Thanksgiving Day services will

Golden Text is from Thessalon-
ians: Rejoice evermore. Pray
without ceasing In every thing
give thanks: for this is the will
of God in Christ Jesus concerning
vou." 4i
Among the Bible citations in the
Lesson Sermon are these verses
from the Psalms: 20 give thanks
unto the LORD: call upon his name:
make known his deeds among the
people" Serve the LORD with
gladness: come before his presence
with singing. Know ye that the
LORD he is God: it is he that
hath made us, and not we our
selves: we are his people, and the
sheep of his pasture. Enter into his
gates with thanksgiving, and into
his courts with praise: be thankful
unto him, and bless his name. For
the LORD is good: his mercy is
everlasting; and his truth endureth
to all generations,
The Lesson Sermon presents also
these. words from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy: Gratitude
is much more than a verbal ex-
preston of thanks. Action express
es more gratitude than speech :.
What we most need is the prayer
of fervent desire for growth in
grace, expressed in patience, meek
ness, love, and good deeds"

ity will be afforded Christian Scierlt-

A Week in Sports

With the about at end, and Southern
California cinch for the Rose Bowl, Ohio State,
Texas ALL, Cornell, and Eissouri sporting
shiny football crowns.
Ohio State backed into the Big Ten Championsh
when unexpected upset occurred in the Northwest
Iowa tie, and Cornell whipped Pennsylvania for
the East's unofficial award. Cornell tagged the team
without star, should be labelled the team of all
stars. lot single player stood out above another
but still could find any spot in the Cornell
array which weak.issouri took the Big Six Title
and Duke the Southern Conference with well earned
victories. Texas A. & A., although idle, won the
Southwest Conference by virtue of Southern Eethod
ist's unexpected victory Baylor.
This week is wind-up week, and in the East Army
meets Navy at Philadelphia in the game Of the week,
regardless of past records. Boston College takes
Holy Cross, Fordam meets New York University,
Stanford travels 5000 miles to tackle Dartmouth. In
the Southwest, Texas plays the Texas Aggies and
Baylor meets Rice Southern lifornia, which di S.
played enough power for a couple Of teams against
Notre Dame, returns to the conference against
Washington and should beat them easily. U.C.L.A.
still mbeaten, although tied, should whip Washington
ctate. The two leaders then meet December 9, in
final games. In the South, Tennessee should hurdle
that kentucky ji1x, and defeat Auburn December
for perfect Georgia Tech meets Georgia and
Tulane inishes up with Louisiana State in torrid
traditional games.
Last week wound up the selection box, and what
a week it was. Upsets and ties galore, and as
result only winners in 16 tries. Thew! Record for
is o5 out of 81. Glad that's over. DON'T get
lost in the big city this su.ay if you going.
What game that will be. Wish 7 could go. I'LL pick

Reps Open Season With 35 is Victory

The Greenbe1t Athletic Club representative Bas-
ketba11 team successfully opened the lo3o4O season
Last Saturday night, with a decisive victory over
the Interstate Commerce ssion quintet Of wash
tngton.
Both teams we're very cautious in the early part
of the game with poor shooting and erratic
prevailing. It wasn't until midway in the first
quarter that any made, and then Cain broke
the deadlock with goal. Mcdonald followed this
with one, and Blanchard made the score to with
a foul shot as the quarter ended. There very
little Improvement in the second quarter, showing
the need for plenty of practice and the half ended
with the "Reps" in front 10 to l..
The visitors showed marked Improvement at the
start of the second halt, and pulled up to wi thin
four points of Greenbe1t at tre quarter time.
Cain and Company snapped out of it, and you wouldn't
know 1T was the same team. WI tn good passing at
tack and excellent defense tactics, the Reps, led
by Cain, ree1ed off point after point and scored 1s
in the last quarter to win the game 35 to IS.
Outstanding players Of the game Cain, aep-
ser, and Provost for the vctors, and Hnsaa1e,

