Believe it Or not, it was prohibition" that
brought into being the new and wholly Ameri-
can game - not prohibition of liquor, but of
ninepins. It seems that the lawmakers of the
1905, in New York and Vermont at least,
decided that bowling was a wicked waste of
time. The game had become an indoor sport
by that time, and along one stretch of Broad
way. in New York, there was at least one
bowling alley in every block. So the straight
laced legislators prohibited the game. That
is, they prohibited ninepins. Whereupon the
Evening star., 1940-02-25

bowlers promptly added another pin, con-
verted the game into tenbins, and went on
bowling. And it is tenpins that twelve million
Americans play today.
The lawgivers no longer frown; instead, they
participate. In Chicago recently two men
were brought into night court for passing
red light. They told the magistrate that they
had been bowling. had stayed for just a
couple more games, and 50 had been hurrying
home. Let's see your thumbs" said the
magistrate. The two men held them up. and

More than million new pins are turned
out every year, made of Kindred maple cut
from the ten feet nearest the base of old
maple trees Balls are made of rubber COM
position, and the A.B.C. even has scales that
not only weigh them as WHOLE but weigh
the sides separately to make sure they are
in balance.
Last year, about 1900 new alleys were
built, which is record. For the last few
years the game has been having an unpreoe-
dented boom. Why? "Cherchez Ia femme"
Yes, women have taken it up in big way,
and in doing so have brought bowling out
of the smoky, beery back room into modern
red-leather salons. The ladies are not eligible
to the A.B.C.. but they have organized their
own Women's International Bowling Con-
gress, and have their annual tournaments
just the same as the menfolks. Vassar has
made bowling an intramural sport, and Salt
Lake City has a bowling league called the
University of Utah Mothers Club for which
only mothers are eligible.
Such development, suspect, would have
seemed downright unlikely to the man with
the beard. But imagine his astonishment if
he could have seen Binghamton, New York,
team playing recent match with team in
another city a match in which the other
team wasn't even present! They just re-

 The naval bases, it was asserted, would be used to enable Japan to speed up and. it was hoped, end, its war against China.
 As regards trade, informants said Japan desired to send its exports to Indo-C China in exchange for iron. cosl, tin and other raw materials.
 Informants said that negotiations were proceeding at Tokyo between Charles Arsene-Henry, French Ain- bassodar, and Prince Fumimaro Koioye, Premier, and the French government here was without in- formation of progress made.
 French dispatches reported that Japanese fleet had left formosa, off the Chinese coast, for the south China coast.
 In previous negotiations Japan had demanded that the French government allow Japanese agents to supervise traffic on routes be- tween Irdo-C China and China in or- der to prevent supplies reaching China, and France had agreed. | Tokyo, Aug. 5-(UP)-The foreign office denied today that Japan was negotiating with French Ambassa- dor Charles Arsene-H Henry for naval bases in Indo-China and suggested that the reports were spread for ul- terior reasons. Army leaders denied knowledge of any negotiations for military bases.
 Army men said that Maj. Gen. Issaku Ishihara, chairman of the Japanese military inspection com- mittee to Indo- China, was now in Tokyo reporting on the situation | there.

 Huge Italian aerial squadrons, sometimes numbering 100 planes, have been attacking British ship ping conveys in the Mediterranean and an Italian communique this morning said that 14 British air. plane had been shot down, ten of them during an attempt to bomb Italian troops marching along the Libyan-Egyptian frontier. The Brit ish planes were engaged by Fascist craft, the communique said.
 British Attack Repulsed
 It added that British attack on Namaraput, on the Sudan boundary, had been repulsed. The newspaper Regime Fascista reported that 1tal- ian African troops were concen- trating for big-scale action against the British in Kenya colony, a rich region of East Africa into which the Italians have pushed about 30 miles from the Ethiopian frontier.

 Motor Patrolman Grady was on duty on South Main street, near the Diamond Ginger Ale Co.,, when big car raced by. His signals to halt were ignored, he said, and he began chase.
 Speeds Through Brooklyn
 The pursued car cut over South Leonard street, then sped through the Brooklyn and Town Plot sec- tions, with the policeman in pur- suit. Holding the wheel with his left hand, and leaning across the front seat, Patrolman Grady fired out the right hand side window at the fleeing car. One shot struck the right rear fender, just above the tire, while another hit the body of the car. The chase led from High land avenue to West Main street then to the Middlebury road. At Hillcrest Constable Folgmann was almost run down. A short distance farther on, at Middlebury terrace, the stolen car jerked to a halt and the three occupants ran into the woods.
 Searching parties of officers and civilians began securing the woods. More than an hour later, DelGobbo was found by three men, Rudolph and Otto Folgmann, cousins of the constable, and Elmer Messing. They turned him over to Constable Joseph McNellis. The captors said that DelGobbo was seeking to thumb a ride when they found him.
 No trace of the other pair was found in Middlebury.

