n YORTH CAROLINA colleges arr
beginning Spring foot bal
vi practice this week. Candt
A. dates for University of North
Carolina and Duke UniveI>
sity elevens of next Fall were called
out Monday. while the North Carolina
State College squad was scheduled to
get out today. Seven or eight weeks
of real foot ball work are ahead, and
II is intended that the workouts shall
not be anything other than the same
kind of grind that marks the first sin
weeks of practice in the Fall.
North Carolina and North Carolina
State are very optimistic over their
1927 prospects, but it is at Duke Uni
versity that feeling close to elation
exists over the anticipated results or
next season. Jimmy De Hart, who
took charge at Duke as head coach
last September. has openly expressed
himself as confident he Will have one
of the best teams in the South.
Teams that gave us beatings last
Fall are going down before us next
wear" says De Hart, "and you can
bet that from the varsity material
we have left and from the fine fresh
man outfit that represented US we
shall get enough men to weld an eX-
cellent 1927 varsity. We are going TO
have a good team and should De aple
to hold our own in any Southern COM
pany.
Coaches Say Little.
Nobody at North Carolina Univer-
sitv nor ANYBODY at North Carolina
State College is willing to talk as
De Hart talks, according to report,
but both institutions are certain they
will have much better elevens next
season than last. Especially is TINS
feeling evident at North Carolina Uni
versity, where the Notre Dame system
was installed in September of last
year. With the 1925 experience and
this Springs workouts under that sys-
tenn the Tarheels just about feel sure
they will come through with one OF
their fine teams.
Just what has been wrong with
foot ball at North Carolina State the
last two or three years nobody seems
to know, but Coach Tebell intends to
do lot toward finding out within
the next eight weeks. The Raleigh
college always seems to have big,
strong teams, but always has diff
Guilty winning games.
Beginning of practice at North Caro-
lima State and University Of North
Carolina and Duke is only fore
runner of what is to. come in the
colleges in Virginia and here a little
later. That section in matter of
weather is just about month ahead
of this immediate part of the Ameri-

will begin preparation for what they
hope will be their most successful

of Rloecher & Schaaf and over 20
other Baltimore butchers and meat
packers, the action having the effect
of sustaining the validity of the meat
inspection ordinance of Baltimore
regulating the slaughter and prepara-
ton of meats for local conSumption
The ordinance was challenged on
the ground that it placed butchers
and meat packers operating eXclu
sively in Baltimore under the inspc-
ton and regulation of the Baltimore
Health Office while eXempting those
operating an Interstate business
which comes under Federal inSpec
ton, and farmers who slaughter on
their farms.
The trial court. held the ordina nee
invalid, but the Court of Appeals of
Maryland sustained the ordinance.
holding ii a valid exercise of the police
power of the city in the interest Of
the health of the community.
When the case was under oral argu
ment the Supreme Court declined to
hear counsel for the city. taking the
view that the appellant had failed to
disclose controversy which would

|S10,00Q,O|)D PARKS
PROPOSAL OPPOSED
Georgetown Citizens Insist
Federal Government Paw
Share of Cost.

After hearing Col. L. s. Grand, Sd
Director of Public Buildings and
Parks, explain the proposed park de
velopment, the Georgetown Citizens
Association last night voted against
the draft of a bill to have the Federal
Government advance the District $40.
600 900 for parks. The association
met in the Potomac Savings Bank.
1t was the opinion of the asSocia
tion that the proposal was a camou-
f1age for the bond issue proposal
which was turned down last year. The
associate instructed it's delegates to
the Federation of Citizens Associations
not to vote for any measure which
would not obligate the Federal Gov
ernment to pay a part of the cost. AT
the same time the association ap-
proved the park project in general
and told its delegates to favor any
plan which would divide the cost be-
tween the District and the Federal
Government.
Would Increase Land Values.
In speaking of the park plan, Col.
Grant pointed out the value OF prop
erty near the parks probably will he
greatly increased as the result Of set
ting aside the land for park purposes.
He said this in answer to objection
that using so much land for park pur
poses would make this land untax.
able. The increase in the value of
the adjacent land. he argued. would
mere than make up for the cost of
using land for parks.
ONLY twn large tracts of land re-
main to he purchased to complete 4
link between Rock Greek and Poto-
mae Parkway. Col. Grant said. About
81 800. 400 is needed for this purpose.
he said.
Discussing the highway situation i'm

served for highways. This is the only
