ARMY PLANS NEW !
ATHLETIC RULES
Effort Made to Stimulate
and Standardize All Sport
Competitions.

To standardize tho conduct OF ath.
letic competitions throughout the
Army. the War Department has -
sued provisional regulations for the
conduct Of athletic activities during
the fiscal year. beginning July I. with
9 view Of making them permanent II
found desirable. Corps area and de-
partment commanders have been In.
additions they deem advantageous.
In an Official memorandum on the
subject. it 10 stated that while the
policy is to have the Army self-coE-
tanned in athletics, it is desired TO
encourage the participation OF indi.
vidual members of the Army in local
meets ana competitions conducted by
civilian agencies. The general pro-
gram Of competitive athletics In the
Army contemplates annual corps area
and departmental games: biennial
rennial competitions, embracing all
posts and stations.
Medals for Winners.
Medals and other suitable prizes will
be awarded the successful competi-
tors. Special regulations are made
for base ball. basket ball, boxing and
wrestling. Boxing is to be encour-
aged. but care Is to be observed that
exercise or sport.
AS a general policy. the War De-
partment advises restrictions which
will prevent Army reservations from
being used for the evasion of local
laws governing certain classes Of
athletic contests and games. These
restrictions apply particularly to box
ing matches and to games Of base ball
or basket ball on Sunday. AS a rule,
Sunday base ball will be allowed on
all military reservations when no ad-
mission fee IL charged, and an ad-
mission fee may be charged for such
games in all cases where such prac-
tice is not in conflict with local laws.
All on Amateur Basis.
1t is prescribed that all athletic
competitions within the Army shall
be upon an amateur basis, the term
amateur being defined as a person
who engages in sport for the pleas
ure and the physical. moral and social
benefits derived therefrom. 1t Is de-
clared, however. that Army men who
engage in events for which money
prizes are offered, or who compete
within the Army with professionals,
both in line Of duty. and in accord
with Army orders, will not be classsd
as professionals.

Fan Ness Anti-Liquor
Act Faces Higher Test

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 22.-Thc cues
ton of the constitutionality of the Van
Ness state prohibition law was laid
before the Court of Errors and Ap-
peals to-day. Upon the decision OF this
court, the highest in New Jersey, de-
pends the validity of three hundred
convictions obtained by courts in vari-
Gus parts of the state for violations of
the act.
The constitutionality question is
raised in the reviews of three typical
cases that went to the Supreme Court
on appeal. Justice Minturn, sitting in
the Supreme Court, already has upheld
the law, and it is for the Court of
Errors and Appeals either to confirm
or reverse this opinion.
The three cases placed before the
Court of Errors to-day are those Of
Emanuel E. Katz against Henry H.
Eldridge, ct AL; August Carroll against
John W. Mccarthy, and the State
against Dominick.
Attacking the constitutionality Of
The act are former Attorney General
Robert l.. McCarter, William E. Brown,

Prosecutors j. Henry Harrison of Es-
sex, Pierre r. Carven of Hudson,
Charles A. Wolverton of Camden. and
Judge William A. Newcorn, Of the
State Attorney Generals Office, are
defending the act.
The denial of trial by jury under the
act is the chief point upon which the
constitutionality question is raised.

Hearst Lawyer
Hired to Fight
Transit Board
Wade Ford Named Special
Asst. Corporation Counsel
to Assist City Regime in.
Campaign OH Commission
Johnson May Step Out
New Aid Will Analyze Con-
tracts and All Other Trac-
iion Proposals Offered

William A. DC Ford, for many years
attorney for the Hearst papers, has
been appointed Special Assistant Cor
poration Counsel to direct further
fight on the part OF the city against
the Transit Commission.
1t was reported that Mr. De Ford
would succeed Senator Hiram johnson,
who acted for the city in its contest
attacking the legality of the commits
sion, which is now awaiting decision
by the Court of Appeals. Senator John
son recently argued the case at Albany,
but there had been 10 intimaton that
he would withdraw.
Another Contest Forecast
No information was available at tho
Corporation Counsel's Office regarding
Senator Johnson's future association
with the city, nor AS to what new action
the city contemplated. The appoint
ment of the Hearst attorney, however,
was interpreted to indicate that the
city would launch another contest when
the commissions sts.tutory plan is
presented. The commission has made
rapid progress toward the completion
of it's final report, having held the first
of Il series OF public hearings, in which
the city officials refused to cooperate.
In q letter to the commission yester-
day Corporation Counsel O'Brien an
nounced that he had retained Mr.. De
Ford to "make a comprehensive survey
of the plan of readj ustmen ent, 10 care
fully analyzc the contracts and other
means which it proposes TO employ for
the execution of the plan, and to ac
cumulate such information as | deem
essential to enable the city authorities
to intelligently consider it."
Action Called Safeguard
Mr.. O'Brien pointed out that while
the city still held the contention that
the statute under which the commits
sion is acting was unconstitutional and
void, he deemed it his duty to safe
guard the city's interests "in any
eventuality whatsoever"
The Corporation Counsel requested
the commission to grant to Mr.. De
Ford access to all information and data
concerning the plan in order that the
formulation of tho views of the city
authorities might be expedited.
Mr.. O'Brien quoted Section 107 of
Chapter 134 of the Laws of 1921, which
neglects to approve the commissions
plan and contracts within thirty days
after their iesubmission, the commits
sion may proceed to execute them in
the name of the city.
George McAncny, chairman of the
commi ission, had no comment to make
on the letter yesterday. He said re-
my would be sent to the Corporation
Counsel.

