CHARLES EBBETS.
Making changes in the baseball rules
is Il popular pastime with the owners
and magnates through most winter
seasons and the present one is not an
exception. Percy Haughton, the Boston
Nationals owner. is coming forward
with a number of ideas and Charles
Ebbets of Brooklyn and John B. Fos-
ter, secretary of the Giants. are both
making suggestions, some of which
seem to be worth consideration and
some not.
1t is true that Percy Haughton
speaks rather from the fans point of
view. having had no great experience
in the games management. For this
reason it is probable that Haughton's
ideas will not be found SO valuable as
those of Foster and Ebbets, both of
whom have served in the business end
of the game and have studied it for
years.

YARN ABOUT SALT FAMINE WASONLY
 A GERMAN STORY

Washington, Nov. 22 Evidence that German prppagandists are spreading reports that there is a famine of salt, laundry blue. and matches is in the possession of the Food Administration.
 In each case, 1t is said, the Ger man agents have started buying drives'' in an effort to intercept the ordinary channels of business, spread alarm among the consumers, and cause discontent with the govern ment program In some cases house. holds have stored up sufficient quan- titles of the commodities for a years use.
 The Food Administration an nounces that there is no actual short age in either salt. matches, or laundry blue; that the national stock is as large as ever, with no possibility of shortage with a normal demand on the part of the consumer, and that runors of any such shortage can be attributed only to German agents
 The drive on salt in the present in- stance seems to have begun in New York city something over a week ago, and spread as far as Boston and Wash ington, where many storekeepers ab- solutely sold out of the commodity in a couple of days. Reports have reached Washington of. similar con- dit1onS as far west as Ohio.
 Housekeepers purchased as high as 25 bags of salt and there is one in stance of man who bought enough to last his family a lifetime. Imme- diately following the excessive pur- chasses of salt came the case of laundry blue, based on Q report that this article, since 1t contained Prus- sian blue, soon would be unobtaina- ble. People seemed to have the false impression that Prussian blue must come from Germany. The third wave of big buying has been cen- tired on matches, and it's origin has been traced to Jersey City.
 The fact that the buying drives have come in successive waves points to organized effort, and it is the be- lief of the Food Administration that false rumors concerning other com modides may be expected. It, there- fore, warns the housewife to disre- gard any such reports and not to overstock, since such procedure works actual harm and may cause real shortages for a time in particu- lar localities.

OFFERED
FOR BOND BILL

Now that the board Of supervisors
has decided that the water and sewer
bond election lest, interest is center
ing around the bill now before the
senate which gives the governing bod
les of the various counties the power
to issue bonds without first going be-
fore the PEOPLE in plebiscite.
Just what chance this bill has OF
passing is difficult to say but to aid
1t on its course a NUMBER OF amend
.ments are being suggested, one to
allow the county boards to issue bonds
only for an emergency and another to
hold bond election at the primaries
In the first case as the extension
and enlargement of the water and sew
er system is very necessary the issu-
ance of bonds for those purposes
would come under the head of emer-
gency. = -EE...r II.
1t is believed that If the same items
for water and sewer are placed before
the people AT the primary election
May d they would carry. The last
bond election only lost by a very mar
row margin and as the expense would
be slight this idea is being given con-
,sfderation
The question of changing the pres
ent law, which makes it necessary to
obtain so per cent of the total voters
voting to pass a bond issue, to ma
jority vote is also being taken up.

MAKEKAU Is FOR
ROAD VOLCANO

Senator R. II. Makekau of Hawaii
put himself on record this morning as
fayoring Representative Lyman
100000 Volcano road bill Lyman pro-
poses to raise this amount by taxing
incomes. =. d.
Makekau argues that inasmuch as
the Volcano draws many persons 20
these islands the bill should be con-
sidered as fayorIng not only the Big
Island but Oahu, Kauai and Maui as
we'll. -......
The volcano of Kilauea is an as
set to the whole territory" he says.
People who arrive in Hilo and are
rolled swiftly up Mauna Loa's slope
to see this scenic wonder, travelling
over smooth, safe road, will decide
at once to see famous places Of the
other islands-Haleakala on Hawaii
and Waimea canyon on Kauai. 1t is
always understood that Oahu is the
central stopping place"
Makekau points out that this terri
tory mas two chief Reconnaissance
and tourists. The former is already
recognized and the latter just COM
ing to its own. Passage of Represen-
tative Lyman's bill, he believes, will
show that the territory is beginning
TO awake to the importance of the
tourist trade. The. bill is still in the
lower house. .--. a..
