Heart Attack
Is Fatal To
S. w. Gambrill
Stricken In Washington
Last Monday - Funeral
Services Today

Congressman Stephen w. Gambrill
died in Washington on December IL
as a result of a heart attack. How
ard County's Congressional son had
been failing In health for several
years but he had apparently re-
gained vigor. He was at his office
when the attack came and died
shortly after he was taken to the
office of the House Physician.
Funeral services will be conducted
in Washington this Thursday
today.
Mr.. Gambrill was a nephew Of
the late Arthur P. German, ST., and
politically was an organization man
until the death of the senior German.
Upon the death Of his uncle, how
ever, he challenged the leadership
Of Arthur p. German, Jr., and this
challenge led to the bitterest primary
campaign Howard Countians had
ever witnessed. Mr.. Gambrill's first
public office was as member of the
House of Delegates. He was elected
to this post in 1919 when the organi-
cation and anti-organization forces
divided the local offices. During the
1919 primary campaign Senator Cor
man died. Before the campaign Of
1921 opened Mr.. Gambrill had made
peace with the organization forces.
The combination was challenged by
the Joshua N. Wardield, James Clark,
Joseph L. Donovan wing of the party
and another hard primary contest
ensued. Mr.. Gambrill was reelected
and subsequently became Democratic
floor leader. In 1923 he was elected
to the State Senate and in 1924, fol-
lowing the death Of the late Sidney
E. Mudd, was elected to both the
short and regular term as repre-
sentative in Congress from the Fifth
Congressional District.
He was reelected every two years
since that time having enjoyed an
increased majority each time. He
was reelected in November for the
term which begins in January.
All flags on postoffices and federal
buildings throughout the Fifth Con-
gressional District were ordered to
fly at half-mast in reverence Of his
death.
Mr.. Gambrill was born October 2,
1873, in Howard county. He was
son of the late Stephen and Kate
German Gambrill, and a nephew Of
the late Senator Arthur p. German,
Sr.
His father began work as a pay
master with the old Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, and eventually became
president of the company. The
younger Gambrill began his educa-
ton in the county public schools and
at Brookville Academy.
Then he attended the Maryland
Agriculture College. now a part Of
the University Of Maryland, and

Roosevelt" and Hitler" Grace
Richard Montgomery Assembly
Character Sketch Depicts Contrast Between Amer
can and German Customs And Ideals-Work Of
Local Class In Democracy

If one had entered the gymnasium
of Richard Montgomery High School
during social personality period last
week he probably would have been
greatly surprised in finding none
other than Adolph Hitler and Frank
lin D. Roosevelt present.
On close examination however, one
would come to find that the persons
there were really not the Fuehrer nor
the President, but actual students of
Richard Montgomery High School.
This program was given in assembly
as an outgrowth of the work that the
Problems of Democracy class has
done this year and the purpose was
to show the vast difference between
Germany and American life.
The stage was appropriately set to
portray these vast differences be-
tween America and Germany. The
swastika and the Nazi microphone
and the American flag and the N. B.
c. microphone were used to repre-
sent the countries. The characteristics
of Nazism and its horrors and cruelty
to its subjects, and the democracy
with it's government organized "of, by
and for the people" was shown by
contrasting speeches by Hitler and
Roosevelt. These characters were i'm
personated by Russell Davis and
Gordon Rosenberger.

 Santa Claus has filled the shops with q million kitchen gadgets. Their numbers are confusing, but here are a few that are well worth having.
 A set of four new transparent acetate food containers will please your own kitchen or that of a friend on Christmas Day. They look almost like crystal, are feather weight, durable and easy to clean and come in graduated sizes with red, green, light and dark blue and ivory covers. You can take one look at them and see just how much sugar or coffee or tea or what have you is left. Very inexpensive and very gay, as well as practical for the modern home.
 Easy Ice Crusher
 Crack ice, for the entertaining season is upon usl Better give your beverage pantry a sturdy new triple ice crusher that cracks ice (not thumbs) fine, medium or coarse. Looks like an airplane bomb with the crusher part in polished chrom- ium and a streamlined plastic ice

The group of educators who talk this way is small, for most teachers lean toward the scholarly, and a scholar likes to think practical things like earning living aren't as important as being able to ap- preciate the beautiful in life.
 Still and all, the trend seems to be toward more practical education for the great bulk of high school students.
 Fighting for it in New York is Associate Superintendent Dr. Ed ward Mandel, who has been an ed- ucator for 50 years, and who thinks that today it is up to high schools to give their students the kind of vocational training the young used to get as apprentices.
 He thinks 1t is about time, too, that students were taught that there is a dignity to the shop equal to the dignity of Virgil"
 While the educators are fighting among themselves the battle of academic subjects vs. vocational training, the boys and girls who are in high shool right now and know they won't be going on to college, had better decide for themselves.
 Will they be better fitted for the life they have to face if they have

.BEAUTY- GI0riying
 Yourself

(NEA Service Staff Writer)
 It isn't exactly easy, of course, but it is true that unless there is something organically wrong with her, any painfully thin woman can gain few pounds. A great deal of rest an dsleep, carefully planned diet and the right kind of exercise are the answer.
 If you are determined to take on some weight and so attain a per- fectly proportioned, well-rounded figure, first of all make an appoint ment with your family doctor and have 8 thorough physical examina-. ton. Tell him your plans and get his advice.
 You ought to plan to sleep be- tween eight and nine (the nearer nine the better) hours every night and, if possible, rest for twenty minutes or half an hour sometime during the afternoon.
 You should do a few stretching and limbering exercises every morn ing and take 8 long walk at least twice a week. This way, you'll be sure that the flesh you hope to ac- quire will be solid and that the skin over it will have what the beauty salone experts are pleased to call tone"
 Now plan to eat oftener-less at time, naturally, but oftener. For breakfast, have slice of toast and some cereal with half milk. half cream, as well as the fruit and coffee you have been eating. This won't be easy at first, but, later on, you'll come to enjoy a rather hearty meal at the beginning of the day.

Delightful Gardens Thrive
 Under Glass

Plant gay little woodland beau- ties in your terrarium = bright red partridge berries, delicate n1ai- denhair fern and trailing club moss.
 From tiny plants, which you can get in pots, you soon have an en- chanting garden if you prepare your terrarium this simple way. Just put in an inch or two of drainage material, such as pebbles or broken flower pot, and fill quarter full of soil.
 From front and sides you'll see no soil if you slope the earth, al lowing moss to trail gracefully over it-as the diagram shows. s
 A cool north window is the best place for these bright woodland plants. If you room temperature is above 65 degrees, uncover ter rariun for few hours daily.
 Other fascinating ideas for glass gardens? Plant tiny palms with pink-flowering begonia and coleus with leaves of yellow-green.
 Exotic orchids, snowy gardenias. curious cacti, tiny seeding trees all thrive under glass. Our S2- page booklet gives you complete in- structions for making and caring for these and many other lovely, inexpensive glass and dish gardens. Herb gardens

WASH HOOKED RUGS CAREFULLY

Handmade rugs of cut rags hooked through base of coarse burlap may usually be cleaned quite safely at home by scrubbing with brush dipped in a thick, mild studs. Dip the brush into the studs, not the water, so that the surface, not the backing, is dampened, and scrub only a small area at a time, taking care to overlap the strokes. Wipe of the studs with a clean wet cloth and spread in shady, airy place to dry. A little ammonia added to the studs tends to brighten the colors.