ABOUT WOMEN =.
AND SPORTS

Since this IS an off week We will have to write
about whatever to the surface. It 50 happens
that Last Thursday holiday and consequently
there was gym nj ght for the but that
isn't going to stop US from having sort Of
column.
For fact, the normaliztng class is great sue
cess, with about 50 whacking at the posterior
regions trying to have that figger that is the envy
Of the town. once the habit is attained, it isn't
at all hard to keep every blessed morning of
life. Tt WON'T hurt, in the least, to get up in
cold bedroom about IS minutes early and go through
each of the exercises that Miss DUNCAN has the class
doing once week. In conversation with several of
the class, it to Ii ht that they expect to lose
Lot Of weight just by doing the exercises
Thursday nights. Of course, getting little exer-
else once a week is better than nothing, but when
you cone light down to it, that amount Will be
instrumental in reducing any part of the body.
Some very good exercises for the hips, where by
the way most Of have trouble, are the cat,
rolling, seat shooting, and many others that
quire few minutes each day. The cat is very
good one to strengthen the stomach muscles. The
starting position is ON the hands and knees. Bend
forward with over arched back and the head up
ward, now swing backward With under arched back
and with head bending down. In this exercise you
make complete swing to the front first and then
back. It is so much fun to do, and 1T really helps
the muscles.
Another exercise is the seat skoot, sit with
knees close to the chest and locked around
knees, with feet flat the floor. Lift hip
and move forward then lift the other and for
ward that. Usually count to so is enough to do
good, If kept up for period of time.
Some of the exercise may look silly and you may
think that they just thought of to stretch your
Legs, and back and make the sorest of spots all
you. If you get, sore after doing Violent
Use, it Is good sign, and matter how stiff and
and stretched your muscles get keep doing
the exercises. In few days the soreness will
away and you will feel it from thence
When beginner in the ranks feels the first bit of
stiffness and soreness coming she usually Lays
off the exercising until the trouble Is gone, then
resumes it thinking-wen the second time is always
much worse than the first and lord pity the woman
who trys ttII So if you thinking Of such thing
m ia WIG l0Nf
ercising at any intervals of time Will do you
good. You must keep at it re1igdously, and do it
ri ightI Feel it,
The you start steady ritual Of exercts-
ing and proper eating the you Will Look like
an angel in evening gown at dance, and oh by
the way don't forget the Inaugural Dance, in the
Gym of the Elementary School, Saturday, Dec.2...
What about it, does it sound good to you?.......

w'y-Named Roses
On Display in Gardens
NDr. and Mrs. Cross
Three Outstanding
Varieties to Be Shown
Tomorrow and Sunday

Three newly named varieties of
roses will be on display at the gar
dens of DR.. and Mrs. Whitman Cross
of Chevy Chase, Md, tomorrow and
Sunday. The gardens are open on
those days for the benefit of the
Potomac Rose Society and flower
lovers will have their first oppor-
tunity of seeing these noteworthy
roses.
DR.. Cross has been Systematically
working, since his retirement from
the Geological Survey, to produce
better roses for this area. OF the
thousands of seedlings grown and
tested, these three were deemed
worthy and named. They will soon
be available to rose growers.
Disease Resistant.
The Honorable Lady Lindsay,
hybrid-tea rose, appears to be dis
ease resistant and was shown at the
Potomac Rose Show last fall where
1t received the gold certificate OF
the American Rose Society.
Naniemoy, a climbing rose with
q long blooming season is the near
est approach, according to DR.. Cross
that he has made toward an ever
blooming climber, Most nurseries,
however, would classify it as an
everbloomer.
Chevy Chase-a mildeW-r resistant
rambler rose Is of interest in that
most varieties of ramblers are seri-
ously injured by this disease. In
fact, so much so, that they are sell
dom grown here. This new rose of
DR.. Gross is therefore distinct
achievement.
Many Other Varieties.
Along with these new introduc-
tions, DR.. Cross has many other seed
lines, novelties and test varieties
from leading rose growers in this
country and Europe. The gardens,
also, contain many varieties of
climbing roses, the wild roses of the
world and bed after bed of the best
varieties of bush roses-Dr. Cross
calls them hybrid-tea roses.
Mrs. Cross, who is well known in
horticultural circles, disclaims any
connection with the roses. although
she is president of the Potomac Rose
Society. She points with pride to
her gardens of perennials with their
tall delphiniums and host of other
Kinds of flowers.
The gardens will be open from 2
until pm. each day. The demon
strations at 4 pm. both days will in
clude hybridizing and busting.

