Pass the weeping towel, Throck-
morton, Coach Mike Lombardo
wants to shed a few salty tears over
his Maryland mittenmen.
Honestly, we haven't any business

Saturday night" he moaned. Its
a clear cut case of homicide to send
these kids against that outfit and
I'll be guilty as an accessory before
the fact. But what are we going
to do? We just can't call 1t of, can
we? Or can we?"
Advised OF Lombardo's frame OF
mind, Coach Edmund r. La Fond of
C. U. simply grunted twice and
reached for the aspirin.
IT don't like to hear they're In
such an unhappy frame of mind. 1t
makes us sad and anybody who
knows boxing can tell you a sad
fighter can't fight. He gets sympa-
thetic. He wants to put an arm
around the other fellow and console
him. When he does the other guy
biffs him en- the kisser and he's a
much sadder fighter than he was
before. No, I don't like the looks
of it. I wish Maryland was happy
and confident"
La Fond Fears Bear Stories"
Lombardo says the brief vacation
between semesters is playing havoc
with his boys No school, no train
ing. and no training, no good. He
hears they've been working out at
the Junior prom. He hears so many
versions of how his fighters are liv-
ing he wonders If he'll have eight
men strong enough to climb in the
ring and get bowled over by the
Cardinals.
All this makes M. LaFond even
unhappier.

a bear? Neither have I, but they
tell me It's very painful"
Lombardo, however, believes he'll
have a 165-pounder available for
duty Saturday night. This is a pleas
ant surprise inasmuch as the Terps
were figuring on conceding at the
weight. One John Butler has been
training for the role and there is
possibility Josh" Hughes may be

indefinite period of time as 6 pos sible site for playground activities.
 Commissioner Helen R. Hitchcock requested that clause be added tc the motion, in the interests of tho Rockville Community Club, which she said, was very much interested in the property and land for com- munity club house.
 Her request was granted, and the Rockville Club will receive 8 copy "i the report of the committee on schoolhouses.
 More than year ago, when It was first proposed to close the school, the community club protested viz. orously and forced the board to hold several public hearings before the commissioners finally ordered the school closed. At that time, the club asked for an opportunity to take over teh building for recrea- ton hall.
 Tn making her request, Comlnis- sioner Hitchcock said that she was doing so in order to give the com munity club an opportunity to act on the Board of Education's recom- mendation to the Board of Alder men.
 The report further adds that the building is fire hazard at the present time. During the discussion by the commissioners on the phase of proper protection of all schools now closed, 1t was revealed that the Rockville school was never boarded up and vandals have had an excel lent opportunity to use the building for destructive purposes. Most of the windows are broken, and the in- terior of the building is extensively damaged.
 It is expected that the Rockville Community Club will ask the Board of Aldermen for an opportunity to bid on the building and property. If this is denied, the city fathers may decide to convert the property into playground.

 She sought to calm him. "Yo,, make curious. I keep secrets, and I am not afraid of many bugaboos, pr. Hale.'
 But this isn't scary thlngsl Not not snakes or ghosts or childish doings. IT can't even phrase 1t! This is something that will revo- lutionize civilization itself!"
 Carolyn began to sense the in- tensity of his feeling. Curiosity became tinged with vague sense of alarm. Her lower lip tucked in and she gazed intently at him, try- ing to understand.

 His study was down a hall and through an inner glass door with his name lettered on 1t, and as he approached the door, up four S1oW steps, he gradually became consci- ous of girl standing there. He paused and looked owl-eyed ct her
 She was an extraordinarily pret- ty person. That much was instantly clear. She had e stature somewhat shorter than his own. and hair as dark as his. The hair fell to her shoulders and bounded part way up again in an orderly if oddly in- tricate set of curves and curls. Her eyes - most surprisingly were as violet as Leana Sormi's and her skin almost as fair. She wore a spring. ish street costume of simple but highly becoming lines. pr.

