Best Problem

Herbert Hoover says the Missis.
sippi is national problem. He
might go farther and say 1t is the
best problem now confronting the
Nation.
Thirty States have contributed
water to the flood. That is enough
to show whose problem it is and
what is required as a remedy.
Nothing in our economic structure
has caused greater loss OF life and
property during the last seventy-five
years. Nothing that our political
leaders are talking about represents
a worthier issue.

Find Missing Babe
Was Taking Siesta

Answering the call of frantic
mother, Motorpolicemen Harry
Wenz and Fred Brennan rushed to
4106 Boulevard Pl. late Thursday
and started a search for Earl Hum
BILE, 4, who disappeared suddenly.
After searching the neighborhood
in vain, police returned to the home
and decided to make the rounds
once more. They got as far as the
garage, where they found Earl nes-
tied in the automobile seat, fast
asleep

Looking OUer
Palace ShoU

There are four hits right in a row
on view at the Palace.
Three of them are especially fine.
They are: lie Bena Edgecombe and
boys; Pair OF Jacks, radio singers,
and Jimmy Allard and company.
The fourth act is Fisher and Gill
more, who have classy opening
number and then go into a bur-
lesque on how a modern Juliet cap
lures her 1927 bashful Romeo.
La Dena is a dancer who has built
up pretty, lively and lovely
dance act. She has the assistance
of four boys who specialize in tap
dancing and the eccentric modern
clog. These boys would put any
act over because they have ability
and they seem to love their work.
La Dena has several dance numbers
which range from modern hoofing
to beautifully done ballet number.
This act is there.
Jimmy Allard is one of those CO.
medians who can either Groom or
actually sing his songs, just as he
desires. Allard has enough person
ality and enough business" to put
his act over in the hit class. He
does not rely upon his own person
atty alone, but has bought a good
playlet, dressed 1t splendidly and
surrounded himself with a good COM
pany. His nifty burlesque song num-
Der stops the show. Clever.
Pair Of Jacks is made up of two
young male radio singers who
seemed to be we'll known the second
they walked upon the stage of the
Palace at the $50 show last night.
They sing well, have a novelty man
ner of presentation, and, above all,
they have class. A girl is introduced
at the last minute, and she aids in
the melody triumph.

What is the origin and meaning
of the expression ito learn by
hearth"
it means to learn by rote, or per-
fectly by memory. The meaning Of
"rote" is a repetition of words or
sounds as a means of learning them
with slight attention to the mean
ing or to rules or principles. The
meaning of learning ''by heart" was
probably suggested by the regular
beating of the heart which can be
compared to the regular repetition
Of words or sounds when something
is being committed to memory.
Where was the movie dog actor

bid one Heart.
No. IA. South one No Trump; West
should pass.
No. Is. South one Spade; West
should bid two Hearts.
No. 16. South one Heart; West
should pass.
Ny reasons in support Of these
declarations are:
No. IS. Vests four-card Spades
are not strong enough to justify
naming them in preference to the
much stronger f1ve-card Hearts.
No. IA. The hand is not within
two tricks Of game at Hearts with a
No Trump bid against. The game
| probably can be saved and the No
Trump may be defeated. A pass is
therefore the sound declaration. If
West had a score 1t might be diff
ferent.
No. IS. Vests bid is so clear that
It is not in need Of supporting ar
| gument.
No. 16. Souths bid must be
based upon a long J-10 Heart suit
with great side strength lat least
three tricks. There is no declara-
! ton tn; West can make with which
he could hope to produce satisfac-
tory results against South's UNI
doubted strength; and against
South's Heart bid he is practically
sure to save the game and possibly
may defeat the contract.

Annapolis Athletic Authorities Look Askance at
Number of Appointments to Point Received
By Varsity CridirOn Lumnaries.

1t Is impossible to appoint seasoned

do so. So, even with the one-year

ments to West Point and to tho failure
to observe the three-year rule, strong
ground was taken.
1T may be of interest to note" said
the statement, that the authorities
of the Military Academy at West Point
have no control whatever over the an
pointments made 10 the academy;
these appointments are vested in and
controlled by the President. Senators
and Congressman. Any charges must
of necessity, therefore. at least by in
ference include. sorne Of these gentle
men"
If this is true, If these gentlemen"
are to be included by inference, there
is but one thing to say and that is
that the President, Senators and Con
gressmen are excellent judges of foot
ball material.
Whoever appoints these cadets and
however they are appointed, the fact
remains that a team thus built UP
very naturally should be most for
midable aggregation. One wonders, in
deed. why it should ever be defeated
by any college outfit whatever.
Another part of the statement says
that no denial has ever been made
that athletic types are desired for the
Army, as the late wor demonstra ted
the superiority Of such types. But the
authorities of the academy wish to
make the most sweeping denial thar
they have or would countenance any
unsportsmanlike methods TO obtain
such types.
Probably the Navy would make no
claim against the Army of unsDorts.

for the Palace Club professional

fit that beat Fort Wayne here last
night. 81 to 81, left Washington today

over to Trenton. n. j.. Friday to meet
the professional aggregation of that
place.
The local basketers nosed out Fort
Wayne in one of the hardest fought
games at the Arcadia this Winter. a
contest in which good basket bali was
mingled with rough playing, mauling
and thrills for the spectators. Several
Indiana congressman watched the
game from the side lines, and saw
Fort Wayne lead at half time. Is to
t. and again lead with but four
minutes to so, 80 to 20
But then Teddy Kearns, who was
acquired yesterday from Baltimore,
went into 'the fray and collaborated
with Saunders in running the local
count to within point of Fort
Wayne. Then came the turn of Tillie
Noss, giant Washington center, to
prove his stuff. Title took the ball
off center, dribbled down the floor
and flung winning goal.
Tillie was released a few days ago,