Judge, Brdndishing SisL Lobsters,
Gets IN Wrong Car and a Panic
Justice Young and Man He Inadvertently Traded
With Stir White Plains With Reports Of Stolen
Machines, but All Is Explained at Station

Justice J. Addison Young WAS in a
hurry yesterday when no started from
his Office in New Rochelle for the Su-
prenac Court in White Plains, whore hc
is presiding. He had to stop at q
paint store on Huguenot Street and
get some paint and at fish store and
get somo Holsters, and court opens at
10 a. M.
He rushed out of the paint store with
can Of paint and drove to the fish
store. He rushed out of the fish store
with can Of paint and several mildly
protesting Holsters and looked around
for his car. 1t was not. to be seen.
The only car in sight was wearing a
chest protector, and Justice Young
doesn't pamper his car to that extent.
1t was most irritating; police
force that was up to snuff ought to be
able to guarantee the safety of n car
for the period necessary to buy half "a
dozen Holsters, especially when it was
Supreme Court justice who was
shopping for Holsters. Justice Young
took his Holsters and his. paint into q
telephone booth and told the police all
about it.
The message caused f7nrry at New
Rochelle Police Headquarters, not only
because q Supreme Court Justices car
had been stolen while he was buying
New Rochelle Holsters, but because a
Mr.. Smith had Just reported that his

automobile had been stolen from in
front OF Il paint store on lIuguenot
street, and two cars in five minutes
broke all New Rochelle records.
Justice Young and Mr.. Smith were
invited to conc around to headquarters
with details. About tho time they ar
rived-Justicc White still clingng to
his Holsters and his paint and faint
hope OF meeting car~owning friend
who would get him to White Plains in
time to open court--patrolmen brought
in two cars found standing, one in
front of paint store on Huguenot
Street and the other in front of fish
store nearby.
'My car" calculated Justice Young
on catching sight of the automobile
found in front of the paint store.
"My carl" CALCULATED Mr.. Smith, on
catching sight Of the car found in
front of the fish store.
"My goodness!" CALCULATED the New
Rochelle Police Department on catch
ing on to the situation. "The judge
took the wrong cart"

Keeping close to the wall, Peter be-
gan TO creep around Buster Bear. At
the least little movement on the part
OF Buster he would dart back. But
each time he got little further, for
all the time he was gaining courage.
1t was growing because he kept try
ing. The more he tried the faster his
courage grew.
At last he was quite around the
foot Of Busters bed and there was
nothing between him and the en-
trance to that cave. 1t was all Peter
could do to keep from darting out,
ipperty-lipperty-lip. Yes, sir, it was
all Peter could do to keep from doing
just that thing. But he remembered
that somewhere outside was Yowler
the Bob Cat. To rush out without
first carefully looking and listening
might be to rush right into his cruel
claws. So Peter just made himself
steal slowly and carefully across that
cave to the entrance and sit just in
side where he could see out. Then
Tor. some time he sat there looking
and listening and all the time want

1t was bright daylight now and
Peter was glad of that. "Yowler

Peter Tries to Gain Courage
By Thornton w. Burgess
Courage comes to him Who tries,
For it groacs by e1ercise.
Peter Rabbit

Peter Rabbit needed courage. Yes,
stree, he needed courage. There he
was in the tiny cave that opened from
one corner of the larger cave which
was Buster Bears bedroom, and there
was Buster Bear himself right in
front of him doing his best to make
himself comfortable and slcepily
grumbling to himself.
,.. Now, as you know, Peter naturally
is timid. He is very timid. just now
he was as badly frightened as any
Rabbit in all the Great World ever
had been. In the first place he had
Just had the narrowest of narrow es~
capes from Yowler the Bob Cat Then,
Just as he had thought that his trou-
bles were nearly at an end, in had
walked great Big Buster Bear and
now he, Peter, was once more pris-
oner- One fact gave Peter a wee
bit of comfort, and this was that
Buster Bear didn't know he was
there.
So Peter crouched in his tiny cave,
which was hardly big enough for him
TO turn around in, and wished his
heart wouldn't thump SO hard. and
wondered how long it would be be-
fore Buster Bear would 20 to sleep,
and if when he did go to sleep he
would sleep soundly. And he won
dered, too, il he, Peter, would ever
be able to gain courage enough to try
to steal past Buster Bear.
Buster Bear was sleepy. He yawned
and yawned and yawned. But some
how he couldn't seem to go to sleep.
Sometimes he would doze off, but Just
as Peter would feel sure that at last
ne was asleep he would wake up.
hle.to himself. But at last he really
vas asleep. Peter knew this by the
sound of his breathing.
Peter poked his head out OF his
hiding place and held his breath as
he listened to Buster Bears breath
ing. Buster twitched paw and
Peter lodged back so suddenly that
he bumped his head hard against the
top of the entrance. 1t was a long
time before he dared peek out again.
But by and by he gained courage
enough to poke his head out again.
Buster seemed to be really asleep.
Peter locked over to the entrance of
the big cave. My, how far away il
seemeds That was because Buster
Bear was between it aud Peter.
Little by little Peter crept out Of
his hiding place, all the time trying
to hold his breath. Buster moved and
Peter scrambled back. Twice more
he tried it and was frightened back.
But the third time nc was bolder.
liis courage was growing. This time
when Buster twitchcd paw in his
