Auto Speed Curb
Inks the French

PARIS. April 10 G.N.SJ.-The
French are angry because certain
authorities want to limit the legal
speed of automobiles.
And. much to the surprise of
every foreigner, fatal accidents in
Paris have actually decreased in
the past seven years although the
number of automobiles has in
creased. The French. like the
Italians, drive at a speed and ap-
parent recklessness that terrifies
an American visitor. Yet here are
the fatal accident figures as COM
piled by the chief of police: For
the year 1880, $50: for the year
1885, 231: and for the year 1887,

Ancient Blow
Whistle Used 10000
Years Ago

CHICAGO, April 10 G.NSO.-A
20,000-year-old whistle fashioned
from an animals perforated leg
bone, possibly used by prehistoric
traffic cops, is an exhibit in the
Hall of the Stone Age in Field
Museum here.
But the evidence of early mans
attempts to make himself heard
at great distances is not unique.
I'm Europe as far back as 10000
years ago prehistoric man made
whistles and flutes from leg bones
Of geese, swans, eagles, chamois
and reindeer" declares DR.. Harry
Field, curator of physical anthro-
pology at the museum.
Even a lions discarded molar
is known to have been pressed
into service as a flute in Czecho-
SloVakia, DR.. Field adds.

that his figures contemplated
relief expenditures only up to
next February / and left moth
ing at all for relief for the last
five months of his 15-month
period.
The President got his 11a-bil-
1ion.dollar figure by the dipsy-
doodle method, this way:
AS the budget already carries
one billion dollars for relief, he
figured only the additional in
crease Of $3.50, 100000 as needed
new money. That may or may
not be, but he also proposed that
Che entire $1,250,00O,000 be
spent before next February /.
The Washington times., 1938-04-18
What Is Total Cost?

MOST obvious bump in the
AVA whole business is the in
calcuable total amount involved.
The President neglected to men,
ton a total either in his mes
sage or his radio address. Twen-
ty-four hours after the program
was made public, the news-men
here were still trying to find out
what the total was.
For instance, Harry Hopkins
was cornered coming out of the
White House and asked private
ly to lend his assistance in
Strengthening the matter out,
but all he added was confusion.
Hopkins claimed the Presi-
dent did not mean it when he
said in one part of the message
that he proposed to have PWA
spend $3.50 100000 and lend
another billion. Hopkins
thought the billion included the
$3.50, 00O, 900 as indicated by the
President in another part of the
message.
AS a result some papers were
calling it q program of more
than $4,000, 900 900: some said
$4,000, 00C, 900; others said &c..
900, 900, 900.
AS near as can be calculated
unofficially, the total seems to
be 81, 962 ,OOO, 600 (if Harry Hop
kins is wrong) plus the heavy
interest cost to the Treasury on
free loans to States and other
incalculable interest on the
new money"
AS the amazed Senator King
told his comrades: THE Presi-
dent did not pull a rabbit out
of the hat this time. It's a wolf"
Line Forms on Right
THE inside attitude in Con-
= gress is fully disclosed in a
telegram which one Representa-
tive wired back to every news
paper in his district Immediately
after the message was delivered.
It read:
Loans without interest or IS
per cent grants seem reasonably
certain. I suggest that applica-
ton for these funds be placed
in proper condition ready for
early submission when the law
is enacted. The amount avail
able will be limited.
1.-The first ones will have a
great advantage. Please let me
help expedite applications from
my district"
The line at the gravy bowl is
already forming on the right.
The Washington times., 1938-04-18
May Need Four Billions

A T the contemplated rate of
IA relief expenditure, he would
need 5000 ,OOO,0 more for the
remainder of the fiscal year,
which means simply that he
slipped up in calculating needed
new money by that amount. BY
his own figures, his new
money" need will be So, $50, 000,-
600 at least.
But this is not all. His figur.
ing left out 100000, 900 which
the Housing Administration is
to raise for slums clearance
lending and another ~ billions
the RFC will raise for its lend
ing either directly or through
the Treasury.
Thus the amount of new
money actually to be raised may
really be $3.50, 900 900, or nearly
three times the figure men,
toned.
Nevertheless there seems to be
some remaining beauty in the
idea of spending and lending
say, 5 or 6 billions at a cost
Of only 4 billions-until you
look at it up close.
Ordinarily when money is
spent, somebody pays, and pays
it all. School children here have
always been taught that, since
the beginning of time, no one
could spend money without
first having it. Even in infla-
ton, printing press money gets
its value by robbing value from
money in circulation. Houdini
never got around that. Accord
ing to the economists, Mr.. Roose-
welt can not either. To them
the gold liberalization device is
an optical illusion.

