The stock market developed ir-
regular price tendencies today,
after an initial extension of yes
terday's brisk advance. Trading
turned extremely quiet.
Gains ran to a point at the open

far. Advances were gradually
converted into small losses in the
majority of stocks, and elsewhere
gains we're reduced to a minimum.

Through the second hour, lead
ers backed and filled around their
lows in sluggish dealings.
Consolidated Edison was among
those to buck the reaction, climb

The accident cost the department

ceived from various sources and
leaves about $500 to be obtained. A

Equalization OF
Assessments Asked
By Civic Group
Demands Made On Commits
siOners By Delegation Citing
Situation ''DeplOrable"

Immediate action to equalize real
estate assessments in Montgomery
county was demanded Of the county
commissioners Tuesday in Rockville
by delegation from the Montgomery
County Civic Federation.
The demands were made by H. S.
Yohe, president of the federation; Col.
o. P. M. Brown, chairman of the leg
islation and legal action committee
and Washington l. Cleveland, past
president. The delegation declared
that the present state of inequality in
is "deplorable" and pre-
dicted that substantial increase in
revenues would be gained by the move.
Emphasis was laid on the fact that
an act Of the Legislature of 1887
gives the county board authority to
raise or lower assessments for equali-
cation purposes, although a general
countrywide re-assessment is forbid
den by another statute.
The commissioners took no action
on the petition for rezoning of prop
erty in Sligo Park Hills, section 7 and
s, to permit erection of apartment
houses.
The commissioners were informed
by DR.. Mark Welsh, State veterinar-
ian, that large area in Cabin John
will be placed under dog quarantine
due to recent discovery of dog with
rabies in the area. The quarantine
will cover the area bounded by Will
son Lane on the South, Falls road,
north; River road, east, and the Po-
t01nac River, west, and will be in eff
feet from February 10 to May 10. 1t
will be required that dog owners keep
their pets in pens or on leach at all
times. Dogs found running at large
will be destroyed.

VIM. H. Burdette Is
Appointed Judge
OF Orphans Court
Succeeds ThOs. C. Kelly, Who
Resigned To Practice Law
In County

William H. Burdette, well-known
Damascus farmer, has been chosen to
succeed Judge Thomas C. Kelley when
the latter resigns his seat on the
bench of the Orphans Court for
Montgomery County.
Mr. Burdette, who ran on the Fus.
ion ticket in 1884 for one of the three
places on that tribunal, will be nomi-
mated for the impending vacancy by
the Republican Central Committee for
the county, which is tantamount to
appointment.
The selection of Mr.. Burdette was
made known this week by Walter w.
Dawson of Rockville, committee
chairman, who said the nomination
is to be forwarded to Governor Nice
when Judge Kelley tenders his resig-
nation.
Judge Kelley let it be known re-
Gently that he would retire from the
bench to practice law, but his collea-
CUES prevailed upon him to remain
until hearings now under way in
contested will case are concluded.
He said this week that his resigna-
ton would be forwarded to the Gov
ernor at that time. He already has
established law Office at Rockville.
Mr.. Burdette is the Republican
party chairman for Damascus District.
He ran for county commissioner on
the Republican ticket some years ago
and lost by small margin.

Interest Spreads
In Motion Picture
Cooking School
All County Women Are Invited
To Film Entertainment At
Milo Lyric March PA

Evidently we will not have to get
out engraved announcements for that
reunion of homemakers on March 2-3-
A at the Milo and Lyric Theatres.
Good news does travel fast, particu-
larly when it is news of gala party
for the community, with gifts, with
quality entertainment, cheered by
jollity and novelty, and spiced with
knowledge.
No door cards, coupons, printed in
vitations, or cash will be needed; just
the countersign of all alert house
keepers, who are due to say "Show me
the latest home IDEAS" when they adj
vance on the local theatres on The
Iabove dates.
Showing every person in every
theatre seat the triumphant new 1888
Cooking School, direct from Holly
wood, will be no problem for motion
picture ingenuity has joined forces
with scientific homemaking to produce
an original laboratory course that
deftly combines romance, sprightly
humor, originality and profitable in
struction.
All of the popular features of the
former Cooking School are here: The
free recipe sheets, the atmosphere of
congenial informality, the wise coun-
sci, the hints on clever shortcuts, the
up-to-the minute suggestions for en-
tertaining and the demonstration of
delicious and norishing dishes.
And the camera has assembled all
that sound information = not as a
routine lecture, not as formal "high-
brow" demonstration, but as a real
Romance of Homemaking, full of sus-
pense and charm land informal chats
from one good cook to another.
What about the story and what
about the cast?
Some familiar Hollywood faces will
be recognized in this production, which
was filmed and directed in one of the
famous West Coast studios. The
heroine is a winsome bride, who
shares the perplexities of many an
older housekeeper. Actually the title
should be at Might Happen Here,
for the human story has universal ap-
peal. And it might have happened
right in this community.
Numerous nationally known firms
and progressive merchants from our
own community are joining in making
the entertaining school available. They
promise a daily harvest of generous
gifts and surprises, which will be
distributed in addition to the useful
recipe sheets.
