in the tiny German village of
Kempten, there are a number of
very worried people, and their
worries began when the world
did not come to an end with a
second flood, in December last
year, All Of them belonged to a
strange religious sect which calls
itself the Chosen Sons of Kemp -
ten.
The sect made itself knon tor
the first time in 1947, Joseph
Prinz, the sixteen -year-old son
el a Kempten widow, died, and
shortly afterwards his mother
called on Father Reber, the par-
ish priest', "You must make Jo-
seph a saint," she said.
The priest, deciding that she
did not literally mean what she
said, replied there was no doubt
that her son was in heaven, "No,
no," she said, "he's a saint; he
has been proclaimed one by the
Chosen Sons of Kempten. You
must set up an altar for him in
the church, and tell the Pone to
proclaim him, too,"
The following day father Reber
had another visitor. This time it
was an old man with long, flow-
ing white hair and beard, called
Peter Triller. Triller made the
same demands as the woman the
previous day. '`I," he said, "aro
St Peter, and 1 know how things
are ordered in the Kingdom of
Heaven. All this is the will of
the people of Kempten, who have
voted thus."
When the priest refused to lis-
ten to him, he found that his con-
gregation dropped almost by half.
Instead the Chosen Sons set up
a "shrine" in the room where
Joseph Prinz had died. It cost a
mark to go in, and Peter Triller,
"Saint Peter," "cast Out demons"
for another ten. A second "altar"
was established under the widow
:Prinz's kitchen table, because her
son had once fallen down there
In what appeared to be a fit, and
the Chosen Sons could be seen
crawling industriously under the
liable,
In due course their "prophet-
ess," a certain Maria Stork, an-
nounced that the world was go-
ing to suffer a second deluge on
December 26th, 1953, Only the
Chosen Sons of Kempten would
be saved, by having recourse to
their ark. This ark was none •oth-
er than a house in the village,
No. 15, Saenger Street. The
faithful were 'to take shelter
there on the day, and they were
not to concern themselves with
flow the ark would float; it was
ordained that it would float.
The 'results were remarkable.
Peasants gavenup going to work;
•Fina ly Pl� tl '" 1d'their property:
Many others incurred debts and
obligations which they could not
possibly fulfil. The day duly ar-
rived; a handful of journalists
appeared in Kempten; the faith-
ful took shelter in No. 15 Saenger
Street. And nothing happened.
For many of the chosen the po-
sition now is grave indeed, They
leave sold all their goods. They
have given up their jobs They
lace legal actions for debts they
never expected they would have
to pay. And the "ark" remains
obstinately upon dry land.
FOOLISH QUESTION
A guy walked into a restau-
rant one day, sat down at the
counter and ordered a cup of
coffee. To the amazement of the
roan next to him, when the cof-
fee arrived he very carefully put
seven spoonsful of sugar into it.
Then, without stirring it, he
started to drink.
"Why don't you stir your cof-
fee?" the other man said,
The guy shrugged. "Who likes
itsweet?"
HER DEFENDER
"When, darling," the girl whis-
pered tenderly, "did you ',first
know you loved me?"
The boy thought. Finally he
said: "When I began to get mad
when people said you were
brainless and ugly."

