DEETS PICKETT
/. LETTER SEEN
AS UNFAIR
Prohibition Is Not an Issue,
Say Arlington Candidates
For Prosecuting Attorney

A storm of protest against the
participation in local politics Of
the Methodist Board Of Temper
|ance, Prohibition, and Public
Morals has been raised in Airing
ton county by the various can
didates for the office Of COM
monwealth's attorney.
The protest results from the
distribution by w. C. Cloth, seek
ing reelection to that post. Of a
circular letter on the Board of
Temperance's stationery in which
Mr.. Cloth Is indOrsed for re-
election.
Signed BY Pickett
The letter is signed by Deets
Pickett, secretary of the boards
research department., a resident
Of Arlington county.
Mr.. Cloths opponents point to
the fact that prohibition has
never been raised as an issue in
the campaign, and go further
by stating that if that question
were raised, it could not react
against them.
They hold as unfair the &C.
tion of the Methodist board in
Endorsing Mr.. Cloth and permit
ting its stationery to be used in
q local campaign where issues in
volved have nothing to do with
that organizations work.
Excerpt From Letter
The letter, which has received
wide distribution, reads in part:
81 note statement in your
letter that I have done my
very best to make this county
q clean place for people to live
In, and IL reelected will con.
tinue to pursue the SAME poll.
cies in my office
at is gratifying for me to
be able to say that so far as
my experience with your office
goes, your statement is fully
justified

ton county board of commission
ers asking them to set forth
their views regarding the devel-
opment of the waterfront at

During the past year the ques-
ton of whether the waterfront
at Rosslyn should be developed
commercially or subjected to a
beautifying process has been con-
stantly recurring, the Rosslyn
Business Mems Association 60
ing on record as favoring the
commercial development.
On the other hand, many resi-
dents of the county who are
working in behalf of the con-
St-:IctiOn of memorial park
way to extend from the new
Memorial Bridge to Mt. Vernon
along the banks of the Potomac
have signified their intention Of
supporting the Identification pro.
gram.
What steps are to be taken
will depend largely upon the new

III. A. Mariner, assistant chief. divi-
sion of tides and currents of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, says that
with a wind Of GO miles an hour,
waves OF about 30 feet in height may
/, be expected In the open sea. With a
wind of 50 miles an hour, the result
Ing waves would be somewhat less
thnn 40 feet. From the observations
OF the heights OF waves made by
various observers and by different
methods, II appears that waves ex-
ceedlng 40 feet occur only In severe
storms and that so feet may be TAX
en- as the extreme height OF waves OF
the sea due to wind. When two great
waves intcrsect, peak may be thrust
to height OF 90 feet or more. Sim
ilarly, when large wave breaks
against an object, part Of the water
may shoot considerably above the
height Of the crest.

igious education among the young

teachers bringing to us accredited
courses in our assemblies.

maintained by any religious body in

PIN LOOP

Final action on the organiza.
ton of an Inter-High School bowl
ing league has been deferred by
the school officials for three
weeks to give them more time to
study conditions.
The advisory board is heart
edly in favor of such a league,
and there is a wide demand for
it among high school students.
However, with many other sports
crowding the scholastic program,
the officials want to make certain
that this new idea will not cut
too heavily in the students time.
Roscoe Richards Hecht Co. is
scuffling with Norman Schroth's
Fountain Hams at Recreation IN
a District League set of great
significance. to both teams. but
particularly to Hecht Co., fighting
to hold runner-up position in the
league. Schroth'S crew has been
hitting a winning stride the last
few weeks, and is now in q, dam
gerous position, not only for
second place, but to Red Megaw'S
Temple gang, leading the league
by two-pin margin.

Before three minutes could be
played the Apaches had scored
a touchdown. Fee Colliere,
chubby quarterback of the
Hawks, got off bad punt which
landed on his own 45-yard strip.
Then the Little Indians began
their drive for their lone score
of the afternoon.
Dugan's pass to DuFour was
good when "Snitz" Snyder, back
field ace of the Hawks. inter
fered with the receiver. It
gained exactly Is yards. Here,
CheSsy Antos, former Boston Col
lege star, broke loose and Travelled
20 yards to the Hawks 1-yard
line. Tracey plowed over for
the touchdown. Paddy Byrne
failed to convert the extra point.

The South Atlantic League
champions accounted for their

a brilliant passing attack. The
drive started from the Hawks
own 43-yard line late = in the
third quarter and the score was
registered in the final period.
Bill Wells, ex-George Washing
ton University player was the
hero Of the march. He was in
serted in the fading minutes Of
the third quarter. Wells accurate
heaveS were marvellous. O'Brien,
Snyder and Flaherty were the re-
ceivers Of Wells shots. The actual
touchdown was chalked up when
Snyder jumped over from the
half-yard line. "Tuck" DalgliSh
was rushed in the lineup in an
effort to kick the extra point, but
his kick was way wide and in
accurate.
All in all the ApacheS outplayed
