Mrs. Peoples Is Transferred
To School PrincipoIship
Community Center
Director to Leave

The Board of Education today ap-
proved the transfer of Mrs. Eliza
beth K. Peoples, director of the
Community Center Department, to
be principal of the E. V. Brown
School in Chevy Chase, D. c. She
will assume her duties next fall.
1t was reliably reported that Mrs.
Peoples, who has directed the ac-
tivities of the Community Center
since 1881, sought the transfer be-
cause of i'll health. She had pre-
viously served as administrative
principal of the Brightwood School.
Mrs. Peoples succeeded Miss Sibyl
Baker to the Community Center
post. Miss Baker, a former English
teacher in the high schools, left the
department to take over the munich
pal Playground Department which
was merged with the Community
Center Department in the 1910 Dis

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 15.-Three men
were believed lost today in the crash
of a Coast Guard seaplane which
had gone to sea to bring ashore a
sick man from the ketch Atlantis.
Mackay Radio said the Coast
Guard reported the three were lost
when the plane sank before a line
could be put on board from the
ketch.
Mackay said the Coast Guard re-
ported those lost were 1t. Cleetmer
and John Radan, and the sick man,
whose name was given as Priest.
The position of the Atlantis was
given at latitude 1890 and longitude
7O30. which would be, roughly, 200
miles due east of Cape May, N. j.
A later message relayed by Mackay
said the ketch had hove to to await
the arrival of the plane, and added
that Yeoman Hayes .and Radio
Operator Evers were injured in the
crash, but that three mechanics,
Salters, Simon and Whalen, were
safe.

Picard Leads Nelson,
| j p, for Is Holes in
P. 6. A. Golf Final
Shoots SO to Foes 81:
Open Champ RoIIies
After First 9
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Henry
Picard, years top money winner
from Hershey, Pa, shot a 4-under-
par 68 to be l up on United States
Open Champion Byron Nelson, who
had 81, after the first 18 holes of
their 36-hole match for the National
P. G. A. golf championship today at
the Pomonok Country Club.
Nelson, after missing five fairWays
on the first nine, and playing both
of the outgoing short holes badly,
finally struck his scoring stride
when he holed out a 3O-yard chip
shot for an eagle on the ninth hole
to be down.
The open champion then pro-
ceeded to play the longer back nine
in 80 strokes, 5 under par, with five
As and four IS on his card. Even
the fact that Picard reached the
par 5 eleventh in and rammed in
a l2-foot putt for a winning eagle
3 to his birdie 4 couldn't discourage
the wiry young ex-Texan.
He won two of the next four holes
with brides to bring Picard back
up. Picard raised it back to 2 up
again with handsome tee shot and
10-foot putt for a winning deuce at
the 18th, only to have Lord By
ron come right back at him on the
eighteenth. Picard was 6 inches
wide of cup from 16 feet, but Nelson
knocked in 10-footer for winning
birdie 3.
Up to the ninth, when he holed
out the chip shot for an eagle 2
Nelson had been working hard to be
even as close as down.
He got off to a bad start on the
first hole and just couldn't seem to
discover the touch that had pro-
duced such brilliant subpar perform
ances in the earlier rounds over the
short course of the Pomonok Coun-
try Club.
On the No. l hole Nelson only half
hit his drive. The ball landed at the
base OF birch tree and his second
looking good for second, suddenly
struck the trunk of another birch
and caromed across the road. Mel
sons third went over to the back
edge of the green and, while he
almost holed out on his chip, Picard
played the hole in regulation 4 to
go up.
Nelson Wins Second.
Nelson hauled himself back to
even terms on the second, which was
virtually reversal of the first. This
time it was Henry, the years ace
money winner. who strayed off the
line. His drive sliced into the rough
and his second curved into a trap to
the right of the green. After he had
rolled his third over the hole to the
fringe of the carpet and missed badly
coming back, Picard conceded Mel
sons 24-foot putt for birdie 3.
Picard went back to up again
on the third, where his tee shot was

