NEW TRIER FOOTBALL MEN GET HIGH PLACES New Trier High school football heroes figured in the reckoning of a|_ leading Chicago Daily in selection of an All-Suburban league team. The fortunate men granted places on the second squad were W. Kerr, selected for Guard, Wright chosen for Center and Weinecke accepted as Fullback. Sporting critics generally conceded these men were actually of first team class but they were pushed out of the reckoning in that strata by mem- bers of the "college weight" Oak Park eleven. New Trier was one of the lightest teams, man for man, in the champion- ship race. "THE TREMBLING HOUR" AT HOYBURN THEATER SAT.

Is it worth while then with chil- dren to give some consideration to their amusements and to endeavor to develop intelligent and enduring interests for leisure hours? There are some characteristics these interests and activities should possess. First, they should be creat- ive and self-directed; only in this way do they lead to self-control Getting up dramatic entertainments, planning and preparing dresses and scenery supplies this essential, but sitting in a theater watching the screen does not. Far from develop- ing self-direction, it puts the young people under the influence of group t+. The drive started on December emotion and lays them open to subtle | 3 and will continue through three weeks. PLAYLETS A SUCCESS The New Trier Dramatic club gave a creditable presentation of three playlets Saturday evening which were | enjoyed by many north shore Tes: | interests idents. A large audience was present. LIMITS propaganda of every type. Secondly: Growing interests ' should be encouraged, the longer pur- sued, the more rewarding. and they should require little expenditure of esting and useful friends among those of like tastes; they generally give exercise and take one in the open air, and, best of all, will produce a cultivation that will graee to any length of years. But the taste for the Movie theater is not to be found in this group. It shuts the enthusiast in close, crowd- ed rooms and bad air, encourages laziness of mind, makes generally a sensational or emotional appeal, cul- tivates little discrimination or judg- ment and encourages the spending of money for a transitory pleasure which contributes to a lessening rather than a growing enthusiasm. For the Movie-fan, in time, is bored by his own entertainment and goes often from habit as much as from in- terest. Going to the Movie theater is a legimate occupation for adults who} have reached years of discretion and can discern, select and reject. For young people, except as an occasion- al amusement, it can only be a serious detriment. In a democratic country it is essential that its youth shall be train- ed in habits of thrift, in sentiments of right and just feeling, in tastes that are wholesome, pure and beauti- ful, and in interests that are self- directed, intelligent and thoughtful. --By Alice Moulton.

NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK "National Thrift Week" will be ob- served in the United States during the week beginning January 17th, 1920. One day during the week will be known as "Own Your Own Home Day. Twenty-two million people went on record as being willing to save during the various financial drives of the government, and it is believed that it is important to the welfare of the country to turn the thought of the peoviz to investment in homes. WHITE SOX LEAD INDOOR FLAG RACE Flossie Voltz Fans 16 Pale Hose in . Six Innings but Poor Fielding and Breaks Against Him Gives Op- ponents Victery _ The White Sox took the lead. in the indoor flag race Wednesday evening at the Community House by a 7.2 victory over the Reds, with whom they were tied for first place before the game. The Cubs are now tied for second place as they finished the evening with a 23-7 win in a loosely ., plaved contest with the Giants. The first game was a rather easy victory for the Sox as they acquired 'a five run lead in the first two ses- . siors. That five run lead, coupled with the breaks of the game and poor fielding by the Reds and Cazel's excellent hurling spélled defeat for the Voltz aggregation and as the in- nings reeled off without anything but zeros showing in the run column for the losers everyone knew that the battle was over. i Spectacular fielding by Fastman at first base saved Nash several times. Tn batting Woods and Eastman led for the victors with a couple of swats each. Harry Deiley garnered half of the Reds' quartet of hits. Pitching honors were about even. Seven hits and five walks was the allotment for the Pale Bose allowed by "Flossre" Voltz while the Crimson warriors walked three times. However. Nash only struck out 1) men to the six- teen whiffed by his rival. } Cubs Swamp Giants : The second came started out like a whirlwind. The Cubs won the toss and Kreger was immediately pom- meled for a auartet of counters by the Giants. His team mates drove in three in their half however. and af- ter a goose egg was chalked against the Giants in the beginning of the second the Bears added another string of three. Tn the beginning of the third the Giants evened up the court but were completely swamped in the same inning by a seven-rum rallv of their opponents. After that things went Kreger's way at all times. His mates kept up the heavy artillery each inning until the count became pathetically one-sided. Harry Anderson began the mound duties for the losers but was forced to let Dehmlow finish the pastime. Harry had the consolation of fanning seven men in three innings (but he hates to think of what occurred be- tween those strike-outs). He made up in a measure by making a circuit swat in the third inning, the only one this year in the league. Kreger fanned 16 men in the seven innings of struggle and held the usually hard-hitting Giants to seven bingles. Lucchesi was the big slug- ger of the games as he bagged five | hits in eight times at the bat. Siegel was next with four, Carpenter of the | Giants also making four. | | "The shortstopping of Lee Schaefe- | hen was the one bright spot in the | Giants otherwise ragged defense.

As the Cubs defeated their coming opponents: « I twice this season the odds are with |them to win another game. The Giants will make a desperate fight to tie for third place in their game with the Reds. The standing at present: W. 1. Pct.

The words of Captain Carland may be particularly heeded by frolicksome children because already there have been some narrow escapes whew young children have ventured too far out into the lake, feeling that they were secure on a firm bottom of ice. "That snow and ice is deceiving," said Captain Carland this week. "It is not strongly packed and although you can walk some distance without sinking in there are weak spots where you may lose your footing and sink clear through the slush into deep water."
