SEVEN GAMES
/. START YEAR
FORTEAMS
BY GARRETT WATERS

BY GARRETT WATERS
Basketball gets off to a quiet
start among the schoolboys this
week, as only seven games are on
schedule.
However, the season is expected
10 open up in full blast come an
other week, which will find every
scholastic team in the city playing
ut least one game.
Roosevelt, Georgetown Prep and
Tech monopolize the spotlight in
games this week, the Rough Rid
ers being the busiest team, with
three contests.
Begins Wednesday
The schedule actually begins
Wednesday with three engage
ments. Roosevelt entertains the
Kendall School five at Roosevelt
at $3.50 o'clock; Georgetown Prep
plays host to Rockville at Garrett
Park at the same hour, while Tech
opposes the Georgetown Freshmen
at Tech in a 1880 night game,
prior to the varsity Georgetown
Western Maryland clash.
Thursday it's Roosevelt again,
as the Rough Riders have a game
on tap with Mt. Rainier High at
Mt. Rainier, Md. Georgetown
Prep also plays on this day by en-
tertaining the Charlotte Hall five
at Garrett Park, Md. Both Of
these contests will begin at $3.50
o'clock.
The not-to-busy week closes Fri.
day when Roosevelt and Tech fea-
ture the action. The Rough Riders
in this instance will entertain
Emerson Prep at Roosevelt at $3.50
o'clock, while Tech travels to Balti-
more to engage the Baltimore City
College courtmen.
Can Compare Teams
The entire schedule will offer
this fact, if it offers nothing else.
It will bring to attention the prob
able strengths of the teams in
volved, particularly Roosevelt and
Tech, who'll be meeting each other
later on in the season in the an
nual inter-high series race.
The Rough Riders finished just
a few points in front of the last
place Western five in last years
series, while Tech ended it's sched-
ule in third place. Naturally, both
teams will be out to better their
respective positions in the race
this winter, especially Tech. which
hasn't been represented with a
title-winning five for two or three
years.
The several Outside" games will
aid these two combinations in be-
coming "set" for the approaching
series. And from the manner in
which they'll be active this week,
the fact remains both Coaches
Lynn Woodwork and Artie Boyd
have the idea that games, games
and more games, will get their re-
spective teams into the best play
ing attitude.

Dodge announced withdrawal from racing and from association membership last night at the ad- journment of the associations an- nual convention.
 The Big Idea
 Superchargers step up the power and speed of bout withoui increasing the size of the engine Dodge conducted his own fight on the floor for use of these de- vices on gold cup class hydroplane engines in the 1894 race at Lake George, N. Y.
 Two Sides
 Although the gold cup contest board recently recommended use of superchargers for 1894, Presi- dent George H. Townsend of Greenwich, Conn, held that the association coul dnot permit their use because entrants for the 1884 gold cup race already had been filed, and that one of the entrants. Samuel Dunsford of Concord, N. H., had objected. Townsend said they might be approved for use in 1895.
 Townsend was reelected presi- dent for a third term. Leonard Thomson and E. V. Rippingille. both of Detroit, were reelected secretary and "measurer."

Franklin, What Of The Tax?

