MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
: Bv ELSIE WHITE HAINEs

civilization destroyed by the Goth
Vandals and other barbarians.
During this period man of cul-
aure was quickly Unidentified as an
Irishman, or one who had been
educated there. Charlemagne sent
to Ireland for monks who laid the
foundations of French culture.
Ridpath the historian, says of
this period, "After the light OF
ancient civilization had faded into
medieval darkness, covering the
earth as water covers the sea, men
at last glimpsed through this pail
a beacon in the western sky, a
harbinger of new and finer civil
ization, glimmering upon the altars
of an Irish temple. Like the cul-
ture of the Greek it first illumined
its own place and then sned its
radiance upon the world"
Which brings us down to the
period of the invasion of Ireland
by the English-and to the end of
this story-for far be it from us
to recite the many reasons for Ire
lands hatred for England-any-
way the Irish have no distaste for
America, and why SHOULD she not
love us-are We not her own? We
are told that recent study of the
muster rolls of the Continental
army disclosed without doubt that
nearly half the men were Irish.
Certainly Maryland benefited by
the immigration of Irish to our
shores-if there is any doubt about
the fact that the so called English
settlement of Maryland was not as
much Irish, we have only 10 delve
into old land grant certificates
you remember it was customary to
name their new lands after places
in their native countries-there is
hardly a town or county in Ireland
not represented on these early
grants.
The thought behind this story is
now that it looks as if barbar-
ians may once more conquer most
of the earth-will it be possible for
us to hold on to our culture and
civilization and some day be an
Ireland TO the rest of the world ?

J U L Y

July, the seventh month of our
present calendar, was originally
the fifth month and called by the
Romans "Quinctilis". After the
death of of julius Caesar, it was
named Julius" in his honor-be-
ing the month of his birth. Our
Anglo-Saxon ancestors called July
the "mead month" because of its
meadows all, abloom.
Larkspur, known as the flower
of haughtiness is the flower of the
month-the ruby its stone. The
stone signifies constantcy = it
varies in color from deep red to
pale rose red-the most valued is
the so called pigeon blood.
Because they are under the in
f1uence of the sun (Leo) persons
born this month are apt to be fiery
in temperament, generous and open
handed, and both men and women
quick to react emotionally. AL
though naturally sunny they have
very positive likes and dislikes.
The outstanding day in July is
of course, our Independence Day.
The old-fashioned calendars men,
toned also that "dog days" begin
the 3rd and that St. Swinthin's is
on the 18th.

What do you know of Ireland,
save that it is the land of green
grass-witty men with long upp II
hps-merry girls. with dary tresses
and "eyes put in with a dirty
finger" who love to laugh and jig
Of course we have thought of it
as the home of the Irish liner
handkerchiefs-and we have all
heard the tale of st. Patrick driv-
ing the snakes out of the Emerald
Isle-indeed some of the stories go
so far as to say that the smallest
bit of Irish soil will kill a snake
in any land!
Some of us have kinfolks among
the 'boys" now in Ireland, we
think those boys are going to learn
surprising things about the coun-
try, which Mr.. Haskins describes
SO aptly as "a mixture, of history,
scenery, song, ships, and linens"
They will have the opportunity

that our boys are near great ship

find that only one per cent of the
flax used in the linen industry that

about 100000 persons-is .grown
in Ireland, but is imported from
the Baltic States and Soviet
Russia. This last few years the
embroidery has been done in China
where labor is so cheap-so just
how Irish is the Irish linen of
today?
A paper read at a club meeting
by Mrs. R. L. Hickerson of Ger
mantown, so intrigued us that we
have since read everything we
could find on Ireland and the Irish,
did you know that
st. Patrick was not an Irisnman
but the son of a Roman official
and a noble lady of Gaul-born in
387 at a time when France as well
as Scotland and England were
provinces of the British Empire =?
AS a small child he was kidnapped
and taken to Ireland where he
tended sheep.
Ireland holds the record of be-
ing the only Nation to accept
christianity without bloodshed -
and its conversion was most time
ly, for shortly after the barbarians
swept over the rest of Europe
leaving destruction in their wake.
For centuries it was the only
place in Europe with educational
.advantages--all the Irish asked of
those coming to their shores was
"do you love learning? Those who
were in earnest were given shelter
and education free in the various
monasteries Of the Isle.

