"Steve, what do you think
about it all? I've been mostly
in the big cities-Mukden and
Tientsin. Nobody knows the
condition of the country better
than you. What is going to
happen? Laying aside their
antiforeign talk, will this new
movement among the students
make things better?"
WELL" said Stephen, the
war-lords are pretty bad, and
yet-it's strange-those fellows
spring from the people, they
seem to have an uncanny in
stinct that tells them just when
to stop in their taxation.
Haven't you found it so? They
tax heavily, but they manage
to leave just enough so that
the community in time recu-
perates. Never quite kill the
goose that lays their golden
egg."
"Do you mean the New Order
will?"
Might" Stephen answered.
"'They're faced with a ire
mendous temptation. Many of
them have been in America, or
England, for years, and they've
learned a new way Of living.
They want the comforts Of the
West, and they're impatient to
make their country as powerful
as the countries they've lived
in. To do it, they may bleed
the people worse than the war
lords. Not necessarily because
they will mean to, but because
they aren't close to the people"
"Well, even So" said Ken
dali, IF they do away with
squeeze Those of the New
Order talk of patriotism as a
religion. Higher taxes, but less
squeeze. B etter government,
more business. Isn't that all
right?"
Hester felt uneasy as Kendall
continued to probe into Ste
phen's views. For some reason
she could not explain to her
self, she wished tephen
wouldn't talk so freely. But he
was expansive tonight in his
pleasure over this companion
ship with his old friend.
Just then the whistle Of a
steamer struck across the heated
air.
I'VE must be off," said Look.
'That's our boat"
"Wait a moment. There's
time for a last drink together"
urged their host. mo telling
what will happen before we see
one another again. Here's luck!"
AS the mems steps died away
on the stairs, Stephen turned
eagerly to Hester. Kendall has
just been down to Shanghai,
and Truesdale told him that
when the assistant managers
are retired, we are to be put in
their places"
stephen" cried Hester, well
be safe!"
In a moment everything was
transformed for her. The door
Of her cage was open. Escape
from this British concession in
which the hong was situated!
Escape from this town that
seemed more Of a fortress than
q town to her! What was she
doing here? All her own world
lost to her. She was SO. Soon

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January l2.-Brisk sell
ing based on fear regarding United

prices down quick in early trading
today. Preceding setbacks Of securi-
ties at New York were sharply
watched. Opening xaA lower. May,

Corn started AaA of, May, 88Z4a3s
and then dropped further.
More than q cent bushel was cut

yesterdays losses. Houses with East

each of the two leading grains as
prices tumbled. Chicago professional
traders were more conspicuous in let

Buying on resting and scale orders
came into play later. and served for
at least the time being to check fur

Forecasts of a severe cold wave
likely to overspread the domestic grain
belt had some effect as a curb on
sellers. Ensuing price rallies, how
ever, appeared to lack vigor. Some
notice was taken of announcement
that the French government had au-

committee meeting is the one which provides that the ball be brought in ten yards from the sideline after it has been kicked or carried out of bounds. The pros have found that their practice of bringing the ball in an additional five yards permits greater freedom of action and have convinced many of the coaches that the ball should be brought in b yards if it is to fully accomplish the purpose of the rule.
 College football coaches are giv- ing plenty of attention and study to the pro game and the manner in which the pros are working out their problems. And wisely so, for the av- craze pro football player boasts at least 10 years of active experience in the game That's why, in many cases the pro rules are more prac- tical and often less confusing.

OLDTIME PIN
 STARS DEFEAT
 UPSTART GANG

The Old Timers displayed brand of bowling beyond the pest efforts of the Upstarts in the special play off series at the Elks Alleys last night. The veterans won three straight games by comfortable mar gins. The Upstarts, composed of J. E. Barragar, Jr., R. H. Stevenson, Nick Bavard, A. w. Henning, and Fred Barragar, and the Old Timers, Fred Henning, A. w Stewart, Frank Metcalf, Ed Radde and Martin Law enk, were chosen from the ten best bowlers in the Elks Conference tournament.
 R. H. Stevenson of the Upstarts bowled the best three-gsme total, 61, but Fred Henning and Frank Mctcalf, both of the Old Timers, placed first and second 1T the game scoring with 226 and 223 respective ly. The Old Timers achieved a team total of 2,84S. 1e3 points better than their opponents.

