HIGH SCHOOLS
MUST PAY TAX;
OFFICIAL RULING
The athletic associations of Cen-i
tral and Technical High schools will
in all probability be compelled to
give up |314 of their receipts from
the Thanksgiving game to the cof
fers of Uncle Sam, because of the
recent ruling relative to turning over
ten per cent, of the receipts from all
amusements. A recent decision af
fecting the University of Pennsyl
vania makes it compulsory on the j
part of that,institution to give one- {
tenth of the receipts of the athletic i
association to the government. This
is in addition to the tax Imposed on
admission last fall and up to date.
This will apply to all the colleges!
and the high schools will likely come:
under the same ruling.
While the athletic associations are:
parts of the high school, and come j
under their management, not all of
the student body at either of the|
High schools are members of the'
body. A nominal fee is charged!
for membership, which admits hold-)
er to vote for all the managerships. 1
Any student who does not turn over |
the fee is ineligible for a position as
a manage-, nor does he or she havel
a vote. Internal Revenue Collector
Davis has sent the following let-1

' "Replying to your letter of the

act of October 3, 1917, you are ad
! vised that T D 2,577 seems to cover i

I ! as a college, and where it is shown
• I that all of the proceeds Inure ex-|
• J clusively to the benefit of the school;

j "The tax is imposed where the
proceeds in whole or in part are re
;' tained by a class, society or athleticj
i} team of the school or college.
I "While it is true that a state in-,
'istitution is not taxable, it is the
j opinion of this office that a class.!

Shadows of years—ghosts of old days
In endless columns they pass, far whirled; ;
Blown from the drifts of forgotten ways,
And a life I knew In another world;
A world of ease and of softer dreams, \
Where Fate had furnished the best of it.
Where my tent was pitched by the singing streams
That sang of home—and the rest of it.
Shadows of years—ghosts of old days—
Shadows and ghosts—in the grip of Fate
Is it only a dream through the winter haze,
When the drill is long where the big guns wait?
Did I ever live in a world that knew
The softer dreams, with the home fires lit ?
And if I did, and the dream is true,
How many ages ago was it? " •
Friendly faces I seem to know-
Gather out of the mist again,
Only to fade as the bugles blow-
And the long line gathers of marching men;
Frinedly faces I seem to miss
From the softer years where the old dreams flit;
But if I lived in a world like this —
How- many years ago was it?
A SPRING FEATURE MATCH
Some one has suggested the idea of a feature golf match this spring
or summer if it can be arranged.
This would be between Francis Ouimet and Larry Jenkins, provided
Ouimet, as he very likely will, arrives in France before fall.
Jenkins won the last British amateur championship played. This
was in 1914, when the U. S. of A. sent over Francis Ouimet, Jerry Travers
and Chick Evans to carry forward Uncle Sam's golfing flag. But they were
unequal to the task and all three were soon shot down.
Larry Jenkins, of Troon, pulled out the winner and three months
later he was on his way to the French front, where he has served since
the beginning of the war.
The odds are that he has received no great opportunities for golf there
but has had time for a few rounds to keep his eye adjusted to the old game.
If occasion offers, a match between Ouimet and Jenkins would be a great
affair for some off afternoon when both were due a breathing spell.
CAN GET BACK SOON
It has been proved that a golfer can soon get back on his game, even
after a long respite. There was one leg span where Harold Hilton quit,
only to return and win other championships.
There was another span where Jerry Travers played very little golf
for two years, and yet when he resumed, he was able to win another brace
of championships in succession.
Ouimet could go without golf for two years and then pick up his game
in fairly short order with a chance to practice.
ANOTHER SHIIT
Keeping your eye on the ball has been
The subject of many a pen;
But keeping your eye on a rifle ball/
Is something else again.
—CORPORAL CASEY.
"The spirit of '76," a justly boosted slogan, is an exceptionally line
thing. But it has been discovered now that hard training and big guns
are ingredients fully as essential as any spirit ever devised. The wars that
used to be and the war that is are hardly one and the same.
"The mailed fist and the shining sword will win."—Kaiser Bill.. They
will. But they won't be worn by Kaiser Bill when the finish arives.
Coal Cut Off From Stores
to Supply Phila. Homes
Philadelphia, Feb. 7.—: The coal
situation has now reached the point
where stores must go heatless if
homes are to be warm.
As the outcome of a'conference
of fuel heads in the office of William
Potter, state administrator, yester
day, it was decided to stop stores
from getting coal, except that the
needs of householders were satisfied
first.
Dealers will be notified by Francis
A. Lewis to-day. Mr. Lewis will meet
dealers in all parts of the city for
the remainder of the week and Rive
them specific orders that they will be
held to the ruling that homes come
iirst.
As the rule was interpreted yes
terday, each dealer must sfce that
every family customer on his books
has coal before he can deliver one
pound to a store. Regardless of how
many stores may be forced to close,
the fuel administration has made up
iks mind that its first duty is to
householders from freezing.
Food Stores Kxcmplcd
Restaurants are exempted. Hotels!
also. Grocery stores, delicatessen,'
produce-stores—every type of store 1
classed under the Federal heading of
food stores will receive fuel. Food
stores are to be accepted on an
equal footing with homes. Further
than this coal will be denied.

