ONE of those sees-all, imagineS-a-lot
~ Washingtonians has figured out
that a local family which owns big
automobile is living pretty miserably
until election day.
His deduction Is based upon the evil
dence offered by two plates, one on
each rear fender of the car. On the
drivers side, in other words, the
husbands, the plate voices a prefer
ence for Roosevelt, while that on the
right rear fender Is q Landon- Knox
plate.
One could assume that the couple
were great kidders, but the more cor
rect, II sadder, assumption Is that the
husband and wife no longer are see
ing eye-to-eye.
The same operative. q really OBJ
servant person, says he has yet to
see q Lemke sign or sticker on an au-
tomobile. From that, he deduces that
Lemke advocates do not have cars on
which to put stickers.
MORE STICKERS.
CAR stickers and plates, indeed,
seem to be much in the contem-
plative mind these days.
The owner Of one such mind looks
forward with terror to the day when
automobile owners will start using
their vehicles as billboards upon which
to voice all their preferences and
prejudices. He anticipates the day
for instance, when the citizens whose
cars voice q preference for cocktails
will decide TO ride down those whose
stickers proclaim q taste for tea.

Unusual Way With Three
Year Feat.
BY BILL DISMER, JR.


TWO ambitions idealistic TO the
average tennis player, but nor
NAL TO one whose recent ac-

on higher goals. surged through the
mind of Barney Welsh today as he
surveyed the last three rounds Of
the District of Columbia tournament.
Now in the quarter finals as re-
suit of the fourth default of the
tournament of a seeded foreign"
player yesterday, Barney calmly
awaited his match with Lieut. James
McCue, Navy Leech Cup player, the
first Of three obstacles remaining
within the path of his dual hopes Of
the next three days.
His twofold desire was:
l. His third championship Of the
District of Columbia tournament, CIV
ing him complete possession of the
Dumbarton Cup. which never has
been won permanently since put into
play. nearly decade ago. and
2. Completion of his third year in
the same tourney without losing a set.

THAT first objective is the only rea-
son why Welsh is here today in
stead of competing in the Kentucky
championships. boasting a classier
field. at Louisville. Because he thought
he could retire the Dumbarton Trophy

more than one leg on the priced award,

And if Toms crime is that he spent
