A writer in London, England --
Se
ngland—S+ ,Ivry Skilton by name—in a re -
tent column glade the somewhat
startling assertion that Darts has
become far and away the most
popular indoor game in Britain.
And while we have no reason to
doubt the good faith or veracity of
Mr. Skilton, we have an idea that
it wouldn't be too hard to start a
very interesting debate over the cor-
rectness of his statement, although
the columns of a family journal such
as this probably mightn't be the
most suitable arena in which to con -
duet such an argument.
*
l;e that as it may, Darts really
st ruts to have been going places of
roe fit. Fears, as the following facts
—for which we acknowledge our
indebtedness to the afore -mentioned
Me .ea—will bear witness.
lrornterly the throwing of winged
spikes at a target was just a public -
house pastime. Now it is a national
custom, Entries for the last com-
petition, organized in 1948-49 by a
national Sunday newspaper, reached
the astounding total of 318,567. For
the new competition they are ex-
pected to reach nearly half.a million,
And as that will include only the
topnotchers who aspire to cham-
pionship honors the over-all num-
ber of players up and down the
country must run into millions.
Aspirants to championship hon-
ors have until March 9, 1950, to
get their local area tournaments
settled. Then the field will have
been whittled down to a mere 64.
The successful competitors will then
go forlvard to the divisional finals
which are scheduled from March 13
to :tfarch 30. By this date the com-
Matures Split — Hollywood
star Vic Mature is -being sued
for divorce by his third wife,
Mr. Dorothy Jane Berry Ma-
ture. The couple is. pictttred
aim e during happier tinges,
They eloped to Yuma, Ariz.,
and tvere married in February,
1948. This will be the third
divorce for Matin -e.
petitors will have been reduced to
eight. These eight will then be in-
vited to assemble on April 15 in
London where at the Empress Hall,
Earls Court, there is to be a grand
gala occasion. Traveling -expenses
of all competitors requesting them
from the area finals onwards will
be met by the promoting organiza-
tion.
Darts, now • that it has cast its
social stigma and because of sim-
plicity anti compactness, has won
an honored place for itself in the
home, the club, the varsity, the
youth centers and, indeed. any place
where people gather socially. Age,
sex or social position form no har-
rier. It is playedas enthusiastically
in Mayfair as it is in the uorking
melt's institutes,
.
All that is required to play Darts
are a few darts, a numbered dart-
board t this is a circular target of
wood; bristle, rubber or fiber). a
wall on which to fix it head high
and a piece of flooring on 1c11:ch
to puta mark nine fes. au ay.
Strongly recommended a; is a
piece of protective u.Jt i to prevent
the darts of ina<iurate throwers
from changing the la:tc-i of the
wail ar, - n'; the art'' c rruch.
• of
N.ne fee of 1"' aG a very
shert di_ ...e for t accustomed
to ti.re a'sg other ke missiles like
javelins or harpoons aut. a begin-
ner is just es likely 80 make a big
score as to miss the board alto-
gether. A dart scores according to
the section in which it rests. The
sections of the board are numbered
from 1 to 20 but they are cunningly
contrived that, if you aim at :he
big score and just miss it you get
a small one. -Starting at the top of
the board and working clockwise
round the numbers run, 20, 1, 18, 4,
13, 6, 10, 15, 2, 17, 3, 19, 7, 16, 8,
11, 14, 9, 12 and 5.
* * ,r
As the game has advanced so
has the fashion in implements. No
longer" do you use darts left behind
by the, previous player. Not in ser-
ious competition, anyway, -Here the
darts are instruments of mathemati-
cal precision, carefully weighted and
balanced, with aerodynamically de-
signed "flights" and bodywork of
shimmering alloy or plastic. Stance
and style of throwing are discussed
by the fans as eagerly as they are in
correction with Cricket' or tennis
strokes,
*. * :5
There are numerous variations on
the thence of Dartsa The game most
generally favored in and around
London is for 301 points up, Ac-
tually it is 301 points down because,
in contrast with most games, you
are credited with your full total
of points before you score them. As
it is necessary to start on a
"double," which 'means throwing a
dart into the outer ring cncricling
the board, it sometimes happens that
one.. player reaches zero and wins
while the other, unable to get a
"double remains at 301 and loses.
