Not Cooperating
A checkup on most of the filling
stations of lower Delaware dis
closes that most of them are OBJ
serving the closing hour, from z to
z, in the sale of motor oils and
gasoline. While it is not compul-
sorry, they seem to be willing to do
their part and are glad of the op-
portunity to close so that they
may have the evenings off to be
with their families and do as they
see fit. Filling station owners, it
is reported, have been doing a
larger volume of business since
the request for closing than they
have done for several months.
Car owners have been filling their
tanks in order to have enough to
last them. A few stations have
remained open and have not con-
formed to request of government
officials. Instead of trying to as
sist in the conservation of gaso-
line, it would seem that motorists
are buying more and seeking more
pleasure with their tanks filled on
Saturday night. Washington au-
thorities, it is said, will have to de-
wise a different method in order to
conserve gasoline. Action may
have to be taken to limit the sup

S0ftball League
The Kimmeytown Cubs, headed
by Joe West, captured their tenth
victory in the Georgetown Softball
League on Monday night, defeating
the Blue Bens, composed of mem
bers of the State Highway Police
force, by the score of 5-3. So far
this season the Cubs have suffered
one defeat. The race at this time
is between the Blue Bens and the
Independents, headed by Coach
George Keen of the Georgetown
High School faculty. According to
the schedule, the Independents are
to play the Blue Bens on Wednes-
day night and on Friday night. the
Hfghwaymen are scheduled to play
the Blue Bens. The Cubs and In
dependents will clash on August 13
and the Highwaymen and indie
pendents on August Is. Much will
depend on the outcome of these
games as regards the final stand
ings Of the Blue Bens and Inde-
pendents. Insofar as the games
now stand the Cubs are far in the
lead. The playoff, however, may
change the championship. 1t is
understood that the clubs will play
three-game series. Those games
may be between the highest scor-
ing team and the lowest or vice
versa. They then will have play
off. It is understood that it does
not necessarily follow that the
leader of the league becomes the
championship winner when those
play-offs are held.
The Kimmeytown Cubs are made
up of many of the star athletes Of
the Georgetown High School of the
past two or three years and they
have been pitted against some for
mer stars who have attained some
age and are not as active in atf-

UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Argu Pheasant Named After Greek MYTH

A bird Of Asia was named after a
being in old Greek myth. The being
was Argus, and he was supposed to
have shape like a man-except
that he had 100 eyes.
When Argus wanted to go to
sleep (said the old tale) he closed
some of his eyes but kept the rest
OF them open. For this reason he
made ar excellent watchman.
A goddess once set Argus at
work as a Watchman, and he was
faithful to his duty until the mes
senger god, Mercury, came near and
played sweet music to him. The
music caused him to go to sleep so
soundly that he closed all his eyes,
and then was slain.
To us that deed seems a wicked
one, but it was just a myth of long
ago, so I suppose we need not worry
about it.
The name of Argus is kept IN a
region Of Greece called "Argolis, -
and in the name of the argus
pheasant.
The argus pheasant is found in
islands of the East Indies and in
eastern parts of the mainland of
Asia. The male bird is gifted with
bright and beautiful plumage, but

In most pheasant families the
males run in front of the hens dur
ing the mating season. In this way
they show only about half of their
colorful plumage at any given mo-
ment.
The male argus pheasant does
not follow that plan. He has a way
of facing the hen while he spreads
his wings and raises his tail feathers.
He shows her almost all of his
pretty feathers at the same time.
The male seems to be of far
greater size than the female. The
fact Is that he is somewhat larger,
but his long feathers make his body
seem to have more bulk than it
really has.

Winning Contract
BY THE FOUR ACES.
BHdqe SwindIes-No. 2o

The bidding:
South West North East
IA % "a 80
West opened the ace of diamonds,
and South nonchalantly dropped
his king! West naturally assumed
South had no more diamonds. and
therefore was quite sure that an
other diamond lead would be un-
wise. He therefore shifted to
clubs, thus giving South a free
finesse. East wisely refused to play
his club queen, but the jig was up
anyway.
South ruffed his low diamond in
the dummy and drew four rounds
of trumps. When the ace and king
of clubs failed to drop East's queen,
South had to locate the heart queen
to fulfill his contract. That was
easy enough, for East had shown
up with four trumps and four clubs
and had raised diamonds. Since the
raise must have been based on at
least four diamonds, East must
have started the hand with at most
a singleton heart. South, therefore,
took the ace of hearts and finessed
through West to fulfill his contract.
Note that South lost nothing by
dropping the diamond king, since
it would have done him no particu-
lar good to be able to discard a club
or heart from the dummy. Note
also that if West had not been so
violently steered away from a dia-
mond continuation. he might have
led a second round of the suit. Then
South would have had to guess the
location of at least one queen and
perhaps both.