Despite President Roosevelt's ad-
nlonition that it was highly advis-
able" to revise the Neutrality Act at
this session, some Senators on both
sides Of the issue predicted today
that Congress would 60 home in
about three weeks without acting on
the matter.
Vacant seats at quorum calls, rest
lessness in protracted committee ses-
sions and the departure of some vet
eran legislators indicated, they said.
that the end was near. regardless of
the urgent appeal made yesterday
by the President and Secretary of
State Hull for repeal of the arms en-
barge provision in the present law.
With Mr. Roosevelt's approval
Secretary Hull told Congress the en-
barge clause might tempt we'll
armed nations bent on conquest to
plunge the world into war, knowing
that less well-prepared opponents
would be shut off from arms sup
plies in this country.
Opponents of the administration
revision program predicted almost
unanimously that it would remain,
until the next session, on the shelf
in the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, where they placed it re-
Gently by 12-to-11 vote.
Will Have to Build a Fence.
"They will have to build fence
around Washington to keep some of
these Senators here much longer" "
remarked Senator Borah, Repub-
lican, of Idaho, one of the leaders in
the fight against the administration S
program.
Although Democratic Leader Bark
ley was avowedly hopeful that the
shelved legislation could be revived
somehow, some other administration
Senators who asked that their iden-
titles not be divulged said it ap-
peared their hands were tied so far
as getting action on this subject
was concerned.
There seemed to be. however,
tacit understanding by both sides
that, if war broke out in Europe,
Congress probably would be called
back into special session and neu-
trality legislation be the first order
of business then.

Ing technique Is the most important
factor. there are occasional hands
in which the ability to think quick
~ is the determining factor. For
example, Lester Bachner. New York
attorney, we'll known in bridge cir
cles. was playing a four-spade con-
tract. West opened the king of
clubs, on which East, somewhat un-
decided as to whether or not to en-
courage continuation, finally
played the five. West now shifted
to the ten of hearts, and without
an instants hesitation Mr.. Bachner
played small from both dummy and
his own hand, allowing West to hold
the trick. Realizing that East must
hold the heart king, Mr.. Bachner
saw way to make his contract pro-
vided West did not cash his ace OF
clubs. Sure enough, West, excus-
ably enough, led second heart.
Now Mr.. Bachner's contract was
home. He drew trumps, ruffed
dummy's remaining heart in his
hand and then played his queen of
clubs. West won with the ace, but
was now in an unenviable position
II he led a club, MI. Bachner would
discard dummy's small diamond and
ruff in his own hand; if he led a
diamond, Mr.. Bachner's queen would
win the trick.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In times gone by. ocean liners
were made from wood, and the tim
bers were bolted together. Then
came vessels with steel hulls; they
proved that men could make iron
float on water!
It used to be the custom for steel
plates to be riveted together by hand,
but this plan gave way to the "pneu-
matte" hammer, driven by COM
pressed air. Still later has come
electric welding, with plates being
Joined so we'll that the side OF the
vessel almost seems to be made OF
a single sheet of metal.
Often the plates on a liner are
about feet high and 20 feet long.
They form a strong steel skin"
The plates on cargo vessels are
sometimes overlapped like the scales
of a fish, but the sides OF ocean
liners, as well as battleships, are
commonly made smooth. This is
brought about only with much care
in fitting the plates close together,
but not overlapping them. Plates
which are to be put near one end or
the other, must be bent to follow
the curve of the hull. Men who plan
ships try to make the sides curve no
more than need be. This means a
saving in the cost of putting on the
plates.

which sail on the Pacific or Indian
Oceans.
When tn Queen Mary was built
it was fittesA with Is turbines, each
turbine havsg, 1900 blades. The
turbines are moved by high-pressure
steam, and they make four gigantic
gearwheels 60 around. The gear
wheels measure IA feet across, and
can be made to turn more than $40
times a minute.
The gearwheels cause long, hol-
low-steel shafts to turn around.
Each shaft leads to a propeller at
the stern of the boat.
Dozens Of big tanks contain oil
for the furnaces. The burning oil
heats water in great boilers, and
produces steam. More than half a
million gallons of water can be
heated in the boilers in day at sea.

the recent Czecho-S -Slovakia trouble
made that embarrassingly clear.
Mr.. Mowrer, like most Americans,
is pro-Chinese. He admits that
many old-timers in the Orient do
not agree with him in his optimism.
One wishes that one knew for
oneself just how much of that
optimism was beyond question.
However, as said, Mr.. Mowers
conclusion is the one to which the
great number of journalists incline.
They are about our only source of
information. There is little that
we can do but take them at their
own word. Mr.. Mowers book, at
any rate, will make heartening
