bowIers Of Singleton Lodge last
night thought to have q little fun
and at the same time teach five
nice young ladies' Of the Commercial
team Of the washington Ladies'
Duckpin League few things about
the duckpin game.
But after the figures had been
added the boys were glad that they
admit played FOR keeps" The ladies
took three out OF five games and
made the boys like It.
Mrs. Palmer, Of the Commercials
showed the way to high game with
1877. She had a double-header In
the first and second and in the
ninth and tenth frames Of the second
game. Her set Of 5SS topped all
the ladies'.
Marjorie Bradt, anchor for the
Commercials, rolled, consistently for
the total Of 51e-good enough for
lots OF men.
The only consolation the men got
was Doleman's high set Of $50, quite
the best of both teams

life May Be Taken In Moment Of Peril

To push another person off a boat in order to save ones own life is not murder, the German Supreme Court recently held.
 An East Prussian woman teacher of athletics and her escort, mer- chant from Berlin. were riding in a rowboat on a Mccklcnburg lake this summer, when q sudden storm arose. The two battled bravely with the waves, but soon realized that the task was hopeless one. To make matters worse. the boat sprang 8 leak. !
 The teacher. who was the stronger of the two, pushed her male friend into the water in order Co save her. self. He was drowned. The girl was rescued. but was arrested on the charge first of murder then of man slaughter.
 Her lawyer found a provision In the law 10 the effect that anybody who. in order 10 save his own life or that of a near relative, kills an- other person. is not guilty. He cited i the provision. The court acquitted the teacher.
