.LUDKE DELAYS
CUSTER APPEAL
in SCHOOL CASE
Two Similar Cases Up In
Supreme Court

OXON HILL, Nd, Aug. II.
August A. Ludke's fight for the
reinstatement of his six children
in public schools of Prince Georges
county probably will not be carried
to the Maryland Court Of Appeals.
Edmund D. Campbell. Washing
ton attorney, who is handling the
case Of the Ludke children, ousted
from school last year because they
refused to salute the flag, said
Ludke has decided to let the case
drop temporarily.
CASES PENDING
There are similar cases from
two States, Massachusetts, and
New Jersey, pending before the
Supreme Court of the United
States, and since they involve all
the principals questioned in the
Maryland case, Mr.. Ludke expects
to wait until the higher court rules
on the other cases. His decision
to drop the appeal is not yet final,
however, Campbell said.
The six children, all members
of a religious sect known as
Jehovah's Witnesses, were expelled
from the Oxon Hill Consolidated
School last summer when it be-
came known that they had con-
Sistently refused to salute the flag
in daily patriotic exercises.
Mr.. Ludke, an employee of the
Washington post office, later peti.
toned the county circuit court for
a writ of mandamus to reinstate
his children in school and to force
the county school board to show
cause why they should not be
permanently reinStated.
REFUSED SALUTE
Upon the decision of the circuit
court. rejecting the petition for
the writ, Mr.. Ludke announced
that he would appeal to the Mary
land Court of Appeals.
Since their custer last July, the
six children have been receiving
their education at home. with
their parents and older brothers
and sisters serving as instructors
The children said they refused
to salute the flag because such
exercises are a recognition of q
higher authority than God anc
contrary to their belief.

= He explains that he has met
many a young lady who has said
that she didn't like it and couldn't
stand it, but he had yet to find
one who did not exclaim about the
flavor of the dishes he prepared
with it. Those are his words, so I
cannot vouch for them. But they
all can't be wrong, and here are
some of the ideas.
= DEFINITE AIM
: Most of these gourmet cooks
, who jealousy say that their cook
ing is an art, would never think
of serving the garlic with the
dish. That would be sacrilege.
It is the flavor only that Is
needed, so they cut the Glove OF
garlic, rub it on the bowl or
across the surface Of the food and
then toss the Glove away. This
gives the Elusive flavor that al
ways raises the question in the
minds of those more naive who
admire and never analyze.
The proper use of garlic in salad
brings up a wide disagreement.
One group uses the cut Glove OF
garlic in rubbing well the bowls
in which the salad is to be made.
Others use the garlic in preparing
the salad dressing. In this case
the crushed garlic is added before
shaking and carefully removed be-
fore the dressing is poured over
the salad. One famous chef even

Learn How to

Nearly all of the modern girls
and boys know at least little
about swimming, and many of the
grown-ups are past masters at the
sport. We should know how to
swim enough to take care Of our.
selves in any emergency, if we in
tend to go in at all, and it is so
easy to learn if you will just start.
The best way to go about it is
to have a few lessons first, and
then you will find it less difficult
and will have nothing to unlearn
when you are progressing.
There are always swimming
schools and tanks accessible to
every location, and good swim.

ing something of the rules.
Start now to gain confidence in
the water and, when the time
comes for your vacation or week
ends, you will be gliding through
the water with ease.
Besides all the advantages swim
ming offers, there is no better
exercise for real grace and keeping
the figure Svelte and lovely, and
every girl looks well in the water.
It is flattering to the skin and
keeps one supple, so there will be
no inclination to give UP the
activities of youth.
Good swimmers always wear
wool suits for real swimming.
Keep your fancy silk or rubber
ones for the beach and for fancy
diving, but the wool will help to
avoid cramps and chillS.
When it is possible to go in with
class, do so, as it will relieve
fear. Joining hands while stand
ing in the shallow water is good
plan, and, while in this secure po-
Sition, Stoop down and put the
face in the water, then out. Take
a breath and turn the face down
again and exhale under water; re-
peat this a number Of times, and
it will soon give you confidence to
stretch out and float.
You breathe naturally while
floating, and begin either on the
back or with the face in the water.
When floating on the back, do
not bend the head forward, but
keep it back so the ears are under
water.

add some medals to your trophies.
