GRID TOGS COME HIGH;
OUTFIT NOW COSTS 500

BY the Associated Press.
Not so many years ago all that was
necessary to play foot ball was mop of
hair and disdain for hard knocks.
Today it costs 500 to outfit one
player.
Most of the regulars use two or more
outfits q season, while star back, like
a star dancer, gives the shoemaker a
laugh. He uses a pair game.

Four million horse power is running

 Pointing out that official estimates had placed corporation tax collec- ! tions for the fiscal year 1927 at $1,- 2o,oo0,000 and that the same fig ure had been calculated for this and next fiscal years. McWhirter said it has now become evident that the tax liability shown by corporations upon their 1927 returns will mot vary substantially" from that of 1926 when the taxes due were at least s1,24e,ooo.ooo.
 Tn other words,' he added, Ire gardless of the nature of the in- come tax, and the undoubted growth in the volume of business. a fixed estimate is used for the receipts from source yielding a good third of the total revenue receipts of the government It would seem reason able to assume that, granted that business conditions in 1928 calendar year remained in general at par ity with those of 1927, receipts in 1929 fiscal year from current cor poration tax at rate of 1872 per cent would exceed the official es- innate of s1.1e0.O0o.o 900 by at least s100. 0.00O,00O."
 Back Tax Collections
 Pointing to the s331. 900, 900 in back taxes collected in 1927, Me- Whirter called attention to the es- innate of s22o.oo0, 900 in this cate gory for the fiscal year 1929 and said this did not seem reasonable to the chamber
 ''The official statements" he said, would seem to mean that in the $220. .000.o00 now estimated as re- ceipts from back taxes in 1929 fiscal year there are $1oo.o00.0OO of these delinquent current taxes"

Martin W. Littleton, another of Sinclair's counsel said the defense would require q week. but he be- lieNed that by next Friday the way would be open for concluding argu- ments.
 The first defense witness will be Capt. John k. Robison. retired, for mer head of the navy bureau of en- -ineering, who has been called for Monday The second witness will be Dr. H. Foster Bain, head of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. The defense will try to show the lease was entered into openly.
 Yesterdays developments saw an- other rush of witnesses to the stand and q general accelsration of the proceedings. now in their second stage as q result of the mistrlal of the joint conspiracy case against Fall and Sinclair.
 The testimony Of ten government witnesses and the reading of preNi- oUs testimony of three others re- volved largely around the alleged secrecy thrown about the drawing lip and letting Of the naval reserve lease by the former interior secre- tary to Sinclair.
 Senator Heard
 Among those heard were Senator kendricR of Wyoming and former Nondell. of the same state, who testified that while they made inquiries Of Fall to obtain in- formation about the status of Tea pot Dome as late as April 15, eight days after the Sinclair lease was signed i'll 1922. the former secre- 'ary's replies made no mention of the fact that the transaction al- ready had been closed.
 Other witnesses, including oil op- arators. testified they likewise had tailed to get any satisfaction from Fall or his office regarding the pos- sihllity of leasing the Wyoming re- serve, but agreed on cross -examina- ion that they would have been un- able to undertake a lease as com- prehensivc as that which Sinclair signed
 As on Wednesday, much of yes- .erday's testimony. especially that correspondence of Fall, now in a sanitarium, in the west. was placed in the record over ob- ections of the defense.
