! promotion has been put into use in
| the schools which, in. connection
with the course of study, enables
teachers to have their pupils do the
work which they are qualified to do.
Great advancement has been made
in the high school facilities of the
county during the last few years. In
1914 there were only two first grade
high schools in the county-one in
Malta and one in McConnelsville.
These were small high schools-the
enrolment in Malta being As and in
McConnelsville 90. These two
schools are now united, and the en-
rollment in the one high school this
year is 230 pupils, almost double
the enrolment in the two schools in
1914. Besides this school we now
have first grade high schools at
Reinersville, Cloud, Stockport,
Pennsville and Chesterhill. Mount
vile and Ringgold each have second
grade high schools and Deavertown
has third grade high school. High
school work is also being offered at
Unlonville, Hackney, Centervile, and
Westland. High school work, there
fore, is being offered at thirteen
places IN the county, while in 1914
lt was offered only at Malta, McCon-
nelsvllle, Stockport, Pennsville. and
Chesterhill. Thus the schools are
being brought nearer to the chill
dren, and educational opportunities
are Delng made as nearly equal for
all the children of the county as pos
sible. And this is what the present
school system stands for-equalitv
OF educational opportunity. In 1914
the total enrolment in the high
schools of the county was Pa. Last
year 1T was 507. Reports of enroll
ment have not yet been received FOR
this year, but the high school en-
roliment is probably little greater
than last year.
Now, fellow voters of Morgan
county, do you wish our nnhools to
race about? Do you wish all the
new hlgh schools to be discontin-
ued 10 you wish to do away with
the Uniform text book arrangement
ana the uniform course of studyq
DO you wish our schools to he set
back thirty years, or even ten vearsp
DO you wish to put the schools or
Morgan county into the hands of

VINO are opposed to the school law.
or any other law, qualified to ad-
minister it? 1t would be lust as
consistent to appoint brewers and
dlstillers to enforce the prohibition
Ia" as TO elect men who are hostile
to the school laws to administer
them. Let those men who are op-
posed to the school laws seek cleo
tion to the legislature if they think
| they have some chance of getting
the laws changed, but for the sake
of the schools of Morgan county let
| US not elect them to the county
board of education.
Ii you wish the schools to be
progressive, if you do not wish an
attempt to be made to set the
schools back to the conditions of
thirty years ago, if you believe the
school law would be administered
better by its friends than by it's en-
emies, vote for Mr.. Hiram Hart and
DR.. Lee Humphrey for members of
the county board of education.

SL0CUM RETURNS TO
u. S. WITH DETAILS
OF NEW TENNIS CODE
Set of International Rules
VIII Be Acted on Feb
rumy 3.

New York, Jan. 5.-Thc code Of lawn
tennis rules framed by the international
rules commission in London on Deem
her 20, meeting attended by rcprCsen-
tatiycs of fourteen nations will be sub
mittcd for adoption by the United
States Lawn Tennis Association at its
annual session here February .. Copies
of the new code, brought back by Henry
W. Slocum. American representative
at the London gathering, were made
public today.
While most Of the rules in the code
conform or are in many eases identical
with those now recognized in this coun-
try, several depart to some extent from
American regulations. These refer to
the weight and size of the bail, the 1901
fault rule and regulations governing the
rest or intermisSiOn period between sets
in prolonged matches. !
The London conference was marked
by a splendid spirit of cooperation and
craftsmanship, according to MIR. So
cum, who held the national champion
ship in 1888 and 1889 and is former
president of the United States Assocla-
ton.
The United States Lawn Tennis As
ISOLATION will be the first to consider
and possibly adopt the new code. Inc
other nations which will act upon 1t
include Great Britain, France, Aus
tralia, South Africa, New Zealand, Bel
gium. Holland, Italy, Switzerland, Can
ada, Argentina, Japan and Denmark.
Comparison of the differences be-
tween the American and new interna-
tional rules gathering the weight and
size of the balls shows that the inter-
national standard fixes IL inches as
the minimum diameter whereas the
American minimum is 1916 inches.
The maximum diaeter, . 1915 inches
is the same for both codes, as is the
minimum weight of two ounces and
maximum weight of ZIG ounces. The
minimum bound, under certain fixed
condition, is 40 inches under the Amerl-
can rule. and 80 inches in the interna-
tional code. but the maximum bound, OO
inches, is alike.
Changes in the foot fault rule as com
pared with the American rule are con-
fined TO phraseolOgy, both requiring
the server to stand with both feet at
rest behind the base line before COM
mCncing to serve and to keep both feet
behind the base line and at least one
foot on the ground until the racquet
strikes the ball.
Regarding rest, periods. both codes
agree in allowing an intermissiOn OF not
more than ten minutes after the third
set, or where women take part, after
the second set, but provisions for de-
laws due to accidents or unavoidable
circumstances differ. The information
al code would leave TO the discretion
of the umpire the time of suspension of
NAV while the American rules provides
for a cessation of play not to exceed
two minutes. Both codes, however,
stress the fact that this provisio should
he strictly construed and that play
should not be suspended for the put-
pose of allowing player to recover MS
strength or his wind.

