Mad Manual Tells
How to Win Games
Without Cheotinq
THE THEORY AND PRACTICE
OF CRAFTSMANSHIP
BY Stephen Potter. Henry Holt
& Co.; $2.50J

From England, where playing the
game" is a matter Of almost reli-
gious Importance, comes this charm
ingly subversive booklet which in
structs the inept in "the art of win
ming games without actually cheat
ing" AS Mr.. Potter solemnly ex-
plains in the introduction to his mad
little manual, gamesmanship is SIM
ply matter of unnerving your op-
ponent. One quotation will serve to
illustrate the principle. IF you
can't volley, wear velvet socks. :"
That is refinement of clothesman-
ship. Other maneuvers include show
ing exaggerated solicitude for your
opponents comfort, fostering dis
trust of his partner, suggesting that
his etiquette is not quite up to par,
drawing wavy lines on the lawn
tennis court, standing in his line of
vision and then showily leaping
aside during billiards, limiting that
you are used to faster company at
bridge, indicating to him that he has
bested you in love and might have
the decency to let you win a trivial
golf match. All these gambits are
fair to the gamesman and are evi-
IDENTIFY only ineffective when one
gameSman meets another and the
war of nerves results in stalemate.
The work Of Stephen Potter, di-
rector of special features for BIC
"Gamesmanship," Is illustrated with
Victorian vignettes and crafty in
tricate charts showing various
"ploys." It is a perfect example of
the English talent for elaborate
spoofing and should make an ideal
gift for your weekend hostess who
is inclined to be strenuously ath-
letic, and should insure your exclu-
sion from any competitive sports
during your stay. M. Meg.

The four-term No housekeeper
of the Nation spent some of her un-
accustomed leisure writing the new
est and folks:est book about the
Roosevelt administration, WHITE
HOUSE DIARY" which was pub
lished this week. Since she got
that out of the way, she's settled
down in her snug apartment at
1547 North Falkland lane, Silver
Spring, to entertaining her five
grandchildren, who live nearby,
knitting for them, working on
needlepoint and listening to good
music on the radio.
Shed never want to go back to
the White House now, she said the
other day. She stayed one year
with the Trumans. but found things
quite dull in contrast to the five
ring circus" that the gregarious
Roosevelts kept in motion. And after
arranging meals for President
Roosevelt, an exacting and tenn
peramental eater who liked fish,
game and seasonal dishes, she found
the Truman taste for roasts, steaks
and chops quite monotonous.
Wouldn't Have Missed It.
Mrs. Nesbitt is, at IA, an erect,
trim lady who does not look her age.
A grandmotherly type with white
hair waving back from a kindly,
alert face, and the hands of
woman who has done much hard
work, she sat in a rocking chair in
her small living room and rem
inisced about those demanding years
of handling domestic crises in the
Executive Mansion. 1T was hard"
she admitted "but I wouldn't have
missed it for the world"
During those trying days when
the President was off his feed and
the newspapers accused her of rul-
ing him with a rod Of iron," Mrs.
Nesbitt says she took her cue from
Mrs. Roosevelt, who always over
looked such public criticism. I'm
crazy about Mrs. Roosevelt" says
Mrs. Nesbitt warmly.

Mrs. Nesbitt keeps an autographed
picture of Mrs. Roosevelt and sew
eral shots of the official family with
others from Mr.. Winston Churchill
and Mrs. Churchill on the wall of
her living room.
A longtime Hyde Park neighbor
Of the RoOSevelt'S, Mrs. NeSbitt came
here with her husband, Henry F.
Nesbitt, who became custodian of
the White House, at Mrs. Roosevelt's
invitation in 1888. When her hus-
band died in 1888, Mrs. Roosevelt
went with her to the funeral. In
the years that followed she super
vised the care of 60 rooms and 20
bathrooms and learned to cope with
l 200 for luncheon, 5000 for tea and
a hundred or more for dinner. She
also learned the dietary require
ments of such prominent liberties"
as James Roosevelt, Cordell Hull,
Harry Hopkins and Henry Morgen-
thau, thus earning the unofficial
title Of Secretary Of the Interior"
Even the dogs which followed the
Roosevelts around had their diet
lists.
In writing white House Diary"
she relied on the diary she kept,
complete with recipes and menus,
and the letters she wrote to her
far-fiung family during the war.
She talks just as she writes-in a
simple, sensible manner, as one
woman to another.

