budget director, confirmed by the
Senate, would take over the account

ponents insist on an authority to pass
on expenditures before they are
made, as was done by Lewis Douglas,
who several times prevented what he
considered unauthorized activities.
Senator Brynes, however, says more

done without a ruling from - the ac

Brewers have not said whether
royal patronage of darts has helped
the sale of beer, but the brewing in
dustry fathered darts from the be
ginning as a stimulus to business.
It is an almost invariable custom, in
pubs, each with one or more dart
boards, for the loser or losers to buy
a rouna oi armies after each game.
Brewers organize competition in
darts and award handsome Drizes.
In London alone darts contests or
ganized by only one brewery drew
117,009 entries. Brewers, and man
agers of pubs, organize darts teams
which play first in. one pub and
then in another, thus distributing
the business. " -'' r , -
It was at Slough social center that
King George and Queen Elizabeth
made the acquaintance of darts.
When they looked in the games room,
three games of darts were in prog

shot and expressed a desire to try.
A player "immediately handed her
three darts. ; r';?; ?'
"Where do I stand! What do I
do?' she asked, and was toM.
She threw three darts for a total
score of $1, then handed the darts
to the king and. asked him to try.
The king scored 1$ wi th three darts,
throwing with, bis left hand. He is
