Only the parents of Borland,
among relatives of the two air
men, appeared to retain hope
they may have escaped alive.
Absence of skis from the
plane and the fact the two were
reported to have been equipped
with parachutes was the prin-
cipal basis for their hope.
Provisions in the plane were
untouched, q circumst a n c e

the belief Borland and Eielson
were killed.
First news Of discovery of
the plane was received in a
radio message to the Seattle
Times yesterday from Marion
Swenson, 17-year-old daughter
of Olaf Swenson, owner Of the
Nanuk and head of the trading
company which bears his name.
Miss Swenson, q Seattle high
school student, has been ma
rooned on the Nanuk, the only
woman aboard, since early last
autumn.

When the two took off from
Nome, Alaska, for the Nanuk
they were accompanied in an
other plane by Frank Dorbandt.
Dorbandt turned back to Teller,
Alaska, when visibility became
poor, but Eielson flew on into
the storm.
It was nine days before Dor

Sam started his astounding

He counted nine pins on

give him 1893 in the seventh
frame.
He cut q duece for a count on
the spare, but gathered in all

A monster task faces the

offset the ponderous scores that
have already been registered by
the men and women from New
England and other sections of the
country, their totals in team,
doubles, and singles events hav.
ing gone on the archives of the
national body as all-time records.
At Richmond last year the
District pin maulers, both men
and women, walked away with
every national title, except the
five man event and in the latter
they ran second. To duplicate
that performance, especially in
face of the monStrouS scores
that have gone before, would
amount to a miracle and this
can hardly be termed the age
for that. The invasion Of Water

of pin battlers will appear to

that they will bring back

that are practically certain OF

the local maplers are the all

fate remains to be determined to-

are laying around in the alleys, and
Mayor Stemple is asking that after
the alleys are once clean, that they be
kept clean.
1t was decided to renew all water
lines on Third and Oak streets, at the

TO GIVE AWAY ARTICLES
AT DAIRY Sire SPECIAL
Train Will Be on B. and o. Sid
ing From 8 A. M. Until IL
O'clock Next Wednesday

Every farmer who attends the spec
ial dairy sire train, to be on the Balti-
more and Ohio siding at the Oakland
station from a. m. until IL o'clock
noon, Wednesday, May IA, will have a
chance to obtain a 5-gallon cream can,
a fishmouth milk pail or Horn milk
strainer free of charge, John H. Car
ter, county agent, has announced.
These articles are to be given away
during the program arranged by Mr..
Carter.
The train is being run under the
auspices of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and in cooperation with the
West Virginia University extension
division. Oakland will be the only
stop in Maryland.
Farmers who are interested in bet
ter pastures, growing legumes, and in
improving dairying conditions, should
attend the "Cream Can Special" and
hear the educational program which
has been arranged. j. A. Conover,
dairy specialist of the University of
Maryland, will be present and give a
short talk. Farmers are requested to
bring their soil improvement, pasture
and hay problems to the Special and
discuss them with Mr.. Conover.
"More money from fewer cows" is
the slogan of the special train, and
the program will feature talks and
exhibits pointing to the value of the
motto.
It is known fact that during 1929,
$4,000 so-called dairy cows in West
Virginia did not produce as much
milk, cream and butter as 100000
ordinarily good dairy cows will pro-
duce.
The special will carry and offer for
sale at very reasonable prices several
good high quality purebred dairy
bulls of the Guernsey, Jersey and Hol-
stein breeds. In addition to selling
bulls, there will be offered at the train
an educational program stressing bet
ter breeding, culling of improbable
animals, and the raising of more
legumes.

MARYLAND'S BIRTH RATE
SHOWS MARKED DECREASE
Lowest Since 1916 When State
was Admitted to Registration

The birth rate for Maryland during
the first quarter of the year is the
lowest rate since the State was ad-
mitted to the United States birth reg
istration area in 1916, according to
the monthly report of the State
Health, Department, announced Mon
day. At the same time the death rate
for the State was the highest since
1920, with the exception of two years.
Despite the low birth rate of the
State and the high mortality figures
the infant mortality rate of SO per
1000 was the lowest ever recorded in
Maryland. ri
During the first three months OF
the year, 1913 births were recorded
as compared with 1857 for the same
period in 1929. The death rate for
the State was 14.2 per 1000, based on
an estimated population of $4,000
in Baltimore and 797, 200 in the coun-
ties.
The six leading causes of death in
the State during the first quarter
were diseases of the heart, pneumonia,
acute and chronic nephritis, cerebral
hemorrhage, tuberculosis and cancer.
