HOOVER SAYS FOOD PRICES ARE
TO DROP!

Food Administrator Hoover gave
notice to the public that 1.-THE corner
has been turned" in high food prices
and that most of the essential COM
modities should continue to show re-
auctions between now and the end Of
the year. At the same time he
pointed out that retail prices are not
going down in accord with wholesale
reduction, and intimated that the
consumer himself might correct this
by bringing proper pressure to bear.
To aid the public in dealing with
retailers who continue to eXtort war
profits, the Food Administration now
Is collecting wholesale prices of all
staples in 700 cities and soon will
begin publishing them weekly for
comparison with the retail figures.
Without further authority from
Congress, Mr.. Hoover said, the Gov
-enrment is powerless to control re-
tailors, except those doing a business
of more than 100000 year. He
did not care to discuss the question
of whether Congress would be asked
to extend his authority, saying he
wanted to give the retailers a chance
first.

ONLY MINOR CHANGES In
RULES FOR FLOOR GAMES

neither shall a player pushed by one
Of the opposing team be considered
as running with the ball"
DrIbbIInE DEFINED.
The question OF when a dribbis
starts is still a point OF difficulty
occasionally.
The dribble starts when a player,
having gained possession OF the ball
in any way, except by recovery OF his
own dribble. throws. rolls, bats or,
tounees the ball and touches It again
before 1t is touched by another
player. Therefore the dribble does
not actually begin until the ball has
left the players possession and been
touched by him again
It fs to be understood also that a
player who fumbles or judges the bail
in an attempt to gain possession Of
ii is TO be considered as having drib-
.bled, I. e, he may not legally start
dribble after having secured the
ball in the way outlined above.
