Often the dribbler has a clear cut

of the two-hand chest shot, he drib-

scores his basket with the one-hand
short shot, a shot that Craig Ruby's
Illinois fives have always mastered.
The shot is so accurate that almost
one-fifth of all baskets scored in

America has joined its neighbors

THE District of Columbia Chapter
of the Izaak Walton League OF
America has joined its neighbors
in Baltimore, Frederick, HagerS-
town and other places in bitter
fight on pollution of the Potomac River.
A new publication just issued by the
conservation department OF Maryland,
entitled Maryland Fisheries, a semi
monthly magazine, has the following 70
say about the pollution of the Potomac:
Restoring the Potomac to its former
pristine glory, as it was in the days
when Grover Cleveland fshed in 1t, Is
the fond aim Of the Izaak Walton
League. And with the aid Of the Mary
land State Conservation Commission,
the United States Bureau OF Fisheries
and the Board Of Health 1t Is hopeful
Of accomplishing this ambition.
Back in those dear, dead days, the
Potomac River, in the neighborhood OF
Big Pool and the Woodmont Rod and
Gun Club preserve, was a veritable
fisherman's Utopia. Bass, both big and
small mouthed, lurked in the pellucid
depths of the river and gamey trout
were to be had for the mere casting
in the smaller tributary streams. The
stretch of river from Hancock to Cum
berland was Cleveland'S prize fishing
grounds, and the late President spent
rock near the Woodmont preserve.
The rock to this day is known as
'CIeveland's Rock and there Is also
a chair in the clubhouse in which ne
and other Presidents sat.
To-day this same stretch Of river Is
virtually devoid of finny life and en-
tire barren of bass. Where once these
great gamefish disported now only a
few despised rough fish swim. Pollu-

Greensburg. is slowly but surely getting
In its deadly work. Gradually even the
rough fish are being exterminated and
II some action is not taken soon the
Potomac River. from Cumberland to
Washington, will be as barren Of life
as the Dead Sea-"
The local "Ikes" are up in arms
against the condition of the waters of
the Potomac and Rock Creek, both
streams being highly polluted and pro-
nounced so by the local Health Depart
ment and the Public Health Bureau.
Section 90l of the code of laws for
the District Of Columbia says:

AS the player leaps he aids himself
in gaining greater height by kicking

a high Jumper. BY this time he has
transferred the ball to his right

shoots the ball.
Instead of shooting it over the

TAX CASE is REOPENED
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
New York, California, the American
Bankers Association and the Massachu-
sets National Bank Association have
asked the Supreme Court to reconsider
its decision last term holding invalid
an excise tax imposed by Massachusetts,
on corporations.
Oregon and Washington had already
joined Massachusetts, in urging that the
case be reopened.
New York. California. Oregon and
Washington have laws similar to that
of Massachusetts,, which was declared
unconstitutional. These laws imposed
taxes on corporations and banks meas
ured by their income The highest tri-
bunal declared such taxes illegal and,
in effect, tax on income from tax-ex-
empt securities.
The briefs contend States have the
right to tax net incomes derived from
all sources, and that such laws equalize
the tax burden between banks and cor
porations, the inclusion of income from
tax-exempt securities as a part Of the
measure of the tax being only incidental
to carrying out that object, and not in
violation of the well established prin-
ciple that States cannot tax the bonds
or income derived from tax-exenpt
securities.
