The bail Is tossed by the referee or
touched by him Immediately after
the basket is made and the scored
upon team has put the ball back
into play again before a long word
can be pronounced-and often be-
fore the basket-making team can
drop back into defensive position.
1t all adds up to wide open brand
of offensive basketball, and COM
bined with the ten second center
line rule, the game is just about as
fast as the average player can stand
it.
The advantage of height in the
center position has been minimized
and tall centers who can do nothing
but jump will have to play basket
ball to make an impression.
Last night, practice game be-
tween the High School and a City
League team saw fast man to-man
casaba with the score ending some
where between sixty and eighty for
both teams, with the High School
boys only slightly behind.
That brand of basketball is going
to breathe new life into Juneau and
Douglas basketball interest. It's
an audience game and it is pretty
to watch, it is declared.

High Speed Ball

Basketball Rule
High School Squad Show
ing Speed ond Real
Competition

Recent basketball practices in the
High School gym with the High
School squad being thrown against
various City League teams has
shown two things Of note.
In the first place, basketball this
year will be the fastest and highest
scoring casaba that local fans have
seen ON Channel courts, if present
indications mean anything at all
The second thing of note is the
strength of the Crimson Bear five,
which has been rather definitely
shown to be even-Stephen compe-
tition for the bigger lads of the
cut-of-school circuit.
The reason for the new outlook
fer Juneau basketball may be traced
to the elimination Of the center tip
off and the playing of the ball from
the out. of bounds area beneath the
basket following marker
1t means that the zone defense
customary to many teams is more
vulnerable, and in most games i'm
practical

Blue Skies and Bright Sunlight Shine on Meadowbrook
BY MARGARET HART,

n 4 EADOWBROOK, the beauti-
nu ful show grounds on the
East-West Highway is the
mecca today of all circles of
society in the Nations Capital. There
Is little doubt that this will be the
case during all three of the days Of
the Washington Horse Show, for in
| addition to seeing several hundred Of
the finest horses in this section of the
country, the proceeds of the event
will go to carry on the social service
department which the Junior League
maintains at the Children's Hospital
Even at an early hour today there
were many witnessing the first classes
OF the three-day exhibition and as
the luncheon hour approached car
after car filled with interesting
parties arrived upon the scene.
The diplomatic corps is we'll repre-
sented at the show today, not a few
having arrived in time to be served
luncheon at the attractive booth
| managed by popular members of the
Junior League.
The Italian Ambassador and Sig
nora de Suvich have with them in
their box their three children and
the Ambassadors sister, Signorina
Giunia de Suvich.
Nine. FOtitch, wife of the Minister
| Of Yugoslavia, and Sonora de Recinos,
wife of the Minister of Guatemala,
| are guests in the box of Mrs. Ernest
G. Draper, wife of the Assistant Sec
retary OF Commerce, who also has
with her Mrs. Stanley Reed, Mrs.
| Robert H. Jackson and Mrs. Rich
| ard Wilmer .
Among others of the diplomat set
who have boxes for the horse show
are his Britannia Majesty's Ambassa-
dor and the Hon. Lady Lindsay, the
Cuban Ambassador Senor DR.. Pedro
Martinez Fraga; the Ambassador of
the Soviet Socialist Republics and
Nine. Troyanovsky and the secretary
Of the Yugoslav Legation and Nine
Perazic.
Dame fashion is holding her share
Of the spotlight, and the many bright
hues in evidence make a riot of color
against the picturesque woodland with
its many evergreens, which surround
the show ring. Adding to the i'm
presive picture are the bevy of at
tractive Junior Leaguers in their green
smocks, selling gay-colored balloons,
cigarettes, special programs, league
match flaps, pencils. refreshing soft
drinks, in fact any article they can
sell to raise funds for one of the
philanthropic undertakings which is
closest to their hearts.
There is diversion for young and
old-the league has made sure of
this. Pony rides for the very young,
a marionette show, grab bags, ice
cream cones and hoops, and for the
grown-ups fortune telling and booth
where ice cold beer may be had.
Mrs. William North Sturtevant is,
perhaps, the busiest person at the
show. She is chairman of the Junior
Leagues Horse Show Committee. and
she hasn't allowed a chance of rails
ing more money slip by her. Mrs.
SturteVant has almost an army

OF leaguers carrying on" and Mrs.
Ernest Smith, who has charge of
the personnel, has carefully assigned
the members to various committees
so there Is not the slightest chance
that there will not be service for all
who attend the three-day show.
One Of Mrs. Smiths original ideas
Is her committee Of "f1oaters" who, not
definitely assigned to any one con-
cession, just float" about to assist
where assistance is needed. Among
the "f1oaters" are Miss Elizabeth
Houghton, Mrs. Chotard Eustis, Mrs.

