 Bowling Bits

We have come to the conclusion of our first annual bowling league and the boys are awaiting with .eagerness the festivities that are in store for them oil Saturday eve- hing May 2, ie42.-The place Guertin's Redpath Inn on Thomas ton road.
 There Is Q bowler fin our league
 Who's there each week bright
 and early,
 He amuseS the boys with his
 His name, dear EOlks-is Curly. That ball he throws never hits
 the gutter.
 But when it dOes, you should
 hear him stutteF
 Because for him to miss Q mark Is like walking from Derby in
 the dark.
 As a dancer he has no peer,
 It's his second love you know, Bat his first love and dear
 Is . redheaded babe from
 Buffalo. An ode to Curly Barrymore-B sparky.
 As our last week of bowling art passing, we notice that the boyl are splitting the naples for higt scores, their object of course being the prizes and by the looks ol things, no one person is sure of hii individual prize. For instance, las' week Freddie Bartolini camt through with a pretty no score t lead in that department and to datt that smiling roofing contractor Patsy DiFronzo holds fast to thu prize for high three with 8 hug' A2&.

ton that the goods were In transit
and therefore entitled to be admitted
duty free.
After months Of argument the
envoy took the matter up with top
Treasury officials, who were unable
to do away with the adhesive tape
but who courteously suggested a
way around it. It was suggested
to the diplomat that he sign q
declaration stating that the 200
sweaters and 400 pairs of socks were
for his personal use and consequently
non-dutiable under the diplomatic
franchise. The envoy protested that
while diplomacy has not always
dealt exclusively In the truth, he
could hardly bring himself to declare
that 200 sweaters and 300 socks
were for his personal use.
Secretary Morgenthau, who has
the reputation Of being quite busy
man, was finally drafted as umpire
in the momentous question. At this
writing the situation appears to be
well in hand and it looks as If the
war prisoners Of our gallant ally
(whose army is still resisting the
Axis will receive the woolen goods

Nv HELEN LOMBARD.

A new vernacular is sprlnglng up
In wartime Washington. The now
fashioned expression "red tape"
belongs to the happy era when slow
governmental processes were due to
the leisurely habit of mind by golf
ing and tea-ing Washington ofhclal-
dom. Today the expression has
changed; adhesive tape" now de-
scribes the technique used by war
pyramided officials who are jealous
OF each others prerogatives and de-
termined to sit tight rather than
yield an inch in their overlapping
fields.
Sometimes the adhesive tape
refers to large items, such as des-
perately needed ships and Diesel
engines, which stick in administra-
tive pigeon holes. Sometimes "ad-
hesive tape" prevents woolen socks
and sweaters from reaching the
shivering mortals for whom they are
intended.
A group of kind-hearted ladies in
Canada knitted 200 sweaters and
400 pairs of socks for the unfor-
tunate prisoners of war OF one OF
Americas fighting allies. The ar
ticles were sent to Washington to
be added to others and repacked

This statement was at variance

Passed by the House after 218

While this movement was not

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Chairman
Vinson of the House Naval Affairs
Committee said in a magazine
article today that the chief reason
for the Nations "difnculties" in the
battle of the Atlantic was that I'VE
were confronted with the necessity
Of fighting f1ve-ocean war with
one-ocean Navy"
The size of our Navy was the
result of a number of naval treaties
- but we did not see fit to build
up to treaty strength when that
strength was agreed upon by the
parties to the treaties" he said,
writing in Golfers Weekly. Actually
treaty Navy strength will not be
reached until some time this year."
Representative Vinsoh wrote that
Gin the last war we claimed some
where between 500 and 600 certain
and probable sinkings of German
subs-later we found the Germans
had only 140 altogether and that we
actually had destroyed 16."
d" Because of our exaggera-
ton in the last war we have been
ultraconservative about figuring
how many subs we have sunk this
time, but we know we haven't got
many" he wrote.

Acting as spokesman for the Com

which would be to assure the validity
