Connubial Match.

bertsons, whatever their ace
king tabulation may or may not have
indicated, certainly had the gods Of
distribution on their side They made
six grand slams, three of which were
not bidable land incidentally were
not even bid to six. Two, comprising
IS tricks lay-down, were played at
six. The only one they bid just got
under the wire to net them 2,250
points Those days are now gone
forever. Mrs. Sims and I had two
grand slams and our batting aver
age was so per cent. One, the seven
club hand that all the newspapers
printed, was bid something must have
happened to the other one. 1t is a
spread for seven.
When we started playing under the
new scoring rules, the Culbertsons were
leading by 9,0O0-odd points. I'll stake
my reputation that without expect
ing the impossible from them, it
should have been at least 10000 points
Even allowing for our 1000 points

SaUed From, Sleep

Reich Invention Sounds
Horn When Thief
r. Uses Key.

Drowsy car drivers in Germany can
now buy a sleepproof device to pre-
vent them from snoozing at the wheel,
the Department of Commerce learned
today.
The device consists Of q false rim
or covering for the steering wheel
which is connected by electric wires
with the horn and ignition and ar
ranged in such a way that removal
Of pressure of the drivers hand on
the rim will instantly sound the horn
and shut-off the ignition.
The operation is based on the
assumption that drowsiness in the
driver relaxes the muscles of the
hands on the wheel. A switch is
provided to shut off the device In
case 1t Is not needed.
Manufacturers Of the instrument
claim it also can be used as safe
guard against theft. When set for
this purpose, the horn will sound i'm
mediately when the starter key Is put
into the ignition switch and the tsni-
tion win not function.

lines and crisp transparent
fabric present picturesque themes in
party clothes for the younger set.
That waistlines are simmer and
hips snakier Is evidenced by the grow
ing importance of spreading frou
frou at the shoulderline. If not actu-
ally more slender they are made to
appear so through the manipulation
of contrasting lines which in one
place are made wide so that by COM
parison others appear slim.
A charming example of what de-
signers are doing to enhance the fem
mime mode is shown in the accom-
panying sketch. The actual bodice is
fitted closely with darts near the
waistline. The shoulder seams are
slightly narrowed, so the double ruff
fles spread without dropping. The
neckline Is attractively shaped-low
enough for semi-f formal evenings and
high enough for midsummer after
moons. The skirt is becomingly f1ared
at the hemline with accents on fullness
placed at the centers where the mar
row gore spreads to considerable
width.
Flowers in novel formations are
among the prettiest touches noticed in
Summer clothes. On this model three
large gardenias, graduated in size,
glorify the front of the bodice The
smallest one measures the width of
the skirt-panel at the top. The

Whales Spouting Mystery.

1t is still doubtful whether the
whale Spouts vapor or water. There
is some contention that the animal
fills its lungs with air before making
descent. and when this is exhausted
1t comes to the surface and discharges
1t. There are others who quote the
laws of nature to disprove this and
claim that the whale accumulates
quantity Of oxygen to carry it through
the underwater descentS and that
the spouting consists of vapor and
water mixed. While the scientists are
debating, scme old sailor who has
served on whaling expeditions might
be able to enlighten them.

Riding and Polo Association at the
post horse show ring this afternoon

in the singles rankings though she
won the District title.
Reba admits unashamedly that
% summers have sun-tanned her
Gothic features.
She may never gain national
tennis recognition, but will al
ways rank high as a whole
hearted, wholesome human being.
Many Interests
Possessed of a quick, vigorous
mind she has many and varied
interests.
She has browsed among the
classics and can quote the pithiest
aphorisms of Voltaire, Madame
De Stael, George Sand and La
Rochefoucauld. At least, those
which concern women.
Last summer Reba thought ser
iously of teaching tennis, but
found she enjoyed the game toe
much to risk making a drudgery
out of it.
On the courts she never takes
false or unnecessary step, play
ing with masculine severity and
swiping at the bounding white
pellet with the effortless full swing
of a man.

Nobody could be more sincere
than Baer when he says that
he would like to fight any two

the same night. He says he
would fight Steve Hamas and

He'll do it. He'll do anything.
He is the only real gambling

Moreover, it's an idea. A
novelty. Fifteen-round bouts
are the limit in New York State.
But there is no law, so far as I
know. to prevent a fighter from
taking part in two 10.round
bouts. 1t is Max's idea that all
three contestants train for a
20-round fight and then flip q
coin to see which gets first

Eastern High, leading the schol-

Tech put up a great battle
against the Georgetown Frosh last
night, but the pace became too
terrific. Coach Boyd used his five
regulars throughout. For three
quarters these men carried the
battle to the collegians, but IN
the final quarter, the Hoyas put
on a rally which gave them their
margin of victory.
