Baby, prize entry in a livestock show. gets a tempting
luncheon offering from chef Paul Debes in the china shop
of a department store. Looking on is Tom Gibbons,
youthful owner of the prize beef.
A writer in London, England—
Sydney Skilton by name—in a re-
cent column made 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-
duct such an argument.
:K * *
Be that as it may, Darts really
seems to have been going places of
recent years; as the following facts
—for .which: eve" acknowledge. our
,indebtedness t� the afore -mentioned
Mr. S.—will bear witness.
Formerly 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 forward to the divisional finals
which are scheduled from March 13
to March 30. By this date the com-

star Vic Mature is being .sued
for divorce by his third wife,
Mrs. Dorothy Jane Berry Ma-
ture. The couple is pictured
above during happier times.
They eloped to Yuma, Ariz.,
and were married in February,
1945. This will be the third
divorce for Mature.
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.
e * •
Darts, now that it has cast its
social stigma- and because of sim-
plicity and 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 bar-
rier.. It is played as; entliusiasticaliy
in Mayfair as it is in the wo,rkitig
men's institutes.
All that is required to play Darts
are a few darts, •a numbered dart-
board (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 which
to put a mark nine feet away.
Strongly recommended also is a
piece of protective wood to prevent
the darts of inaccurate throwers
from changing the pattern of the
wall around the dartboard too much.
* *
Nine feet away may sound a very
short distance for folk accustomed
to throwing other spike missiles like
javelins or harpoons but, a begin-
ner is just as likely to make+a big
score as to miss the board alto-
gether. A dart scores accbrding 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 aiin 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,)54, 9, 12 and 5.
,k * *
As the game has advanced so
has the fashion in implements. No
longerslo 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
rahimnlering alloy or plastic. Stance
and style of throwing are discussed
by the fans as eagerly as they.are in
conection with cricket or tennis
strokes.
Chile's, Great
ainless Port
k*
There are numerous variations on
the theme of Darts. The game most
generally favored in and around
London is for 301 points up. Ac-
tually it is 301 points down because,
la 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 enericling
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' -peony,
for instance?
ie 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 over the town.
Offshore is Little Scorpion Island,
painted white with guano. Fishing
boats careens- among the harbor
rocks and bursting spume, and sea
birds fly by in dark curtains for
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 folic 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, plus the
quick - edged severity so typically
Chilean, also a cosmopolitan air
from contact with the people of all
lands
Arica is dominated by the hand-
some bulk of El Aforro, 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 ,. o its
flanks cling the adobe f,icabnli' •the
poor, tinted a dozen colors `'tile;
raised flags of all nations ° sl
The best view of the entire`:,,Own,
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 summit 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,
thg far yellow bulk of the workers'
colectivo, or model governnent
housing, our eyes constantly strayed
off to the mystery of the desolate
desert and sand hills.
There the old Inca trail, where
the railroad now comes down from
the mountains, was worn thousands
of years ago, and over it still come
llama, mule, and donkey herds, . In-
dians with basketry and silver.;#Turn;
Peru and Bolivia. Over thi s re
route, by llama and mules,'= ,e
rich silver frons the Potosi n ,..
Bolivia, all during the.,tim
e4•SS n
ish rule. It was that silver trade
which first made Arica the port
that it is today.—From "The Long
Land," by Carleton Beals.

Golden Text: "He that hath My
word, let him speak My word
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 come true, or if they led
the people away from the worship.
of the true God. Deut. 13:1-1.1:
18:20-22.
The false prophet was not sent
by God. His message was a vision
of his 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 37?i 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.
