MARYLAND EXTRA
SESSION STALLED
Attendance Cut Short by
Floods and Quorum
Is Lacking.
BY JACK ALLEN,
Stan Correspondent OF The Star.

ANNAPOLIS, April 27.-The task Of
enacting an adequate program for So
cial security and unemployment relief
in Maryland today stood virtually
where it was when the State Assembly
convened In special session f1ve days
ago.
Members Of the Legislature, who
shut up shop and left on a week end
holiday just Is hours after they gath
cred in response to Gov. Harry w.
Nice's call, failed to turn . wheel
toward achieving their objective last
night.
The House was unable to produce Q
quorum and adjourned until 1:20 pm.
today after IS minutes spent tn vain
endeavor to locate absentees, only q
few Of whom were prevented from
reaching Annapolis because of flood
conditions
Only 18 Senators answered to their
names in the upper branch of the
States lawmaking body and business
was confined to perfunctory matters
and the introduction Of two relatively
unlmportant measures.
Sixty Maximum In House.
Thirty-eight Delegates were present
when the House was called to order by
Speaker Emanuel Gorflne at 9:05 pm.
Sixty we're in the seats when the roll
was called again eight minutes later,
but at 9:25 pm, when third roll was
taken, there were but 50.
With 81 required to constitute =
quorum, Delegate Kent r. Mulliken
of Prince Georges County, majority
floor leader, expressed doubt that q
sufficient number would be secured
and moved that the House adjourn
until this afternoon.
The House-under the terms of the
Constitution-can adjourn from day
to day when no quorum Is present
without actually losing legislative
day. It will still be meeting under
the order Of last nights business when
1t meets this afternoon.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee also was unable to meet because
Of absentees and no action was taken
on the matters before that group.
Relief Survey Sought.
Business in the Senate was confined
in the main to the introduction by
Senator Raymond Kennedy of Balti-
more City Of q bill requesting Gov.
Nice to appoint a committee to study
the whole relief question and report
back to the Assembly In 1899, and the
presentation Of local bill from Ale
gany County.
Senator j. Allan Coad of st. Marys
County, chairman Of the Senate FL
nance Committee, told newspapermen
last night that but for $50 much pride
Of authorship" in q dozen or 80 pro-
posals being prepared for the Legisla-
ture the relief problem could be dis
posed Of by tomorrow.

rave about.
Oil Treatment Essential
Heat and dryness will demand
an occasional oil treatment to keep
your hair soft and lustrous. This
is also a good emergency treatment,
after day at the beach. to replace
natural oils. "gone with the wind"
The oil treatment is especially good
If your hair is too dry just after
shampoo and has a tendency to
become too oily later.
Olive oil is one of the Oldest
beauty preparations and Is still rec
ognized as an effective and mex
pensive aid to parched scalps. Wig
orous scalp massage should be con-
sidered an important part of the oil
treatment. Avoid using a high de-
gree of artificial heat in drying,
especially when there is a tendency
toward dry scalp and brittle hair.
Give yourself the treatment once
each month. and the scalp will defy
summer temperatures.
