A typewriter, to Miss Viola Bud

ment stenographer and typist, is
much more than just a medium for
turning out word alignments. To
her, it is just brush and easel.
She has lifted the machine from
the world of mere business to that
of art, using it to turn out por-
traits, landscapes and stil-nfe in
colors.
The pictures which Miss Budnick
makes are designated by her as
"type-o-graphs' and she taps them
out with the index finger of her
right hand, using the *" almost

her productions are roses, portrait

Two Counties Plan
To Re-Survey Boundary

By the Associated Press.
FREDERICK, Md. Aug. 19.-The
Frederick Washington County line,
winding go miles over South Noun
tain, may be resurveyed at some OBJ
scure spots in order to redefine the
county borders more clearly.
The border question was brought
before commissioners of the two
counties when they met here earlier
In the week to discuss roads.
There are border marks on the
national highway, the Gapland and
Harpers Ferry roads and others, but
other roads, including the new dual
highway, have no border markers.
Definite marking of the boundary
line on all roads would eliminate
possible complications in investiga-
tion of highway accidents. Hearings
must be held in the county where
the accident occurs and vague
county line would cause questions

From Department of State)
EARL GRIFFITH, Secretary

The London Prison Farm has been
under investigation by the State
Welfare Department officials for the
past month. Warden Jenkins is
expected to resign when his leave Of
absence has expired.
Under q new state law which be-
came effective on September 6, liens
against old age pensioners real es-
tate, which the state has had power
to take under the pension law since
it went into effect nearly six years
ago, are abolished. Under the old
law, the state could take lien on
real estate as a means of reimpurse-
ment for pension grants. Pension
ers protested on the ground ,nae
thrifty persons, who had saved
, enough to buy their own homes,
were penalized by being forced to
give the state lien when accepting
,, pensions.
The separation of the new civil
service bill scheduled to become eff
fective September was suspended
when referendum petitions were fill
ed on September 5 with Secretary of
State Earl Griffith. The petitions
contained approximately 100000
signatures, about 5000 more than
required to place the proposal on

fication befpte being 1ccdpted as

BY BARBEE VIM. DURHAM

COLUMBUS-At last the long
awaited for and much sanght fem
mime revival of Horatio Algier has
been uncovered. This came about a
few days ago when it was learned
that the degree Of MA. in Sociolo-
gy was conferred upon Mrs. Mar
garet Clark Oakfield, by Ohio State
University at its summer quarter
conyocation which was held last
Friday, S eptember 1st. This in IT
self is not a. all out of the ordinary,
but wait until you hear her story
Mrs. Oakfields college career be-
gan in the fall Of 1925 when she
enrolled in the College of Pharfn-
acy at Ohio State, after having COM
nlated high school in a record time
and at the early age of ID. In Mar.
of her freshman year she married
r. Il. Oakfield. Another event OF
great moment which occurred during
that same year, and, which sadden-
ed the remainder of it, was the death
of her mother, Mrs. Julia Henrietta
Clark. Following this, she and her
husband went to Chicago, where she
attended Chicago University for q
wear. The next three years the
young couple spent in different cities
work took him.
When the depression struck, they
returned to Columbus to start
housekeeping. In 1882 the desire
for higher education again descend
ea upon Mrs. Oakfield and she re-
enrolled in the College Of Pharmacy
at O.s.U.

ences Mrs. Oakfield says, zone Of the

Her Thesis for her BIS. in Pharm.
is entitled, "The Negro Pharmacist

Negro Pharmacist and Physician in
Columbus, Ohio" as her subject.
Both are very informing.
AS to the future, Mrs. Oakfield
says that her plans have not under
gone final recrystallization. She is
! planning to study for the next State
Examination or Registered Pharm-
acists which is to be given in Oc-
tober, and then probably start work
ing on her doctorate in Bacteriology
or Sociology. As to which field she
likes the better, Mrs. Oakfeld says

Six hundred and fifty summer
graduates were in the class gwen
diplomas at Ohio State University
on September 1.
1t is estimated there are 10000
among the 2,655,000 Ohioans listed
under the federal Socisi. Security
Act who will begin to receive old
age insurance checks in 1910.
Amendments to the Act, passed by
the last Congress, advanced the
time for beginning payments and
provided more liberal allowance
for persons qualifying for benefits.
First recipients will have reached
the age of 65, or WHY reach it dur
ing 1910, and they must have been
employed one-half of the time since
1886. The checks will average
about $4,000 for married men with
wives over 65 and about $4,000 for
single men or men whose wives are
under 65.
