 Mrs. Lavenik concealed her in- tentions not at all, stepping out with 233 in the game of her Rob- in teams match against the Sky larks, to surpass all former efforts of her gender this season, and go- ing on to total 56l, also a supreme achievement among the ladies.
 While Mrs. Lavenik was having her fund, she led the Robins to two out of three game win over the Skylarks. Her 233 gave them an early edge, but Mrs. Percy Rey- holds staged gallant rally to cap ture the second counter for the Sky larks, then backslid to watch the Robins come through in the third engagement.

.1nHAE.

You expect any youngster bear ing the name of Walthour to be a fine bike rider. In the case of Jim- my Walthour you are 100 per cent right. Jimmy is one of the most promising young American riders. Last fall, teamed with Al Crossley, he won the 6-day bike race in Madison Square Garden. Walthour and Crossley formed the first Amer ican team to win in the famous sports arena since 1927.
 Jimmy is cousin of Bobby Wall thour, 6-day star half dozen years back, and the nephew of Bobbys father, known as the Dixie flier," one of the greats of 6-day riding a generation ago. Jimmy's dad, James ST., never attained the racing prom thence of his brother, Bob, but he did better than fair in vaudeville.
 The senior Jimmy Walthour and Mrs. Walthour had ari act that went over big. Dan Walthour would ride bike on home train CT and Jimmy's mother would ride a white horse on treadmill, and they raced each other. Later on, Bobby ST., and his wife took over the act.
 Father Trains Him
 Jimmy's father has been his train CT ever since the youngster took up bike racing as an amateur a dozen years ago. Jimmy, Sr.. is the boys companion at outdor races and in- door contests.
 After Jimmy won the amateur cycling championship of America in 1927 his father decided he was ready to pedal with the pros. In 1928 he joined the mercenaries. He won his first 6-day bike race the same year--something no other rider has been able to do. Jimmy has ridden on nine winning teams. Several successes have been with Crossley. The pair won 6-day races in Los Angeles. Pittsburgh and Tor onto before taking first in New York.
 Jimmy is just coming into his prime. He is 26 years old, weighs 150 pounds, stands 5 feet 6h in- ches. He was born at Eighth Ave- nue and 47th Street in New York City, stones throw from Madi- son Square Garden.
 "A Bicycle Built For Two
 Some of you old-timers recall the famous song line of a generation ago-"On a Bicycle Built For Two" We'll, that piece was written when Bobby Waltour, Sr.. at the peak of his popularity, eloped.

Ferns in Jamaica

Rotanists have classified over 500
varieties of ferns in Jamaica. Many
Of these are seen to best advantage
in Fern Gully, near the North Shore,
where ferns, ranging from the
smallest to, several species that
grow taller than n man, line the
sides of cool canyon. The road
winds through Fern Gully for sew
eral miles in a dense forest of
swcetwood and fgwood trees. Long
slender stems, known as "withs, )"
which bear tiny leaves and are elias
tic, stretching when touched, hang
from the graceful limbs of these
trees, and everywhere are ferns,

Within the very center of
the greatest Negro population
of the state, accessible through
every modern means of travel
and located beautifully on a
campus whose rolling hills give
the institution commanding
vantage is nestled Rluefield

With a climate unsurpassed
anywhere, the famous Billion

of Negroes families from this
area to draw upon for its exist

for this institution to grow
and keep abreast with the
other state schools in trying to
serve best the interest of this
vast population.
While other Negro Institut-
ions have actually grown with
leaps and bounds" poor Blue
field has had to flight" des-
rerately to exist. Intrigue has

institution anywhere to the
point of desperation as it has
and is today in the struggle of
this school to fulfill its miss

Before the days of Gov. Kump
when the Democratic Party
took over the state, all state
institutions were governed or
directed more or less through
the Advisory Council of state
Board of Control. the Board
of Public Board of Education.
1t was no easy work at that
time "to sell" Bluefield State

Youth seeking Il higher cdu-
cation because of the lack Of
interest and definite future
