(Thirty-Ninth OF a Sertes.) J

BERLIN (By AirmaiD. II am
getting fascinated by these kids in
uniform. Last night coming home
from the German National Short
Wave Radio Broadcasting Station
one of these boys sat opposite me.
He wore the uniform of first lieu
tenant, and by its color. a darkish
blue-gray, knew he was in the air
service.
BY the color of his shoulder tabs
bright yellow-I knew he was
pilot and not a member of the
ground crew. He was a very nice
kid, with a boys smile He could
see was some kind of confused
foreign dope, so when l got tangled
up changing trains at junction
he came up and offered to straighten
me out. and he did and he went on
his way and I went on mine, out I
am telling you that these kids in
uniform get you down If you sre an
old man of IS and therefore just
barely able to drag around.
The Germans have plenty of men
of all ages and they don't put these
kids into pilots uniform because
there are no others. They do 1t for
the same reason that the British
and the French and the Americans
do it, because kids from 20 to 25
have the resistance which older men

this true of the air service. Because
this requires quickness-absolute CO.
ordination between eye and brain
and swift moving hand to swing a
plane into power dive at just the
split second or to press the machine
gun lever just as an opponent flashes
across the line of fire.
And the age for this is from l8 to
about %, because when you break
Is you have already begun to slow
up and they will get you, which
doesn't matter so much, out they
will also get the plane and planes
cost money.
What gets me down is that pres
emily the air over the Rhine is going
to be full of these quick moving kids
with pink baby skins and nice
friendly smile trying to fill one an
others skulls with steel slugs be-
cause they are of an age where they
still trust the world and the older
people who explain that it is very
important and highly patriotic for
them to do this. and that thereby
something of extraordinary slfinifi-
canoe will be proved either for or
against things like Democracy or
Jews or National Socialism or COL
onies of Weltgheist.
Now I know that in any war a lot
of people inevitably get killed And
having seen good deal Of people
who want war or plan war or blum
deringly allow war to happen, l
would not mind this 50 much. But
what gets me down is that in this
war a lot of the wrong people are
going to get killed for the wrong
reasons-hundreds and thousands
and millions of them-before it
finally gets the turn Of the right
people for the right reason, II. in
deed, their turn ever comes at all.
And if you could meet some of the
wrong people and see how nice and
friendly and young and innocex.
and trusting they are, it would get

A New Law, With Teeth, Safe

No more will Clerks Of the Circuits
or Registers OF. Wills in Maryland
have to puzzle over illegible sigma
lures on documents offered for record
ing.
A law passed by the last Legislature
which became effective June l, re-
quires that persons offering docu-
ments for record "shall cause the
name or names of every person, firm
or corporation attached to said doc
ument or instrument to be typed OF
printed directly above or below the
signature of said persons, firms or
corporations"
And the law has teeth in it, too, no.
tees in the Clerks and Registers
office warn:
"For failure to comply with the re-
quirements of this section, the clerk
is required to charge an extra fee or
charge of one dollar" the notices say.

COUNCIL ENDEAVORING TO
HAVE INSURANCERATECUT
improvements In Water System
Expected To Result FavOrabIy

An attempt to have the fire insur-
ance rates again reduced in Oakland
is being made by the Mayor and Town
Council through Henry w. McComas,
Jr., chairman of the Water Commit
tee of Council.
Councilman McComas recently was
in correspondence with Carlyle II.
Hill, manager of the Middle Depart
ment Rating Association, Philadel-
phia, stating that the Council had
completed the connection Of water
mains on Third street which gave that
part of the town east of Second street
a guarantee of water should the main
on Second street leading from the res
ervoir be put out of commission by
breakage or otherwise. Previously a
break in the Second street main would
have entirely cut off the supply Of
water from any part Of the town east
of Second street.
In reply the insurance companies
representative stated that he was az
ranging to have one of his engineers
conduct a resurvey of the town just as
soon as current work would permit,
and that upon receipt of the engineers
report the town officials would be adj
vised as to results of the survey and
whether or not it would result in re-
duction of the fire insurance rates.
The rate, which was reduced year
or so ago because of improvements
made in the water system here, is now
20 cents per hundred on dwellings and
SO cents per hundred on the contents.
Any reduction in the insurance rate
would benefit materially any person
who carries fire insurance either on his
property or on its contents.

SEARCH STILL CONTINUES
FOR ELLWOOD HINEBAUCH
Change In Story Of Youth Who
Took Him To Lake Points To
Fact That He Jumped From
Glendale Bridge

County authorities and relatives Of
Ellwood limbaugh are still in the
dark as to his whereabouts following
week of intense investigation and
search, although indications point
more strongly to the fact that he may
have taken his life by Jumping from
Glendale bridge into Deep Greek
Lake.
Placed under intense questioning,
Paul Jordan, who reported last week
that he had driven limbaugh to Cabin
Lodge on Thursday night, June 7, told
different story to Neil C. Fraley,
States Attorney.
Jordan now admits that he drove
limbaugh to Glendale Bridge where
he (Hinebaugh) asked that the car be
stopped and alighted on the bridge.
Jordan then returned to Oakland. This
story was corroborated by Corporal
Thomas Currie of the State Police, and
Clarence Spear, deputy sheriff, who
were en- route to Meadow Mountain
CCC camp about that time and re-
member passing a car just few hun
bred feet west of the bridge. When
the two officers crossed over the
bridge a moment or two later, there
was no trace of limbaugh or anyone
on the bridge, Corporal Currie said.
Jordan is still being detained by coun-
ty authorities until there are further
developments.
This turn of events has led authori-
ties to believe that limbaugh really
did jump from the bridge, as he was
reported to have threatened several
times to do. Prior to his disappearance
he had been greatly depressed and
melancholy for some time and had
been suffering intense pain as the re-
suit of sinus infection.
A large number of people have con-
tinued to search in the vicinity of
Glendale bridge and up and down the
Lake. The State boat as we'll as
number motor boats and row boats
manned by local fremen, with Crap
ping hooks have also been used but
up to this hour no trace has been
discovered of the missing.

Relief Expenditures Were Less
During Month Of May

Maryland's relief expenditures last
month, $748,181, were the lowest this
year, the State Department of Public
Welfare reported, but that the reduc-
ton resulted chiefly from shortage
of direct-relief funds in Baltimore,
which necessitated the dropping of a
number Of cases.
Of the four classes of relief only the
expenditures for the old-age assista-
ance program increased, The aged re-
ceived $312,S62 last month; dependent
children, S24O,710; needy blind, S13,-
GIT.
For the four types of assistance, ex-
penditures in Garrett county in May
were $11,362. The direct relief eXpeH-
diture in Garrett county was $1,161.
The Public Welfare Board also an
nounced that food and clothing valued
at S86,975 had been distributed in the
State last month. The articles were
made available through surplus COM
modities.

Today Is First Day Of Summer
And Longest Day Of Year

Today is, the longest day of the year
and the first day of summer, according
to the World Almanac.
The sun rose today in Oakland at
4:4O and will set at 1928, after having
furnished fourteen hours and forty
three minutes of daylight.
Summer officially came in at 2:4o
this morning when the sun reached the
summer solstice-the point in the
ecliptic at which it is farthest from the
equator.
To the people of this section today
was just another rainy day on the
weeks schedule. 1t hasn't failed any
day this week, and Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday provided PIP inches OF
rainfall. Already this month, accord
ing to the government record at the
Weber station, there has been more
than 7 inches of rainfall. That amount
is about twice as much as normal.