 At the same time, another squad ron of Spitfire pursuit planes en- gagged German fighters on the Eng fish side and downed one of them, according to the ministry. Nine SpitfireS participated in the fight across the channel.
 The new tide conditions and the fact that dark of the moon" per- iod was at hand, plus the reports from Norway, lent emphasis to Prime Minister Winston Churchill'S week. end warning that the danger of a German attack on the British Isles had "by no means passed away"
 Meteorological conditions now prevalent will favor an invader for several days. After that, conditions would be leS- favorable until early September.
 Invasion Dates Set
 A United Press dispatch from Stockholm quoted reliable private Norwegian sources as asserting that German officials in Norway had named the period between August 8 and August 10 as the probable zero hour for an attack on the British Isles.
 According to the Norwegians, the dispatch said, Germany is heavily fortifying Trondheim, its big base on the Norwegian west coast, is strengthening anti-aircraft defense on the entire southwestern Norwe- gian coast, and is training men in landing opera tions.
 German troops in mock landing operations are jumping their horses into fjords and swimming out to transports equipped with special jet ties to make boarding feasible. The Norwegian informantS also said that casualties in these maneuverS aver aged 10 per cent day. Previously news had been received that the Germans had again tightly closed the border line between oc- cupied and unoccupied France.
 Newspapers followed up Church. ills warning. They said that whether there was an invasion or not, the country must be prepared for big scale airplane attacks which would cause great property damage.
 The Daily Telegraph, close to the foreign office, saw the invasion problem as one which depended on how much frenzy Hitler will be al- lowed by his saner advisers"

 government sources, Daladier learn ed in telephone call from Rome that war was imminent and that German military operations against Poland were to start within few hours.
 At the same time French sources in Rome relayed to Daladier the statement of Italian Foreign Min ister Count Galeazzo Ciano that Mussolfni was willing to negotiate a peace conference to begin Sept. 5 Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet received the proposal and immedi- ately contacted British Foreign Sec retary Viscount Halifax who asked for days respite. The war started the next day.
 On Sept. 2, Mussolipi renewed his proposal, according to the informa- tion here. Bonnet again relayed the information to Halifax who report edly said that Britain would not con- sider any such meeting unless Adolf Hitler recalled his armies from Pc. land. It also was said here that Halifax expressed surprise al Frances hesitancy and called upor Daladier to fulfill Frances obliga. tions as Britain's.

 Britain Declares War

 Italian forces have been concen- trating for some time in the Bir el Gobi area, near the Mediterranean and close to the Libyan- Egyptian frontier, it was understood.
 CThe Itatlian communique re- ported that a British attack had been repulsed near Lake Rudolf, in the upper Sudan area, and that British airplanes had killed four | and wounded 30 in an attack on the l Massawa harbor)
 The Italians were believed by the {, British to be throwing all their Sstrength into an effort to take over control of the Mediterranean, espe- cially in the Suez Canal area which Is vital to the task of supplying 1tal- ian Ethiopia.
 So far, it was said, the Italians have been concentrating on British mercahnt shipping, chiefly with sub- marines and saving their airplanes, 1t was said here that the Italians believed that attack by the under water craft was cheaper than by air.

any demands for bases in French Indo- China, for extensive trade concessions and for other agree ments which would have put that French possession firmly in the Japanese sphere. There appeared to be no doubt, however, that the Japanese governments program called for inclusion of Indo-C China in the Tokyo circle of influence and @ United Press dispatch from Vichy said that definite demands had been made to France, while part of the Japanese fleet steamed toward the south China border.
 Of Greater Importance
 Of perhaps greater immediate im- portance, however, was conflict be- tween Japan and Britain, which first sought to appease the Tokyo government by cutting of trade to China and then retaliated against Japanese arrests of Britons by seiz- ing about nine prominent Japanese businessmen in London and other cities of the empire.
 The Japanese news agency Domei said that the government at Tokyo was determined to take drastic ac- tion in event of further deteriora- ton of relations with London as a result of the Illegal" arrest of Jap anese and that the foreign office had discussed possible counter measures with military chieftains. Anti-British demonstrations were being organized by the Japanese, the British officials at Singapore were training civilian volunteer force and there was apparent recog- milton on both sides that . with Britain engaged in 8 life and death struggle in Europe-a showdown might be precipitated by Japan in the Orient.
 The final course to be adopted by Japan, however, still was to be de- cided, probably after further re- ports are received from the Japa- nese embassy in London. In this connection, the Tokyo newspaper Nichi Nichi asserted that the Brit ish attitude "is proof" that Britain is working "hand in hand with the United States" in an effort to "dis- turb" Japanese policy in the Far East.
