HIGH CAGERS HAD ONE OF BEST YEARS. The season of 1926-27\was the bau nor year of basketball in scholastic cir cles of Kannapolis. With a contin gent of rookies Coacltes Gillnm and I Mauldin produced a team that would have done credit to any institution of learning. A new interest in the sport was awakened and the attendance at the games broke all past records. Known as the “Little Wonders," the team compiled a fine record in the first ten games of the season, only one opponent being able to register vic tory. Additional lustre was added to this record when the local quint won over the famed Charlotte highs, 25 to 15. it be : ng the only setback the Queen City lads suffered at the hands of a North Carolina high team during the regular season. j The Belmont Abbey outfit checked | the brilliant march, however, and tin* j Wonders fell upon lean days. The | team did not come up to expectations j from then until the opening elimina i t ion game in that it lacljed consister j cy. Had the Kannapolis five possess - i ed a gymnasium to stage games this •■ part of the review might have been •eliminated. fti all, Cue team annexed 15 victor ies. eight defeats, and one tie. Os the I eight defeats only five were handed out by North Carolina high school I quintets. The team amassed 577 j points against 405 enemy markers. Bi i lent "Country” Roll ns, one of the /greatest scaring r.ren.s m this state, j was high point mao for iht season. In j the contest with Rockwell Rollins | racked up 32 points and pitted l against Alt. Holly he was responsible , for 22 of the 44 numerals pocketed by | the Kannapolis five. The Kannapolis girls met with med iocre suet ess during the past cam panil. winning three out of nine games played. But every game was enacted on foreign soil and without the services of a coach.

AVnshington, I>. C., Feb. 25. —Fif- teen Countries will be represented at the fourth regular session of the Amer ican Institute of International Law, at Montevideo next mouth. The Uru guayan Society of International Law will be the host of the meeting. The American Institute of Interna tional Law is a private organization, although the governments of the vari ourt;-. Lahip-American countries have taken a deep interest in its activities and it was at the invitation of these governments that its second, third and fourth sessions have been called. It is expected that through its activities a body of international law acceptable to all the American republics will j eventually result. The coming conference is expected i to study the proposals of public inter j national law adopted by the institute I at its meeting in Lima two years ago. | It also will consider a draft code of j private international law prepared by Dr. Antonio S. de Bustamente at the request of the I’an-American Union. . Considerable importance is attached to the session because its projects and findings will form the basis of dis cussion a( the •meeting of American jurists to be held iu Rio de Janeiro in April under the uafcpices of the Pan-American Union for the codifica tion of public and private internation al law.

For one thing, the woman of the household is sometimes careless about her appearance when the tele ■ phone company’s representative calls ] shortly after breakfast to hook up ; the instrument. It is embarrassing to nay the least, a veteran reports. Then there is the ca.se of a house wife in the Bronx who objeetei When an automatic instrument was installed. Bhe wanted the manual kind, protesting that she could not read English characters on the dials of the others. ‘Do you suppose if I went to Rus sia they would put au American style telephone in for me?” the iu * staller commented. ‘You would be surprised at the npmber of people of New Y’ork who cannot read or write English, yet they expect the operator to guess at the numbers they attempt to. give.” The so-called “art” magazines ui which nudity was displayed have disappeared from the newstand*. presumably as a result of the recent drives against them.
