 CHAMPAIGN, Ill, Feb. 6.-Ir basketball coaching my basic idea is to strive to use the system oi offense and defense best adapted tc the ability of the best five players on the squad.
 At present, because Illinois hap pens to have more speed than has been the case in number of years we are swinging more to a fast break. Since we have two good offensive rebound retrievers, we arc willing to take more long shots than would have been wise ir former yeer5.
 Defines Fast Break"
 Many people think the fast break is a gallop down the floor. In real ity the fast break is an effort to get one man loose, or two men on one, or three men on two When there is an equal number of de- fensive men guarding the offense, it is always a slow break, even if the attacking team does go down the floor with speed
 When teams have slow material, they use more definitely organ ized slow break offense. We use the slow break when we are forced into it but then our organization cannot be as good because we are con-

Despite the efforts of the ultra
party organs to make it otherwise,
there is at least one question that
both President Roosevelt and Cover
nor Landon are agreed upon, and
that is that drought should remain
non-political issue. And the confer
ence in Iowa, where the President
and the Governor met with other
Chief Executives of States resulted in
a profitable exchange of views where
in politics had no part.
The President declared that the
human misery involved in drought
was not subject to be brought into
political discussion. Governor Lam
don affirmed similar position, stat
ing that drought is an emergency
standing above partisan considera-
lions.

in Maryland in 1885 than in 1880,
Frederick County leading all others

A total of "A, 412 farms were oper-

"GOTT NIT UNS"

In Germany this week large sec
ton of the German Evangelical
Church held its breath, not knowing
what to expect as result of the
boldness it displayed the Sunday be-
fore last At that time, pastors in
the faith daringly stood up in their
pulpits and hurled defiance in the
teeth of the Hitler regime.
The defiance was in the form of
an open manifesto, a religious
declaration of war, addressed to
Evangelical Christianity and to high
government officials in Berlin. Mine
ing no words, it called upon Realm
leader Adolf Hitler to put a stop to
Nazidom's anti-church program and
to the neo-pagan philosophy of DR..
Alfred Rosenberg, cultural director
of National Socialism.
For the world at large, the mani
festo brought into clearer light than
ever before the long-smoldering re-
bellious attitude of German clergy
men toward the repressive tactics of
the Third Reich. By it's words, it
marked the beginning of new fight
to force Chancellor Hitler to take
regimenting hands off the House of
God.
In another sense, the manifesto
meant that German Evangelical min
listers had reached a point where
they considered the religious situa-
ton so perilous that their own per-
sonal safety no longer mattered.
Plainly enough, they voiced a will
lingness to endure the punishment of
a concentration camp as price for
liberty of conscience. "Gott NIT
uns," they said in so many words
"God with US, if not the govern
ment."
Because it expressed opposition in
such blunt and fearless terms, the
manifesto was Immediately likened
to the famous 95 theses nailed by
Martin Luther more than 400 years
ago to a church door in Wittenberg.
Luthers action, however, took place
in a Germany of different character,
and it is problematical whether this
new historic document will lead to
reform or to Imprisonment. Here
tofore the Third Reich mas ignored
all such protests with typical Nazi
scorn. What it will do this time
still remains to be seen. Certainly,
the manifesto is couched in words
unequivocal enough to bring either
of two things to it's authors: victory
or the Nazi jailer.-The Pathfinder.

TEACHING SAFE DRIVING in
SCHOOL

The plan that has been adopted in
Indiana and some other States that
teaches safe driving in high schools
may prove an important step in pro-
noting the cause of motor accident
prevention. The lessons constitute
regular course in the fundamentals
of right driving and are Incorporated
with the health education division OF
teaching.
While it cannot be expected that
such courses would bring about any
miraculous changes in driving habits,
they cannot but help to have their
effect upon those who are willing to
do their part in promoting safety.
The real fault in reckless driving lies
with the Individual character of the
operator, but many who might other
wise be careless unthinkingly or un-
knowingly will be impressed by the
instruction they receive.
The lessons will be carried to the
young people rlSHC DIT Tic tAAuo "hon
they are first entrusted with the
operation of an automobile and
should be well worth the time and
effort expended on the part OF in
structors. The effectiveness will lie
in how seriously and conscientiously
the instruction is given. II nothing
more is accomplished than the mere
stressing of the safety thought SO
that it will stick in the minds OF the
majority, an important work will
have been done. The drive for safe
driving must be brought forward on
all fronts tor the situation is becom-
ing more serious each year.

