SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Big Consideration.
From earliest dawn till the close of the
day
There's a topic that never relaxes;
The thing about which We must all
have our say
Is taxes
The statesmen use words that are
reaching the heart,
Politicians are grinding their axes.
1T" stood, when it gave Independence
a start
For taxes.
The orators speak and musicians draw
nigh
With trap drums and banjos and
ssxes
The theme is the same through the
years that roll by
Just taxes.

roughly.
The gentle process consists in put
ting o pinch or two OF baccy into the
bottom and then smoking 1t. The next
time the pipe Is smoked the smoker
starts of with the bottom OF his pipe
charred He now puts in twice as much
tobacco as before, and smokes 1t all
up. In this way the beginning OF the
cake" is carried progressively up the
bowl by easy stages.
THE rough method consists simply of
filling 'er to the brim and 50 smoking.
1t is heroic, but effective. Templeton
Jones decided upon this method. He
was heroic.
This big pipe held at least an ounce
of tobacco Gargantuan corn had been
grown somewhere. and from its cobs
had come this breed of mighty pipes,
fit for Wagnerian heroes.
Where did you get that pipe?"
Such was the standard question which
greeted Jones everywhere.
Where did you get that pipe?"
The first few puffS were very fine.
The first few puffs are always very
fine. One school of pipe smokers holds
that only the first 10 puffs are worth
while.
Another school contends that the
only way to smoke q pipe is to MI 1t to
the brim and smoke 1t to the last shred
of tobacco.
Adherents Of the former assert that
after the first 10 or dozen puffs, the
tobacco becomes soggy and rancid.
Those who belong to the "smoke-it-
to-the last" school declare that It takes
a real man to smoke pipe down to
h. kAtA ttlnf htIt snoI
should smoke pipes and that If one
cannot smoke it to the bottom he had
better stick to cigarettes.
Adherents of the "10-puff" school
reply to this structure by contending
that no matter how much of a man
one may be. the full flavor of the to-
bacco vanishes after the initial puffs,
and that from then on one Is merely
making ones throat dry and tongue
sore.
At the twentieth puff Templeton
Jones began to wish he hadn't.
He was not becoming i'll, Of course
one doesn't do that after the corn
silk days-but he heartily wished that
the bowl did not look as big around
nor so far to the bottom.
How is she going?" asked friend,

at the end Of the first hour.
"Great"
Jones wouldn't have admitted that
the big pipe was getting tiresome by
this time.
Jones wouldn't have been human If
he had admitted that his head was
going round.
Not sick. really. but just his head
going around
At the end of the second hour, he
found 1t expedient to 90 out for
bit of fresh air.
The big pipe was sending up clouds
of smoke by this time belching them
forth with all the gusto of liners
stack.
The fresh air felt good on Temple
ton Jones fevered brow
No, he wasn't bit sick-but he felt
rather queer.
On the way back to his ONCE
friend inquired solicitously after hiS
health.
Never felt better" replied Jones.
the pipe before the astounded eyes of
the world.
Pretty big pipe you have there"
said the other, eying it critically.
Jones looked very appraisingly into
the bowl and noted that at least two
more hours worth of smoking tobacco
reposed unsmoldered in that capacious
hold.
"As sweet as a nut" said he. letting
go the pillar and making for the ele-
vator.
And the smoke trailed behind him.

JEWISH COURT I
TEAM SEEKS
LAURELS
By SID KATZNELL

For years the Jewish Com
munity Center has had crack
basketball team, but never has
a championship been won.
Under the guidance of Dave
Keppel, who is known to every
basketball player and follower in
the city, the Kosher" boys ex-
pect to win the unlimited cham
pionship of the A. A. U. this
year.
Keppel has practically the
same roster that weathered the
storm so successfully in past A.
A. U. tournaments. He has taught
the lads a few tricks in profes-
sional basketball which he be-
lieves will aid them no little.
The Jewish team has won five
games and lost none to date. The
Palace and Fort washington ag-
gregations have been among those
defeated.
Sunday the Keppelmen engage
their toughest foe Of the season
in the Knights of Columbus at
the Silver Spring Armory at 2
o'clock. The game will be the
preliminary to the Vic's-Easton
tilt at 3 o'clock.
Dave will use the following
lineup: Les Sigman and Levin,
forwards: Milton Sigman, center;
and Hirch and Wallenstein,
guards.
CRUDE to Appear
A few items about the Vic's-
Easton game. Frank CRUDE, first
string catcher of the Chicago
White Sox of the American
League, is the playing manager of
the Easton Pros.
Basketball is not new to CRUDE.
He played with Lafayette College
in 1925-6-7. At that time he was
considered one of the best guards
in the East.
His greatest achievement was
when he held the great Joe
Schaff, of Penn, the leading
scorer of the East, to three points.
Some of the other members
of merit on the team are Pete
Collins, Roy Mckee, Fred Hart,
Bud Ross, Horace CRUDE, a
brother of Frank, and Elmer
link. The mentioned players all
performed with various college
teams of the East.
Foster Matthias who has done
some fine work for the Mt.
Rainier Boys Club, has formed a
basketball team and is seeking
games with leading 130-pound
fives. The Athlisos are' especially
challenged. Call Greenwood 1886.

BEACH BECOMES
PRO GOLF HEAD

Ralph Beach, pro at the Sub
urban Club of Baltimore, has
automatically succeeded to the
presidency of the Middle Atlantic
Professional Golfers Association.
Beach, former pro at the Burn
ing Tree Club here, was vice
president last year. The retiring
president is J. Munro Hunter,
whose term as pro at the Indian

Other officers elected were
Robert T. Barnett, Chevy Chase
Club, first vice president; Glenn
Spencer, Maryland Country Club.
second vice president; Warner
Mather. Woodholme, secretary,
and Carroll T. McMasters, Roll
ing Road, treasurer.
The association, which held
it's first meeting and golf tourna-
ment at the Manor Club yester-
day, disapproved professionals
seeking jobs of others, and ruled
that members must also be mem
bers of the national P. G. A.
Glenn Spencer captured first
place in the 18-hole sweepstakes
which preceded the meeting, Scor-
ing 73 over the par II course.
Scoring was difficult because of
frozen greens, Mather taking four
puts after reaching the par S,

Ready Money Here

A big wrestling house in
Gotham. for instance, is $4,000
spectators. Yet Washington,
one-eighth the population OF
New York, often puts 1000 in
the Auditorium to witness
wrestling. Economic conditions
are largely responsible for such
a comparison, the Federal
city being less affected by
hard times than any city in
the country because of the
Semimonthly Government paw
days which keep a constant
circulation of money here.
Many have inquired from time
70 time. how long this wrestling
craze is to continue. We should
say it will continue for some
time it the interests keep i'm
porting new faces, such as Pi-
netzki, Grobmeier and Lewis.
Fresh talent nationally inter
mingled with the best of the
old guard has been largely re-
Sponsible for America keeping
It's wrestling appetite.
Too, the low estate to which
The box fighting industry has
fallen has made a fertile field
for the wrestlers, who have
FALLEN upon golden days such
as they never dreamed might
be theirs.
However, here in Washington
'ooth sports are enjoying quite a
