Suppose you stere appearing on
one of those Quiz Programmes
which still clutter up the air waves
to some extent, although not as
much—Praise be!—as they did for-
merly. The jovial and corn -cracking
quiz -plaster asks you to state who .
you think are the busiest and hard-
est -working group of athletes in
the business; and, naturally, you
haven't the time or opportunity to
go delving into the dope for the
facts.
Just what would your answer be
to that 64 -kopeck question? Very
probably you'd say the professional
golfers, who, for a fact, do seem
to be shooting for dough and glory
—in that order—practically twelve
months per annum. And, up to a
little while ago, that would very
likely have been our answer too.
But it now appears that we'd
both have been wrong. We have
just been scanning a resume of a
years activities of a bunch of
muscle -men who—although they
don't hit the headlines as often as
the Sam Sneads, Ben Hogans, etc.
—would seem to make the divot -
diggers look like a tot of slugabeds.
,Not to make too great a mystery
of it, the gentlemen referred to are
the Harlem Globetrotters, undoubt-
edly the best knoxvrt basketbali
team on earth.
Merry Menagerie--ByWaicDismy� Just take a look: at the recordl
nµ0 -n N-• Last year the Trotters played 153
"regular -season" games. They add-

from
rusty, they finished up by playing
no less than 73 games in various
parts of Europe and North Africa.
That totes up to 247 barges and
of that number the Trotters finished
on the short end a mere ten tinges,
which must be solne sort of a re-

According to Owner -Coach Abe
Saperstein, of the Trotter's, right
now Europe is a veritable hotbed
of basketball. (We had an idea it
was a hotbed of several other
things, but we'll leave that to the
Politicians,) The coloured boys from
Harlem are already scheduled for
96 games in 17 European coun-
tries, as well as 249 allies in South
America, between next May 14 and
Labour Day. In addition Saper-
stein, who originated the Globe
Trotters just a decade ago, plans
to go back for at least five years
more. That is, if world conditions
permit—which we sincerely ]lope
they do.
The. 1:rotters, in addition to play-
ing a lot of games, play to a lot
of people,
"We played to half a million
people on our 73 -game tour last
summer," he said here recently,
"We had sell-outs practically every-
where including some 15,000 in
Paris and close to that two straight
nights in Genoa. In Brighton, Eng-
land, we played to 48,000 fans over
a six -night span including royalty
the final night. And they want us
for two more weeks this year,"
Lip to Deccmber 15 this :;easou
they had played 44 games on their
United States tour and won all 44.
According to Saperstein the travel-
ling basketball circus has played
before sellouts everywhere except
Cleveland and Chicago, "In Cleve-
land," explains Saperstein, "we hit
that bad snowstorm but still drew
9,600—only 1,500 short of capacity,
In Chicago we drew 9,000 on the
night of the Walcott -Layne fight
which was televised." Don't be
surprised if some time in the near
future the Globetrotters go after
the world attendance record of
25,000 set in Buenos .Aires, Argen-
tina.
Which should be about enotigh
regarding the Harlent Globetrotters
—and basketball—for the time be.,
ing. Wonder when we are going
to see a few coloured boys playing
top-ranking professional hockey,
Mightn't be a bad thing for "the
world's fastest sport," at that. Just
a couple of weeks ago, The New
York Rangers played to exactly
5,806 customers—the smallest crowd
since depression days,

Q. Is it all right for all illlullar•
vied woman to attach the tial(
"Miss" to her name when signing
a letter?
A. ()illy if tilt, title is env'osed ill
parentheses, as, "(:hiss) Ruth
Thompson." Generally, if flic ivri-
ter signs her name nicrely "Ruth
Thompson," it is taken for granted
that she is unmarrictl. llovcver, if
she wishes to be sure that the
reply to her iN addieszed properly,
she will include the title as above.
Q. Is it necessary, when taking
leave of a group to which one has
been introduced, to bid each one
"good -by" separately?
A. No, A cordial "goad -by" with
a smile that includes everyone is
all that is ueces,ary.

Q. Who provides the bouton-
nieres for the ushers and best man
at a wedding?
A. The bridegroom.
Q. When a young married wom-
an is introducing her unmarried
sister to another person, does she
refer to her tinter merely as "Miss
Barnes?"
A. The best procedure is to state
the relationship, as, "Mrs, Ilarris,
this is my sister, Ethel Barnes."

Q. When one is a guest at a
small dinner, should one accept
a helping of every dish offered?
A. Yes. We all have our likes
and dislikes, btat at.a small dilliner
it is embarrassing to the hostess
when a guest refuses a dish. •One
can always manage at least a small
quantity.
Q. Should a man apologize for
his glove when he is wearing thele
andshakes hands with a woman?
A, No, this is not required.
Q. If a man is walking with a

Q: Is it proper to snail engraved
announcements of an engagement?
A. This is not customary. Usu-
ally the engagement is announced
by the girl's parents at a tea or
party, or by way .of a newspaper
announcement.
Q. When leaving a person to
whom one has just been introduced,
is'it proper to say, "Good -by, Mr.

Save A Life
Most accidents happen in
the home. • As in this true
story told by a farm safety
expert.
"Janie! Janie! Time to get up!"
Hazel Thompson called up the
stairs to her 10 -year-old daughter.
Hazel herself had been up just long
enough to start a fire in the kitchen
range.
"Conlin.-, lfother," Janie called
sleepily.
Mrs. Thompson went back to
the task of getting breakfast. She
set out the dishes, then went to
the stove for another look at the
fire. Not very promising. Almost
out. But she stirred it with the
poker, then hopefully put the lid
back.
"What can I (to, Mother?" It
was Janie, now wide awake as she
entered the kitchen.
"You set the table, I'll get some
meat cooked. Those men will be
here in a little while." Hazel again
lifted the stove lid, poked the fire,
"It's all out. That kindling is
too wet Dad will haveto get
something better today if he ex-
pects his meals on time. Well, a
little kerosene should fisc it,"
"That's dangerous, Mother," said
Janie.
"Oh, it won't be if I'm care-
ful. I'll just pour in a little,
then toss a match into it,"
As she spoke, Mrs, Thompson
poured a little kerosene from
the can she had gotten from
the back porch.
The liquid hardly ,touched the
kindling when ... flash!
There was a sheet of fire, The
whole stove seemed ablaze, The
kerosene can, too. Hazel rushed
to throw it out the door when her
clothes burst into flames.
As sIge burst thru the door she
bumped into her husband. Mr.
Thompson quickly grabbed his
wife, laid her on the floor and
covered her with an old blanket
lying in the corner.
Yes, Hazel Thompson lived, She
was lucky—just severe burns on
]ter arms and legs. But suppose
Mr. Thompson hadn't been on the
porch at just the right tinge? And
suppose lie hadn't known what to
do. Maley farm woolen have died
from similar accidents.
}laze], you see, had thought the
fire was completely out. But there
were a few ' sparks left — just
enough to ignite the kerosene.
Never, never use kerosene to
make a fire or to help make a slow
fire burn more rapidly.