 How do you do?" she greeted him. You must be Dr. Hale. My name is Carolyn Tyler and you wrote me to call"
 "Oh." The days work had been of transcendent import to Dr. Hale anyway, and now violet eyes were trained upon him. He repeated, "Oh."
 "Your advertisement said 'spe- cialized secretary willing to face cer- tain exceptional conditions at ex- ceptional conditions at exceptional pay That interests me on both counts, sir, as I wrote you. I'm a bit early, but am eager to start.'

AWed by what he knew now to be true, pr. Robert Hale backed slowly away from his observation chair moving as if under a hyp' notic spell. The sheer potency of what had occurred here seemed to have numbed him even though it vas expected and planned.
 He glanced once at Miss Sormi She knew! She looked ehostly. her eyes wide as she waited there by the door gazing back spellbound at the great unit in full realization of what 1t contained.
 Neither spoke until they were outside.
 "Rotertl' She whispered 1t tremulously, and repeated, Rob- ert!"
 Faces strained, they were still staring back In.

 "No! No, moi"
 "Just to throw the switch Leana. You know that must be done!"
 The switch was a massive bar; Miss Sormi stood transnxed while he put both hands to 1t and pulled. The weird hum that had domina- ted their laboratory stopped in- stantly, as If genuinely glad of its own release, but the silence that followed was almost tangible thing.
 Robert glanced at the windows, verifying for the hundredth time that they were both high and barred. The steel door across the room he knew to be doubly locked, Back near Leana Sormi, he paused only to push button that con- trolled the lights, then moved out side and locked the door. They walked hundred yards toward the offices before either spoke again.
 Don't be uneasy he labored to say 1t easily himself. "Go about your personal routine
 "Yes, Robert"
 Say nothing, of course. I--I shall take the precaution of setting an armed guard. A man, several men, with rifles"
 "Rifles!" She spoke contemptu- ously.
 Dr. Hale nodded, looking afar off T know. Impotent now. Leana. But-only you and I know! You and I! The only two people in the world who do knowl The only two people since-since Creationl"
 He was literally shaking under the power of his thoughts.
 "You and l." murmured Leana, Two people. You and l."
 For an eternity they stood there, dark-haired. hatless young man and blond woman in white, just thinking, trying to grasp it, striving to be sensible in the face of their achievement. A factual two min- utes passed and he turned toward the office door. He inhaled deeply.
 "There is no hurry" said he. "No hurry at all. Leana. We absolutely must be calm at this stage. The armed guard will serve as a pre- caution. It may be several days before we-before we can-well everything must be recorded first Leanai The records must be

MODERN EDITION
 OF BIBLE READY
First Changes Made in l0O Years; Essential Mean-
 ings Maintained

The new English edition of the New Testament, just approved by the Pontifcal Biblical Commission, will be published on Biblical Sum- day, May 18, according to an an- nouncement just made by the Ro- man Catholic hierarchy.
 This edition marks the first changes made in the New Testa- ment in 100 years and has been five years in preparation. It marks distinct step towards simplifying and bringing up to date the pas- sages without destroying the es- sential meaning of the same.
 It is of interest to note that Archbishop John G. Murray of St. Paul, native o fthis city, was a member of the Episcopal Committee of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine which took charge of this monumental work. The new text will be known as the Confraternity Edition.
 The edition is based on the Latin vulgate and the Challoner-R Rheims text.
 The last revision of the New Tes- lament occurred in 1750 - Bishop Challoner's.
 Students of the Testament, churchmen, and clergy are gener- ally agreed that the revised edition will supply a long-felt need for @ simpler, modern day English, and completely standardized as to capi- talization, punctuation, etc., Bible.
 Trained and experienced biblical students were the actual revisers, but mitch valuable assistance and advice was contributed by noted authorities on the Bible, while final proofs were widely distributed to assure both accuracy and read ability. Cannes. Brazil has established A

