example. ut might also put her
in competition with Jane With
ers, who is usually a scamp.)
She must never quarrel with
her parents, or be spoiled.
She can no longer associate
with gangsters or uncertain
characters.
She must be American.
She must have big problems to
solve.
Summed up, in the words Of
one Of the producers, "the little
girls hands must be on the
wheel (of the story all the
way"
Well, I think all of these rules
have been followed in Little
Miss Broadway" which I saw
pre-viewed last Saturday night.
And If I were to make any
prediction, 1t is that Shirley
Temple is growing up into the
greatest dancer the screen has
ever seen. And I still think she
is the greatest child actress that
has appeared in our times.

Holiday Trips
On Potomac

Those heat-weary souls who
won't be able to enjoy a Satur-
day-to- o-Tuesday-morning holiday
should be cheered by the news
that the Potomac River Line is
sponsoring a 140-mile saltwater
holiday cruise to Colonial Beach
on Sunday, July 3, and Monday,
July 4.
The S. S. Potomac will leave
from her docks at Seventh and
Water Streets Southwest at 9
a. m. on both days, returning to
Washington by 1870 p. m. Bath
ing, fishing and picnicking are
three of the more important &C
tivitieS offered, besides the
many attractions which annu-
ally draw many thousands to
Colonial Beach.
During the cruises, free dane
ing to Bernie Jarboe's sing
swinging night hawks continues
to be a star highlight.
Once at Colonial Beach, ar
rangementS can be made by
passengers to visit Wakefield,
the birthplace of George Wash
ington. Bus and steamer con.
nectionS are provided for by the
Potomac River Line to visit this
famous shrine of Americas il
1uStriouS patriot.
The S. S. Potomac also offers
the privilege Of an overnight
Stopover on Sundays cruise, al
lowing passengers to return to
Washington on Mondays ex-
curSion. So, for one day or
two, Washington may escape the
heat in this pleasant form of
holiday cruising.
Because of its popularity with
sun worshippers, the trip to
Colonial Beach will continue as
a regular weekly feature. Res
ervations can be made by calling

in order tha t both the sue cessful can

We think not. Fer Mr.. Lastner now

he stands not as pressure groups

THE WHY AND WHEREFORE


DR.. Linden S. Dodson has been rather
severely criticized by some of our citi-
zens for withdrawing from candidacy for
G. C. A. pres ident at the Of the
last election.
4 little more considerati On would
have changed the criticism to commend
alton.
1t seems that less than week be-
fore the date Of the election, DR.. Dod-
son along wi tn five other leading agr1-
cultural authorities Of the Universi ty
Of Maryland was appointed to q COM
mi ttee whose important work it is to
coordinate the Maryland five year agr1-
ultural plan wi tn the federal govern
ment Agri cul tural Ad justment Admins
trotion program.
The COMM tt 90 is sponsored jointly
by the University Of Maryland, the AAA,
and the Ma ryland State Governemtn. It's
success or failure will effect vitality
the welfare Of the agricul tural popu-
lation throughout the State Of Maryland.
Greenbelt is proud to see one OF It's
ci tizens take such prominent place IN
cove rnmental affairs, but realizes that
the re- pOns ibi tiles and duties assOc1-
ated with such honors absorb much time

finest performances of the year.

work, with Woodruff and Hight so

James was the only Scotland Neck
player to get more than one hit, gain
ing a single and a double, driving in

start, scoring two runs in the initial

The Bankers did the expected IN

Wal Street had little to offer agalns:
q superior team.
The Bankers led off with two runs
in the first inning, scored another IN
the fifth and three more IN the
sixth wien Red Duke slammed out
home run with two on. The Bank
ers added another in the seventh.
Wall Street got its only run IN the

four hits for the game. UeMay trip

The Bankers got ten hits off Lough-
lin.
Loughlin and Bits Watkins formed
the battery for Wall Street, while
Stainback and Weldon worked for
the Bankers.
Two unusual things happened dur
ing the contest.
Bob Falkner, first baseman for
Wall Street, did not have a fielding
chance during the entire seven in
nings nor was a single man thrown
out at first base, nor an attempt made
to catch a runner going to first.
The other unusual happening of the
contest was Tom Parham's lick to
short centerfield that would have been
a base knock to anyone, except Tom,
who was tossed out at first base base
by Howell Steed, short-fielder of the
Bankers.

Julian had come to the De Luxe at
2 o'clock, and had been waiting
there since. Once he came up to
the register and asked Laurie il
she thought Noel was going to
keep her engagement. She told
him that Noel had been there and
waited until 1870. Then Julian
said he had had an emergency but
he had asked Miss Chester to come
over at once and tell Noel that he
would join her at 2, if she wouldn't

CHAPTER SO


NOEL KNEW that doctors could
not be depended on to keep an en-
gagement right to the minute. She
had waited an hour for Julian, but
she intended to wait a while long
er. Something had delayed him,
but she still believed he would be
here.
Now and then Noel saw Laurie
cast an anxious eye at her. She
managed to smile back confidently.
But she wasn't feeling SO confident
after all, and she didn't intend to
wait more than a few minutes
longer.
She ordered cup Of coffee to
pass the time. It was very hot, so
she let it cool. But it hurt her
throat when she tried to swallow
it, and she finally pushed it away.
Noel couldn't help asking her.
self two questions: Wasn't Julian
coming at all? And if not, didn't
he have the decency to let her
know?
At last she couldn't stand it any
longer. She rose and went up to
the register, laying a nickel down
with her check.
Listen, Noel" Laurie said in a
low voice, "wait just little while
longer. Something's happened, but
he'll be here. I'm sure Of it."
Suddenly they both saw Ruth
Chester walking across the street.
She came into the cafe, looked
around, then saw Noel at the reg
lister. At once she walked over to
her.
Doctor Paige asked me to tell
you that he was very sorry but it
was impossible for him to keep his
engagement.
Noel looked at her coolly. did
he give any reason?"
Ruth Chester's dark broWs were
slightly elevated. ''No. he didn't.
He merely said to tell you he was
sorry"
THANK you very much, Miss
Chester" Noel said then.
Don't mention it," Ruth Chester
returned coolly as she turned and
went out, crossing the street again
to the Medical Arts.
"She might have added that the
pleasure was all hers',"' Laurie
scoffed. II know good and well
she never gave anybody a message
she enjoyed more"
Noel merely gave little shrug.
Guess I might as well be on my
way"
listen, Noel" Laurie said
earnestly, I'll bet you anything
that Doctor Paige asked her to let
you know fully an hour and q half
ago. He even may have asked her
to phone you before you left the
house."
"He may have" Noel answered.
It was entirely possible that Ruth
Chester had taken a malicious de-
light in letting her sit here and
wait for Julian SO long. Fl
