Basketball rules are uniform the

For this and for other sufficient

DR.. James Naismith, originator of
the game of basketball estimates that.
at the present time. there are cigh-
teen million people playing this in
door game.
The reason why basketball has
spread SO uniformly to all the nations
Of the globe is undoubtedly due to
the incidents Of its inception. In
1891. when young Naismith originated
the game. he was a teacher at the
Springfield. Massachusetts,, Y. NJ. G.

Naturally, the secretaries sent out
from this school. carried the knowl-
edge Of the court game, along with
their other work. into all the world
and taught the principles of basket
ball to all peoples.
believe that this is the reason why
more people are playing basketball
today than any other game-and the
end Is not yet. .
Practically every foreign country
has rules patterned after our Amer
tcan game. They look to us as the
mother country, and have right to
expect guidance from us in formulat-
ing rules and il shaping sportsman
ship.
DR.. Nais,nith tells me that he had
received recent copies of the rules
from Greece and Turkey. Also, in
Germany and France the game is
flourishing. The congested areas OF
Europe make large play space pro-
hibttivc. Basketball fits admirably
into such scheme, and also. into the
temperamentS Of these central Euro
pean peoples. Foreigners take their
games seriously.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Responsi-
bility for the interruption of the
work OF the American Museum of
National History in Mongolia is laid
at the door Of a Chinese organiza-
ton, the Society for the Preserva-
ton of Cultural Objects, by DR..
Henry Fairfield Osborn, president Of
the American museum, in a COM
munication which will appear in the
forthcoming issue of the scientific
journal, Science"
The expeditions Of the museum,
OF which the present was intended
to be the seventh, have attracted
world wide attention because of
their sensational discoveries of dino
saur eggs and fossils, and for their
hope of finding the original home of
the human race.
The Chinese Society for the Pre-
Bervation Of Cultural Objects is not
in any way an official body, but it
possesses great influence and ap-
parently has been able to bend Off
GERS of the Chinese government to
its will.
Andrews Tells Of Troubles
Roy Chapman Andrews, leader Of
the American field party, describes
much anti-foreign propaganda which
this organization has been carrying
on through the press and other
media, charging American and Euro
pean scientific expeditions with
stealing China's priceless trea-
sures," infringing her sovereign
rights" seeking for oil and miner
ais" being spies against the gov
eminent" and so on.
At the beginning of the 1929 sea-
son. Andrews states. the Chinese de-
manded joint participation in and
control over the field expedition, re-
tention in China of much of the
material obtained, eventual return
of all specimans sent to the United
States for STUDY, and payment by
the American museum Of all ex-
penses for China experts to this
country to carry on research in the
museum.
After prolonged negotiations In an
endeavor to obtain a modification of
these demands, the American mu-
scum authorities decided to suspend
operations.
Chinese Hamper Explorers
The Chinese Society for the Pre-
aervation of Cultural Objects, An
drews charges, has interfered with
the transportation of specimens OBJ
tanned by the expedition of a year
ago. causing Chinese officials to hold
them at Kalgan for six weeks, and
demanding certain concessions to
the society before they were released.
DR.. Osborn adds that through the
active interest of the Chinese min
lister, DR.. Chao Chu WI, and Sec
Getary of State StimSon, the collec-
ton finally has been shipped and
now is on the way to the American
museum, after a delay of more than
a year.
American scientists have not been
alone in their molestation through
the influence of this Chinese So
ciety. A large Swedish expedition,
under the noted explorer, Sven
Hedin, was forced to accept the adj
dition of a group of Chinese to its
personnel at Swedish expense, and
to hermit Joint Chinese control.

CHOICE OF HURLEY
MEETING ACCLAIM
Favorable Comment on War
Secretary Selection Heard
on All Sides.

