berry to his staff of arbiters.
The idea of Fred as an UNI
pire intrigues.
It will be interesting to OBJ
serve the transition in tempera'
ment which must come over
the tall Texan if he is to retain
the assignment which he sought
and which was granted him.
after Detroit let him out as a
pitcher some 10 days or two
weeks ago.
Hated To Be Relieved
AS a pitcher, Marberry was
impetuous to the point OF peeV"
ishness, at times. No twirler
ever displayed more childish
ness on occasions when he
would be yanked from the box
for ineffectivenesS.
Fred will have to take hold
of his impulses, now that he is
wearing the blue of the umplr1ng
trade. He must show more SELF
control than he did as y pitcher.
and all of washington hopes he
will master his sensitive DISPOSE
ton, in his new calling.
Such traits : those Of which
we speak are not unforgivable
in a player, but an umpire must
have decorum, a level head and
be imperS9nal in his actions.
Fred often seemed to take his
thumbing from a game person
ally, instead as an incident that
happens to the best pitchers.
speaking of Marberry's retire
ment as a player, Mickey Coch-
rane says Marberry is through.
Has lost his zip. Can't burn
'em across the plate any longer.
Cochrane Knows
Many a manager pronounces
q pitcher as washed up when
it is merely his opinion. But
Mickey Cochrane, beside being
manager of the Tigers from
whence Marberry was released,
is also q rather regular catcher
for the Tigers, and ought to
know whether the tall Texan
still has anything left.
The fact that seven Ameri'
can League clubs waived on
Marberry, doesn't make Coch-
rane's judgment look any the
worse.
Marberry came up to Wash
ington a dozen years ago with
such steam in his arm as has
seldom been equalled in the
annals of major league base
ball. He starred for Washing
ton as a relief hurler and as a
mop-up pitcher only one man
can be mentioned in the same
breath with him-Big Ed
Walsh, of the old White Sox.
Most Cocky Lad
WaShingtonians of the cur
rent generation will always re-
member Marberry as the most
vehement, and at the same
time, cocky, confident pitcher
ever to wear local flannels.
How he hated to be taken
from the box on such after
moons as his blistering, soaring

Mae West Finds Bed Is Best
Place to Write Wisecracks

HOLLYWOOD, June 29.-Vl-'
Sions of a Honolulu vacation
abruptly faded for Mae West to-
day as the blonde star received
an urgent request from the studio
to get her new picture ready to
start in four weeks.
There being no choice, Mae goes
into immediate SecluSion in her
Hollywood apartment to whip to-
gether the screen play and the
dialogue for "Klondyke Lou" As
usual, she'll do her writing in
bed, where plot ideas and repartee
come faster for Hollywood's queen
of curves.
Contrary to her custom. how
ever, the star will not leave the
story entirely to her own inven-
ton. She plans to utilize two
scripts Paramount has bought.
the final version, OF course, to
be hers.
"Klondyke Lou" will be the
sixth picture in Macs meteoric
Hollywood career.
She is already under contract
to do two more in 1885 at a salary
that would turn most other Gin
ema beauties green with envy.

Skies Filled With Dust Last
Week from Midwest States (

Residents of Oakland and vicinity
who may have wondered what caused
the haze in the sky on last Tuesday
and Wednesday, and what caused the
windshields of their automobiles to
become muddy on Wednesday even
ing when it sprinkled, have now dis
covered the reason.
The haze was caused by dust clouds,
blown 1900 miles from the middle
west where terrific wind storms had
been shifting soil for weeks. The dust
then mixed with the rainfall on that
evening to form a sort of mud which
deposited itself on all objects through
out this section.
In Salisbury, Md, motorists who
left their cars out overnight almost
failed to recognize their vehicles the
next morning as they were covered
with a greyish-brown coating of mud.
The grimy film also covered Balti-
more and other cities along the Ches-
apeake. Residents of the state have
discovered that the old toast "Here's
mud in your eye," has taken on new
significance.

Forest Wardens Confer On Fire
Control In Western Maryland

Plans for prevention of forest fires
and methods of checking them during
the ensuing months, were outlined at a
conference of district forest wardens
Monday at Cumberland. Wardens from
Garrett, Allegany, Washington and
Frederick counties attended the meet
ing.
Walter J. Quick, Jr., assistant state
forester, commented that 62 per cent
of the area of Allegany and Garrett
counties is forest land, and that the
general public should cooperate in pre-
serving this natural resource in pre-
ventig fires. He spoke briefly of the
success in using short wave radio in
reporting fires.
The work of the CCC in fighting for
est fires was cited as one reason for
the decrease in damage caused by
fires last year. District Forester H.
C. Buckingham aided Quick in conduct
ing the conference which was attended
by Cecil Ramsey, district warden for
Garrett county; A. L. Sines, resident
warden at Swallow Falls State for
est; Carl Lohr, resident warden at
Potomac State forest; Matthew Mar
tin, Savage River forest, from this
county, and others.

Fiftieth Anniversary of Presby
terrain Church To Be Observed

The fiftieth anniversary of the Gar
rett Memorial church will be cele-
brated by a special service Sunday
afternoon at two-thirty o'clock. The
church was built more than fifty
years ago, by John w. Garrett, but on
March II, 1885, a deed of trust was
executed by his heirs putting the
property in the hands of a special
committee. A resume of the complete
history of the church, so far as the
facts are known will be given in an
address by the Rev. Waller B. Brock
Mrs. Frederick Thayer, Jr., will sing
a solo, Chow Lovely are Thy Dwell
ings", by Liddle, which she sang on
a previous occasion when the organ
was dedicated. Mrs. Neil G. Fraley
will accompany her and preside at the
organ. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank E. Hob
den will contribute to the musical pro-
gram. The pastors of the other
churches in Oakland will bring brief
messages. Mr.. Robert Garrett of
Baltimore, a grandson of John w.
Garrett, has written the pastor ex-
pressing his continued interest in the
church. The public is cordially invited
to attend the service.

HARRY c. BROOKS FOUND
DEAD NEAR EVANSVILLE
Body was Lying In Field on Scott
Layman Farm Skirting Nation
al Highway Monday Evening
IDENTIFIED AT FROsTBURG

The body of a man found in a field
ten miles east of Grantsville on Mon
day afternoon, was identified as that
of Harry C. Brooks, 81, of Martins
burg, W. Va, father of Mrs. German
Thayer, of Deep Creek Lake.
Garrett county authorities, investi-
eating his death, stated that an in
quest was unnecessary and that they
were satisfied the elderly man died of
natural causes since members of his
family said he had been subject to
frequent heart attacks.
Brooks body was found on the
Scott Layman farm on the National
Highway, by Norman Mckenzie, a
resident of that section, and the
theory was first advanced that the
man may have been murdered. No
marks of violence appeared on his
body, however, and it is the belief
that he may have died from convul-
sions. Authorities stated that Brooks
evidently died in agony.
The body was identified by W. Earl
Brooks, Cumberland, son. The dead
man made his home in Cumberland
until recently when he obtained work
in Martinsburg. According to the son
his father had been home last week
for a visit and on Saturday started
for Deep Creek Lake to visit his
daughter. The fact that he had not
arrived there was not known and his
whereabouts since he left Cumberland
Saturday are unknown. The man had
been dead at least twenty-four hours
when found.
The body was taken to the home of
Mrs. Thayer where funeral services
will be conducted Friday with the
Rev. ], H. Snyder officiating. Inter
ment will be at Thayerville.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs
Ruth Brooks, Cumberland; and the
following children: William Earl
Brooks, Clifford Brooks, and Glenn
