apartment telling stories Of their
friends, funerals, weddings, births
and drinking habits. They borrow
everything from my pants up to the
electric iron and my wife's face
powder and little sisters skates.
My wife is docile, cultured and so
kind that she has not the least
idea how to combat such people.
She is courteous and kind to every
one. I've moved eight times in four
years and find each move nets worse
returns. Here come four people to
see what 1 am writing SO I shall
close asking you to publish this let
ter with the hope it will help some
poor sufferer like me to see that he
isn't alone.
THE END OF ANOTHER
AWFUL DAY.
Answer-You should feel sorry for
these people, because the paucity of
their dull lives drives them to find
entertainment in the lives of others.
The dull and drab happenings of
their little daily experiences takes
on supreme Importance because they
haven't anything else to think
about.
The gregariousness which they
have in common with the whole
human race prompts them to
share their thoughts, little or big,
with others. They are hungry for
cOmpaniOnship and do not know
that they are bores.
However, the fact that you feel
sorry for them is no reason for you
TO let such people swarm in and out
of your apartment like flies.
In dealing with them you must
speak their language, for they do
not understand yours. No subtle
hints will be understood
You simply will have to come out
in a flat-footed fashion and tell
them in words of one syllable that
you want to be alone with your
family. Their feelings will be hurt,
to be sure, for they do not under
stand the desire for privacy. You
need not be nasty, but you do need
to learn certain skillful technique in
getting rid of people whom you do
not want.
N0te-If the cartoonist who wrote
the column short time ago will
send his address, have telephone
number for him to call.

One advantage of glass fence

that while the passerby could not

shrubs could continue to get the

The Appellate Court has ordered
the La Grange Circuit Court to
award Mrs. Saba Bogue of La Grange
a Judgment Of s234s against the de-
funct La Grange County Trust Co.
The decision was made on the APP
peal of Mrs. Bogue to make her

A similar decision involving the
La Grange bank was handed down
by the court this week. 1t also
established a preferred claim of a
depositor. Rollo N. Walter, former
State Senator and secretary of the
bank, was indicted and served IL
months in the state prison on a
charge growing out of the Bogue
bond transaction.
Walter was freed on one indict-
ment and appeal on the second
count is pending before the Supreme

ROCKVILLE. Nd. August 1.-THE
proposed construction Of q Summer
theater on the Seventh Street Pike
near Norbeck was blocked by the
Board of Montgomery County Com
missioners today when it voted to
deny an application for the rezoning
necessary to build the playhouse.
The application was rejected by q
vote Of four to one following the re-
ceipt of q recommendation from the
Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission that Q permit
be denied.
The lone supporter of the applica-
ton was Commissioner Charles Z.
King.
Stephen E. Cochran. manager of the
National Theater. Washington, had
proposed to erect a modern theater
on the old Darby farm between
Wheaton and Norbeck for the presen-
tation of plays after the National
Theater closed In the Summer.
Many protests developed. however,
when the application for re1oning the
proposed site was filed with the COM
missioners by Matthew Trimble, owner
of the land. The petition opposing
the move was presented to the board
by . large number Of residents along
the pike, while a number of oppo-
nents appeared before the commits
sioners at a recent hearing.
It was contended by opponents that
approval Of the theater project would
furnish An opening wedge for other

stroy the residential character Of the

FOOD PRICES DUE
FOR SHARP RISE
Drought's Effects Likely to
Be Similar to Those
Two Years Ago.
PS the Associaied Press.

Experts guessed" today that It
won't be long before the housewife
lays out from sl1 to s12 for the same
basket of food she now buys for a $40
bill.
Government and private experts,
admitting exact estimates are impos-
sible. nevertheless forecast upward re-
vision of the family grocery budgets.
They explained that when the
scorching sun shriveled crops in recent
months the dollars food purchasing
power went into q dive. 1t already
has affected milk. butter and eggs in
some places. and eventually will reach
meats, they said.
The experts said their best guesses"
were based on what happened after
the drought two years ago.
Consumer purchasing power. which
was on the upgrade after the 1884
drought and has been reported in
creasing since. also plays an important
part in food prices. they said.
Index Up IL Per Cent.
An intricate check on average food
costs is kept by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics with the prices from 1923
to 1925 placed at LOO. The bureau
reported the food cost rose from an
index of about 73 at the start of the
1884 drought to a peak of 81 in 1885,
or about IL per cent.
The last retail food index in July
was "a. Thus, increases In food costs
because of the present drought may
came after the arid period of 1884, it
was said.
Meat prices may dip slightly for a
few months and then soar upward
next Spring and Summer, according
to c. A. Burmeister. economist at the
Agriculture Department. who has been
following meat trends for Is years.
Burmeister said beef prices ad-
1884, and the peak year later. after
first declining. due to increasing mar
keting of animals. Pork followed a
similar trend, he said, although it did
not reach q peak until September,
1885.
Dairy Products to Be Curbed.
Almost 80 per cent of the corn crop
is fed for meat or milk production,
he said, and 50 the short crop this
Fall will mean less meat and dairy
products next year.
The drought already has turned
prices of milk. butter and dairy prices
upward in some places. according to
the A. A. A. Consumers Council. This
was established to watch the con-
sumer angle under Federal farm
plans.
White bread prices have remained
about the same in recent weeks. the
consumer group said. Secretary WAL
lace said recently that even the short
wheat crop was ample for milling
-four and other domestic needs.
