Thrown into the cold waters Of
the Potomac yesterday when the
City Of Washington excursion
boat rammed into his small sail
boat, Daniel r. Ayres, %, of 1928
Holbrook Ter. N. E., escaped with
nothing more than a chilly duck
ing and bump on his forehead.
Ayres was sailing his 11-foot
craft in the Washington Channel
between Hams Point and Anacos-
tia River during the races held by
the Potomac Sailing Association
when he crossed the bow of the
Wilson Line ship.
The City of Washington sig
nailed to the smaller boat several
times, according to Harbor Police
who witnessed the accident, but
Ayres was unable to change his
course when a gust of wind blew
him directly in the path of the
ship.
He was pulled from the water
into a launch manned by Harbor
Policemen C. R. Spring and C. A.
Parker, who were cruising nearby.

NEW YORK, May 16.-Oh, me.
Christmas has come and gone.
That's how I felt this morning,
when the breakfast was brought
up for Betty and me and the last
day of our stay in New York had
finally arrived.
I could sleep for a week. We
have an appointment with John
Powers today, and I hope if Mr..
Powers detects just the trace of
a circle around my eyes, he'll
understand a girl must make some
sacrifice if she's expected to do the
town as we've been doing it.
A few hours now and the plane
will be circlipg over the airport
at Washington. It will be nice to
see Hams Point from the air-but
bicycling around it isn't going to
be the fun it was after riding
around New York in Winchell's
police car.

1T impreSses me wonderfully!
We have been three days in New

Betty again took the micro
phone to say:
"Oh, I was born in Washing

mother and my 17-year-old
brother"
Are you engaged?"
No, Mr.. Johnson"
why not call me ParkS?"

Tell me, is all this glamor

and are you supposed to go,
Cinderella-like, back to an office

weeks ago Walter Winchell
quoted an anonymous editor as
saying there were no beautiful

thousand girls there and half a
million friends protested that
Winchell was wrong to print
such a canard and the Washing
