By KATHLEEN NORRIS

TT is a real joy and satisfac-
ton to the hearts of Ameri-
l. can women to know that we
are to have as our guests this
year several thousand little
refugees from war-torn Eng
land.
That they are trusting us with
their children at this time is sure
proof of the confidence and af-
lection that naturally exists be-
tween the two great countries.
Even those of us who have been
most positive against any plan
of Intervention in this or any
other foreign combat, are eager
to extend a welcome to the
small girls and boys who are to
be sent away for awhile to
safety.
So they will come trooping over;
they will file down from the ships a
little scared and more than little
homesick; they will be absorbed into
thousands of homes. And for few
days all will be harmony, interest,
eagerness to make them feel COM
Portable and happy.
For a few days. Then the real
test will come for both visitors and
visited. And we must all hope that
when this test comes we will not fail.
Again America Sets Example.
This is perhaps the first time in
the history of the world that one
nation has thus extended hospitality
to the children of another. America
IS often first in setting some exam
pie that the whole world presently
follows. And surely she has never
originated more important one
than this. II it succeeds we will
have knitted our hearts to those of
England forever. Trade treaties,
franchises, taxes, these are cold
blooded necessities between nations,
and misunderstanding and bitter
ness may easily upset them. But
when we say to their children:
Come to US for safety and kindness
and good times and friendship" we
do something that goes far higher
than any business agreement goes;
we begin new type of International
exchange that may be the opening
Of better day.
II it had been the fashion in Eu-
rope, during the past 800 or 300
years, to exchange children when
children were in danger, how diff
ferent might be the history of the
world! For we have to remember
that the alignment of warning forces
has been different in all the wars.
For example, 20 years ago French
children might well have been sent
into Italy or Spain, for France and
Italy were on the same side then.
Russia might well have welcomed
English children, for Russia was one
of England's allies.
So that this is a very solemn and
significant thing that we are doing.
We are saying to England: 1--WE be
of one blood, thou and l." We are
saving her the keenest pang that
her danger knows, the fear for her
children, and we are proving that,
even though we are not with her in
war, what we can do for her with
out war we are eager to do.
Creates Domestic Problem.
But the taking Of strange child
into any home is a serious thing. II
that child is a small baby it means
that one woman's time is given conn
,letely over to the baby. II the child
! older-and the ages Of these chill
nren supposedly will range from
% 10, then the problem is Infinitely
complicated, Instead Of straight
ahead nursery service with bottles
and cribs and vegetable soups. the

foster mother may in some cases
have to deal with temperament, with
lack of training, with perhaps a
total ignorance of politeness and
manners, with inconsistencies and
strangeness and unhappiness.
All these children won't come from
the better homes. We have many
of those fortunate babies already;
the ones who could come over with
good nurse in charge, and are
rapturously absorbed by rich grand
mothers and friends. Most of the
children who are coming will be-
have much as our own American
children would if they were suddenly
transplanted from New York or Bos-
ton or any other American city and
suddenly transported to England.
Ernest Thompson-Seton once gave
in one of his books the jungle's rule:
''if it's strange, it's hostile" and
children still retain many of the in
stincts of the jungle.
In handling these guests we must
use infinite patience and tact, and
an entirely unreasonable amount Of
kindness. They mustn't be disci-
plined, or subjected to rules, even
as much as our own children are.
No woman who wants to shelter one
should undertake it unless she is
willing to regard the experiment
with the utmost seriousness, and ex-
poets no surety of personal pleasure
or return from it whatsoever.
Keep Arrivals Together.
My own hope is that America,
rather than scattering the small
English arrivals, will keep many of
them together in something as like
a great boarding-school as possible;
will find good-hearted Englishwomen
who will understand them, and act
as nurses, cooks, guardians, teach
ers for them. That would seem to
me far truer hospitality than the
seemingly-kindlier one of giving
them to individual foster-mothers in
scattered homes.
There must be in our various cit
les many empty buildings that could
easily be fitted with cots and lock-
ers and refectory tables, and
equipped very simply to meet the
needs of small children. There are
certainly, in all our communities,
experienced mothers, doctors, diet
specialists to keep an eye on the
visitors, and be sure that they have
plenty of outside pleasures and ex.
cursions.
Handle With Mass Efficiency.
We should make this an under
taking entirely separate from the
ordinary line of our charities and
sympathies, and handle it with mass
efficiency, and with the proper pub
Lefty 70 prevent the difficulties that
will be inevitable if the Smiths and
the Bakers and the Johnsons all are
permitted to stretch out welcoming
hands to small Londoners who, with
in three weeks will have every
member of the household in a state
of complete bewilderment and dis.
comfort.
These little war-scared folk are
sacred responsibility; we want
them always to remember their
American visit as a time Of happi-
ness and affection; we want them to
60 back as 80 many separate am
bassadors Of friendship between one
great country and another.

