CONDITION" OF POLICEMEN.

The announcement that Chairman
 David Dunn Of the board of police commissioners will call meeting 10 act upon proposal to furnish of the regular police department as are able, by reason of age and
 physical condition, to take such training, raises a serious question. The physical training referred to would consist of marching drills and training in boxing and wrestling.
 The suggested training, it is to be noted, would be only of those able, by reason of age and physical condi- tion, to take such training. The ques- tion arises at once are there any members of the regular force unable by reason of age or physical condi- tion to take such training? If there are such members what good are they on the force, unless they are filling some desk position? And if there are members of the force at present unable to take such training would f not be good idea to get them in condition where they could take such training? Certainly there are posi- tions on the force where older and more experienced men are needed. The force has such men and un- doubtedly care is taken to see that their years and experience are made use of 1t is not suggested that any members of the present efficient force should be dispensed with But it would seem that if the physical con- dition of members of the force whose duties demand physical activity is such as to prevent their taking the mild training suggested it is time that physical condition were bettered.

VALUES LOVE AT 6 CENTS
Jersey Jury Finds For Husband in
 Alienation Suit.

Atlantic City, N. J., Uct. 19.-A jury returned verdict of cents to. lay for Franz T. NoellSer, baker and former member of the Atlantic City Tax board in his suit against Fred G Nixon Nirdlinger, Philadelphia amusement man, for s150,000 dam ages for the alleged alienation of the affections of Mrs. Noelker. The de- fense offered no testimony.
 A letter written by Voelker four days before he filed suit for divorce to Nirdlinger, who was named as one of the correspondents, was read The defense contended that it showed Noelker to be on the most friendly terms with the defendant.
 An effort was made through the testimony of Miss Lydia Palmer, sis ter of Mrs. Noelker, to prove Nird- finger the father of a child born to Mrs. Nolker last year.

running some pedestrian down to hls or her death.
 This Is true because people insist upon walking along a country road with their backs to any automobile that might be coming along the road toward them. The pedestrian cannot see the light of the car because the car is coming up from behind him or her, It may be that another car IS coming from the other direction. There is no danger that this second ear will run down the pedestrian be- cause it is on the other side of the road and the pedestrian sees Its lights But as that other car approaches the driver of the car coming up behind the pedestrian is compelled by cour- tesy and care to dim his lights, This leaves the road directly in front of the driver in darkness. The driver cannot see a pedestrian on that side of the road. Trayeling along care fully, anxious to give the other car plenty of room, the driver keeps well to the right-and is apt 10 run down the pedestrian on that side of the road who has his back to the car with the dimmed lights.
 If all pedestrians on country roads at night would walk on the left side of the road-their left--they would be directly facing any on-coming car and could not fail to see the head lights. They would at least be apt to step aside if they saw the driver did not see them. They would be able to save their lives and be able to save the motorist from killing them.
 Do not deliberately kill yourself. If you walk on country road at night walk on your left hand side.

TWINS WERE DOLLS,
 WITNESSES DECLARE
Husband Will Take stand Today tt Try and Show That They
 Were Real

Hammond, Ind, Oct. 19.-Ap- parently enjoying humorous aspects of the proceedings as much as the spectators who crowded the court room Mrs. Hazel McNally on trial charged with infanticide, waited to- day for the prosecution to present its star witness her husband and ac- cuser who says the twins she disposed of last spring were actual babies ana not dolls as she claims
 Eleven witnesses testified yesterday ten that the twins were dolls and one that they lived and breathed. Mrs. Me Nally listened with seeming levity ano ,nconcern to their testimony as te now she carefully guarded the twins from the prying eyes of curious rela' tives and neighbors. She frequently joined in the laughter which the testimony brought from the crowded court room.
 The defense indicated its intention to put Mrs. McNally on the stand tc repeat her versionIa story of con spiracy between herself and her hus' band to work maternity hoax SC McNally's ambition to be known again as a father might be appeased.
 According to Mrs. McNally, ar operation two years prior to her mar riage rendered her incapable Of ma ternity.
 All witnesses yesterday said Mrs McNally kept the faces of the twins covered constantly claiming their eyes were weak,
 On witness. Mrs. Mary Griffiths, 8 nurse who was with Mrs. McNalls during nine days after the alleged birth testified she was not permitted to care for the twins but that once she saw the face of one which she de- clared had a nosebleed.s

DON'T GET KILLED

People keep on trying to get killed, apparently. Motorists as a rule do not want to kill people. If a person drives a car at night on a country road he is in constant danger of kill ing someone. And it makes no diff ference how careful that driver is. There is no way by which he can avoid the danger of committing homicide. In fact the more careful and considerate he is. in many cases, the greater the danger he is in of

SPELLACY'S POINTS.

