It should always be remembered
that blocking which involves bodily
contact with the opponent is not
legitimate and results in a foul be-
ing called. Scientific blocking calls
for. the placing of your body be-
tween your opponent and the point
at which the man he is guarding is
to receive the pass. 1t is mental
rather than physical blocking. It
is not necessary to rush a man in
blocking Take your position and
let your opponent run into you, as
this accomplishes the same result.
Avoid facing the man you are at
tempting to block, If possible, but
rather take your position at the
point at which the block is to be
executed and give the impression
that you expect to receive Q pass.
This often results in taking two men
out of the opposing defense, as one
will invariably follow you, and il
your block is successful you will
take the man you are attempting to
block out OF the play.

BAKERY CLOSES

The Askov Bakery closed yes
terday and is, at least not for the
present, doing any more baking.
The proprietor, Conrad Chris
Jensen, is employed in a Chippe-
wa Falls, (Wis) bakery and no
word has been received from
him as to whether or not he in
tends to reopen the place later
on. Ed Gudmundsen who has
managed the place since Mr..
Christensen left about 10 days
ago, says he is not familiar with
Mr.. Christensen's future plans.
Askov apparently is a good To-
cation for a well managed bakery
and it is hoped that the place
will soon be re-opened. They
had built up considerable trade
in neighboring towns but it is
probable that the expense Of de-
livery was too great. presumably
on account Of the volume not be-
ing large enough.

Washington Letter
National Editorial Association.
BY WILLIAM l.. DALEY
Especial to Askev American)

Washington. Jan. %. struggle
for parliamentary advantage
through coalitions continues to
retard vital legislative measures
in the Congress. 1t is obvious
that the Republicans will find it
difficult to write the recommen-
dations of President Coolidge
into the statute because the pres
ent revolt against majority rule
has a tendency to bring about
disintegration of the party.
There is new majority in the
House-an alliance of Democrats
and Republican insurgents
which apparently has the power
to enforce its bipartisan de-
mands. They have displayed
their strength in changing the
rules of the House in order to ex-
ercise control over important
legislation. 1t is predicted in
many quarters that nothing but
political chaos will come of this
strategy. With the bipartisan
majority in a position to amend
the tax bill by the inclusion Of a
bonus proposal and President
Coolidge opposed to alterations
in the Mellon plan and the
bonus tax reduction is nothing
but a pleasant dream at the pres
ent time.
The bipartisan leaders believe
that much good could be accomp-
lished by liberalization of House
rules whereby 100 or $50 mem
bers could demand the discharge
of a committee from consider
alton of a particular bill. Mr..
Madden of Illinois, one of the
m os t influential Republican
leaders, declares that this pro-
cedure would cost taxpayers a
billion a year and it would be
nothing more than a play into
the hands of professional lobby
lists.
The advocates contend, how
ever, that it will prevent the
practice of "pigeon-holing' i'm
portant legislative proposals.
Conservative leaders express the
opinion that those now favoring
changes will be as quick to spon-
sor repeal in event insurgents or
other minorities become major
tiles at other sessions. The
claim is advanced that referen-
dums on proposed bills will not
prove practical. 1t is a note
worthy fact that a formidable
percentage of Democrats refused
to join the bipartisan move
ment. With the campaign year at
hand these Legislators are think
ing of the future of their party.
Meanwhile, the calliope of dis
sension keeps everybody jump
ing.

From the West comes reports
that Senator Hiram Johnson will
withdraw from the race for the
Republican nomination. T e
fact that party leaders are not
cordial in states where primaries
are held is said to have discour-
aged the California candidate.
While there is much propaganda
circulated on all sides, it is gen.
orally admitted that the nominal
ton is a "cut and dried" PROPOSE
ton for Mr.. Coolidge. A man in
side the White House looking out
is generally more popular among
politicians of his party than a
man on the outside seeking en-
trance. Several surprises may be
in store as the convention will
not be held for five months.