We were interested to find that a
letter written by Mrs. Edwin D.
Fry of Laytonsville about the
work accomplished by the ii girls
of the Senior All Club of which
she is the leader, had won a place
in the paper and an award of a
flag set for Mrs. Fry.
Here are some of the activities
of the girls since Mrs. Fry became
their leader last October. They
cooperated with the American
Legion and the Boys All Club in
organizing and manning an ali
spotting post. The girls all learned
to knit and made blocks for
afghans-they again cooperated
with the boys club in the salvage
of paper and other needed mater
ials, with proceeds equally divided
between the clubs.
During the winter a study of
nutrition and foods products was
carried by all club members-some
fine demonstrations resulted-one

"Rib Artists Function
 In Hockey Leagues

Many of the fistic flareups that take place between the players of rival hockey teams on the ice result from the effort of "rib" artists on the clubs.
 A rib" artist, as most sports fans know, is one who tries to get the goat of another player regardless of the sport in which they are engaged, by dint Of cutting remarks designed to work thin-skinned athletes into a dither.
 And very often they succeed, with the result that the athlete who takes such things to heart gets trip to the penalty box because he cannot refrain from taking poke at the ''ribber''.
 In baseball they call the lads who taunt opposing players jockeys. but in hockey they are just plain, everyday "ribbers" who employ a choice line of the Kings English but embellish it to suit themselves in hopes of getting one of their oppo- nents angry enough to take a swing at them.
 When it happens, the "ribber" usually goes his blithe way while the fans call the referee "Robber". It is often difficult to tell from the spectators seats just what has been said that gets hockey player into a towering rage. The officials often know that it is just gag on the part of one of the players but they are powerless to do anything about it and have to call a penalty when the ribbed" one swings from the heels at his oral tormentor.
 But that's all part of the game and the player who gets caught by the old trick of "ribbing' just bides his time until he can hand it back to its source, usually with interest And quite often the remarks ex- changed by players during mixup on the ice are said to be harmless enough to pass a Sunday school test, but we'd hesitate to bet on that.

BEAU JACK AND TIPPY LARKIN
 IN TITLE BOUT
Lightweight Stars Meet Next Week for N. Y. and
 N. J. Championship

New York, December II. = A new world lightweight champion to fill the throne vacated when Sammy Angott abdicated several weeks ago, will be determined at Madison Square Garden on Friday night when Tippy Larkin, of Garfield, N. J., and Beau Jack, of Augusta, Ga, clash in a contest scheduled for fifteen rounds.
 Larkin and Beau Jack are the only two l35-pounders in action to- day who boast perfect records for 1942. Neither has lost fight this year; neither has been held to a draw. Larkin has won ten con- tests in AZ, seven by decisions, three by knockouts. Beau Jack has scored twelve straight victories this year, five by decisions, seven by knock outs.
 On November A Abe J. Greene, president of the N.B.A., issued a statement in which he said: Tn the last ratings issued by the N.B.A., Allie Stalz and Tippy Larkin had been classified as the logical con- tenders, which placed them in the class just the champion. Defeat of Stolz by Beau Jack automatically moves Jack into that classification. ''
 Boxing fans the country over agree with Greene and therefore en- dorse the action of the New York and New Jersey State Boxing Con- missions: designating Beau Jack and Larkin as the men to fight 1t out for the right to fill the vacant throne.
 Beau Jack knocked out Stolz at the Garden a month ago. Larkin's $ last start also occurred month ago when he trounced Freddy Archer in Newark. Both of Fridays princi- pals are in hard training, Beau Jack at Stillman's gymnasium in New York, Larkin at Bev's camp in Sum- init, N. J.

