TWO HOLES IN ONE., LAYING in the President’s’ Cup match at the Belle Haven Country Club near Alexan- dria Sunday, Joe Trundle, patent attorney of Washington, made two “holes-in-one” on an erratic shot from a sand trap near the fifth green, accredit it or not. Instead of blasting the ball from the trap, Trundle topped it out in the wrong direction. It sailed straight for an automobile being driven slowly along the Fort Hunt road which di- vides the club's course. Noticing its direction, Trundle prayed for a miracle. ‘The miracle happened. The fact that both front windows of the car, a sedan, were down had given the golfer two holes to hope for. He made both.

CURIOUSLY enough, it's the dead- liest snake, the most ferocious lion and tiger which draws the spec- tators at the Zoo. So it follows that the new pirayas, the tiny, man-eating fish of the Amazon and other tropical | South American rivers, are attracting much attention at the Department of | Commerce Aquarium. | The 8-inch fish on display here are | the most blood-thirsty type of piraya, beautifully colored in green and irides- cent red. They have pugnacious, jut- ting lower jaws and cruel teeth. A school attracted by some bleeding ani- mal in the water can strip the flesh from the bones in an incredibly short time. Scientists say that a large percentage of South American river Indians bear the marks of the savage little flesh- eaters on their bodies. * x ¥ ¥ FARM FACTS. | THEY may be somewhat shabby- | looking for lack of paint, but soi per cent of Maryland's farm houses are in “good to fair condition,” a re- ,PLiliPalm;:rn | 11 Staeer B Bevwisn F& G We feature Kayser's Mir-o-Kleer Hosiery Slvénd/(u'p/ BEWARE, eseof imitations.

CLEAR AS A ACID THROWING LAID TO REJECTED SUITOR| By the Associated Press, CLEVELAND, September 17.—De- tectives arrested Joe Studney, 21, yes- terday and charged him with hurling acid which marred the facial features of a 24-year-old mother, endangering her sight. Detectives said Studney told them: “I wanted to disfigure her so that no one else would want her. Then I could marry her, no matter what she looked like.” The woman, Mrs. Helen Bonewicz, was taken to a hospital, where physi- clans attempted to save her sight. Mrs. Bonewicz told the officers she informed Studney a week ago she did not want to see him again. Studney, who met Mrs. Bonewicz a block from her home today, produced an ice pick, witnesses told police, and threatened to take his life. Mrs. Bonewicz wrested the pick from him and ran. Studney chased her for three blocks before throwing the acid. WILL YOU LET US EXPLAIN WHY Are Bullt to Operate at Low Cost Ralph J. Moore Coal Co. Phone Potomac 0970 MOUNTAIN LAKE!
