Indiana's state highway commits

islative session, it was predicted TO-
day. besides facing a legislative in
yestigation of overeXpenditure and
possible reorganization on full-
time commission basis
This prediction was not made by
the Democrats, but by State Sena-
tor Alonzo H. Lindley powerful farm
bloc Republican leader from King
man.
Il am not in favor of cutting state
highway revenues, but I know that
this legislature will have to do it to
relieve some of this local tax bur-
den" Lindley told The Times.
while the highway department
now gets 3 of the 4 cents gasoline
tax and the cities, counties and
towns the other cent, it will be nee
essary to put the split on a $3.50
basis Our local tax units must have
that other cent to reduce rates"
FavOrs Income
The senator, in the city to attend
the state aid school commission
meeting Monday, stated that he Will
favor both sales and income tax to
relieve the property burden.
Governor Harry @. Leslie, VINO
personally dictated the appointment
Of John j. Brown as state highway
director, will oppose a cut in the
department revenues most vigorous

have to be passed over his veto.
IT am against decreasing the

taking away this additional cert,"
he asserted some time ago, in de-

their putting the state into debt
$1,650,O0O.

Indiana's Constitution forbidS the
state going into debt, but the high

CATION of the highway department,
as he is proud Of its splendid rec

He denied a report that Brown
might resign before the session
meets, to keep from embarrassing
the administration.
Would Mean Huge Cut
This embarrassment might be
brought about by legislative in
quiry as to how the department,
with some $22 100000 to spend. went
into the red with Brown at the
helm.
Should a cent be sliced from its
revenues, it would mean a budget
cut of more than 100000.
According to reports from the

meeting in Pittsburgh, Indiana has
more paved and hard surface high

Playing Better Foot Ball.

A series OF articles for boys, prepared from
questions onsioeTcd by leading college coaches,
iacIndinq GiIm0ur Dobie of Cornell, C. M. Price
of California, Dick Hanley OF Northwestern, Mil
ton OlGadeY Of Illinois, Ernest Z. BeGT0 OF Ne
broskG and Glen F. ThistIethtodtte of Wisconsin,.
ITO THE members Of foot ball teams back
field belongs the important task Of adj
vancing the bali, Of gaining ground and scoring
by the use of running plays, passes and kicks.
Line plunging Is the foundation Of many
teams attack. The most important thing for
the good plunging back to learn is the proper
use Of his head back and legs. Not all players
can become successful buckers because some
do not have the necessary freedom Of hip and
waist movement. The best plungers can bend
forward easily and naturally at the hips without
losing their balance.
The head should be held down as the player
goes into the line, and the back should be
parallel with the ground. This form puts the
weight of the body well forward, and gets the
legs and feet behind the body where they are
powerful to push, drive and lift
In plays through the line the man with the
ball has to follow his interference closely be-
cause such plays start from a compact forma-
ton. In running the ends, however the back
with the ball should be farther behind, so that
If the defensive ends and tackle drive into the
play he will not be piled up with it. When the
end and tackle are playing a waiting game,
however, the ball carrier has more time to cut
around his interference after they are blocked.
No matter what type of play is being used,
the back must always remember that he is
carrying the ball. Many a game is lost by
poor handling and fumbling, and many a
player misses his chance to become a good
back because he cannot hang on to the pig
skin. That's one thing that every ambitious
back must learn, and learn thoroughly.

Il Lucky Accident.

"Does it really hurt badly?" Mrs. Lane
asked. her voice fun of concern for her
daughter. I'm sorry, dear but don't know
what more can do for it,"
Frances buried her head in the pillow
"Oh, it isn't my hand" she sobbed, waving her
bandaged right hand out behind her. 1T
hurts, but can stand it. I won't be able to
play in the recital now Oh-h-h," her voice
trailed of into wall
Mrs. Lane patted her little daughters head
and wisely said nothing. She knew that just
now Frances would not be able to stand any
sympathy All year long Frances had been
hard at her music, and it had been almost
certain that she would win the prize and the
trip to the city with her music teacher to hear
the famous Austrian pianist. And now, just
10 days before the recital she had burned her
right hand so badly that she wouldn't be able
to play.
Miss Arnold the music teacher, was very
sorry to hear of Frances accident. She was
the only real musician she had in her class
OF course, she had not told Frances, but
there was no doubt in her mind that Frances
would win the prize, and she had made ar
engagements to have her play before the famous
Austrian pianist in the city.
He is very eccentric" the manager for the
famous player had said, "but I think can
arrange a hearing for one pupil from each
teacher"
Miss Arnold had been so sure that Frances
would make a good impression, and 1t would
mean much for her to have pupil accepted
by the famous Austrian. She was almost as
disappointed as Frances herself.
IT have an idea, Frances" she said when
she was calling to express her sympathy. Herr
Won Berg is the composer of a really wonder
full piece for the left hand. If you could only
get it in this short time there might be hope
yet. 1t is very difficult, though"
"Oh, don't care how difficult it is" Frances
cried, her eyes shining. She had never worked
so hard in all her life. Over and over again
she practiced the difhcult composition until she
had it perfectly.
"Nein. My head she ache. I weel not hear
these dull exerceez," the great pianist cried as
he stamped through the big concert room.
Then he caught sight of Frances sitting with
only one hand on the keys. "Ah, my dear,
thees ees different Do you play my left-hand
composition? I viii 1eesten."
And that is how it happened that Frances,
Of all the pupils gathered there, was the only
one permitted to play for the great master.

Use Of Scrap Albnm.

1T is very fascinating to collect scraps, and
by scraps I mean all kinds of things from
snapshots to pressed flowers and beautiful
poems" said Eileen Gibson, whose turn it was
to address the Hobby Club.
There is one piece of advice which may
safely give to all of you who collect scraps.
Have a scrap album. For some years it was
a favorite hobby of mine to get this wonderful
and miscellaneous collection together. I used
to stow them away in envelopes, then some
times 1 would paste them into scribblers.
Then came the real idea, would make
nice album to keep them in. A large and
nicely bound album bought at a store costs
quite bit, so I thought I would try out an
experiment of my own. / cut two thick, fair
sized pieces of cardboard to the same size.
Then got q supply of nice white paper. OF
course you can use any color Of paper you
like. I placed the paper between the pieces OF
cardboard, then I bored holes through the
paper and the cardboard. Through these holes
I drew stout pieces of silk cord and tied them
into firm knot.
ct then cut to the shape of the cardboard
cover piece of brown linen, pasted it on very
neatly and bound the edges all around with
some scarlet passe partout. From my collection
of picture post cards selected one with q
beautiful scene of ship at anchor in a harbor.
This pasted very carefully and neatly on the
middle of the linen cover, giving it really
lovely and artistic finish.
lone can, Of course, make these scrap book
covers Of any colored material that is strong.
Some people would prefer to embroider the
decoration instead of FASTING on a picture.
Only one word of warning: this work requires
extreme neatness and care in the finishing"

''The salvage game is not new to the Homer. In 1917 she was sent from San Francisco to Tackarora in the South Seas, 200 miles from Tahiti to attempt to refloat the full rigged iron sailing ship County of Roxbury, which had been driven ashore by a tidal wave in 1912. Scores of natives were drowned by the tidal wave and the County of Roxbury was cast on the beach. Only one member of the crew of the windjammer, the ships carpen- ter, was lost.

 Captain Hansen has been in the salyaging business since 1912. He has been master of the Homer off and on for total of IA years. The Homer has been a salvage ship since 1915.
