit poillcy will have paid him! up. he^wili have a nice pair of crutches and 2 walking sticks for sail as soon as they make the final payment. m.r. edditor, if you see apyboddy-who has a policy like hls'n, pleso tell them to get in touch with mr. moore, if they get .hurt, or anything. t he has a good ctrior and IST eats well; he singly, hassen't got anny strength to walk without help. . u . .for itlh house and lot in the brown blockr^H main street, known as the Jones property, bounded oh the south by the ftppreme filling station, and on the west by the good guff filling station, it faces the blue dot and ihre green "V aiMng stations, priced Hght, terms jto the right party, rite or foam M-l-J.

The focus of foreign life in Shang* hal Is the International Settlement, the largest non-Chinese settlement In the East. First allotted a portion of land on the south side of Soochow creek, when Shanghai was made a treaty port, British business men established themselves and expanded, meanwhile improving the area to make it habitable. In 1848 France was conceded an area between the British district and-tho-Nativo City for its enterprlBes, and a few years later Americans leased a plot for themselves in the Hongkew district. The latter was never organized as the Amerloan Settlement, hut was incorporated with the British district in 1863. Thus came into being the International Settlement, premier nucleus of modern Shanghai. The French chose to re* main apart and today continue to administer their own concession as a separate unit. The administration of the International Settlement has been a unique experiment and results make It evi dent that the Shanghai Municipal Council has served the Settlement well. / - v _ . Tho Council is composed df a group of members elected by the taxpayers of British, American, Japanese and Chinese nationality. The number has been indreased from time to time until there now are fifteen members that direct the Settlement's 1,000,000 people. Paving, policing, planning?a multitude of tusks face the paternal body which, gratis, guards the interests of Intei natluital?Shanghai. A similar^ 7 but smaller task confronts the seventeen other men who handle the affairs of the French territory with its nearly half a million inhabitants. Troops of the chief foreign nationalities have been maintained to fir* * necessary protection to the residents of the Settlement. Cosmopolitan, as only one of the world's largest seaports can be, Shanghai records in its census fifty nationalities.
