HE'S RUNAWAY

ROCKVILLE, Md, Dec. IA
blue-eyed and alert 14-year-old boy
stood before local juvenile officials
and informed them with unaf-
fected nonchalence that he twas
goin' South"
The youngster, Earl Davis, told
Rockville authorities his home
was in Yonkers, N. Y. Orphaned
for the past few years, he sadly
related how he tired of his home
with foster parents and set out to
see the world. The young trav-
eler visited New York city and
then made his way westward to
York, Pa.
In York he got his big chance
to go South by climbing into an
auto on a long auto trailer when
the driver of the trailer wasn't
looking. The driver stopped in
Rockville for breakfast today and
discovered Earl perched inside one
of the cars.
Rockville authorities were com
municating with Yonkers to locate
the boys guardians.

Mrs. Crop Big Boss
Of I'D. G.. Schools

In Spain, where the buildings
are dark and cool, so built to with
stand the hot, white glare Of the
sun, the sudden change from dark
to light causes one to sneeze. AL
Spanish people and visitors do 1t,
It's inevitable. Mrs. Crop, to the
amusement of herself and her
friends, still does.
In 1930-after six years at Nc.
Kinley, Mrs. Crop was appointed
chief Of the Board Of Examiners.
When the Board of Education
holds it's bi-monthly meetings she
sits unobtrusively with the as
sistant superintendent. She never
speaks in public-yet her knowl-
edge Of schools and school bust
ness is amazing.
She knows practically every
teacher by name-iS familiar with
the principals, their ideas, ambi'
tions, their weaknesses and their
strength. Though she seldom talks
to the press, her news sense is
amazing. She loves to meet people
and her years in Spain have de-
veloped an early, gracious manner
which not only charms but makes
her one Of the most popular Of
ficials in the District public school
system

KILLING TRIAL

ROCKVILLE, Md, Dec. IA.
Donald Parker. 26-year-old colored
man described by police as the
lone survivor of the BLACK Dill
linger gang" which terTorizeo
southern Maryland three years
ago, will face trial in Montgomery
county circuit court tomorrow fol
the murder Of Horace D. Waters,
aged Germantown, Md, merchant
five years ago.
Parker, now serving a life sen
tence in the Maryland penitentiary
for the murder of John Geary, jr.,
during holdup in Prince Georges
county two years ago, will be
brought to Rockville by penitenti-
airy guards tomorrow morning.
Like the Prince Georges murder,
Waters was also slain during an
attempted holdup. Nearly 10 ana
hard of hearing, it is believed
that Waters failed to hear the
command of two colored men who
entered his store and commanded
stick 'em up" and, when he did
not obey, he was shot.
Two companions of Parker in
the Prince Georges murder, James
Gross and Gordon Dent, were
executed almost two years ago
but Parker'S sentence was com
muted to life imprisonment by
Governor Harry w. Nice.
Information leading to Parker
arrest was obtained from a fellow
inmate at the penitentiary, where
Parker is alleged to have boosted
II am safe now. Both Dent
and Gross are dead and they are
the only one that know any
thing of the Waters murder"

The Christmas shopping parade
is on, with 0 banner year in

With another busy day today,
and perhaps a real record anniar

day, Washington is having the
best holiday business in years.
Department store sales showed
a jump of 46.8 per cent last week
over the preceding week; bank
clearances rose 1873 per cent over
the same week last year, ard
building permits skyrocketed from
S272, TOO for the week last year to
$3.50, 900 this year.
With only nine more days in
the shopping season, Santa just
around the corner and happy
smiles on all faces, prosperity
seems to have come for an ex-
tended visit.
The entire country reports a
sharp upward trend in business.
