The weekly high single was talk en for the second time this year by Cy Dvileskis who made strong finish to hit 140. John Scully and Pat Gribbon both came within one pin of the honor, hitting 139.
 The honor for the previous week was taken by Dr COttierO of the CopnOtchers with a score of 143. The Doc has been turning In some great scores for this team in the past few weeks.
 George Holmes only made two strikes during the evening but they came one on top of the other and won the odd game of the evening for the "Highlanders" by one pin. In the other win, Bill Buffers double spare near the final box was the deciding factor. Bill is sure taking his bowling seriously this year with a prize position in sight.
 The "Ammities'' were all on hand this week with the exception of their Iead-Off man, after their absence the preceding week.. Ac- 'cording to Jim Flanagan, the Jar lett outfit get all the breaks, Jar lett profiting to the extent of three games when Walter Ahearn was the only man to show up. It ap- pears that some of the kidding" goes a long way. However, Wal ter almost upset them single handed in the second game, and this week Walter again came to the rescue with 8 117 score which saved these "Anmitics" from an- other whitc-washing.
 Ronald Sullivan started off in great style last week hitting 121 and defeating the lumbermen in this game, but John Scully and Pat Gribbon pulled their 139 scores in the 2nd and third games to upset the soldiers.
 The new averages were posted just in time to give Patsy McPart- land win by one pin. John Col lins, who has been turning in great games since being relieved of auto show worries, finished up with n nine fill spare to cop the second contest for his team.
 Dr Kilduff made desperate at- IGIupL LO IhC w otOkS kSS"iA o6 gregation down, but the Water town boys had been running a. round in the pastures before com- ing to town and just wouldn't be held. Doe" had total pinfall of 3so.
 Joe Jarlett and his men obtained a one game lead on first place by their good bowling and 1t appears as though they were out to keep it. They bettercd their own aver age by at least 30 pins in all three games. Whit Moody of HupOmO- bile fame lead the P1OughbOys with a 33O pinfalI, while George Sulli- van, under fathers watchful eye, collected BPS.
 Neither of the teams could get up full steam in the Reilly Mascolo match. both of them failing to reach their average in any of the games. Nevertheless. Jack Reilly displayed his. value as captain. which he recently had returned to him by Dr Godfrey, and was in- strumental in taking two games.
 The six man idea of the "vil- Iagers" seems to work out pretty good. Jim Burns was chosen to take rest in the second game and he took advantage of 1t by starting Off the third game with his seImi-annual strike.
 Bill Dunleavy has been made first assistant captain of these "Vil- lagers" and has ben showing his hest form while acting as captain. Bill and Dan Sullivan together collected seven strikes in the final two games to keep their team in a choice position, Dams 132 win- ming the final game.

Elks' Bowling League Notes

/, shown plenty of power during the past two weeks. Two weeks ago they hit 1910 to take the lead in high three games and also hit 5Sa to take high single. Not satisfied
 with this performance they hit 582

 strikes. Jim O'Rourke also made
 q spectacular finish to decide the
 first game in favor of tho Paint men.
 Jim Flanagan and his mates bowled well enough last week to
 stay in first place, going over the 500 mark in each game, but the Cahill team broke lose to hit 53l in the final game and knock the Flanagan team out of first place for the first time this year.
 The Cahill team had lot of tough fills in the first game or the
 result might have been different: On five spares they only collected a total of eight pins, three of these spares being ono pin fills. Paul Lux was the main factor in keeping the Star Water Plumbers from winning three games. The veteran nude a five fill spare in the final box which gave his team A one pin victory. Oscar LaConte turned in one of his best perform ances of the year and his 122 score
 won the final game.

LIBRARY CIRCULATION
HUGE GAINS
Borrowing Increases From
7 to 173 Per Cent.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-The borrow
ing of books from public libraries
has increased from 7 to 173 per
cent in American cities since the
depression, it was revealed Thurs
day night in report by the Amer
lean Library Association which is
holding its winter meeting
here.
Librarians who have come here
from all over the country for the
convention said their work had in
creased greatly since 1929. Several
speakers regretted that While the
work had increased, salaries of
library workers had decreased.
The Report Covered 33 Cities
The greatest increase in number
Of books borrowed from 1929 to
1882 was in Boston. Bostonians
borrowed 3,930,O68 books from their
public libraries in 1929 and $780,
600, an increase of 1868, 1892, in 1882.
The biggest increase figured on a
percentage basis was in Hammond
Ind, where book borrowing in
creased from 328,739 to 900 900. or
lib per cent.

fOSLEM FEAST
JF RAMADAN ON;
TOLAST MONTH
Turkey ResCinds Ban on
Prayers. in Old Arabic
Language.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
ISTANBUL, Turkey, Dec. 81
The ancient feast of Ramadan, one
Of the five pillars Of absolute re-
quirement in the Mohammedan
faith, opened as the moon appeared
in the eastern sky Thursday night
. without the need Of the faithful
changing their prayers from the
traditional Arabic to Turkish.
From the citys many mosques
the chant of Allah Akberl" struck
the ears Of the faithful as it has
for many centuries. 1t was not
"Tanri Uludur!" as decreed by Mus
tapha Renal Turkeys strong
man." who is seeking TO change
the age-old traditions Of his people.
At the last minute the govern
ment informed the muezzins, or
prayer-callers, that they might be-
gin the feast with Arabic prayers.
The decision was made because the
faithful have been unable to learn
the Koran in Turkish so far.
Prayers in Arabic
The turbaned preachers, cross
legged on chairs inlaid with mother
of-pearl, delivered their festival SER
mons in Turkish, with their listen
ers gathered about them on prayer
rugs. The prayers themselves were
uttered in Arabic.
Ramadan will last month, and
1t is required that the worshippers
engage in absolute fasting from
dawn to nightfall.
The koran DEGREES that each day
of fasting shall extend from the
time when a white thread can be
distinguished from a black one, and
until nightfall."
Mustapha Renal, who has west
ernized the clothing, alphabet and
social customs of his people, is I'M
dertaking for the first time this
year to teach them to have a re-
lgious speech of their own.
His decision has been looked upon
with apprehension in many quar-
ters.
Government Determined
Both the prayer-calIers and
chanters have complained that they
have not had enough time to sub
stitute Turkish words for the soft,
liquid tones of their familiar Arabic
But the government, though a
respite has been granted, apparently
is determined to effect the reform,
since many novice muezzins and
chanters are being trained, to sup
plant the older leaders if they rebel.
Mustapha Renal has carried
modernization of ancient religious
forms even further.
Musicians of the Istanbul Con-
servatoire have been ordered to set
the chants and prayers to modern
music and Turkish national airs.
1t will be a difficult task for them,
for they must invent something
that will retain the oriental motif
of the liturgy.
