some of the highest Republican leaders. Tn the group were John Hamilton, various Congressional COP big shots, William R. Castle, Jr., ex-U Under Secretary of State, and Harlan Fiske Stone.
 Always close to Hoover, Stone is closer than ever now. Once the two men were members of the Coolidge cabinet, later played medicine ball together every morn ing before breakfast.
 As President, Hoover leaned on Stone for advice, and today he still does. The two correspond regularly. Probably there is no one in Washington, save Bill Castle, in closer contact with Hoover than Justice Stone.
 Some of Stones friends hope that the presence of his old stu- dent. Douglas, on the bench, to- gether with the influence of Felix Frankfurter, will bring him back to the liberal side. They think that the custom of the student following the teacher may be re- versed.
 This remains to be seen, but one thing is certain. Two years ago, Roosevelt had in mind making Stone chief justice of \ the court in case Hughes retired. That has now been changed.
 And today, should MT. Hughes step down, William o. Douglas, the pupil, rather than Harlan Fiske Stone, the teacher, Is much more likely to become chief jus tice of the United States.

 e. Is it advisable to use home- made electric fence charger? A. It is very inadvisable to i'm. provise equipment for the purpose It requires a good electrical engi- neer, not an ordinary electrician, to design suitable charger that will shock" without harm. If the con- troller or charger has any appre- ciable capacity (amperage) the shock might be fatal to human beings or stock coming in contact with the fence, and voltages which might be harmless to person standing on dry ground might easily be fatal in wet weather. For these reasons 1t is best to use equipment that has been properly designed and constructed by experienced manufacturers.

Immediately it was shipped to New
York to be made into caviar. About
l5 years ago the native fishermen
there didn't know the value of that
roe. There was one outsider who
hung around the dock and pur-
chased all the roe he could find for
practically nothing, shipped it off
to New York and lived very hand
somely off the proceeds. The ma
tives never could figure out what he
did with it and laughed at him
for paying good money for the
worthless stuff. Until one day they
found out about it. and the laugh
was on them. The former pur-
chaser had to 60 to work.

are impressive Quinter's play will be

To Prevent Renewal
Of '38 Title Feud
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

A former national boy tennis
champion and last years District
junior titleholder were all that stood
today between another final match
involving the same two players who
battled for The Star Cup last year.
Unless Alphonso Smith beats Jim
my Farrin and David johnson up
sets Hugh Lynch in semi-final
matches tomorrow afternoon at
Edgemoor, the stage will be set for
replay of the match which wound
up the 1888 City of Washington
tournament
Following tomorrow semi-fnal
singles, which are scheduled to start
at 230 o'clock. the match for the
doubles championship will be played
between survivors of today's three
matches. In one. defending cham
pions, Dooly Mitchell and Ralph
McElvenny were to play fourth
seeded johnson and Lynch, while
Nathan Askin and Allie Ritzenberg
were waiting to play the winner of
an early afternoon match between
Farrin and Bill Howard and Tommy
Moorhead and Charley Sturtevant.
Lynch Looms as Winner.
Lynch. present holder Of The Star
Cup, holds more of an edge over
johnson than Farrin does over
Smith. Little Davie, although play
ing as good tennis as any senior
player in town, will have to concede
nearly 10 years in experience to the
defending champ, and that may
prove the difference.
Farrin however. has a real battle
on his hands with Smith as his
opponent. Judging from his play
thus far, the now bald-headed be-
spectacled Smith has forgotten few
of the tricks which made him the
best boy player in the country in
1924 and he plays as sound and
technically perfect game as any net
man in local ranks "Smitty." more

kick out of playing as he ever did
and his style of game is as enjoyable
to himself as it is to the spectators.
