that negotiations to bring Turkey
into the united front might be
completed this week.
Discussing progress in creation
of barrier to future aggression in
line with military defensive pledges
already given to Greece, Rumanla
and Poland. Chamberlain said that
the British government was maln-
tanning all necessary contact IN
military and other matters. with
the governments involved.
His statement was in regard to
whether actual general staff con-
situations had been initiated by
Britain and France with Poland,
Rumania and Greece.
In Athens it was reported today
that Greece and Turkey had ar
ranged to pool their fighting forces
in event of war, with a Turkish
general commanding their combln-
ed armies and a Greek admiral
directing the two navieS.
Gen. Alexander Papagos, chief
of the Greek general staff. was
understood to have worked out the
details with Turkish military lead
ers.
In some respects. it would be
closer alliance than that be-
tween Great Britain and France,
with whom Greece and Turkey
would be expected to cooperate IN
event Of general war. Great Brit
ain already has guaranteed Greece's
integrity and is expected to an
nounce a guarantee TO Turkey this
week.
On another front it became
known that Jugoslavia has called
up about $4,000 troops since the
italian occupation of Albania. and
has made plans to double the
number of soldiers under arms
shortly.
The army will be brought TO
strength estimated between 250,000
and 100000.
Since the italian occupation Of
Albania, the government has call
ed up frontier reServiStS. At present
reservistS are being called up
throughout the kingdom.

Assistant Director
Talks Over WMAL;
Race Map Prepared

Zeb. T. Hamilton, assistant direc-
tor of The Star-American Legion
Soap Box Derby, took apart the ma
chinery that will make the Derby
possible on July and showed the
radio audience what makes it tick
in a broadcast over Station WMAL
yesterday afternoon.
AS chief engineer for the event in
which several hundred boys will race
for the second Washington area
championship Mr.. Hamilton dis
cussed plans to make the races go
off smoothly and to make boy racers
and thousands of spectators COM
Portable on Derby day
Il have a map which shows not
only the race course, but the neigh
boring streets, houses and stores"
Mr.. Hamilton said. And on that
map we have planned where the
starting ramp will be placed, how
long the course will be and where
the finish line will be located. We
have placed the service pits, refresh
ment stands, the firSt-aid tents, the
bandstand, the public address sys-
tenn, the telephones, the grand
stands, flag poles and other decora-
tions
Then there is the none-toO- small
item of providing trucks and drivers
to collect your racers before the race
and then deliver them back to you
when it's all over.' Mr. Hamilton
said. -Four boys in the Derby were
interviewed by Announcer Raymond
Michael on the same broadcast
Scout Executive Linn c. Drake

Old Fire Truck Is in Retirement After Turn as School Bus

its longest trip-and one that was
repeated many times-was to Plum
Point, distance of Al miles.
All last summer the boys used the
vehicl' to haul potatoes on the Plum
Point farm. This provided money
for gasoline-of which, as one OF
the youths observed, ''it drank an
awful lot; so much, in fact, that it
ran dry three times. 1t had only
one fiat tire, however, and this sort
of evened things up.
George and Burton graduated last
June, but Francis and Norma, who
are seniors, and Donald and Buhby
Juniors, would still be riding to and
from school in the "bus" If the law
had not intervened.
Under Maryland law, all motor
vehicles must pass rigid inspections
every year before their owners car
obtain license plates. And when the
youths applied for 1889 tags, the in
spectors decided that the truck
though still sturdy and willing, had
reached an age that entitled il
retirement

Someone with love unfailing
Guides us on lifes weary way
'Tis her faith and understanding
That has helped us day by day.
Though the world be cold and heart
less.
Mothers love will never fail
Mothers faith will give us courage
When o er JOY our grief prevails.
In her heart, so kind and tender
All her sorrows are suppressed,
With a countenance of beauty
And with patience she is blessed.
Ever conscious of her duty
On her help we can depend,
She alone will not forsake us
She remains our truest friend.
She is ever sweet and willing
Though her heart be filled with woe
Hers a manner kind and gentle,
Hers a heart as pure as snow.
In return for all her kindness,
We should try in every way
Just to fill her life with gladness
And with joy upon her day.

UMBRELLAS.


The recent suggestion that Neville
Chamberlain umbrella may some
day rest in the British Museum,
brings to mind the fact that UNI
brellas once were symbols of roy
atty.
In the days of remote antiquity,
whenever Eastern potentates ira
veled about, even on the battlefield,
attendants scurried beside them
holding sunshades over their royal
heads. Excavations of the ruins of
Nineveh, ancient city of Assyria,
have uncovered sculptures showing
royalty sheltered by umbrellas SIM
liar to those in common use today.
Eventually, umbrellas became
badges of luxury rather than rank.
In ancient Greece, on feast days,
the daughters of aliens were re-
quired to hold parasols over the
heads of the daughters Of citizens.
In the Middle Ages, Italian horse
men carried sunshades with the end
of the rod fastened against one
thigh. They were made of skins
or leather and when closed were
carried upside down by ring on
the tip of the staff.
American colonistS and the British
did not use umbrellas generally until
Revolutionary War days, and then
they were carried as a protection
against rain, They were often made
OF feathers. Their use was bitterly
fought by hackney drivers, who felt
the innovation was depriving them
of fares.
There is a South American UNI
brella bird, SO called because of a
peculiar crest which he can erect at
will to a spearing position. resem-

Johnny, for instance, goes practi-
cally all year without making any
particular effort to show his devotion
to his mother. He is not a bad boy;
he is just a careless one, He loves
his mother, but his daily activities
keep him so busy that he has little
time in which to think very much
about his mother and all that she
means to him.
A few times during the year-on
Christmas and Easter, for example.
and perhaps on her birthday ami
versary, too-he buys her a modest
gift or sends her loving card. The
rest of the time, however, he is in
clined to take her for granted, ana
to assume that his affection for her
will be taken in the same way.
Sometimes, when he is preoccu-
pied with his own affairs, he for
gets to kiss her when he leaves
for school in the morning. Some
times he becomes so interested in
playing that he neglects to go home
at the time he is expected. Some
times, too, he becomes so irritated
when, for her own good reasons,
she refuses him permission to do
something on which he has his
heart set, that he talks back" to
her.
All in all, he causes her consid-
cradle worry and work and heart
ache during the year. Then. on
Mothers Day, he makes particu-
lar effort to please her-to do some
thing to show that, deep down in
his heart. he regards her as the
