LONDON, November 2l.--The Con-
sentative party, given the opportunity
BY O victory at q general election. will
not rest until reciprocal trading ar
rangements have been concluded with
the dominions, Neville Chamberlain,
chairman of the Conservative party,
told a gathering Wednesday.
I'VE should not shrink even from a

the supreme advantages ioreseen In a
true system Of economic unity" he
said.
Great Britain was ready for another
general election, he continued, adding:
1.-The Imperial Conference offered the
greatest opportunity in q generation.
TO their lasting shame the government
disappointed the hopes Of the dominion
delegates. They had no idea, no plan,
and their complete lethargy was all the
more extraordinary because 1t stands in
striking contrast to the energy dis
played when helping Russia to trade
with u.s."
It Is understood the Conservatives
win support Q motion Of censure On the
government when the government re-
ports on the Imperial Conference in the

His statement, issued following yes
terday's market session, IN which Gov
eminent support lent stability to grain
values, said underlying market factors
and the fact that the corporation had
taken steps to prevent further declines
afforded assurances to consumers of
wheat products that they might with
reasonable safety make purchases for
their seaSonable requirements, thus pro-
tecting themselves against such adj

Among factors favorable to an up

OF wheat for corn in live stock feeding,
greater consumption of bread from re-

boxing and AL Singer will be with
in a stride of his greatest ambi-
tion-to win the lightweight

FEUD MONDAY

With the rematching Of Marty
Gallagher, Washington heavy
weight, and Henry Lamar, famed
aristocrat of the ring, interest
among local fight fans is expected
to be revived when the pair re-
sumes action at the Olympia
Clubs show next Monday in a
10-round bout at Carlin's Park.
Ever since their first meeting
there several months ago fans
have voiced their desire to witness
another match between the popu-
lar heavieS. Lamar scored a very
close decision in the last bout, so
close, in fact, that many believed
that Marty deserved the verdict.
Promoters Benny Franklin,
and Lew Fisher believe that
this bout, IL any, will help re-
vive the waning interest
among Washington and BaIti.

INDIAN SPRING
WANTS BOBBY
For BENEFIT
Rx IItNO KINERK


when leaves start turning brown,
Washington may receive the
golfing treat Of the year, Or years,
for that matter.
If present plans are carried
through, Robert r. Jones, the king
of cumberland, will then appear
here in an exhibition match.
Just the mere mention OF the
name Jones is sufficient to con-
iure the mind of every follower
of golf. and, If Bobby is prevailed
upon to stop over here on his way
up to the United States Amateur
tournament in Philadelphia, which
begins September %. it is safe to
say that the largest gallery that
ever saw a local golf match viii
turn out to watch him assault
Old Man Par.
The contemplated match
would find Jones paired with
George VOigt against Glenn
Spencer ard J. Monroe
Hunter, Indian Spring pro, at
Indian Spring in q beSt-ball
match over the 1S-hoIe route.
Above and beyond the mere
chance of watching the one and
only Bobby, in action, fans would
also be contributing to a worthy
charity, for the proceeds will be
forwarded to the i1valided Bobby
McWatt, formerly a local pro, who
was hopeleSsly crippled in an au-
tomobile accident few years ago.
Last year, it will be remem-
bered, Hunter and Spencer
teamed up against Horton Smith
and Leo Diegel in benefit match
at Indian Spring for McWatt and
defeated the nationally known
pros, so it is quite likely that they
would force the amateur king and
Voigt to the full extent OF their
ability to win If the proposed
match is effected.
There was some talk of holding
the match here before the United
States Open tourney last week.
but Jones couldn't come then
owing to the short time between
his arrival in this country fresl
from his triumphS in the Bltlsh
Amateur. and Open tournaments
and the start of play at Inter
lachen.
Jones now has two full months
of rest ahead and it is felt, that
he may turn kindly ear upon
the request to stop over here on
his way up to Philadelphia from
Atlanta, for in this period he Will
have plenty Of time to recuperate
from the strain and arduous
schedule through which he has
lust passed. And the worthineSS
of the purpose of the match also
is expected to have its effect.
Jones has appeared in
Washington twice before in ex-
hibitiOns, having played at Co
lumbia and the Washington
Golf and Country Clubs in
previous local appearances.
For VOigt the match simply
would be q return to his old
stamping grounds, for he
learned his golf in this city
and probably would welcome
the opportunity to return
here.
Should Jones come here he
really will have something to
shoot for in the way of a course
record for the first nine at Indian
Spring, for George Diffenbaugin,
the assistant pro who is called the
mighty mite, literally scorched
that half of the course Sunday by
reaching the turn in 80.

the Maryland State Fish and
Game commission should be in

isn't a fish in the entire Chesa-
peake Bay or the Patuxent
River.
Upon observing this alarming
lack Of foundation for the fame
which is Maryla.nd's for its
piScatorial resources, we went
about to discover the reason for
the complete failure of the briny
sources which we explored to
yield q better take, and no two
of the sea captains who put in
around Solomon and vicinity
had the same explanation.

va shOulda used SOft-shell

as to the size hook we used.

was:

Number l9 viii catch them"
"The tide wasn't right" was
another aiibi.
TOO much current today"
said another.
ITO smooth" declared orc.
mot rough enough" Of
fered yet another.
Every one of the dozen or SO
experts who are supposed to
know the ways of the finny
tribe had varied explanations
of the total lack of catch.
Why va should of gone out
early this mornin'," said one,
to a party fishing at midday.
and UP at the hotel a veteran
who was born n raised on the
Bay declared nobody with any
fish sense ever fishes except in
the forenoon or afternoon. One
said to fish in the chan.
mel and another said to fish
off the channel.
"Ya Outta come down for
some night fishing, if va
wanna see 'em jump into the
boat after va" was the sage
observation of a gnarled old
skipper.
Each had his own solution of
the paucity of sport.
But the straw that broke the
fisherman's back was the one
that sent us home raving and
vowing, Never again!"
We were telling our troubles
to Captain Winger, over at
Patuxent Beach. The Captain
is the proprietor, captRin, crew
and boSan's mate of a fourteen
foot flat-bottomed skiff with
two oars and a bad leak in the
bottom.
Lets see your tackle" said
he, "mebbe y'u amt got the

Wherewith we proudly pro-
duced as complete an outfit as

to bite no hooks, no matter
what size they be, nor no bait
no matter what kind It is, on

And there, fellow fishermen,
is the last word in fishing,
Make sure all your equipment
is salt or fresh, depending in
what waters you are fishing.
Let the tide be coming or going
let it be rough or smooth, let
it be midnight or midday, or
use anything from bloodworms
to shoe leather, but your tackle
must match as to salt or fresh