The independent voter is inclined to feel, after reading the Shelton speech of Thomas J. Spellacy, Demo- cratic candidate for seat in the United States Senate, that the latter has raised points which the voter would like to hear Senator Mclean, Republican candidate for reelection, discuss. The intrcacies of the tariff schedule are fruitful of perplexing questions, but the reason for the delay in its enactment, if it is true.
New Britain herald., 1922-10-19


 as claimed by the Republicans, that in it lies salvation for the country economically, is a comparatively sim pie matter to trace
 Mir. Spcllacy's insistenoe that taxes have not been reduced despite the claims Of the Republicans that the expenses Of the government have been lowered appreciably, calls for some reply from the other side. In these two matters of prime importance He suggestions that would seem 10 make most proper the Democratic pro- posa, for public argument of the political issues. The fact Is recog- nized that the Democratic candidate for the Governorship, being lawyer, is possibly better fitted to hold up his end of an argument to be deliN- cred in public that would be Lieu tenant Governor Templcton Mir Spellacy, a lawyer also, might have the advantage over Senator Mclean who is not noted for his eloquence in public. But the importance of the matters to be discussed is so great that it is believed the audiences would not be deceived by superficial argu- ments and ease of manner of speak ing. The time for debate would seem to be here, and those who have the sound arguments would win over those who depended upon eloquencc. For this reason. and because the people want to know" it would seem the idea of public argument of these questions is a good one.
 For the first time. to many people, comes the distressing news of the tremendous increase in the importa- ton from Canada into this country of wood alcohol The disposition of much of that deadly liquid is obvious. It finds its way into beverages sold IS whiskey. When such importation has increased from 920 gallons in 1919 to 1eS,022 gallons in 1921, a situation cited by MT. Spellacy, there is reason to consider what 1t all means, and there is ground to see some reason for the advocating of notification of the Volstead act. The man who asserts that a more liberal interpretation of the 18th amend ment than the interpretation given to 1t by that act would not tend to stop of bootleg" liquor does not know the effect cutting off of liquor completely from man addicted to it produces. Many men who formerly drank comparatively beer have turned to moon. shine because it is easier to procure, being less bulky just as many former llquor addicts have turned to drugs IS giving a greater kick. Mr. Spelacy's statement that Canada is paying off her war debt with the revenua derived from liquor snug. 5led into the United States, and his assertion that Canada gets the rev enue while we get the liquor are worthy of thought.
 All through the arguments on this question there should remain the thought that no man before the pub ic, or no political party or reputable organization advocates a violation o. 1 he law of the land embodied in tho statutes or in the constitution. Tho question is what laws should we 1ave-and that is the only question.

CLEAR Up RULES
on Sh|F I PLAYS
IN FOOTBALL, PLAN
When Committee Meets in
March New interpretations
May Be Given Code.
By WALTER CAMP

Copyright. 1929. 81 The Great Fails Tribune
New York, Feb. 21.-The meeting Of
the football rules committee in March
is expected to clear up definitely the
rules governing shift plays and their
| Interpretation, about which there has
been go much in the past. Clean cut
and helpful suggestions have been form
| ulated for the assistance of the COM
mittee as result Of conferences in
various sections of coaches and Off
cials.
1t has been pretty generally admit
ted that football last year saw much
more cleanly cut decisions by officials
on shift plays and in calling those which
were illegal. The coaches and off
cials in this section, as q result OF
their meeting, have agreed to recon-
following be incorporated in the rules:
"1n all shift plays an interval of time
shall be allowed to elapse sufficient to
permit the officials to see first, wheth-
er the play is legal, and second, to de-
termine whether the. ball was snapped
while the men were in motion"
Approved in Principle
The rules committee approved the
principle outlined in the above last
fall at the Interpretation meeting. In
discussing the phrases, imam in mo-
tion," and "both feet stationary on
the ground now in the rules, the COM
mittee held they should be interpreted
as follows:
"In all shift plays both, feet station
airy on the ground shall be interpreted
to mean that a sufficient momentary
pause occur as to admit of the Off
cials seeing that the play is legal and
that the ball was not snapped while
the men were in motion.
Reports from all sections show that
clipping or cutting a man dowf, from
behind has practically been checked
and coaches have ceased to teach any
thing of the kind
The committee will be asked to care
for another situation which has come
up in connection with clipping. It has
been found that when clipping was pen
allied there was quite difference in
its effect upon the offensive and the
defensive side.
Penalty an Advantage
The rule penalized the offensive
side Is yards from the spot where
the ball was put into play But in
the case of ball kicked down the field
and caught and run back By the de-
fensive side without scrimmage. the
penalty for clipping by player of the
side running back the kick was really
an advantage. Enforcement of the
penalty from the spot where the ball
was put in play usually advanced the
ball much further than the runner could
probably have advanced in any event.
The only way to take care Of this in
the rules will be to change the spot
from which penalty is to be inflicted
The kick for goal after touchdown
came in for its usual decision at the
conference of coaches and officials A
suggestion by Major Charles DAILY of
West Point was finally adopted by the
meeting here and will be recommended
to the rules committee.
Major Days Plan
Major Dalys plan is to have the
teams line up on. say, the 15-yard
line after a touchdown. The side max
ing the touchdown would be given the

JOE STECHER LOSES
T0WLADEK zbYSZKO
IN NEW YORK BOUT
Crowd, Displeased With Deci-
sions, Surge About Ring Till
Police Scatter Them.