Of mathematical exactitude in the

Tf you're a snooker f:xn' you
probably know that the great Joe
Davis is the only man ever to
accomplish a break of 146 — 1
point short of perfection.
"Is" did I say? Sorry. "Was”
is the right word. For Joe's great
feat has been equalled by a lad
not even old enough to vote.
Here's how it came about:
The starlet who accomplished
this break of 146 in the game
that has ousted English -style
billiards from the tables is Rex
Williams, of Blackheath, Staf-
fordshire. He is only 20 years of
age but the real significance of
the achievement is that only one
other man in the thousands
of centres this fascinating 22.
ball game is played -- mostly
throughout the British Com-
monwealth has ever before
managed it. That one other man,
as if any snooker fan wouldn't
know, is Joe Davis, today a
hearty 53 years of age and
playing as well as ever he did
when officially world champion
for 21 years, from 1927.
* * *
The Chesterfield' maestro re-
tired as world champion in
1946 to give, as he said, "the
youngsters a chance." But the
youngsters did not, or could not,
take the chance, They took it
in turns to wear the crown dis-
carded by Davis but in chal-
lenge mateches he kept beating
them all, even on a generous
handicap basis,
Now, at long last, there has
emerged young Rex who at the
outset of his career has managed
to equal the best old Joe ever
did at any one single visit .to the
table in more than 30 years.
And all over the snooker world
they are asking if this youngster
of all British professional cue-
ists is going to be the one to
succeed the man who has strode
Colossus -like through snooker
as Bobby Jones died through .golf
and Paavo Nurmi through ath-
letics.
* *
To close students of snooker,
Williams' rise has not been ex-
actly meteoric. Ile has been at
the game . ever since he was
table high. In 1950 Rex was the
English- youths'' billiards cham-
pion. The following year he re-
tained that 'title and added to it
the snooker one as well. Thus
at the, early age of 17 years he
started carving niches for him-
self because never before had
ODE player managed to win both
titles in one year.
n * *
On deciding to take to the
True for ills living, young Rex
a
The game, which is said to have
got its name from "snookers"
(young cadets) who first intro-
duced colored balls on the table
as a variation from the normal
three -ball billards game that'
helped to pass away , their time
in India's rainy season, starts off
with one white ball and 21 col-
ored. The white is always the
cue ball and the others, 15 red,
one black, one pink, one blue, one
brown, one green and one yellow
.each has its value.
1 f t
Highest for Maestros
Each red ball remains down
once it has been "pocketed" and
after doing so a player takes a
pot at a color of his choice, For
mere tyros it is usually the near-
est but for the maestros it is in-
variably the highest. That is to
say the highest in scoring worth.
The value scale is seven for the
black, six for the pink, five for
the blue, four for the brown,
three for the green and two for
the yellor. Each red counts one.
After a color has been put down
it is returned to the table and a
n d
player must put another red
down before trying another color.
Thus you will see it is possible
for the 'black to be potted 15
times before all the reds have
been deposited. Then the colors
are put down in sequence of
their ascending value. The maxi-
mum score is 147, although by a
freak chance of being given a
free ball from a fatal shot by the
opponent before any of the reds
have been put down it is pos-
sible to reach 155 But the
chances are several millions to
one against it ever happening.

So 147 remains the accredited
maximum.

That maximum was actually
attained by a New Zealander,
Clark McConachy, during a match
at the Meaufort Club, London, on
Feb. 19, 1952. As however an
official measurement of the pock-
ets afterward found them to be
slightly over standard measure-
ments, • she .record was disallowed.. .
The old record of 146 established
when Joe Davis played the Can-
adian champion, George Chenier,
at Manchester, England, in Feb-
ruary, 1950, still stood. Now it
has been equalled by young Rex
Williams.

Riding ids-sa,''die
The Queen had some last-min-
ute practice riding side-saddle for
Trooping the Colour. She did it
in Windsor Great Park just be-
fore the actual ceremony in Lon-
don's Horse Guards Parade.
Normally the Queen leaves
Royal Lodge by a little -used side
entrance to ride out towards Vir-
ginia Water and across the wide
expanse of Smith's Law, the
Great Park Airfield. And nor-
mally she wears jodhpurs and
sits astride.
But for her last ride at Wind-
sor before the ceremony she went
out riding side-saddle and head-
ed her horse down a sloping ride
leading away from Royal Lodge's
main entrance towards the Home
Park and Castle.
The Queen was accompanied
by a male groom and not one of
• her girl grooms, as has been cus-
tomary lately, She was not on
her usual mount, and the groom
several times advised her on cer-
tain points of riding her horse.
The Queen does not really like
riding side-saddle, but always
makes certain that her perform-
ance at Trooping the Colour will
be perfect by practising shortly
before the day of the ceremony.
