Change in Fair or Foul Rule.

A change in the rules governing
balls hit out of the playing fields will
go into effect tomorrow, 1t was an
nounced at American League head
quarters. The rule is covered by par
|agraph 4s Of the rule book and at
present provides that a ball shall be
judged fair or foul, according to
where it passes over the boundary
line Of the actual playing field"
The new wording will be the same
as in 1919, which says that when a
"batted ball passes outside the
ground or into the stands the umpire
shall Judge it fair or foul according
Ito where it disappears from the UNI
pire's view"
The latter Interpretation Of the
new rule would have robbed Babe
Ruth Of at least two home runs this
lyear, baseball officials said, because
There are two instances on record
where he hit balls into the stands
which landed in foul territory but
were called fair because they passed
over the fence fair and curved into
foul grounds.

COUNTY ROAD PLAN FINDERS SECURING IF FEDERAL MONEY

Congress is made up of representa- lives from forty seven staes. A cer- tain number of these states wherein population and wealth have accumu- lated pay a substantial part of the Federal taxes. It is true that these taxes are frequently paid on wealth which does not exist in the states in which the taxpayer resides. Hence tho state does not always deserve the credit for such wealth. but the fact still remains that the owner lives and votes In the state through which the tax fil- tors into tho national treasury.

Unf0rtu- nately the law does not compel the states to function as states and in con- sequence ono of two things was done With tho federal money in some of the states: it was matched by money from The rich counties or it was distributed piecemeal among all the counties.

PHOENIX MAN WRITES IF BIG CONVENTION AT ID OKl ], JAP \ N

The following Is an interesting letter from James Huges, assistant pastor or i the First Methodist church, written from Tokio, Japan, where he has been | attending the Worlds Sunday School convention.
 Mrs. E. J. Rogers and Mrs K. :. Townsend are also Phoenix delegates to this convention.
 Rev. E. D. Raley,
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear MT. Raley:
 Knowing the interest you have in this convention and the trio represent ing Arizona, am taking the liberty of writing you some of our experiences so far.
 We reached San Francisco Septem- Der ? and proceeded to go through the necessary procedure before leaving for foreign country.
 We had to get sailing permit from custom officials and get our passports vised by the Japanese and Chinese consuls. Both of these men were very courteous and accommodating.
 September 1. we were allowed to go aboard our ship Siberia Maru." This was to be our home for r days. At l o'clock we were on our way. A great crowd was at the pier and they cheered and waved until we were out of sight. Our cabins were small but comfortable We made up our minds that we were to encounter far more peculiar things than that before we got back. | Our passenger list showed S3 dele gates to the worlds convention. Among these names were many noted men of North America. Marion Lawrance was on our steamer.
 The first day out was rough but we soon got our sea legs" and by night were ready to enjoy a good sleep. l was awakened next morning by the men scrubbing the decks and they seemed to be forever scrubbing decks The food was fine but it was hardly fair to tempt us with so many good things until we got our appetites.
 I was very soon notified that I was on the committee to plan for a pro- gram of entertainment while on board Meetings were planned for each morn ing which proved very interesting a' there were several missionaries aboard returning to their fields. They gave us some splendid talks.
 We practiced singing the Japaness national anthem and several othel notable anthems which are to be sune at the convention by a choir of thou sand voices.
 September 10 we sighted Diamond Head which is part of the mainland O Hawaii. It looked cold and dismal 1T the distance but as we approached thu beautiful colorings gave different ef feet. As we approached the dock
 dozens of boys were swimming alonl
 side the boat crying to us to throv

 watch them dive and bring up tn
 coins.

 Sunday, September F, we held di- vine services in the dining room. Bishop Root of the Episcopal church in China, was the speaker.

 We had great view from the top of the 5000 feet high cliff, Nui Ann Pali We went through the country club grounds and to the hotel Haleiwa where We had luncheon with our first taste of pappi fruit. We passed the Schofield barracks where they have ac- commodations for II. 900 soldiers We visited the aquarium and Wa Xii Xii beach. At 5 o'clock We caught our boat and was soon steaming out to sea,

'rit- ing. and 'rithmetic. Now they go to modern centralized schools and they don't walk-they ride.
 Each morning. just before the first bell rings. a bus stops in front of the children's homes. picks them up. and takes them to the school house door. Each afternoon. when classes are out, the bus takes them back to their homes again.
 The buses serve a double purpose. They not only save the children from making the long tiring walks but they permit the substitution of one cen tralized school, as good as any school in the towns or cities. for several of

 September 21 we sighted Japan in the distance. We can just see the mountain Fugyi, which is the most wonderful in Japan. It is not often that it can be seen so far out. We were fortunate. It is a beautiful sight as we pass into the Bay of Yokohama. The roll is called and we get off the boat to be met by very large dele gation from the Sunday schools of Japan.
 Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Townsend are well and have enjoyed the trip. Sincerely yours,

 Many communities have successfully used the buses during school hours for transportation purposes, taking farm products to shipping centers and bri lging back materials needed on the farm. In this way the buses give a full days service and practically elim- mate the cost of carrying the school children.
 township school trustees are now mak- ing plans for establishing a motor bus system before the present school year is ended.

Kent Is prosaic, astheHcally speaking,

clusion that his metaphysical broodinps

Mr.. Clifford Beal, who has an cxhibi-
ton Of recent paintings at tho Kraus-

mode Of tackling paint and canvas. He
has neither the suavity of Mr.. Crane
nor the hardness Of Mr.. Kent, but a
vivid spirit Of attack which lends an
engaging vitality to what he does. He
has the defect Of his quality. Painters
who have kind of reverence for color
