 Rev Largo, Fla, Dec 2s.--(UP) ---Thia is n story about Dave Newell of the fruitlands, Florida, Neweiis.
 While 1t is being written in the lounge of the Key Largo Anglers club. 1t is no Ash story.
 A bunch of us were sitting on the porch of the club . few nights ago, costing from the rigors or wrestllng with the sai1fsh, barrncudas nnu other fighters of the Gulf stream. when conversation became q trIne difficult because of the tremendous hooting of tho hoot owls In the ncsrby trees. When the owls gave Indication they planned hootins wei into the night, someone sug- seated rathering a few shotguns and shooting the owls to sleep.
 "Why do that" voice asked from the corner. If you wish the hoot owls to stop hooting, I think maybe 1 can stop 'em."
 With that Dave Newell, of the fruitland. Florida, Neweils walked into tho yard. took the cigar from his mouth, threw back his head, and gave of the most magnincenl iloot you ever heard. Had you not seen him standing fhere in the moonlight, lips pursed. you would have sworn the daddy Of all hoot owls was hOoting. A couple or more hoOts and Dave stopped.
 For minute all was silence and then, flying at top speed, the h0ot owls swarmcd from the trees and made straight for Dave. Those who arrived too late to find c perch on Dave's shoulders and arms hopped about at his feet. With q dozen or more of the solemn birds hanging onto him, Dave walked In from the yard and took q seat. Those birds that didn't got q ride into the house, sat quietly in the yard.
 Two hours later, when we were through discussing the days catch. Dave rubbed the owls or and went to bed. Most Of them flew back into the forest. but few remained on the porch all night, waiting for Dave, who they considered the greatest hoot owl of them all, to come out again.
 Hoot owl calling is not Davs's first love. however. His vote for the greatest of nll sports goes to big game hunting with . pack of

 Question - Wl,at ls the best method of breaking ID the center tap when you are being constantly 0ut-Jumpcd?
 Answer--At the beginning of the game would have both forwards drive In hard and high off the ground to break up side tap balls.
 ono guard should be assigned to break up the back taps by cutting right behind the center as soon as tho ball goes up. This will neces- sariiy entail switch between for- ward and guard.
 Tho alternative solution to tho problem k to have two forwards and two guards plant themselves nt four strategic points on the court, in what 10 commonly known as tine "unbalanced formation" one man is in front and another directly in back of the center, . third player at his left and q fourth at his right.
 Tho player stationed behind the center is there to break up pos- sibIe back-taps, while tho one in front must be ready to intercept direct taps. The men on the sides move in whichever direction the ball is tapped.
 If your opponents use q big for. < ward to receive fast side tap, you must counteract the maneuver by placing your biggest man on that side of the court to compete for Y the ball.

A second edition of Mickey Walker, the Jersey "toy bulldog" stepped into the ring at Madison Square garden the other. night and, with odds against him, pounded little Sammy Fuller. Boston Ital- ian, Q very promising lightic, into unconsciousness after eight rounds of rough shindig.
 He was Jimmy McLarnin --- surely you've heard of him before --the belting Mick who halls from
 "Baby Face," they nicknamed wars back in 1924. But after eight years of punching around the face that once fooled It's opponents by its peaceful look has taken on q slight scowl that comes from a fighting heart.
 A True Son
 The Mick came right from tho old sod. 1t Is said that when he migrated to Canada from Ireland he was so small that his father could tuck him In basket in which he kept the family's pet bunnies.
 Perhaps Jimmy inherited that peaceful expression from the rab- land. And it's probable that he . long line of fighting Irish for bears.
 There's no doubt that shamus is c fighter of cham pionship class. Since he started fighting, he's knocked on the door of fivc cham pionships hyweight, bantam. feather, lightie and welter. And while the fellow was banging doors ho also banged quite a few noses very hard.

 Thon he took Q fling at the ban tams. and sought q match with Charley Phi Rosenberg. the champ at tho time. But by tho timc Rosenberg was backed into . corner. the sweet-faced kid had outgrown the division.
 Tho featherweight division was next, and young James blasted Jackie Fields, one of the best in the class. from tho picture in two rounds.
 Then he outgrew the feathers and entered the lightweight. Hc wnded through Kid Kaplan and Sid Ferris by the knockout route. and then faced Sammy Mandell, the champ of the division at the time. in . title go.
 Sammy, the Teacher
 That fight taught Jimmy lot. It broke his heart to lose to Mandell after 10 furious rounds. Hut he learned that . good straight loft hand is c swell thing to have whom trading blows with someone. Mandeli taught him 6 lesson. and 1t looks as if James has absorbed 1t.
 Now Jimmy hes grown to bc a welterweight. Ho is cunning for crack at Jackie Fields. the champion he licked as . feather weight.
 Perhaps James can take Jackie where he couldn't succeed with Lou Brouiiiard. tho former cham pion who lost his crown to Fields. Lou is one of the few fighters to

