 The conversation runs something like this:
 First Scout--Great passing uot- fit, sure. Run Q flock of sweeps to pull in the defensive wing half, then heave to the flat. Use spot pass to No 1, too. And No 9 may check instead of blocking and duck for the fiat.
 Second Scout--1t's all Warner offense, isn't is?
 First Scout--Yeah, and it's im- proved Warner at tht. Spinners, double wingbacks, double and triple reverses and cutbacks to the short side of tho line.

Many instances of lack of con-
centration on the part of pupils
is traceable to poor .eyesight, he
said, with serious results in later
years.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 29.-The
law passed at the last session Of
the General Assembly placing
higher taxes on pneumatic-tired
commercial trucks was upheld as
constitutional and valid, in a de-
cision rendered by Judge Eugene
O'Dunne' here yesterday.
In his oral opinion, however,
the judge maintained that the
Foreman Company, which has a
contract to collect city rubbish,
and the Sterrett Operating Ser
vice Company do not come under
the provisions Of tho law, since
they do not haul freight for hire.
The opinion was rendered as
the result Of an injunction suit
brought by the two unaffected
companies and two others, and
asked that the commissioner Of
motor vehicles be restrained from
putting the law into effect. It
was claimed the law was dis
criminatory and unreasonable.
An appeal will be made.