after Secretary of War Baker had
told the Committee on Military Af
fairs that the activity of the war
machine would be accelerated were
the President given authority to re
organize, co-ordinate and transfer
functions of various departments,
boards and bureaus and if further
authority were given him to sus
pend for the time of the war what
he knight regard as restrictive stat
utes.
In other words, Secretary Baker
sketched the bill which Senator
Overman Introduced, and his testi
mony and the bill itself were to-i
night regarded as evidence that the
administration has finally recogniz
ed the keen necessity for co-ordina
tion and co-operation between the
various war bureaus and depart
ments and seeks to bring It about
through the revolutionary measure
proposed.

Harrisburg will he represented at

County fairs will furnish much in

Molla Bjurstedt Winner
in Women's Tennis Match
New York, Feb. 7. Miss Molla
Bju.-stedt, national woman's tennis
champion, yesterday vanquished a
rival for her title, at the invitation
tournament at Height's Casino, Brook
l>"n. The stalwart girl from the north
whoffnvaded the net game four years
ago.Ms still champion.
Mrs. John Kogge, also from Norway,
who. like Miss Bjurstedt, came herald
ed from the snowboum} land and who
seemed the most likely title winnevr
went down in thJ semifinal rounds be
fore the unconquered woman from her
own native land.
Mrs. Rogge, who plays the same
typical Norwegian style of tennis,
proved no match for Miss Bjurstedt
and lost two straight sets. 6-0, 6-1.
From the start Miss Molla asserted
her superiority, winning the first set
in what is probably record time. It

STEELTON STRONG
FOR TECH TEAM
Old-Time Rivals Meet on Fel
ton Hall Floor Tomor
row Night
With seven out of eight victories
to their credit, Tech High School
basketball squad held another prac
tice yesterday evening in preparation
for the big contest at Steelton to
morrow evening. Tech is preparing
to take a record crowd to Felton
Hall. The Maroons have a hard
row to hoe for several weeks, as all
games will be away from home.
Tech's defense is one of the strong
points of the team that Coach Mil
ler has been working on. The
guards have scored almost as many
field goals as have the visiting for
wards. On the Tech team are Wils
bach, Ijingle, Beck and Smith, all
members of the sophomore class,
while Kohlman is a first year lad. If
Tech can develop a winner this sea
son, it means a championship team
for several years to come.
Change* In Schedule
The contest that was originally
scheduled at York next Tuesday
night has been postponed until March
19. During the next ten days Tech
will have to keep up its whirlwind
pace if it desires to keep at the
top of the ladder. The team lacked
a good foul tosser, but that defect
has been remedied with the pddi
tion of "Goldie" Huston. At las%
100 Tech rooters will accompany the
team Friday night.
Next week Tech plays Reading and
Allentown, and will be away from
home for two days.
