the formers father. After the last
race, as the crowd surged out OF
the srandstand, Jimmy spotted
what looked like a wad Of money
lying on the ground.
Gingerly he made his way through
the mob and snatched up the ball

Without q word Jimmy handed
the stranger $40.
Thank you very much. son." the
man said, then whirled and hurried
away.
You're a chump," Charlie told
Jimmy. IT that man had been the
rightful owner OF the money you
found he'd have said he lost $40
not just $20!"
Charles right" put in Jimmy's
father. Chances are he was just
lamenting the fact he'd lost $40 on
the last race. He probably thought
you were some crazy son of a mil
lionaire, passing out $40 bills just
for the fun OF it,"
Members of the Young Peoples
Club Of the Church Of st. Thomas
the Apostle held a "weinie roast"
recently In Rock Creek Park. When
it was over the president. Tommy
De Battiista OF Gonzaga High
School, asked Sam Lee, also Of
Gonzaga, to carry case OF empty
soft-drink bottles to the home Of
the boy who had contributed It,
TITS just up at the top OF the
hill," Tommy said, motionIng toward
Park road. "It's only about q AVE-
minute walk"
The Park road hill-from Pierce
Mill to Klingle road-turned out to
be the longest hve-minute walk
Sam had ever taken. You said
1t would only take f1ve minutes and
it took at least 49," he protested
to Tommy

back.
We'll, no-o-o," was Tommys
thoughtful answer. II usually get
somebody else to carry the bottles"
Some boys in an outlying section
OF the city have been having what
they mistakenly label fun" by
dousing passengers on streetcars.
With stirrup pumps belonging to the
father of one Of the boys, who used
to be an AFRAID warden, they lie in
ambush, so to speak, behind hedge
beside the cartracks. When a car
with opened windows comes by. they
bear down on the pumps, and
swish somebody gets wet.
The other night, the boys were
doing their usual mischief when a
policeman appeared. They grabbed
up the pumps and ran.
One boy, little slower than his
companions, almost ran into an
other policeman, approaching the
scene of the crime, to call the lark
by its right name, from the other
direction.
Poky. as We may as we'll call him,
dropped to his hands and knees and
started crawling. Finally, the police
mans fiashlight found him.
What are you doing?" the oficer
demanded.
Looking for worms" Poky ans
wered. I'm going fishing in the
morning"
I'm going fishing tomorrow. too"
the policeman said. do you mind II
I join you7"
When Poky finally managed to
elude him, the officer was still
crawling around on his hands and
knees, looking for worms
III he'd only known it," Poky ad-
mitted in telling the story, he had
one all the time-and let 1t get

Beginners are admonished by
more seasoned players not to take
their partner out Of q business
double" To do so Is generally con-
sidered an offense second only to
trumping partners ace. However,
there are times when 1t can be
disregarded and should be. The
judgment Of card analyst Is neces-
sary to determine that time.
Charles Geier. playing the hand

partner out of her double of an ad-

that he did. The opponents were

Smithsonian Shows
French Master Etchers

Some French Etchers of the 10Th
Century" an exhibition on view in
the Smithsonian Building until Au-
gust 4, has been drawn from the
permanent collection OF the Division
of Graphic Arts, United States Ma
tional Museum. 1t has the freshness
of temporary show, due to the fact
that these prints are seen only at
intervals, and in different combi-
nations.
The selection of u etchings was
made to constitute "a rough cross
section of French etchings during
the notable revival in this art, which
took place during the middle Of the
10th century," according to Jacob
Kainen, curator Of the division. A
majority of those on view were gifts
from J. L. G. Ferris and his wife.
For more than a century after
Rembrandt, etching waned as a Gre
ative, original art. 1t was revived in
France in the third and fourth dec
AIDES of the 10Th century, chiefly by
the landscapists. But the great his
torical painter Delacroix, ardent ro-
manifest who played so important
role in the 10th century French
painting, made about 20 etchings
which have the free. sketchy ap-
pearance of pen drawings. One Of
these, "Jewess Of Algiers," dated
1888, is among the earliest etchings
shown.
Charles Emile Jacque was the first
of the Barbizon school to give most
of his time and talent to etchings;
his work began to appear in 1841.
Three prints on view are typical,
dealing with peasants and other
humble people, and also exemplify-
ing his linear technique: THE Re-
turn" (sheep re-entering the fold)
"The Butcher" and Man Grinding
Knife"
Rural Subjects Appeal.
Charles Francois Daubigny, also
of the Barbizon school, began To
etch In the sos, and continued to do
so at intervals for nearly 40 years
Rural subjects appealed to him, such
as "Daybreak" in the current show
quiet scene with Growing cock and
hens
Millet and Corot, the outstanding
geniuses OF the Barbizon school, each
made small number Of etchings
Millet's 20 plates are the most i'm.
portant, akin to his paintings ir
character and force, as one can see
from "Shepherdess Knitting" Corot
made only about Is etchings. His
landscape Souvenir Of italy, is rep
resentative.
Almost contemporary with Millet
were lesser known but gifted etchers
Adolphe Appian Of Lyons, repre-
sented with an idyllic little scene OF
a crane at the edge Of lake, and
Adolphe Hervier, by whom is shown
miniature landscape In etching
and roulette, and a farmyard scene
in etching and aquatint, done with
delicate, fine lines. Another land
scapist was Theophile Chauvel, q
single example of whose work is on
view.
| But none of these artists did work
of greater delicacy or more exquisite
technique than Felix Braquemond
modestly exemplified in . small
plate, Rabbit Hunt" Another out
standing technician was Jules Jac-
juemart, whose admirable still life
study in etching and drypoint Is on
view
Braquemond Founded Society.
Braquemond and his friend
Charles Meryon founded In 1853, the
Etchers' Society. an important fac
tor In the French renaissance OF
etching. Meryon is considered by
some authorities to be the greatest
etcher France has produced. His