JACK BROUGHTON. who held the
world championship longer than
any other man. is considered the
father Of boxing" Broughton won
the championship in 1884 and emerged
the victor In all other bouts up to
1850
Prior to Broughton's reign there were
no rules covering boxing, other than
those laid down by James Figg. the
first English champion. Figg insisted
on the contestants battling without
rest, until a definite winner was estab-
lished
In 1743 Broughton introduced the
London prize ring rules Under these
regulations a round ended when a
fighter was thrown. knocked or fell to
the ground, being allowed 80 seconds
to recover. For over 100 years Brough-
tons precepts were accepted, being
finally supplanted by the Marquis Of
Queensberry rules.
In all of his bouts Broughton was
backed by the Duke of Cumberland, so
when the champ was matched with q
butcher named Jack Slack, an appar-
emily easy mark, the duke wagered
many thousands of pounds on his pro-
tege. But no sooner had the fight
started than the mighty butcher man
aged to put over hefty wallop that
broke Broughton's nose and blinded
him as we'll.

West opened the nine of hearts.
Dummy played small and East won
with the queen. East now returned his
top spade. declarer playing the queen
and West winning with the king. West
now played another small heart. which
dummy won with the ace. A low club
was now led from dummy. East
ducked, and Miss Bonwit won with the
king.
The normal order now would have
been to play the king Of diamonds and
finesse for the diamond queen. East,
however, was very fine duplicate
player and Miss Bonwit figured that
unless he had held some stopper in
the diamond suit. he would have won
the club trick with the ace, in order to
lead another spade in an attempt to
set the contract. Therefore, she placed
the queen Of diamonds in East's hand
and made the following brilliant play.
She led a small diamond from the
king and flnessed the eight in dummy.
East was unable to resist this and took
the diamond queen. East now led the
second round Of spades, and declarer
won with the ace.
Thus Miss Bonwit held the defend
ing side to two heart tricks, q diamond
and . club trick, and made her con-
tract Of three no trump. VESTS open
ing lead was very fine. The normal
opening Of spade would have enabled
Miss Bonwit to make her contract
without any difficulty.

fullback about yards behind the
center. After being received from
the center, the ball must be passed
at least once before the line of
scrimmage is crossed, and it must be
a complete pass, either a lateral or
forward. Getting rid of the ball on
spinner or Statue of Liberty, while
permissible, does not constitute q
pass.
All players are eligible to receive
passes, which may be shot any
where up to the line of scrimmage
and are not restricted to 5 yards
behind it, as in high school or college
football. This and other passing
regulations give the game much
more action, and when a good, we'll
drilled team is handling the ball the
game resembles at times a passing
practice in basket ball.
Scoring Slightly Different.
The scoring also is slightly differ
ent. A touchdown counts the regu-
lar 6 points, but field goal is worth
4. The after touchdown conversion,
if kicked, is 2 points. and on a pass
or rush l point is credited.

in Washington. has a squad of Is

st. AIbons> Friends in First
6-Mon Grid Game Here

On Tuesday, November %, two
days before Thanksgiving, Washing
ton will get glimpse of its first
6man team football game when
Friends School plays st. Adams.
The abbreviated game, designed
for schools with small enrollments
and light players, is new here, but
in the Midwest, especially in Mime
sofa. where it originated, it has been
popular for several years. At least
40 teams were organized in Minne-
sofa this year, and Detroit is expert
menting with 8-man teams.
Wannan Is Pioneer.
The first local team was organized
this fall by Charles (Pop) Wannan,
coach at Friends School. Last Sat-
urday it played Woodberry Forest,
and this Saturday meets the Locust
Valley Academy at Long Island in
preparation for the ST. Adams game.
The rules in 6-man football are
somewhat different from those Of
the regular 11man game and make
for faster, more open play. 1t is SO
fast and open, in fact. that a Is
yard gain is necessary for a first
down instead of 10. The game is
played on a field 80 yards long and
40 yards wide.
Three players are on the line, a
center and two guards. Various for
nations are used in the backfield,
but the most common is a quarter
back directly behind the center, a
wingback out on either side, and a

Interhigh Teams Vie.

A new, streamlined type OF pro-
fessional basket ball will be viewed
here for the first time on December
l, when the Heurich Brewers play
their first home game as hosts to the
Jersey Reds.
Several rule changes since last
season have been designed to speed
action. The game no longer is
divided into halves. three 15-mmute
thirds being substituted with s.
minute rest periods sandwiched be-
tween. In. the last 5 minutes of
play the center jump is permitted
and time out is taken out for all
lapses, such as putting the ball into
play after the shooting of field and
foul goals Also the team in possess
sion Of the ball must bring it past
center within 10 seconds or sur
render it.
Blocking and screening are illegal.
The pivot play is de-emphasized in
that it is not permitted to shoot
from pivot and the man handling
the ball on pivot must release it
within three seconds. The double
dribble with both hands is per-
mitted in the front court with the
proviso that the dribbler either must
move forward or diagonally.. These
and other changes in regulations
since league ball last was seen in
Washington with the Washington

Heurichs yesterday by John j.
