ON
DRY ISSUE TALKED
BY DEMOCRATS
Proponents of Idea Would
Have Congress Provide
for Vote.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-A ma
tional referendum to test out the SEN
timent OF the country on prohibition
Is being discussed in national Demo
cratic circles. II the suggestion
meets with sufficient favor, it may be
brought forward rs a platform plank
at the national convention next year.
Such a national referendum could
be provided for through an act or
Congress, proponents of the idea de-
clare, though they anticipate an eff
fort Of extreme drys to raise constItu-
tional objections. Friends OF the ref
erendum plan regard It as Offering
the best way out of a bitter fight be
tween the wet and dry factions with
in the Democratic party.
Dry Democrats are already setting
about actively to prevent their party
from shouldering the wet end OF the
liquor issue in next years campaign.
This activity is the result Of warnings
voiced by william J. Bryan during 4
recent visit here when he conferred
with a number Of Democratic Sena-
tors.

LEGISLATORS OFF
TO PREPARE FOR
IMPORTANT WEEK
Bonusp Movie Censorship and
Boxing to Come
Up.

Once again the members Of the
Legislature were at home for the
weekend today, feeling out the senti-
ment Of their constituents and looking
forward to a busy week ahead.
Next week probably will see more
activity than any previous period Of
the session.
Among the measures which will
come up for discussion before the end
Of the week are:
The soldier bonus.
Tho bill establishing a State con-
stabulary.
The establishment Of a boxing com
mission.
Motion picture censorship.
The prevention Of sporting events
on Memorial day.
The making Of counties units in
school administration.
The bonus bin is ready for second
reading in the House of Represent
atives. It passed through a stormy
session Of the House, sitting as a com
ralttee of the whole, and is expected
to be attacked again on second read
ing. It's friends admit 1t was consider
ably weakened by amendments.
The measure establishing a State
police has been recommitted to a com
raittee in the Senate and win be re-
ported out with a majority and a mi
nority report. These reports undoubt-
edlv will cause a division in the Sen
ate.
One Of the hardest fights in the As
sembly probably will result from the
bin establishing a boxing commission,
now in committee in the House. A
public hearing has been held and
strong sentiment on both sides Of tho
question has been revealed. The meas
ure was defeated two years ago.
The bill for motion picture censor
ship, or. as it friends prefer, motion
picture regulation, is expected TO
cause about as much OF a fight as the
boxing bill The bin is now in the
public morals committee OF the Senate.
OF tho administration bills bills thus
far under consideration, the county
unit bin IS causing the greatest stir.
Next week also win see the intro
duction Of the appropriation bills, II

DAD Of AERIAL
FOOTBALL
Passing Of Oval Developed by
I. Students on Grid
Floor.

Marked development OF aerial
passing in football during the past
few seasons may be traced back
to basketball. It wasn't until the
past half dozen years that the
prep school and high school foot
ball players took up basketball in
the off season. The handling of
the ball the tossing Of the ball and
the ability to catch it on the rum
has become feature Of high school
football.
High school football this season
has established new. standard of
play. The games have been wide
open. and the forward pass has
figured in, all the intersectional
school games. The public appeal
OF many OF the games has been
astonishing. At one game in
Brooklyn there was a crowd of
%, 900.
In all the big cities of the East
and West the high schools, are
turning out slkiIlful players who
will establish their regulations on
college gridirons. With thein bas-
ketba1l and football training, they
are ready to jump right into the
spirit OF open play and are far
better schooled in the fundamentals
OF football than the schoolboys Of
the past.
