Each bowler should make up his
mind once for all what type of ball
is best for him to use and then use
no other. Personally / use a black

such a ball better than a mottled

Berlin. its new note to the
Allies on reparations, Germany
offers guarantees amounting to
one and one.half billion gold
marks annually.
This was the, outstanding point OF
the new German memorandum Just
delivered to the allies.
The contents Of the memorandum
include the following:
The German Government takes the
stand that in its last note. It offered
the largest reparation sum that It Is
able to fill. in good conscience. as the
sum was fixed after a thorough-going
estimate by experts.
Furthermore. Germany in its last
note. suggested that commission OF
unprejudiced experts give its opinion
on Germany's capacity to pay. The
German Government repeats this sug
gestion. and declares it is ready to
submit all the necessary material to
such a commission.
The Government. in its last note,
suggested an International loan as
the basis of reparations payments, but
as the Allies seem to regard such a
loan as impracticable, Germany Is now
willing TO assure payment Of repara-
tions in fixed snnuities: the amount
Of these annuities, If desired. to be
established by an international com
mission of experts.
In so far as guarantees are con
cerned. Germany offers. first. that its
railroads be encumbered with gold

marks. bearing per cent. interest and
yielding 5O0,0O0.oO0 gold marks an

bered with a gold mortgage OF ten
billion gold marks, at 5 per cent,
yielding also 5Oo.000,O00 gold marks
annually.
This mortgage on German private
property will be fixed by legislative act

The court held that such legisia-

wrote a dissenting opinion in which
Justice Sutherland concurred.
The principal decision was in the
case of Robert T. Meyer VS. the State

Meyer was tried and convicted in

1920. while an Instructor in a pa

passed the eighth grade.
The prosecution was based on an
act of the Nebraska Legislature pro-
hibiting the teaching of any language
but English in private. denomine-
tional, parochial or public schools.
The conviction was affirmed by the
Nebraska Supreme Court, and was
brought to the United States Su-
preme Court by Meyer on a writ of
