CHIC LITTLE ACTRESSES WOULD MEET
LOCAL GIRLS BASKET BALL TEAM
Through Their Advance Agent, Pretty Maids of 1.-The Girl
Question Have Issued Challenge to the Local Fol-
lowers of the Exciting Sport.

The $1,000 Beauty Brothers," who
appear here in The Girl Question at
the Gennett Thursday, would like TO
meet the girls high school basket ball
team in a game of basket ball to be
played Thursday afternoon. These lit
tie "broilers," ten in number, are
playing girl high school basket ball
teams in a number OF the cities in
which the Girl Que stion'' appears,
and are anXiosu to meet the Richmond
team. In some way the fame of the
local aggregation of girl ball tossers
has gotten 10 the ears of the show
girls and they are anxious to demon
strate TO the satisfaction Of themsel-
YES and Richmond people that the
high school girls cannot play basket
ball as good as they think. The "broil-
ers' are exceedingly quick, due of
course to their dancing training, and
they are practically tireless from the
same cause, so that 10 matter how
fast and furious the game goes they
are apparently as fresh at its end as
they were at its beginning Despite
the fact that none OF these girls are
over five feet two inches tall, and the
heaviest weighs less than 125 pounds

STATE STOCKMEN
FEAR TAX INCREASE
Miss Mary Stubbs Is Having
Trouble in Getting
Statistics.
FIGHT SHY OF REPORTS.
BELIEVE THAT 1T is A SCHEME
TO INCREASE TAXATION AMONG
THE FANCY BREEDERS OF IN
DIANA-2, 900 OWNERS.

Miss Mary Stubs, chief of the In
diana bureau of statistics, is having
some difficulty in gathering informa-
ton in regard to pure bred live stock
in Indiana. The breeders of such
stock, it seems. have the idea that in
formation which is sent in by them
will be used as part Of scheme to
increase their taxes. For this reason
many are slow i'll filling out the blanks
which have been distributed by the
bureau.
The plan Of gathering statistics on
pure bred live stock was first cOnsid-
cred at the meeting last year of the In
diana Live Stock Breeders associa-
ton At that time a committee was
appointed to confer with the state sta.
tistician on the subject. Miss Stubs
declares there is no plan to use this
Information in any taxation scheme.
The bureau has obtained the names
Of more than 10000 persons owning OF
breeding pure bred stock, she said
land letters and blanks have been
sent TO these owners. but the respon
ses have been slow. The prevailing
idea that il is a scheme to increase
the farmers taxes has kept many from
replying, but the individual report will
be confidential and only the totals for
each breed in each county of the state
will be given. For this reason we arc
particularly anxious that every one
should take active interest in this
matter, so that when the report is
published, each county will make the
proper showing When completed q
copy of this book is as much the prop
erty of one breeder as another anG
will be mailed on request"

poor scores We're made throughout the
contest. This was due to two reasons.
The pins were new and broke badly
for both teams, an unusually large
number of splits predominating. The
other reason attributed for the poor
bowling was a slight nervous effect
created by the presence Of such a
large number of spectators, particular
