Good punters are scarcer than ever, but this condition has been coming on for a number of years.
 There is a reason for 1t. Every thing can be traced to it's source, and the shortage of skillful kickers and the derath of topnotch base- ball players is due to the same cause-changes in the habits of small boys.
 A few years ago every kid had a bat, a baseball, and @ uniform of some sort. He knew how to hit behind the runner and hook slide in grammar school. Now, during the summer months, a great ma- jority of youngsters play soft ball or tennis, caddy, or go fishing.
 Young America forsook the so- called national pastime to such an alarming extent that the majors backed American Legion tourna- ments to encourage development of new talent. Major league clubs had to subsidize minor league outfits to keeu the structure of organized baseball intact, and to preserve some kind of a steady flow of ma terial.
 Why Is It Called Football?
 Kicking has suffered a similar de d Kicking has suffered similar decline. Small boys do not kick football as much as they did in the past. Observe any group of young football as much as they did in the

A'A COLIN, whom no one would sus-

detective and murder thrillers. the

her native Washington. She is just
beginning her tWentieth-Or maybe
It's her twenty-second mystery story,
which involves the murder of promi-
nent--but that wouldn't be fair to
tell
Being writer, Miss Lincoln is nat
urally very inquiring person and
conSultS her newspaper friends about
such little pleasantries as killings and
coroner juries and her professional
friends about the reactions Of strange
poiSons and germs. So no one Is ever
surprised at her questions.
1t might be said that the scene Of
her new thriller is laid in an old H
street residence in the block where
Miss Lincoln was born and reared.
There is need for telephone use in her
story. so she inquired from the local
telephone office if phones were in use
In Washington during the early sos,
the time her story takes place. The
answer she received was rather a sur
prise to her.
The first local telephone exchange
was established in 1878 with $50 sub
scribers. Miss Lincoln's father, the
late DR.. Nathan S. Lincoln, was No.
20 on the list and he kept the same
telephone number all his life.

Chevy Chase is one of the
loveliest locations in our beau
tiful city and well we might
boast if we are fortunate enough
to own a home in that vicinity.
A house I visited today is
worthy of our consideration.
Consisting of six large rooms
and two baths, it is extremely
well-built and planned. The ar
rangement of the bedrooms are
such that the two baths are di'
rectly accessible to all three.
The attic has been completely
finished and would make an
ideal play room or another bed
room. Equipped with oil heat,
I feel safe in recommending this
home as a real splendid value.

27O2 WISCONSIN AVENUE:
Here is a beautiful well-built
home consisting of nine rooms,
three baths and two lavatories
and it is surrounded by a gor-
geouS garden. The plan OF the
house was an exceptional one
as the architect who designed it
knew just how to make a home
exceedingly comfortable. The
floors are Of quartered oak and
that's something you rarely see
nowadays. The living room is
28x18, has an open fireplace
and built-in bookcases. Long
windows and panelled ceilings
make this room attractive. The
spacious dining room, With QUILT
in cupboard, has an arrange
ment of seven windows giving a
lovely view of the garden. The
master bedroom was the same
size as the living room and also
contained a fireplace and had
built-in drawers. Off this bed
room was a bath and the other
two bedrooms on this floor have
connecting bath. On the third
floor were two good size rooms
and another bath. Oil heat, ga
rage, maids room and lavatory
in the basement were some OF
the added attractions. In order
to really appreciate this home
and to realize it is a home one
seldom sees on the market, you
will have to inspect it yourself.
If interested in a real place, get
in touch with me and I will ar
range for inspection.
