hang on longer than the others,
being used now and then for a
season or so.
What might be termed the Sec

Griffs includes Judge, Rice, Zach

should last the longest of the
class, if only because he is an out
fielder who takes perfect care of
himself.
The real kids with the world
champions are Bennett, Mule Shir-

a smoker. This in itself is not
so important, but when it is
explained that the club plans to
make this an annual affair on the
eve of the Georgetown track meet,
it means something.
Georgetown University is right
now in the throes of an athletic
revival. The appointment of Lou
Little as director of athletics for
the coming three years has stirred
the Blue and Gray alumni as they
have not been stirred in a long,

with committees, whenever there's
anything special being ARRANGED.
After the World Series last Octo-
Der an unusual program was pre-
pared by the people OF Coffeyviue
in connection with the annual game:
This was scheduled for Monday
October 20. My wife and mother
had motored from Washington,
driving the car which the fans had
presented. After playing several
exhibition games in eastern cities,
I boarded a train for Kansas. When
1 reached Coffeyville, I learned a
Missouri Pacific car had been deco
rated and was waiting for me at
st. Louis. OF course, I wouldn't
have sneaked in that way and
spoiled all the committees plans
but honestly, I'd felt mighty un-
comfortable in that kind or car.

the Pacific coast.
Aside from this incident. the
prOgram was q great success. The
mayor and others, made speeches

I had to listen to a lot Of cOmph-
ments that belong to all the play
ers on the Washington team.
Facts are, most of the speeches
were made at my house.. When
the committee found had ar
rived ahead Of time, they came
out I'm q body TO see me. When
they arrived / was unpacking

The 1924 celebration was a great
success. The stores closed for
half holiday and they told me. even
the post office closed by special per-
mission OF the authorities at Wash

saw the game ana enough money
was collected to wipe out the debt

but didn't understand his business.
He asked me long string of queR-

continued to ask questions and TO

 Daylight Saving Comes In

Returning home in the afternoon these men will now have time to work in their gardens for several hours before nightfall. It will mean, too, that athletic teams will have time to practice after supper and that the town, as a whole, will be able 10 enjoy an hour of sunshine in the evening after the work of the day is done.

Excel lent entertainment was provided each evening and for those worship pers of Terpsichore there was ample opportunity to trip the light fantastic.

Fairchild of Yale University,
In paper prepared for tho con
Nenton Of the American Association
for Advaneemcnlof Science, here De-
cember IS 10 January =. the profess
sor, who will head the investigation
provided by the Clarke McNary For
estry act, dwells upon taxation ms
particularly pertinent,
In this regard he advocates thu
substitutions OF the principle OF "in-
come or yield for capital value as
the basis of taxation"
ANY enterprise may be handicap
ped or destroyed by excessive or dis
crimlnatory taxation" he declares,
Forestry is peculiarly sensitive 70
taxation, and finds the general
property tax most burdensomc.
I'm forestry. the major income
may appear only once in every fifty
or sixty years. The annual property
tax, even when perfectly administer
ed is certain to impose an excessive
burden"
Privately owned forests still EN-
brace about four-fifths Of all the
forest and in the country, he states,
adding that private owners cannot
be expected TO handle their proper
tics TO meet the public interest I'M
less the business is profitable.
THE following conclusions" Pro-
fcssor Tairchild says, are now gcner-
ally accepted:
Special favors to forest owners
are not the solution.
The revenues Of the states. conn
ties, towns. etc, must not be impair
ed.
Taxation must not be on obstacle
IN the way OF far-sighted investment
in forestry"
He concludes by advocating taxa
ton based on income or yield.
