Origin of the Veil

1t was worn because no man was sup

the girls protection until they were ac-

of Congress Heights. Commissioners
Cuno H. Rudolph received letter to-
day from Brig. Gen. Anton Stephan
which practically assures the open

Simms rifle range to the youth of that
section this Summer.
Several days ago announcement was
made in The Star that officials of the
District National Guard were unwill-
ing to take the responsibility of let
ting children battle in the camp pool
unless some agency would provide
necessary supervision.
Commissioner Rudolph took the
question up with Mrs. Susie Root
Rhodes, supervisor of city play
grounds, who said she could furnish
the supervision. provided there would
be no conflict between the hours for
bathing and the use of the rifle range.
The Commissioner then wrote to Gen.
Stephan for information as to the
schedule of rifle practice, and today
received this reply:
II acknowledge receipt OF your let
ter of April II regarding the use of
the swimming pool at Camp SimmS,
and l am glad that it can be used by
the superintendent of Fairgrounds. l
Will submit to you within the next few
days a schedule of our operations at
Camp SimmS, so that Mrs. Rhodes can
fit it in with her schedule. 1t gives
me great pleasure to tender the use
of this pool for the Use of the children
in the neighborhood of the range

HURTING

Unmerited Homers Result

BILIOUS A. BOUCHER
sports Editor, The Times

These world series jousts are
threatening to become mere farces,
all because demands for tickets
are SO numerous that the mag
mates, seeking to accommodate
the public and fearful of losing
any money that might come in,
are yearly decreasing the playing
space where the games are staged.
Smaller fields, coupled with world
series rules making home runs all
drives into temporary stands, sim
ply reduces to nothingness all the
best-laid plans of managers and
nullifies the efforts Of excellent
pitchers. Those three home runs
In the second game of this 1926
world series offer an example.
XXI Cuyler's home run. winning
the game for the Pirates, was q
legitimate circuit clout. It would
never have been caught, being a
terrific liner hopping into the
temporary seats. But not so with
others.
Glenn Wright's homer in the
fourth inning just barely escaped
the clutches of Goose Goslin, who
seaped high in his effort to corral
It. The ball then passed over a
temporary screen. Al clear play

putout on that drive.
