BASEBALL TEAM WINS ALL
GAMES

The Junior Baseball Team of
Leslie Lawrence Post, under the
guidance of Harold D. Hillyard, is
gaining much recognition from the
other posts of the American Le-
gion and the public in general, by
its fine craftsmanship and good
ball playing. In contrast to last
years team, which did not win
game all season, the team this
year has won all its games. Ere
quently at its practices, high off
Gals in the American Legion are
regular visitors. So far as can be
learned, this is the only colored
junior baseball team of the Amer
lean Legion in the United States.

HERRING NECK, Newfoundland
January 4.-Santa Claus came late to

The spirit of Christmas was, for
the occasion, impersonated by mail

He brought in his packs checks for IS
Herring Neckers signifying that they
were sharers in the estate of their re-

CITY HEADS AWAIT
SANAT0R|UM FUND
Ask $500, 900 Advance by
p. w. A. on Adult Building
at Glenn Dale. -,

Preparations for starting OF con-
struction on additions to the Chill
dren's tuberculosis Sanatorium at
Glenn Dale, Md, were being made to-
day by the District Commissioners
while they awaited an answer from the
Public Works Administration for the
immediate advance Of Sl,500,000 for
erection of an adult tuberculosis hos
pital on the same site.
The Commissioners filed with Sec
retary of Interior Ickes yesterday a
request for an advance Of the full sum
of 81 1,500,000 for the adult building
under terms of the P. w. A. loan
agreement signed recently by both
District and Federal officials. Plans
for this structure now are being drawn.
Another step toward enlargement
of the Districts tuberculosis center on
the large tract in Prince Georges
County was taken when bids were
opened for construction Of wings to
the Children's Sanatorium, the main
wing of which was opened last Sep
tember.
February l Start Planned.
Construction of these wings will be
started by February l, if present plans
carry. The low bid was submitted by
the North Eastern Construction Co.
of Baltimore, which offered to do the
work for S377,300. The second low
bidder was the George Hyman Con-
struction Co. of this city.
This work will be financed out Of an
appropriation of $500 900 contained in
the 1885 District supply act, 100000
of which was for drafting of plans for
the adult building.
The additions will consist OF six
units in all, but the predominant work
will be building of two large wings
dropped from the original plans be-
cause of lack of sufficient initial ap-
preparation. These will provide beds
for 154 additional juvenile patients,
more than doubling present capacity.
In addition there will be 7 beds
for internes, 48 for domestic help and
10 additional beds for nurses. One
of the new units will be an addition
to the nurses home.
Roofs to Be Solariums.
The project will make more COM
plete the present facilities of the hos
pital. aside from the addition of 228
more beds in all. The roofs Of the
two main wings will be developed in
part as solariums where patients may
benefit from sun baths. A space 80
feet by 80 feet will be allowed for this
purpose on each wing. Also there will
be a large porch off each floor of
the two wings for similar purposes.
There will be developed, also. an
indoor recreation hall and auditorium,
to fill need that exists at the pres
ent incomplete plant.
Engineer Department iofficials hope
to have the contract documents ready
for action by the Commissioners at
their board meeting next Tuesday.
The adult hospital is to be COM
pleted by September |, 1886, under
the agreement reached by the Com
nnissioners and the P. W. A. Actual
construction of this building will be
started next August under present
, plans. Some preliminary work will
, be started much sooner, while archi-
!, tects are completing working draw
inss and specifications.

DOG DAYS

The period of greatest heat is ira
ditionally called dog days" begin
ming with the time when Sirius. the
dog star, is in conjunction with the
sun. Dogs are said to be most likely
to go mad during that period.
All animals need plenty of water
in dog days People who still drive
horses should not expect them to
toll over highway or farm without
frequent drinks. Patient Old Dob
bin will not go mad, but running him
without water on a hot day is like
operating your automobile without
oil.
The drinking fountains of former
days usually had places where the
dogs could drink. 1t is not the bust
ness of the gas stations to water the
dog, and the careless owner may
never think of it. Watch those
friendly creatures rolling their red
tongues way out, and think how you
would like it to have no place to
find water. But as for humans, they
will not suffer from lack of water.
until the city supply or the old well
runs dry.

