this Congress will serve for
three years and would not be
eligible to run for office before
their terms are up.
Under rules adopted by the
Daughters several years ago,

Shirley MacI.aine was chris

born April "a. 1884. Her parents
were Ira o. Beatty, then a musi-
clan and now a real estate
agent in Arlington, and the
former Kathlyn Mclean. who
had acted in little theaters in
Toronto and taught dramatics.
After the family moved to
the Washington area, Shirley
attended Washington-Lee High
School. She was a cheerieader
and active participant in other
school activities. Having started
with ballet lessons at the age
of 3, she turned pro in a couple

Wallis signed the understudy

snap judgment was confirmed
by a subsequent screen test.
That old movie ending turned
out to be really the beginning

Then came a September
night when Miss Haney had
to drop out again and Miss
MacLaine again took over for
her. Lightning may not strike
twice. but this just happened
to be the night Alfred Hitch

stopped in to see Miss Haney.
What he saw, instead. was
enough for him to place an
immediate long distance phone
call, dragging Mr.. Hitchcock
away from the dinner table.
Never heard of Shirley Mac

his friends as he returned. He
did look at the screen test MIR.

Break For An Understudv

ENTERTAINMENT

THERE are those other than
Shirley MacLaine and her
friends who can be delighted
that the 2l-year-old Arlington
lass seems definitely marked
for Hollywood stardom.
No leading lady of a Broad
way musical, for instance, could
feel a moment of security were
Shirley back in the chorus line
cast in an understudy role. It
isn't that Miss MacLaine might
throw things from back there,
or even engage in unauthorized
mugging to steal a scene.
It's just that things seem
to happen. not to Shirley,
exactly. but for her. You may
think of that yarn about the
young unknown who steps into
the leading role and wins fame
when the stars falls i'll as Just
an overworked movie fable. For
Shirley. it may be overworked.
but it is no fable.
1t was in the spring of 1854
that Miss MacLaine got her
first break. a pun that is un-
avoidable. The break was in
Carol Haney'S ankle. Shirley, a
vivacious youngster. with per-
sonality, talent, a moderate
amount of experience and the

in a virtually flawless 34-24-34,

Registrar Warns
Against Flood Cars

Beware of the car you buy
whether new or used. Re-
quire the seller, whether he
be a dealer or a private in
dividual, to give a written
guarantee that the car was
not submerged in the recent
Hood, Every dealer should re-
quire the same guarantee on
every car he buys.
This is the advice which
the Registrar of Motor Vehi-
Giles, Rudolph. F. King, gave
to the public today. He said
many of these cars may be
unfit to be operated and
hence unfit to be registered.
1t has been reported to Re-
gistrar King that flooded
cars, many of which were
considered total losses by the
insurance companies, are be-
ing dumped in large numbers
into the hands of dealers and
others within this Common
wealth and in other states.

Inc two All American teams composed of often

CORY Of All American teams will be chosen, as il
lustrated by the following example
THE NEW FOOTBALL RULE
A player Withdrawn from game during the first
or third periods may not return during the period
from which he withdrawn
Players withdrawn from the game before the
final four minutes of the second or fourth neriods
may return during the final four minutes of the
period in which they withdrawn but if with
drawn during the final four minutes of either the
second fourth periods they may not return during
that four minute period

third periods and was only able to play in the
and fourth periods In the boat Egbert Bip-
pidu, erst while tackle from Cucumber College He
took his licks in second fourth period plays and
only played regularly in the first and third periods.
Wa HAPPENS?
Sigmund is chosen All American on the Second
and Fourth Period" team. Egbert gets the All Ameri
nod for the First and Third Period" team Pro-
jecting the point further, could have many All
American teams as there combinations of the
four periods.
Another shOrtcOming be illustrated by the
new Vanishing American the Point after Touch
uo"h SpoCidhSb. II MS scores more imam once
In any given period he only legally attempt one
point after. Maybe the Rules Committee will allow
this specialist to compose backlog during periods
when his team fails to score
Another innovation may be the erection of a
processing station. Some official probably an ex-
pert in statistics will have to screen the players as
they enter and leave the game. To insure that one
man will not re-enter the game in the same period
the players will have the time stamped on their
hands, at the process station.
There are countless other problems that will come
to light in the football season.
Returning players from the now defunct Often
sive and Defensive patOons, may develop split per-
sonalties when they have to play both ways For that
matter they may not be the only ones in need of psy-
chiatrc treatment. Move and make room for the
