though Rockville proved the winner in
the first game of a doubleheader at
Welsh Field, Gaithersburg fought
until the last few minutes. There ap-
peared a little difference in the
strength of the respective teams. Per-
haps the only noticeable margin was
the readiness of the Rockville twirl-
er, Everett Russell, a product of the
Washington high schools. Ruble also
pitched well until the ninth when he
became as wild as a March hare and
walked in the winning run.

WASHINGTON, Nov. II.
Assurance that every con-
sideration would be given to
the Overseas and Highway
Bridge projects from Key

Governor Dave Sholtz, of
Florida, by Secretary of the

Although the governor
had left Washington early
today, it was learned from
his secretary at the May
flower hotel here that a
very satisfactory" visit had
been made on behalf of the
bridge project.
1t was added that the gov
'ernor and the secretary of
the interior are personal
friends and that early action
on the Florida project would
be taken.
Secretary Ickes said he
wants to aid Florida, but that
the state had expanded so
much during the "boom

invest the public works funds
there, while the states fl
nancial condition has pre-
sented a problem not yet

SAVANNAH, Ca, November
17.-Men and nature are work
ing hand in hand to dress up Dixie
and hang the latch string outside
for President Roosevelt when he
comes south for a brief vacation
in few days.
Men, with generous help of their
womenfolk, are looking after the
hospitality, and nature, in it's own
way, has charge of the decorations.
The trees are just beginning to
show faint touches of color, but
when the President reaches here
the landscape will present riot
of yellow, red and evergreens-
pines and magnolias.
One Day On The Coast
The presidential schedule pro-
vides for only one day in the
Georgia coastal country before he
proceeds inland for a two weeks
soiourn at his vacation cottage
near Warm Springs. And that
day would be given to a public adj
dress in Savannah and participa-
ton in the city's celebration of the
Georgia bi-centennial.
Hall Dedicated To Him
The acme of public participation
in his visit will be reached at the
dedication of Georgia Hall, central
administrative building of the
Warm Springs Foundation, in his
honor. Built at a cost of about
100000. the hall will have been
completed, or nearly so, by the
time he arrives.
Popular interest is conferred par
ticularly on this forthcoming ccre-
mony, for citizens of Georgia have
contributed to the building design
ed as a monument TO the P~esi-
dents work in founding the Warm
Springs Foundation for the treat
ment of those suffering the af-
ter-effects of infantile paralysis.
Like A Big Family
In keeping with a custom of long
standing, Mr.. Roosevelt will pre-
side over the Thanksgiving dinner
for the foundations patients. It's
just one big family when he and
they and the employees Of the foun-
dation sit down together to feast
in the traditional Thanksgiving
manner.
No doubt the president win
spend most OF the visit in his sim
pie little cottage high up on the
side of Pine Mountain. But the
local eitixenry il hoping time will
be allowed for an open-air bar
heeue aud perhaps nocturnal
'possum hunt such as those Mr..
Roosevelt has enjoyed in nearby
woods on more than one occasion.