SPORT SLANTS

When the football rules commit tee meets in February it very likely will be confronted with an organ ized lobby demanding that the goal posts be restored to the goal line. The field goal has become rarity since the posts were set back 10 yards to prevent serious accidents to backs plunging over the goal line for touchdowns. Many coaches and football enthusiasts miss the thrill of this valuable scoring weapon and want to see the place and drop kick restored to it's proper place on the gridiron.
 Professional football players have suffered no injuries of importance despite the fact they have kept the goal posts on the goal line. Field goals figure prominently in their scoring and that feature of the game is one reason why the pro game has enjoyed such a profitable season. There are plenty of fine place kick CTS in the pro ranks today, the out standing trio being Jack Manders, of the Chicago Bears, Ken Strong, of the New York Giants, and Ray Kercheval of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Foot Is MinimizeG
 It seems odd that in the game nf O O has been to minimize the import ance of kicking. The rules have been amended to promote passing, the purpose of which was to open up the game. That's well and good but only up to the point where that phase of the game is stressed at the expense of kicking.
 How many times have you seen a college team resort to wild, desper- ate-and futile-passes when their running attack stalled inside the 15- or 20-yard line? They feel forced to gamble with wild passes where the defense has frightened up, whereas they would increase their chances for a score by 50 percent if they had proficient kicker The additional 10 yards the ball must carry under i the present collegiate rules has dou- bled the chances of kicks going off i line or short, and consequently few l field goals are attempted.
 kicker like Monk" MoScrip, Stanford's versatile end, is a rarity in this day. And yet without the help of Moscrip's educated toe it is ex- tremely doubtful if the Stanford Indians would be prepared for their third successive Rose Bowl engage ment.
 Other Toes Save Games Ken Sanbach, of Princeton, is another handy man to have around when three points are needed. He was deadly with his kicking of the points-after- touchdown all season. And against l ale he proved he was just as accurate from the 15-yard i, line. Actually, his field goal in that game had to carry over 25 yards. Marty Peters, of Notre Dame, came in mighty handy when his field goal gave Elmer Layden's team a victory over the Pitt Partners.

Also sought by the real estate rep
resentatives was ALLEGATION of
6,5OO,OOo of gasoline tax for road
bond payments.
The commission acted quickly aft
er it had been told that Gov. McNutt
was seeking means of increasing the
general fund by $500, 900, without
increasing the governmental ex-
penditures over the sum spent last
year.
Mr.. Jackson informed the argu-
ing delegates that the problem was
one of allocation-not question OF
new taxes or increased existing
levies.
The problem before the commits
sion was double-edged. If they rec
commended a further lowering OF
the taxing power of the local gov
ernmental units, the tax revenues
of these units would be so reduced
that Gov. McNutt could not recon-
mend a reduction of the states eX-
penseS by diminishing the proper
ton of revenues collected by the
state and shared with the counties.

CURB ON LOCAL
TAX UNIT URGED
BY COMMISSION
Fails to Reach Agreement
on Program for State
Reforms.

After approving the pattern of
fiscal strait jacket for Indiana's local
taxing units which can be cast off
only by approval of the voters at the
polls. Gov. Paul v. McNutt's Com
mission on Tax Revision recessed on
the eve Of the converting Of the 18th
General Assembly without reaching
an agreement on important state
financing measures.
The commission will reassemble
Friday, when, it is expected, state
fiscal experts will lay before the
members a complete picture of the
budget balancing problem.
Recommendations on gross income
and personal income tax rates and
consideration of a per cent sales
tax were deferred when Clarence
A. Jackson, head of the Gross In
come Tax Division, disclosed that
Gov. McNutt believes the states
financial needs can be met without
levying new or higher taxes.
BY an 11-8 vote, the revisionists
determined to recommend that the
power Of county tax adjustment
boards to allow tax levies in excess
Of the ST and $3.50 limits set for
rural and urban units by certify
ing emergencies be discontinued,
and that excess Ievies be allowed
only after the people of the terri
tory affected have voted in approval.
Also recommended is a proposal
that issuance of bonds for public
purposes be stopped for a two-year
period, unless their issuance has
been authorized by an election
called for that purpose.
The commissions action came at
the end of an all-day Wrangle dur
ing which representative of real
estate organizations sought to per-
suade the conference to adopt their
recommendations for slashing So
100000 from the states school eX-
penses, levying a 3 per cent sales or
excise tax to yield $24,850,000; a l
per cent levy on all personal in
comes in excess of $1,000 and a 10
per cent amusement tax which
