If your idea Of a policeman is a man
who duly plods his appointed beat all
day thinking only of the time he will
be able to go home and rest his weary
feet, you should talk to Pvt. Howard
Wilson.
Pvt. Wilson is policeman-has
been for the past II years But for
only eight hours Of the day. during
which time he drives a patrol wagon
for the first precinct. Most of his other
waking moments are devoted to the
study and practice of art.
Water-color landscapes are his spe-
cial forte. The walls and attic of his
home at No. 2 Valley View avenue, Ia
koma Park. Md, are crowded with
evidence of his work. And excellent
work it is. too
Painting and police work are
strange bedfellows. you say? Mr..
Wilson has the answer. "A mans first
duty he says, lis to make a living.

ington in search Of work. Painting
was little more than secret ambition
then.
He was % and had a little training
in glass cutting, but he had 4 hard
time. However, he managed to feed,
clothe and house himself by working
at odd jobs here and in Baltimore.
In 1921 he was appointed to the
Metropolitan police force. As his Job
as patrolman gradually changed
from an adventure to work-a-day
existence, he found more time to
enjoy his idle moments. 1t was
then, he says, that he had an ir-
resistible urge to give expression to
his talent, although he would scarcely
have called 1t talent" at that time.
MY desire to paint is hard to put
into words" he apologies. 1T was as
II was fulfilling an inner need"
He chose landscaping, simply be-
cause he found better expression in
that field.
Then, too," he adds, II never
was much good at figure work"
As his painting progressed he be-

criticism. That was the nearest he
ever got to art school,
Mr.. Wilson Is modest. He insists
painting with him is only q hobby.
Only once did he get philosophic.
That was when he said, 80 many
people today have nothing to do
with their spare time. It's no won
der they take to drink and worse"
Last year he had the satisfaction
Of seeing his work on exhibition at
the National Education Association
The softness and harmony of his
colors caught the eye of many an
art connoisseur. That, and the en-
couragement Of experts who tell me
to go on with my painting, are SUI
ficient," he says.
This fall you may see him in nearby
Maryland or Virginia, busily sketchine
the outline Of some landscape, prob
ably along the old c. g. O. canal.
That Is his favorite subject.

WESTERN H|C HI
BOASTS STRONG
C RI D MACHINE
BY PAUL BEACH

Those gridiron exponents of the
high school series who automati-
cally pick their Tech or Central
for the title this year would do
well to adopt some such slogan as
"Don't sell Western short"
The Red Raiders, you see, are
going to have something that suspi-
ciously resembles a powerhouse.
Out of the 43 gridders who turned
out to gladden. the heart of Coacn
Dan Ahearn. six are returning
lettermen and those are bolstered
by quite few capable reserves.
STRONG LINE
Surveying the potentialities that
make the GeorgetownerS appear
such a potent aggregation, we
find that a strong 18O-pound line
is eminently capable of shielding
the antics of a fast, shifty 1885,
pound backfield opening holes for
them on offenSe and charging
through to break up enemy for
nations on defense.
George Barnes, varsity quarter
from last year, finds himself with
three running mates who were
reserves last season, namely,
Roddy Snow, Fred Stone and Ren
Lawrence. The last named, a good
blocking back, hasn't been out for
any drills yet due to a summer job,
but will swing into action tomor-
row. Another capable back who
will undoubtedly see plenty of
action is Buck Herrlein.
On the line, 81 "W" winners
fill both guard positions, both
tackle positions and one of the
end posts. They are George Pap
pas and Jack Neam, guards, the
latter converted from center; Joe
Viehmann and George Thomas,
tackles, and Tom O'Hanlon, end.
Frank Haring, promising re-
serve last season, has gained the
regular pivot post, and Ray Wrenn
fills the wing vacancy.
DYER, IGLESIAS BACK
Frank Dyer, talented booter,
and Eddie Iglesias, ace of the '37
junior varsity squad. are two back
field reserves who will make the
first Stringers buckle down in
order to hold their positions.
The only weakness apparent in
the Raider machine is the lack of
capable linemen. Alex DematatiS,
145-pound end who played with
the junior varsity two years ago,
may do something to offset this
weakness.
The Westerners will find ample
opportunity to use all of their
talents in their first two sched-
uled battles with st. Johns, on
September 30, and Central, Octo-
ber 4.

From Strike

Waukeepgan, Ill, Aug. 16.-(AP)-
Twenty thousand commuters, depriv-
ed of customary transportation to Chi
cago by an electric railroad strike,
scurried for other passenger service
today
A drizzling rain added to incon-
fence of these residents of a dozen
suburbs along the Lake Michigan
shore, who ordinarily use the Chicago
North Shore and Milwaukee railroad
It's service was suspended after
union employees voted to cease work
in protest against Is percent wage
cut order.
The Chicago & Northwestern and
the Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Paul &
Pacific steam roads suddenly acquir-
ed large share of the North Shore
line passengers. Greyhound Bus lines
also prepared to establish extra SER
vice to handle North Shore line Gus
toners.
All street car and bus service in
Waukeegan and street cars in North
Chicago, operated by the North Shore
line, were at a standstill. Waukeegan
is of $4,000 population, and North Chi
cago 1900.
Officials estimated the electric line
carries $4,000 passengers daily, and
that about 10000 are regular COM
muters to Chicago.

Forces Rejuvenated;
Conflicting Reports
on Both Sides

Hendaye France, Aug. 16-(APJ-
Spanish government and insurgent
war planes battled viciously today for
the upper hand in the ten-day battle
in the blistering Ebro valley of south
ern Catalonia.
Three apparently reorganized gov
eminent air squadrons not only met
insurgent planes on equal terms, but
adopted the insurgent tactics of bomb
ing and machine cunning troops on
the ground. In two days of battle with
an insurgent fleet of AZ German and
Italian-made craft, at least 81 planes
on both sides were reported shot
down.
Official dispatches from each fac
ton reported the other had lost many
planes, while minimizing it's own
losses In one battle, in which the
government maintained 81 insurgent
machines were downed and none of
it's own wrecked, the insurgents said
13 government planes were lost a.
gainst two of theirs.
It was notable, however, the gov
eminent reports were the first claims
of aerial victory to be made by the
government in many weeks.

Shanghai, Aug. 16.-(AP)-Chinese
General Chang Kai-Shek was reported
today to have massed 100000 men
around Hankow, his provisional cap
ital. toward which japanese have adj
vancad slowly since occupying Kill
kiang jay 26.
The outer fringers of the Hankow
defenses were challenged today by
Japanese units on exploratory drives
up both banks of the Yangtze river
Because the defenders expect the
most serious Japanese threat to be
along the south Yangtze river against
the Hankow-Canton railway line, ten
divisions placed between the Nan
chang railway and Hankow railway
were reinforced by three divisions of
Cantonese troops.
Besides these large scale prepara-
tions, a mobile army of 100000 Chi
nese is moving into the south bank
sector, causing optimism among the
defenders that the lines there will
withstand the Japanese thrust. See
saw battles ragged on both sides of
the Yangtze in the Kiukiang area
without major changes in positions
as the war entered its 4O5th day.