Charm-that badly overworked

| forget that, when we plan our
houses and feel the necessity of
certain standard pieces of furni-
ture. certain types and quality of
floor coverings and all the other
bits OF standard equipment that go
into the doing of a house. thought
should be given to whether it is
right for us.
A desk, for instance. Certainly
every house should have a desk, a
nice desk, an imposing one that
will be a wall decoration in the
living room. So we go down town
and purchase 4 solid mahogany
break front secretary that costs
nearly 500 and is lovely to look
at =. really does make beauti-
full decoration on the long wall in
the living room. And the job is
done. except for the fact that you
suddenly realize that the incest
wall space in the room has been
given up to piece of furniture
that has no use in your house.
For the head Of the household
might do all his bookkeeping and
letter writing in his office with the
aid OF an efficient secretary and you
are q notoriously poor letter writer,
scribbling note to mother and
your closest friends from the kitchen
order desk. The children have study
tables in their own rooms, where
their little notes are written-so
here we are with 500 spent
for valuable -taker which
adds nothing to the charm, or
"ived-in" quality of the most i'm
portant room in the house. That
is the mistake all of us make at
least once, and most of us make
more often, in furnishing our houses
With what every one else has rather
than what We 1eed and want.
Suitable for Others.
This same secretary in the living
room OF a gentle lady who writes all
her invitations and thank you"
notes herself. whose friends adore
her beautifully written letters, would
be worth its weight a thousand
times because it would be an inti-
mate part Of her life It would be
open always, with exquisite and con-
tinually used writing appointments,
its cubby holes and tiny drawers
would be full of mementos and
treasures from friends all over the
world. The shelves above would
contain percious volumes of the
letters of famous people, and the
drawers below would have orderly
files of lifetime of correspondence
This one piece of furniture would
burst with charm, with the use and
meaning it offered every day in the
year and truly this room would be
lost without it.
We are so often afraid to make
decisions about household furnish
ings because we are afraid to be
wrong 1t is both embarrassing and
expensive. But if these purchases
were approached from the point of
what is right for us, rather than
what is the accepted and universal
choice we could not go very far
wrong.

ished, looks all right" but still

Stripping means running narrow
bands of paint around the walls, a
few inches from and parallel with
the wood trim.
The width of the stripe, its color
and the distance from the wood trim
will usually depend on the size of the
room, on the amount of decoration
required to offset the obiectional
plainness, and also on the boldness

Building Standards

Public Plan Designs
And Choose Materials

Home seekers in every part of the
country are approaching home
ownership more intelligently than
ever before-their interest in design,
planning and sound construction
whetted by the emphasis placed
during the past decade on proper
building standards-an architectural
adviser to the Federal Government
declared today.
Through home building services,
the press and magazines, prospective
home owners are acquiring practi-
cal appreciation of building prob
lems," said Pierre Blouke, architect
adviser to the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board. "As a result they
have become more aware of the
value of technical assistance and
are taking advantage of the services
that are being made increasingly
available through thrift and home
financing institutions.

furnishings are so often delightful
because something has been created
to fill real need and in doing so a
charmingly personal effect is
evolved that cannot be duplicated.
Try standing in the middle of your
living room some day and viewing it
at ali points of the compass. See
If you have, first of all, the things
you need for the kind of life you
lead. A chair to sit in, for each
member of the family. which in

or two left over for the friends who
drop in; table to put things on
not e dinky little toy on wobbly
legs that you bought at a sale,
but table with a wide top and
sturdy underpinnings that holds
agazines and books and all the
things your family likes; small
tables with lamps to read by and
elbow height for your sewing; a
foot stool if you are short from
the waist down and can never touch
the floor when you relax in a deep
chair All these things are of first
importance.
Color and Light Next.
Next to that is color and light
the two items that react upon your
soul and nerves to give you peace
and contentment or the jitters, and
last, but never least, the decorations
-. the pictures, flowers, draperies
cushions, all the little things that
make room perfection, selected
and spaced with meaning. If you
find all of these as you turn, oues-
ton whether they are grouped

for decoration Sometimes, six
inches one way or another may
make a group much more attractive

way. Very often changing the ar
