eve will be glad to play any team
you match us with there"
That was the favorable answer re.
ceived by Manager Charles Babe
Dryden, of the Crisfield "Speedboys"
from the bearded House of David
cage representative, with whom he
had been dickering in order to pro-
mote a gigantic basketball game be-
tween those well known and capable
stars and a team of like calibre. And
those who saw the bewhiskered gents
cavort on the Crisfield courts last
year can well understand why they
are willing to meet any quint in the
country.
So, with the House of David team
all lined up for the fray Manager
Dryden proceeded to find a worthy
foe and did just that when he enlisted
the services of the powerful Hercules
Power Company squad, splendid
aggregation of former college stars,
many of whose names have become
household words with basketball en-
thusiasts throughout the country, of
Wilmington, Del.
"The next thing" Mr.. Dryden re-
marked, twas to find date and that
too, has been settled. The biggest,
grandest, greatest basketball card
ever promoted, when the House of
David team mixes it up with the Her
cules five in the main event, and the
"Speedboys" play the Hercules "Jay
Wees" in the opener, will be played
at the Crisfield Armory, on Friday,
December Goth.
The House of David will have with
them Woods, Acker and other players
familiar to local fans, who witness
ed that teams slaughter of the
"Speedboys" last season.
"Since everyone is familiar with
the fact that the House of David has
one of the fastest teams in the coun-
try" Mr.. Dryden remarked last week,
let's take a look at the Hercules
quint stars, whom have an idea will
give a good account of themselves
on the goth.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Farmer Browns Boy was up and
out early that morning after the
icestorm. It was a very, very beau-
tiful world that greeted him as he
opened the back door and looked
out at the Old Orchard and across
to the Green Forest. Unlike Wei
come and Mrs. Robin and others, he
could see the beauty of 1t. He
drew long breath of the clear,
cold air, and with shining eyes
he watched the millions of SPAR
king diamonds made by the jolly
Little Sunbeams as they touched
the ice-covered twigs and grasses
and even the crust which covered
the snow on the ground. Wherever
they touched there was q flash as II
from real diamond.
But it was only for q few min
utes that Farmer Browns Boy
stood so lost in admiration Of the
lovely scene. Then a shadow cloud
ed his face. 'This is beautiful for
me-" thought he, but 1t Is terrible

He went into the house for few

went straight to the Old Orchard,

he fastened a fresh piece of suet.
Then from his pocket he took sun

Thot Body Of Yours
JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.


Although attacks OF epilepsy can
be prevented entirely in many cases
and can be reduced In number and
severity In others, there are still
some cases in which attacks occur
despite the usual, routine treat
ment. This treatment is the cut
ting down on all starch foods and on
all liquids, increasing the amount Of
fat foods and the daily use Of pheno-
barbital In the dose prescribed by
the physician.
The fact that a great many cases
give a family history Of epilepsy
father, mother, uncle, aunt, grand
parents-has made many young men
and women hesitate about getting
married because OF attacks of epilep-
sy in themselves or relatives.
Physicians are often asked to ad-
wise young men and women whether
it would be wise to marry when
there is family history of epilepsy.
This if often difficult because epilep-
sy Is sometimes caused by injury.
and there may be the history of
but one case as far back as the
family history can be traced.
DR. w. G. Lennox, DR.. F. A. Gibbs
and Erna L. Gibbs, Boston, in the
journal of the American Medical
Association, state that although the
opinion that heredity is an impor-
tant influence In epilepsy is wide
spread, only one epileptic person in
five is able to name any relatives
who had or has epilepsy. BY means
of electric equipment they were able
to record on paper the brain waves
Of 128 persons, parents or children
of 78 persons with epilepsy and
so healthy persons.
Definitely abnormal records or
tracings were obtained in 54 per
cent of the relatives of epileptics
against 6 per cent in the so healthy
persons Control group, who were
not related to epileptics. In 46 Of
the 78 families records were made
of both parents. In % per cent
both parents and in "a per cent
at least one parent had abnormal
records"
From the above records these re-
search workers believe that the alb
normal rhythms or regularity of
brain waves is Unbeatable" and
may represent a predisposition to
epilepsy or similar ailments.
This information, together with
other information regarding the
nervous or mental condition of
young people, should help the ply
sician when asked to give advice re-
garding marriage.

is Mama 20 Quero," which trans
lates freely and easily as Il Want
MY Mama" Miss Miranda's single
new offering is a thing which eludes
this departments Portuguese, which
is no trick at all Its implications
come over clear as a bell, however,
even though 1t is brief thing and
serves as an encore to the more
familiar works of Miranda.
The point is not that Miss Mi
randa is repeating herself under the
aegis of Daryl Zanuck. but that it
turns out to be quite all right. She
obviously is the kind of girl that
does not need new material, at least
so long as she sings in Portuguese,
and with those characteristic ges-
lures, which include very mobile
face. too. She comes off very fine
in technicolor. which has been
splashed beautifully over Zanuck's
latest musical.
When Isobel Elsom. as Leonora
Fisk. sings Tit Willow" in the
prelude to murder act of Ladies in
Retirement" it is not just cracked
voice in which she sings. 1t is ex-
pertly, artistically cracked voice be-
cause Miss Elsom has been singing
all over the place for years and get
ting very good notices and pay.
Moreover, when she says in the
play that she is a former chorus
girl. it is the gospel as well as the
authors truth. That's the way her
dramatic career began.
Miss Elsom was girl of IS in
London when she began to glance
out of the corner of her eye at a
stage career. In her naive way she
went over to the Office of Producer
Gus Edwards and asked If she might
see the great man. She was asked
if she had an appointment, replied
that she had not, and quick as a
flash she was shown the door. Once
more she repeated that routine, but
the third time she went back she
said she did have an appointment
and was shown right in. Edwards,
a man with an eye to beauty, imme-
diately recognized Miss Elsom as
one of England's nearest-to-divine
beauties and hired her on the spot.
She could not sing much at the
time, but who cared? That could
come later, and it did. Eventually
Miss Elsom had leads in a dozen or
more of the big musical comedies,
and sang them almost as well as she
looked.
Under that gaudy red wig she
wears on the way to becoming a
dead body in the play, Miss Elsom
