Bio Change in Basket Ball.

A committee appointed by the Anna
teur Athletic union to confer with the
college athletic authorities regarding
basket ball has just announced that for
the first time in the history of that
game the amateur and collegiate rules
this year will be alike This result
was attained through a number of
open meetings held during the winter
and by a mail vote. The principal
point of disagreement was the dribble
rule. The new uniform rule now
adopted is in substance as follows:
Dribbling will be permitted. and at the
End of the dribble player will be al
lowed to throw for goal If he makes

Georges Carpenter.

is always in danger of death, but in
war tipes the dangers of losing his
life are multiplied.
To Be Honored.
If Carpenters life is spared, and
the warning nations lay down their
arms. he will probably become one OF
the most prominent figures in Europe
and it would be no surprise If the
French government conferred some
high official honors upon him-maybe
some big job in the employ of the
natiCn.
Carpenter is one of the most pic
turesque figures in the history OF
sport He took up boxing when Il
was inaugurated in France. and won
championship after championship un
til he captured the heavyweight cham
pionship from Bombardier Wells He
has the honor of holding every ring
title from fiyweight to the topweight
class.
He won on foul from Gunboat
Smith in London early last summer
and earned fortune for this victory
The result caused all kinds of dis.
cussion, it being question in the
minds of the American public whether
Smith quit or whether Georges was
really hit low
1t would not be surprising to hear
that when his country no longer needs
him. Carpenter will come to this
ountry and challenge for a fight for
the heavyweight championship of the
world.

PROVES HIS GAMENESS
Courage Of Georges Carpenter
Shown in Great War.
American Fight Fans Thought He Had
Streak of Yellow on Account of
Actions in Fight Years Ago
With Billy Papke.

Most American followers OF box
ing have always had an idea that
Georges Carpenter, heavyweight
champion of Europe and greatest idol
in the history of French sports, has
every qualification OF boxing cham
pion with the exception OF gameness.
This was particularly impressed on
their minds when he quit to Bill
Papke. former worlds middleweight
champion. in II rounds in Paris
few years ago However, this idea
has been proved false since the great
est European war started Carpen-
tiers European record in the big
struggle has shown him to be man
OF unusual courage.
Within Gun Range.
During the early months OF the war
Carpenter was used as a messenger.
1t was his duty to carry messages on
a motorcycle from one general to an
other Often he was obliged to come
mighty close to the enemys guns-in
fact. near enough to forfeit his life II
he came in the path of stray bullets
as he was frequently within range.
What do you think he is doing
now? And it is the supreme test of
courage. He is plotting one of those
airships that have to go up many
thousands of feet in the air and get
line on where the Germans and
Austrians are situated. At any time
he is in danger of having his ma
chine struck by shot-and then 1t is

should be careful in purchasing berry
boxes that will not meet the require
ments OF the state law, as such boxes
and their contents are subject to con
fiscation by the food inspectors. The
wet season will no doubt make our
homegrown berries soft, and consid.
cradle care should be used in packing
them dry and loose.
Mr.. Barney gives the following as
the best method of handling straw
berries, raspberries and blackberries
in the home. The berries should be
at once emptied upon plates and the
berries spread out so as to permit of
the free circulation of air. The plates
should then be placed in cool, but
dry place. A shelf in the pantry is a
far better place than on a damp Gel
lar floor. Ice boxes. In which the air
is still and damp, is very poor place
for berries.

Burling ton Gazette: The passing Of
Secretary Edward Z. Egan of the
Commercial Exchange last evening is
source of widespread regret among
the citizens of Burlington, who had
learned to appreciate the valua BILE
service Mr. Egan was performing for
this city No doubt the present pros
porous condition of the Commercial
Exchange is due to the earnest and
persistent efforts Of the late secretary,
who indeed gave its affairs unremit-
ting attention. Mr.. Egan had plans
for the future that would have been
a source of much benefit to Burling-
ton. They were plans that could not
be worked out in a day or week,
but he was laboring with one end in
view and it is too bad he could not
have survived to see its elimination.
The successor of Mr.. Egan will find
his path clear, due to the painstaking
efforts of his predecessor Mr.. Egan
was an intelligent. observant gentle
man, a man of boundless good nature
and a diplomat. AS husband and
father he could not be excelled. Ever
kindly and considerate within and
without the family circle. his loss is
a severe blow to those who knew him
and who hoped against hope that he
would be spared.

BERRY BOXES MUST
GIVE SQUARE DEAL
! No Raised Bottoms Go This Year, Ac-
cordina to Bulletin from Iowa
WEIGHTS Department

AS means of promoting fair deal
ing in fresh berries and small fruits
commonly sold in boxes, the Iowa
weight and measure law makes it
compulsory to sell these fruits in
boxes having an interior capacity of
one quart. pint or half pint dry
measure. The use of boxes of any
other capacity is prohibited even
when such boxes bear a statement as
to the quantity they contain.
The use of boxes of standard sizes
with raised bottoms is not prohibited:
on the contrary their use is strongly
recommended by the dairy and food
commissioner, w. B. Barney. He
points out the fact that the raised
bottom prevents the crushing of the
fruit in the lower boxes when they
are packed in the usual form of ship
ping case. and insures the berries
reaching the consumer in far better
condition than when the flush bottom
boxes are used. The raised bottom
also permits air to circulate more
freely beneath the berries, keeping
them drier. and less likely to be con-
taminated with mold.
Mr.. Barney receives numerous COM
plants in regard to berry boxes that
are not full of berries when pur-
chased. A box Of berries when it
leaves the field is, or should be,
packed full but loosely. As these
boxes jar and jolt during shipment,
there is considerable settling of the
fruit and the boxes appear short
when received. This shrinkage Is I'M
avoidable and is greater on berries
that have been shipped long distances.
AS our homegrown berries require
but short hauls to reach the market
the boxes will be found more nearly
full and less compast.

Measurements Made Of Length ..
Streams Thrown by Pump oon'-
pared With Normal
Fire Pressure.
DOUBLES THE DISTANCE
Engine Throws Stream Nearly Twice
az Far az Fire Pressure in
Mains Supplied by the
Water Works.

The first tests of the new automo-
bile fire truck recently purchased by
the city were made this afternoon on
Grand avenue about three blocks on
the outer side of Rand park. The
tests today were made for the pur-
pose of comparing the pressure that
can be obtained with the engine
pumper in comparison with the pres
sure given by the water works
through a dead end" main.
The tests were made with two lines
of hose through nozzels of different
diameters and through one nozzel at
tached with two lines of hose through
a "Siamese."
With nozzles Of Us inch diameter
the ordinary fire pressure supplied
by the water works threw a stream
of water lit feet Through the same
size nozzle the engine pump threw
the stream ISL feet. With l " inch
nozzle the engine pump threw the
stream a distance Of 1875 feet. With
one and one-eighth inch nozzle at
tached to two lines of hose the stream
was thrown 206 feet.
A test made with a nozzle rs inch
in diameter, the six inch water
main was unable to supply the water
as fast as the engine pumped it. For
this reason no measurements were
made of the distance the water was
thrown by this nozzle. This test will
be made tomorrow when the hose
will be attached to larger main.
Tomorrow the rest Of the tests will
be made with the machine on the
down town streets. The tests will
be made at Sixth and Main ans at
Fourth and Main. They will be start
ed at o'clock.
City officials, including the mayor
and councilmen, and large number
Of others were present when the tests
were made. Everyone seemed ex-
tremely well satisfied with the results
of the tests.