MIDSUMMER RrSINESS

If you watch the big city stores
you will find they are doing plenty
of advertising about now. These
people who have built up these great
distributing centers have the sales
problem figured down very fine. They
know there is a splendid chance to
do business in midsummer. because
the people expect bargains at that
time and they wait for them. A store
that does not advertise them. disap-
points those who would naturally
trade there.
1t is just the same in any city
like Milford. Old stock always has
to be worked off, since the fall is
coming when people demand new
and different lines of goods. A mod
crate reduction well advertised now,
will save greater loss at some
later date.

MIDSUMMER IN THE GARDEN

Midsummer in the garden is a
race between the gardener and his
enemies. Which is ahead, the gar
dener, or the weeds and pests? AS
you look through many of the home
grounds, the gardener is seen to be
limping badly, and a good deal out
OF breath.
But the weeds and the pests are
going strong. The weeds can live
ON soil where your plants will die,
even after long and tender coaxing.
When you dispose of one crop of
those wicked bugs, the next morning
an equally powerful army are feast
ing on your plants, growing fat and
sportive on the soil enriched by your
fertilizer and faithful watering.
The sun is a lot hotter in mid
summer than in April. 1t seemed
so nice to spade up that garden plot
in those stimulating spring days.
But how does it go with the ther-
mometer in the nineties, and the
sweat running off your ruddy face?
The experienced gardener has an
answer to such objections. He gets
UP early in the morning, when the
air still has the tonic quality of
spring. Or he labors in the cool
of the evening, when the suns
fierce heat has abated. He hoes
down the weeds before they get to
a saucy and impudent height, where
he can't rip them out without en-
dangering his plants.
You have confidence in a man
who presents a clean and well cared
for garden. 1t shows he is faithful .
and industrious. When you see such
display of carefully tended vege-
tables and flowers. you believe that
the man who possesses them will
do well in any occupation he chooses.
He is adequate for anything he
dares try out. If boy wants a job.
let him show what he can do on a
garden. If he keeps it well, he has
given a recommendation better than
anything you can put on paper.

THE STAY Ar HOMES

This may be the vacation ant
travel season, but the majority ol
Americans are stay-at-homes from
necessity, and do not feel able to do
much travelling. Some of them feel
resentful, as they see the shiny auto
mobiles roll by. and the fast trains
wind through the landscape, and
think they are not having their fair
share of the fun of life.
But the worlds wisest men will
tell them that the best things of life
are found near home. Henry d.
ThOreau, world famous philosopher,
said: Beauty is neither here nor
there, not in Rome or Athens, but
wherever there is a soul to admire
it. If seek her elsewhere because
l do not find her at home, my search
will be fruitless."
The sky and the sunsets are as
beautiful in Delaware as they are
in Switzerland. The grass and the
trees are as green and the flowers
as bright, as in the romantic scenes
of France.
AS for the pleasures that make
life interesting, if people can't find
them in their home town, it is to
be doubted if they can find them
anywhere. If they want to play
games, there are vacant lots for
baseball, back yards big enough for
a tennis court. The game of bridge.
perhaps the most popular sport ever
invented, can be played by anybody !
who can afford a pack of cards.
People travel thousands of miles
to see things no more beautiful than
can be found within an automobile
ride of Milford, or on the Delmarva
peninsula.
II the young folks want to dance,
Il can be done anywhere where there
IS a radio or a phonograph. II you
wish quiet talk with good friends,
there is as much wisdom in your
home town as there is anywhere.
It's a fine thing to wander if you
IAN afford it, but all the best fruits
If life can be found within a few
niles of your own home.

