 The International Basketball Federation established the limit yes- terday, aiming to even up the size of the teams and make competition moro even. pr. James Naismith of tho United States, who originated basketball at Springfield, Mass, thought the federation might have established an even lower maximum height. The first suggestion was for q height limit of 6 feet 0 inches but 1t gradually increased to one meter and 90 centimeters--approxi- mately c feet 3.

I'M TELLIN' YUH.
BROTHER!
By I'm

If had my life to live over again,
methinks | would plant myself in
small town and stay put. It's a great
feelin' to know that wherever you
turn you see a friend who calls you
by your first name. Looking at
strange mugs doesn't appeal to me.
Only a few days ago l was per-
suaded to take part in a small town
celebration and as sat around look
ing over the flock of males and fe-
males the thought occurred to me
that the guys who live in the smoke
stack towns were missing the most
important thing in life-happiness.
About three hundred neighbors
gathered at this party and every
body knew everybody else. They
danced, played bingo and passed the
bottle. OF course, not all of 'em wet
their tonsils on these occasions, but
those who did were not criticized by
those who didn't, which made every
thing jake. They're like that
AS was saying, they danced. I
had never seen a square dance be-
fore, and you can take it from me,
it was a treat The gals and boys
just get together and whoop it up,
and before the dance is over, you
have danced with your neighbor, her
daughters, cousins and mother It's
big family affair, and during the
evening, they'll talk about the new
baby that arrived several days ago
down on the old Skeezik farm, crops,
hunting and Farmer Jones' mare that
broke leg and had to be destroyed
Another thing about these COM
munity affairs that impressed me is
that you are privileged to chew to-
bacco if you want to, and if your
taste runs to chewing gum, you can

when you're finished with it, just
toss it over in the corner. Nobody
gives you dirty look.
My idea of a sensation would be
a sap walking into one of these par
ties dressed in a tuxedo.
The most important man at a
square dance is the fellow who calls
Figures" He is really the head man.
Give him the choice between being a
figure caller and the mayor, and
he'll draw the former assignment
without batting an eye.
These valuations have nothing on
the fiddlers as far as time is con-
cerned. The boys play long and loud
and time really means nothing in
their lives. Early in the morning
you'll find them going as strong as
ever, with only nip now and then