Mrs. Arthur Van der Gracht, Miss
Phyllis Hight, Miss Sylvia Meridith,
Mrs. r. Brinkley Smithers. M Vir-
glnia Glazebrooke, Miss Wilhelmina
Allnutt and Mrs. Blackwell Jones.
Mrs. Harry H. Woodring, wife Of the
Secretary Of War, is assisting on the
committee in charge of the pony rides,
and there is little doubt that the two
little Woodrings" will be on hand to
buy a ride from their mother. Miss
Cecil Lester Jones Is in charge of
the pony rides and among others as
slstlng her are Miss Beverly Moffett,
Miss Frances Andrews, Miss Esther
belle McHarg, Miss Jane Culbertson,
Miss Anne Child, Miss Kate HYDE
Scully, Miss Yolande de Mauduit, Mrs.
Carl Forbush, Miss Mary Cootes, Mrs.
P. Landon Banfield and Miss Villa

There is always one sure way OF
raising money at any event of this
kind and that is by having a fortune
teller. When one with a fare for
reading the future, such as Mrs. James
Hamilton Lewis, wife of the Senator
from Illinois is chosen for the JOB,
then there is every assurance Of finan-
clal success. Mrs. Gypsy Lewis be-

delicacies and all is so moderately
priced. Mrs. Robert Clement Watson

NEW MOTOR CODE

The vehicle laws of the State haVN

has now been made by the commits
sion named to undertake the task.
The results of it's work are submit
ted to the Legislature in a single bill
that Is recommended for adoption.
The intent of the drafters of the bill
was to substitute for the present
chaotic laws, with their many con-
hicting and confusing provisions, a
carefully drawn code that would
bring up to date the States regula-
tions for vehicular traffic. At the
same time it is hoped to make our
laws reasonably uniform with those
Of other States that have enacted sat
isfactory codes. In view of the ex-
tent to which interstate traffic has
grown, such a codification of the law
promises much for the convenience OF
motor-vehicle operators and for the
safety of the public.-Baltimore Sun

DIVERSION OF MOTOR VEHICLE
TAXES

Maryland roads today are in a
shameful condition due almost en-
tirely to the Diversion of Motor We
hicle Taxes to purposes other than
Safety and Roads, states Geo. A.
Dornin, Chairman Traffic Committee
of the Grand Jurors Association.
The total Motor Vehicle Taxes paid
by the Motorists of Maryland last
year were about Is million dollars
of which the State of Maryland re
ceived about IAN million and the
National Government about " mil
lion. 1t is easy to see, therefore,
that only 2-3 of these taxes were used
for roads and 1-3 was diverted 1t is
obvious that in the past four years
these diversions have amounted TO
about 20 million dollars and there
fore in these same four years Mary
land Roads have been allowed to de-
teriorate and to become obsolete and
inadequate by this amount of new
construction.
Unless this diversion is stopped at
once it will in the next four years
probably amount to rs million dol
lars and the total for the eight year
period will then be As million dol
lars. Just what this will mean to
the Roads System Of Maryland can
be seen by anyone. The As million
dollars would build about $50 miles
of main highways including a reas-
enable percentage Of dual highways
and the Maryland Highway System
will be inadequate by this amount.
When we realize that Motor We
hicle accidents cost In the State of
Maryland about 20 million dollars
last year, that about 500 of the
time of our courts was taken up for
Motor Vehicle cases and that dan
gerous inadequate roads are fruit
full cause of all this damage, cost and
misery, the stupidity Of permitting
Motor Vehicle Tax Diversion to con-
tinue should be plain to sveryonA