HOW NEW BUSINESS COMES

Said a business promoter. speak
ing of how new industries start in
cities: Let us suppose that one of
your men is a live wire, deeply in
terested in the advance of your city.
He goes visiting some day. and as
usual tells what fine town yon
have. His words make an impress
sion on some fellow who wants to
branch out in his business. He can't
get much help where he now is, so
he decides to find out what your
town could do for him. He receives
encouragement, and decides to To-
cate in your place. That is very
much the way in which towns get
new business, which comes because
someone said a favorable word for
these communities"

DANGERS OF BEING CAREFUL

The customs of automobile driv-
ing have produced a strange state
OF things, in that it is sometimes
dangerous to try to be safe and care
full. If you take your car out in a
highly cautious spirit. and plug
along at a moderate pace, you may
think you are perfectly safe But
meanwhile a line of speeders will
probably collect behind you. They
will get so impatient, that some of
them are likely to tear ahead in
some unsuitable place. Perhaps in
50 doing they will fail to notice some
car coming around a curve. In the
melee that results, you may be
forced off the road, as the result of
your own carefulness, plus the wild
reckless act of some uncontrolled
driver.
1t is often safer to proceed at 40
miles an hour where other people
are doing the same thing, than to
slow down and run at a pace that
in former days would have been con-
sidered wise and prudent.
1t is strange and regrettable that
this is SO. 1t seems contrary to ma
ture to penalize people for being
careful. 1t would not be so, if there
were not so many people who are
filled with impatient haste.
The above is not intended to mean
that people who drive fast come out
better on an average than those who
drive slow. On the whole the driver
who takes a moderate pace will re-
duce his chance of accident.
But car that travels at rates of
speed that do not conform to the
general custom, takes chances too.
Years ago, it was thought that 90
to rs miles an hour was a good safe
speed on the highways. and some
states passed. laws establishing such
speed limits. But if a 20 mile an
hour man gets out now on a popu-
lar highway on Sunday afternoon, he
is likely to cause a lot of irritation,
as result of which he may get hit.

4y JAMES PRESTON

One of the strange sights of this
strange session Of Congress has
been the picture of Democrats carry
ing the bulk of the attack upon what
they conceive to be radical legisla-
tion offered by their own party lead
er, while the Republicans, as a unit,
have had little to say. On one day
when the Agricultural Act amend
ments were before the Senate, Tyd-
ings of Maryland, King of Utah, and
Byrd of Virginia Democrats ALL
ripped into the Administrations pol
icies. From them flowed no milk
and-water allegations, but strongly
wOrded denunciations or unconsti-
tUtionality and fOuting Of "the i'm
mlltable laws of supply and de-
mand."
==s=
Meanwhile, the Republicans in the
Senate have been something less
than militant, and many have been
content to vote quietly for New Deal
measures which they admitted in
private they should oppose. AS one
of the keenest of Washington writ
ers, Carlisle Bargeron in the Wash
ingtOn Post, put 1t, they seem to
live in mortal fear that the more
oppressive Republicans outside the
Senate will do something to embar-
rass them" There are a few excep-
tions to this, of course. But very
few.

old days, Congress was insistent that
each commission should be bi-parti-
san; that is, it should represent oppo-
site political beliefs
But Mr.. Roosevelt, by his appoint
ments, gets around the basic purpose
of the majority and minority view
point idea by finding persons hrevi-
ouSly affiliated with the opposite po-
litical party but sharing at the mo-
ment his economic and social philos-
ophy.
Thus, practically every Federal
commission today is dominated by
appointees of Mr.. Roosevelt who are
partisans of his own philosophy and
trends toward state socialism or the
centralization Of power in the Fed
eral Government. In this way, the
Congress, having abdicated It's powers
to the Executive, has, in effect. turned
over to a small group of men, directed
and controlled by the President him
self, vast and almost unlimited powers
of expenditure Of public funds and ad-
ministration over the affairs of in
dustry and agriculture from produc-
ton to distribution.
On this Constitution day, even the
New Dealers themselves might reflect
on the manner in which, some day,
these same powers may be utilized for
another purpose. perhaps not so bene-
ficent, when the wicked Republi-
cans" or a President Of dictatorial in

cal party happens to get into the
