Lorratne'S rip-snortin', hell for
leather contender for bowling
laurels is none other than Lucille
Young. So far, Lorraine has
been able to nose out Lucille by
various margins, but the eagle
eyed brunette has been right back
of La GULL in the pay-off line.
The most thrilling episode in
the bitter rivalry between these
two came last January when Lor-
raine picked up los pins in the
last five boxes to beat Lucille by
six pins for The Washington
Times Ladies Dixie Sweepstakes
crown.
Dramatic Finish
1t was hailed as the most
dramatic finish in the annals of
duckpins. Only a month earlier,
GULL had put on a whirlwind fin
ish to beat Young out of the
Meyer Davis Sweepstakes honors
and this year Lucille again had
to be content with runnerup
money in the Meyer Davis Sweep
stakes.
But Lucille covered herself with
enough glory to wipe away her
many disappointments when she
captured the National All-Event
title at Hartford, Conn, with
record total, 1859, picking up
the National singles champion
ship en- route with a Alb set.
The rivalry has been a bit
cooled during the early part of
this season, due to a siege of ILL
ness suffered by Mrs. Young, but
she is rapidly regaining her
stride and expects to burst forth
in The Washington Times Ladies
Dixie Sweepstakes in the middle
of January.
Thus GULL. who three years
ago had to relinquish her United
States No. / pedestal to Ida Sim
mons, Norfolk's blonde, today is
fighting to retain her local high
position.
Pacini Going Good
Among the men, the war for
individual supremacy between
Astor Clarke, Ollie Pacini and
Joe Harrison. which has been
going on for five years, continues
unabated. All three are having
a brilliant year. Pacini is lead
ing the Baltimore Washington
League in averages with 125,
while Clarke is setting the Dis
trict League pace with a similar
figure and Joe Harrison boasts
125 averages in two leagues, Ross
lyn Independent and Recreation.
Pacini has a bit of an edge in
sweepstakes with two victories,
sharing The Washington Times
Coast Doubles with Ray Barnes,
of Baltimore, and capturing the
Maryland State Open. Clarke
had to share the Virginia North
Carolina honors with Russ Spill
man.
Clarke gained the Nations No.
/ ranking last year with Perce
Wolfe, fifth, Joe Freschi, sixth,
Joe Harrison, seventh, Ed Blake
ney, eighth. Pacini, going
through an Indifferent season,
was ranked eleventh, just ahead
of Paul Harrison.
GULL ranked next Ida Sim
mons. of Norfolk, nationally with
Lucille Young, third. Blanche
Wootton, of Rosslyn, Va, gained
eighth honors. Sweepstakes win

This is the season for scarlet fe-

reported for the week of March Z.
The influenza picture is about
what it has been for the last three
weeks. For the week ending March
7 there were 1920 cases reported.
This is nearly double the number
of cases for the corresponding week
last year and nearly three times
the average number OF cases re-
ported in the first week of March
for the last eight years.
Meningitis cases dropped from
BOT cases the week of Feb. % to 256

WASHINGTON, March 16.-An
Indiana delegation, headed by
Chairman John w. Wheeler of the

urged the Army Board of Engineers
for Rivers and Harbors to reverse
the unfavorable report of the dis
trict engineer on improvement of
Burns Ditch Harbor, near Valparaiso

The district engineers report re-
Jected the project on the grounds
that the prospective general pub
lie benefits are insufficient to iusti-
fy the cost of the improvement by
the United States so long as the
production of steel is we'll below the
capacity of existing plants"
The Indiana delegation submitted
data to controvert this point of
view. Following the hearings, the
board took under consideration new
evidence submitted and is expected
shortly to decide whether it will re-
ject or support the district engi-
neer's original report.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-A
move began in the Senate today
to coordinate the three branches
of United States armed forces
Army, Navy and air force-unde1
one head to be known as a Secre-
tary of National Defense.
Senator William King 3D., Utah)
said he would seek early considera-
ton of his bill setting up a co-ordi-
nator for Americas fighting forces
King said under his plan the exist
ing departments would be run by
assistant secretaries under head OF
the secretary. There would be added
Department of Air, which would
have complete control over all avia-
ton activities of the Federal gov
eminent.
Il think the government is at
fault in having SO many organiza-
tions engaged in the acquisition and
operation of airplanes," Senator
King said. IF we should pursue q
wise course, we would have one or
ganization. We can not develop q
scientific and properly co-ordinateo
system with half dozen organiza
lions engaged in the manufacture
or purchase of airplanes, either foi
peace or for war"
He pointed out that Great Brit
ain is bringing under one organiza-
ton all the forces which deal with

LONDON, March 16. -
France drafted a plan today
under which Germany's re-
occupation of the Rhineland
would be submitted to the
World Court at The Hague for
decision.
At the same time, Foreign Min
lister Pierre Etienne Flandin lined
up Russia, Spain and the Little
Entente-Rumania, Czechoslovakia
and Yugoslavia-to defeat the
councils acceptance of Hitler's de-
mand that his proposals for a new
European peace agreement be dis
cussed
French sources said one of the
conditions to be specified in the
plan which France will submit to
the council will be that Germany
and France both be required to
agree in advance to abide by The
Hague courts decision.
For instance, if the court de-
cides the Franco-Soviet pact OF
mutual assistance does not conflict
with the Locarno Treaty-which is
the reason Germany advanced for
denouncing the treaty-then Ger
many will be obliged to evacuate
the Rhineland.
If the court decides the pact vio-
lates the Locarno Treaty, France
would be obliged to change the
pact.

A picket line of $50 stretched in
