BENNETT TELLS GOOD ROADS
 CONGRESS- HIGHWAY DEPT.
 SHOULD BE NON-POLITICAL

outside body. such as state or mu11i- cipal civil service commission. The whole idea, of such a department and the organization of the force should be to secure the right men in the right places and keep them there while they give good service.
 The measure of a, mans value is in the results he gains in actual ser- vice and knowledge of a mans albil- 1ty can only be secured by the record of his achievements from day to day.
 Tn the organization of @ force, a chart should be prepared showing the connection between employees, show ing to whom an empFoye should re- port and stating distinctly what his duties shall be.
 Tn selecting employees to deal with the public men should be sought who are tactful. intelligent and polite in their intercourse with people, An employe should be instructed that at all times 1t is necessary for him to be fair and reasonable and to keep his tenper..s
 MT Bennett urged the need Of sys- tenn of accounting through which em- pIoyes might know the amount of
 work done, it's nature and its cost On the second proposition. Conrnds- sioner Bennett said that a road de- parbnent has the duty Of presenting its operationsi to the public eve not only as results on the roads themselves but in the success or failure of the de- partment as a financial proposition. This presentation must be made in the form of a periodical report to some superior body or officer. A report should be readable and interesting to the laynnan. Fluctuations Of records should be as simple as possible and should give definitely the details

That is. the depart ment should be sub-divtded so that each part might have certain duties with a definite amount to spend. Each gab -d4vkston should report directly to the superior officer and through this superior offbcer to the military head. The organization should be such that subord dtlate but should rather go t1roi1gh subofxdi dinate In other words, the department should be i'm bned with the spirit and aims Of the man at the head for in this ways each man ndu work so far as is possible along the same lines and the results gained will be more nearly uniform and standard.

stated Wilson. Promoters of Roswell,

also want either Williams or Duffey
to box there.

VI ASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. s.
w While the basketball rules
have not been changed greatly
since last year. some sections have
been -overhauled so that they now are
much more explicit. To the casual
spectator there Is nothing in the rules
to cause the game to appear differ
ent from what 1t was in the season
OF 1918, but there are points which
affect the play considerably under
certain conditions.
The most important and really the
only differences are those changes
relative to a ball when it is thrown
up by. the referee and to the play
Of the ball when it goes outside. One
of the players is not now allowed to
make an attempt to bat the BAH when
IT is thrown up between two while
the man throwing the ball in from the
outside is given practically a free op-
portunity to get it TO one Of his team
mates.
1t has sometimes been the practice
of players to face in any direction
when the referee was about to toss up
the ball, but now the two men who
are 10 be given chance to bat it
must face toward the basket into
which they are trying to make goals.
In section 5 OF rule 2 the players are
compelled to bat the ball instead of
being allowed to catch it as has for
merly been done many times
The other change is in section p
of rule II. This prohibits the player
inside from touching the ball while
II is IN the hands Of an opponent
when that opponent is making the
throw from outside the court. Here
rOfore man could crowd up close to
the boundary line and strike or block
the pass before it had left his oppO-
nents hand, but this season he is not
allowed to extend any portion of his
body outside the boundary line. This
gives the man outside almost a free
throw. as there is not much chance
