 Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June S6-(UP)--A boyhood friend placed Franklin Delano Roosevelt in renomination for president of the United States today. He cast his candidate in the, role of defender of the faith of the people. Judge John '. Mack of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, de. livered the nominating speech to delegates who came here last Tues day for the single purpose of send- Ing to the 1886 presidential wars the victorious Roosevelt Garner ticket of 1882.

"The issue now" he said, Ifs whether the people are going to retain control of the processes of government or whether they are going to turn them back to this small group whose destructive abuse of their former power was responsible for all our troubles.

Maryland Garden Week
Opens May 4, 5, 6 and z

Ninety-four gardens, homes and
public buildings of historic interest
will be op a throughout Maryland
during Maryland's Garden Week, May
A, 5, 6, ana z, which is sponsored by
the Federated Garden Clubs of Mary
land.
Many hundreds of visitors are ex-
pected to pour into all sections Of the
state. Arrangements have been made
for the opening of private estates
which at other times of the year are
not available to the public, and many
of which have not hitherto been open.
Approximately forty more places win
be opened this year than were to be
seen during the last Pilgrimage, in
1881.
| The places to be visited include ten
homes and historic sites in Hartford
and Cecil Counties, five in and around
Baltimore, twenty nine in Annapolis
and Anne Arundel County, six in
Howard County, nine in Prince
Georges County, ten in Charles,
seven in Calvert and twenty-one in
st. Mary's.
From Baltimore to the tip end Of
st. Mary's county on the south is lit
tie more than a hundred miles, while
the places to be visited on the north
and west are included within thirty
miles. Thus it is possible to cover the
whole area with comfort during the
period of the pilgrimage, planning .
tour for each day and returning at
night to Baltimore. However, over
night accommodations have been ar
ranged in different sections, some Of
them being clubs only open to the
public during the pilgrimage. Tickets
for different sections and descriptive
booklets may be purchased from the
secretary, Miss Rebecca Boyce, Belve-
dere Hotel, Baltimore, where repre-
sentatives Of the Federation will be on
hand to suggest in arranging tours

 To overcome this air swallowing, the mother should sit up while the baby is nursing and hold the baby in semi-erect posture. Just before nursing the baby, she may hold him upright over her shoulder.
 If she will then pat him lightly on the back, he will be likely to belch up the air. After the nurs- ing is completed, the same pro- cedure should be followed for Q short time.