New York, Feb. 21.-Wladek Zbysz-
ko. younger brother of the worlds
champion heavyweight wrestler, Tues.
day night defeated Joe Stecher, OF
Dodge, Neb., former champion, in a
finish match at Madison Square Gar
den. '.
A large crowd of spectators dis
pleased with the result, surged metaac-
inely about the ring They were dis
persed by the police after several
minutes of excitement.
Hbe first fall went to Zbyszko, when
Stecher, after taking him to the mat
with flying deadlock, fell underneath.
In attempting to escape from half
Nelson and body hold he rolled on his
shoulders. Up to moment before the
fall was awarded him, Zbyszko had
been on the defensive. The scissors
expert several times attempted to apply
his famous hold, but the Pole managed
to escape.
Stecher took the second fall with an
arm and leg hold after Il minutes Of
wrestling. The referee warned Hbyszko
aFairist the use of rough tactics.
With one fall to the credit Of each,
the rivals went to the mat for the
third fall with the spectators keyed up
to high pitch when the referee. after
6 minutes, 25 seconds, interfered, an
nouncing that Zbsyzko had won a roll
ing fall, the crowd shouted demands
that the referee be overruled.
In the preliminaries, Ed Stranger"
Lewis, former heavyweight champion,
defeated Clifford Lynckley, of Colum-
bus, Ohio, with two rolling falls. He
won the first in minutes, 80 seconds
and the second in % minutes, 30
seconds.
Dick Daviscourt and John Olin
wrestled to 43-minute draw.

CROWD SEES SPEED
SHOW BY FIGHTERS
IN !. NJ. c. A. GYM
Principals in Fridays Bouts
Prepare for Last Heavy
Workouts Today.
Before the largest crowd that ha

Before the largest crowd that has
yet turned out to watch the training
bouts Of the principals who will next
Friday night battle for. the middle
weight championship of Montana, Pete
Eddie Shepherd, holder of the Utah
championship, each went through 15
rounds Of work in the Y M. G., A. gym
nasium Tuesday afternoon. The bal
cony was jammed to capacity with fans
who came out to get q line on the
fighters in advance of their meeting
for the title.
Bross weighed in before he donned
the gloves at 156 pounds and Shepherd
was five pounds heavier, but it is an
nounced that the men will enter the
ring with but very little difference in
their poundage. Bross expects to put
on a. pound or two and Shepherd will
reduce to below the 100 mark. The
articles call for 100 pounds on the aft
crnoon of the fight.
Bross Shows Speed
Never in his fighting career in Great
Falls has Bross made SO favorable an
impression as he did in his training
bouts Tuesday afternoon. Opposed to
his brother, Matt Bross; Steve Col
Inns, Cy LaDue and one of the light
heavyweights who is working out at
the gym, Bross showed just how much
speed he acquired in eastern arenas,
without impairing his punching ability.
Shepherd, too, added to his prestige
in his workout with Kid Leo and Tex
Foster. The Utah champion is round
ing out his training at a pace that
leaves no doubt of the ability that gave
him the crown in his home state.
Flashing speed, ring generalship and
punching ability are conspicuous de-
tails of his stock in trade. Like Bross,
he is on edge for the fight Friday
night.
Extra accomods tions will be provid-
ed today "wednesday for the spec
tators at the gymnasium The holiday
will give many an opportunity to see
the workouts who would otherwise
wait until Friday night to size up the
fighters, and the fact that it will be
the last day of heavy training adds
interest to the bouts. Thursday after
noon the fighters will go through light
training stunts. but today will see the
last of the heavy work Bross and
Shepherd had both virtually completed
training when they arrived in Great
Falls.
Interest in the fight does not exact
ly all center in the main event. Miners
by the score from Stockett, Sand
Coulee and Tracy are backing Big Bill
Lanko, who meets Lard" Cherpeski
in the semi-final, and the railroad men
are rallying to the support of Cherpeski
After a manner of speaking, this will
be the battle of the century. Out at
Steckett they use Big Bill for mine
prop when no timber is handy and the
friends of the railroader aver that they
send for Lard" when there is de-
railment. He just h'ists the cars back
on the track without the bother of
derrick.
Sale of seats for Friday nights fight
will open today "wednesday at noon.

nounced Tuesday that no seating will
