Yachts with maStS higher than

have a scenic section of the
Potomac above the Lincoln Me-
mortal Bridge barred to them
under a proposal to be aired at

Building by the Army Engineers.
Under present plans. sta
tionary span would be built just
above Memorial Bridge.
Another proposal to be heard
would go much further. This
would permanently close all draw
bridges in the Washington area.
Should this be done, only yachts
with masts shorter than Is feet
would be able to cruise above the
railroad bridge northwest of
Hams Point.
Among other things. this pro-
posal would limit the size of both
pleasure boats and Coast Guard
patrol craft attending the annual
Capital Power Boat Association
regatta between Memorial and
Fourteenth street bridges.
Any boat owners and repre-
sentatives of yacht clubs who
would like to be heard should
show up Tuesday at room 500 in

whether all hands will forthwith

Nick Skertich Proves
Rare Case For Doctors

East Chicago, Ind. - On
November 4, 1866, one of Chi
cago's top specialists discov-
cred a rare medical problem
and performed a wonderful
job of major exploratory sur
gerry on veteran tamburitza
player Nick Skertich of Ham,
mond, Indiana.
Seems as though nature
had mistakeably planted an
additional piece of pancreas
at the outlet of the stomach,
which had started to grow its
own insulin gland among 9TH
er things, and would certain
ly have been fatal in years
to come.
The so-called polyp would
have eventually digested the
stomach itself.
So interesting was the
case that it was the topic of
discussion at the meeting of
Chicago's Medical Associa-
ton. A very rare case indeed.
Nick was a member of the
former Skertich Bros. Tam
buritza Orchestra, who dis
banded. six years ago. Still
very active in the tamburitza
field, Nick is a soloist and
music arranger for the very
promising Cavaliers Tambur-
itza Orchestra.
f. At. this opportune time,
Nick wishes to thank all of
his friends for the cards and
letters of encouragement, and
especially thank the Almighty
above for the successful
operation.