TuANS10 +. OOOAILAS.
This book is biography of John
Peter Altgeld, one of those men who
is damned by his own generation
but who benefits from a review of
the evidence by historians.
Mr.. Barnard is an admirer of the
native of Germany who became
Governor of Illinois and who, more
than any other man, was RESPONSE
BILE for the historic Democratic plat
form of 1896. But his admiration
does not lead him to the adulation
which soft pedals faults and incon-
sistencies in his subject.
The account necessarily gives
considerable space to the Haymarket
tragedy of Chicago and the sorry
trial which followed it. Thirty -one
persons were indicted; eight were
brought to trial and convicted.
Seven of the eight were sentenced
to be hanged, the eighth to Is years,
imprisonment. OF the seven, four
were hanged, one ended his own
life and the sentences of two were
commuted to life imprisonment.
When Altgeld became Governor
he pardoned the three men in pri-
son, and a storm of abuse almost
submerged him. In his later years
many of those who had attacked
him revised their opinions.
There is much here not only for
those interested in organized labor
and its progress but also those in
terested in the courts, including
the Supreme Court, and their han
ding of labor problems.

kenya Herds Harried
By Lions for First
Time Since 1895
BY Leigh White

Foreign Correspondent of The Star and the
! Chicago Daily News.
NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov. 3.-Dairy
farms on the outskirts of Nairobi
have been attacked by lions for the
first time since 1885.
Farmers suspect that the maraud-
ing lions are bored residents of the
Nairobi National Park. Mervyn H.
Cowie. chief trustee of the park,
however, insists that they are
strangers to Nairobi and probably
came in from the uninhabited plains
beyond the Ngong Hills.
Wherever they came from, four
lions raided Glynn David's farm
not long ago and killed five cows
worth $1,000.
Mr.. David, who was reused from
his sleep. rushed out with q shot
gun and fired twice over their
heads. The lions, busily eating, paid
no attention.
Tries Auto Headlights.
He then got into his automobile,
turned on his headlights, and tried
to disperse the lions by blowing his
horn. When they still paid no at
tention, he drove up to the largest
male and began to prod him with
the bumper.
The lion merely dragged his COW
out Of the way and went on eating.
Mr.. David and a group of his
African laborers finally got rid OF
the lions by firing more shots into
the air, blowing horns, ringing bells
and setting fire to nearby patches
Of grass.
It didn't occur to them to shoot
the lions because Nairobi is part of
a game reserve in which all animals
are protected.
Park Lions Have Alibi.
Replying to Mr.. David's charges
that national park lions were re-
sponsible for the raid, Trustee Cowie
issued the following statement:
"It is easy to blame International
park lions for the misdeeds of any
lions within range of the park and
difhcult to prove otherwise.
I'm spite of their tolerance with
unreasonable members of the visit
ing public, the park lions may, Of
course, be as naughty as any others.
But, while having every SYM
pathy with Mr.. David in the loss of
his valuable cattle, in this case
must claim for our lions an alibi
almost as convincing as in the recent
lion raids at Songhor."
/ Mr.. Cowie's alibi was that his
lions had eaten heartily the day be-
fore.
/ At songhor, however, where lions
are not protected, o. c. Harries went
out and shot the elder of the pride.
which had killed a number of his
cattle.
/ A pride" is family of lions.
r. L. Palfrey, farmer of Tanga,
Tanganyika, got so tired of being
raided that he, too, sought venge-
ance by killing the elder of the pride.
In his case it was an old lioness
which. in IA days, had eaten eight
cows, two donkeys and several goats,
all belonging to Mr.. Palfrey.
II Other Animals Are Pests,
Lions are not the only wild ami
mails that East African farmers. have
to contend with. An occasional hip
popotamus or rhinoceros causes
trouble, and so do elephants.
Herds of elephants have recently
been raiding palm-nut plantations
along the Kenya Coast. Elephants,
too, are protected, and it is against
the law, for farmers to kill them.
Game wardens are, accordingly,
building bonfires to scare them
away from the plantations. Palm
nuts, a favorite elephant food. are
used for making oil and buttons.
