Official football rules for next fall
are out and there are several changes
in them which probably will have a
more open. Alterations have been
made on the forward pass, on the
penalty for hurdling and. roughness,
fouling, time to he taken out and the
intcrmissi0n between halves.
The change in which the football
enthusiasts are most Interested Is
the forward pass. although the alter
atoms are not so great rs to make
much difference. The rule regarding
that particular play was altered to the
extent that when the forward pass =
legally touched only the man OF the
passer's side who first thus legally
touches 1t shall be entitled to recover
the ball until 1t has been touched by
an opponent. Also. II a forward pass
is thus legally touched by another
player Of the passer's side before the
ball has touched opponent, the oval
shall go to the opponents on the side
where 1t was first legally touched.
May Not Use Hands.
SpaldinE's guide also states in re-
gard to that play that while the ball
is in the air for forward pass play
ers of the defensive side may not use
their hands or arms on opponents.
except to push them out OF the way
in order to get the ball themselves.
Players Of the side making the pass
who are eligible to receive the ball
may use the hands and arms. as in
case Of players going down the field
under a kick. Neither side may
however. hold to tackle an opponent

First a captivating plumpness begins to steal
upon woman in her twcnties. Plumpness is fol.

chin that is double and the comlcal numbering

a woman to exercise. Why not counsel flying
She is as able to do the one as the other It's
another keen cut to suggest dieting. When ladies
are just so fat they haven't an ounce Of will
power or energy to spare for extras, just living
is hard enough work for them
What then? Are these unfortunates condemned
to be fat for life? No. Believe it or not a
simple home receipt easy to get at drug store
will take that fat off and keep it of. Listen.

No Mercy on Reporters.
In other words, Mr.. Carlin is the big
noise as gladhander. He is the ever
lasting ultimate as back-slapper. He is
the real thing in rib-ticklers. And, leap
Ing for the nonce into the realm of high
proved metaphor, he is the most rakish
craft that ever sailed the Spanish main
of official life, ready and willing to ravish
rich and unprotected conveys of publicity.
When his battle lanterns flare and his
drums beat to quarters, when he throws
his head into the wind and fires a pre-

some poor reportorial merchantmen, it is
all over but walking the plank. Fol-

figures that Representative Charles c.

INDIAN FAMINE WORKS.
Outlook This Year Is Very Discour-
aging.

aging.
Special Cablegram to The Star
CALCUTTA, February 29.-The terrible
thing in India now is not the o-tremity
Of local famines, but the general scarcity
throughout the country, proved by the
continual rise in the price of grain. In
the Deccan, in eastern Bengal, in CAL
cutta, Benares and Allahabad the same
complaint is made. Within twenty
years wages may have doubled, but the
cost of common food has quadrupled.
even when famine prices have not been
reached. as happens now in large districts
every year. Life is becoming harder for
all working people and for all people with
fixed incomes, while the only people who
do not notice the increasing burden are
the few who could not possibly eat up
to their incomes if they tried. But in
the United Provinces, some twenty miles
south Of the Jumna and Allahabad, the
direct cause of famine Is obvious enough
Not a drop of rain has fallen since the
first week of September, and day by day
the sun rises clear in sky like steel. AS
a rule the rain lasts till we'll on in Oc-
tober and the winter rains begin III De-
cember. This season the December har-
vest was almost ruined, and the ground
was SO hard tnat scarcely quarter of
the usual crops could be sown for the
greater harvest that ought to come in
March. If no rain falls men who have
known all the Indian famines since the
seventies believe that this years famine
will be the very worst India has ever
suffered.
Preparati tons for the famine began in
October Last month what are called
test works were established. On these
works heavy tasks are set and no pay
ment is made except for work accom-
plished. 1t is believed that nothing but
real hunger will drive men to work of
this kind. and so when 1000 men were
found to be laboring at each of the test
works it was assumed that hunger was
general and a state of famine" was de-
clared A state of famine implies re-
lief work on which the government pays
a fixed rate OF wages to all workers, and
assistance of some kind is given to every
one who comes-women, children. babies
and the old. The rate is decided by the
famine commissioner according to his
estimate Of the price of grain, which in
this case he has fixed for the time at
eighteen pounds to the rupee t33 cents).
This gives d payment of cents a day
for diggers, whether men or women (but
hardly any women agree TO Dig; cents
for carriers chiefly women; cents for
children and l cent for babies. There are
a few other notifications, and women
who give birth to a baby on the works
are rewarded with "a gift Of 80 cents.
