Rockville Takes Rival
Over The Bumps In A
Thrilling DOuble-headel

Rockville won two games from
Gaithersburg Sunday. 1t was glor-
ious victory for the county-seaters
and (don't mention it abroad) very
unexpected one. Rockville called upon
Fraley, Blue Ridge League star of
the Frederick team, to oppose Everett
Russell, one of the best young ball
players around Washington. Fraley
kicked in with homer which aided
his cause materially. And other help
was not wanting.
The first game was something to
write home about. With the score 81
in favor of Gaithersburg, Fraley steps
to the plate with one man on and
sends the ball over the fence for a
homer. Gaithersburg tied up the score
in the eighth but were unable to do
a thing in the ninth inning. With
Rockville at bat Scotty Collins gets a
double, the next two men strike out
and then good old Patsy Coleman
comes through, Scotty scoring the
winning run 4-3.
The second game is uncomfortable
by the Gaithersburg fans. Rockville
staged a riot through out the entire
game. With Connie Roger on the
mound for the winners and Nichols
doing his best for Gaithersburg, Rock
vile put up a score of 100. Hits were
flying off the Rockville bats like hail
off a tin roof.
This Sunday the 22nd., Gathers
burg and Rockville play a double
header at Gaithersburg. First game
called at 100.

the father of several children, was
killed instantly as he trudged home
from work on the new Rockville High

He was struck by an automobile
driven, police said, by Diller G. Mat

heved suffering from internal in

Of the car in which Proctor was rid

MASSACHUSETTS
LABOR GIVES ITS
STAND ON HOUSING

BOSTON. Up How Labor
Stands on the housing problem was
cleared up by a recent conference OF
officers of the Massachusetts, State
Federation Of Labor and the State
Building Trades Council held to a draw
up a declaration OF policy for the
states labor movement.
The conference favored the elimi-
nation of sub-standard areas Of our
large cities by the demolition OF the
properties now within such areas and
building in their stead g. or 4-story
walkup apartment houses covering SO
per cent or 40 per cent Of the land in
volved."
Since municipalities "are now pay
ing out about 10 times nor money for
servicing those sub-standard sections
than they are receiving in return for
taxes, thereby creating an undue bur
den upon present properties held by
workers in better sections" the con
ference felt that "a movement of this
kind will greatly assist in relieving the
tax burden upon present property own
ers and would justify federal, state
and municipal participation in a nous
ing program"
Such a program would also assist
greatly the many thousands Of build
ing tradesmen unemployed for the past
five years." the declaration continued.
1t also favored as a relief measure the
building of subsistence homesteads in
the outlying districts of cities.

SONGS OF MARY

The lullabys crooned By the young
mother in the stiffness of the moments
when the divine child was lulled TO
sleep have had no listener who passed
them on to an eager world. What could
have been the burden Of the intimate
things of which the mother sang when
the restless world was shut away and
the two, closely entwlned, communed
together, with the knowledge of their
destiny lowering about them. Did she
sing Him tender baby songs that made
no reference to His divinity or did
she praise Him as her God and sing
her fidelity as she held Him close and
soothed His earthly WEAKNESS? Did she
beg Of Him to spare her the suffering
she knew awaited them or did she en-
courage Him In tender human fashion
to bear the terrible human agony fore
ordained for Him. The lullabies that
soothed the sacred child were never
heard by %profane ears.
In the life of Christ there must have
been much music. Descended from the
greatest singer Of all times, the psalm
list David. and His advent into the
world proclaimed by the singers from
His heavenly home, there was a human
and divine heritage of music woven
into the scheme Of His existence on
earth. In the childhood years Of the
Lord. what were His childish pleasures,
what we're His childish songs? Was
the soul of the young Saviour too sad
for singing or did He fashion Himself
songs from a heavenly source whisp-
cred by angels or did He sing the songs
OF His people heard on the lips Of His
companions? In the synagogue did lie
praise His Father after the manner Of
David and to the tune of the lutte and
was His sacred voice heard when lie
read from the scriptures. The songs
the Saviour sang have vanished.
Yet the music of that sacred time
is not lost, for It is born again in the
hearts Of the great composers. Bit by
bit the melody that was heard the first
Christmas night has come back to us
distilled from the pens Of the specially
chosen, and who IS there to say it is
not akin to the music of the celestial
choirs? The inexplicable urge Of mel
ody. the grandeur OF musical thought.
the loftiness of inspiration must sure
" be from the same source as was
the music that was heard but once on
earth.
It was not without intent that the
message of peace was sent out on the
swings Of song" for that is the power
of music-to bring peace. Nor was Il
BY chance that the melody came from
the heavens, for ever the inward eyes
Of the soul turn %heavenward under
the influence of great earthly music
The radiance Of the star shines in the
heart under the touch Of melody anC
the soul expands to a fuller compre
hension Of the promises for eternity
