The Jeffra-Sicilia fight was
costly to the club and the cham
pion. The club "lost money" and
you can take Ahearn'S figures for
that statement. Jeffra is winging
along the air lanes bound for
Mexico City, where he fights
Baby Pancho on New Year Day,
nursing a badly cut eye. Jeffra
had three stitches taken in his
wound.
Jeffra and Stella did one con-
structive bit for boxing even if
the Job was costly. Stella prof
tied despite his defeat, for he will
be seen here more than once.
The fury of the battle vindicated
Goldie Ahearn, who said from the
start that Stella might upset the
dope and outpoint the champion.
It was only in the last three
rounds of the battle that Jeftra
established himself as victor.
Washington is hoodoo city to
Jeffra. The first time he boxed
here he broke an ankle which put
him out of commission for some
time. The next time he broke
his right hand and that Shelved
him for a considerable period. And
on Monday came the gashed eye
on the eve of an important inter
national glove fight.
Small wonder then, that Jeffra
stood in mid-ring after the fight
and said:
What do I have to do in Wash

hurt?"
Jeffra had something more diff.

battle.

Bill Morrell
:Topnotch
Scorer
By GARRETT WATERS

Maybe the Bethesdans should be
figured, too.
We're speaking of Bethesda
Chevy Chase High and its teams
in sports.
The boys have had their
moments each year but "all" has
passed unnoticed, in a sense, be-
cause of local interhigh activities,
But you can't overlook a school
and it's teams when it is contin'
ually brought home that athletics
are enjoying boom days. Right
now it's basketball. In past sea
sons it's been baseball and track
Still another season it's been
soccer (They don't have foot
ball at Bethesda.)
BEAT EASTERN
Yesterday the basketball team
jumped into the spotlight again
It defeated Eastern High, figured
to be a power in this years ainter
high series, in a 35-to-15 game at
Bethesda.
Bill Morrell, forward, was the
star. The youngster couldn't be
stopped. He passed and cut. He
was in all the scrambles for the
ball off the blackboard. In short
he was the whole show yesterday
-Morrell totaleo II points, more
than enough to win single-handec
for Bethesda. Eight of these
points were bell-ringing baskets
The other was a successful toss
from the 15-foot mark.
PROVES HANDICAP
Eastern played without three ot
its regulars, Lee LuSby, Russ Lom
hardy and Ralph Matera. Thi.
proved quite a handicap, but il
gave Coach Charlie "The Chief
Guyon the chancu to look ovel

games yesterday. The Raiders de
feated Montgomery-Blair u to II
at Roosevelt, while Woodrow vii

High 36 to II at Wilson. Boil
Robertson, with 6 points, anc
Charles Findley, with 16, were
the respective stars.

Simplicity
Is Taught
Smartness of Today
Acquired by Being
Neat and Trim.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THE woman of the year has taught
us that smartness and simplicity
70 hand in hand. Artists concede
that she is not, by all orthodox
standards, beauty. Her features
are far from perfection. Yet she has
about her an air that many a
beauty contest winner would envy.
Her perfect grooming has won the
praise OF all who have seen her. Her
serene charm has been the subject
Of many story. But the particular
quality OF "smartness' that she has
achieved makes her decidedly dis
tinctive. And that smartness is born
of simplicity.
Recently I read sketch of Mrs.
Simpson. I gathered from it that
hers is the type of loveliness that is
cultivated and carefully tended. She
is always tidy, neat, immaculate. That

And In the pictures you've seen
OF her -. even in newspaper prints

haven't you sensed that her hair is
sleek and shiny and smooth and high
| lighted?
Her now famous coiffure. with its
center part, is simple almost to the
point of severity. Yet, by contrast
to the waves and curls and rolls the
world is wearing, that coiffure singles
her out, makes her distinctive.
True, not every one can wear the
center part, because it does call atten-
ton to a large or badly shaped nose,
1t does emphasize lack of symmetry
between the right and left sides of the
face, it does throw the features into
relief and makes the face look wider

with fairly good features and fairly
slender build as we'll as oval face
should adopt the center part.
The same neat. trim, simple smart
ness is carried over to her clothes, and
her infinite variety as we'll as distinc-
tive taste is again apparent. Ap-
proprlateness seems to be her forte.

