the teacher, who, today, is taking the
part of a mother to so many of
Alexandria's future citizens.
We appeal to the people and ask
them to visit the Fairgrounds and
catch the inspiration and let the
children know them. If you want to
become popular just learn to know
the children and let them know you.
Come out and see what the children
need. They need almost everything;
benches, tables, games and above all
a fountain where they may get a
drink of water on hot day.
The grounds are open from 9 in
the morning till II and then again in
the afternoon from to 1880, and Miss
Moore is always glad to see the par
ents and friends Of her charges.
We are now conducting a sewing
class every Monday morning under
the tutorship of Mrs. Grace Bernard,

to note that the children %ill work

Rash to The Alleys Is
Under Way.

bowling will soon come intS its
own. While the l0-pin artists have
been whaling away At the pins tor
several weeks. the real rush to the
alley starts with the close Of foot
ball and the coming Of cool
weather.
Do you bowl? II not you are
failing to take advantage Of q great
winter pastime.
Like all other sports, proficiency
in bowling is largely a matter Of
form. II you play golf you know
there is certain right and wrong
way to make the various shots.
That goes for bowling. There is
a proper way to approach the foul
line, correct manner of holding
the ball and letting it go.
In golf one hears much Of the fol-
low through, the proper stance, the
correct manner Of holding the club
and swinging At the ball.
Form Means . Lot.
In bowling. II you are 10 make
any progress, you must first grip
the ball in the correct way. You
must approach the foul line so thIt
when the ball is started down the
alley, your position is. such that the
ball will carry on q direct line for
the, object at which, you are aiming.

In golf the beginner is always
thinking Of getting distance to his
drives, In bowling the novice feels
that he must get much speed on the
ball in order to knock over a floch
of pins. -
There is much more to bowlins
than the mere throwing Of the bali

ON the bowling alleys.
In bowling, like baseball, control

~ York My, Dec. 12.-With
tns Of the skrly games Of the
1otnall soaboi In hand it be-
20 look - though the changes
~ n the basketball rules are
doing - much for the game as
fkht have been hoped. Games to
~ have not moved any more
Siftly than IN the past, and the
1hnher Of fouls per game have not
1pcreased. Indeed, it would seem
= though the very change in the
&nlos designed to decrease fouling
- had precisely an opposite eff
feet.
AZ the season goes on and i'm
lportant fves Of the country come
into contact We shall have more
light on this matter. But just now
the early Indications are set forth.
Admittedly the basketball rules
committee had difficult problem
to handle. They were moved by q
demand from players, coaches. Of
fleials and fans that opportunities
for shooting fouls be reduced, with
out. however, giving players license
to commit attractions against tie
rules. In other words, the task
was to revise the system Of penAl-
ties 30 that delays due to frequent
foul shooting would be avoided
while 1T the same time penalties
would be sufficiently severe to en-.
able ,o(dcfals to keep games undei
control.
After long consideration two
sfules were agreed upon. In the
fifsk penalty zones were establish.
ed. / They are marked by q line a,
each end Of the court, running from
the side lines and passing through
the Tree throw line. Thus. an area
II feet deep known as the goa
soma. now exists. Any personalfou
committed by the defending team
upon . member of an attacking
side when the defender is in his
goal zone il now penalixed by
awarding the offended side :wt
free throws at the basket from the
free line. II the defending side
commits the foul, the rules remain
10 always. one free shot at the
basket Outside these goal zones
personal fouls are penalixed Just
- formerly, viz: one free throw.
II was hoped that the new rule
would do away with the practices
frequently employed by various
teams taking . chance Of fouling
the attacking side when the ball
was In dangerous proximity to the
basket. Through personal fouls
thus committed It was intended to
avoid the impending score Of two
poihts-to be made BY throwing q
field goal-and accept the one point
to - ade-possibly by the throw
from the foul box. 1t would seem
that 20 far ~ the deliberate COM
miaei6n Of fouls Is concerned the
rule-makers legislated wisely.
But there 70 . big haW In this
rule. Of which some smart players
have already begun to take advan-
tase. To be specific. when players

oped the scheme Of dribbling the
ball In such q manner ~ to come
into contact with . defending
guard. accidentally" ON purpose.

points when the offepss has been
checkmated.
