Children Enjoy Talk
 By Maj. M0cfarland

Games of every description and coming from many lands were des- cribed in a lecture and demonstra- ton given by Major Alan A. Mac farland at the Women's Club on Saturday afternoon. The presenta- ton was sponsored by the Water bury Junior League as portion of their program for children.
 Major Mcfarland, who has been in young peoples organization work for 8 number of years and who has travelled all over the world studying the games children play, gave short illustrated lecture on games, then showed the boys and girls how to play many of them, allowing children in the audience to take part. He pointed out in his lecture that there is great simi- larity in childrens games, no mat ter whether you are in Lapland or England. Some form of the ball, he said, is the commoneSt game equipment, and in most of the games the element of competition comes in.
 A number of Chinese and Jap- anese games were demonstrated, several of them having as founda- tion the moving of some sort of ob- ject across clear space by flaming it. Major Macfarland taught the children number of games found in use in gymnasium programs in England and Germany. Nearly every child in the hall had an opportun- ity to take part in one game at least before the afternoon was over. The program was called "Playtime in Many Lands"

 East still held his four trump, but had no way of stopping South from making the ten, and thus cinching his contract. An unusual hand dis tribution was handled clevcrly by declarer.

Although East did not double, because South was in the only con- tract that he wanted to play, and he feared that a double would dis close his trump length and thus cost him trick, he was not to be blamed for feeling confident that he could defeat the contract.
 It seemed an absolute certainty when the dummy went down, showing the void in trump. He could not see any way by which South could prevent him from making four trump tricks. But many seemingly impossible things happen at the bridge table, and East found his

More than II, 900 motorists strand
ed on the highways through various
causes were assisted last year by the
Motor Patrol of the Keystone Auto
mobile Club of Maryland, according
to figures made public by Garrison P
Knox, Manager of the Club.
1.-THE work of the Patrol, now en-

to use it's services" said Mr.. Knox
1--WE are constantly receiving letter.
of praise from motorists who have
been assisted in embarrassing or
dangerous situations by the uniform
ed patrolmen, whose first-aid equip
ment is designed to cover every high
way emergency. All possible assis
lance Is rendered to motorists in dis
tress, without cent of cost to those
requiring aid. The promptness,
courtesy and efficiency of the patrol
men are a source of pride to the Key
stone organization, which was the
first automobile club in the United
States to create this type of highway
service"
In patrolling the highways in 1886
the Motor Patrol covered 100000
miles in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland and the District of Column
bia. In addition to rendering assis
lance, including first aid, to 1880
motorists the Patrolmen assisted To-
cal police, State Highway Patrols ano
State Police in the handling of traf-
ffic emergencies.
Every member of the Patrol is GER
titled to render First Aid in acct
dents. Bandages, splints, and Other
medical supplies are carried in the
equipment box of the motorcycles.
A complete set of tools for mechani-
cal first aid also is carried, together
with fire-fighting equipment ana

The outlook for Maryland tobacco
appears to be uncertain and to de-
pend upon the extent to which do
nestle consumption may increase to
compensate for losses in foreign
trade, according to Arthur B. Hamil-
ton, of the University of Maryland
Department of Agricultural Econom-
lcs. He points out that these losses
have been significant. Experts, which
averaged around 100000 pounds
annually during the five year period
1924 to 1928, averaged only 10000
900 pounds a year from 1929 to 1888
and dropped to 100000 pounds in
1885. While trade agreements have
helped materially, and an increase in
exports to around 100000 pounds
in 1886 seems probable, there is no
present indication that exports will
approach the 1924-2S level.
