Why is "get rid of the BALI
good basketball advice? II
DR.. FORREST ALLEN
BASKETBALL
Answered by

Answered by
Director Of athletics, University Of
Kansas. His team won the cham
piorship in it's section last year and
has bsen undefeated for ~ straight
games.
Getting rid of the ball is good
basketball because basketball is a
teamwork game. When a player in
possession of the ball passes to an
unguarded player he changes the po-
sition of the ball, thereby rendering
the opponents defense more vulner-
able to attack. Many game has
been lost because a player held a ball
second too long. An entire team
must be kept mentally alert for per-
feet participation in the game.
By the use of the short pass game,
much of the trouble of holding the
ball can be eliminated. and the light
ming rapidity of the passing from one
man to another, which is so delight
full to watch, contributes to the be-
wilderment of the opponents.

CAPITAL Increases Waves

Men can work without appreciate
amounts of capital, but the returns
will be pitifully small; it is only
when capital unites with labor that
output is greatly enlarged, costs are
reduced, and wages are increased.
Capitalism is the main cause of ris-
ing wages. Those who accumulate
capital receive a payment for it's ef-
fectiveness when combined with la
Dor; both are necessary to the result.
1t Is not true, as one agitator says,
that under capitalism, men live,
without working, on the labor of
others" Labor by itself without
capital could not begin to supply he
consumption of today. The sacrifice
and Withholding from useless expen-
diture by which capital is created
and maintained is as necessary a
force to aid production as manual
labor itself. Only when capital is
employed with labor could each re-
ceive the rewards of today. Labor
alone does not, and never has, pro-
duced that by which capital is paid.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Housewives
throughout the United States bought
bread at retail stores during October
at prices which averaged fffty-five
percent above the price level of 1913,
according to data collected by the
U. S. Department Of Labor.
In the same month, the wholesale
price of flour was reported by the
Labor department. as twenty-five
percent above 1918.
Retail prices of bread thus would
appear to be out of line. Emphasis

$50, ,OOO Finishing MN Adds 10 SyZacauga Marble Industry

to give the city the slogan, The Marble City"
 The Moretti-Ha ~ah company does not finish its product, b~- ships in the crude. The Alabama Marble com pany has finishing mill and em- ploys some of the most skilled mar ble workers in this country. Their products are shipped to all parts of the world, and the interior of some of the largest and most beautiful buildings of this country are finished in marble from this plant. The new post office and the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank of Birming- ham and the Federal Reserve bank of Atlanta are among some of their latest productions.
 Prospects Bright
 In addition to these companies, Syl- acauga has a large monumental works. operated by c. F. Falconi, native of Italy who states that he finds the marble of this place su- perior in many ways to that of his native country.
 There seems to be no limit to the marble possibilities of this section, and in addition to the already estab- lished types, black marble has been found but as yet it has not been developed. The general marble out look is good, and is now only enter ing it's beginning as a big feature in this section.

ALEXANDER CITY, Ala. Jan G. Special )-Senator- elect Roy L. Nolen from the. Tenth senatorial dis trict, composed of Tallapoosa and El- more counties, announces that he will go to the senate which convenes January 9, with no pet isms or hobbies to champion, but that he will go for the full purpose of fighting to strengthen, preserve and enforce such laws as have met the approval of the people.
 MT. Nolen believes that health, ed ucation and agriculture are the thing that will protect the health this time and he is in favor of any thing that will protest the healt. and better the condition of the farm- CTS and the school interests of Ala bama. He believes that Alabama needs better education system and thinks that the work of upbuilding a better system of education should start with the common schools and go upward.
 He also believes that good roads are indispensable and does not think the state will ever reach the high standard that she should until she has better roads throughout the state. With good roads, better coun- try schools and the health of the people protected he thinks that there is nothing to keep Alabama from making rapid strides upward.

SYLACAUGA, Ala, Jan. 6.-(Spe- cial, ,)-Another boost was given to the Sylacauga marble industry this week with the announcement that the Madras Marble company had let a contract for a new $50,000 finish ing mill. It will be fully equipped with machinery to deliver finished marble, as the comrany has hereto fore only shipped the crude marble as it was taken from the ground.
 The Madras Marble company's quarry has only been in operation a little more than three years. The company has strong financial back ing and the new plant will add quite a pay roll to the Sylacauga district.
 A few months ago an officer of the company, in speaking before the Syl- acauga Exchange club, stated that when he purchased an interest in the company he thought he was sink ing so much money in hole. On investigation he said he was aston ished at the possibilities here and the decision of the company to invest more money is one of the results.
 Two other Quarries
 Besides the Madras company, the youngest, there are two other large quarries here. The Alabama Marble company and the Moretti- -Harrah Marble company, both of which have been pioneers in The development of Sylacauga marble. and have helped

FREIGHT CARS WILL BEI
 ROUTED IF POSSIBLE
 TOWARD HOME STATION
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU |
 THE AGE-HERALD

Alabama railroads have notified their agents and patrons that in or der to protect the fertilizer and other industries incident to the next crop year, 1t will be necessary to route railroad cars in certain manner so as to return them to their home sta tions at the earliest possible mo- ment Rules intended to bring the cars pack to their home stations and to prevent car shortage dur ing the fertilizer transportation sea son were made by the American Railway association and all rail- roads nave agreed that the rules will be enforced to the letter beginning at once.
 M. c. Stokes, general agent of the Central of Georgial railroad today stated that their rules were pro mulgated after careful considera- tion of the car situation and with the belief that the cooperation of the cities will avert serious car shortage later in the year. It is probable that some transportation will be 'tendered during the next few weeks by the enforcement of the rules, but when the cars are returned tC their home stations each railroad will be able to furnish cars to meet all legitimate demands of the shipping public.
 Under the rule, cars can be made available for use in transporting goods only toward their home sta tions. For instance a car belonging to A railroad entering Montgomery may be used in transporting goods toward Montgomery and cannot be used in transporting goods from Montgomery on the line Of another railroad. When the car is received in Montg omery and unloaded 1t will be delivered to the owner.
