"And you sometimes see farmers
put hats on their horses-but you can
not blame the horse for his sky-piece.
"And with women's hats, they are
in the same boat, and I am on the
women's side-I am for the women,
versus some halter cooking up a joke
on them.
"But women who venture out much
in these new chapeaus, or go to the

little lookout for nimrods-and es-
pecially, during the open season.
"But for favoring the ladies and
sidin' with 'em, and taking their part
that is me all over"
The only trouble about that joke is,
I don't see how 10 separates the wo-
man from her hat. Rhetoricians
says, "Style is the man." I'll say,
with regard to the opposite sex:
"Style of the hat is the woman" And
if some of the women friends don't

CHICKS SHOW A GOOD
BRAND OF BALL PLAY
Continued from Page u


Chicks, pitched five and two-thirds
innings and only allowed the Milford
batters two singles to get credit for
the game. Pocomoke had two big
innings, the first when they scored
five times and the fourth when they
tailed six more times, when twelve
batters faced the starting and reliev-
ing pitchers of Milford. Coogan, who
relieved Caretta in the big fourth,
walked the first four men that faced
him.
Manager Whalen is very optimistic
at the present by the return of Skeets
Kirkland, third baseman, after being
on the sidelines by injuries and the
acquisition of first baseman, Blubber
Sanders, a boy that is playing a good
brand of ball and is getting his eye
on the deliveries at the plate. He
states that he has some weakness yet
but is endeavoring to secure new ma
terial and hopes he will be strength
ened in very short time.
The next game in this park will be
Friday night, (tonight) and this will

Nazi Armies Push Through Heart
OF Belgium Into France Batter
British Lines To English Channel
Nazis Claim 62-Mile Front of French
Maginot Line; France Admits Ger
mans 100 Miles From Paris
HITLER SHOOTS WORKS TO
RISK "WIN OR LOSE WAR"
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS
UNITED Press Foreign News Editor

German armies pounded broad path today
through the heart of Belgium and into northern
France. Official statements in Berlin-partly con-
frmed by Allied dispatches said that the Nazi
blitzkrieg toward the English Channel had broken the
main British defense lines along the Dye river in
front of Brussels captured the Belgian fortress of
Namur and smashed westward down the Samh-a
river into the French Maginot Line defenses at Matt
beuge.
FRENCH ADMIT NAZI THRUSTS
On French SOIL according to the German high
command, the Nazi forces widened their break into
the Maginot Line west of the Meuse river that they
now claim 62-mile front from Maubeuge to Carig-
nan, south of Sedan, from which flying mechanical
columns have stabbed deeply into French territory.
In Paris, it was admitted that these thrusts had
reached Rethel, 100 miles from the French capital,
and that tremendous German power was being
thrown into the main offensive in an attempt to win
the war by q quick and devastating blow.
Hitler Shoots The Works
The German bitzkreg offensive methods appeared on
the surface at least to that Adolf Hitler had shot the
works in offensive that might win lose the war In
Berlin however, NazS insisted that that was not neces-
sary true although they expressed confidence that the
German offensive would clear the Allied forces from Bel
GUM and established bases for attack England
short air route.
In Staggering Triumph
Neutral in the Nazi capital also said that while
the German break through into France staggering
triumph did not necessarily decisive action since
the NazS face the problem OF pouring and more men
Both London and Paris admitted that the military situa
ton was grave result of the big bulge created by the
Germans in their main defense lines, but both expressed
confidence that it would be overcome.
