In a game featured by the Colum bia Bee« fine pa-sing attack, led by Karri s anu Null, and the all round good playing of the locals, Barnwell defeated the visitors here Friday af ternoon, 20 to 12. The locals tot k the lead early in the first quarter when a blocked punt rolled behind the goal line and a Barn well man fell on the ball foi a touch down. Th> try for extra point was good.

Hallowe’en Spirits Roam Despite Rain But Ardor of Youthful Celebrants Was Somewhat Dampened and Hampered by Elements. The Hallowe’en celebration this year—like --o many other things un der the Republican administration- wasn’t what it used to be, thanks to the elements, but in spite of the steady downpour of tain that fell here Mcnday night a few cf the “har dier spirit-’’ rang door bells, remov ed gates from their hinges and did various other things that the ghosts and goblins are • opposed to do on this eerie occasion. If the youthful eele- brayts garbed themselves in spooky garments and roamed the street®, there was none to see them, as the older 1 folks for the most part kept themselves within doors and few bothered to gnawer the i^jfg of the door bell, knowing full well that no one would be there. Perhetps President Roosevelt, un like President Hoover, who in this year of grace is busily engaged in a desperate effort to stem the tide of Democracy, will take time out fiom his official duties next October and arrange with the weather man for a better bland of Hallowe’en weather. Why, of Course Daddy Would Dress the Baby “John, dear, will you dress Totuiuy this morning? I’m in such a hurry, and It won't take you more than a minute or two.” “Certainly,” replied John, cheerful ly. “I’d Just as soon dress the little chap as not. Here,, son, come and let daddy dress you.' I’ll' have you as neat as a pin in a JiiTy.” Tommy, aged four, reluctantly left his playthings, and his father began: “Now, let’s off with your nightgown and—keep still, dear, or I can’t un button it. There, now, we’lT—sit still, child. What makes you squirm like an eel? Where’s your shirt! Ah, here It is, and—sit still! Put up your arm—no, the other one, and—can’t you keep still half a second? Put up your other arm and stop pulling so. No, let’s—come here, boy. What do you mean by racing off like that with nothing on but your shirt? Now come here and let me put the rest of your clothes on. Put your leg in here. Not that leg. There you go, squirming around like a worm. Now, if you don’t keep still, I’ll—stop pulb ing at that c|iain, and—here, Doris, you’ll have to dress this wriggling animal yourself. I couldn’t do it In ten years.”—London Tit-Bits. Altogether Wrong Idea About Caveman’s Wooing So the caveman, it seems, wasn’t such a devil of a fellow, after all. These stories that he won his woman by clouting her over the head with a club are the inventions' of pale high brows who, possibly, get a vicarious delight out of the roughneck tech nique they have bestowed upon the chaps of long ago. Wellra lie can be young but once and the truth can never die. And it has come about, ns it was sure to do, through some digging in tlie Grotto of Isturitz, that we at last have a real, authentic pic ture of the caveman’s courtship. It Is an exquisite bit of carving, with no suggestion of violence, but, rather, of gentle, persuasive wooing in the best Victorian tradition. The fiancee is carrying a bouquet of orchids which her hero, we feel sure, scaled an Alp to get. And that pale remnant of a scrawl is easily identified as a son net to his lady’s eyebrow. It might be' remarked, too, in closing, that the cavewoman had a fine, sweeping, un- plucked eyebrow which might well in spire a sonnet—or an epic.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Life in the Ocean* As in the world above the surface of the water there are many varieties of parasites, so, too, there are lazy creatures in the oceans which get a free ride through life. Rock perches are frequently encrusted with hun dreds of polyps, which hang to its skin and which the poor fish is un able to shake loose. The hermit crab thrust Itself into a colony of sea- anemones, which are armed witli a formidable battery of stinging cells, and hence are given a wide berth by hungry fish. As the crab lias a shell j which is not Irritated by the sting-. cells, it lives in peaceful security from the attacks of iish which know better than to mix up with the anemones. But how the anemones regard the in truder is not known. Gobi Desert Winner In the vast Gobi desert of Asia the camel and the pony still are used for transportation just ns they were in tiie days of Genghis Khan, that great, ori ental conqueror of all Asia. At infre quent intervals streams have to be crossed, and some* of them are ^too deep or swift to lie forded. ~ In such cases ferries are used. The camel of these high, cold deserts is of the Bnc- trian breed, quite distinct from the dromedary, native to low, North Af- fjean deserts. The dromedary has but one hump and the Bactrain camel two, A heavy coat of wool enables the IJttctrian camel to withstand the rigors\of ids environment.

South African growers experimented and found that similar fruit could be pro duced only under special conditions.