MARYLAND 4 A {
DEATH RATE
DECLINE
Decrease Shows 1858 Per Cent
In rs Years; Typhoid Loss
Registers Big Change

BALTIMORE, Sept. 21.-
The general death rate in
Maryland has declined 1858 per
cent in % years, due largely
to progress in preventing
disease rather than in curing
it, according to DR.. John Col
linson.
The chief of the State depart
ment of health's bureau of vital
statistics, in an address here,
added:
"The records of life and death
furnish abundant evidence that
the work of public health
authorities to prevent illness
and insure health pays, and that
it can be regarded as a finan.
Cial investment which, in many
instances, gives immediate re-
turns out of all proportion to
the sums invested"
CHILD HYGIENE GAINS
The death rate per 1000 popu'
lation in Maryland in 1905 was
17.9, but was only 1872 in 1881,
he said.
A decline in infant mortality
due to education campaigns in
prenatal and child hygiene fields
improved sanitation, and safe
guarding of milk supplies. was a
big factor in the reduced death
rate, he said, adding:
"The first step toward pre-
ventiOn of diseases is to know
where they are found, the ex-
tent to which they occur, and
their relative importance; such
records are of the utmost value
in determining the health
needs of a community"
Typhoid Vaccine
A quarter-century ago, there
were more than Al deaths from
typhoid for every 100000 popu
lation, but last year there were
only 6 per 100000, the 81 pei
cent improvement being due large
ly to public health work and the
use of typhoid vaccine, he con
tended.

CITY CODE HAS
VERY EXACT
STANDARDS
Presence of Army Man on
Board of Commissioners
| Adds Efficiency

Opportunities for political
graft are probably less ex-
istent in Washington than in
any other American city OF
comparable size. That con-
dition is one of the factors
making for economy in munic-
ipal administration.
In politically controlled munich
palities, city contracting jobs are
generally regarded as political
plums. A man on the Inside"
in politics can be awarded jobs
on which he can make enormous
profits.
Spells Are Rare
Washington, by reason OF It's
unique system of government, is
practically immune from that
sort of thing. There are more
numerous and effective checks on
city contracts here than else
where, and officials believe, now
that a 10 per cent cut has been
invoked on all contract jobs not
actually agreed upon, that about
everything practicable is being
done for economy so far as those
bobs are concerned.
The law requires that contracts
shall be awarded to the lowest
responsible bidder, and that the
prevailing rate of wages shall be
paid.
Not much construction is &C
tually done by the municipality
itself. It's departments supervise
construction, however. Occa-
sionally, in spite of all precau-
lions, an irresponsible contractor
is awarded a job, but even in
that case there is no monetary
loss to the District, as rule,
since the contractors are bonded
Higher Standards
District construction standards
are much higher than those for
private construction, and con-
tractors who submit bids must
show that they have already put
up buildings of similar character
to those for which the bids are
asked. Many bids are rejected
because, although the contractors
show that they have done large
scale building jobs, the standards
of construction of those buildings
do not meet the Districts re-
quirements.
When, as at present, one Dis
trict committee at the Capitol
is organized by Republicans and
another by Democrats, the op-
portunitieS for political graft are
practically nil.

ISLAND
TAXES HIT BY
NEW PLANT
Ten Additional Residents of
Area Protest Rate as
Development Bar

ANNAPOLIS, Sept. q. "A
petition signed by 10 residents
of Gibson Island, augmenting
previously filed protests from
40 summer residents of the
island, on record today with
the Anne Arundel county COM
missioners, asks a reduction in
the tax assessments and rates
on the ground that the resi-
dents get few if any benefits
from the county for the money
they pay out.
Filed by Francis Key Murray, a
Baltimore attorney, the protest
declares that the high taxes
makes it difficult to sell vacant
lots on the island, discourages
building and permanent resi-
dences, and impedes the growth
and development of the island.
The tax rate for the Third dis
trict, of which Gibson Island is a
part. is $2.55, including 80 cents
for county expenses, rs cents for
roads, and 81 for schools. How
ever, the roads on the island are
privately maintained, while most
of the residents are there for the
summer only, keeping their chill
dren in other schools, the protest
declares.
