MODEL TRAINS
HIS HOBBY
my son isn't the reason, but,
1t least, he's . good excuse"

my son isn't the reason, but,
1t least, he's . good excuse"
And that's how s. D. Ashford.
of 3433 Porter st. N. w., explains
the presence Of 125 feet of double
tracks and two sets of model
trains in the attic of his home.
The AShfords-S. D. and Rob-
ert, aged II and going on ~
operate one of the neatest model
train outfits in the city. Other
model train builders in this city
and from other cities throughout
the country come to them to ope-
rate their trains, for, as Mr.. Ash
ford explains:
'"There are thousands Of train
builders who have much better
and more beautiful model trains
than ours. But they don't have
any place to run them, and we
have all this track"
The 1875 feet Of double tracks
wind around the attic on a plat
form about three feet from the
floor. The most important feature
Of the AShfordS' set, and the one
of which they are the most proud,
is the double track "wye." In fact,
it's the only one in the country on
q model set.
The set has a third rail which
really works, and automatic track
control which stops the faster cleo.
trio Stream-lined train before it
crashes into the slower steam en-.
CINE.
Model train construction started
in the Ashford home at the time
of the World Fair in Chicago. AS
Robert explains:
1--WE saw the model trains in
Chicago and when we came home
We discarded my toy trains and
started on these. It's been q lot
of FUN. I built the freight car
myself and Dad built all the rest.
The fun with these things is
that you're really never finished.

VOTERS TO GET
$1,000 CASH
REFUND

ROCKVILLE, Md, May 3.
FINS was written to Montgomery
Countys much publicized election
recount battle between County
Commissioner Charles E. King,
Fusion, and John B. Diamond,
Democrat, today as the remainder
Of the fund was returned to the
contributors.
Raised through private contri-
buttons from members OF the
County Democratic organization
to defray Mr.. Diamonds share Of
the expense in connection with
the recount Of the ballots IN
several of the county's precincts,
following the 1884 election, only
q small portion was used. Thomas
T.. Mott, Of Edgemoor, Nd,
treasurer of the fund, wishes to
make refund and clear the &C
count, he said today.
While the total fund amounted
to approximately 1890, Mr.. Mott
said today he had nearly $4,000
to return to the various contrib
utorS less their apportionate
share of the amount expended.
AS he does not have a full list
Of the persons who contributed to
this fund he will return to the
various solicitors the apportionate
amount they collected and turned
over to him, and those donating
to the fund should get in touch
with the solicitor to whom they
gave their money, Mr.. Mott said.
The recent fight between Com
missioner King and Diamond arose
over alleged Irregularities in the
tabulation Of votes in several Of
the county's polling places, which
Mr.. Diamond claimed brought
about his defeat in a race for
county commissioner. He was de-
feated by King by a small margin.
Nearly a year and half Of court
fight followed the filing Of a pc
tition for a recount by Mr.. Dia-
mond's attorney and a demurrer
by the attorney for King. It was
eventually dismissed after the court
had ruled against a rehabilitation
Of ballots.
A like fight was waged between
County Commissioner Frank r.
Karn, Fusion president Of the pres
ent board, and Raleigh S. Chinn,
Democrat, which was also dis
missed.

Christeninq
Party

Out at the Roadside Theater
we glimpsed Peggy DeMoll see-
ing the show, looking very
handsome and stylishly tanned
after quite a few weeks at Re-
hoboth. She was in a black and
white check sport frock. With
her were David Dickerson and
Mr.. and Mrs. Hale Darby. Mrs.
Darby was wearing a British
tan shantung frock.
From Peggy we heard the
details of what must have been
very elegant ship-launching
down at Rehoboth. 1t seems
Joe Barnett has just acquired
a new boat and it was decided
that it should be christened in
the proper manner. No mat

In the christening party were
Jackie Harris, Henry Woo d.

was duly brought forth, broken

See These Banners Go, Story
Of Professionalism in America
Frank S. Mead Author, Takes Nine Leading Churches
and Writes of Beliefs Heroes, Struggles and
Contributions Since Year 1919.

Strife within and among the
sects are passed over rather hur-
riedly, and emphasis is placed upon
spiritual, social and educational
contributions. The number Of po-
litical reforms which terminated in
the American Protestant churches
were, to this reader at least, amaz-
ing.
Yet it is a book about men rather
than facts; brave men who dared
suffering and death to preach and
live in the light of their belief.
Whether one believes with these
men, he scarcely can fail TO admire
them.
See These Banners Go" Is a plea
as we'll as a history. What we call
the church is SNOWFALL, rolling,

parts of the SNOWFALL have broken

ways. creating lesser snowballs, other
separate churches. Yet all the
