row when men and women teams
Of the Suburban Country Club of
Baltimore, invade for the first
part of thei: home-and-home
series.
The occasion marks the begin
ming of a golf rivalry that both
clubs hope will become yearly
affair.

champion; Melvin Kraft, Fulton
Brylawski. Gilbert Hahn, William
G.. Illch, Byron Ackerman. Rob-
ert Baum, DR.. S. Dewey Gottlieb,
Louis E. Harris, AL Steinem, Maui

Fair golfers who will repre-
sent Woodmont are Mrs. Jerome
s. Meyer. Miss Louise Baum, Miss
Bertha Israel, Mrs. Leonard B.
Schloss, Mrs. Ralph Goldsmith,
Mrs. Gilbert Hahn and Mrs.
Theodore Peyser.
Edmund I. Kaufman, member
Of Woodmont, has donated a
handsome cup for the mems
series, which must be won three
times before permanent posses

berg, another Woodmont mem

women'S competition.
The matches will be decided
upon the basis of nine points for
each fourSorne. Three points will
be - ored for the better ball for
18 holes with three points each
for every individual match for 18
holes.
Par Is WallOped
The boys who have been swing
ing clubs in the Maryland State
amateur golf championship over
the Indian Spring course gave
old man par more than a couple
of black eyes. They badly
crippled the old gent, Roger Pea
cock and Harry G.. Pitt, who were
clashing in the 36-hole finals
today, being the chief offenders.
The first day of match play
Pitt heavily attacked the old
gent and then Peacock came
back yesterday morning with a
smashing SO. three under par, to
add further abuse. But the chap
who suffered most literally from
this 68 was John Jankowski,
whose own par-equalling II left
him 4 down and 2 to play when
the sixteenth hole had, been
passed.
Any other time, Jankowskis
II would have brought him home
O winner but he ran afoul of
guy who was shooting sub-par
golf. Besides, Jankowski was 33,
two under par, to the turn and
vet was one down to Peacock.
Jankowski perhaps was wonder
ing what kind of golf it takes
to beat this Peacock youngster.
Pitt Avenges Defeat.
Pitt squared accounts with Dave
Crook, Rolling Road Club. who
had measured the Manor
Moose" in the Middle Atlantic
championship finals. Pitt turning
back the Baltimorean, 2 up, in
yesterdays semifinals. Peacock
turned the heat on a fellow
member, Louis Fuchs. and 2.
Fuchs was 2 up going to the
seventh but Peacock had evened
the score at the ninth and forged
to the front by taking the tenth
with par 4. He closed out
Fuchs with birdie 4 on the
long sixteenth. Both Peacock and
Fuchs played the first nine in
par 35's.
Young Maury Nee, of Colum-
bia, made gallant stand in his
morning match with Dave Crook
only to lose, / up. by three-put-
ting the final green. Nee stood
2 down and 4 to play but
birdied the fifteenth and six
teenth to square the match.
Then, Crook executed a miracle
shot from the seventeenth trap
to halve the hole in 3'S.

The Amazon Is the largest of all rivers

Rising in the Andes Mountains and
flowing clear across Brazil, it pours a

Another mighty river is the Congo,
which ranks second only to the Amazon

the leading river of Africa, but the
Nile has a greater length. If we do
not count the Missouri and the Missis-
sippi as single river, the Nile ranks
as the longest Of all rivers of the globe.
Geographers do not agree as to the
exact length OF either the Nile or the
Amazon, but an average Of their figures
would place the length of the Nile at
about 1000 miles and the length of the
Amazon at about $500 miles.

The bark IS brownish, rough and

There are people in the world who

Hindus look upon the Ganges as a

viewpoint that bathing helps keep them

On two tricks he can respond to this
invitation If his first one-over-one Is
a diamond, would bid two no trumps,
as now / mean to play the hand in
three no trumps. I must not bid three
Immediately, however unless he has al
ready passed, for that would be an in
sane slam try and hand with which,
though game Is probable, slam is unirn-
aginable except over a slam-trying re-
SponSe.
A Different Outlook.
Let us strengthen the hand very
slightly in one major suit holding, but
create weak spot in diamonds.
Hts. 4 Jx GA xxx
Now would bid no trump. I stand
to benefit enormously from the opening
lead in each of the three suits which
are likely to be led. If bid a club,
must fear that my partner will bid the
no trump and the hand will then be
ipso facto misbid. If there is no good
fit anywhere, our best game chances
are surely in no trumpS.
Over two diamonds I will bid two
no trumps and then rebid to three II
my partner rebids his suit. Over two
no trumps I will bid three without a
care in the world. NY clubs will then
do their deadly work in the play.
If my partner takes out in either
major suit, will bid three no trumps
to show good high-card support for his
suit, with encouragement for slam II
his values are not minimum.
If he has a fair five-card major suit
and his hand contains an ace and
about king and queen, one of them
in the suit he has bid, slam prospects
are very good ta) in no trumps If he
at any stage bids no trumps to show
some honor or protective cards in three
suits or (b) In his suit If he bids two
major suits, SO that there is an even
chance for slam if he holds singleton
diamond or the ace of diamonds is in
front of the king.
If your partner shows weakness by
consistently rebidding the same major
suit, take him to four in that suit. The
time factor will not favor the suit, of
which he probably lacks the high card
needed to make it solid. At worst, you
will have a heart finesse for game or
the chance that the ace of diamonds is
not over the king or that he holds
@ or K in clubs and can ruff out
that suit to obtain one or more discardS
in time.

