Changes in 1918 Football Rules New regulations to curb the carry ing of Instructions from the side lines and the elimination of the field goal jfrom a multiple kick formation are the outstanding features of the new rules adopted at New York by the football rules committee of the 1917 season. I A substitute player entering the game must not speak to any other player on the field until after the ball has been put Into play; In case any change in the positions of the players Is necessary, the incoming substitute must give information through the referee. In case the substitute takes the place of the player giving signals, he may give the signals for the next play, but cannot speak to any player until after the ball is put Into play. The penalty for a violation of this rule Is the losd of 15 yards. In order that the present rule may not work a hardship, it Is discretion ary with the referee whether or not penalty shall be imposed when the incoming substitute fails to report. ! It was further ruled that a goal from the field can only be scored by a place kick or a drop kick, and the fact was emphasized that a place kick was made with the ball resting upon . the ground, which would appear to j bar the use of multiple kick forma tion as now In vogue, as the ball is held suspended a few inches above the ground when kicked. The use of artificial tees for a kick-off at the ; beginning Of periods also was barred. Other changes Include the giving of the ball to the offended side where there is illegal Interference with the player receiving a forward pass at the point where the foul is commit ted. In case the foul is committed I behind the goal line, the ball goes to the offended team on the one-yard line. A penalty of five yards will be Imposed In the future for running Into the kicker, and 15 yards and dis qualification for roughing; the penal ties to be imposed from the point where the ball was put into play. ' 'The referee is also empowered to permit the substitution of a new ball In play on a wet field at the end of the second period, a his discretion.

Roberts, superintendent of the Railway Ma i Service), are being saved from starvn , tlon through the parcel post, i' A late and heavy snow storm In these regions has deprived the cattle of the usual grazing. The farmers saw their herds perishing, as nr pro vision had been made to feed them with hay and grain. Never before had such a heavy snow fallen at this time of the vear and the barns were empty. i Then a thrifty farmer's wife sug gested that the parcel post be ucd to bring in hay and grain. The rules of the potsofTice depait ' ment provide that no parcel post o"er 50 pounds can be sent by mall and uO more than 200 pounds each day can ho sent 'to one person. The ruling, does not limit, however, the number of persons in one family retlving these packages." Orders were given merchants to send 50-poiind packages j o,f hay. I Seven members of one household each received the limit In one day, j making a total of 1,400 pounds of , bay and grain delivered.