SPEAKING or
SPORTS
BY ROBERT MesHANE
Rslso,sd By Weasm Nsw,popss Uaiea

THE fact that there is no worthy
opponent for Heavyweight Cham
plon Joe Louis hardly can be listed
under the heading of news. The
dearth of outstanding candidates for
boxing's greatest title is no recent
development. And the situation is
not improving.
Boxing is staggering and reeling
from the repeated beatings II has
taken during the past three years
particularly in the heavyweight
ranks. Promoters have attempted
to foist upon the public matches
which are nothing more than exhibit
tions-and poor ones, at that.
Prize fight fans consistently have
been subjected to a diet of second
raters and has-beens. The mere
fact that several of these individu-
ais gave the champion chance to
demonstrate his prowess doesn'thelp
matters. Fans pay to see a con-
test, not a shadow boxing demon
Stration.
Only two candidates for heavy
weight honors are worthy Of the
name. One is Pat Comiskey, a glum
young Irishmanwho is being brought
into the top brackets too quickly.
The other contender is Billy Conn,
a Electromagnetic whose ambition
may overcome his lack Of weight.
Questionable Victory
Conn has been the subject of many
a heated debate. His recent 13-round
victory over Bob Pastor in Madison
Square Garden did little to enlarge
his stature. It was far from clean
cut victory which Conn achieved over
the one-time N. Y. U. football play
er. The punch that sent Pastor
down and out, left to the body,
was just another of the numerous
low blows which Billy landed
throughout the fight.
In the first place, the fight was
an attempt by Mike Jacobs to make
out Of the 174-pound Conn a second
Gene Tunney. However, Conn will
never have Tunney's size or weight.
Nor will he acquire Genes determi-
nation and singular adherence to
purpose.
Conn did have a good left, which
he used with telling effect. In addi-
ton, he was faster on his feet and

at the moment, being so new to big
time competition, but he has whale
of a punch-something almost i'm
possible to develop. Given another
year Of experience, Pat well may be
Louis most formidable foe.
As for the rest of the field, the
less said the better. Lou Nova is
attempting a comeback under the
guiding hand of Manager Ray Car
lin. His star faded into obscurity
when he took a brutal beating from
Tony Galento in Philadelphia year
ago.
The perennial Max Baer still
weaves around the outer fringe Of
eligible contenders. But no one
knows better than Promoter Jacobs
that a Baer-Louis fight would have
all the drawing power of Republi-
can rally in deepest Dixie. The fans
would stay away in droves.
Few champions have so far out
classed their contemporaries as Joe
Louis. Certainly no one can be
greatly excited over the prospect OF
Louis meeting any of the above
mentioned fighters.

"a, of Accomac, Va, who was charg-
ed with assault with intent to kill

ginia line, about four miles from Po-
comoke. Smith was held in $1,000
bail for the action Of the grand jury.
Smith, represented by Godfrey
Child, Esq, Pocomoke attorney, did
not testify. Colonna, however, told
the court this story:
Smith entered his filling station the
night of November 9, carrying shot
gun, and bought some cigarettes.
Colonna cautioned him to "be careful
about that gun; it might go off"
Colonna asked him for the gun, but
"Smith pointed it at me and said, T'll
shoot you.
Colonna pushed the barrel of the
gun down, but the weapon was dis
charged, and Colonna was wounded
in the left leg.

the county short its quota of $1,000

spond and bring the amount up to Po-
comoke's quota. Mrs. Jas. P. Blaine,
Jr., is chairman for Pocomoke and a
list of co-chairmen appeared in last

subscribed to this worthy cause are
