Upon his return from Washington
D. c., last week, O. S. Warden, chair
man of the Montana state highway
commission, gave out considerable in
formation regarding the highway pro-
gram worked out by officials of the
federal government, and now to be
put into operation as soon as possible.
In his report Warden stated that
while there was much controversy, the
distribution to the states, in amount
seven-eighths of the total grant to be
allotted under the terms of the federal
highway act and one eighth on the
basis of population, was brought about
through the support of the highway
organizations and the congressional
delegations from the western part Of
the country
The distribution within the states,
however, is meeting some objection in
some parts of the west because there
was desire to close up important
gaps on the federal system and this
conclusion cannot be fully realized
because rs percent of this federal aid
granA goes to projects on extensions
OF the federal system into and through
and Is percent to Sec
ondary feeder roads leading to i'm
portant market points.
Approval Il Necessary
These rules and regulations were
completed the day before Mr.. Warden
left Washington and he was able,
to discuss them with the
highway officials of the bureau of pub
lie roads. The entirely new setup in
procedure will cause some delay in the
citing of contracts for this state be-
cause 1t will be necessary to hold

BERLIN, December 28.-It is too late
for convicts in German penitentiaries
to resolve to make good this new year.
On January 1, 1884, a new penal
code goes into effect. 1t is described
by some as perhaps the most oraStlc
of modern times. Many Of those now
behind the bars face extended sentences
as a result.
Since the advent to power of Chan
executed under specially passed and
still existing laws, interpreted partly
to apply to political and criminal Slay-
ings.
Awaiting execution in his cell at
Leipzig, Marinus van der Lubbe, young
Dutch bricklayer is the first man ever
sentenced to death for arson in Ger
many.
denned last Saturday was passed Just
after the Reichstag Building fire, Feb
rlary 81. It was declared retroactive,
making Van der Lubbe's confessed
crime Of starting the fire high treason.
New Justice Now Due.
Beginning with the new year, more
rigorous measures-hailed as genuine
justice'-will be inaugurated.
Committees are at work "HitleriZing'
some 20 kinds Of justice, ranging all
the way from matrimonial to maritime.
Compulsory sterilization laws go into
effect January /, too, along with new
civil code. That also is the date for
the reinstallation of military courts.
That criminals and malefactors are
beyond redemption Is the attitude In
dicated by the new criminal laws.
Serious offenders who are considered
to constitute "a public menace" will
not be released from Jail even after
serving their sentences. They will be
compelled to perform forced labor as
long as they are so considered.
There is a clause for sterilization OF
Dangerous sex criminals"
Roundup Is Greatest.
Under the general sterilization law the
greatest roundup Of sick human beings
in medical history is occurring as q
prelude to putting it into effect.
On January 1 100 eugenic courts
will begin to function to pass on the
cases Of an estimated 100000 "heredi-
tary incurebles."
One of the most striking features of
sentenced may escape only by going into
an institution for the rest of his life at
his own expense.
Commenting on this, the Frankfurter
zeitung said. The rich can evade
sterilization by restricting their liberty,
but for the poor there is no way out"
In eases of necessity" the law pro-
vides that police may be called to quell
rebelliouS patient on the operating
table.
Few Limita tions Set.
Only when sterilization may entail
peril to life may exemptions be made
Operations will not be permitted on
youths under IA nor in cases in which
for advanced age or other reasons the
person concerned is not capable of re-
production"
Beginning January military courts
will begin to function as in imperial
times for the ReichSwehr and navy
Death by shooting has been reinstateo
as capital punishment for soldiers
Members Of Hitler's party and his Storm
Troops are subject to special jurisdic-
ton.

endar," the committee commented that
previous reforms were solely concerned
with adjusting the calendar to the
length Of the solar year.
The calendar reform problem of the
twentieth century, however, is to re-
move two major defects, the report
states. One is the fractional relations
Of the week to the months and the
other. the incessant cycle Of changes
from year to year in the week day
name Of January and the consequent
changes In the day names Of all other
dates.
Comparing two plans for q fixed cal
endar suggested by the League Of Ma
tions, the committee approved the 13-
equal month plan rather than the L.
month-plan limited to equalizing the
quarters Of the year.
Supporting its argument for the 13-
month calendar, the committee states
the N. r. A. has requested statistical
information from trade associations and
code authorities on a four-week basis.

QUIT BOXING

SACRAMENTO, Sept. l. U.P) =
Young Corbett III, who held the
world Welterweight championship
briefly after seven-year cam
paigr, announced his retirement
from the ring TODAY.
Corbett, the Fresno, Calf, vet
eran whose real name is Rafael
Giordano, wants state position as
boxing inspector.
He revealed a life long fear Of
becoming punch drunk He
started fighting IA years ago at
the age of IS and has won more
than 100 battles. For years he was
known as the "uncrowned cham
pion," having defeated the then
titlists in overweight bouts.
He lost only three fights during
the seven years he fought nam
events. He was beaten by Domi-
Kick Mccarthy of Fresno, Sergeant
Sammy Baker of New York, ard
Jimmy McLarnin of Vancouver, b.
G.
Corbett won the welterweight
title from Jackie Fields. In his
first defense of il he was stopped
in the first round by McLarnin.
Refusal of McLarnin's managers
to give hjm a return bout is one
reason for his retirement, Corbett
said.
I'm tired of waiting for fights =

cost me $1,000 I'm getting out
with some money but it won't last
long unless I work.

