There are many hands so big that
they will produce a slam with the

because the partner. holding two

mo, It doesn't" confessed Peter.
But there are so many things hap
pening all the time that don't sound
reasonable that I don't know when
to believe q thing and when not to. ="
Peter had planned to 60 about
among his friends and tell them all
about Lightfoot's new horns, for he
suspected that few OF them knew
about them. But after his talk with
Mrs. Peter he changed his mind.
You see doubt had crept in, and in
spite of all he could do it stayed
there. He tried to make himself
believe that he believed that story,
but that miserable doubt persisted.
So. SO his tongue fairly itched to tell
the story of Lightfoot's new horns,
he kept it still.
One night when Mistress Moon
was shining brightly, Peter wan
dered deep in the Green Forest, until
presently he found himself on the
edge of swampy place. 1t was the
very place where Lightfoot the Deer
had spent the winter when the
snow was deep. Peter hoped along
aimlessly. He was thinking so hard
that he didn't watch his step. and
presently he stepped on something
that hurt his foot.
OUGHT" he cried, and looked to
see what it was he had stepped on.
Sticking out of the soft wet earth
was what Peter first thought was a
sharp pointed stick. But when he
looked little more closely, he saw
that it was different from any stick
he had ever seen before. The point
was smooth and polished, and later
when Peter tried his big teeth on it,
he found he made no impression on
1t. At once he began to dig around
it to see what the rest of it was like.
1t wasn't long before he found
that there were other points. A
thought flashed into Peters head,
and he made the soft earth fairly
fly as he dug. for Peter was growing
more and more excited.
At last he had uncoYered all of
the queer stick with several points.
1t wasn't stick at all 1t was one
of Lightfoot's old horns! There was
no question about that. There it lay
right in front of him. Peter gave a

The result of this hand helped
Mr.: Schenken to win the masters

Crawford. who was West, and Sidney
Silodor, who was East.
When Mr.. Silodor bid two clubs
over his oppents opening one-club
bid he showed strong desire to
get to game and that In itself Is
proof of a powerful hand. Then
when he gave the spade response
a double raise he showed his pow
erful support in that suit. Mr..
Crawford, recognizing the existence
not only of a powerful high-card
strength but also of a good trump
fit,s had the courage to make two
distinct slam tries, his bid Of four
no-trunp and his later bid of five
hearts. That made it easy for East
to bid the slam.

Bedtime Stories

BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Though you say you believe that = thing
And you % your bes. 70 believe, you know:
creep
And quite refuse to be put to sleep.
A little doubt like this will keep
right on bothering, and the only way
in which it can be put to sleep is by
finding for yourself the proof that
what you are trying to believe is so.
Peter Rabbit said that he believed
all Lightfoot the Deer had told him
about his wonderful horns and how
they had grown in q single summer.
He did believe 1t while he was with
Lightfoot. for hadn't Jumper the
Hare said that 1t was true. But
when Peter got back to the dear Old
Brier Patch and thought 1t all over,
doubt crept into his mind in spite
of him. He told little Mrs. Peter
all about it. When he had finished
she looked at him queerly.
Peter" said she, "if some one
should come along and tell you he
could take his head off and put it
back on again, I believe you would
believe it. 1t is my opinion that
Lightfoot was stuffing you and that
Cousin Jumper was backing him up
Just to see how big yarn they could
make you swallow"
But, my dear, I tell you that I
saw the rags of the covering that
had been on those horns while they
were growing protested Peter.
Perhaps you did and perhaps you
didn't" retorted unbelieving Mrs.
Peter. Il don't doubt you saw rags
of some kind on Lightfoot's horns,
but 1t will take more than his word
to make me believe that those are
new horns grown this last summer.
1t doesn't sound reasonable. Now,
does it, Peter?"
Evening star., 1943-09-20

great sigh of pure happiness, That
bothersome doubt in his mind had
been put to sleep forever. Lightfoot
had said that his old horns had
dropped off somewhere, and here
was one of them to prove it.
"Lightfoot story was true!"
cried Peter joyfully. Now Mrs.
Peter will have to believe it. If she
don't, Ill make her come over here
and see this horn for herself. When
you tell a story hard to believe, there
is nothing like having proof that it
is true Peter jumped up in the
air, kicked his long heels together
and then started for home, lipperty-
lipperty- lip, to tell Mrs. Peter what
he had found.

