The Boys Club members and
prospective members gathered
Monday evening in the school
house for a big kickoff rally
launching the candy sale from
which baseball uniforms will be
bought. Mr.. John Hanson, presi-
dent of the County Baseball
League, and also president of the
Little Twilight League of Beth
esda, was guest speaker.
Mr.. Hanson spoke informally
to the boys on the history OF
the formation of the County
League from the time the Ken
sington team looked around for
someone to play, and the Beth
esda team was formed. Then the
Twinbrook team and one in
Wheaton were organized. This
season will see 40 teams playing
throughout the County. He paid
the local team a big compliment
in saying that, though it ranked
low last year in winning games,
it exhibited the best team spirit
and cooperation in playing.
AL Stoughton, in his role as
master of ceremonies, told the
boys that the Boys Club does
something besides play baseball.
1t aims at making better men
and citizens, and that the club
will grow if every boy gives it
all the effort he has. He said the
Club is two-Way street-that
the dade are helping, but the
boys must get in and pitch and
help themselves. The club is part
of a big program, and the men,
bers will learn much and grow
in thinking.
To Carl Dinwiddie, the first
boy to join the club, went the
honor of selling the first box of
candy to Mr.. Hanson.
Under the direction of Mrs.
Carl Burrows, Roger Rossignol
and Eddie Schrader demonstrated
the correct way to make a candy

question which turns up with
amazing regularity. Which is
more proof that many do not
read my column.
Both slow and slowly are ad-
verbs, and either is correct. For
a safety sign, however, Drive
Slow" has more of what adver-
tising men call "punch"-that
is, it is more emphatic, positive
word. Slowly is more suggestive
of leiSurely walking or driving,

Lately, a serious doubt has
arisen in the minds of many
players as to whether a jump
in a minor suit is similarly fOrc-
ing. Some authorities say that
bid like Mr.. Dale's jump to
three clubs in today'S deal is a
strong bid but not forcing. Ac-
cording to this theory, Miss
Brash could have passed if her
hand were a minimum and not
suitable to no-trump play.
I heartily go along with the
school which considers Mr..
Dale'e bid as forcing. It un-
necessarily complicates the bid
ding structure to have too many
variations of meaning for the
same bid If you aren't quite
strong enough to accept the
responsibility of forcing to game,
there is almost always some good
alternative to a jump raise
especially in this day of bidding
three card suits.
For example, if Mr.. Dale had
not been willing to commit this
hand to game, he could have bid
one diamond and awaited fur
ther information concerning the
strength and distribution of his
partners hand.
OF course, with Miss Brash
holding the South hand, we're
wasting our time with all this
fine theorizing. She is going to
bid three no trump no matter
what she has-and whether Mr..
Dale's jump raise is technically
forcing or not.
She made that contract, too,
with the aid of a peculiar-look-
ing but perfectly sound percent
age play. The opening lead was
the seven of hearts and she won
with the jack.
Now it was clear that heart
lead from Mr.. Abel would be
highly dangerous. Miss Brash
had no intention Of caShing the
king of clubs and then f1nessing
dummy's jack. On this play she
might even suffer the indignity
of losing to the doubleton queen
of clubs.
At trick two she entered
dummy with the ace of spades
and returned the jack of clubs.
Mr.. Abel covered with the queen
and the king won. Another club
was led and when Mr.. Champion
played the ten. it was permitted
to hold the trick.
The club suit was now set and
the necessary club loser had
been presented to the defender
who could do no important dam
age with further activity in the
leart department. Miss Brash
now had nine sure winners
against any defense.

Fumous Fables
By {. E. Edgar

FRONT PAGE-F r e n c h
Actress Sarah Bernhardt, her
own best press agent, was
constantly thinking up new
stunts to get her name in
the headlines.
One Paris newspaper ed
itor became so fed UP with
her antics he vowed he
would never print her name
again, except on the theat-
rical page. A few days after
he had made this known, it
was rumored that the ac-
tress had gone out Of her
mind. Assuming it to be a
play for publicity, the editor
refused to print the story.
When the rumor persisted,
however, he decided to make
a personal investigation.
When he called he was
asked to wait. A few min
utes later the Divine Sarah
made her appearance. At
sight of her the editors
face turned white. There
was a wild look in Bern
hardt's eyes. her face was
haggard, and the sounds is
suing from sher mouth were
incoherent.
The editor returned to his
Office and wrote a front-page
story of the incident. When
it came but the following
day a storm broke about his
head. Bernhardt, her senses
never clearer, vehemently
denied what he had written
and threatened to sue un-
less he printed a retraction.
Too late, the editor realized
that he had been duped
again.
