ond half by kicking off from the
center Of the field is all wrong be
cause it is unfair" he says. amy
rule that lacks fairness is all wet.
For years ] have argued for a
change in the method of starting
play in the second half. ] contend
it should be resumed at the point
where the ball was when the first
half ended
"In other words, resumption of
play between the second and third
period should be in the same man
ner as between the first and second
and third and fourth.
'To illustrate my point. We will
say that with perhaps seven min
utes to play one of the teams car
ries the ball IS yards down tho field
without once losing it. With the ball
one yard from the coveted goal the
first half ends.
Simply because that march down
the field was made in the second
period it is wasted, because the rules
state the ball shall be put in play
from kickoff to start the third period.
1t isn't fair"
There appears to be considerable
logic tn the argument Of the former
Big Ten star on this feature of foo, :
ball rules.
FAVOR CHANGE
! note where President John Heyd-
Ter Of the National League favors a
return to the old system Of calling
games because of rain.
Originally if the umpire suspended
play because of rain, and at the end
OF 80 minutes it was still raining
| the game should be called off
This was Il good rule because il
| definitely covered the situation am
| offered no alternative in the matter
| Big business caused the rule to be
| changed.
AS is often the case, the rain vii
shortly cease after the former Sc,
limit Of 30 minutes. If the suspen
sion came before Il legal game ha.
been played it means the return o,
the money to the spectators. If i
happened to be a big day, with say :
gate Of $4,000, it was quite a jol
TO the club owners.
The rule was changed making i
optional with the umpire. If he be
lieved there was Il chance of com
plotting the game he could delay Il
long as he saw fit.
Last season game was resume
at Pittsburg after play had beel
suspended for an hour and hall
That game created SO much talk tina
there is a demand for a return to tn
old rule.

GIFT SAFETY

When the football rules commit
tee gets together this winter the
gift safety is going to be thoroughly
discussed. The play has been over
done.
| have no particular thought aa to
how it can be remedied. but no doubt
some handling Of the situation will
be worked out to curb the deliberate
making Of a safety in order to ward
off the possibility of a touchdown.
The rules makers didn't have the
gift safety in mind when they
framed the rules covering the play
Now that new angle has been
placed on the safety some remedy
must be sought.
The gift safety isn't in keeping
with the hest ethics of real sports
manship. 1t savors more of the pro-
fessional code than the collegiate.
However. il may prove as trouble
some a point to the foot ball stratc-
gists as the intentional pass has to
the baseball experts.
4 SUGGESTION
While on the question of rules
want to repeat Il suggestion that was
made to me the other day by !:
former Big Ten star.
The suggestion deals with change
in the system of starting play at the
, beginning of the second half.

TAX ISSUE RISES
IN OLD DOMINION
Low Rate of Assessment
Cause of Much Complaint
of Inequalities.
,nscial nisnatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, February Is
People OF the State are beginning to
pay some attention to the system Of
expressions regarding inequalities.
but now there is a general demand
for reforms.
1t is almost impossible to make the
general public believe that beef cattle
in the great Southwest are valued at
about SO a head and in other sections
81. Household belongings are rated
low. and one county makes a report
that all it's diamonds and silverware
are worth under $50. Less than so
per cent of livestock was returned
for taxation. Taking the entire list
of taxable subjects and the same
ratio of valuation appears from one
end of the State to another. The off,
GERS charged with the duty of making
the assessments are required to in
spect the property assessed, but il
this is done in 8 per cent of the in
stances OF assessment it is far more
than the public suspects.
Many Pauper Counties.
The result is that the property OF
the State-real, personal and mixed
is not assessed at more than % per
cent of the value. 1t is this vaiua-
tion which accounts for so many
"pauper countless" where the coun-
ties receive more from the State than
they actually pay in. In these same
counties there are more pensioners
than in the counties which make a
fairly reasonable return for assess
ment,
Months ago, following the declara-
tion of Senator Byrd for the guber-
material nomination, he rendered his
resignation as chairman OF the State
Democratic committee. There will
have to be a meeting of the COM
mittee TO make a selection. James NJ.
Hayes, the secretary. will call meet
ing. but he will first ascertain what
date will best suit the majority of
the members, and will then convene
them to attend to business.
With the decision OF the State Cor
poration Commission to take juris-
diction of matters which have here
tofore been for local control-that Of
street car operation and the fixing
of rates-and the upholding of that
action by the Supreme Court of Ap-
peals. there is looming a general dis
cussion of the authority of the COM
mission for taking Jurisdiction. That
the localities have been divested of
rights to manage and control affairs
of this character within their con-
fines, and likewise the counties, does
not meet with the approval OF the mem
oers OF the governing bodies Of the cities
What can be done in the premises is
hard to conceive. The members of the
next House can be interrogated by
the voters OF the State, but even IL
all OF them favor vesting the locali-
ties with a right to manage their, own
affairs there is little reason to be-
lieve that a change could be made
next Winter. The same Senate that
voted last Winter to give the author
ity to the commission, which IL has
assumed, will be in for another term.
The Senate several times passed the
measure, but the House as often re-
fused.

a century ago the Frisian Islands
were a paradise for bird life. Nau-

described them as having the ap-
pearance of fake of foam floating
on the sea because of the great num-
ber of news, terms, dredgers and
other birds. But in the meantime
the islands have become bathing re-
sorts and throughout the Summer are
alive with pleasure seekers, who
have turned them into noisy amuse-
