more gadgets in aluminium than

is delicious and served with q

MRS. JIMMIE MORRIS, wife
4V1 of the Assistant Attorney
General, had the prettiest and
most entertaining guest, recent
ly. The guest was Knox Polk,
kinswoman of one time Presi-
dent James Polk of the United
States and though she had only
one day to spare, she insisted on
spending it in Washington with
Mrs. Morris.
Polk Knox is a typical South
ern belle with dark curling hair,
huge eyes and a fascinating leis-
urely manner. However, we SuS-
pect that she dropped their
leisurely manner before she
reached Washington, for she and
Mrs. Morris took off at 10:30 a.
m. and did the White House,
the Capitol, the Supreme Court,
the Archives Building and Folger
Library and the Smithsonian
and then-got Knox to the 4:30
train for her home in Tennessee.
There is a nice little story
back of Knox'S and Mrs.
Morris's friendship which doubt.
less, Mrs. Morris will beat
us for telling. But-when Polk
was running for the Presidency
and with quite some opposition,
Mrs. Morris's great grandfather,
one Eastman who was a pub
Usher of a large paper in Nash
vile, Tennessee, threw both his
and his papers support to him.
After Polk's arrival at the White
House, he offered Mr.. Eastman
any official position here, he
would wish and-like all news
papermen, he chose to continue
as he had begun--deep in print

THE Ambassador of Mexico
l. and Nine. Castillo Najera,
who have the most interesting
children, with each one a dis
tinct personality, were like faith
ers and mothers, the world over,
pleased with their progress at
school last year. There was only
one little disappointment.
Memo" the youngest of the
Najera children, who is so filled
with the joy of living that it is
hard at his 8 years to be serious,
was seemingly not in line for
any prize at his school. Nat
urally this worried Nine. Najera,
but only because she thought he
would be so disappointed and
feel bit left out. Well, the last
day of Memo's school, both the
Ambassador and Nine. Najera
waited for their youngest sons
return from school, with much
apprehension.
Imagine their surprise when
Memo arrived at the embassy,
in the best of spirits and sing
ing. Here" he said to his
mother, handing her a prettily
wrapped package, nobody else
in the French class did any bet
ter than I, so I got the first
prize" Well, one never knows,
which perhaps is Just as well.

chill, extreme difficulty in
breathing caused by mucous
forming in the wind pipe.
Usually the eyes are congested
and red and the patient is rest
less and sits on its launches in
an effort to breathe. Short
frequent coughs are also pre-
valent.
When any Of these symptoms
are noticed, it Is best to first
make a warm jacket for your
pet. This is a simple matter as
the jacket is easily made by
placing your dog in standing
position on some warm material
large enough to cover his entire
body.
Where his feet have been, cut
holes in a cast-aside blanket or
suitable scrap-bag article, then
pull the material around his
body, sewing it on the back. Al
ways be sure there is an abund-
ance of warm cloth kept on his
chest. This should not be
wrapped too tightly, as it will
tend to make it more difficult
for him to breathe.
When this initial phase Is
completed, cover your pet with a
blanket or rug and place him in
a warm, dry place where it will
be possible for him to obtain an
abundance Of pure, fresh air and
sunshine.
The next step is to call your
veterinarian who. after making
an examination, will prescribe
treatment for this dread disease,
which is often a source Of death
when contracted.

'TERPS APPEAR

powerful teatm in the making, and
perfectly capable Of pinning back
the University Of Maryland, in
their game at College Park to-
morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
nevertheless. will be on the short
end of the betting.
1t is highly improbable that
the Spider eleven will be able to
match the speed and trickery of
the Terapin backs throughout so
minutes of hard football.
MONDROFF ON SIDELINES
Coach Frank Dobson, of the Old
Line team, is fully convinced that
his team is in fine fettle for the
fray. Only one casualty has up
set the probable starting lineup.
In the informal Scrimmage with
George Washington at College
Park Wednesday, Pershing Mon
dorff, hard-hitting fullback, sus-
tanned a severe cut over his left
eye, neceSsitating several stitches.
In Pershing'S spot will be Johnny
Boyda, 188-pound veteran, who has
been battling on even terms with
Mondorff throughout the fall
drills.
One sophomore is groomed for
a starting post on the Old Line
team tomorrow. The lad is George
Glenger, a 200-pounder, who moves
in at right guard, in the spot left
vacant by the graduation of Mike
Surgent, the outstanding guard
in the history of Terrapin football.
The game marks the second
start of the season for Richmond,
who d defeated the Apprentice
School last week at Norfolk go.
Much interest in the game is
centered around Jumpin' Jim
Meade, voted the outstanding
player in the District college set
last season. Meade will be en-
barking on his final season of var
Slty play and is expected to turn
in his typical game.
LINE AVERAGES 185
Richmond's line will average in
theneighborhood of 1856 pounds.
Five Monogram men and two soph-
omore tackles are expected to take
the field. These tackles are Andy
Fronczak, 1876, who is regarded
by Coach eileen Thistlewaite as a
phenomenal prospect, and Hal
McVay, 226-pounder.
In its opener against Apprentice
last week, Richmond failed to
really open up its attack. After
pushing over its lone score, 1t
settled down and took matters
easy throughout the remaining
part Of the game.
Sparkling in the defeat Of Ap-
prentice was Capt. A. B. Mer-
chant, all-Virginia end last sea-
son, who may prove q decided bar.
rier against the Terps tomorrow.
Fortunately for Maryland, it Is
muc hbetter fixed for reserves
than the Old Dominion eleven.
Only two holdover lettermen of
last season are on hand for sub
stitute duty and, with the excep-
ton Of the two starting sophomore
tackles, the up-coming sophomores
are below par.