The loser is then said to have been
"whitewashed."
* * *
All of which sounds very intrigu-
ing indeed, Still, to get back to our
opening paragraph, we still take the
liberty of doubting that Darts ac-
tually is "far and away the most
popular indoor game in Britain."
What about—well, shove ha' -penny,
for instance?
Chile's Great
Rainless Port
'The rainless port of. Arica is
handsome with its cream - colored
Pacific Hotel fronting the sea, and
the great sea headland, El Morro,
which towers right Aver the town.
Offshore is Little Scorpion Island,
painted white with guano. Fishing
boats careen among the harbor
rocks and bursting, spume, and sea
birds fly by in dark curtainsfor
hours on end.
This northernmost city of the
'Chilean coast seems worlds apart
from the rest of Chile, from which
it is cut off by desert and distance.
Its people are different too, gay,
spritely, yet kindly and gentle. They
have the peculiar alertness of border
peoples everywhere, the keen glance
of folk who live in busy seaports.
They know at glance whether you
are North American, British,
• French, or something else. The
folk here have something of the
artistic grace of Peru, to which
Arica once belonged, phis the
quick - edged severity so typically
Chilean, also a cosmopolitan air
front contact with the people of all
lands . ,
Arica is dominated by the hand-
some bulk of El Morro, a white -and -
dark -banded headland, shaped like
Gibraltar, which rises up a sheer
six hundred feet -out of the sea. It
gives character to this garden spot
set here on desolate sands. To its
flanks cling the, adobe cabins of the
poor, tinted a dozen colors like the
raised flags ofall nations ..
The best view of the entire town,
of course, is from El Morro, reached
by climbing steep streets, past a
small white monument celebrating
the Battle of Yungay, January 20,
1839, the first big victory in the first
war that Chile waged against Peru
and Bolivia.
From the sunnnit of the bold
headland,' we gazed far across the
Pacific and right down on Little
Scorpion Island with its white -
thumb lighthouse, its guano and
roosting birds; down upon the
green parks and Hotel Pacifico,
with its sea -front promenade of
palms and benches above kelp-
covered sand and rocks .
In spite of the green bower just
below us, the red -tiled roofs, the
massed gardens, the church towers,
the far yellow bulk of the workers'
colectivo, or model 'government
housing, our eyes constantly strayed
off to the mystery of the desolate
desert and sand stills.
There the old Inca trail, where
the railroad now copies down from
the nlotuitains, was worn thousands
of years ago, and over it still conte
llama, mule, and donkey herds, In-
diuus with basketry and silver from
Peru and Bolivia. Over this same
route, by llama and mules, carne the
rich silver front the Potosi mines in
Bolivia, all during the time of Span-
ish rule. It was that silver trade
which first, made Arica the port
that it is today.—Front "The Long

Jen 23:16, 21.32.
Golden Text: "He that hath My

faithfully." Jer. 23:38.
Every age has had its false
prophets. In ancient Israel, they
were to be put to death, They were
identified as false if the prophecy
failed to conte true, or if they led
the people away froni the worship
of the true God. Deut. 13:1-11;
18:20-22,
The false prophet was not sent
by God. His message was a vision
of bis own heart, or a dream, yet
he dared to give it in the name of
the Lord. Thus the people were
deceived, Taking comfort from
these lies, they continued in their
evil ways.
Standing in contrast, is the
prophet ordained of God and de-
livering His 'word. His message is
compared to the other as wheat to
chaff. Further, "Is not My word
like as a fire? said the Lord; and
like a hammer that breaketh the
rock in pieces'?" "The word of
God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing even to the dividing
asunder of soul and spirit, and of
the joints and marrow,and is a
discerner of the thoughts and in••
tents of the heart." Heb. 4:12.
