Shires in Good Shape
 For Season
Great One Claims His Physical Condition i.
 Is Best Ever

BOSTON, Jan. 18.-Art Shires may have become zephyr of his former self as far as air goes, but he is far from being such in poundage. Ant the Great, who used to spend part of his time taking a punch at someone, and the other part telling how good he was, has ceased doing both, but in the meantime has been putting on a lot of weight that makes him broth of a lad
 While expert opinion seems to be that Shires will not be playing first base for the Braves next season. Art plans t ogo south with the club, and reports himself nj fine shape physically.
 He weighs 2o6 pounds, and says he is as hard as nails. The knee that gave him so much trouble last season and forced him into voluntary retirement is reported as sound as ever, the operation being a success. Shires feels that he will be able to hit up around the top again, now that his knee will permit him to swing as he did before the injury.

CANYON, Tex, Jan. IS. = The "tallest basketball team in America the giant Buffaloes of West Tex as State Teachers College-is tall CT than ever this year.
 From last years regulars the Buffalos have lost only their for mer captain, Bob Clark, the short est man in the starting lineup. Meanwhile lanky reserves and the freshmen ranging ranging from one to five inches above the six foot mark have become contenders for the varsity squad.

 Average Lineup
 The years starting lineup aver ages 6 feet Az inches in height, led by Joe College" Fortenberry, center and captain. who stretches the tapeline to 6 feet 2.
 The starting forwards, Conner end Colvin, are five and five and one-half inches respectively, above six feet. Of the guards, Stroud is feet and Richards feet l inch. Two other letter men, Mor- ris and Monroe, and several re- serves are taller than Richards.

 Ray Daughters, swimming coach of the Washington Athletic Club, who made champion of cham pions out of Helene, has raised the hopes of aquatic followers with the announcement that he will have two new water aces ready to go after 1883 national titles.
 Miss Olive McKean and Jack Medica, former teammates of Miss Madison, have been groomed to carry on where the Olympic titlist left off. Helene didn't leave much. annexing all of the worlds free style records and more than half a-hundred American marks, but Daughters believes Miss McKean will be sensation.

NO RIFT THEAD

laKe IL rom Jess Harper, Ql- rector of athletics at Notre Dame, if any further word on the sub ject is necessary, there is not the slightest prospect of a rift in the football relation between Army and Notre Dame.
 The reports of unnecessary roughness that somehow were cir culated after the 1892 game in New York were not based on facts. Harper told me, in emphasizing that at no time has there been any break in cordiality of relations between these celebrated rivals of the gridiron.
 Naturally, some of the Army supporters did not relish the lick ing they took from Notre Dame last season But who does, Harper asks, pointing out that Notre Dame didn't quite like the pasting it took from the soldiers in 1881.
 We just happened to get every thing working against Army this time," Harper said T don't think any team in the country could have stopped us that day. I am sorry to say we weren't that good all season long. But we have no squawks over the defeats Pitts burgh and Southern California handed us.
 Probably it is god for us, and good for football in the long run, not to have these ideas of any, bodys invincibly grow"

Simonds' Sophistry in
Regard to British Debt

To the Editor of The Star:
A rare piece of sophistry is the plea
presented by Frank H. simonds In The
star, page 1, Special Articles, i" March -.
Mr.. Simonds argues that as the
British did not receive cash delivered
IN the British Isles, but used 1t in this
country to purchase goods they needed
they should be allowed to pay in goods
and not In cash. The clear inference
is that If We had shipped the money
to England SO that it might have been
shipped back to US after the goods
were purchased the case would have
been different and then they would
owe us the cash.
II I should borrow money In Chicago,
and at the same time request the pur-
chase and shipment to me in WASH
ington Of merchandise I need, then I
would not owe money, but could pay
my debt with goods I sell here.
Mr.. Simonds made his explanation
In reply to criticisms he says he has
received of his testimony before the
Senate Committee on Finance Please
ask him to try again.

Sunday Evening
Fireside Talks
To the Editor Of The Star.

To the Editor OF The Star:
The President of the United States
has established the precedent of talking
to his people on two successive Sunday
evenings from his home, the White
House, in Washington. These friendly
talks are cementing the confidence and
stimulating the courage Of the Ameri-
can people.
What respect he creates! Like the
father who takes his son on his knee
and explains things to him has our
President explained the banking situa-
tion. Then this same father on an
other occasion might. because of his
deeper understanding, have explained
to his son why he should do as his
father says instead of following his own
emotion. The father explains the value
and need Of sacrifice 30 did our Pres
ident talk to the members of the Amer
ican foreign legion last Sunday evening.
These two weekly talks show US how
our President sacrifices for U.S. After a
busy week of almost 1ncessant confer
ences and firing work planning procla-
nations, bills and messages. President
Roosevelt still has time to address his
people The American people should be
truly grateful and should give their
whole-hearted effort in making these
projects work
The President can draw out our re-
spect, can enforce ot:r laws, and stimu-
late our ideals, but In the last analysis
the American people can only show
their devotion to their country by doing
their daily part. o. E. FANG.

The Girl Scouts.

1t seems only yesterday that the Girl
Scouts organization was established,
but actually it was twenty-one years
ago. Incredible as 1t may appear, this
league of vibrant feminine youth is cele-
brating its coming of age. The fact
signifies that whole generation of
young women have grown up under the
protection and stimulation of the Scout
ideal. That is thing about which the
girls themselves and all their friends
may rejoice. Scouting for the daugh-
ters of America, like Scouting for the
sons, is a constructive value whose i'm
portance cannot be overestimated.
A Girl Scout pledges adherence to
code of conduct based on honor, 10y
atty, helpfulness, cheerfulness and
cleanliness of thought, word and deed
Working and playing together, the CO.
operative spirit keeps the troop faithful
to its principles. Possibly that is the
secret of the organizations success. The
girls aid each other in cultivating a
habit of mind which easily becomes q
habit of action. Their watchword
shared with their brothers, is: BE pre-
pared" BY that they mean: BE ready
for service" In a world like our own,
what higher social motive can there
be?
1t has been noted that every great
human institution is the heightened
shadow of great personality. The
rule applies in the case Of the Girl
Scouts as 1t does elsewhere. It follows
that no proper celebration Of the pres
ent anniversary can omit mention Of

Tax on Bank Checks
Has Curtailed Deposits
IN the Editor RI The Star.

To the Editor Ct The Star:
have seen no mention OF the tax
on bank checks as contributory to the
present banking situation. While not
Of major importance, it nevertheless
has had a definite part In bringing
about our troubles.
While its returns to the Government
have been disappointing In volume, tts
cost to the banks has been out Of pro-
portion, and the low returns are evi-
dence that the use of checks has been
restricted thus causing q greater de-
mand for currency for business trans
actions formerly accomplished by
transfer Of credits by checks and in
retaining from deposits currency re-
days or other periods Of settlement.
This may seem far-fetched, but
within the range Of my acquaintance
several hundred dollars are being car
ried for use (not boarded in any sense
Of the word) where formerly perhaps
q quarter Of this amount would be In
pocketbooks and bank checks relied
upon to effect settlements involving the
other seventy -five per cent.
I believe the repeal Of the tax on
bank checks would more than CON-
pensate for the very small loss In taxes
realized therefrom by restoring TO bank
deposits the sums now carried for
household expenses. etc. and by re-
lieving the banks of the cost ef col