President Hoover's elevation of Col
Patrick j. Hurley from Assistant Secre-
tary of War to the head of the military
establishment, which important post he
has been filling since the death of
James w. Good nearly month ago, is
being met with much acclaim.
The favorable nature of the COM
ment from all sides following his an
nouncement late yesterday of Col. Hur-
ley's promotion has given Mr.. Hoover
today every reason to feel that he has
made a most popular selection, and that
the appointment in every particular will
prove to be a most happy one.
In Army circles the appointment is
known to be pleasing, and at the Cap
itol Senators and Representatives have
expressed great satisfaction. What the
President is hearing today from all
quarters is that he has not only picked
a man universally popular and well
liked by all, but one of wide experience
and exceptional ability to take over the
war portfolio.
Likely to Please South.
Aside from all this, President Hoover
feels that the South will be pleased
now that il has representation in his
cabinet. Col. Hurley halls from Okla
homa, which State Joined others in
that section in foresaking the Demo-
cratic candidate for Herbert Hoover in
the election of 1923. 1t is known that
there was considerable disappointment
in those States when Mr.. Hoover failed
- int NF niti1onC m his
cabinet at the beginning of the admin
istration. Following Secretary Goods
death the claims of the South were
again laid before the President. Busl-
ness men, regardless of party affllla-
tions, and political leaders in virtually
every section of the South ana South-
west are known to have urged the ap-
pointment of Col. Hurley as Secretary
of War.
President Hoover is known to have
been greatly impressed by this evidence
of Col. Hurley's popularity and the
esteem in which he is held. He re-
ferred to this yesterday afternoon, when
he publicly announced his appointment
of Col. Hurley. Mr.. Hoover said in
this connection that by putting Col.
Hurley in his cabinet the South would
now have the representation 1t had so
earnestly desired.
The President added in this connec-
ton that Col Hurley is lawyer of
wide experience; that he had dis
tinguished himself AS a soldier" and
had illustrated his ability as an execu-
tive"
Well Fitted for Post.
OF course the satisfactory manner in
which the appointment is being re-
ceived generally throughout the coun-
try is highly gratifying to President

NEW PEPCO RATE
SET AT At CENTS
Reduction on All Schedules
Becomes Effective on
January |.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day announced reductions in the elec-
trio light and power rates amounting to
one-half of cent per kilowatt
hour on all schedules. These rates will
be effective on bills rendered by the
Potomac Electric Power Co. on and
after January /, 1880, regardless of
whether the current for which the
charge is made was used in 1929 or
not The reduction affects $4,000 con-
sumers, Of whom 1900 are in Mary
land and the balance in the District.
600.
The new schedule A rate Is reduced
from SO cents per kilowatt hour to Al
cents. This is the domestic rate for
general lighting of all homes and
apartment units. Schedule c, the rate
for general lighting for apartment
houses, is reduced from 81 to As cents
per kilowatt hour, and the same reduc-
tion is made for schedule D, which af-
fects general lighting of department
stores. The industrial rates will remain
unchanged.
The reductions given above relate
only to primary rates. Secondary rates,
which are charged for excess consump-
ton over certain stipulated minimum
consumption, will also be reduced, but
the amount Of these reductions will not
be announced until later.
The annual reduction in light rates
which has continued uninterruptedly
since 1925 Is made by virtue of COM
promise court decision made nj 1924
when the rate was 10 cents per kilowatt
hour The decree provided that the
company should be allowed to earn 7ia
per cent on its valuation. Any excess
earnings over this percentage must be
applied one-half to reducing rates the
following year and the other half to the
company.
In 1925 the rate was reduced from 10
to 7la cents and since then the follow
ing annual reductions have been made:
1926, from rs to z; 1927, from Z to 6.25:
1928, from 6.25 to SO; 1929, from So to
So; 1880, from So to Al.
During the current year the company
earned, with the last two months eSti-
mated, $l,318,000 in excess of 7la per
cent return. Half of this sum, or $685.
600, was used in reducing the rates. OF
this sum $271 900 will be used in reduc-
ing the domestic rate and the balance
will be spread over the other rates.
