The new rule figuring to curb fouling applies to the last two minutes of play. It provides that on each foul committed in the final 120 seconds, a personal foul will be charged against the offending player, but| it will be treated as a technical| foul. That is, he will be given a free throw, but the tall will be out of | play. After the toss, the ball will be given on an out-of-bounds to the team which was fouled. 7 .

And it answers the housewife's question very simply by show- ing that cattle are not all beef. Out of a 1,000-pound steer, 40 pounds will be porterhouse steak (which brings $36 at 90 cents a pound) and 50 pounds will be which it calls “The Saga Of the Steer.” It breaks still owned the property.

The truth is that Alas among the half dozen highest. per capita tax has been Under the new tax laws, over which the Governor is boasting, Alaska, with its sparse population, becomes the highest taxed entity under the American Flag. Alaska will now pay more than twice the national per capita, more than twice the Wyoming per capita, more than three times the Nebraska per capita. The Senate Finance Committee estimates reve- nue for the biennium is $19,665,000; add $4,000,000 un- employment compensation tax, total of $23,655,000 for the biennium or $11,827,500 per year. Per capita based on 100,000 population for Alaska, which is generous, would be $118.27. Highest per capita tax in the States in 1948: sirloin (yielding $40 at 80 cents a pound.) There will | be 80 pounds of round steak, bringing 75 cents; 70 pounds of rib and rump roasts, bringing 65 cents; 100 pounds of chuck roast with a price tag of 50 cents; 160 pounds of hamburger worth 45 cents and 40 pounds |of fat valued at 15 cents. In all, there will be 540 [pounds of retail cuts selling for an average of 57 | cents a pound. The price retail meat buyers pay for the steer, then, is $300. The retailer himself pays $252 for the steer. The difference between that figure and $309 is the regular | business mark-up which must cover rent, labor, de-{ peciation on equipment and fixtures, the butcher’s profit and also offset shrinkage in weight when the steer is converted into retail cuts. ! A little-known fact disclosed by the chart is that the retailer pays less for a dressed steer than the packer paid for the animal at the stockyard. In this typical instance, the packer pays $260 for the 1,000- pound animal and sells it to the retailer as a 600- pound dressed beef for $252. The packers dressing, handling and selling expenses are more than offset by the value of the packing house byproducts, such as hides, fats, hair, animal feeds and fertilizer. “There are 19,000,000 germs in the average sneeze,” says a bacteriologist who can count faster than we can. i Every picture tells a new story—except some we've | seen at the movies.— (Bremerton Sun.)
