Iip-0ffs On GOOD BASKETBALL

By CLAIR BEE Long Island University Ccach

I have found that most players do better on jump ball plays by fa oing sideways in semi-croucn position before the jump. Feet should be parallel to the center hne hen the toss is made. As the ball starts its descent the jump is made with a quarter turn and the ,all i met with the tips of the fin- gers. The feet come down perPen- o.cular with the center line.
 Should you run into an oppo- I mt who troubles you by jumping into you, the best plan is to crowd hlm out before the ball is tossed, then move back to make your jump Timing is important in jumping and practice, with some one to watch you and advise you, will help you get the knack Of it.

Sea Saga

ALI the sea stories of Melville, Conrad and
McFee together contain no more amazing cpl
sode than that Of the Windsor Castle.
Last November, according to one of her
passengers, the Windsor Castle, two days out
of Glasgow, was attacked by Nazi bonbers.
There was a direct hit with a 55o-pound
bomb, which crashed down through her super
structure. For awful seconds the passengers
waited for the end. But the bomb, having
smashed its way down to the engine room,
lay silent, grim, menacing. It did not explode.
Nobody aboard knew how to remove the
fuse. Nobody knew what minute, what sec
ond, the deadly thing might tear the ship to
splinters. And for two days the ship raced
for Glasgow, the passengers standing by the
lifeboats, the engineers nursing their mighty
engines with instant death at their elbows.
None knew at what second a time fuse, or
some jar or conclusion might bring the ex-
plosion. For two days passengers and crew
lived intimately with death.
Then Glasgow was sighted, and experts
came hurrying out to render the bomb harm
less. Only a master touch in the telling is
needed to make this real episode take rank
with all ~fictional epics of the sea. l

Hitler's Biggest Mistake

We forget just how many mistakes Adolf
Hitler confessed to in his most recent Sports
palast speech, but it was something like 764.
It was supposed to be>a sarcastic sally, any
how, for he charged his enemies with making
several nillions-thus crediting himself with
a vast profit on the balance.
Probably the figures have not been brought
up to date, but it is now possible to increase
his error total by one. Either Hitler or his
subordinates made an expensive 1niscalcula-
ton when the German government invited
American listeners to German short . wave
broadcasts to send in their choices, by cable
collect, to programs put On the air by the
reich.
A considerable number of answers has al
ready gone out, for the Radio Corporation OF
America had to double its force Of telephone
operators in New York city in order to handle
the rush. And they are not likely to make
pleasant reading for the officials in Berlin
when they are examined.
One Of the first messages expressed a wish
for a broadcast Of Hitler's funeral, while the
United Americans cabled a suggestion for
''on.the-seene breakfasts Of Royal Air Force
~bombings Of Germany most welcome to Amer
leans, especially Of the chancellery, Berch-
tesgaden, and Braunhause."
Granted that these sentiments are not pleas
ant, the point is that the Nazis stuck their
meek out. They had better pull it in again
promptly. As word of the German offer gets
around there is likely to be an avalanche OF
such messages. After all, this is a big coun.
try.

. Editorial Comment
ALL QUIET FIVE YEARS HENC
Macon Telegraph

Senator Morris Sheppard D-Texas is back
ing legislation in the new congress to make
the draft law permanent, and to limit COM
pu1sory military training to men 10 to 81
years old.
The present draft law expires in five years,
and its age limits are 81 to IS inclusive.
It has seemed to us ever since the present
laws enactment that it goes too far in regard
to the age span and not far enough in regard
to duration of the law itself.
These proposed amendments of Senator
Sheppard's backed also by Representative
Andrew j. May O-Ky.) and the American
Legion's legislative committee) should 60 a
long way toward curing both Of those defects.
The five-year limitation on the draft laws
life was put there in the fond hope that all
this excitement and sWashbuckling and gun
toting in other parts of the world would have
subsidized forever in another five years.
Some earnest people still entertain that hope.
Mrs. Roosevelt, for example, came out the
other day with an expression of belief that
when this crisis is past we can disarm again.
That looks to us like an example of what
Mrs. Roosevelt's eminent husband would call
Wishful thinking. No time is now foreseeable,
by anybody who looks the basic facts of the
present day world in the face, when any ma
ton hoping to keep its independence and it's
safety will be able to disarm.
We'd better attune our compulsory ~selective
training laws and practices to that fact, too.
The draft age limits should be cut So as
to enable young men to do their hitch for
the nation either between high school and
college or just after college. And it should
be made an honor, a badge of merit, for a
man to be able to qualify for the army at
all. The simple way to do that is to set the
standards high, both physically and mentally,
so our best fitted young men will be drawn
into the camps.
Keep the draft law in operation, and keep
refining it along these lines, and we can be
reasonably sure the boys will never have to
fight.
Provided, that is, that we also have a two
oceans, an adequate navy is like a steel wall,
being a continental nation fronting on two
oceans, an adequate avy is like a steel wall,
behind which we can be as safe as a nation
can hope to be in this martial world-so long
as We maintain an adequate army just in
case the navy is punctured.