President Franklin D. Roosevelt will go down in history as the man who gave more impetus to the repeal drive than any other. He actually may not have con- tributed more to the repeal of the 18th amendment than others, but it was during his presidency that the amendment was repealed and prior to his inauguration he had stated that repeal would be one of the first things he would accomplish Now that we have legalized liquor, what are we going to do with it? That is com- mon question. We can't claim to be orig inal in voicing it. But it is just as per- tinert as if it was fresh from our lips.
 There is much discussion today of the prices to be paid by the ultimate con- sumner for his bottle of whiskey or his bottle of wine. There is no tendency in federal circles to interfere with the con- trol acts set up in the several states nor to influence any state one way or the other. We wanted state control of liquor laws and we have it. But Uncle Sam IS vitally interested in the revenue accrulng from liquor manufacture and sales, as are also the states. And therein comes the rub.
 Prices now are ridiculously high when compared to those that existed before pro- hibition took its toll in this nation. Can you imagine any person paying over $3 a quart for bonded whiskey? Today you are asked to pay this price for blended stocks. Wines, domestic and imported, are proportionately higher than they were in 1918-19 We do not conceive how illicit sales can be checked at this rate We must not lose sight of the fact that right now the liquor gallonage levy is $500, whereas after Congress goes to work It IS going to be at the very least half that In the old days it was $1.1O.
 To raise vast sums of money for Uncle Sam the Presidents liquor commission suggested tax of $2.60. That met with opposition. It was dropped to $22O. Now we hear $2.00 tax may be lnstl- tuted. Personally we think that suffi- cient taxes could be raised with the $1.1O levy which existed in prohibition days. Maybe we are wrong, but it is our belief that until taxes are placed at such fig .ure that vast supplies of domestic and imported stocks will be available at req sonable retail prices the bootlegger and Bpeakeasy proprietor are going to con- tinue to deprive Uncle Sam and the state not to mention the city, of it's taxes and the legitimate dealer in liquors of his just profits.

Soon Forgotten

When the Bourbons returned to- power in France after the downfall of Napoleon Bonaparte, it speedily was discovered that they had, in the famous phrase, learned nothing and forgotten nothing" One of the results was that their restoration didn't last. One is reminded of this by some of the antics which certain liquor concerns have indulged in since the 18th amendment was repealed
 For one thing, retail prices charged for hard liquors have been little less than fam tastic. The principle of collecting what the traffic will bear seems to have been fol- lowed over and over again. A nation which can remember when quart of good whiskey could be bought for $1.5O now is discovering that it must pay as high as S5 for the same article. For another thing, the liquor interests seem to be ready to plunge back into politics just as they did before prohibition.
 A fair sample is the experience Ohio has been having. Ohio's legislature was called into special session to consider liquor control laws. The governor sub mitted a plan permitting sales of wine and hard liquor by the glass in hotels, restaurants and clubs, and setting up a state monopoly to handle all retail pack age sales. Instantly the liquor lobby got busy. Parties were thrown for legisla- tors. Pressure was applied The liquor lobby demanded that this bill be thrown overheard and that licenses to retail pack aged liquor be sold to any Tom, Dick and Harry who could raise $25O for the privilege.
 The governor had presented sane and conservative plan by which the profit motive could be removed from the retail liquor trade. The liquor lobby, so recently resurrected, insisted that the old set-up be restored = minus, of course, the open sa- loon - so that the state be dotted with a host of retailers, each urged by His pocket book to sell as much booze as he could each striving to outsell his neighbor. If such tactics are a sample of the way the liquor trade generally is going to act, it is evident that the trade has learned noth- ing by what happened to 1t in 1919.
 Prohibition was adopted largely be- cause the liquor interests had become too arrogant and too active in politics; be- cause they had put the lust for profits ahead of every other consideration. If they revive those old habits, they may tempt great many citizens to recon slider their recent action in repeating the 18th amendment.

 LAST LAUGH
 During the water power con- vention in St Louis, Washington authorities were much puzzled by the reiteration of leaders of the industry that ''the govern ment is sabotaging the MIRA"
 Last week the mystery was solved.
 Floyd B. Carlise, expansive president of the MOrgan-oWned Niagara Hudson Power Co, a giant of the industry, appeared in the Capital with a code contain ing provision that would bar the government from lending money for municipal electric plants. It also barred the gOy- ernment from going into the business itself, as 1t is doing through the Tennessee Valley Authority.
 The restraining clause, neatly lworded, deftly tucked into the code, was elaborately explained by Power Mogul Carlisle. Com petition by public-owned, projects was injuring private plants, he proclaimed, thereby interfering with the Presidents ecovery pro- gram.
 When Carlisle made his "speil' to the president, the latter threw back his head and laughed. The provision would have to be eliiu- mated in toto, Roosevelt sail, before the code would even be scheduled for a bearing.

