RULE CHANGE URGED
FOR BASKET BALL
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
J CHICAGO, April Exchanging bas-
ket ball rules so it will be impossible
for a team to make points on one
drive under the basket will be urged
by Ward Lambert, Purdue University
coach, at meeting of the National
Association OF Basket Ball Coaches here
tomorrow and Friday. -
Lambert, chairman of the rules COM
mittee, does not favor other changes
in the rules, such as those proposed
regarding the dribble and elimination
of the tip-off.
In order to eliminate the "five-point'
possibility, Lambert suggests that the
ball be taken back to center after free
throws, whenever an official allows q
basket and calls a foul on the same
play, just as the ball Is taken back to
center after the free throws on q dou-
BILE foul.

Civitan Club Hears
Talk by Judge Oglesby

Besides world peace, the proper
enforcement of law is the biggest
problem before the nation today"
declared John M. Oglesby in an
eloquent address before the Boone
Civitan Club at it's weekly luncheon
st the. Daniel Boone hotel last
Thursday. Speaking on the subject,
my Classification as a Lawyer
the able jurist said whatever contri-
button he made to society, would be
made as a lawyer; and so with the
minister, the doctor, and the layman.
He urged the club members to study
the judiciary, to take the same in
tterest in the courts as they do in
civic affairs.
He declared that you can have
just the kind of law enforcement
you want" the less interest shown
the less effective the court will be
in coping with crime.
Judge Oglesby called attention to
the fact that there are more boys
between the ages of II and % in
the penal institutions of the state
than any other class; and these boys
sare confined in the state prison, on
the chaingangs and common jails of
the commonwealth with hardened
criminals. North Carolina can boast
of it's great industrial progress, but
there is something wrong when "a
condition of this kind exists. He
urged his hearers to interest them
selves in the establishment OF facili
ties for the care of wayward boys
and girls so that they may be re-
claimed to society.
Ex-Judge Tam C. Bowie was in
troduced to the club and made
brief talk. Solicitor John R. Jones
was also guest of the club.

THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION

A ring of federal guns Tuesday
pent up the main army of the Mexi-
can rebellion in the streets of the
desert town of Jiminez with all rail
lines of retreat cut, federal bombing
planes dropping death from the skies
and federal artillery repeatedly mas
ter of the rebel machine guns.
The government a Mexico City de-
scribed insurgent troops as bottled
within the railroad station and 9TH
er small positions which they hold
within limited radius in the town."
The rebels were said to have made
desperate but futile attempts to
break through the federal lines.
Fighting was hot but full lists OF
casualties could not be procured.
General Gales said the federals had
"lost 25 dead, but the enemy many
more" Federals captured SO rebels
General Almazan, commanding
the attacking federals, estimated the
insurgents were closing 800 men
daily. Each moment the rebell's
decentralization increases" he added.
Genera Escobar was reported to
be personally in command of the
rebel troops at Jimenez, but federal
aviators had sighted and pursued a
rebel pane which rose from Jimenez
in the morning and which General
Gales supposed to bear away some
rebel leader fleeing the beleaguered
city.

Changes in Fishing
and Hunting Laws

Two important changes in the
fish and game laws. of the state got
through the legislature in its clos
ing hours, it is announced by tn
department of conservation and d
velopment. One provides for
state fishing license for all anglers,
with county rights reserved, and the
other opens the hunting season for
quail and rabbit on the same date,
November 20.
All anglers who desire to fish out
side the counties of which they are
actual residents must procure a a.
cense, which will cost $2.1O. The
dime is to pay the cost of issuing
the license. The money goes into
the department of conservation
funds for aid in stocking streams,
lakes and ponds so that the sport of
fishing may continue to be better
and better. A nonresident of the
state must pay $3.10. If one fishes
only in the county of which he Or
she is resident it is not necessary
to secure the license. Those who
hold license may fish in all coun-
ties.
All of the details or issuing the
license have not been announced yet
but it is presumed that they may be
secured from the clerk of the court
or through the game warden as soon
as they are ready. At present a
state license is required for rod and
reel fishing. The new license ap-
plies alike to rod and reel anglers
and those using the ordinary hooks
and lines. An> exemption is made
that a person may fish on his own
land without license, in whatever
county the land may be located.
Heretofore the season for hunting
rabbits has usually opened fifteen
days or. month earlier than the
quail hunting season. Many sports
men have taken the view that this
led some hunters to succumb to the
temptation to shoot quail in closed
season.
Thanksgiving Day has always seen
tens of thousands of North Cars
linians take to the fields with guns
and dogs. Recently only the rabbit
season has been open. Under the
change in law the rabbit and quail
season will both open on November
20, which is earlier than Thanksgiv-
ing ever falls. The open season on
doves also is set for this date.

EQUALIZATION BOARD SAYS
3O-CENT TAX is MINIMUM

The decision that the 3O-cent
school tax rate is the minimum and
not the maximum school tax in
North Carolina, determination to
insofar as possible allow the local
authorities to run their own schools,
and recognition of the fact that the
Hancock school law increases rather
than deminishes the powers and re-
sponsibilities of the state depart
ment of education were the princi-
pal results of the two-day session OF
the state board of equalization in
Raleigh last week, devoted to a study
Of the education bill passed oy the
1929 legislature
The final session Thursday, at
which Attorney General Brummitt
gave his Interpretation of the law,
was secret, but the members of the
board talked freely of the decisions
which they reached.
The attorney general explained
that under the most ideal conditions
it would be impossible for a ccun-
ty to get along with the 30-cent tax.
which is the basis for participation
in the equalization fund, since al
tax rates must include an allowance
| for collection expenses and for taxes
which will not be collected because
of insolvency of tax payers. In con-
sequence, the lowest rate which can
be levied under the law is 80 cents,
plus the cost of collections, plus an
allowance for insolvents.
In addition, the county commits
sioners are authorized, but not re-
quired, to levy a tax which will
amount to not more than per cent
of the amount allowed in the budget,
for the purpose of paying salaries in
excess of the state salary schedule
which is incorporated in the act.
DR.. B. B. Dougherty, president of
the Appalachian State Teachers
College, the author of the bill, was
present at Thursdays session of
the board and was of material aid
in helping the members arrive at a
working Interpretation of the law.

slightly changed throughout the state
that there will be hardly any loss of
teachers, but there is resident in the