 LOU TO TURN IN
 A MAJOR UPSET
Nova Has 2O-POund Edge and Better Left Hand for
 "Last Chance" GO
By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

tUm1eed Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Dec. II (U.P0 - It's "KF" of "KO" for mysterious Lou Nova tonight as the California screwball goes after the pugilistic jackpot for the third time in a To- round bout with young Tami Mau- riello of the Bronx. at Madison Square Garden.
 If Nova's new-fangled "KF" punch paves the way to victory be- fore an expected crowd of 13,000, he will win the right to a title" bout with Jimmy Bivins, Cleveland Negro for the interim heavyweight cham pionship." This is a title which Mike Jacobs says will prevail until Serg- cant Joe Louis gets out of the army
 Despite this modernistic "KF" which Nova insists has nothing to do with his previous Yogi, Cosmic and dynamic blows. betting men of 18th street have made him the 1895 underdog.
 Going We'll
 Mauriello, 22, is favored because of his youth, stamina and punch. The young, dark-haired Italian has been campaigning successfully as a heavyweight this year. His achieve ments included victories over Tony Musto and Lee Savold and draw with Bob Pastor. His only setback was the dropping of a close decision to Bivins.
 Meanwhile Nova, now 27, is mak- ing his first New York appearance after being knocked out in the sixth round by Louis in September, 1941. He had chance at the jackpot that night. but he failed miserably, tight ening up like a novice. He threw scarcely a punch and was even more disappointing even than in 1889, when he was given bloody beating by Tony Ga1ento at Philadelphia - just when he seemed to be going places fast.
 Game" Enough
 Noya's failures when the chips were down, have been unexplain. able, because he displayed excep- ticnal courage and ruggedness in two battles with Maxie Baer and in a meeting with Tommy Farr. There's no question of his game ness.
 However, in tonight's engagement Lou will have advantages of exper- fence and weight. out-scaling Tami about 204 pounds to 1855. He has a much better left jab than his younger opponent. who merely Hicks with the portside glove. However, Tami is much better body puncher
 We're a sucker for the mysterious. That "KF' captivates us. We know that Nova realizes this is his last chance on the big time. So we pre- dict that screwball Lou will turn in an upset and beat Mauriello in a laundering fight.

 The squad from which the Col Hers All-America is chosen is made up from nominations by ten veteran football writers covering all sections of the country, who have earned the respect of both coaches and fans. Their idea is not to pick a team that might beat some rival lineup but to reward those who have contributed most, those who have shown the greatest al-around ability.
 In view of the closeness of the vote for many of the positions on the team, Golfers this year pub fishes the nominations made by each of the judges, in addition to the final choices.

BegnaIs, Brennans
 In Setback Duel

Our fair city had new battle of the century, last night when Ray Begnal,s Bearcats tangled with Francis Brennan's Boo -Hoos in 8 setback contest for the champion ship of East Main street. There was no possibility of finding out which team was the winner. for each side stoutly insisted that it had given the other the business end of a shilla- 1ah.
 Such cheating hasn't been seen since Finn McCool wore rompers. The Begnals would cheat first, then the Brennans would cheat more, and that's without the word of a lie. It would co an old setback player good to see the way in which the boys gave their signals. in all innocence. of course.
 Blimp Brennan's restaurant, where the match was held, was lucky to end up in one piece. Sixteen ex- tra cards, including five aces of clubs, were found by the clean-up man this morning.

riple Tie In
 National Hockey
(By United Press)

The Toronto Maple Leafs went into a first place tie with Chi cago and Boston in the National Hockey League Thursday night when a scoring spree in the last two periods produced a 2 to 2 triumph over the Chicago Blackhawks.
 Big Babe Pratt led the Leaf at tack with a goal and two assists as Toronto poured in four goals in five minutes of the second period for its winning margin. Gaye Stewart and Ed Hamill each tallied his 18th goal of the season to remain deadlocked for the league lead.
 Hamill sent Chicago out in front with the only first period goal but Carr, Hamilton, Hill and Mclean all scored for Toronto in the second while Chicago was blanked. Pratt, Taylor and Stewart scored in the final period as Dalhstrom counted the Black Hawks final goal.