One of the objections to the Merritt Highway down in Fairfield county now is the fact that Commissioner Macdonald proposes to build four-line road divided by parkway. The County Planning Association and other groups want two- lane road with dividing parkway. Event ually there will be four lanes on each side of the parkway as this is the completed plan of the Merritt Highway. But only half of it is to be built for the present. We certainly think the commissioners idea is sounder. Traffic on this proposed express route is going to be heavy. A 'two-lane road would be inadequate to our way of thinking. If the four lanes are built it will be an easy matter to widen them later by the addition of one lane every few years.

Peiping Letter
BY H. R. EKINS

ASAA14Nt1
 United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Peiping, China (UP)-With the Bible now in the ,best seller" class in China the American Bible society this year is celebrating the tooth anniversary of its work in this country.
 This year alone the society has distributed 61,190 copies of the Bible in China. It is announced that in all the society has dis tributed 2.959,706 volumes of the Scriptures in China.
 According to the records of the society the Bible first was trans lated as whole into Chinese in 1907 by Dr Robert Morrison, the iponeer Protestant missionary worker in China who learned not only to speak Chinese but to rcc and write it despite the impe governments edict against toi A ing the language to foreigners.
 Earlier Translation
 This is, however, historical evil dence that the Nestorians trans lated at least the New Testament into Chinese in the early years of the 17th century. None of this translation has survived. In the 18th century John de Monte Cor vino translated the New .Testa- ment and Psalms into Mongol Again, no copies of this work are extant. The Jesuits in the 16th century translated only parts of the Scriptures.
 Dr Morrison's complete transla- tion of the Bible was not printed for popular distribution until 1924. Meanwhile. in 1922 and after 16 years of mighty labor pr Marshman of the English Baptist mission printed a complete trans lation with the aid of an Armenian born at Macao. Curiously enough pr Marshman's translation of the Bible into Chinese was done in India: The labors of Dr Morrison and Dr Marshman were virtual Implications.
 Classic Literary Style
 The first translations into Chin ese were made in the classic liter ary style, which only the most highly educated could read, Not until 1856 were the Scriptures translated into Mandarin, the col- loquial medium of two-thirds of the Chinese people. Now there are translations in various dialects as well as in Manchu, Mongolian. Tibetan and Annamese. In Pieping the Bible may be obtained in 935 languages or dialects.
 In China the American Bible society has a main office, with 26 employees. In addition there are nine sub-agencies with 39 colpor- teurs, "A correspondents and 7Ss volunteer workers. Tn all 932 per sons are engaged in distributing the Bible in China.
 Tn addition the National Bible Society of Scotland and the Brit ish and Foreign Bible society arc represented in this country. The American organization came .u 1888. the British in 1886 and the Scots in 1863.
 Wherever possible the Bible is | sold in Chinese for nominal price but thousands of free copies have been diseibuted. It is esti- | mated that there are now approx imately 25.0o0.0oo Bibles in China

HISTORY

The story of Joseph Scott's death at the hands of the Indians is more or less tradition. He supposedly lost his life near Waterbury in the vicinity of Reynolds Bridge. At this point in the history of Wa terbury we have mention of the ancient Rock House near the scene of Joseph Scott's supposed death There are three rocks in this vi- cinity, and the Rock House was a boundary line. This ledge has been known in the Reynolds family for a hundred years as the Rock House, and there is also 0 larger ledge of the same nature in the same vicinity.
 Joseph Scott's son John was admitted, as an inhabitant here perhaps about 1709. Subsequently Jonathan Scott was captured by Indians, and Joseph's grave at Scott's mountain has been mistaken for that of his brother Jonathan. Jonathan Scott's capture is said, pretty reliably, to have been July 25, 1710.
