But that's an idle specu- Marsh

improbable chronicle as this.
Cornelius Brunt did 60 swim
ming. 1t was the hottest night of
the year - we'll over eighty de-
\ grees at nine o'clock - and there
was Long Island Sound. So Cor;
nelus went swimming, and some
body stole his clothes.
+ They weren't very good "a

regarded them as his worst handi- #

his sisters husband, mot in these

office boy looks at me, and thinks,

way And not so thin as they
should have been, except in
places where they shouldn't be.
Long ago. Cornyd given up his
desk-room in New York. And
now he'd come to live with his
married sister at Smithtown, whence he made
occasional trips to the city to apply for jobs
as craftsman, or anything.
That was the situation when the County
Gazette" printed an item about the new pub
lie library to be built at Stlton. This was the
gift of beneficent citizen named Otto Werfel.
"The building has been entrusted to COM
mittee headed by George Harkness Barker.

mediately."
"Why 'almost?" Corny inquired of his
brother-in-law at dinner What times the

its obligation by setting Cornelius down in

'Yes," the man answered. He had been

1t was an attractive house behind hedge

The maid shifted. Cornelius wasn't sure
whether the sniff indicated hauteur or the
aroma of fertilizer. He had been vaguely
aware of the latter since he had descended
from the truck.
And he never had been so conscious of that
suit. Mr.. Barker didn't even ask him to sit
down. IAN architect at this hour!'' Mr..

a sheep as lamb
There was very big house, with lot of
lights in it, two hundred yards away, but
here only solitude, and sand, and the face
of the cliff. So Cornelius went swimming, and
somebody stole his clothes.
He was relieved, at first. 'Never see that
confounded old thing again, anyhow" And
then, slowly but awfully, he became aware of
his predicament. my Godr he thought;
"how'm going to get homer"
They hadn't left him even a shirt; not so
much as a single sock. money gone, too.
What use would money be now, anyhow
What'm going to dor" He was walking up
and down; peering, poling, praying that the
thief might have dropped so much as a pair
of shorts. Or ri1ed his trousers, and aban-
doned them. No such luck. "Gosh! Corny
realized. II can't walk back to the highway
not like this. I'd be pincted the minute l
hit the first street-lamp"
A moment later, he had an idea. The big
house. An hotel, probably. An hotel on the
beach. There'd be a latticed enclosure, and
clothes-line, and bathing suits hung up to dry.
IF I could get into bathing suit. maybe
somebody'd give me lift back to Smith

But there was no lattice. Only music.
Somebody was giving dance I'D better get

Beou+y Hints
By Nina Temple

Some women's hair turns gray
beautifully while other women's
haid turns an ugly gray in streaks.
For those who are not improved
by gray hair I would recommend
good dye as one should preserve
her good looks as long as pos

There is a splendid dye which
you can apply yourself at home. I
will send the same if you will send

MONTGOMERY
TAXCUT HELD
UNLIKELY

ROCKVILLE, Md, June 2.
Despite an increase of approx
mately $4,000, 900 in the assesSable
basis of Montgomery county this
year over last, any reduction in
the county tax rate seems un-
likely, County Commissioner Paul
M. Coughlan declared here today.
Coughlan explained that with
the present tax rates Of $1.50 per
500 the increased aSSeSSable
basis would provide about SIS 900
additional revenue. But offsetting
this, he said, the operating expense
Of several county departments and
interest on maturing bonds will
also increase materially.
In the school budget for the
fiscal year 1936-1937, the commits
sioner cited an increase Of ap-
proximately $85, 900 over last year.
The budget this year being $685.
210 while last year it was $605, ,691.
Last years school budget showed
an increase Of nearly 100000 over
the previous year, he said.
This increase in the school op-
Grating expense is necessitated by
the opening of additional schools,
Coughlan said.
Last year the commissioners
needed to levy only $14,700 for
election expenses, while this year
this amount will increase to ap-
proximately $35, 900, he said. This
is caused by the general election
IN November and the primary
election of last month.

DC. Man Builds House
to Further Hobby
C. Mayors is building a house

L. C. Mayors is building house
so he can have a basement-so
he can run his trains.
Mr.. Mayors is a model train
builder by hobby. He finds his
present residence in an apartment
house in the 1900 block of Twenty
first st. N. w. too cramped for the
operation of his trains. And So:
"I'm building a house, be-
cause / need a basement for the
trains. When / have that, I
can lay the tracks and keep
them laid. As it is now, when
ever want to run the trains,
have to put down 80 or 80
feet of track, and circle it
under beds and chairs and
tables"
Mr.. Mayors, an architect, con.
structs his trains from the ori.
ginal blueprints of real trains. He
himself builds practically all the
parts, and there are some strange
articles mixed UP in his set of
trains.
For instance, the water tower is
made of a coffee can, painted an
The Washington times., 1936-06-02

aluminium gray. The tank car,
now in the process Of construc-
ton, is an enrolling pin. The
rail on his observation platform
consists of q row of pins.
About 18 years ago, Mr.. Mayors
had an outdoor railroad yard,
with a complete set of trains. But
that didn't prove so successful,
the weather interfering.
And so for a while, he aban-
doned his hobby, renewing his in
tereSt in it about a year ago.

BOYS INTRAMURAL B. b.

Beginning next week there will be
intramural basketball games. Each
class has enough for team. The
Seniors will probably lend the soph-
ignores one player. This is a very
good undertaking, as it will give
every boy a chance to play basket
ball.
Members of the boys first team
are having hard scrimmages all of
this week, improving on offense.
The girls are also practicing for
their first game with Richland.
They will not have as many games
this year as usual, due to the fact
that some of the other teams are
not playing conference games this
year. The girls team, however, will
do it's best to make the home town
proud of them and to show the
people that the boys are not the
only athletes in town. The girls
have promised to support the boys
team and they ask the public to CO.
operate.

EDITORIAL

Here we are at the end of our
second six weeks and, incidentally,
the annual six weeks tests arrive at
about this time. These tests are
not as hard as we imagine and, If
we will only apply ourselves, they
will seem as daily lessons, instead
of something to cram for all at
once. This is merely a suggestion,
bit it is much wiser to keep your
lessons up to date rather than wait
till the time for the six weeks or
the semester tests, which then take
three times as much examining to
prepare for Your high school
grades mean great deal in your
future, so keep them up to the best
of your ability.
