realistic scenes were enacted by the
sixth and seventh grades in highly
creditable way. An appropriate selec-

Allen. "Hurrah for Georgia Land"
was sung with the spirit and under

Lawyer Says Marion
Has No Works Board
special to The Times.

MARION, Ind. Aug 1s.-The city OF
Marion is without board OF public
works, according to City Attorney Mar
shall Williams.
During the administration OF Msyor
Elkanah HUXLEY, the city engineer, city
health officer and city street commits
sioner, have served as a board Of public
works and a board OF public safety with
out additional salary.
When the 1920 census was announced
Marion advanced from a fourth-class to
a third-class city.
Under the form Of government pre-
scrihed for third-class cities, the engi-
neer, health officer and street commits
sioner have no legal authority to sit
as a board Of public works, the city
attorney says.
1t has been explained to the city coun-
Gil that an ordinance must be passed
creating a board of public works under
one of three methods prescribed by the
state law.
AS yet no action has been taken.

REVIEWS FIGHT
OVER HIGHWAYS
Lawyers Say Power Taken
From Road Commission.

Renewal of the controversy between the
state highway commission and the state
tax board is expected as result of an
opinion given to the Hoosier Motor club
by the legal firm of Matson, Kane &
Ross, declaring that the johnson home
rule law takes away from the tax board
the control over the tax levy of the high
way commission.
The act establishing the highway COM
mission fixed the levy at 10 cents on
each 500 of taxable property in the
state, but when the new tax law became
effective and the property valuation in
the state was increased by millions of
dollars, it is maintained, the legislature
did not intend for the highway commits
sion to receive the income a ten-cent levy
would produce on the new valuation.
The tax board accordingly fixed the
levy for the commission last year at SO
cents.
1t was not believed at the time of the
passage of the Johnson bill that it would
go further than to return control over
bond issues to local taxing units, and
curtail the power of the tax board over
the highway commission.

The custom Of hanging up our
stockings ut Christmas goes back to
q legend OF the fourth century.
Those were the days Of the arch.
bishop Of Myra whom we know a.
81 Nicholas. the patron OF children.
II Ia said that he Inherited great
wealth and gave lavishly.
One day St. Nicholas learned that
a certain nobleman was In great
poverty and In desperate straits be-
cause he had no marriage portion
for his three daughters. That night
the saint went to the nobleman's
house hoping 4 way would open for
him to help secretly. Suddenly the
moon came out from behind cloud
and showed him an open window
to q room In which the nobleman
and his daughters were sitting. He
threw his purse thru the window
and fed. The second night he came
again and threw purse for tho
second daughter into the window.
The third night the nobleman hid
himself and when St Nicholas
came near the window he grasped
his robe and cried. 20 Nicholas!
servant of Cod why seek to hide
thyself" Then the saint made the
nobieman promise that he would
tell no one of his generous gift.
From this incident in the life OF
st. Nicholas the practice has grown
of older people secretly giving little
gifts to their young. relatives and
friends. Usually there are sweets
or bon bons hidden in the shoe, or
stocking where they must be discov-
cd the first thing in the morning.
In The old converts the school
girls used to hang their stocking,
on the door of the abbess with a.
note asking her to recommend them
to the Great St. Nicholas of her
chamber In the course of time
the custom of hanging up stockings
has been transferred from the eve
OF St. Nicholas birth. the sixth Of
December, to the eve OF Christmas.

ABOUT UMPIRES.

Dear Sir-I noticed in yesterdays
papers where two or our players were
put out of the game and fined Thurs
day by one of President Martins So
called umpires. Is 1t any wonder that
the players, as well as the manager Of
our team. lost part OF their pep? From
the reports, His Highness was wrong
and this one and one or two others OF
the Southern league staff seem to
have the habit OF putting a fine on
our players when they call their atten-
ton to a wrong decision.
It is a surprise that President Mar
tin does not replace at least two of
his staff of umpres as he Ia doing the
game great injustice by keeping them
and forging the fans 10 watch them
work. I realize that every time a
player kicks on decision, that the
Umpire is not wrong. but have watched
the work OF the umpIreS this year and
they are at least two of the present
staff who have no place in the South
ern league, except IN the grand stand.
II President Martin can not replace
them, it would he much better to let
two of his good men work alone than
to have the games handled as they are
now.
II he insists on forcing these so-called
umpires on the fans and players the
club presidents would be justified in
refusing them admittanCe to the parks
II is no wonder they have received
bottle showers and the only surprise
is that it has not gone farther and
they have been injured. For their
good as well as the good of the game
they should be let out at once and let
them seek employment for which they
are better fitted. Yours truly,
H, j. RICHARDS.
