He was q man Of one outstanding
achievement, which made him famous.
Yet he was a lawyer of ability in
Frederick, Md, and later a leading
barrister In Washington, a landed
proprietor, q poet. a lieutenant Of
artillery in the War Of 1872. He
was a poor soldier. He had for SO
long a time occupied high social
position that he could not ac-
cept military discipline seriously"
Mr.. Weybright says that he first dis
covered that there existed no full
length biography Of Francis Scott
Key when he was only 13 years old,
and was asked to accept on behalf Of
his little red school in KeySville q
spangled banner presented by pa
triotic society. and could find no book
to furnish him his appropriate re-
marks" Among the old men then
present some remembered Key, but
few had preserved stories about him.
The recollection Of this occasion lin
gered in Mr.. Weybrights mind, and
| six years ago. while strolling through
the orchard of Terra Rubra, the Key
family country seat in the MARYLAND
redlands. where Francis Scott Key was
born, he determined to write this
biography.
1t is an interesting and valuable
biography which, while narrating the
events Of Keys life, gives also a picture
OF life in Washington, Georgetown and
adjoining Maryland during the period
following the American Revolution,
ending with Keys death in 1843. A
good portion Of the book is appro-
priately devoted to the circumstances
OF the writing of ''The Star Spangled
Banner" The banner itself, made BY
Mrs. Mary Young Pickersgill for Fort
McHenry, was and probably still is
the largest battle flag ever flown. It
may still be seen in the Smithsonian
Institution at Washington, where it
Is preserved as q national souvenir. +"
IN August. 1914, after small British
force had sailed up the Potomac,
fought the scratch battle of Bladens-
burg against few thousand raw
militia troops and raided Washington.
burning the White House and the
Capitol, Baltimore became the next
object Of attack The raid of that
city was prevented by the vigorous de-
fense Of Fort McHenry. Key and
some companions, on board a small
cartel boat on which, under flag of
truce. they had visited the British
admiral's flagship in the bay, to secure
the release of DR.. Beanes, captured
by British soldiers at Upper Marl-
boro, witnessed the attack on Fort
McHenry. At dawn, on the morning
after the bombardment, when the
smoke had cleared away, Key saw the
big flag still flying and began to write
his poem. The tune to which
THE Star Spangled Banner" was
written was "Anacreon in Heaven" i"
which probably originated in the An
acreontic Musical Society Of London.
BY using it and thus violating all the
rules of song writing, Key wrote the
national anthem of his country. Z"
Though the quasi official national
anthem for many years, THE Star
Spangled Banner" was made the Off
cial national anthem by act of Con-
gress only in Hoover's administration.

THE FOUR HUNDRED MILLION. A
Short History of the Chinese. BY
Mary A. Nourse. Indianapolis:
The Bobbs- Merrill Co
A FTER years of residence in China,
Mary Nourse now teaches in
Washington. She is a sister Of Alice
Tisdale Hobart, author of River Su-
preme" and "Oil for the Lamps of
China" and in interest her history
of the Chinese people competes with
those two novels. She has inten-
tionally written popular history.
whose purpose is to answer the many
questions about Chinese life of the
past and present which arise in the
minds of inouiring people, and she
has stressed the life of the masses
rather than dynastic changes and
warfare. Having lived in the interior
of China, Travelled about in junks and
sedan chairs, visited in Chinese homes
of rich and poor, workers and officials,
old-fashioned people and moderns,
taught Chinese children in their own
language and in English. she Is quail
fed to write of the Chinese of today.
To this personal experience she has
added research in original source ma
terial in the Library Of Congress and
the Department Of Chinese, Columbia
University. An excellent photography
is supplied for those who wish to
follow her general history by further
reading. Her book is divided into four
parts: 'The Fixing of Custom" "Ex-
pansion and Intercourse" 1.-THE Shut
in Period" and Reform and Revolu-
ton" The narrative is sketchcd in
broad strokes, with the chief per-
sonages and events in high relief, with
emphasis en- economic and social
progress, industrial arts, literature,
religion and philosophy.
CHINA MAGNIFICENT. Five Thou
sand Years Of Chinese Art. BY
Dagny Carter. Illustrated. New
York: Reynal & Hitchcock.
IRON the "age Of magic and ritual" "
= approximately 5000 BIC. to 100
AID, through the "age of faith and
splendor, 100 to 1900 A.D., and the
"age Of artisans and traders" 1900 to
1910 AID, Dagny Carter traces the
remarkable development of Chinese
art, including sculpture, painting,
bronzes, pottery, metal work. printing,
porcelains, lacquer and architecture.
The authors aim is to show the de-
velopment and relationship between
Chinese art and thought. The volume
ends with the dramatic downfall Of
the Manchu dynasty in 1911, but Mr..
Carter does not imply that China's
artistic development came to an end
then. During a visit to China in
1882, he came to the conclusion
that Chinese art Is not dead, but Is
reborn. Like all Chinese life at the
present time, it is, however, so chaotic
that no prediction as to its future Is
possible. The illustrative plates, from
collections in museums and from the
authors own collection, add greatly
to the interest of the book.

