New York, Nov. 16-Frank Taber- ski, the professional champion at pocket billiards, and J. Howard Shoe maker, the national amateur cham pion met at the University Club last night in a game for the United War Work campaign, and the professional won handsomely by 150 to 95.

THREE JOCKIES
 HURT AT BOWIE

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 16 - Three jockies, Arthur Collins, Quentin Preece and A. Johnson, had a narrow escape yesterday when their horse fell in the first race at the Bowie track. Although they fell in the midst of a struggling field of IS horses, the track physician thinks that no i'll results will follow the mishaps.
 Collins was cut in the face and hurt internally. Preece had his collar bone broken and Johnson escaped with a few painful bruises and cuts. collins and Preece were taken to a hospital in Washington. Johnson re- stunned riding later in the day after hN had been patched up. Collins seems to be the most seriously hurt, the doc tor being hopeful that his injuries may be no worse than the first exam nation showed.
 This is the fourth accident that has happened to Preece. He has had both legs broken and an arm fractur- ed in the two years he has been rid- ing.

NEED MORE SHIPS
 FOR TRADE USE
Industries Board Will Su- pervise Peace Read
 justments.

Washington, Nov. 15.---Only a linn tied amount of the shipping that can be constructed in the United States next year will be available for ordi- nary commerce, Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board said here yester- day on his departure for New York, where he Will sail Saturday for Flu rope.
 "The continued need for building American owned tonnage is obvious" !" said MT. Hurley. Not only. must we continue to supply our armies over seas and prepare to bring them home at the earliest moment compatible with safety, but Europe. must be fed and supplied with the necessary ma- terials to permit the reconstruction of devastated areas in order that both our friends and our enemies may be- come self supporting and the burden of feeding the world taken from our shoulders.
 There are not enough ships in the world to carry on this work and to provide immediately for ordinary commerce. For that reason, only a limited portion of the shipping which can be constructed by US in 1919 will be available for use in the ordinary commercial channels.
 For two months the Shipping Board has been making 8 complete resurvey of it's construction program and con- tracts. Believing that the emergency war pressure, which necessitated the speediest construction possible, would soon end, the investigation has been with a view to 8 rephnning of the ships to be constructed from this date forward. It is planned that from now on ships will be built with special ret erence to suitability for special ser- vice and with particular reference to the economical cost of operation, in- clud1ng the motive power, cargo space and speed"

Bully for Bill.

There was a city lady visiting some relatives in the country and as she was walking down the lane she saw some calves. Thinking to display her knowledge, she remarked: "Oh what pretty little cowlets." Bill, the farm boy, came up about that time, heard her remarks, and said: "Excuse me, miss, but them's bullets.

Preserving Frescoes.

A novel method of preserving fres- coes, recently discovered by a Japan ese, consists in coating them with thin glass, which is made to adhere through the agency of specially pre- pared chemicals. The new method is said to make the frescoes proof against the injurious action of the atmosphere.

the same tax rate.
AssaIIs Reform Candidate
Representative Ware said the so
called reform candidate for Receiver or
Taxes" a year ago, being unqualified to
vote, made affidavit that he had been
out of town on the three registration
days, but did not go back to make the
second affidavit. realizing that to do so
might bring him nearer to places that
were undesirable-where fresh air and
sunshine would not be so easy to secure
as on the public highways

Taxes, followed Senator Ware euiogizing
the organization, criticizing all who crit

organization leaders, the "so-called re-
formers and the editors.

them to do against me year ago.

pressed they were.
