P"onow1n im what the Davenpcrt
Democrat has to say regarding the
approaching Turkey day battle be
tween the high school football teams
of Daren port and Moline:
The football machines of the Dav
enport and Moline high schools will
tart the game on Thanksgiving af
ternoon on a practically t-ven basis.
The Swedes are of the same weight
a the Davenport eleven but are a
hade behind the local players in ex
perience, Mollne, however, has a
much faster backfleld than Coach Nix
on's machine and with this speed they
hope to gain a decisive victory.
"Mollne backers are so sure of a
Tlotory that they are giving odds if
there Is any money to be setn. By
the time the day of the battle arrives
this fever will have subsided as the
red and blue players are gaining favor.
It Is probable that home backers
will soon be giving odds as they are
ore that the team will not fail them
iu this crisis.
WARM WEATHER NEEDED.
With warm weather on Thanksgiv
ing day Coach Nixon figures on win-
sing the game. He has had his men
through hard workouts all the
past wek and has the players In the
pink of condition for the final battle.
For the remainder of the week only
ignal practice will be handed out to
the men. This will give the play
ers a good rest and on the final day
they will be in
mind.

At High School
Another custom at the high school i
of this city has been done away with '
by the jun'ors of that institution. This
year no Junior hop, or foo ball dance
will be given, but in its place, the jun
iors will entertain the football men
at a party, t obe held Friday, Dec. 6, ac
cording to the decision reached by the
third year class at a meeting held last i
evening. Heretofore the juniors have
annually given a dance in honor of the
eleven, but complaint having been
made against the practice by the
board of education.
I The date set for the party last night
at the class meeting, was Friday Dec.
6, but a question was. raised by a
I a member of the basketball team, if
this could be done, as he said the high
: school faculty basketball game was to
i be played at that time. If this is true,
the party will probably be given on
Saturday following, Dec. 7. The place
is not as yet definitely been decided
but will probably be held in the gym
nasium of the high school. President
Will Whisler of the juniors, has ap
pointed a number of committees to ar
range so that all present will have the
time of their life. The number of in
vitations to the affair have been re
stricted. The committees appointed
are as follows: Games, Elizabeth
Sperry, lies Gansert, and Winifred
Reck; decorations, Horace Mason,
Margaret Cook, and Mary Morrison;
refreshments, Elizabeth Chaney, Earl

Christmas
There are many people to whom the
Christmas season is a nightmare.
Among these are the postofflce employ
ees, the expressmen, the deliverymen
and the clerks of both sexes, especial
ly in the department stores. Of all
these the clerks orobablv get the worst
f , and women c,erks fee, the
bnrden most because they are less able
physically to bear the strain.
As Christmas approaches their work
grows heavier and their hours longer.
They are compelled to do night work.
their lunch hour and relaxation periods
are curtailed, and they work at high
tension and In a rush that saps their
vitality. Christmas eve is especially
terrible. Then they must hurry at
breakneck speed in a turmoil frequent
ly till midnight, when they are physi
cally and mentally exhausted from the
grilling labor.
In what condition ia one of thet&
shopgirls to enjoy Christmas? She
has contrlbnted to the happiness of
others, but has none of It for herself.
Much of her burden could be relieved
If the trading public were only thought
ful and would SHOP EARLY.
The very soul of Christmas is
tbonghtfulness for the happiness of
others Why cannot sre begin it by be
tng thoughtful of these, our helpers,
who make the celebration of the day
possible? They are human beings, the

AN INGENIOUS CLOCK."
Curious Automaton That Was Made In
London a Century Ago.
One of the most wonderful time
keepers known to horologists was
made in London, England, a hundred
years ago and was sent by the presi
dent of the East India compnny as a
gift to the eniperor of China. The
case was made iu the form of a
chariot in which was seated the figure
of a woman.
This figure was of pure ivory and
gold, and the right hand rested upon a i
tiny clock, fastened to the side of the
chariot. Portions of the wheels which
kept track of the flight of time were
hidden in the lody of a tiny bird,
which had seeininaly just alighted
upon the woman's finder.
There was a canopy al'nve, so ar
ranged as to conceal a silver bell. The
bell was fitted with a little hammer,
also of silver, which, although it did
not appear to have any connection
I with the clock, struck the hours regu
j larly and could lie mmle to repeat by
i touching a diamond on the woiuau's
j bodice.

j there was a goltleu Azure of a iloz.