WHEN a girl wants q match some
unconventional men airily toss it
at her. Sometimes they even flip it.
And that, to the average girl, Is
enough to send her into panic. She
knows she can't catch things, even
when she tries. And experience tells
her that anything thrown at her is
going to hit her in the face.
Consequently she jumps and loses
her balance and drops the matches
and breaks her cigarette. It's all very
trying.
Well allow q man a few times a
day when he can forget to light a
girls cigarette for her. But throwing
matches -.
Still, no matter how much you
disapprove, it's a situation you have
to meet now and again, if you're a
girl who uses matches. Perhaps you
should meet it by practicing catch
with the boys in the vacant lot during
the noon hour. But better yet, sit for
few minutes each day in front of
the mirror and throw matches at your
reflection. Try to keep from jumping
and sustain blase countenance
Then you can pull the act on your
boy friend the next time he throws
matches at you. When he finds he
can't get a rise out of you we'll wager
that he'll give up his little match

been reared in an the culture and
refinement Of that leisurely age.
WOMENLIKE, many Of the now
celebrated immigrants had
packed a panniered gown, flower
streWn and lace trimmed, among more
practical belongings, and it is said
that at times they put on their flnery
to revive their dropping spirits. Tales
trickled back to the struggling re-
public over the line-mostly via travel
ing peddler-of a fine gathered lady
grandly dressed, but housed in rude
log cabin.
During the Summers Of 1888 and
1884 there were gala balls held in a
number Of Eastern Canadian cities
to commemorate the coming Of the
Loyalists hundred and fifty years
before. Period costume was worn al
all these functions, and in more than
one instance greatgreat-grand-
danes gown was displayed by proud
descendant!
Although there had been Loyalist
migration from the early years of the
Revolution, 1t vas not till the Summer
of 1888 that the real exodus took place
Sailings were made from New York,
Tory stronghold all through the war,
and according to old newspapers of the
time the British transport Cyrus made
several voyages between May and
October. Her muster-book shows the
figure I, II or III after the name of
each passenger, but it is not to be
confused with GLASS as we understand
the term. Indeed, the Cyrus must
have been the original monoclass-the
only concern being over age for ration
ing. Adults over 21 were in class l,
class II denoted ages between 10 and
81 and class III took in those under
! 10. Full, two-thirds and half allow
ance was allotted to members Of the
respective classes.
To the Loyalists the British Gov
, ernment displayed degree of pater-
nifty unusual in these ante-N. R. A.
days. In addition to land, his
majesty's faithful subjects received
one years provisions or its equivalent
in money, supply of warm clothing
and medicines to tide them over the
| first Winter. Of course, framing reg
ulations was one thing and carrying
| them out another, and in many cases
there was delay in the payment of
grants and much consequent distress
The hardships, however, are things of
long ago, and the Loyalists of today
are fortunate in living, as well as
fostering a legend.
1t is their declared aim "to per-
petuate the achievements of their an
| cestors, to project their traditions,
their courage and their vision into
| present-day life'-a goal worthy OF
the pioneers who left such a splendid
/ heritage to the land of their adoption.

Wedding
Problems
SOL e d
BY EMILY POST.

D1 LMILI POSI.
YEAR MRS. POST: We can invite
only about so people to our we'd
ding at home, and most of these are
friends to whom it will seem perfect
ly natural for me to write personal
notes OF invitation. However, I sup
pose a bride must be beset by some
confusing problem, and in my case
1t concerns the three of four perfect
strangers who are to be invited from
my flance's office. To me a personal
note to these people seems out of
place, and after tearing up a dozen
attempts at composing one that might
seem suitable, I've decided to ask you
what to do.
Answer: Either write letter in the
second person and say. for instance
Dear Mrs. Employer: AS you proba bly,
know, Jim Blake and I are to be mar
ried on (and say where and at what
time) and We both hope you and Mr.
Employer will be with us on that
day." Or, if you don't want to write
this, then write the invitation in the
third person, following the conven-
tional engraved form. like the first
one better because second person
invitation from the bride is the most
flattering type of invitation possible
to receive. But the formal third
person wording Is equally proper if
you prefer it.
YEAR MRS. POST: Perhaps there
is nothing seriously wrong in a
person going to wedding at the
church without an invitation, but !
would like to know especially whether
1t is considered proper to take such
liberty. A friend who has an invita-
tion to a wedding is trying to per-
suade me to go with rer-without an
invitation-and I'm afraid others may
criticize.
Answer: It would not be considered
improper to go to q large church
wedding with friend who is in turn
an intimate friend of the family OF
either the bride or bridegroom. In
fact, If cards of admission are not
asked for at the door, the church
is supposed to be open to all corners
You would. Of course. not think OF
going to the house without an invi-
tation. Nor would you 60 to a very
small wedding in church to which
invitations are not general. Further
more, if the friend you 60 with /,