AS news distribution, like the col
lection of vital statistics, was in its
infancy in 1889, the readers of the
Sun did not learn Of the caIamitous
happenings in Ireland until the ar
rival of the packet ship Cambridge
on February 10, and that news was
limited to what had happened near
Liverpool, whence the Cambridge
sailed. Three days later the Great
Western reached New York with
further details, but these were not
as lively as the announcement of
Victoria's engagement to Albert,
which also arrived on the Great
Western.

up!" go
His voice had in it the memorable
ring of doom.
"He's alive?" Asa asked slowly,
carefully, his mouth twisted.
Hell come around, y said Tope.
Hell be all right by and BY"
Without any movement of his
head, Asa's eyes swung to seek out
their countenances. He peered in
the darkness. and his lips writhed
so that his teeth were hideously
bare. Then he moved. 1t was as
though he leaped, as though he
would have sprung to action. His
lips set hard; his shoulder rose; his
whole body contorted; one hand
darted down. /. 1t whipped up,
and a gun showed in the flashlights
CLEAN.
Inspector Tope, leaning into the
car, sought to seize the gun.
But before he could touch Asa,
could grasp the weapon, the need
for action passed. When the hurt
man thus leaned sharply forward,
his head was tardy in following his
movement. It seemed to hang back,
and then to be jerked aside as
though by an invisible hand; and
this was a strange, unnatural thing
to see. Asa's head turned at gro
tesque angle, as though it had
S1inped. and instantly Asa himself
was smaller, like a pricked balloon.
And quite still.
Clint whispered: "For Gods sake,
Inspector! Is he dead?"
Tope nodded slowly. "Yes, dead, !"
he said, in a low tone.

Miss Moss like an expected sum-

phoned for taxicab; and when she
came out it was at the door. n
''The Providence road,'' she di-
rected. ''I'll tell you when to STOP"
When she rang the doorbell of

was far into the small hours; the
rain still sheeted down.
A window opened above her head,
and Thayer called question.
81 must speak to Miss Thayer,"
Miss Moss explained.
The garage man himself came to
the door with his daughter, sleepily
protesting and bewildered. Miss
Moss hesitated, unwilling to betray
to him the girls secret unless she
must. Yet there appeared no other
way. 'tMiss Thayer," she. said. II

Three SUFFERED HOUSES
---===By BEN AMEs WILLIAMS

He and Rab had an argument to-
night, in the garage. He hit Rab
with a monkey-wrench, propped
him against that pine tree by the
corner of the drive, got out his car.
He drove to the road and turned
around and came back again. He
meant to run into Rab, finish him.
sBut was there. Before Asa got
back, I'd dragged Rab away from
the tree. Asa saw me. Seeing me
must have startled him so that he
stepped on the gas. Anyway, he
rammed into the tree so hard it
snapped his own neck"
Heale stood in an incredulous
amazement, and Tope concluded:
Didn't kill him right off. He came
to. He thought he'd hit Rab, and
he told us it was an accident, that
Rab lodged in front of the car.
When I told him he hadn't hit Rab,
that Rab was alive, he went for his
gun.
"But when he moved, his neck
snapped. Finished himl"
1lcdlS Was duIlOSt WOiu1Coos
"Gun?" he repeated.
"Here it ISL said Tope, and de-
livered Asa's weapon to the other
man.
Then Doctor Cabler came out to
them. Gentlemen, he said, salts
faction in his tones, "Rab is show
ing signs of returning conscious
ness"
Hell liver" Tope asked.
"Oh, that, certainly" the physi-
clan confidently agreed. "And I
think by morning he may be able to
talk to you."
He went back into the house; and
Heale reused from his paralysis of
surprise. sYou think Asa did the
rest of it," he asked.
''I've known that, since this morn
ing" Tope replied.
"Why didn't you tip mel"
Knowing isn't proving" Tope re-
minded him; and Heale ruefully as
scented.
ct guess I'll call Derrie," he de-
cided at last. Shave him up here
in the morning." And he confessed
a little grudgingly: you've made
a double-barreled fool out Of him,
Inspector
