Associated Press Photo PASCUAL ORTIZ RUBIO

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 18.-Pascual Ortiz Rubio, National Revolution ist Party candidate for President, has been swept into office by what appeared to be the greatest Presi- dential vote ever cast in Mexico. Jose Vasconselos, Anti Reelection ist candidate, conceded the victory of Rubio in a statement and at tributed his defeat to interference at the polls by the Orti2 Rubio fol- lowers.
 Indications are that Rubio was swept into office by perhaps ma jority exceeding 100000. Considerable violence accompan- jed the voting. The casualty list 1 however, is limited in area, includ- ing the Capital, and showed that 10 are dead and a score seriously wounded. Five are dead here and five are dead as the result of the clash over a voting place in the state of Vera Cruz.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Forecasts of 0,000-share days on the New York stock exchange has made Wall Street ask: How?
 The prospect of days to come when gigantic tidal waves of stock trading might break over the coun- try, hurling stock sales up to 4,000,- 900 an hour, 66,000 a minute, 1900 shares a second, has drawn the Streets best brains toward an anx- ious examination of the stock clear ing corporation.
 The main function of this organ ization, which is owned entirely by the New York stock exchange, is to eliminate, as far as possible, the physical work of delivering by mes senger millions of shares daily from selling brokers to buying brokers. Its mechanism is delicate, and late ly has been over-taxed.
 Wall Street asks how much far ther it's facilities can be stretched without breaking? The question might well be: How long can hu man being work without fainting?
 Four million shares have come to be normal for the big exchange. Ten million or more swamp the clearing facilities. But the staff merely works late and digs itself out. It is when there is a series of abnormal days that it constitutes a crushing burden on human endur- ance.
 The clearing house, around which the world of stock trading turns, is corporation with two branches. It performs five main tasks, two in the night branch, two in the day branch and one in both branches The five tasks are:
 CD To supply meeting place or post office" where confirma- tions of buying and selling orders can be exchanged by brokers mes sengers at the close of business. | (2) To lump the days transac- tions and compute the net amount of any issue each brokerage house must deliver or receive. These two are night branch functions.
 (3) To provide a meeting place (again the post-office idea) fol 1 brokers messengers to deliver and receive the actual stock certificates remaining on balance after the

Last week I told you how to keep in
condition to play basket ball, and gave
you an idea of the equipment you
would need. Let us suppose, now. that
you have your squad organized
are ready to start actual practice.
The first thing that you must learn
is the proper way to hold the ball.
Perhaps this sounds foolish to you, but
there is a right and wrong way, and
holding the ball properly is a very
long step toward playing a good game.
Place the ball on the floor or on
a table. Spread your fingers wide
apart as though you were warming
your hands over a fire, then place
your hands on top of and around the
ball, with several inches of space be-
tween the ends of your thumbs, which
point diagonally toward each other.
Now you have the ball in a position
to push it away from you, and you are
gripping it with the fingers. This is
the correct way to hold the ball for
practically every motion Of the game,
with the possible exception OF o u
shooting. Even then, the overland
throw from the foul line, but if you
are a natural underhand shooter, then
it is permissible to toss a free throw in
that way. But at no other time should
you have your hands under the ball.
AS you practice this grip on the
ball, you will realize that large hands
are helpful in the game, but even II
your hands are small, you can learn to
grip the ball properly. Once you have
learned this simple but vital point.
you can next learn to handle the ball
and it is impossible to get too much
of this sort Of practice. Line up the
players of your squad in a circle. Have
each man take the ball and pass 1t
several times from one hand TO the
other. extending the right arm far out
tc the side, then bringing the ball
across to the left hand, then reversing
the movement. Then the player can
pass the ball around his back, be-
tween his legs, OF in any other way,
finally passing 1t on to the next player
in the ring.
Keep this practice up steadily, in
creasing its speed until every man on
the SQUAD can handle the ball deity
and surely. And right here is a good
place to say that the basket ball player
in a game should never stand with the
ball motionless in his hands, but should
keep it moving constantly. as this
makes it much harder for an opposing
player to guard him and to determine
whether he Is going to pass, shoot OF
dribble.
After you have handled the ball, you
can practice footwork, which is also
extremely important, and gradually you
can combine the footwork and the ball
handling. The basic position for the
feet is with one foot-the pivot foot
In front of and about 18 inches away
from the other foot. Either the right
or left foot may be advanced, accord
ing to which is more natural to the
player, but it is best to learn to pivot
with either foot.

a fellow will try to get revenge on
another fellow by terroriZing his sister,
then that's just about the limit"
II don't know what you're talking

right have you got to come in here
and talk like this, anyway? Get out!'
You do know what I'm talking
about, and you're going to listen" re-
piled Barrie. Il suppose you deny that,
in an effort to get revenge on Jack
here, you decided to make his sister
lose the University medal by frighten-
portant test coming On. You deny that,
do you?"
You're crazy!' clustered Shorter.
"You don't know what you're talking
about"
IT don't, eh?" Barrie laughed grimly
"And I suppose you weren't the ghost

paled. "You didn't know about thai

You can't prove it was me-" gaspee
Shorter. Nobody would believe you
MY word is as good as yours"

anyway, I've got enough proof to sent
