1t turns out that only two members

that the entire commission or q ma
jority In formal session never author
lied the copying of telegraph mes
sages. 1t has been denied in the Sen

did any copying, and the inference is
that the Senate committee used its
own employees and confronted the tele-
graph companies with subpoenas
which they honored in the belief that
the Federal Communications Com

available.
The Communications Commission,
however, can honor only a subpoena

Of the District Graduate Nurses As
sociation a lovely little story Of how
love and health bloorned together.
The patient was very crotchety. He
refused the entreaties Of his family
that he have o nurse, until the family
called up the Nursing Bureau and told
'em the situation and that Mr.. Cross
patch was bird lover or ornithologist.
Think that stumped the bureau?
Not at all It had just the person.
The nurse arrived and went directly
TO the patient. Her first words were
of a peculiarly beautiful bird she had
seen on her trip out. The patient
erased his glover and directed her to
look in q bookcase. Together they
ruffied its pages in search Of picture
of the bird she described. They found
it and spent half an hour in animated
bird talk"
Next thing you know, the nurse,
who also could play golf, accompanied
the convalescing patient to Florida.

Rain, Hail, Sleet, Snow

The storm scheduled for this sec
ton Saturday, blew in several hours
late, but got here Saturday night,
and brought mixture of rain, hail,
sleet and snow by Sunday, covering
the ground first with coating of ice,
then snow, which resembled granu-
lated sugar or sand when it came to
travelling through it. Traffic condi-
items were bad, and the State Roads
forces were kept busy with snow
plows. All steep grades were so
treacherous that the State Roads
workers sprinkled cinders and gravel
on them as precautionary measures,
as autos found the hills difficult to
negotiate. Although the snowfall
was probably not over three inches
in depth, the storm was one of the
winters worst in point of hardships
that it brought about. Low tenn
peratures prevailed.

Water Hydrant Is
Broken

Some reckless auto driver crashed
into one Of the town hydrants, on
West Main street, Sunday night,
breaking it off and allowing water
to squirt from the water main. The
unknown autoist made his getaway,
and it was some hours before the
break was discovered, and more
hours before the cut-offs in the
street could be located, ice chopped
away and the water shut off. The
freezing temperature converted the
escaping water into ice, extending
from below the Ford garage, where
the hydrant is located, clear 20 the
creek, west of town, distance of
more than quarter of a mile.
The escaping water hampered work
on the sewer trenches being dug west
of town, and covered the roadway at
that point with ice several inches in
thickness.

Asking for substitute for the
unconstitutional AAA to be enacted
as quickly as possible, the Maryland
Farm Bureau Federation also went
on record today as favoring immedi-
ate monetary reform, such as the bill
proposed in Congress by Maryland's
Representative T. Alan Goldsbor-
ough last May to restore the pur-
chasing power of the farmer.
Submitted by Wilbert L. Smith
resolutions committee chairman, the
resolution recalled that the Colds
borough amendment to the banking
pill had failed to pass the House by
a vote of only 1872 to 1913.
Had this amendment passed 1t
would have made it mandatory that
the price level would be raised to
the 1926 level. 1t would have Great
ed legislation to prevent violent

ton read. Farm prices are still
out of fair relation to taxes, freight
rates, farm machinery and other
costs.
Prosperity cannot return when
agriculture furnishes one-sixth Of the
nations capital, represents one
fourth of the gainfully employed and
receives one-tenth of the national in
