AGAINST TAXES
Pennsylvania State Associa.
tions Want Legislature
to Repeal Bill
BREEDING PROBLEMS
By ROBERT r. PAIL.

That the bill which causes the county
fairs OF this State to be taxed is not in
favor with the fair associations was
demonstrated 10 the satisfaction of all
at the meeting of the Pennsylvania
State Association Of County Fairs held
yesterday at the Hotel Hanover.
The delegates were unanimous in the
belief that the county fairs shouldn't
be classed as an amusement, but as an
educational demonstration. As an
amusement they are taxed This levy
virtually wipes out the $1,000 aupropri-
alton made by the State
committee or tnree-Presdent Hal
White, Of Indiana Secretary J. +. Sell

take this matter up with the State Leg
islature. TIE following resolution also
was passed: The state should make
a greater appropriate on and should ex-
cmpt tie fair grounds of taxation.
Interesting Figures
Walter Moore. of the Horse Review.
brought some interesting figures con-
cerning the breeding Of race horses to
the attention of the delegates This is
one Of the greatest problems the county
ldlTS Fuu III ld'l every racing aSSOcla-
ten must solve in future years.
There has been a decided falling
off said Moore, "of racing horses
This decrease is best shown by the num-
Dor of horses that take records of bet
ter than $50. The fewer that are bred,
the less number that will do better than
2:30."
In 1909 there were 2473 who bet
tered 2:30 There was a decided ia Hing
OF each year following, and in 1915
there were but 2076 In 1916 there were
1884: 1917, only 1853, and in 1918 the
number had decreased TO 1928. This
was a falling off of "a per cent from
1917 to 1918.

GERMANTOWN FRIENDS SCHOOL

scholastic athletics of this city. Six
years ago this institution was heard of
put little in athletics. and then 1t was
usually in the line of defeat.
Today the status of the suburban
school is on a par with virtually all OF
the private institutions of the city and
section. In soccer It has proved its SUI
periority two years straight over the
other members of the 1nteracademio
League
This development Is due mainly to
the athletic policy employed by A, A.
smith, who has personal supervision of
all sports. Mr. Smith believes in ath-
letics for all. Every student enrolled in
the school, unless physically unfit, is
urged TO take part in athletics.
II student is inclined TO be a bit
backward about going in for sports a
strong personal appeal is made and in
most cases the boy quickly sees the ad-
Nantages offered and reports for prac-

How well Mr.. Smith has succeeded in
getting the students to participate in
sports Is shown best by figures. There
are about l75 boys enrolled in the
school, OF this number 1870 take a
regular and active part in the school
sports. The others report at irregular
times throughout the year.
Mr.. Smith takes full charge of the

all afternoon. The students are divided
INTO classes according to their ages.
Those from nine to twelve are coached

team, was the leading scorer. tallying
eight times. Walter Miller. Fritz and
Bob Truitt also were star players.
Captain Dick Bullock always played a
fine game at fullback.
"Our athletes" said Mr.. Smith,
must be made right here at German
town. We can't follow the example OF
other schools. that of dropping player
because he doesn't show enough skill at
the start and substitute another, because
We haven't the suitable number of men.
I'VE must take the boys when they
report and develop them to- force a
team. our boys run from nine to seven
teen years of age, and we take care OF
the smaller ones as well as those who
play on the varsity teams

RED CROSS NOTES

The ladies who attended the Red
Cross meeting Tuesday afternoon had
the pleasure of listening to very in
teresting talk by the Rev. Mr.. Fit,
who has just returned from overseas.
Mr.. Fit was working with the "Y's"
who accompanied the boys in the
army of occupation to the American
sector with headquarters at Coblenz.
His talk was an intensely interesting
account of the way in which the Y.
NJ. G. A. helps to break the monotony
of their routine life by furnishing not
only entertainment in the form of coIi-
certs, theatricals and music, sports
and games, but classes for instruction
in any line the boys wish to learn.
He stower how cosmop 'litan the
American army is by telling of enter
tainments given by really fine pro-
fessional actors taken entirely from
the ranks, also musicians and athle-
tics in the various sports. These can
be assigned to the duty of entertain
ing by authority of the officers the
same as any military drill, and are re-
quired to render the same prompt
obedience. The teachers are also col
lege men found among the officers
and men of the army.

receive their wage scale and other
matters affecting their working CON
ditions, and transmit them through
the operating board to this depart
ment with their recommendations,
and this department is prepared to
act promptly.
However, for some reason they
have refused to submit their matters
and have gone on strike without any
cause existing therefor. The strike
can be settled promptly if the en-
ployes will carry out their instruc-
tons and submit their wage scale in
the manner suggested at the time
their representatives called at the
department, which seemed to be per-
fectly satisfactory to them.
"It is my desire to deal with them
with absolute fairness and business.
The operating officials have been di-
rected to take every step possible to
restore the service"