THE LITTLE CANDLES BEAM. BY
Isa Glenn. New York: Doubleday,

&~OAoh ~ W.
I WING in Washington and knowing
it well, Miss Glenn finds it so
complex that many guides are needed
to thread its mazes. Into her story
Of Cecilia Masefield, widowed, loving
her son devotedly but struggling to
hold her lover, are woven the differ
ent strands of cave-dweller Washing
ton, diplomatic Washington, Army
and-Navy Washington and political
Washington. This background and
its clever handling will interest the
Washington reader even more than
the story itself, which is an interest,"
ing one. Cecilia was a cave dweller.
Alfred Orme was determined to marry
her, but realized her son Tommy as
rival and was jealous. She saw
Tommy as oncilable-Tommy
feeling that there was no place in
the world for him-Tommy drowning
himself in the Tidal Basin" Orme
tried to point out to her that Tommy
was an entity apart from her and
would probably prefer to live his own
life. but she took refuge in a panic
and he marveled that q woman so
small could be so stubborn. So Ce-
ella became q society radio reporter
and made a not-too-good income.
Her experiences give Miss Glenn op-
portunity for much satire on WASH
ington entertaining, gossip and the
trials Of social secretaries. In the
end, Cecilia, as is likely with fondly
foolish mothers, became the slave of
her unreasoning maternal devotion.
Tommy was not to blaine. He would
have been. with sensible mother, a
nice, normal boy. To retain her hold
over her son, Cecilia went back under
the domination of her mother and
the circle was complete. "She was
essentially maternal; and the mother
devours." Miss Glenn, the widow Of
q brigadier general, has previously
written several novels of the Orient,
which she knows through her expert
ences as an Army officers wife. The
most recent, and one Of the best, is

abck in the fold they are sure to go places. Here's hoping that Johnny hits his stride after the lay- off.
 Some one asked Al Scanziano when Christmas came and why he always looks for Santa Claus on the bowling alleys. Al replies that every bowling night should be Santa Claus night because I want my Comebacks to help me gather big scores.
 Some one was kidding Big Jim Polzella about his being so seri- ous and Jim asked the party to lay off him because he was out to break high single and we hope that he does.
 Will someone tell just why Al Mucci the Great Diplomat is al- ways ready to go home, especially when the boys like to have him stick around. Al is quite a hustler and can do a lot of work so let's ask Al to book 8 few match games for us so that we can get into the spirit of bowling. These matches create lot of friendly spirit and keeps all the bowlers stirred up.
 That is all for this week, but be careful boys we are watching you and anything you say or do will be said about you sooner or later.

ST. STAN TEAMS
 SPLIT VICTORIES
Boys Beat Terryville But Local Girls Lose By
 43-9 MOrjin

Terryville, Dec. 10.-The St. Casi- mfrs girls basketball team of this place continued their drive towards the leadership of the State Polish league by handing the St. Stanis- laus girls of Waterbury a 43-9 set- back at the Town Hall in a contest played before over 200 fans which packed every bit of available space in the small hall.
 The St. Casimir's girls led by the outstanding playing of Lucy Dziel- enski, with 28 points to her credit and the fine floor work of Miss Chmielewski who scored 13 points, the local girls were never in trou- ble.
 Miss Dzielenski, in three games played to date, has scored 58 points to lead the scorers in both the boys or girls league.
 While Miss DzieIenski and Miss Chmielewski stood out in the scor- ing, the playing of the other mem- bers of the team need credit. P. Victor the center of the visiting five lead her team in scoring with three points.
 In the main contest, the St. Stanislaus five continued their string over victories over Terryville, by handing the St. Casimir's five a 29-18 setback in a game that was packed full of thrills from the be- ginning to end. Boroway and Bogus, two Thomaston Ponies football players appeared in the Waterbury lineup with Boroway scoring 2 points and Bogus 4. Sczepherski, the visitors right forward scored 2 points while Menturak, the left for ward led his teams scoring with g points.
 Fritz Budd, showing his great form of two years ago led the To- calls in scoring with ten points while c. Burkowski had six points.
 With but a minute of play left to play, a free for all fight broke out in which Bogus was evicted from the contest.
 The St. Casimir's lives are slated to play the Rockville teams in Rockville, Dec. Is.

