TECH AND EASTERN
MONOPOLY DENIED
Other Schools Held Likely to
Share Major Laurel in Next
Five Years.
BY EDwARDA. FULLER, Jr.

A era OF better competition is
~ looming for District public high
n school athletics. We cannot
agree with the recent predic-
ton of man prominent in the schools
that Eastern and Tech would probably
fight it out for all the major titles for
the next five years. This might be the
case for the next couple of years,
though we wouldn't even bank on this,
but 1t most certainly will not, the way
we see It, for the next five.
In fact, we want to go on record
right here and now as willing to wager
that Eastern and Tech not only will
not win all the championships in base
ball, basket ball, foot ball and track
during the next five years, but Central,
Western and Business Eyes, we said
BuSineSs) will come through in some of
these sports.
In fact, we dare to wager that East
ern and Tech will not win all the cham
pionships in base ball, basket ball and
foot ball during the next five years. II
Central, Western and Business Eyes, we
said Business) does not come through
in some Of the sports we certainly will
be surprised.
Stadium a Big Help.
Eastern has the advantage for some
time of fine stadium and other equip
.nent so important in the development
of strong athletic teams. Tech has
shown well in sports despite that until
a short while ago it was without ade-
quate facilities. and even now is still
without proper equipment for base ball
and foot bah. the new stadium not hav-
ing been completed. Both Eastern and
Tech, therefore, have no worries on
the score Of facilities, at least Eastern
hasn't, and work at Tech is expected
to be completed in another year or SO.
Central has had i'll luck for some
time in the matter of championships,
but we believe that the Blue cannot
much longer be denied and that GER
tainly within the next five years Gem
trail will carry of one, If not several
titles. Western is soon to have new
athletic field and a fine new building
for Business High is to be erected. once
in possession Of these facilities both
Western and Business are expected to
show to markedly better advantage in
public high competition.
Basket Ball Starter.
Yes, sir, it looks like the even, bang
up competition which prevailed during
the recent title basket ball series is
likely to prove the forerunner of plenty
of this kind Of battling during the next
few years.
Such state Of affairs certainly would
be wholesome. Public high fans would
not as body want one or two schools
to win all the championships. It would
be too monotonous. They want new
champions. most of all the drama which
is entailed In the browning Of new
champions. We believe their wishes win
be gratified so, far as the ensuing I'VE
years are concerned. seG Asf

Things Chinese
The killing Of a Chinaman in
Matamoros threw a scare IN the CT
items Of that town. and had
Brownsville talking for days. IN
fact, its still talking.
Mention OF tong warfare, OF Sc
cret societies. Of dragons is going
the round. The only things missing
sre sliding doors and incense burn
ing in huge Buddhas. Scarlet scarfs
picturing dragons and other exotic
emblems have been found near the
murdered body Of the Chinaman.
Mexicans are still nervous. and
anyone with Chinese blood in his
veins looks over hts shoulder often,
to see II any stealthy murderer is
approaching with daggers and in
tent TO kill.
Even the clocks have ceased to
sound bong-bong-bong. They go,
instead, tong-tong-tong. 1t is claim
ed.
There may be some foundation
for the belief that tong warfare has
broken out in this neck Of the
woods, but we believe that if the
murdered man had been a Russian
a rumor OF soviet uprisings would
have circulated just as rapidly. Or,
If he had been an Indian, fear Of
Indian raids. and OF painted war
riors on the warpath, would have
been the result.
But he was a Chinaman, so we
have tongs.
Il IS possible that no one viii ever
know how or why the Matamoros
baker was killed. Chinese are not
famous for their love Of publicity,
ard II he was killed BY a mar or
men OF that nationality. it IS safe
to say that they will never tell.
Seaweed
Seaweed. stringy. dirty brown,
full Of peculiar berries, is occupy
ing the public eye along with Chi

The weed is piling up along the
gulf shores and at some places
reaches the height Of several feet.
An aerial survey of the situation
disclosed that the stuff extended as
far out as Is miles in the Gulf OF
Mexico, and was apparently drift
ing stubbornly towards the beach.
A San Benito resident has suggest
ed that the stuff be sold to some
chemical manufacturing concern.
and let them use it for iodine.
However, seaweed is seaweed. and
is creating a lot Of trouble.

MERGE has written 20 Washington in

Desert PLUNGE
To Open Soon

Announcement is made by Fred
Kenyon. owner of tho Desert<Plungc
at Eighth stmet and Park avenue,
that i'll all probability the plunge
viii be opened to the public month
or possibly even two months earlier
than last season.
Many improvements have been
made ON the grounds by Kenyon dur
ing the winter and he will be able
to offer many more convenicnccs for
his patrons than was possible last
year. The two patios have been put
TO grass and otherwise improved.
One of these will be for the use of
swimmers alone. This will have
easy chairs and umbrellas placed
about, with low tables upon which
bridge may be played or tea served
during the intermissions from swim
ming The other will be for spccta
tors.
Kenyon has spent much time gath
cring desert relics from various
places and at present hos collcc
tion of Indian pottery which makes
a wonderful showing. His cacti gar
den has been enriched by several
valuable plants, one of which is the
famous crucifixion thorn cactus.
This plant is known to grow in only
two places, the one in ,Ierusalem, the
other i'll Arizona, and Kenyon has
transplanted some specimens here,
IN an effort to make this county an
other home for this curious and al
most sacred plant.

INCOME TAX DUE

March Is, Saturday of this week, marks the close of
the time in which returns for the 1880 income tax may
be made.
The government has done much to aid those who
must pay the tax placing at their disposal experts who
will enable them to make out their returns in proper
manner. This year by act Of congress the tax has
been greatly reduced over former years.
In recent weeks score more of pominent Holly
wood actors and actresses been heavily fined in
the federal courts for making false returns in previous
years, or for failing to make any at all.
The income tax is unpopular among some, who think
that 1t should not apply to the person of moderate
means There is plenty of argument to support their
contention. However the law has been made and
should be obeyed.
In this city those who must pay the tax can avail
themselves OF the services OF government expert who
Is at the chamber Of each day this week. 1t
IS his businss TO give advice and information the ta
and assistance in making out income returns with
out any charge whatsoever
Many of US will wait until the last minute to make
the returns. 1t will help considerably if all who do
SO file their returns before the last day in order to
avoid deuge of work for the government on the
final day.
