CLEVELAND DENTISTS HIT
CEDAR YMCA SECRETARY
FOR PATRONIZING WHITE

CLEVELAND {ANP) Because
his wife, Mrs. Della S. Frye, pa
tronized white dentists to the exclu-
sion of her own group, Capt. Chas
Frye, executive secretary Of the
Cedar branch YMCA, has incurred
the wrath of the Forest City Dental
association, which has met monthly
at the YMCA for two years. It is
understood his removal will be asked
An investigating committee re-
ported to special meeting Of the
dentists on what is called boycott
of Capt. Frye's own group" The
association believes that inasmuch as
it has dentists as fully qualified as
any others, and Capt. Frye is lead
er in racial activities, this action by
Mrs. Frye is "a typical illustration of
those who move in high circles but
distrust their own.''
The association said that while
little is cared about who either Capt.
or Mrs. Frye selected for their own
personal professional work, it has
reason to fear that their promin-
ent contact with the public and the
youthful personnel Of the Cedar Y
is detrimental to the interests of Ne
gro professional men, since it follows
that these leaders are unlikely to
recommend their own group if they
themselves are unwilling to patron

During the last two weeks We have
had stories about Roman generals,
rulers and poets. There is much
more to be told about olden Roman
customs, and today I am going to
give q few paragraphs from the
leaflet prepared about Rome some
time ago. 1t Is called Rome and
the Olden Romans" and runs, in
part, as follows:
Roman boys and girls who reached
the age of z were believed to be old
enough to start their primary school
work. They learned reading, writ
ing and arithmetic. The teacher
read sentences aloud, and the pupils
pronounced them after him. Wooden
boards covered with wax were used
for writing.
The teacher "flrst traced with q
stylus the letters that served as a

with his own until the child learned
to form the letters"
The stylus" was q wooden Or
metal rod, usually S or 8 inches long,
with SHARP end which was used
to make marks In the wax surface
of the tablet. Each stylus had a
blunt end which could be used for
"erasing."
Double tablets, which would fold
together, were popular. Older boys
and girls learned to write with pen
and ink. The pens we're pieces of
reed, pointed at one end, and the
writing was done on sheets of "papy-
rus" the form Of paper which had
been invented in Egypt.

Clever Defense

Would you like to be the South
player in the hand shown below,
playing a contract Of four hearts?
In fact. would you like to wager
that you could make this contract
against any defense? Well. ordi-
narily, we would like to take half
of your bet, but Charles Lochridse
managed to think up a very in
genious defense to defeat the con-
tract. And now as to what hap

Mr.. Lochridge flrst tried to shut
his opponents out with . pre-
emptive three-spade bid, and when
this failed he turned his attention
to beating four hearts. He opened
the king of spades. When his part
ner signaled with the nine, Mr..
Lochridge was torn between two
fires. Obviously. his partner held
the ace. and thus 1t was quite
feasible that If he now played his
singleton diamond he might later
be able to place his partner on lead
with the ace of spades and receive
a diamond ruff. Against this, Mr..
Lochridge was afraid that a dia-
mond lead at this point might give
declarer the opportunity to discard
his remaining spade on dummy's
club suit. And this would have
turned out to be the case.
Mr.. Lochridge's alternate defense.
which he now put into operation.
was to follow with the queen Of
spades and then play third round.
For convenience declarer ruf1ed the
last spade in his hand, then played
the king of hearts (the 10 would
have been more deceptive). Mr..
Lochridge won with the ace and
now led q fourth spade and his
partner, giving full cooperation,
trumped with the heart eight.
East's useless" trump had saved
the day, for it forced one of de-
clarer's three remaining honors. and
Mr.. Lochridge was then able to win
another trick in trumps.

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 26.
Following indictment E. j. Gray,
former Montgomery county build
ing inspector, on a charge of en-
bezzling $71O in county funds the
grand jury considered similar
charges against other county of
ficialS.
States Attorney James H. Pugh
said Gray'S indictment followed
a thorough probe by auditors of
his oil burner permit account.
The probe was ordered by the
county following his indictment
on embezzlement charges last
October.
Dismissed by the board of
county commissioners following
his earlier indictment, Gray has
been at liberty under a $500 war
rant bond and $500 circuit court
bond. He faces trial at the spring
session of court scheduled to fol.

Pugh said the special audit dis
closed evidence of mishandling of
public funds in at least three
other county departments. He
added that the jury's findings in
these cases probably will not be
known until next week.