GreetingsI

Greetingsl
 Well, here we are boys, with our first attempt to tell you how it looks to the fans in the bleachers. We are getting late start, but that has reasons or its own; so don't worry.
 To start with, Frankie DiBiase, the ex-Leavenworth high luminary did himself proud with a three game total of 401 and high single of IA. This with the help of a few two filters. So think what he missed.
 And passing farther along Driscoll'S All-Stars went through their regularly weekly exercise of winning three games. Boy, what a crew of ringers the big cigar man has this year. Right now the writer claims they should finish first un- less they break leg or something. In swamping Hardy's hand-picked outfit, well it's just like having 8 beer. In fact Major" Driscoll should give cigars to any team that can take him over.
 Speaking of Stub" Hardy's team. It must have showed something aw- full in Newton over the week end. Otto Herman failing to put in ap- pearance. And as far Stubs" 298 pushing baby carriage uphill must be hard labor which makes one tired. Why not push the peram- bulator through the head pin m'lad.
 There seemed to be quite a few missing this week-What say, boys -how getting around-and on time. Aside to Butch" Divitc bowling starts at about 8:15 not 10:3O.
 Jumping Joe Devine the leagues master strategist seems to be hay ing tough time getting a winning team together. After losing 8 few games, and having 8 couple of men conviently quit, Joeie combed Brooklyn for material and finally made an appearance last Monday with a pair of ringers" namely Primo" Jamele and Saukas, re- putely a set of dangerous bowlers We shall report on this work later on. Another thing Joe-why not bowl yourself, a 101 average is far from 112. Maybe that would wir a few games.
 Talk about an anchor man fall. ing down. We'll lend an ear. Jirr Barrett going against Mike Higgis- ton in the last frame, fell to the floor and lolled about 8 la Mas Baer and lost the game by three pins. Such a business!
 A few sensations seen about:
 Joe Hench, the demon "fourtt Estator" keeps himself busy using all three balls allowed. Joe's south. paw roundhouse deliveries keep tht pins moving about, but-oh those spare leaves one would need a dog. en agates to egt rid of tenpins.
 By the way-do you know why the game consists of ten pins, no nine?

Italian Brotherhood Pin Notes

The boys are all excited over the previous writeups and are clamoring for more. We'll here goes boys, it's all in fun, first they pick on you and me.
 Mike Stolfi can't seem to get go- ing and the boys have been kidding him about his scores. But good natured Mike says that from Tuesday night on he is going to stick around and bowl a few ex- tra games SO that he will get back in top form. It's good idea Mike just keep on practising and you will get there.
 The boys have been kidding Pete Di Leo about having too much tur- key on Thanksgiving day but Pete denies saying that the reason he has been putting on a little weight is because he hasn't been trying to bowl too hard because the weather has been warm, but from now on Pete says just watch my smoke. In fact I stand ready to bowl Mike Stolfi series of three games for a good cigar. Place your bets boys.
 Our hats off to Anthony Lepore, true leader who always smiles the most when the boys show up and when they miss, well Anthony has a long face. Who can blame him when he tried so hard to make the league a real success. Just keep right on working as hard as ever and things will come out alright.
 The boys are all happy to see Smiling Johnny Di Leo back in the fold after a layoff of several weeks due to his having to work nights. The team will start right after the leaders and with smiling Johnny

 IN HOOP CONTEST
COIOniaIs and Eagles Also Paired on Basketball Bill Tonight

Two crucial games are on the table tonight for the North End "Y" in the second week of the 19S5- 1886 senior league basketball chase. The first game of the evening will have the Wolves, dark horses of the pennant fight and the Hillie Juniors. The rivalry between these two clubs dates back two years ago to the 1892 intermediate league championship and should provide 2, real tussle for the fans.
 Pete Toilette, former Leavenworth star, and one of his former teana- mates on last years Western Con- necticut high school champs, Duke Kransnovsky, will be all set to go for the Juniors along with Joe Slick" Rinaldi, Poulter, Aldirisio, Gunshannon, and Gambogi. Coach Jack Creaven of the Wolves intends to start the five men who opened, the Wolves campaign with a victory over the Highlanders last week.. Ricciuti, Kelley, Haiday, and the Leece brothers, Robbie and Babe, will form the lineup. Fred Jacovino will be the eleventh man on the floor.
 The other game brings together the Colonials and the Eagles, two old rivals. With large squad of veterans on hand, Coach Hennie Jacovino of the Eagles is contemp- lating starting his shock troops against the ColonialS. Gen Damello, playing coach of the Colonials, will play one forward berth with Ettore Spadola, Tom McHale, Shanney, and Frisbie occupying the other four berths. Fred Jacovino will toot the whistle in this contest also.

"Colombus" Colombe's famous side arm delivery netted him but 284 pins in this weeks session. With that delivery it's wonder he gets that many.
 Frankie Barnes has decided to bring in couple of basketballS on the spares where the pins stand up side by side. A much needed addi- tion to the game, he says.
