The $4,000 license fee, which
Prince Georges County will exact,
probably will mean that Jimmy's
will have q monopoly. Few book
makers have that size bankroll.
Jimmy once furnished fleet
of cars for his customers use, but
if race track betting becomes law
ful the establishment probably will
run full time, as the politicians
will not interfere, and all that it
will need Is several more acres for

New Bladensburg Road.

New Bladensburg Road.
THERE is much agitation now
about the congestion at Peace
Cross in Bladensburg. Motorists
returning late from Bowie have
to go at a snail's pace for miles
on account Of the trafic on the
main highway.
It is estimated that to build .
circumferential highway that would
relieve the congestion would cost
$4,000, and the Maryland State
Roads Commission has the plan
under consideration. It Is strongly
backed by the Keystone Automobile
Club.
II Jimmy's Is licensed, the place
had better get its Road Committee
together early, for the one road
that it now owns will not accom-
modate the traf11c.
Some day the Bowie track peo-
pie will realize the value Of .
good roes, and there will be one
built from the main thoroughfare
to the track.
With the increasing crowds and
50 much motor trafnc, no better
investment could be made than
a smooth, wide road from the
highway to the race course. It
would make motoring to Bowie .
real pleasure.

Hints Court May Not Rule On New
 Pension Law
Justice Stone Indicates Fri bunal Does Not lave Jur-
 isdiction at This Time

WASHINGTON, May 5.--Justice Harlan Fiske Stone indicated today, during arguments before the Su- preme Court on the constitutional ity of old age pension provisions of the Social Security Act, that he doubted whether the tribunal had jurisdiction to consider the legis- lation at this time.
 Robert Jackson, Assistant Attor- ney General, explained that the De- partment of Justice would waive the question of jurisdiction in an effort to obtain a quick ruling on the law | Questioned by Justice Stone. who frequently has voted to uphold the Administration laws, Jackson said a suit was started by George Davis, stockholder of the Edison Illumin- ating Company of Boston, to re- strain the company from paying tax levies under the Social Secur- ] fly Act. Justice Stone asked whether it would not be better to let the company pay the tax and then at tempt to compel it to sue for re- covery of the money.
 Had not an imperative political situation faced us, we probably ] would have taken different po- sition," Jackson said.
 l The Justice stated the Govern ment usually argued in tax eases that the levy be paid and then suit 1 instituted to recover.

Carry of 352 Yards

Poe's most recent accomplish ment-during the winter when the air was heavy-was a 352-yard carry on the eighth hole of the Hillandale golf course where his father, w Henry Poe, is pro. There was a slight following wind. I might ex- plain that this 352-yarder q meas ured the distance with a steel tape) left him exactly seven feet from the cup He got an eagle two.
 His drives = without a helping wind average consistently from 26O to 280 yards on the carry.
 Poe gets his amazing distance through rhythm and not from sheer power In this, he differs from Thompson and Johnny Bulla, the Chicago clouter He tends to be more accurate with his shots.
 The lad plans to follow the win ter circut next year, so you will be hearing a lot of him. He'll do all right, too"
 At least, we can't say that Ted Mann failed to warn us.
 Picard Adds Sl,347
 Henry Picard, by way of showing that the P.G.A made no mistake in nominating him for place on the Ryder Cup team, stepped out and won the Charleston Open just about the last stop of the winter golf circuit.
 Winning the Charleston is ID new stunt for Picard. The Hershey, Pa. pro has taken the event three times running. That is just dandy with the home folks, who regard Henry as local rSoduct. Picard of Charleston, added S1 ,347 to his winter earnings to bring his total up to s5.583, and to take second place behind Harry Cooper, whc had s7,2O4 to show for his swing around the circuit.

of the Spirit of God he feels as though
he is walking with God in Eden's
fragrant vale. The reason for this
is that this divine control has been
preceded by a full yielding of ones
life unto the will of God
When ones life is under Divine
Control there is excluded that harrow
ing wretchedness and fearful nervous
strain that has wrecked so many souls.
There is excluded those many fear
devils and worry-devils and hurry
devils that chase and torment one
who is driven by excessive ambition.
Of course, Divine guidance does
not excuse Gods man from careless
ness, watchfulness, responsibilities,
and constant endeavor at self-im-
provement.
Yet when one is fully yielded up to
Gods larger purpose for one-life, then
that selfish, ambitious temper and
tension that wrecks the nerves, stirs
up hell, and drives away sleep is for
ever gone.
Gods man sleeps at night with a
smile on his face.