BANK GROUPS MAKE
NATIONWIDE SURVEY
American and State Banking
Associations Collaborate
in Investigation
LOAN SERVICES STUDIED
Activities of the Government in
the Banking Field Are
Reviewed and Position of
Banks Analysed

NEW YORK. Detailed '3ank re-
searches, covering all phases of prac-
teal operating and economic facts and
conditions related to banking, are be-
ing made by the American Bankers
Association. The resulting material is
being placed at the disposal of all
state banking associations, which in
many instances are extending the re-
searches of the national association in
their own states. These activities are
said to be part Of the general pro-
gram of banking development which
is being carried on by the organized
banking business.
Among the most extensive re-
searches being conducted by the
American Bankers Association is
that of it's Committee on Banking
Studies, which is making a detailed
survey of Federal Government lend
ing agencies and policies. The basic
material, which is kept up to date by
continuing studies, shows where the
Government agencies get the money
they lend, what liability the Govern
ment assumes, what subsidy it ex-
tends, what return it gets, for what
and to whom the money goes and on
what terms it is loaned.
The Government in Banking
'It is not the intention of the COM
mittee to express its viewpoint about
any agency" says the foreword to this
material. ats intention is only to de-
termine the facts. These facts prop
erly assembled and presented should
help banks to meet Government COM
petition if and where it exists The
committee believes the Government
entered the lending field at critical
period in order to aid banks and
financial institutions If the time has
come for the Government to with
draw, it is the duty of bankers to
demonstrate their readiness to take
care of all sound credit needs"
It adds that the banks must be
equipped with full factual material
as to the Governments emergency
lending activities and practices, and
that full cooperation has been given
the committee by Government agen-
cies in obtaining facts. Binders of the
material gathered have been placed
by the committee in the hands of
state associations.

SAFETY OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

SAFETY OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
With the opening of schools for
the Fall term, motorists are urged
by the keystone Automobile Club of
Maryland to give their fullest CO.
operation to the movement fostered
by the Club for the protection of
school children.
Edward P. Curran, Safety Director
of the Club, points out that many
dangers confront children returning
to school after the summer vacation,
and emphasizes the responsibility of
motorists in safeguarding the lives of
pupils.
"a factor having important bear
ing on the problem of child safety, "
he said, sis the appearance on the
streets of thousands of youngsters at
tending school for the first time.
These children have not had the
benefit of safety instruction in the
classrooms, and in their behalf we
appeal particularly to motorists. To
a very great extent, the safety of
first-year pupils will depend upon
the care with which motor vehicles
are operated, not only in the vicinity
of schools, but on all streets where
children are walking on their way to
and from their classrooms.
"All drivers are strongly urged to
use the utmost caution where chill
dren are crossing streets. No one
can fortell when a child is going to
rush forward from group into the
path of moving vehicles. Because
of this uncertainty the duty devolves
upon the motorist to have his car
under such control that he can stop
at a moments notice. Safe drivers
never take chances where children
are concerned.
"The Keystone Automobile Club of
Maryland also wishes to impress
upon motor vehicle operators the
Importance of cooperating with the
School Safety Patrols. The boys and
girls who constitute these patrols are
doing a splendid work in accident
prevention They are always on the
alert to safeguard fellow pupils, but
their efforts will be hampered with
out complete cooperation of mo-
torists.''

