AN EsvABLIsHED PRINCIPLE
 Bridgeport Telegraph

There hnB been s0mo dlBclsslon of tho possibility that tho state might permit tho issuance of bonds by Fairfield county to permit tho building of tho Merritt highway at once, these bonds to be retired out of the proceeds Of tho regular nn- nuaI appropriation by tho state, plus tbo proceeds of tolls on the highway.
 Those who think that the bond ing Droposition would Do contrary to the established procedure Of the state arc mistaken. on me c0n- trary, thnt ig precisely the prhc- tico of tho state in connection With the state aid highway projects ht present.
 When q state aid road Is fo Do built in a town Nho project iB iirBt BurVeyof and approved by tho bthte highway commissioner. The town then prepares to furnish the money and tho road is built under ho hu- provision of tho highway depnrt- ment. Since few towns have chbh available in sufficient quantities for such projects, tho general practice ig to issue bonds. Each year there" after tho stnte pays Go tho town h sum equivalent to tho towns share of that years state hid highway np- proprlntiOn, and this sum iB used 10 moot principal md intorost on tho bonds until tho Btate'B Anre (which may amount Co 7b per cent of tho wh0le) hns been met The town pays tho balance.
 Tho principle usod.~-t hat Of building highway project hs one piece, out of tho proceeds of a bond issu0 and th0n reImbursIng tho town by tho regular annual high. way appropriations that would como Co that c0mmunity normally ---could Dc applied quito nB proper Ik to tho Merritt highway hs to the smaller projects confined within tho borders of one particular town. Added to tho annual approprln- tons, of course, would Do tho pros ceods from tolls, and We sec no r6as0n why tho users of such q highway should not pay tolls until nIl money borrowed for the project had been repaid.
 There is no member of tho jogls- Iaturo who is not familiar with this process, as applied to the af- fairs of his own town, There should Do no difficulty in bringing about | the extenm0n of the same principle to the building of a major project Such ns the Merritt highway, egpe. clnlly In view of the effect upon ufi- ] employment, and tho possibility oi the states getting lower prices at this time or real estate, materials and labor,

 Washlngton-Pres Hoover's early plans for life as m ex-preS- ident are now fairly well worked out and 1t Is understood that he doesn't intend to make any speech es, publish any writings or accept any job until at least nine months after he leaves tho White House.
 Nevertheless, the impression has grown steadily that MT Hoover has no idea of renouncing politics for all time and that he expects to continue ns lender of his party. Republicans who don't want him to continue in control have thus far failed to get together and do some- thing about 1t and there is no as- surance of definite capitalization of the anti Hoover sentiment even after March fourth. Many rec publicans, after tho manner of Hover himself, prefer to wait awhile and see what happens to the democrats before making any drastic reorganization.
 The understanding that the pres ident will tnke Secretary of the Tronsury ogden Mills along with him if he returns to California by boat through the Panama Canal, with n few days off for fishing en route, is taken to indicate that Mills--.n political power in New York stnte and often suggested as tho E. O. D. 103G presidential cans didnto--ig not likely to participate in any enrly movement within the pnrty which would conflict with HooVers desires, such as the 0ust- ing of National Chairman Everett Sanders.
 Meanwhile there is great interest in tho likelihood that Hoover will mnke n political speech to repub- iicnnB sometime before inaugura- ton day.
 Whether Hoover returns to Cali fornia through tho canal or by train, he and Mrs IIoovar are ro- p0rt6d both confirmed in thoir in- tention tO Bnii through tho South Sens and perhaps around tho world later this year.

Spring was in the air today.
 Sweet spring, Warm sunbeams danced along the way,
 Sweet spring. It seemed robin must appear. To deck the landscape there and here, And sort of chant a note of cheer,

 Sweet spring, In fact, there was an azure tint.

fifteenth of this month, one of
the real sports gatherings yearly
staged in this mans town.
More good football yarns and
anecdotes come out Of this ses-
sion than any conclave this
side of the annual rules COM
mittee and for once in the sea-
son the coaches get a chance to
tell the officials what they
think of them without losing
yardage for their teams.
Congratulations to George B.
Christian, jr., former secretary
to President Harding. a base
ball fan extraordinary, who has
joined the Distillers and Brew
ers' Corporation of America.
Christian is one of the best
posted baseball addicts to ever
go in the White House, or come
out of it either, and can dis
cuss the game with the famili.
arity and expertness of one who
might have been a part of the
sport.
George has a new-fangled box
score which he has been trying
to get some newspaper to adopt,
it giving the reader much more
detail of the game than the
style commonly used and there
fore being impractical from
typing standpoint. But he'll
get it over, yet!
And if my colleagues in New
York keep on plugging Colum-
bia as an opponent for Stanford
in the Rose Bowl game New
Year Day, they are going to get
a nice trip to California for
themselves.

orary referee, the proceeds of the
match, which is being sponsored
by the Florida year-round clubs,
were to go to the American Red
Cross.
Heavy FavOrite
Shute was the heavy favorite
to win the 72-hole match play
test, his chances being favored
by the pick of the country's ex-
perts gathered here for the Miami
Biltmore $4,000 open next week.
He bolstered their confidence by
shooting 68 in a charity exhibi-
ton match over the same battle
field Thanksgiving Day.
Goodman, on arriving from
Omaha, played a practice round
with Sarazen, who rated Bobby
Jones' conqueror in 1929 close to
the form Goodman showed in de-
throning Sarazen as open cham
pion last summer.

about her ability to cope with

tine Mosier, of st. Louis, Mo-,
can duplicate quite a few of Miss
Didrikson's feats and probably
excel her in others, being an &C

ball star, swimmer, dancer and
bowler.
It's the pin game in which she
shines brightest, however, and the
S'Sunshine Special" as she is
known at home is going to roll
at Lucky Strike tonight at 8
O'Clock against Howard Campbell.
They will each roll three games OF
duckpins and three of ten pins.
Miss Mosier who is visiting
friends in town is most anxious to
meet Washington's feminine stars
but it was thought best to have
her face a man since none of the
ladies could give her any sort OF a
battle in ten pins in which she
shines.
Ten Pin Champ
She is the champion lady ten
pin bowler of the West and is the
star of the crack Missouri Pacific
railroad team which has caused
her rivals to speak of her as the
locomotive sensation. especially
when they see that fast ball of
hers whizzing down the alley.

championship for woinan's doubles

won the championship of st. Louis

preached it many times and re-
Gently turned in a 252. Her COM
b1ned league averages are 178.
She had never attempted to
shoot duckpins until she dropped

GULL Rolls 141
Lorraine Gull showed her a
little about the game, getting a
141 herself, while Miss MoSier shot
a flat 80. Her third game was a
flat IS and her fourth game was
95. She said she was disgusted
at her consistently rotten shoot
ing"
Campbell, who has not rolled
tenpins for five years, promised
to do his best for his boss, Bill
Wood, and has offered to get a
pair of bowling shoes for Miss
Mosier, the lack of which handi-
capped her last night. Bill Wood
has promised to take her to his
supply house today and let her
pick out the kind of a ball she
likes best.
Many of the lady bowlers and
men who have seen but little of
tenpins. expressed interest in the
match and said they would be on
hand tonight.

New York, Dec. 2.-Except for
a few scattered post-season games,
the football season will end today.

Tulane and Louisiana will wage
a great battle at New Orleans
