CWA NAMES TWO NURSES
TO HELP IN HEALTH WORK
Sanitation Program Is Progress
sing; Seventeen Employed

Mrs. Esther DeVall and Miss Ruth
Walker, both of Kitzmiller, have been
appointed Child Hygiene nurses to
work in the County Health Depart
ment, but paid from CWA funds. 1t
is expected that they will be assigned
to two separate districts in the coun-
ty where they will do all that is pos
sible to aid physicians and parents in
improving the physical condition of
children in those districts.
The sanitation program under the
CWA is now employing the county's
full quota of seventeen men.
In the report sent to President
Roosevelt on January Is, C. M. Sincell
reported IS sanitary outhouses had
been completed. Groups of men are
at work in Crellin and Shallmar i'm
proving the sanitation of those two
towns with materials supplied by the
mining companies. There are also
on file in the health office orders for
rs sanitary outbuildings to be built on
private properties where the owners
furnish the materials and orders for
more such outbuildings are being re-
ceived frequently.
Selection of these nurses and work
ers was made from the registrants at
the office of the NRB in Oakland.

TWO MORE POSSIBILITIES
LOOM ON c. 0. P. HORIZON
Annapolis Mayor Announces
Candidacy at Meeting; Friends
Urge GOldsbOrOugh to Run
SENATOR SAYS NOTHING

In additiu Wy Nice enter
ing the race Tor " ship of
Maryland on the Republican ticket,
two more possibilities have made their
appearance, one actually announcing
that he would be a candidate, Mayor
Walter E. Quenstedt, of Annapolis.
The second one is U. S. Senator
Philips Lee Goldsborough, and former
Governor of Maryland, although he
has expressed no views one way or
the other. He is being urged by many
friends, however, to enter the race.
One of the principal reasons for
urging the Senator to run is the fear
that too many candidates for the
nomination who now loom on the poll
teal horizon, will split the party to
such an extent it will not heal by the
time the election is held in November.
1t is thought the former governor
would have support from number of
Republican counties, augmented by
hundreds of Democrats in each coun-
ty who are opposing Governor Richie
for another term.
Quenstedt Announces
Mayor Quenstedt jumped into the
race for the G.. o. P. nomination FOR
Governor with the assertion that the
idea that any Republican can win this
fall is all wrong.
He said he would announce his plat
form of policies and principles and
file his candidacy in the near future.
In his speech at La Plata before the
Young Republican league, Quenstedt
asserted three times that he had
"driven Richie" out of his "back
yard" and was confident he could
drive him out of his front yard"
In this he referred to his three elec-
tons as Mayor of Annapolis.
He said Republicans in the State
were in favor of a standardbearer
who possesses youth, administrative
experience, freedom from fractional
policies and unblemished personal and
official record.

TO GIVE EMPLOYMENT TO
MORE MEN UNDER C. W. A.
Hours of Those Already Work.
ing Will be Cut However From
80 to 20 Per Week
WEEKS PAYROLL $4,000

Approximately 300 more men will
be given work by the Civil Works
Administration, beginning Monday,
due to a Federal order requiring a
reduction in the number of hours of
work of each one now employed, from
30 hours to 20 per week.
The names of the men who are to
go to work will be taken from the
files of the unemployment office.
This will reduce the weekly income
of those previously employed by the
C. w. A., from $3.50 to $500. It
will also take approximately 300
from the direct relief, or cut that
number in half.
This week, according to Miss Ethel
Miller, relief executive, there are GIL
on direct relief, including families
and single men. When the additional
men go to work on Monday on C. W.
A. projects, the only ones left on d.
rect relief will be those who are I'M
able to work and those who are work
ing only one or two days per week
in the mines but who are not making
enough to support their families. The
weekly expense of the direct relief is
approximately $4,000, the month Of
December costing $7,620.28. This
amount goes out in actual cash and
store orders.
The payroll this week of the C. W.
A., will be the largest since projects
began. 1t will amount to more than
$4,000. According to Federal orders,
all projects will end February 5, un-
less Congress appropriates more bill
lions to carry on the work.
In The Baltimore Sun this morning
it was stated C. w. A. work in Mary
land would continue until May Is.
Protests have come in from rural
sections of the state against the mi.
mum wage for work under the Cir!
Works Administration, according y
Harry Greenstein, Baltimore, state
administrator
Employers in certain sections of the
Eastern Shore have charged that the
minimum wage of As cents an hour
is twice that of the prevailing rate
for ordinary labor

Presidents Silver Plans
Are More Than Likely
to Be Approved
BY LYLE c. WILSON
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, Mar 20-CUP)-
The administrator struggled today
to sidetrack the silver issue at this
session of congress.
Opposition by President Roose-
welt was successful in persuading
Speaker Henry r. Rainey to hold
up a house vote on the Fiesinger
silver reconciliation bill. But the
administration attitude did not
prevent the distinctly silver-mind-
ed house from raflying to pass the
Dies silver measure by more than
O two-thirds vote.
This bill which now goes to the
senate authorizes acceptance of
foreign silver at 10 to rs per
cent premium in exchange for
American farm SURPRISES. Silver
thus accepted would be used as
backing for additional currency.
In contrast to the house action,
Mr. Roosevelt's silver plans appear
unchanged since his monetary mes
sage to congress in January. He
recalled then that he had issued
Dec 81, proclamation for coinage
of newly mined silver and an in
crease in treasury reserves Of sill
yer bullion.
This proclamation conformed
with the London conference silver
agreement signed by &c nations in
Guiding all principal silver pro-
ducing and silver using countries.
Mr. Roosevelt is convinced the
London conference agreement, if
made effective by necessary rati-
fications will lead to "a marked
increase in the use and value of
silver" He considers the London
agreement step toward interna-
tional monetary agreement which
is his ultimate objective.
The London agreement, If and
when ratified, will pledge all ma
tions for four years to refrain
from melting or debasing silver
coins, provide for replacement Of
samll value paper currency with
silver, and forbid further legisla-
ton depeciating the world value
of silver.
All silver producers except Peru
have ratified or taken steps to
that end. Canada and Mexico have
begun but have not completed
ratification. Pending developments
under this agreement the admin
istration hopes to stalemate the
silver issue.
Senator Burton X. Wheeler, d.
Mont, bitterly complains that Pro-
fessor James Harvey Rogers, ad.
ministration monetary adviser. is
being sent to China largely to
postpone the silver showdown.
Rogers will leave this week to
study the effect of silver prices on
Chinese American trade. Rogers
probably will be back by the
Fourth of July. Perhaps Wheeler
| is right.
