Meaning that George Washing

into a dominating position among
the EaSt'S college baSketoau
teams.
Starting tonight with the West
minister game in the Tech High
gym, the Colonials face three
standout teams. Thursday, they
stack up against st. Johns Col

unbeaten Long Island University
Saturday.
In the latter contest, the Colo

carried over from last year.

Many local college basketball

belief that Georgetown will have

They are due for Q jolt. because

AFesmer Apprehensive
Freddy Mesmer, Georg e town
coach, doesn't think his boys win
have q cinch. Indeed, MeSmer
is greatly apprehensive as to the
outcome, knowing that past
records count naught when
Georgetown and Maryland meet
on the athletic battlefield. Tickets,
priced at 81, today were placed
on sale at A. G. Spalding & Bros,
TIT Fourteenth st. N. W., and the
Georgetown Athletic office.
However, Coach Burton Sh1pley
Of Maryland has temporarily dis
missed the Georgetown game as
the Old Liners have an tmpor-
tant engagement with Washing
ton College In CheStertown, Md,
tomorrow night. The Eastern
Shoremen lack their basketball
class Of q few years ago but they
still retain enough Of their old
power to make it uncomfortable
for opponents. The Old Liners
also meet another time-hOnored

THE BURDEN BEARER
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

When lifes burdens are so heavy,
And we cannot understand,
Christ is the burden bearer,
Holding in the hollow of His hand
Christ is the burden bearer;
Sweet peace within the soul.
Comfort to us always bringing,
When stormy pillows roll.
A task that everyone must face,
life that all must live;
Gods grace will be sufficient
Strength to overcome, He'll give.
We must do the right at cost,
And God will take care of all;
Help wherever we can on life's road,
Obeying the Masters call.
Speak words of encouragement as
you go;
Some are fighting big battles of life
There are many hard places along the
road,
Confusion, conflict and strife.

CHEVROLET SALES EXCEED
BOOM YEAR RECORDS

Records that have stood ever since
1929, when the automotive industry
enjoyed the greatest year in its his
tory, are being surpassed in 1885,
according to an analysis of Chevro-
let sales records announced by M. E..
Coyle, president and general man
ager.
Although the total sales for the
| industry as a whole are running be-
hind the peak year record Mr.. Coyle
pointed out that in three successive
months, March, April and May
Chevrolet's sales have exceeded the
| 1929 records for those months, and
set a new high record for any three
months period in the history of the
company.
On the basis of present prospects,
Mr.. Coyle said, Chevrolet dealers
should have 100000 retail sales to
their credit at the end of the five
months peak selling season from
March l through July 81, as COM
pared with $4,000 units sold in the
corresponding period in the COM
panys best previous year, 1929.
Mr. Coyle points out that in 1929,
when domestic, Canadian and export
sales of American motor cars APP
proximated 100000 units, Chevro-
let dealers delivered 100000 or more
units at retail each month for five
consecutive months. The greatest
number of sales for any month IN
that period was $4,000 units. This
year, at the end of May, Chevrolet
had exceeded this old record by
substantial margin for three conse-
cutive months-in March with 1861
119 units, in April with 134,431
units, and again in May with 1885
units.
Mr. Coyle attributed his company's
leadership in sales to two factors
the immediate acceptance by the pub
lie of the 1886 models following
their announcement, and the COM
pany's success in achieving manu-
featuring volume of 100000 units
month as early as November, and
maintaining this volume during six
months out of the last seven. The
early public acceptance caused q
steady countryside demand, the pro-
duction efficiency assured cars to
meet the demand, and the two fac
tors combined to result in record
breaking sales.

BEAUTIES OF HEAVEN
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

Fields that are always rich and green
Beauty no mortal eye has seen;
brightness to never grow
dim;
Beauties of Heaven, where there is
no sin.
Streams of love that will roll on for
ever
By Gods eternal white throne.
The choir of Heaven, music and sing
ing,
Some day will welcome US Home,
Perfection adorns that fair city,
The inhabitants never grow old.
God himself is the light and the glory
Not half has ever been told.
No sickness, no death over yonder;
No more burdens to carry or care.
All is life everlasting and beauty;
Gods great love is seen everywhere
His glory and love shines forever,
While eternal ages shall roll.
The beauty and grandeur of Heaven,
Blessed Homeland of. the soul.

TIME TO THIN FRUIT SPECIAL
IST ADVISES

The time for thinning fruit is just
after the June drop, according to A.
F. Vierheller, Specialist in Horticul-
ture for the University of Maryland
Extension Service. Because of light
er sets of fruit in some sections,
the amount of thinning to be done
this year, he states, will be largely
a matter of judgment ON the part of
the individual grower.
AS for reasons for thinning, Mr..
Vierheller points out that it removes
defective apples, lightens the load on
parts of the tree that are overloaded,
thus reducing tree breakage and
splitting, causes increased size Of
fruit, and may improve color. There
is evidence also that carly, heavy
thinning of apples on heavily loaded
trees will tend to influence biennial
bearing to certain degree and cause
trees to approach the habit of bear
ing rather good crops each year.
Mr.. Vierheller advises thinning
apples to about one fruit to fifty
leaves. This does not mean, he
says, that leaves must be counted,
but that the grower can estimate in
his own mind the approximate num-
Der of fruits to leave in relation to
the number of leaves on any particu-
lar branch. He suggests that a
simple method is to decide upon a
certain distance to be left between
fruits and try to thin to about that
distance. On some varieties, pos
sibly breaking of the fruit clusters,
leaving but one fruit per spur, will
be sufficient. This will help to in
crease fruit size and will prevent
some injury by codling moths, which
often do damage where two fruits
touch each other. Thinning may be
done with small thinning shears or
by swapping off the fruits at the
STEM