The Welles Statement

Japan's offer to mediate in any conflict in
the world, which is now denied at Tokyo but
not reversed at London, apparently was not
the result Of German prompting. Observers
on the scene consider it to be another tacit
admission that Tokyo is not prepared to force
the issue in the Far East just now, while in
Berlin it is taken as nothing more than a
proof OF Japanese "altruism."
Whatever the story behind it, however, the
Secretary Of State Sumner Welles, will be
noted in Berlin and in Rome as well as in
Tokyo. Mr.. Welles made it very clear that
the attitude Of the United States has not
changed in the slightest, despite Japanese
declarations of peaceful intentions and de-
spite the diplomatic trick the Nazis have just
taken in the Balkans.
BY abiding to the "%critical situation which
exists today" Mr.. Welles made his statement
include more territory than the Orient. II
his remark that the United States is far
more interested in the deeds of other nations
than in the statements of some Of their
spokesman points particularly to Japan, it
also has a general application.
Possibly Mr.. Welles intended to anticipate
a new Axis peace offensive, for such a drive
may come if the Nazis can force the Greeks
to make peace. It is more than likely that
Hitler, once he has completed charging his
new ORDER to include the Balkans, will
make certain soundings before going on with
the war. The British will be given a chance
to bargain.
So the importance Of the Welles pronounce
ment becomes evident. It means that the
administration has fixed upon it's course and
is not to be swerved from it. Not only the
Axis capitals, but Athens, Ankara, vichy and
Moscow, will mark 1t well.

Poor Hollywood!

1t seems only yesterday that we heard the
movie masnates sobbing pitiously over the
failure Of the American public to jam the
screen theaters as they used to in the good
old days. But letters Of coincidence and sym.
pathy seem to be distinctly out of place in
view of the census bureaus report on how
the American public allocated the billion dol.
lars they spent on amusements last year.
The movies, it turns out, took in $675, 0OO, 600
during 1910. Now that may not be enough
to support Hollywood in the style to which
it has become accustomed but it is big money
on any count and particularly when it is sci
side by side with the other amusement en-.
terprises supported by the American public.
Baseball, the national sport, for example,
took in a meager s25, coo, 900 or just one tweu.

COLOSSAL GALL.
Charlotte Observer

The politely kissing Jap is now merely hiss
ing; his veneer of politeness has worn almost
away. He is of a mind to adopt an Axis method
of making war without declaring it,; simply to
move into Singapore, blow up all the British
ships and seize the defenses.
His gall is colossal. Because Britain mines
the sea approaches to Singapore, the Jap
pouts. He grieves because the United States
f~ortifles Alaska and because Secretary of State
Hull holds a conference to discuss unity of
action in the fac eof dirty work at the cross
roads.
If the United States builds another battleship
the Jap takes it as an insult to the Japanese
honor, a menace to the japanese nation.
Somebody is always picking on Japan, he
Kisses. He's sore because there is an American
fleet in the Pacific.
Before he goes to war at the behest of
Hitler, he might consider what has happened
to Italy. Mussolini, too, had a lot of gall. Now
he has little of anything left.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21-People

even travelling in the same di-

ty-seventh of the gross income of the screen.
Bowling alleys, the next most popular en-
tertainment to the movies, were a poor sec
ond with a total income of $49, 000, 900.
From figures like this it is pretty hard to
argue that the movies are languishing from
lack of popular support. The support is there
in dollars and cents. Perhaps the real trou.
b1e is that Hollywood has been living on too
extravagant a scale for its own financial
health. This is at least suggested by the
fabulous salaries which are characteristic OF
the movie industry, millions poured into spec
tacle films and the plethora Of pictures turned
out to fill up double bills.

While the question of feeding the people of

cussed, it might be well to pause a moment
to realize that the United States has not en-

Almost $780, oo, 900 has been spent by the

to Britain. but France, Finland, Greece, China,
Spain, and Poland, Belgium, Canada, til e

all felt the touch Of this helping hand.

PUBLIC SALARIES

To the Editor:
While I have no objections to any
one receiving full compensation for
services rendered, I cannot help but
feel that those now holding public
office, who We're elected by the
voters, have no room for complaint
relative to the compensation they are
now receiving, for, doubtless many
of them are receiving more at their
present salaries than they could pos
sibly earn. were they in private life.
1 do not think it right or proper for
those who sought office, knowing
the compensation such offices paid,
are justified in seeking increases dur
ing the term for which they were
elected.
There are thousands of taxpayers,
at the present time, whose work is
much more arduous, who work much
longer hours than those seeking in
creases in pay, would be only too
glad to receive anything near the
compensation o being received by
those seeking increases, and who
have recently been increased, and
who are being taxed to pay such
increases, and it seems to me that
we have reached that limit in the
burden we are called upon to bear in
taxes, and that our officials, who
control the tax rate should take cog
nizance of this fact, and if it is hui
manly possible, c%urtail, instead of in
crease our taxes, and that those
who have to pay the taxes, should
have some say-so, before the salaries
of those elected to public office are
increased.
In this particular county, the tax
able value of property has, within
the past very few years, increased
many fold, by way Of new and valu-
able homes and business buildings,
but despite this fact, our tax rates,
both city and county, remain prac-
tically stationary.
Surely there must be some respite

at very nominal salaries, from be-
ing burdened with any further in.
creases, and to that end 7 make this
appeal that we taxpayers be taken
into consideration, and not make us
pay any further increases, but to as
sist us, who carry the burden, by
giving us a decrease in tax rates.
