There's something screwy about

OF the candidates, campaign man.
ayers, lesser aides, and in the nerv.
BUSINESS out in the counties.
1t appears to boil down to this:
No one knows what Is going
to happen on September IL, and
no one has the remOtest idea
what may happen before then to
affect the deStinies Of the rival
candidates for the Democratic
senatorial nomination.
They all know on both sides that
the nomination is not Sin the bag. "
In the Tydings camp they're
worrying about the Eastern Shore
and Southern Maryland. Neces-
sarily so, since Davey Lewis home
territory in Western Maryland is
his first stronghold.
In the Lewis camp, on the other
hand, they're wondering whether
they can crack Baltimore, and
even If they can, where they are

False Teeth WearerS Are

Plates and bridges soak up odors
and impurities like a sponge! A thin
dark scum collects on them. This
scum holds germs and decay bacte-

brushing seldom removes it. And it
gets into every tiny creyice where
brushing can't even reach. Almost
always it results in "denture breath"

COCKINESs VANISHES

Wnen the campaign started, the
TydingS people, including the Sen
ator were pretty cocky. They're
wondering now about those to
bacco farmers in Southern Mary
land who are hooked up with the
AAA and getting benefit payments
from the Government-Which Sen
ator TydingS opposed. And about
the truck farmers on the Eastern
Shore, where TydingS never has
been too popular. And they're
nervous about Montgomery county
and almost expecting to lose Prince
Georges because of the New Deal
vote.
On the other side of the cam
paign fence Davey Lewis and his
aides keep hearing that President
Roosevelt and New Deal "tops'
are going to help him-but how
and when? And though they know
that President Roosevelt is still
vastly popular in Maryland, they
are not SO sure his popularity can
be transferred to Lewis in q State
noted for its independence.
Also Lewis is known as a friend
Of labor, and on the Eastern Shore
they hate the CIO enough to feed
it coated bug poisons. Also, with
most of the county organizations
lined up for Tydings, how car
Lewis break through this more OF
less solid organization strength in
a party primary?
FROM THE INSIDE
All this is straight from the in.

talking. Result: You don't hear
so many public claims as the

that there's a lot of work to be

He should know the condition of the water pipes, the stiffness of the house, the length of life that is to be expected from the roof, and other matters that are usually beyond the knowledge and experience of an average prospective home owner.
 A house is security for the money that it costs, and like any good se- curity, should retain it's value. l believe that buyer will ind that his money is well spent in engaging an architect or a competent and unbiased builder to make thor ough examination of the house, and to report on its condition. This will show the extent of depreciation. It will also be a guide as to the re. pairs diIu iSpidCSiliSilto tlldt Will De necessary in the future-the condi- ton of the heating plant, the sound. ness of the timbers, the resistance of walls and roof to weather and to leakage of air and water, the soundness of the masonry and the condition of the mortar joints. All of those details have a bearing on the real value of the house, and on the maintenance expenses to which an owner will be subjected. The fee for examination will not be great; but whatever it may be. it will be little enough to pay for protection against the buying of a poorly built house.

'I was so surprised that l guess I screamed. Of course, he heard me and looked up. Hello, MT. Jay!' said he, and grinned, and when he grinned he showed his teeth and they were very big. I had begun to think that nobody lives around here and was getting kind of lonesome. You don't happen to know where there is any honey, do you?' The idea of thinking that there would be any honey as early in the spring as this!

DON'T BUY WORKOUT HOUSE

NIHEN family goes house.
 W hunting, the first thought is for location, and the second for house with the necessary number of rooms. Satisfied on these points, the choice is likely to go to the house that is attractive in appearance and prettily decorated. Unfortunately, little thought may be given to an- other point, although as matter of fact, it is of high importance. This is the judging of the house by what it will cost to occupy; what the heating cost will be, and the prob able need for future repairs and re- placements. The purchase price is paid but once. while the costs of occupancy go on for as long as the house is lived in. The lower they are, the better. For an ex- ample, consider two houses, that while otherwise the same, have diff ferences in construction that make it possible for one of them to be heated for $50 less per winter than the other. The house that makes the saving is a better buy than the other. even though the purchase price may be higher.
 If the previous occupant of house can be located, he should be asked about the amount of fuel that was burned Another source of infor- mation is a local dealer in coal or oil. Quite often a next-door neigh. bor will know.

 The nail tip is often quite striking in it's length, and the nail is in. variably long, narrow. inclined to convexity of form and well set. With the hand extended wide, the finger lies extremely close to the third fin. ger, and with fingers pressed to- gether its tip falls just below that of the third finger.

 He learned to throw baseball with amazing speed and control. In 1929, he was signed up by Don Curtiss, scout for the Cardinals Texas league. The salary was com paratively small, but it looked like a fortune to the former cotton pick CT. After training in Houston, he was shipped to St. Joseph, Mo-. where his confidence and fast pitch ing won IT games. Transferred to Houston, he developed rapidly and soon became star pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. Meantime. his brother Paul. or "Daffy." also won a pitching berth on the Cardinals. Dizzy was always the more spec tacular, the higher paid. and the more widely publicized. He has endorsed many advertised products, made a motion picture. appeared in vaudeville, and spoken over the ra- dio. His recent earnings have been $40, 900 or more per year.

 Three years later, George Wash ington Carver went on to Iowa State university. graduating with de- gree in agriculture. In two more years he won his Master of Science degree, and was made a member of the faculty. so impressive were his accomplishments in agricultural chemistry. In 1897, he took charge of the agricultural department at Tuskegee institute, in Alabama, leading negro university.
 The contributions George Wash ington Carver has made to agricul- ture of the South are outstanding. He was among the first to advocate crop rotation for wornout soil and he has developed hundreds of com mercially useful articles from the principal agricultural products of Southern states. From the peanut alone Carver made 285 products and from the sweet potato ll8. Thomas A. Edison once invited him to work with him, but he preferred to con- centrate on problems of southern agriculture.

THERE are some men and women whose successes are seemingly achieved solely through tireless scheming and almost un- canny foresight. Such people gain their objectives by secrecy and shrewdness. which often fall just short of cunning. In matters of finance particularly, they seldom miss a trick. which is sometimes taken at the expense of the other fellow.
