JANUARY BOTH
Presidents Birthday Date For
Big Drive To Get Funds For
Infantile Paralysis
L. GRIFFIN CALLAHAN
HEADS LOCAECOMMITTEE

Responding to the call by President
Roosevelt for concerted drive again.
st the ravages of infantile paralysis,
Col. Henry L. Doherty, Chairman of
the National Committee of the 1885
Birthday Ball for the President has
announced details Of the campaign
which is planned to bring proper medi-
cal and orthopedic treatment to thou
sands of victims of the disease in
every state, through countrywide
series of benefit parties honoring the
Presidents next birthday.
In outlining the purpose of the drive
Colonel Doherty made public the ros-
ter of the National Committee, which
includes the names of many of the
most prominent civic industrial and
philanthropic leaders in the country,
modified to rally the nation to pay
tribute to President Roosevelt on his
53rd birthday anniversary, January
3Oth, 1885, and dance for the cause
nearest his heart.
The National Committee swings in
to action behind the President, who
will bring the drive to climax on
the closing night, when it is antici-
pated he will make radio history by
addressing the largest public gather
ing of persons ever assembled before
the nations microphones.
With upwards if $500 balls PLAN
ned for communities in every state
in the nation where parties were held
last year and with hundreds of new
localities eager to join in the move
ment to fight infantile paralysis, Col
mel Doherty expressed confidence that
the results if the parties next month
would far out-distance the success of
the campaign last January when ST.
100000 was raised as an endowment
for Warm Springs.
In a statement urging the whole
hearted cooperation of every COM
munity in the country to make the
campaign a success, Colonel Doherty
said: "The President has given his
53rd birthday anniversary in reality
to every person in the country, young
and old, who has been afflicted with
infantile paralysis.
"This dread disease is a constant
threat hanging over every home in
the land. 1t strikes ruthlessly ire
spective of age and leaves each vic
tim suffering for years from it's af-
ter-effects. 1t must be eliminated
from our national life and I know that
every man, woman and child in the
United States will want to help in
this great humanitarian work.
"Since 70 cents out of every dollar
will remain in the community or geo.
graphical area wherein the money is
raised and 80 cents will go to the

garding Requirements That
Shall Be Met
INVESTIGATION INCLUDES
JOBS MADE SECURABLE

Now that applications are increas-
ing, due to winter weather and a let
up in employment, it is very desirable
that the public shall be informed re-
garding the requirements that must
be met by applicants before emer-
gency relief in any form can be Civ
en- by the Worcester County Welfare
Board.
There are no C. w. A. jobs, the
Civil Works Administration having
gone out of existence last March and
it's projects having been completed by
the Work Relief of the Worcester
County Welfare Board.
In order for a person to receive re-
lief, either direct or work relief, the
Federal Emergency Relief Administra-
ton requires that a thorough inves-
tigation shall be made of all the ap-
plicant's financial resources. This in
cludes all information concerning own

All cases are discussed in the Wei
fare Office before relief is given or

Sen. YEASEY
IS MADE PRO
tenn PRESIDENT
Selected AS Head OF Senate For
Purposes Of Installment
OF Officers
is ALSO SELECTED AS
PRESIDENT OF CAUCUS

Senator Lansdale G. Sasscer, Of
Prince George County, was named
by the Democratic caucus on Tuesday
evening, for the position of President
of the Maryland Senate. Delegate
Emanuel Gorfine, Baltimore was elect
ed for the speakership of the Lower
House. Hooper S. Miles, of Sails
bury is backed for the State Treas
urership, to succeed John M. Dennis.
The Republicans met at Carroll Hall
and named J. David Bale, of Carroll,
for the presidency of the Senate; and
John w. Garrett, former Ambassa-
dor to Italy, for State Treasurer.
At the meeting of the Senate on
Tuesday morning, Senator Veasey, of
Worcester, was elected president of
the Senate, pro tenn, and performed
the office of swearing in the officers.
In a short speech Senator Veasey
stressed the point that the present ses-
sion must be one of strict economy
even to the extent of curtailing GER
tain governmental offices. He oppos-
ed imposition of further taxes of all
kinds. Senator Veasey was also
made president of the Democratic eau
Gus. The caucus, this year, will prob
ably be a more active adjunct to the
Democratic procedure than formerly,
owing to the probable necessity of
frequent callings together for party
conferences.
Asaong the desk officers appointed
was Mr.. George E. Barnes of Worces-
ter, as Sergeant of Arms.
The Republicans are making stren-
uous efforts to capture control of the
Senate. The death of Senator Thur
man C. Atkinson, Fifth District of
Baltimore, gives the Democrats one
less in the Senate than is necessary
to exercise the right of veto. The
Republicans claim they have a chance
to secure four boiling Democrats who
viii vote to place man in the Sen
ate chair favorable to Nice. 1t is
probable that an election will be or
dered to choose successor to Mr.. At
kinson. The election will have to be
ordered by the presiding officer OF
the House of which the deceased was
a member. There is doubt, however,
that an election will be ordered. should
the Republicans prevail.
From the Republican meeting, held
at Carvel Hall, while the Democrats
were in session at the State House,
came word that the chief obstacle to
coup whereby the Republicans
might cut the Democratic control of
the Senate by forming a working
agreement with caucus boilers was the
failure of the five Democrats who
proposed to bolt the caucus to agree
on which one of them would be hon.
ored by election as president Of the
upper branch.

A TRICK shift designed to
L A make the left tackle eligible
for a pass, resulted in New York
University completing a 40-yard
touchdown pass against CARNEGIE

teams 25-6 victory. The team
lined up with an unbalanced line

left half, playing Wingback on the
strong side Before the ball was
snapped, Mandell shifted into the
line and Sharp, left end, dropped
back into the Wingback position
on the weak side, making Klein,
N. Y. U. left tackle, eligible for
pass. The ball was snapped to
Ed Smith, a 209-pound, 6 foot
full back. Smith faded back about
five yards while Klein faxed a
block on KaWchak, allowing the
decoys, Mandell and Sharp, to
draw away the secondary defense.
Klein then darted toward the goal
line and grabbed the long toss

The breach between them I'M
doubtedly was cemented on the day
following Allison's victory over
Perry last month when, in his syn
dicated analysis of the champion
ship play, Tilden belittled Allison S
victory and predicted victory for
Sidney Wood in the final.
Never a man to conceal his real
feelings, even when concealment
would work to his advantage. Tilden
disparaged Allison even while he
was trying to get him to join his
forces.
O'Brien made no effort to hide
his need of Allison.
PRO tennis" he said, requires a
new and strong personality each
year. If that personality happens to
be the national champion, 50 much
the better If Allison would join us
I'm certain that Johnny Van Ryn
would. and that would enable US to
send that pair out on tour with Lott
and Stoefen. I don't need to tell
you that the two greatest doubles
teams in the world would be a sweet
draw"
OBrien also would like to have
Bryan (Bitsy) Grant before the
grand tour of % cities begins in
Madison Square Garden on the
night Of Jan. II. Before the ma

little Albanian this proposition for

Four thousand dollars regardless
Of how he Jared in the nationals;
$4,000 if he reached the semi-fnals.
and $4,000 if he made the finals.
Grant reached the round Of four and
was ready to accept, but his father
