Spain in 1924. When the Spaniards
conquered Mexico they found semi
domesticated turkeys in the ZOO
logical parks of the Aztecs. Among
the Puebla Indians of the Southwest
turkeys were raised before the COM
ing of the Spaniards and these fowls
had reached about the same degree
of domestication that pigeons have
among us.
At any rate, by 1541 turkeys had
found their way to England, and a
generation later they were already
favorite Christmas dish among the
farmers of that country. There is
probably no truth to the common
story that turkeys were originally
so called because the English sup
posed that they came from Turkey.
The fact is, that before the discovery
of America the terms Turkey cock"
and Turkey hen" were applied to
the Guinea fowl, native of Africa.
These two species of bird were easily
confounded and the name was trans
ferred to the American Species
Literary Digest.

One year ago wished that
A banker great might be

And financial majestey;
A mighty Wall Street banker
With a whopping lot of power
And an income of somewhere

A thousand plunks per hour;
A solid Wall Street banker
With securities in sacks
And with clever men to show me
How to pay no income-tax;

Who raked in cash like hay;

TEAMS CLASH
On CENTRAL
GRID TODAY
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GARRETT WATERS
High school coaches are silent
lot at times, particularly when
they are pressed for details con-
cerning games their team must
play.
They're always a little bit
afraid to tell too much for fear
that the opposition might take
advantage of well laid plans after
these same said plans have been
typed vividly in print.
However, they'll crash through
with the information desired If
only reminded that after all sup
porters of high school play liter
ally swallow the dope handed out,
etc, etc, etc.
Coach Chief Guyon, of Eastern,
was cornered yesterday concern
ing his teams lineup for this
afternoons scheduled interhigh
school series game with Western
at the Central Stadium at $3.50
o'clock.
"WilI the regular lineup start,
Chief?" we asked.
Haven't got any regular line
up," was the answer.
"What about Tommy Nolan
and Ray Wierschem, the two
fellows who were hurt in the
Central game? will they be
able to play?"
"Well, maybe yes, maybe no.
I IreaIly can't say"
Suppose they won't be able
TO play, just who will take their
places? Now, you don't have to
tell absolutely, but sort of hand
out an idea."
"By gOIly, I think I'll ask Hap
HardelI to lend me couple Of
his men if Nolan and Weir
Schem can't play. I could use a
couple of his backfield boys

''Aw now, Chief, break down
and confess who might play

son and Kiatta, do they sound
logical to yOu?"
Don't know bout them,
guess I'll send Artie WOndrack
and Skip Faber into action.
They'd be & crack combination,
wouldn't they?"
"Sure, Chief, but it will be
Richardson and Kiatta, won't
it, if Nolan and WierSchem find
1t inadyisable to play?"
"WeIl, i dOnnO, but maybe"
And so, far, far into the night.
Eastern meets Western today
in what will be its second inter-
high clash within a week. The
Lincoln Parkers tied Central last
Monday in that 90 contest and
with it had the misfortune of
losing Nolan and Wierschem,
quarterback and tackle, respec-
lively.
The pair of youngsters might
play today if their injuries have
recovered sufficiently. If not,
Eastern will go into battle weak
ened no little as both performers
have risen to top recognition by
their experience and abilits this
year.
Even so Eastern should defeat
the doped Western eleven as
Coach Ahern will be sending only
four men from last years team
into action, namely, Corcoran,
Gammage, Krausse and Wynne.

Low BEER FEES
WIN ASSEMBLY

ANNAPOLIS, April 4.-The
general assembly of Maryland ad-
journed today sine die, closing its
9Gday session after an all-night
meeting which lasted until 10
a. m.
Victory for low beer licenses in
Baltimore marked the dying min
utes of the house of delegates.
Democrats pushed through Sen
ate amendments which reduced
beer license fees in Baltimore
from $3.50 to $50.
The last bill to be passed by
the house was one which had
been sponsored by Lansdale G.
Sasscer, Democratic floor leader
of the senate from Prince Georges
county, making some changes in
the banking laws.
This ended the most hectic SeS-
sion of the Maryland general as
sembly since the days of the
Civil War.

MARYLAND RACE
BET TAX VOTED

ANNAPOLIS, April 4.-Designed
to produce 100000 in additional
revenue in each of the next two
years, a bill providing for a tax
on pari-mutuel bets at Maryland
race tracks was adopted by the
house last night.
The measure provides for a !
per cent tax on all money bet
at race meetings. Meets at bona
fide county fairs and agricultural
exhibitions are exempt.
Introduced in the senate by
Senator William D. Byron CD
of Washington county. the bill
has passed the upper house. It
is to become operative June /.
AS the measure does not become
operative until June, it will not
affect spring meetings.
Administration officials have
based their revenue estimates on
the receipts from tracks last year,
and by this method have decided
the measure will yield 100000
annual revenue.
The current budget will expire
at the end of the fiscal year on
September 80. The parl-mutuel
tax bill is expected to meet budget
needs for the fiscal years of 1884
and 1885.

CHORALS HEARD
BYF|RST LADY

A large and brilliant audience,
headed by the First Lady, Mrs.
Roosevelt, attended the annual
Lenten concert of the First Con-
gregational A Capella Choir at
the Mayflower last night.
An ambitious program embrac-
ing a wide range Of compositions
from Tudor period to contem-
porary music was presented by
this excellently trained mixed
chous of some so voices.
From a technical angle, they
did a good job. Precision of at
tack, unity, clear enunciation,
delicate shading and effective &C
centing reflected credit on Mrs.
Ruby Smith Stahl, the director.
The ensemble tone Of the
chorus was somewhat hard, how
ever, and the mems voices, espe-
cially the tenors, at times were
Of poor quality.
OF numbers which reavealed
the full possibilities of the group,
perhaps the best was light
work, a Dickinson arrangement
of Bring a Torch, Jeanette,

was memorized-a noteworthy
achievement.-G.F.G.
