The adult education work in Mont
gomery county has materially pro-
crossed during the past few weeks.
Six new teachers have recently been
added to the teaching staff to fill new
nositions and continue the work COM
menoed by other teachers who have
been successful in securing more per-
manent work. With the addition OF
new classes during this week, the
nresent enrolment is expected to be
increased well above the $50 mark
According to DR.. Edwin W. Broome
Superintendent of Schools, there has
been a rather general mistaken idea
that these classes are a part OF the
C. w. A. work here in the county
This work is administered through
the United States Office of Education
and the State Board of Education by
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration.
A new subject of much value and
need has been added course In

parent it is well to be posted on the
numerous problems arising over the
child's health, play, and home-school
relationships, DR.. Broome points out
With the exception Of the CONNER

enter one or more of these classes. In

Rockville Faces Ais
Tonight In Tournament
Finals Of A. A. u. Race

Although the basketball season ia
just about over the Rockville girls
are still on the map as far as the
District A. A. U. Tournament is con-
cerned. The local girls have played
exceptionally good basketball this
season losing only three games out of
twenty-one. The Rockville girls have
won their two preliminary games In
the tournament and will meet the
AIS A. C. in the finals tonight.
In the first game they defeated
the Red Flashes by score of 31-19.
The second game was little more
interesting with the Rockville girls
Is and the Bethesda girls % when
the whistle blew.
The Rockville boys won their first
game in the tournament, but were.
defeated by Trinity in the second
round.
The girls final game with the AIS
A. c. will be played at the MacFar-
land Gym Thursday night at 900.

Although the Rockville Chamber OF
Commerce, with a small attendance
of members present, voted for sub
stitute resolution providing for the
abandonment of the street car lines
the demands made upon the proposed
bus service will probably preclude any
authoritative action on the matter in
the near future.
A heated discussion between sew
eral members of the Chamber affect
ed the vote but little-only one mem
Der actually casting ballot against
the resolution. Strong points were
brought out by George H. Lamar,
spokesman for maintaining the street
cars and by several members of the
Chamber who prefer buses.
1t is believed, however, that if all
of the demands made upon the COM
pany as embodied in the resolution
were granted, there would be but lit
tie to say on the part of those who
want the street cars retained. In
deed, the main objection to the bus
lines appears to be that adequate"
service cannot or will not be substitu-
ed for the present set-up.
The schedule of votes received by
the Chamber of Commerce shows that
about 70 per cent of the replies fav-
ored the abandonment of the street
cars. Of the 1873 ballots returned,
from which an analysis was made,
I107 were against street cars. Eighty
nine of these were property owners.
Fifty nine used the buses and AZ used
both street cars and buses. Twenty
eight business firms in Rockville re-
piled. Twenty-three want to do away
with the street car lines.
The Sentinel has received about as
ballots on the matter. Thirty favored
the abandonment of the street car
lines and the remaining fifteen favor
ed the retention.

New Welfare Unit
Believed Ready To
Function April |
Social Service And Welfare
Board To Split Duties Under
Federal Plan

1t is generally believed that the
new welfare relief system will get
under way in Montgomery County by
April 1. The staffs of the Social
Service League and the Public We'll
fare Board will be reorganized and
the latter body will employ 10 work
ers to be known as county reliet
aids.
Examination for the 10 positions
to be created by the board were taken
by nearly 100 residents of the coun-
ty at the Rockville High School Sat-
urday under the supervision of ex-
aminers from the Civil Service Blu
sreau of the State Employment De-
.partment.
The Public Welfare Board, of
which Miss Lavinia Engle of Forest

full-time executive at present, but
must select one under the new pro-
gram, while the Social Service
League must appoint an executive
secretary to fill the vacancy caused
by the recent resignation of Mrs.
Virginia Lee Bennett. Miss Ruth A.
Bolton, case supervisor, is serving as
acting executive secretary.
Under the new plan, the Public
Welfare Board will handle direct re-
lief for families, transient and en-
ployment relief, tasks formerly car
ried on by the Social Service League,
while the operations of the latter
organization will be limited to chill
dren's work, including direct relief
and the supervision and boarding of
children; Juvenile Court probation
work, family guidance and case work,
except direct relief for families and
al other professional case work.
The change in the welfare program
and the limiting of the leagues OPP
Grafton was necessitated by a Federal
Government ruling prohibiting indie
pendent agencies from expanding
Federal funds allocated for relief
activities.

