FARMER REPELS
SHOCK TROOPS

BALTIMORE, June 22.-Balti-
more came near to falling into
the hands of the enemy" yester-
day when a battery of the Mary
land National Guard succumbed
to the temptations of cherry
orchard.
The artillerymen were defend
ing the city against a mimic in
vasion by Pennsylvania troops.
The battery, under command of
Capt. C. Ridgely Howard, one of
six participating in the manuever,
saw tempting fruit in the cherry
orchard of George Rupert, on
Wimans Road, and Immediately
forgot all about tactics. Rupert,
however, rushed to the defense of
his fruit and sent the artillery
men back to the defense of the
city.
The maneuvers we're under the
direction of Col. j. Craig Lana
han and were uneventful except
for the injury of Lieut.. Thomas
Holmes, who was slightly injured
when a truck in which he was
riding hit a telegraph pole.

BAPT|SES
30 IN POTOMAC

To the accompaniment of
shouts of those who had been
saved and those who were about
to be 80 devout pegroes yesterday
were immersed in the muddy
waters of the Potomac at the
foot of Water and c Streets by
Elder Lightfoot Michaux of the
Gospel Spreading Association.
A crowd of more than 1000
lined the shores as the minister
exhorted his listeners to "die of
their old ways of bootleg liquor
and gambling and rise again to a
new life"
Only Salvation
In his sermon prior to the bap-
tism of the faithful, the evange-

that immersion in the river in
the old-fashioned way was the
one and only way to attain a
crown in the cele-+.~' hereafter.
Tell Sins to Police
He declared that when a man
sins he ought to "gO and confess
to the police department"
Some of the candidates were
bit loath to step off the gaily
decorated barge into the muddy
water but willing hands showed
the tardy into the water to have
their sins washed away.
Fifty-five women, three young
girls and % men were baptiSed.

IT, S. Scientist Adds Proof.
To Einstein;S Theory

it's nebulae home. The question
was: Did such light slow up o.
increase in speed? The possibility
of it's slackening had been sug-
geSted.
Findings of Telescope
When a telescope is turned
toward a celestial object. like a
star, allowance is made for the
motion of the earth. The tele-
scopes body moves forward with
the earth, about 18 miles a
second. This happens even in
the brief time it takes light to
pass through the telescope tube
to the observers eye or photo
graphic plate.
DR.. Stromberg discovered that
the amount of shift necessary in
directing the telescope toward
the neutrality-suspicious.
nebula was not different from
the similar shift made for observ-
ing a nearer star.
Light speeds for millions of
years through space without
Slackening.

SCIENTIST SAFE.
IN CLOUDBURST

A story of how he and the
party escaped from a cloudburst
in the Belgian Congo, after hope
had been abandoned for their
safety, is related by DR.. Arthur
Terrence, scientist and explorer
well-known in Washington, ac-
cording to word received here.
In April the scientist and his
party travelled from Uganda to
an outpost town called Buta in
French Equatorial Africa. They
we're caught in heavy rains which
inundated their temporary en-
campment. Several cludpursts
followed two days of rain. DR..
Terrence said:
"The river changed its course
10 miles above our camp. 1t
came rushing down the valley
like solid wall, completely en-
quilting u.s."
ut was with the greatest diff
ficulty that anything in our
camp was saved or that any
lives were spared. If the flood
had come at night we doubtless
would have been lost, buried in
the jungle, without any trace.
AS it was, three native boys
were drowned and nearly a
dozen others received broken
arms and legs and other in
jurieS."
DR.. Terrence was able to save
specimens of insects and other
African life he had collected for
governmental PURPOSES,

NEW YORK, June 22.-An
American astronomer, DR.. Gustav
Stromberg, has just added a new
feather to the cap of Prof. Elm
STEMS fame.
Another proof in support of
the theory of relativity has been
found. DR.. Stromberg. brilliant
member of the staff of the Mt.
Wilson Observation, at Pasadena,
has discovered an answer to this
question:
rs the speed of light the
same throughout the univerSe?"
According to DR.. Stromberg's
report to the astronomical society
of the Pacific, light coming from
the remotest universes has the
same speed as light on earth.
Agrees With EinStein
This is in excellent agreement
with the theory of relativity.
Dr.. Stromberg studied the
speed of light rays that came
from Nebulae, OniverseS, so far
that light took about 100000
years to reach us after leaving

The Bidding.

The bf0Olng.
 The contract bidding was South one club, West passed, North one spade. This is the One over One and requires partner to keep the bidding open. East passed and South bid two no trump, trying to show partner an exceptionally strong hand which had better possibilities for game at no trump than at spades. North jumped the bid to four no trump. inviting partner to bid for a slam. South. having more than the originally advertised, bid six no trump.
 The Play.
 West opened his fourth best dia- mond-the six spot, dummy cov- cred with the nine which forced the pack from the East hand, South winning with the king. De- clarer returned the four of dia- monds, finessing the 10 spot, which held the trick. The club suit Is then started by leading the six from dummy, declarer winning with the ace. A small club is re- turned and West discards the five of hearts, dummy winning the trick with the queen of clubs. The seven of clubs is returned from dummy and when East plays the nine. de- clarer covers with the 10. West discarding the seven of diamonds.
 Now the king of clubs Is led by declarer forcing West to discard the nine of hearts. A heart is discarded from dummy. East fol- lows with the jack of clubs. The declarer plays a small spade, win ming in the dummy with the ace and leads the deuce of spades from dummy. East follows with the jack, declarer winning with the queen.
 This gives the declarer a very good count of the West hand. East Is undoubtedly out of spades. West is known to hold two more dia- monds and two spades. This leaves him with one heart. Declarer then applies the squeeze by leading the five of clubs. West discards the jack of hearts, dummy the queen of hearts and East the four. Now the squeeze card-the ace of hearts If West discards a diamond, de- clarer will discard a spade from dummy. while if spade is discard ed by West, the diamond will be discarded from dummy.
