while everybody held their breath Muey-Hafid

he turned her about complete turn, felt her arm,

He smiled at her, showed her his bag of Jewels
Jngled then cunningly. Then he cooked his head
to right and left and finally he announced:
"I'll buy her. Go ask her mother what's the
price"
Now it was impossible in few short moments
to explain to the Sultan that what was right in
Morocco, was not done that way in Vchy So
they sent for a gendarme. He came running to
give the answer in terms the Sultan could under

But her mother" said the gendarme, cant

The Sultan smiled jinglng his diamonds.

So, as look back on the old Vichy remember

ing OF them all. This parsonage was His Royal
Hghness, Muley-Hafid the eX-Sultan of Morocco
For met the Sultan at Vichy
For reasons of state and politics. Muley-Hafid
had been removed from his gorgeous barbaric
Moroccan kingdom of which the French were over
lords and brought to Vichy. where our French
government, so wise in many of it's ways soothed
ms attronted dignity by putting him up as a great
prince at a swanky hotel, where they provided him
every luxury.
But also, that so wise government of ours pro-
vded him General E and his amiable wife In
the astute care of this capable couple, the royal
Sultan was an unsuspeCting prisoner
Now the trouble of the French government as
to Sultan Muley-Hafid was something quite incur
able-Sutan Muey-Hafid was an utterly natural
man He ate with his fingers-and only when he
felt hungry. He roared when he felt angry And
when he felt hot in private or in public he lust
took off his clothes. He was like a mschievous
baby who has finally learned about hooks and
buttons and pins.
But the fact that Muley-Hafd was still able to
remain guest for weeks at the Hotel de Sevgne,
which is really very dress-up place was tribute
TO the French art Of managing the difficult guest
Vet Muley-Hafid cared nothing about French de-
corum He was Moroccan, by Allah and what
was good enough for man in old Morocco was
good enough for the French at Nichy!
Accordingly, Muley-Hafid ate in the dining
room with his five fingers scorning knives and
forks as implements of the unbeeving West He
or his mutt carried round with them two bags,

Stanley Cup Appears
Cinch With Bruins
AT Full Strength
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
Five National Hockey League
teams which tried unsuccessfully for
four and one-half months to prove
their superiority over the Boston
Bruins in the regular season will
start again tonight to achieve the
same purpose in the Stanley Cup
playoffs.
Such feats have been performed
before, but there have been no FORE
warnings of an upset this year.
The Bruins will be at full strength
when they open the playoff series
on their home ice against Toronto's s
crippled second-place Maple Leafs.
Boston still is riding the crest of
a tremendous closing squirt during
which it was beaten only once in
80 matches.
Over the whole season, in fact,
the Bruins lost only eight times
and they finished points ahead of
Toronto, which had started at a
speedy clip.
Toronto will have to get along
without Syl Apps, the Leafs high
scoring center, for a couple of games
because of injuries and also many
be without the help of Hank Goldup
and Bingo Kampman, couple of
other casuals, tonight.
While this best-of-seven series is
under way in Boston and Toronto,
the other playoff clubs will be busy
in best-of three eliminations, with
the fourth-place New York Rangers
at third-place Detroit and the sixth
place Montreal Canadiens at fifth
place Chicago.

Arcodions Tie City Pin Mark
With Sensational Triumph;
King Pin Girls Near Flag

Having tied their own all-time
city-wide record of 737 that cli-
NAKED a 2,010 score, Arcadia's
pennant-inspired pinmen today rev.
eled in one of the most sensational
triumphs ever recorded in the "a
year-old history of the Mems Dis

From start to finish last night
at Lafayette the battle between two
of the country's leading duckpin
teams was a whiz-bang. Arcadia
grabbed the opening skirmish, 65l

with a TOO score. The Lafayettes
also probably set another unique
mark by being shut out with a

former with a last game of 154 was

yesterday, when he put together a
brilliant 6-under-par 66 that put
him at the head of the field and also
apparently lifted the psychological
weight from his shoulders.
Rarely has Snead played better
golf than yesterday. In 18 holes
over one of the country's tougher
courses he was off the fairway once,
missed one green, and 3-putted once.
For the rest he was booming tee

PINEHURST, N. c., March 90
Sammy Snead, who took an 8 on
the last hole in the National Open
two years ago and never has lived
it down, seemed in a fair way to
beat down his Pinehurst complex
today.
Samuel Jackson went into today's
final So holes of the 39th annual
North-South Open golf champion
ship with a four-stroke lead. Closest
to him was National Open Champ
Lawson Little at 139, followed by
P. G. A. Champ Byron Nelson and
Clayton Heafner of Linville, N. c.,
140; Defending Champ Ben Hogan,
l41; veteran Mike Turnesa OF Fair
view, N. Y, 142, and Willie Goggin
of White Plains, N. Y, 143.
Strange Spot for snead.
This was an unusual position for
Snead, who hits golf ball with
accuracy and yet with abandon
and still has been dogged by per-
sistent bugaboo in this traditional
winter tourney.
Five years ago, for instance, when
Snead was just coming up, the P.
G.. A. championship was booked for
Pinehurst. What did Snead do? He
went to the wrong sectional qualify
ing point, and thus wasn't eligible.
Four years ago in the North-S South
he was disqualified for nlisposted
card. Three years ago he played
50 badly that he picked up In mid
| round q
