to this gummy coating and is easily
blown off by the whirling Of the

To show how such projects work
out, credit for this goes to the Bureau
of Air Commerce, the Goodrich Tire
& Rubber Co. and Transcontinental
Western Airlines flying laboratory u
which deliberately flew into severe
icing conditions to test what it had.
The pilots who did that test came
back with so much of the North Pole
on the front of their ship that they
had to break the glass in their cabin
windows to have visibility for land
ing-but the propeller blades were as
clean as the proverbial hounds teeth.
The Goodrich Co., in cooperation
with the airlines and the Air Corps,
also put rubber overshoes on the
wings-and that is no joke. A few

ELKS DEFEAT
 MOOSE g TO 3
 LAST EVENING
Boobies by Paps Account for Nearly All of Runs
 Put Across

Big Mac MacSpadden and hls Elks played some real Scotch baseball last night while Pete Rog CTS and the Moose were quite open handed with hits and errors, with the result that the Purples walked off with the contest nine to three. Seven nice fat boobies by the Paps accounted for all the big fat runs made by the B. P O. E. lads, for, while Rogers was nicked for eleven bingles, he passed out no earned runs.
 The Black Sox collected only four hits but punched them into two nice threats; the first of which came in the fifth. With one out, Stan Grummett and Clancy Con- verse loaded the two first stations with brace of singles, but nice double killing by Elliott, Adams and Jernberg stopped a score. A walk and steal, two one-basers and Converse stopping a pitch with his chest put across the trio of Moose tallies in the last frame but there the rally and the game ended.
 Elks' Scores
 Four singles, three pilfered bags and an error started off the Elks with four markers in the second round, to which they added three more in the fourth on three boots, a single and double A walk, base hit and a huff in the fifth gave another and the final Elk encounter was hung up in the sixth on a single, wild pitch and dropped fly.
 Don Bradley led the Purple at tack with two one-baggers and a double in four trips. Adams, Bardi and Robertson each broke fifty fifty with two clouts in four times at bat, one of Bardi's being good for two bases. Bill Bryan was champ juggler for the Moose with three bloomers.

Some OF the philosophical implica-

by physicians in the Hobbies after the

Great Unknown" Of Anatomy.
Up to the present, it was stressed,
the frontal lobe of the brain has
been the great unknown" Of human
anatomy and this operation seems
not only to relieve its symptoms, but
give some idea of its functions. In
reply to questions, DR.. Freeman ex-
plained clearly that the operation
actually removes none of the grey
matter of the cerebral corteX. Nothing
Is taken out of the brain, but cores
are cut out in the white matter, which
lies below the cortex and which sup
posedly is composed largely of nerve
pathways. Even this white matter is
not actually removed, but is left
in place after the cuts and gradually
Is absorbed.
Drs. Freeman and Watts were as
insistent as anybody on the need
for more exact knowledge of what
actually happens as the result Of their
operation.
DR.. Ackerly himself made medical
history nearly four years ago when he

NJ the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, November 2l.-The
Maryland Court Of Appeals ruled yes
terday that the Statewide alcohoh.
beverage act, passed by the 1888 spe-
cial session of the Legislature, pro-
hibits the sale Of whisky in Dorchester
County.
Judge Sloan, speaking for the court,
made the ruling in afflrming two de-
crees of the Dorchester County Court
under which two men were sentenced
to the house of correction for unlawful
sale of an alcoholic beverage.
Attorneys for both men contended
that since no provision for the regu-
lation and control of the sale of whisky
in Dorchester County has been pro-
vided by statute, then the sale OF
whisky in Dorchester County must
have been freed from any statutory
restriction and reverted to subsection
to the common law"
Judge Sloan, in his opinion, which
Is Statewide in its implication, ruled
"It was the legislative intent that
only such licenses should be issued
as we're authorized, and that no alco-
holic beverages should be sold any
where except such as were authorized,
and then only by persons who could
and did procure licenses"

COLLECTIONS LAG
G. O. P. Far Ahead in Gifts
s to Date-Expenditures
I Faster Than 1882.
Rr the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The intensity of the 1886 cam
paign was reflected today in figures
showing both parties began the year
spending about four times as fast as
In 1882.
Figures compiled from committee
reports for the two years showed also
that the Republicans are collecting
funds more rapidly than four years
ago, while the Democratic collections
are slower.
Here is the way the figures line up:
During the first two months of 1882.
the Democrats collected 100000 in
donations, while the Republicans got
$53,00O. During the first two months
Of this year the Democrats collected
$4,000 while the Republicans got
S251, 900.
Democrats Spend S322.00O
In 1892, the Democrats spent only
$4,000 during the first two months,
and the Republicans $4,000. This
year the Democrats have spent 1922
600 and the Republicans $165, 900.
Faced with this story of increased
spending and reduced income, the
Democrats have turned to dinners and
other fetes as a means Of raising funds
in addition to outright donations.
They realized $500, 900 from the Ma
tion-wide series of Jackson day din
ners in January, and are now plan
ciVu RalAhFQ
ton on Jefferson's birthday ami
VerSary.
The National Committee has an
nounced that meetings and dances
will be held throughout the country
to hear the speech by President Roose-
welt in Baltimore on that date.
In 1892, many of the Democratic
gifts were for large sums. and some
also came from persons who now are
opposed to the administration. Dur
ing the first two months, Pierre S.
du Pont contributed s12,500 and John
w. Davis, $500.
Hearst Contributed $4,000.
Later on, the Democrats had con-
tributions of $25,00o from William
Randolph Hearst, now bitterly op-
posed to the administration; $25 900
from John ]. Raskob, and $2,500 from
Bainbridge Colby.
Other developments in the political
picture included prediction by Gov.
James M. Curley of Massachusetts,
that President Roosevelt will be re-
elected no matter who the Repub-
lican nominee is. Curley said that
II Gov. ALI NJ. Landon Of Kansas Is
nominated "he will be defeated by
as big a majority piled up over Hoover
m 1882"
The supporters of Landon went
ahead with their drive to nominate
him at Cleveland in June. Six candi-
dates for the Landon- pledged slate in
California fled afidavits to qualify
for the May primary. The Landon