Walter Reed Show

An exhibition of paintings and
drawings by soldier-patients at WAL
ter Reed General Hospital was hung
early this month in the Red Cross
Building there. Five works were
singled out for honorary awards.
About 80 water colors, crayon and
pencil, ink and wash drawings, COM
prising more than half the exhibi-
ton, were the works Of one young
man, T/3 Richard Stevenson. His
water color Rural Interior" re-
ceived the blue ribbon; but at least
six others OF his works surpassed
1t In promise. His New England
Harbor" was definitely better in
composition and color; and several
OF his ink-afd-wash drawings In two
colors indicated that his forte is
line.
The red ribbon was awarded to
M/Sergt. Randolph Viviano's oil
still life, and the green ribbon
(third award to water color land
scape by Sergt. Lucius Salisbury,
both strongly simplided works.
Fourth and NTH awards went to
Pfc. Frank Hines abstract water
color, THE Lost Week End" and to
Pic. Arthur Zoebelin's caricature,
Sunlight Through the Stars" re-
spectively. Both artists were repre-
sented by sufficient number of
works to give an idea Of their tai
ents: Mr.. Hines in abstraction and
Mr.. zoebelin's along humorous lines.
The most mature painting in the
exhibition. in my opinion, was Pfc.
Francis Monico's expressionistic
Struggle" an oil. There were also
some pleasant landscapes and ma
rines by Sergt, Robert Barrow, water
colors strictly traditional in char
acter.

Will Check Radioactive Rays On Bikini

NORFOLK, Va, Mar. 20, (P)- Scientists flying from the Carrier Shangri La in helicopters, will scout Bikini Atoll after the atom bomb test to safety-check for deadly radioactivity. Patrol scien- lists, armed with Geiger counters, which tell them the presence of the dangerous rays, will advise other members of the expedition when it is safe for them to move into the lagoon and land on the islands.
 The Shangri La, outbound from this port Tuesday with a load of equipment more fantastic than any she carried in her wartime strikes against Japan. Aboard was fleet of Drone planes Ghost Hellcat," piloted by remote con- trol, intended to fly through the atomic bomb cloud and bring back samples of poisonous material.
 Each of the brilliant red Drones has a Queen" plane from which controls are operated after the catapult launching from the car rier's deck, because the drones may get out of sight of the Shan gri La will use radar equipment to track the drones and report them to the control planes. The plan is to land the Drones on Roi island in Kwajalein Atoll, one hundred eighty miles from Bikini. The carrier will send up drones when they are twenty and forty miles from the target.

Opening of Fishing Season Delayed Until May l

WASHINGTON, Mar. 20, (P- Delegate Bartlett introduced legis- lation to transfer from the Interi- or Department to the Territorial Legislature, the control of all sal mon and other fisheries. The bill would leave the Interior Depart ment in control over fur seal and fur otters.
 Another bill introduced by Bartlett would permit public util- ity and school districts within the Territory to issue bonds.
 Delegate Bartlett said the Inte- rior Departments action in delay ing the opening of deep sea fish ing in Alaskan waters from March l5 to May l, was shocking" He said the department notified the fishermen on March IA, it had de- cided to delay the opening of the season until May 1, as a conserva- ton matter.
 The action was shocking for the fishermen, there being no previous warning that such action was con- templated. No hearings were held Some had already started from Southeastern Alaska to the fishing ground. Other deep sea fishermen were ready to start the next day. There is no justice in such arbi- trary action"

Thirty-Three Die In Army Planes Crashes

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 20, (P) The crashes of two big army planes in northern California mountains yesterday, apparently took a death toll of thirty-three Army and Navy men, whose bod ies ground crews labored in diff cult terrain to recover.
 TWenty-three bodies, some of them buried in several feet of snow, were found early today. The scene of the CAY crash was in the Sierra Nevada mountains, a mile from the ghost town of Hobart Mills, and seven miles from Truckee.
 A ground squad pushed toward the wreckage of B-29, which crashed with seven crewmen, on the top of a 3,8OO-foot peak near Livermore, thirty miles southeast of San Francisco. The bomber came from Hickam Field, Hono- lulu. Its radio operator reported engine trouble several hours be- fore the plane plummeted to earth ten feet from the top of the peak.
 Witnesses said they saw the CAY explode in the air. Capt. Harold Sinner, commanding Reno army air base, said the wreckage indicated that a wing, not yet found, had been blown off before the crash.

SOME TAXPAYERS GET THE HABIT

BALTIMORE, (P) - Baltimore county treasurer William J. Foley classifies all taxpayers into ta) those who pay, (b) those who don't pay, and-believe it or not Co those who pay twice.
 He says those in class Co aren't motivated by an unusual feeling of generosity toward the county government; they "just want to be honest men," They have bor- rowed from building and home loan organizations which pay the taxes in lump sum-and they file their own returns even though they don't receive tax bills.