Commissioners Set
May | AS Date For
Milk Regulations
Grades Will Be Required At
That Time On All Milk Sold
In Montgomery County

The Board of County Commission
ers, acting as the County Board of
Health, at the suggestion of the
County Health Officer, DR.. v. l..
Ellicott, have decided upon May 1,
1884 as the date on which milk
grades would be required on all milk
sold in Montgomery County.
At the present time grading of
the milk is optional in the County
but more than half of the dairymen
are selling Grade A milk and many
of these are marking the milk Grade
A. If some dairymen do not meet
all the requirements for Grade A
milk by May 1, these dairymen viii
have to label their milk Grade B
Grade C or Grade D according tc
the conditions under which the milk
is prepared.
The County Milk Regulations allow
the sale of only Grade A milk in the
Metropolitan area; therefore, in this
area lower grades can be sold only
for temporary degrading" periods
not exceeding thirty (30) days. In
the remainder of the county Grade
B milk can be sold up until January
1, 1885 but no dairyn1an has, up to
the present, signifed desire to sell
this grade of milk.

The visit of the grand jury was
in line of duty. But someone saw

sary and Immediately phoned pol

Chamber Of Commerce Votes To
Substitute Buses For Street Cars
Heated Discussion Between Several Members Results In
But One Dissenting Vote On Substitute Resolution
Ballots Show Marked Preference For Bus

While it was thought that good
cross-section of view of Rockville res
idents could thus be obtained on the
matter, some claim that the Chamber
of Commerce sighted many living on
the main streets of the town and
gave them no chance to vote.
Be it resolved by the Rockville
Chamber of Commerce that it is in
favor. of the abandonment by the
Capital Transit Company of the
street railway line between Rockville
and the District of Columbia and the
substitution in the place thereof Of
an adequate and up-to-date bus SER
vice between Gaithersburg, Rockville,
Bethesda and the District of Column
bia.
By adequate and up-to-date bus
service this Chamber has in mind the
following:
~ Buses to be large, comfortable
and modern. The Company should not
place its out-worn and obsolete equip
ment on this line.
(2) The schedule Of trips to be
established should equal the total
schedule of trips now existent on the
present bus line and car line together.
81 The frequency of trips should
be at least half-hourly with more
frequent service during the rush
hours of the morning and evening.
Service should extend from A. M.
to IL midnight with hourly service at
least from IL midnight until A. M,
Sunday and Holidays, both inclusive.
az Fares should be reasonable and
compare with those charged by trans
portation lines operating in commune
ties similar to Montgomery County.
(5) Monthly Communication tickets
at reduced rate, for both adults and
school children.

to the car lines and bus lines of the
D. c., and vice versa without extra
charge.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED
that the Capital Transit Company
upon the abandonment of the said car
line, shall be required to remove its
tracks from the town of Rockville
along the Rockville Washington boule-
ward and that it shall repave the
space formerly occupied by said
tracks in the Town of Rockville with
paving similar in quality and thick
ness to the paving now existent along
the side of it's tracks in said town.
A resolution offered by Morris
Stern, chairman of the Better Bust
ness Committee, asking that oppor-
tunity be given business men of the
county to bid on materials for C. w.
A. projects in the county was unani-
mously adopted. A Copy of the reso-
luton was ordered sent to Stephen
C. Cromwell, C. w. A. manager for
Montgomery.
The meeting was conducted by the
president, Walter F. Funderbunk.

You've got to tell the story of
how he hits and runs.
Yes, you've got to tell the story
of how he crossed up an enemy
team-crossed up the Tigers by
the Bill Werber bunt with priv
ilege." He was told to bunt, and
he went through the motions all
right. Owen came in, and Werber
switched his move without betray-
ing it. He slid his hand down
the bat and pushed the ball over
the head of the onrushing Owen.
Out into the outfield the ball
rolled, with Goose Goslin racing
frantically in as Owen tried vainly
to go into reverse and get the ball.
Werber made second base.
Smart Player
Werber has another bunting
trick that he perfected with the
Yankees. If a pitcher rusheS to
the third base line to protect his
zone against bunt, Werber can
roll the ball back through the box.
It is smart baseball, but Bill is a
smart ball player.
Werber was sold down the river
