test was demonstrated by an incident
that took place in one of the cloister-
ed houses of study in Brookland--
the Dominican Monastery.
a visitor being shown through the
premises was brought unexpectedly
into a classroom. There the first
thing that attracted his eye were
a number of the friars, dressed in
their black and white habits and
hoods, grouped around familiar
looking horn. AS the visitor looked,
scarcely believing his own eyes, the
horn spoke:
Boone out to Judge. No runs. One
hit. One left
Even White House Pauaeh
A learned friar excitedly slapped
a brother friar on the back. The
secret was out. Even back there in
the cloisters of that quiet monastry,
the story of the pennant chase was
carrying it's thrill on the voice of the
radio. One of the friars then ex-
planned that what had caused such a
demonstration of joy was due to the
fact that Boston had had a man on
third, with the score, to 2, in
favor of Washington. A hit then
would have tied the count.
When the victory was finally
clinched by the third out in the ninth
inning, the White House interrupted
it's busy routine long enough to send
Bucky Harris message of cengrat-
ulations. High government officials
joined with humble citizens in praise
of the team and its fighting qualities,
cabinet officers. justices of the Su-
preme Court and other officials ex-
pressing their admiration in un-
stinted terms. all agreeing with JUS
tice Mckenna of the Supreme Court,
who said "the good, news gives me
distinct thrill; 1 am delighted and I
am sure that all of Washington feels
likewise"

Turkish Issue Raised.
A number of the benches of the

opened and 1T was not long before the
House and its galleries were crowd
ed in preparation for the opening of
the sitting which it was generally
felt would be momentous.

key.
Situation Well In Hand.
The colonial secretary explained
that certain Turkish military move
ments had taken place which the Brit
tah government considered a disturb

continued. air action was taken after
serious warning had been given the
nearest Turkish authority. But fur
ther epcroachments, occurred, and,
Mr.. Thomas said, the Irak police
forces had been forced to fall back
with three casualties.
Meantime, 1t was said. Assyrians
and Christians numbering 5000 fed
from their homes, which the British
government alleged were outside the
sphere of Turkish influence. Serious
protests had been made, 1t was de-
clared, and the British authorities at
Irak had been authorized to take all
necessary action to prevent further
trouble. The colonial secretary said
that in the meantime the situation
was we'll in hand from a military
viewpoint.
