LOOK FOR THE MARYLAND
LABEL

Housekeepers who are replenish-
ing their supplies of furniture, pill
lows, and bedding for the summer,
are advised by DR.. r. H. Riley Di-
rector of the State Department of
Health to look for the Maryland
label, showing that the articles meet
the requirements Of the State Bed
ding Law, before they make their
purchases.
"Our State Bedding Law" DR..
Riley said, closely parallels the
Food and Drug Laws i'll requiring
the accurate labelling of articles put
up for sale. The bedding labels
must show whether or not the ma
terial used in filling mattresses, pill
lows, comforts, quilted pads, other
articles of bedding and upholstered
furniture displayed for sale, is new
or second hand. The labels must
also state the kind of filling used.
If any second hand material is used,
it must be sterilized and Gisinfected
before it is offered for sale and the
finished article must be duly tagged
to show that this has been done.
Constant vigilance and frequent
inspections of stock offered for sale
are required to protect prospective
purchasers from buying mislabeled
or unsterilized products. Pillows,
ture, falsely labeled as to contents,
and containing second hand material
that had not been sterilized, were
discovered in a recent inspection of
articles offered for sale. The manu-
facturer was charged with the Of
Tense and was given a hearing before
the local magistrate. He was found
guilty and fined $50 and costs on five
charges. The case was prosecuted
which is entrusted with The admins
tration of the Bedding Law, by ].
Davis Donovan, Chief of the Division
of Legal Administration and his as
sistants, Frank j. Anderton and
Henry F. Sullivan.
Frequent inspections of manufac-
turing plants, warehouses, jobbing
concerns, auction rooms, second
hand stores and retail establishments
are made in carrying out the pro-
visions of the State Bedding Law.
Articles that meet the sanitary re-
Quirements are tagged with a special
label and can easily be recognized.
Stamps attached to the labels show
that the articles have been inspected
and conform to the regulations.
These stamps are supplied by the
State Department of Health.

FLOOD NEARING
BLADENSBURG

The Bladensburg Rescue Squad
stood ready for emergencies today
as waters of the Eastern Branch
of the Anacostia River threatened
to flood the Washington-Balti'
more Boulevard at Bladensburg.
Fed by the weekend downpour,
the river had risen to within three
feet of the bridge level at noon
and had flooded the low-lying
area between Hyattsville and
Bladensburg and between Colmar
Manor and Bladensburg. The
area from Colmar Manor to the
spur freight line of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad also was COW
cred.
At the same time, the Paint
Branch of Anacostia River had
overlooked its banks and was
spreading over the fields in the
vicinity of the University OF Mary
land experimental station.
Official observers said the tidal
peak for both branches of the
river will be reached at 2 p. IN.
today. If heavy rains or cloud
burst develop, officials believe the
boulevard will be inundated.

Battered debris marked the

At least nine persons were
killed at Gloster. The bowling
tornado made a shambles of the
water and light plants, de-
molished more than $50 homes.
Through the night men worked
frantically to free victims trapped
under the debris Of their homes.
Directed by the pitifm cries OF
the injured, workers toiled with
axes in the eerie lamplight, and
carried victims to emergency first
aid stations set up in box cars.
Freight Cars Derailed
Authorities are fearful search
OF the debris will increase the
death toll.
So great was the force of the
tornado the huge steel supports

directly concern policing. He
stated:

marked similarity to a
system in showing horses. There
is one class in which cOnfOrma-
ton is judged as so per cent
and performance as so per
cent in rating horses.
However there are some
horses whose form is not so
good, but whose performance Is
remarkable and for this type
there is a special class who al
lows a rating of IS per cent on
performance"
Commissioner HaZen said that
all that is needed to change the
system of rating is the consent
of the Civil Service Commission
and that he will confer with Com

the change.

ROW HOLDS UP
PENSION BILL
International News Service

International News Service
Democratic leaders of the House
today tentatively decided to ask
the aid of President Roosevelt in
breaking a deadlock over methods
of handling the big economic Sc
curity bill.
With one group demanding a
sgag" rule to prevent the House
from sharply liberalizing old-age
pension grants to States and
another demanding a free-for-all
fight, it appeared that only Mr..
Roosevelt could settle The issue.
Delegation to Call
A House delegation is expected
to call upon Mr.. Roosevelt imme-
diately after he settles down to
work upon return from his fishing
excursion.
Meantime, the House Rules
Committee postponed a scheduled
meeting today for consideration
OF a gag" rule.
Opposed by Two BlOcs
While one House bloc planned
a fight to liberalize the measure,
another group sought to strip it
Of some of its most important
provisions on the ground that it
would load down business with
an unbearable burden.
Estimates of the cost of the
program, formally made by the
Ways and Means Committee,
added fuel to the controversy.
The compulsory contributory
old-age pension and unemploy-
ment insurance payroll taxes, it
was estimated, bring into the
Treasury $500, 100000 in 1887,
$1,286, 100000 in 1888, and by
1850 the cost would soar to
00,O0O,00O.
Gag Considered
With Speaker Byrns and Chair
man O'Connor CD of New York,
of the Rules Committee against a

may have to settle the issue.

"Huey Long has as much
chance becoming President on
a third party ticket as a snow
ball in hell"
And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is the morning-after thought OF
Ole Gassaway, officially known
as Representative P. L. Gassaway
Cd, Representative from the
Fourth district of Oklahoma.
Representative Gassaway tore
into the Louisiana Kingfish last
night in a radio address punctu-
ated with homespun humor and
frequent references to an asSer-
ton that Senator Long was born
in the dark of the moon and "Ol
GasSaway" was born in the light
of the moon on the same date.
In his radio speech, however,
he refrained from making any
statement concerning Senator
Longs intimations that he would
be a Presidential candidate. To-
day it appears he has decided