LOCAL PLAYER
SYMPATHIZES
WITH VERGEZ

Perhaps the sports page is not
the proper place to recount the
misfortunes of athletes, but where
else should a paper put such an ar
ticle.
Frank Smith, third baseman for
the All-StarS in last nights game,
can sympathize today with Johnny
Vergez, who plays the same posi-
ton for the New York Giants.
If Frank is sympathizing he is
doing it from a cot at La Solana
hospital where he was taken early
this morning to undergo an Oper-
alton for appendicitis. Johnny Ver-
gez is also on hospital cot back
in Boston, having been taken there
during the night, also to have his
appendix removed.
Another parallel in the cases Of
the two athletes, separated by the
breadth of the country, is that both
hit home runs for their teams yes
terday. Smiths came in the seventh
inning, however, while Johnny got
his in the fourth.
Reports from La Solana state
Frank is doing splendidly. The same
news comes from Boston, thus
again taking up the parallel lines
in the lives of the two third base
men

RUTH NOT CERTAIN YET THAT
HE WILL RETIRE NEXT YEAR

Miller Higgins worried wrinkles
about the "Peck's Bad Boy OF
baseball. The pace grew so hot
that the Yankees owners hired
detective to watch Ruth and his
friends.
So in the winter of 1928, the
sports writers arranged a dinner
at the New York Elks club for
Ruth. None of the details was for
publication, but Ruth was put on
the gridiron and given the most
scathing series of lectures OF his
career. The former Mayor Jimmy
Walker. then state senator, would
up with his famous speech about
how Ruth must remain the hero
for the small boys of America.
With tears in his eyes, Ruth con-
cluded his response. fellows 1 have
finally realized you newspaper re-
porters are the best friends I ever
had in my life"
At midnight Ruth took his pledge
to lead an exemplary life.
That dinner and that pledge
probably added years to the Babes
playing career-a career which has
virtually reached its end.

VINES MAKES
FINE SHOWING

SOUTH ORANGE. N. j.. Sept. /.
Ellsworth Vines, the lanky
Californian who has had a disas-
trous tennis season. appears TO
have sharpened his game to razor
edge for next weeks defense of
his national singles title at Forest
Hills.
Playing yesterday in the two
day tourney in which the West
beat the East five matches to four,
Vines lifted his game to top strata
by defeating Wilmer Allison, No. 2
in the national rankings Allison
played on the Eastern team, al
though he comes from Texas.
Before yesterdays victory over
Allison, it was generally believed
that Vines would lose his title next
week. But if he flashes the same
game at Forest Hills, Francis X.
Shields of New York, Jack Craw-
ford of Australia, Fred Perry of
England and Jiro Satoh of Japan,
his outstanding rivals, will have
considerable difficulty in beating
him.
Vines victory occurred just when
the East was leading Al, follow
ing Wednesdays games and Gene
Mako'S default to frankie Parker
of Milwaukee in yesterdays first
match.
After Vines victory, the West
swept the three remaining matches.
Lester Stoefen of Los Angeles beat
John Van Ryn of East Orange, N.
j.; Joseph Coughlin and Henry
Culley of San Francisco and Santa
Barbara, routed Manual Alfonso of
Philadelphia and J. Gilbert Hall Of
South Orange in a doubles match.

Angeles defeated Parker and Greg
ory Mangin of Newark in the last

their main attacking weapon. l.
would rob players like, say, Ellis
worth Vines and Frank Shields, OF
at least third of their power, and
place them on the same level with
the Englishmen who 60 in for class
ical strokes and subtle strategy, ra-
ther than overpowering speed.
The movement has reached sucn
proportions that the staid London
Times has written an editorial or
two on the matter and turns over
a column or so a day to letters from
its readers, all of whom see the
present system Of serving two balls
as a wicked. stupid and wholly un-
sportsmanlike thing.
One of the unofficial hackers OF
the plan is Mr. Henry Wilfred
Bunny Austin, England's rather
aesthetic No. 2 player. Mr.. Austin
licked both Vines and Wilmer ALL
son in the inter-zone finals this
year, but he doesn't like the can
nonbau service at all, finding it
great bother. Besides, his own first
service ball is a trifle weak.
AS was pointed out earlier, Eng
land isn't setting any precedent by
seeking means to bolster its chan
ces of holding onto the cup. France
did the same thing. Like the Eng
lish. the French feared American
speed. so the first thing they did
after winning the cup was to con-
struct the slowest possible court.
They insured its being at its SLOW
est for the cup play by ploWing II
up each winter and treating 1t with
water and chemicals. Too, they
were not above wetting it down
with a hose on the morning OF play.
The French did something else,
too. AS the cup-holding nation mas
the right TO choose the balls 10 be
used the clever Frenchmen came
out with a ball so soft and fuzzy
that hitting it was about the same
as lobbing an adult caterpillar. ,
Wallace Carroll of the United
press Paris office, who has covered
European Davis cup play for years,
and who is in New York vacation
ing. thinks Englands scheme mas
little chance Of succeeding.
THE English are very much sola
on the idea" Carroll said, but II
would have TO be adopted by the
international federation, and that
body is unfriendly toward revolu-
fjonarv changes. I doubt if it gets
mast the conversation and letter-to-
the-editor stage
