District League pennant scrap by a
total-pin margin over Hi-Skor,
while King Pin held third place, one
game behind the two deadlocked

and lost 81 each.
While Brookland, led by Georgia
Hays 131 and BAT, was trimming
Lafayette, 81, last night at Lafay-
cite and the visiting King Pins

Silver Spring, the invading Ana

the heaviest wallops as the sur
prising Spillways won the first two
games from Hi-Skor with SAT and

Silver Spring won the first game
from King Pin, GIT to 507, as Helene
Boyd led the attack with 142, but
the flag-contending King Pin quint

games, 632 to 587 and STA to 518.
Mary Browns $50 and Trudy
Rasch,s 148, turned the tide for
King Pin in the middle skirmish,
while Jessie Keith's lusty 1853 was
the big edge in the last tilt. Mrs.

Rehabilitation Work
In Germany Outlined
To Women S Bar

Rehabilitation work by military
authorities in Europe already has
brought coal production in Ger
many's Ruhr Valley to 10 per cent
Of normal, James A Stillwell Of the
State Departments War Areas
Economic Division told the first fall
meeting of the Women's Bar Associ-
alton last night.
Mr.. Stillwell, recently returned
from overseas, pointed out that after
the last war it took five years to get
Germany's coal production up to
normal.
'It will not take nearly that long
this time" he predicted, but he
warned, "It is Of most vital concern
to all Of us that the public interest
be thoroughly behind the entire re-
Mobilization problem If we are to
avert widespread starvation and suf-
fering in Europe this winter"
First on List of Helps.
Mr.. Stillwen put coal first on the
list of helps which this country must
lend Europe; transportation, sec
ond, and food, third.
He told how 250,O00 tons of sugar
beets produced in France had rotted
because there was insufficient fuel
and transportation facilities to get
the products to reflneries.
AS for the peoples of the liberated
countries themselves, he continued,
never once did I hear the grum-
bling which has been attributed to
them in this country" He said he
saw farmers plowing and cultivating
everywhere, prodding for mines with
makeshift sticks and sometimes even
dying from mine explosions in their
attempts to increase availability of
land for planting.
II came away realizing that, given
the right sort of support and equip
ment, these people could produce
the food necessary for minimum
economy" he said.
Delegates Are Named.
The meeting was conducted at
the Mayfiower Hotel by Mrs. Sara
Nero Williams, president of the as
ISOLATION.
The group named Miss Carolyn
Royal Just chairman of its dele
cation to the Fourth Conference of
