HI! US TO EimiFFIC Railroads Offering Special In ducements Like Merchant Who Advertises Sales <Hy Tus Atnm-utrit Vrcsa.t ST. PAUL, Jan. 2.T. Bargain days on railroads —the offering of special inducements to equalize passenger and freight traffic under the same principle that the modern merchant advertises sales to stimulute trade at limes which otherwise would be rated dull were advanced today by Charles M. Babcock, Minnesota commissioner of highways, toward umeliorutiug railroad ills in the United States ‘‘.More or less slack periods as well ns those of traffic congestion make up rail transportation problems, accord ing to press reports," said Mr. Hab cock. "In my opinion, adoption by railroad managers of the business stimulants and methods employed by the successful merchants of today will go far toward solving the prob lems. Many commodities can be moved as well in one month as an other and inducements in the form of freight rat© reductions in the so-call ed dull months, I believe, would equalize the now seasonal movement The same would apply to passenger travel, although in a lesser degree perhaps. Bargain days on our rail roads could be made to work for the mutuul advantage of carriers and shippers.” Seasonal Kale Reductions Traffic experts of long experience said that proposed legislation now pending in Congress provides for sea sonal rate reductions to promote the shipping of coal in certain months but credited Commissioner Babcock with originating the proposal to broaden the plan. "Building material shipments offer a simple example,” continued Mr. Babcock, “cement can be shipped al most as well in one month as another, and every car of cement for construc tion takes others of lumber and steel and various materials entering build ing and also oxempt from seasonal shipping conditions. All that seems necessary to move such freight to the best advantage and convenience of the carriers is a cut rate inducement and it must be enough only to slightly more than offset the investment charges. Return loads and other de tails probably can be worked out with little difficulty once the plan is under taken.” • CWIBMEDI PM UP CLUB BUES Children who are in arrears with their 1922 dues for the Children's Hospital Club are asked to pay them to Mrs. Elliott H.

The contest will be staged at the Academy.

Such information has come to hand, and formal announcement was * made that Colgate will'come here on the date above named. It will be Col gate’s first appearance at Anuapolis for a gridiron battle. is. mmm ‘ FROM ST. STEPHEN’SCH.' i The funeral of Mrs. Alice Thorn ton Dashiell. w’idew of the Rev. Dr. J. M.

J TAX ON LUMBER WHEN IT IS CUT, PROPOSED ' F. W. Eesley, State Forester, soon will appear before the Maryland Tax * Commission to argue for a revision of * the tax laws as they applied to timber lands. In a statement yesterday he said the present system is unjust in principle and that it puts a premium ; on the devastation of forest land. Mr. Besley said the assessment made upon forest land is higher than that upon i arable land, and that the tax rate is correspondingly higher. 3 The injustice of such a plan is that e ! the farmer pay 3 an annual tax on land c' which yields him nothing until a har e vesting of the limber is made, which can be only every few years, Mr. Bes e.Jey said. r. The plan he will push will be that t of a “yield” tax. to be laid when the e timber is cut. The assessors, he says. 8 should take the production value as the basis of the tax. GOV.

M’KEE STARS AS NAVY BEATS PENNSpiNT Crack Forward Plays Wonderful Game, Scoring Three Goals From Court And Nineteen From Circle Final Count Was 31 To 10. BOTH TEAMS STRONG IN DEFENSIVE PLAY Largely through the remarkable in lividual performances of Ira McKee, lero of a number of football battles, •nd now a star forward of the basket all outfit, the midshipmen pulled a ictory over the University of Pcnn ylvania tossers on the armory court esterday afternoon after a rattling ast and stubbornly contested game, he final count was Navy, 31; Penn ylvania. 20. The triumph brought to the Middies bountiful measure of sweet revenge i view of their defeat at the hands if the Red and Blue in the Penn sylvania gymnasium January 13, after a hair-raising contost, 25 to 24. Yes terday’s game was witnessed by one of the largest crowds 1n the history of the sport here, and the regiment of students, occupying bleacher seats at one side of the court, and other points or vantage, cheered quite as lustily and loyally, as though a big gridiron engagement was in progress, 30 exciting was the play from the start to the final whistle. Both teams played a bang up game on the de fensive, but the sailor lads gained an edge in offensive play. tfcKee Scored 25 Points McKee put up a brilliaubgame from every angle. But the outstanding fea ture of his work was his keenness in shooting from the land of freedom. Twenty-one chances came his way * and he turned 19 of them into coun ters. Not only that, he registered ? hree goals from court, one of which was a one-handed toss from a semi backward position, that won tremend ous applause from the gallery. He led the offense all the way, and was here, there and everywhere in defen sive play. Walshe, a big rangy lad. who was substituted at centre for Day, shared in the honors to no mean extent. He made a difficult court goal, somewhat similar to that of Mc- Kee’s, and another after dribbling the ball through the entire Pennsylvania defense. The whole Navy outfit was on its toes all the while, and time and again broke up the fine passing game w hich is one of the main fortes of the Quaker’s play. In all, the middies scored six field goals to three by the Pennsylvanians, the bulk of the visitors’ points also coming from foul shots. Goldblatt. of Penn, did highly creditable work In tossing from the circle, being suc cessful In 12 out of 18 triffs. Kneaßs p’ayed a splendid game for Penn at centre, as did “Pos” Miller, football star, who was in at guard. Result Long In Doubt The result of the game was In doubt until play had gone w'ell Into the sec ond half. Foul goals was the best that either team could get during the early stages of the battle, and Penn was leading 5 to 3 after eight minutes of time had elapsed. Then the mid lies began to overhaul them. A foul goal by McKee, followed quickly by a field toss by Mills, placed them in front by a margin of one point, 6 to 5. From then on, the teams struggled desperately, but the sailor lade man aged to hold their advantage and were never again overhauled. The first half ended with the score reading Navy, 16; Penn, 10. Soon after the opening of the second half, the Quakers gained a couple of points, when the figures read 20 to 16, but after that the middles gradually in creased the lead. The flnkl point ot the game was scored by Carmack, Just as the whistle sounded, when he tossed a foul goal. While the officials charged numer ous fouls against both, the best of feeling existed between the players 1 and there was no indications of un necessary roughness. Llne-ap And Summary Navy Pos. Penn.