Everyday Psychology
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Attention.

It is sometimes said that the science
of psychology has no real laws. To
great extent this Is true. But the hu-
man mind has its laws, which are as
infallible as the law of falling bodies.
Every mental process obeys some law
or combination of laws. To say that
psychology has no laws Is equivalent
to saying that the psychologists have
not yet discovered the laws which op-
crate in mental life.
The psychologists know few OF
these laws. Try one yourself. Select
any word in this article and focus
your entire attention upon it. Take
for example. the word ut" in the first
sentence. Now how long are you able
to keep your entire attention focused
upon this one word? If you can look
at this one word ana no other for a
period of three minutes you deserve
some sort Of medal
The plain fact is that you will find
that your eyes shift from word to word
in a most tantalizing fashion.
Next close your eyes and try to think
of the word st" and nothing else. You
will have the same experience.
That experience is this: Your at
tention tends to f1uctuate. Another way
to put 1t is to say that you attend from
things as well as to things. In fact,
you can say that you are attending to
one thing only so long as you are able
to attend from every other thing in
your world. This is the most funda-
mental of all the laws Of mental life.

I would bid q club. want to hear my

and will be glad for him to be declarer
in either of them. Whichever he bids,
my rebid is two no trumps.
Handling Various Responses.
II he rebids his suit, will take him
to four in it. With only one ace, can
give no slam encouragement unless he
makes a more. than minimum bid at
some stage. If he bids only a no trump
over my club, would bid only two no
trumps-a strong invitation to him to
rebid. Unless he has about two pri-
mary or secondary tricks for me, game
Is a sheer gamble. His no-trump re-
Spouse shows there is no long suit to
establish in his hand and my clubs are
not solid.

A MAN is hopeless If he does not
~ find in the months ON May and
~ June deeper pleasure in life.
1 \ Spring is the season of promise.
The woods and gardens, un-
concerned with any affairs but their
own, are declaring their determination
to make the world beautiful now and
both beautiful and fruitful in the days
to come. There is a Zest In the air
which quickens the step and heightens
the expectations.
Perhaps there may be something in
the ether itself, some ray as yet undis-
covered by science, which renders dim
culties less appalling and troubles less
alarming.
Even in the city where the flowers are
in parks, and the birds are mostly In
cages, people walk more briskly anu
think more hopefully than they do at
any other season of the year.
Whatever your occupation may be
you can follow 1t with more interest
when you look out Of the window or
walk through the country and see
Spring engaged on the great building
job that is to beautify the world now
later on.
If you live in the country or the
suburbs, you will keenly feel the call of
Spring, even though you are far from
the music of running brooks and bios
soming orchards.
If you live in the city you can find
renewed hope in the deeper blue Of the
sky and the warmth of the air.
Then 1t Is that the hurdy-gurdy men
come around, sure that the parents Of
the children to whom they supply dance
music will have few pennies for them.
Then it is that young men and old
feel new Zest for their jobs and more
determination to succeed in them.

Spring is the boom" time of the year,
the building time, the time when people
are at the top of their energies It is
the time of renewed courage and re-
newed hope
If it did not give us three bright
months to follow the leafless tree ones,
many people would find existence too
difficult to abide.
But it does come, as it will come as
long as the earth revolves, with a re-
newed pledge of the kindness of ProW-

happiness in the future. Enjoy 1t while
it is here.

The Old Gardener Says:
The wise garden maker Il ca

The wise garden maker IS care
ful to prune his early towering
shrubs as soon as they are
through blooming. provided such
pruning Is necessary. II he waits
until next Winter he will sacri-
nee many flowers. The pruning
Of shrubs consists Of thinning out
and removing some of the older
wood In order that the new
shoots may have a chance to de-
velop. It is the new shoots which
come along year after year that
produce the best Towering
branches. The gardener who
runs amuck with the pruning
shears at this season Is likely to
do more harm than good. Heavy
pruning Is injurious. The proper
plan Is to do a little cutting each
year, and in such a manner that
the natural growth of the speci-
men or group Is not spoiled. Old
canes should be removed where
they emerge from the ground.
Cutting OF the tops Of the
branches gives an unnatural and
trimmed appearance.

votes great amount Of money to the
prevention Of disease, advertises in the
medical and other journals that "dia-
to safely Gagged lion. Out of control,
it strikes with a lions speed and crush
ing power" that "the discovery OF in
sulin and its application to the treat
ment of diabetes is one Of the great
triumphs of medical science, and has
saved many thousands Of lives" The
statement continues:
"Insulin has not only rescued chill
dren who would have been doomed

grow, and to live the normal healthy
lives of their playfellows. 1t has pre-
vented chronic diabetes from being

How are you to know If you have
diabetes?
If you are putting on weight it would
be well to have test. In fact, every
body should be checked up once or
twice year.
Diabetes may be prevented by not
eating too much starchy food-sugar,

by taking regular daily exercise. Even
if diabetes does get foothold in the

proper diet, exercise and the use of
