America, stated on a visit here last
night when discussing the Mexican
religious situation.
The Rev. Bashir whose headquar-
ters are in New York City has just
stated last night that he believes
passed 10 months in Mexico and he
the Gales government is doing only
what is right and what is in ac-
cordance with the Mexican constitu-
ton There is no desire on the part
of the Mexican government to restrict
religious worship of any variety, he
! asserted, but itN aims to keep any
denomination in that country from
meddling too much in politics AS
long as the various denominations
are willing to abide by the consti-
tuition and not dabble in politics or
stir up the people against the gov
ernment on religious grounds, the
government will not interfere in any
way with their worship, the Rev.
Bashir declared.
An ideaIist, in some respects yet
a forceful, pleasing and brilliant
personality, the visiting clergyman as
serted that he believes the day will
come when all denominations will
worship Christ as one and when they
will be broad enough to cast aside
petty jealousy and personal partial
| ity. God" he remarked lis great
I, and broad enough to see that all
denominations are worthy and de-
serving, but man is too often SO
small that he sees only his own
church and his own denomination as
the favored one"
| In the eyes of the Rev. Bashir, all
religion and knowledge flow from
the same fountain and each forms a
| separate stream which flows finally
into common ocean. '"The fruits
which are raised by the people liv-
ing along these rivers" he said, de
pend upon the use which the people
put the water, for the water is all of
the same great variety
churches are divided today in his
eyes, due simply to ignorance. The
Rev. Bashir will pass several days
here in the interests of the Syrian
refugees of whose plight he is anxi-
GUS to inform Americans.
He stated that thousands of them
have been flocking to Damascus due
to the revolution in that country.
This morning he will speak at the
Episcopal church at IL o'clock. Yes
terday he passed among members Of
the Eastern church and likewise made
a few calls upon the American church,
men. From here he expects to go
to Bisbee, Tucson, Phoenix, Miami
and Globe.

CARLSON SAYS
FOOTBALL MEN
0. K. CHANGES

| j. E. Carlson, Jr., principal or the
high school, who recently returned
fro mStanford university, states that
he talked with many prep school foot
ball coaches this summer and that the
general opinion was that the changes
in the football rules will be for the
good of the game. While some of the
changes seem vital yet it remains to
be proved that it will slow up the
game.
The four major changes affect the
forward pass, the safety, the ground
rules and the kickoff, or free kick.
Hereafter, no team can throw more
than one incompleted pass in the
same series on downs without suffer-
ing a five-yard penalty. The single
pass allowed without penalty will be
permitted on the first down only.
This is the most drastic Of the rule
changes effected.
The next most important change
was made in the safety rule. Here
after the ball will be put in play on
the 2O-yard line instead of the 30
yard line, but onl yas kick. The
team in possession of the ball will be
given the option of bunting, drop
kicking or place Kicking the ball,
with the opposing team restrained"
at distance of 10 yards.
The new rule automatically makes
this play an onside kick, making it.!
necessary for the defending side to
catch or recover the ball before a
player on the kicking side reaches it.
The change in the ground rules de-
clares any ball dead" that passes
beyond the limits of the playing
field, where heretofore this held true
only in the case of a bali going into
the stands or beyond the fence sep-l
arating the field from the stands. A
fumbled ball over the linz making the
10-yard zone or beyond the sidelines |
belongs to the side whose player last
touched the ball within the limits of
the playing field.
If a blocked kick rolls outside, the
ball goes to the blocking side, while
tumble that is touched last in the |
playing field simultaneously by op-
posing players goes to the team that
did not put the ball in play. Punts or
passes out of bounds belong auto
matically to the team that did not
put the ball in play.
ca a kickoff or free kick, player
who steps out of bounds will NOT pe
eligible to recover the ball.
Reasons for Changes
,Nhere are reasons for making these
four changes. The new forward pass
rule will prevent teams from indIs,
crlminate heaving of the ball in the
last moment attempt to tie the score.
Penalty follows every incomplete pass
after the first.
The safety rule breaks up the
practise of taking intentional safeties
at random by team in the lead.
The intentional safety at a critical
moment is a tactical move, but has
been overdone in recent years.
Copies of the new rules may now
/ be secured and all players should
acquaint themselves with these
changes as well as the fans.

GRAIN MARKET.
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire }

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-Alluring reports
of a rosy crop outlook in Canada took
wheat values downward today. Clos
ing quotations here on wheat were
heavy, 13s to IA cents net lower with
corn 1 n to 1 u cents down, oats u to
"a cents off and provisions varying
from unchanged figures to 15 cents de-
cline. i
Emphasizing the bearish effect of Ca
madam crop advices were unlocked for
setbacks in wheat prices at Liverpool,
and the view was strongly urged by
some trade leaders that the North
American wheat surplus this season
will be enough larger than last year to
offset European shortage. Consider
able falling off today in the volume OF
current export business was also a
weakening factor. The gisb of the Ca
madam news was a summary based on
renorts from 800 unofficial correspon-
dents indicating that there has peen
wonderful recovery of the wheat crop
in Saskatchewan, and that te total ylelq
in the three prairie provinces will be
as large as in 1925-that is, about $780,
100000 bushels.

crease of the United States wheat WIS.,

further to deprive the Chicago wheat
market of French buyings support. A
good deal of notice, too, was taken OF
drastic neasures to curtail the use, q

were by no means unanimously accept
ed here, and some authorities main
tanned that there will be a material de
crease Of the crop in Saskatchewan

tai acreage of $4,000 for the three
