NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Jan. H.-F'red A. oPop1 Hart, whose hobby for 20 years has been the task of keeping detailed records of every Rutgers football game, has devised a system of charting bas- ketball contests that has been ac- claimed by every coach who has seen it.
 It is a simple method, according to the 82-year -old Rutgers statisti- clan, holding up sheet of paper All that is necessary is a short pencil with red lead at one end and blue at the other and know ledge of ten symbols.
 Frank Hill, veteran coach of Scarlet basketball, asked Pop to devise the chart two years ago so that he might, after a game, see what each man was doing at any given time.

week had gone by since Nate
Tichenor and his men had opened the
nood-gates up in the Handle and as
yet Babson had not been able to Sc
cure legal relief. Upon his return to
Gold Run, therefore, he called upon
the sheriff Of the county and requested
that official to take half a dozen of his
deputies and guard the employees of
the Forlorn Valley Irrigation district
against attack by Nathan Tichenor ct
al. when the former closed the food
gates In defiance OF Tichenor's die
tum. In the interest of peace the
sheriff consented and the following
day the gates were closed without in
reference from Nate Tichenor and his
men. Indeed, not one of them ap-
peared to protest the closing of the
gates.
The next morning Nate Tichenor
dropped in at the Bank of Valley Cen
ter and said to Babson:
II merely dropped in to tell you, Bah
son, that while you were scurrying
around a whole week seeking an in
junction against my wife and me you
couldn't get, our lands had q grand
soaking from that weeks overflow.
We would have liked another week Of

and his deputies around concluded It
was the part Of wisdom to be salts
fed with the water we had already
received. But as summer advances I
warn you Wen have to have our legal
share Of that water and IL we do not
get it I'm going to put a couple Of
hundred pounds Of dynamite under
that concrete diversion dam of yours
and blow it out"
IF you do you'll go to the pen."

Make Their Own Scars

Anything in the nature Of a scar
is viewed as a distinct blemish In
Europe, but African girls make a pa
rade of these scars as tokens of love
illness. To obtain the desired effect,
they slash their faces with sharp
shells and rub black paint into the
wounds. When these self-infiicted in
Juries heal, they leave a beautifully
raised mark.-Pearson's Weekly.

Diamond Bearing O,triehs.

Not long ago a law was passed In
South Africa prohibiting the shooting
OF ostriches In the diamond fields Of

that were sometimes found in their
stomachs. One bird had seventy-one,
one of which weighed more than seven
carats.-Collier's Weekly.

OUTBREAK HOG CHOLERA
in WORCESTER COUNTY

A number of new outbreaks of hog
cholera have been reported in the vi.
cinity of Newark, Pocomoke, Ocear
City and Cedartown. This outbreak
can be promptly halted if individual
growers will take steps by promptly
reporting sick hogs to the County
Agents office so that an investi-
cation can be made, by isolation of
infected animals so that they do not
come in contact with neighbors unin-
fected animals, by promptly buying
animals which may die and cleaning
up prmises where animals have had
the disease.
With the increased price of hogs
and other meat hog growers should
take all the precautions possible in
preventing the spread of hog cholera

CITY. COUNCIL Is
MAKING REPAIRS
ON THE STREETS
Changes Made To Prevent Ov-
erflOw On Clarke Avenue.
Sewers Also Enlarged

The town authorities are busy max
ing some much needed improvements
to the streets. Notably among these
is on Clarke Avenue and extending
around into Linden Avenue.
This consists in laying large sew
er piping to carry off surplus water,
which overflows into the highways,
floods cellars, and does much DAM
age whenever an unusual downfall of
rain occurs. The old sewer pipes
were not large enough to take care
of the surplus and were combined
re-laying of the street bed in the
source of trouble.
Another improvement will be a
square between Market and Vine on
Clarke Avenue. This portion of Po-
comoke streets is badly broken up,
due to it's location in the heart of
traffic. In it's repair this fact should
be considered and efforts should be
made to increase it's resistance to the
wear dIlQ CC1I W WIllNAl ~ ID ouOJONOSO'
The City Council has also decided to
place one of the lights in that square
similar to those on Market Street.
Hundreds of Pocomoke's shopping
population use that section, and as
one turns into it from Market the
prospect is exceedingly dark. No
doubt this addition to the lighting
system will be greatly appreciated by
all those who frequent the square.
Market Street is now open to traf-
fic, and the approach to the city is
improved one hundred per cent by
the added width, the ornamental light
ing, and the decrease in wiring and
poles. Completion of the work in
front of the residences will soon come
about, and when done will give POGO
moke one of the finest main thor
oughfares of any in the State.

Well, there is another game going
on in these parts that's just about as
true a game of Touchdown and drag
out as that one which will be put
on the diamond today in Detroit-the
game of politics. You know, it takes
lot of head work and hand work, too,
to score the most votes in this sport
of ballots. Pm not saying what that
"hand work" is, somebody might con-
strue it as "hand-out" to some of
these modest souls who hesitate to
approach the ballot box without first
being stimulated. No, Sir, I don't
mean anything like that. It's shame
and scandal to insinuate anything
of the sort. Why, they all say, 81
never sold my vote in my life; I'm
poor; there isn't enough Doodle in the
world to tempt me along that line,
but UNI" the balance trails of finto
a whisper, and I never did know just
what followed that "but." That,
suppose, was some of the secrets OF
the lodge. I might have been mean
enough to saunter near enough to
catch a breeze or so, but I didn't and
l suppose, "When ignorance is bliss
tits folly to be WISE"
But, as my old friend and pal, In
gals Melvin, used to say, at won't
be long now!" And, you know, the
nearer the election day gets, the more
flabbergasted I get, if you know what
that means. Why, every mothers
son of those candidates say they are
going to be Embellishments, Re-
publicans, Independents, and all. Just
what we are going to do with 'em, af-
ter they are returned with majorities
is more than I can say, and that's
what causes flabbergastation. I reck-
on We'll all survive it tho, and af-
ter November 6, the Depression will
take wings to itself and fly away.
