He is big. broad-shouldered. soft

farming.
He picked smaller tract of land than

had built log cabin and cleared several
acres for cultivation. The first settler
gave up the battle after getting that far.
"V7E had just $40 after we got on

Last summer we grew 200 bushels
of potatoes on two and half acres. Of
course. potatoes aren't worth much of
anything now. but they are good hog
feed. as well as good food for the family.
I'VE also raised corn and plenty Of
vegetables of all kinds. We grew enough
hogs to keep us supplied with meat win

CHANGES IN BOXING
MEASURE ADOPTED
Virginia House Acts After Sponsor
Accepts Gov. Pollard's
Amendments.
BY a STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

BY staff Correspondent Of The Star
RICHMOND, Va, March s. Upon
the statement Of its patron that the
changes were agreeable to him, the
House of Delegates yesterday adoptd
the amendments to the Gary amateur
boxing bill that were suggested by Gov.
John Garland Pollard.
Gov Pollard returned the measure
with the recommendation that 1t be
amended so that it would actually
legalize amateur boxing, eliminating
reference to schools, colleges or Young
Mems Christian Associations. The
Governor had previously stated that,
as drawn, the bill would have been
discriminatory in that 1t would have
permitted amateur boxing matches
only if sponsored by schools accredited
by the State Board of Education or
Young Mems Christian Associations,
denying the same right to schools not
accredited and to other organizations.
AS amended the measure will permit
amateur boxing matches under rules
that, according to the patron are word
for word those which are laid down by
the American Athletic Amateur Union,
The Governors amendments, the pa
tran said, will perfect the bill.

Installment Taxes

Dr. S. T. Leland of the University of Chicago, who has been studying taxes, finds that tax delinquencies are reduced by install- ment payments Wherever this method is permitted, whether in national, state or local taxation, collections are better than when collecting agencies insist on payment of total tax bills by a certain date.
 The installment plan Is spreading accord ingly, to the great relief of distressed tax payers. It is recognized that full payment should be expected. whenever 1t is possible: but there is no more logical reason why par tial payment of arrears. at least should be refused by. tax collectors than by merchants. The only serious objection is that it makes more complicated bookkeeping. But this is difficulty which can be overcome. The extra work it makes in accounting is easily paid for by the increased collections.

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
: Amelia Tells How She
 Came to Be a Flyer

From the moment that Amelia Earhart landed in Ireland. after her solo flight across the Atlantic, it was inevitable that she would presently write 8 book.
 The book has now appeared. It is called "The Fun of It." and the only surprising thing about it is that it is rather more inter esting than you would expect.
 The books subtitle is Random women in aviation" That describes the contents pretty accurately.
 Miss Earhart Cor, if you prefer, Mrs Putnam) begins by telling Of her own girlhood in the middle west. She had an early ambition to be a doctor. studied science in school with that end in view, and during the latter part of the war worked in a Toronto hospital for wounded soldiers. s
 Then, when her family moved to California, she learned to fly, after which she went to Boston and engaged in settlement work. It was her first transatlantic light, in the Friendship, in 1928, that turned her from a settlement work CT to g full-fileged aviator.
 That flight is fully described in her book, and there is a sketchy last chapter dealing with her re- cent solo ocean flight. There are. also, few chapters devoted to the experiences of other women flyers. All in all, the book is pleasant. unpretentious affair that will fill an idle hour or so for you very agreeably.
 It is published by Brewer, War; ren & Putnam. and costs $2.50.

Chairan J. Henry Rorabaek of the repub lcan state central committee will be eastern campaign manager for President Hoover this year. This appointment is made despite any signs of unfriendliness that the local re- publican chieftain may have expressed to- wards the president of recent years. Of course, Mir Roraback hasn't been opposing the president since he was elected in 1928, but up to and right after the 1928 conven- ton he was for Calvin Coolidge. We often wondered if he still didn't have some long, ing to see Coolidge back in the fight as events transpired and it became apparent that Mir Hoover was not living up to all expectations Of course it wouldn't be good politics to say SO. but we remember how the state chairman insisted in 1928 that the Connecticut delegation remain true to Cool idge even in the face of the Hoover land slide. Still that shouldn't prevent his con- ducting a good campaign for President Hoover He is now third vice chairman of the republican national committee. Inci- dentally Representative John Q. Tilson of New Haven will head the speakers bur eau for the east, as he did in 1928. That can more readily be. understood, as Mir Til sen has always been and is expected always to be, Hoover man.