South African
Units Work in
Blitz Described
Mrs. Hoal Addresses
Daughters of the
British Embire

How the women of South Africa
living in London at the time of the
blitz organized into the South Afri-
can Voluntary Services" for the pur-
pose of lending assistance to their
fellow countrymen and women was
described by Mrs. B. T. Hoal at a
meeting last night of the Queen
Elizabeth Chapter, Daughters of the
British Empire, at the Wardman
Park Hotel.
Mrs. Hoal is English born but her
husband, a member OF the South
African Government Supply Mis-
sion in Washington, is from Preto-
ria, the capital of South Africa. At
the time of the bombing of London
he was one Of the officials Of the
Of1ice of the South African High
Commissioner in the English capital.
While the South African Volun-
tary Services gave special care and
assistance to their own people,
bombed or wounded during the blitz,
they also worked throughout Lon
don distributing clothing and first
aid to all in need, Mrs. Hoal said
Nation Sent Funds.
AS soon as possible, South Africa
sent large sums of money to be used
by the South African Voluntary
Services in London at their own
discretion, she continued. This
money purchased clothes, tobacco,
medicine and disqualification for
many civilians who had lost every
thing in the bombing.
Mrs. Hoal spoke of the excellent
work which is being carried on in
plastic surgery for civilian men,
women and children.
mo one who has not been in
London can visualize the number of
civilians who have been terribly
burned and are in need of plastic
surgery" she said. South African
money had provided plastic sur
gerry for many of these unfortunates,
as well as recreational facilities
during convalescence, she added.
Many Of the women of South
Africa have sent butter and sugar
to England, to be used in making
cakes specially for these people, -
she said
X-Ray Machine Donated.
Among other needed items, the
South African Voluntary Services
has provided an X-ray machine for
one of the London hospitals, the
speaker continued.
Every South African soldier in
an English hospital receives a par
eel each week." she said, "and on
birthdays gifts are also sent. You
see those boys are 1000 miles away
from home"
Mrs. Hoals personal experience in
London was particularly uncom-
Portable. She told how six houses
directly across from where she
lived, beside the guns of Hyde
Park" were bombed and destroyed
and how she and others in that
neighborhood went for two weeks
with but a jug Of water a day for
bathing purposes.
The speaker remained in London

New England Women Hear
Talk on Districts History

how there were not many attending
the ceremony" she commented
"and gave as the reason there had
not been enough publicity attached
to the occasion"
''The stones used in marking the
original boundary lines of the Dis
trict of Columbia were of sand
stone" Mrs. Chairman said,
brought from Aqua Creek in near
by Virginia"
With the passing of years many
of the stones became lost or buried,
she added, until in 1915 the District
and Virginia OAR located and re-
stored the old boundary stones.
Date Is in Doubt.
"Some historians claim that all
the stones had been put in place
by 1793," the historical committee
chairman said. Others claim they
were not permanent until 1894.
One old stone is still reported to lie
In the cemetary of st. Mary's Catho-
lie Church in Alexandria," the
speaker added.
Whatever the arguments. April
IS, 1791, is accepted as the day the
first cornerstone was laid marking
the original boundary line of the
Nations Capital, Mrs. Chairman de-
clared.
IF you attend the opening of the
Jefferson Memorial on April 13,
remember that two days later will
be the birthday of the District of
Columbia and wish her many, many,
happy returns" the speaker con-
cluded.
Luncheon preceded the program,
which was followed by business re-
ports. Mrs. Frederick Smith, the

the speaker.
