HIGH RIOTERS TO DON
GALA COLORS TONIGHT
FOR FAST NET CLASH

Final workout by the Richmond high
school basketball team in preparation
for their game with Shelbyville high
school on the coliseum floor Thurs
day night, gas held on the coliseum
floor Wednesday evening. From the
speed with which the locals went
through their signals and scrimmage
it seems likely that they will give
the visiting aggregation a run for
their money.
The dope is strongly in favor OF the
visitors. However. with the spirit
that has been exhibited by the locals
during the early part of the season,
they should be able to make a credit
able showing.
Carl Amick, who played forward
for the team last week. will not be
seen on the floor Thursday night
Brehm will probably take his place.
The rest Of the lineup probably will
be the same as that which triumphed
over Knightstown last Friday night.
Strong Opponents
Shelbyville is touted as having one
Of the strongest teams in their ath-
letic history. They defeated the
crack Manual Training high school
team of Indianapolis on their home
floor last week by "a to % score.
They will come here fresh from this
win to play hard game to keep their
record clean.
Coach Null is depending on Harkins
and Loehr to handle the greater part
Of the Red and White offense. Rost
and Green will do the guarding. Green
showed up as having the ability to
become the best back guard that has
taken the floor for the local school
for several years. Rost plays a good
defensive game but is little shy on
hitting the loop. This faculty is COM
ing to him fast and by the end Of the
season he should be a strong man
for the high school.
The high school band and entire
student body are planning on having
a gala occasion at the game. A pep
session was held Thursday to get
everyone in shape to pull the team
over for their second win.

Ohio School for Blind
Has Inequality Corrected

COLUMBUS O.. Dec. 23:-Examina-
tion Of accounts Of the state board of
administration by Examiner F. M.
Hooopingarner of the state bureau of
accounting, revealed that the state
school for the blind has been euchered
out of $19,599.S0 each year in the past
by the state school for the deaf
through an arrangement by which deaf
pupils did the baking for the blind
pupils, in return for the blind pupils
doing the laundry work for the mutes.
Under a contract that had been in
effect for years, the blind pupils did
the washing for the deaf pupils at a
fat rate Of s25 per week. or $1,000 per
yea. while at ten cents pound, the
prevailing price for laundry work, the
work was worth $20.899S0 a year.
Hence the examiner figures that the
school FOR the blind was done OUT of"
$l9,599.s0
This inequality now has been cor
rected and the school for the deaf
now has to pay the school for the
blind a. the rate Of 10 cents a pound
for laundry work.

HAvRE, France, Dec. 23.-Construc-

rect from the Normandy seaport to

contractors hope to have finished the
principal part of the work within six

operate it before a year.
The line is to be laid along the high
road from Havre to Paris three feet
below the surface. At Havre and Paris
there will be 10 tanks of a capacity of
IS 900 barrels each, and six tanks of
similar capacity will be stationed
along the route, at the pumping sta
tons which will also be six in number.
Trench digging machines sent to
France by the American army will be
used in laying the pipes which with
the tanks and pumps are being sent
from America.