BY BILLY EVANS.

Home-run hitting is no longer an ex-
traordinary feat of batting. 1t has be-
come n habit and a rather common one
at that.
That is why Clarke Griffith, owner
of the Washington team of the Ameri-
can League, has come out with a sugges-
ton that will make the hitting of home
runs much more difficult.
Griffith's suggestion is that the legal
distance for home-run drive be
changed from 235 feet to 800. In ali
probability the rules committee will give
much consideration TO the hOme-run
feature of the game when it goes into
session.
Fourteen years ago Ty Cobb led the
American league in hOme-runS with
nine. In the American League the
eight teams piled up a total of 100
hOme-runs for the season.
Red" Murray of New York was the
National League leader in 1909 with
seven home-runs, while Isl were made
by the eight teams comprising the cir
cult.
HOme-Run Becomes a Habit.
Contrast those figures with the home
run totals in the two major leagues last
season and you quickly get the big idea
for Griffith's suggestion that the home
run is becoming much too common.
In the National League last season
$50 homers were made, while the Ameri-
can League was close up with J24, a
total of 1854 circuit drives in the two
major leagues.
Rogers Hornsby led the National
League with AZ hOmers last year and
Ken Williams the American with 80.
In 1921 Babe Ruth smashed all home
{. run records for all time with 80, beat
ing his mark Of the previous year when
he made 81. In 1920 Ruth, with 30
home-runs, beat the record of % by
Ed. Williamson made in 1884
Cork Center Debut in 1910.
Both major leagues used the rubber
<eenter ball in 1909 The following sea.
son the cork center ball was intro
duced aud batting was materially in
creased.
During the years of the World War,
the batting slUmped due to the poor
material used in maising the ball. The
leather used to cover the ball was poor.
and the yarn much inferior TO other
years.
In 1920 freak pitching. was ruled out.
The same year the so-called lively ball
was introduced. During the past three
years. as a result of the lively ball and
an absence of freak pitching. the bat.
tiers have been on a hitting spree.
In 1921 the New York Yanks made
1874 home-runs, moro than the entire
American League did in 1909.
All of which goes to show that the
home-run has become a common habit
rather than an extraordinary feat Of
batting.

CIGARETTE IS
 REPLACING CIGAR,
 MAKERS ARE TOLD
Report Shows Decrease of I,683,3Io,876 in Past
 Two Years.

Chicago. Aug. 25.-The day is com ing when we will be a nearly alto- gether truthful nation. The first and most oveworleed lies that will dis appear are these:
 Thanks, I'll smoke it later"
 You bet-it's peach of a cigar"
 "A friend of mine in Cuba sends them to me-
 Three for a half, eh? I want to get me box"
 Merry Christmas to you, too, dear; they're my favorite brand"
 No, no, no. don't mind 1t a bit if you smoke in the parlor."
 The reason for the great reform is that cigars are vecoming fewer and fewer. They promise at their present rate to be extinct in time Snappy statistics on the. matter were given out by the Cigar Makers Internation- al Union of America, in convention in Chicago this week
 The union said that in 1920 there were 8,3o4,6I8,767 cigars produced and in 1922, 6,62I, ,2o8, 8,886. That means that in two years there was a decline of I,683,3Io,876 cigars. Cigarettes, on the other hand, seem to be growing in popularity. In 1902 there were only 2,65I. .6I8,7o5 of them made. Last year the number was 5o,- o68. .2o3,I32.
 Even though the cigar makers are all honest men, 1t is difficult to be- lieve them when they say there were six billion cigars smoked last year. Some folks smoked wet feathers. Others passed around all wool imper- fectos. Quite few inhaled the fumes of burning raincoats. But they all said they were cigars. But that's up to the stock the manufacturers gave the workers to roll.

Lynn, Aug. 25.-Nearly HOO lasters remained away from shoe plants throughout the city this week in ac- cordance with a vote taken at mass meeting not to return to work until wage increases ranging from 20 to 25 per cent. have been granted.
 The walkout applies 10 all plants except 10 independent firms which have granted an. increase and where about I25 lasters have gone back to work. The walkout is without sane ton of the Amalgamated Shoe Work CTS general officials, and the joint council will hold sepcial. session to decide what action to take.
