The definitely scheduled events be-
tween the Army and Navy Schools at
present are the basketball game on
February Is, to be played at West
Point, and the baseball game on the
last Saturday in May to be played at
Annapolis. The Naval Academy has
won both Of the basketball games
played between the two, but is far be-
hind in the baseball series. 1t also lost
last year. though it won the two
games previous to that. Incidentally.
the Navy has won seven Of the eight
contests in all branches of sport play
ed since athletics at these schools was
put back on the original basis at the
end of the war.
One more game of football is as
sured under the present agreement
between the Army and Navy. and 1t
will almost certainly be played in New
York. 1t will be the Army's turn to
choose, and 1t has always preferred
the metropolis. Another agreement Is
most likely, as both institutions ap-
pear to wish to continue athletic re-
lations, and find in them the greatest
incentive to athletic effort on the part
of their students. Two years from
now, 1t is likely that a greatly en-
larged Franklin Field will be available
at Philadelphia, and It is quite likely
that games in alternate years will be
p'-yed there.
They Are Gratified.
Navy people are naturally highly
gratified at the recent successes Of
their teams, particularly the victory
on Saturday, making a string of three
triumphs, equally the best showing the
Navy ever made in this way. Not for
a moment, however, do Navy people
believe that they have definitely and
permanently placed themselves in d
position Of athletic superiority to their
service rivals.
On the contrary, they admit certain
elements Of superior opportunity for
the Army, and have no doubt that
within q reasonable time the soldiers
will be getting their share of the
victories. OF course, the Navy in
tends to delay that time as much as
it can.
While II is true that the Navy has
won three victories in succession. IL
is pointed out that the scores have
been so small that no overwhelming
superiority was demonstrated. In
1919, the Navy won by two field
goals, yielding six points, and in 1920
and 1927 by a touchdown and goal,
making seven points. 1t must be ad-
mitted, however. that the Navy had
a decisive advantage in each of these
games, but games won by such small
scores indicate that very small thing
might hang the result.
The Naval Academy now recognizes
that 1t will have a big task to win

Easily Held Up

Residents of Salem used to tell
gleefully about one of their fellow
citizens who was returning late one
night in a snowstorm along the old
Salem turnpike when he was sudden
ly confronted by a burIy figure that
appeared TO extend one arm vigor-
ously. as if TO demand, Your money
or your life" Mindful of the proyerb
concerning the better part of valor.
continues Mr.. Frederic J. Wood, who
tells the incident in 1.-THE Turnpikes
of New England" the traveller hastily
tossed his watch and purse to the
dimly seen figure and retreated. The
next morning, with reinforcements.
he returned to the scene of his dis
comfiture, only to experience bitter
modification when his valuable
property was found in the horse
trough at the foot of the old fashioned
pump, which still held it's ground
with handle horizontal.

Precious Stones of Australia

Almost every known gem is mined
in Australia reports Mr.. William A.
Dunlap, clerk at the American Con-
sulate at Sydney, but New South
Wales leads all other states in the
variety and value of precious stones
produced. The black opal is said to
be Australia's most beautiful gem,
and it is claimed that Lightning
Ridge, New South Wales. is the only
part of the world known to produce
it. The black opal has increased in
value 800 per cent. in the last two
years, the best quality bringing from
&c to GS q carat. The stone ranges
in size from to 100 carats. Other
stones of commercial Importance
found in Australia are the pearl, sap
phire. diamond, emerald, ruby. topaz
and the turquoise. OF less value, but
of great beauty and brilliance, are
the peridot, zircon, tourmaline and
the aquamarine, which are found in
New South Wales.

Conferees Progress
on Emergency Tariff
Senate Form Favored

Washington, Feb. 21-Attempt of
the House and Senate conferees to
iron out difficulties in the Fordney
Emergency tariff today were success
ful with respect to four amendments,
but three others, all Of which were
added by the Senate. were passed
over until another meeting tomor-
row.
The conference session ended,
however, with its members widely
separated on the question Of duties
on wheat, olives and sugar and also
as to the length Of long staple cot
ton which should be protected.
The mandments agreed to by the
House conferees included tariff of
80 cents a bushel on flaxseed: ex-
emption of rice to be used in the
manufacture of canned goods. A
tariff Of two cents a pound on lem
ons, two cents q pound on fresh and
frozen meats, and exemption from
tariff of imported livestock which is
to be used for breeding purposes.
Democratic members of the House
committee declared after the con-
ference that they expected to see few
changes made in the bill as 1t passed
the Senate. Although Republican
members of the conference declined
to discuss what had gone on behind
the closed doors, their Democratic
colleagues freely stated that the
House Republicans apparently were
willing to take the broader Senate
bill and had expressed the hope that
by accepting the Senate amendments
the bill could be sent earlier to the
President. Their intention, it was
said, was to have time to attempt
to override Presidential veto il
such were necessary.

STATE OF MAINE go
OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
Augusta, Maine.
February 16, 1921.
TO THE HONORABLE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES, OF THE
EIGHTIETH LEGISLATURES;
/ have the honor to acknowledge re-
| ceipt of a copy of the order passed b,
your Honorable body on Wednesday,
February 9Th, 1891, requesting the At
| torney General to advise your Hon
| orable body in writing whether Arti.
| Gle Nv. Section 2, of the Constitution
Of Maine. providing that the House Of
Representatives shall consist of one
hundred f1fty-one members, has been
amended, and also to advise your Hon
orable body as to the number of rem
resentatives now allowed under the
Constitution OF Maine.
In compliance with your request.
respectfully advise you that in my
opinion Section Of Article w of the
Constitution of Maine has not been so
| amended as to permit an increase of
its membership at the present time to
| a greater number than one hundred
ffty-one and that the number of rem
resentatives now allowed under the
Constitution of this State is fixed ar
one hundred f1fty-one.
This conclusion is based upon the
following historical statement and
general principles of constitutions,
and statutory Interpretation.
The original Constitution, in Article
Nv, Part 1, Section 2, made, proyisi ion
for an initial membership of not less
than one hundred nor more than one
hundred fifty, with the additional pro-
vision in Section 3, that under certain
conditions of increase in population
this number might be increased to two
hundred. In 1871, by an amendment
to Section 2, duly submitted and
adopted, the number OF representatives
was definitely established at one hun
dred fifty-one, the provision for an
increased membership being elininat-
ed. This amendment will be found in
Chapter 1S1 of the Resolves Of 1871.
and has ever since that time been a
part Of our organic law. In 1917.
there was submitted to the voters of
the State and accepted by them, an
amendment to Section of Part / of
Article Nv of the Constitution, which
amendment appears i'm Chapter 1I6 of
the Resolves of 1917. The sole pur.
pose and effect of tlas amendment, in
my judgment, was to add to the then
existing provision that no town should
ever be entitled to more than seven
representatives, the exception that in
the event Of the merger of towns or
cities. the new town or city should be
allowed the combined representation
Of the former units. The resolution
submitting the proposed amendment,
however, concluded by purporting to
recite the amended section as it would
read by the insertion of the proposed