HYGIENE INSTITUTE FOR
NURSES
To BE Held BY Red Cross In Mary
land, Delaware and Virginia

Ianu, delaware anu virginia
Washington, D. c., September .
A two day training Institute for
nurses in Virginia, Maryland and
Delaware who teach the Red Cross
Course in Home Hygiene and Care
of the Sick will be held in the head
quarters of the District of Columbia
Chapter, 1880 E. Street, N. W., on
September II and IL, it was an
nounced today by Miss l. Malinde
Havey, National Director of Red
Cross Public Health Nursing and
Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick.
Mrs. Charlotte M. Heilman, As
sistant to Miss Havey, will conduct
the Course. Sessions will be held
from 10000 A. M. until 500 P. M.
on both days. No fee will be charg-
ed for the instruction, but nurses
planning to attend are requested to
notify either the District of Column
bia Chapter or Miss Havey by writing
in advance.
The program, it was announced,
will be closely related to the actual
teaching experience of the Instruc-
tors themselves. Each Instructor at
tending will be asked to present for
discussion one or more of the prob
lens which she has encountered in
her class work; she also will be asked
to outline teaching methods she has
found helpful. 1t is also expected
that each person attending will sub
nit at least one article of equipment,
a scrap book, poster or similar in
structive guide used in her class
work
AS taught by the American Red
Cross, Home Hygiene is not designed
to train practical nurses, but rather
to develop better hygiene practices in
the home by teaching parents and
children alike the rudiments of good
health and good living, and instruct
ing them in caring for and prevent
ing illness in the home, under the
direction of the family physician.
The increasing popularity of this
Red Cross Course is evidenced by the
fact that in the past year over 3d.
1875 persons completed the Course;
in Maryland the total certificates
awarded were 49S; in Virginia 395;
and in the District 219.

CIVIL WAR In SPAIN

Mr.. Frederic b. AcOSJd, " ueSree,
Latin scholar with rich background
of Spanish history, customs and
traditions, was an instructor of Span
ish in one of our larger universities.
A close observer of the political, eco
nomic and religious conditions OBJ
tanning in Spain under both mon
archial and republican forms of
government, he describes the present
situation there as follows:
'At the present time old Spain is
in the throes of the bitterest civil
strife that country has ever expert
enced in her long history. This war
should decide whether she should
continue the democratic form of
government established in 1881,
which guarantees the people those
inalienable rights-among which are
life, liberty and the enjoyment of po-
litical freedom and economic liberia
tion-or whether she should revert
to the old order of affairs, namely,
the return to the monarchial form of
government, dominated by the
Church.
1.-THE Spanish people from the
time of the ascension of the Bourbon
Kings to the throne up to the time
of the founding of the Republic five
years ago had been clamoring for
freedom and for their fundamental
right to live better life
with less poverty and less oppression,
politically and economically.
Thus, in the fateful year of 1881,
the people, rising as one man, over
threw the then existing monarchial
government, sending Alfonso into
exile, and founded liberal form of
democratic government in the her
ian peninsula. This new government
promised freedom from oppression
and tyranny to which the people had
oeen subjected for so long. For the
drst time they breathed the breath
Of life.
"The complete separation of
Church from State was effected. 1t
is for the preservation of this Re-
public that the masses in Spain are
lighting.
'The long reign of the Bourbon
iynasty had left the country i'm
poverished. Before the advent of the
lew government, the Church owned
nearly SO per cent of the entire land,
and the remainder was owned by the
Grandees Spanish aristocracy). So
between the Church and the nobility
there was nothing left for the COM
mon people. All sources of finance,
industry, commerce and agriculture
we're in the hands of and controlled
by the Church and the aristocracy.
Another thing that the outside
is public education in Spain. For
hundreds of years prior to 1881, edu-
cation was entrusted to friars, priests
and nuns. AS late as 1880, the last
year of King Alfonso's rule, the per-
centage of illiteracy was very high in
comparison with other nations of
Europe. The civilized world was
amazed when the fact became known
that As people out of every 100
could neither read nor write.
1.-THE people of Spain do not want
to go back to the old order of affairs.
That is why they are engaged in this
fierce war for something dearer than
life itself, and are resolved to shed
the last drop of blood to preserve for
themselves and posterity their hard
won indanandence "
