mother asked if there is a serum or
special problems" Mrs. Dorothy Og-
burn, executive secretary, said the
Board was interested in hearing de-
tails involved in determining whether
a home be considered as an adoption
home.
In discussing the new plan for
distribution of commodities, Mrs. Og-
burn announced that beginning Oct.
1 commodities may be received only
by families who are receiving cash
from the Welfare office, due to a
State Department regulation. Pre-
viously many families in the county
received commodities only when their
need for the same was proved by the
Welfare office, Mrs. Ogburn said.
Commodities include foods such as
flour, meal, beans and dried fruit,
with other articles occasionally in
cluded. Clothing made in the two
sewing rooms at Kitzmiller and Oak
land by WPA workers are also coun-
ted commodities.
Three cases for Old Age Assistance
were found eligible and one ineligible.
One case for Aid to Dependent Chill

START RESTORATION OF
OLD SENATE CHAMBER

Restoration of historic treasures
of the State House at Annapolis
has gotten under way in the old
Senate Chamber. work on which
was begun Monday. The work is
being done under direction of the
Maryland Historical Society, which
was empowered by the Legislature
under the previous Administered
to supervise the restoration
The first phase is the replace
ment of the present floor by a
"hit-and-miss" pattern pine floor
which research showed was the
type of floor in the Chamber dur
ing Colonial days. AS rapidly as
possible, following the completion
of this work, necessary painting
and re-decorating to restore the
Colonial charm of the room will be
done, after which the final touches
will be added in the way of replicas
of the original furniture. When
this is completed, the room will be
a true duplicate of the old Cham
Der in which the early Continental
Congress assembled, and in which
General Washington resigned his
commission.

My selections from IS years Of

Neither was anything like great

as the Hitless Wonders. Their team
batting average was around .223.
They foundered most Of the year,

THE most strident voice of box

it was warming up to one Of its
greatest efforts in behalf Of the Tony
Galento-Max Baer fight.
The voice belonged to Joe Jacobs,

into . colorful, important position
In the boxing game.
The extremely voluble little man.
ager, a well-known figure among
Broadway sporting circles, died at
the age of A, victim of heart at
tack.
Jacobs inaugurated his ring ca
reer at a tender age. The son of a
tailor, he came from tough He'll S
Kitchen on New York's West Side.
He wanted to be a fighter, but soon
learned the futility of absorbing pun
ishment when one might just as well
get paid for shouting advice. In
fact, 1t was said he actually had
fighters on his pay roll before he
got out of high school.

Though his fighters brought him
both cash and glory, Jacobs chief
claim to fame was his mequalled
ability to think fast and play all the

his own. He was a sharper among

ship. In June, 1880, Jacobs reached
the zenith Of his career.
Schmeling and Jack Sharkey were
meeting to decide the championship
vacated by Gene Tunney. First
"Yussel the Muscle" set up a pre-
fight cry about the nine times Shark
ey had won by fouls or had claimed
fouls.
The Schmeling Victory
In the first three rounds Of the
fight Sharkey seemed to have the
situation well in hand. But in the
fourth round Sharkey cut loose with
one blow, quickly followed by an
uppercut. The German went down,
holding his groin.
Referee Jim Crowley was getting
ready to count when Jacobs, with
the inevitable cigar in his mouth,
crawled through the ropes and
screamed:
"Stay down! Fsul! Yea wuz
fouled!"
Echmeling obeyed his masters
voice, and thus became the first
heavyweight 10 win the title while
resting ON his back.
Perhaps his most masterful job
was done with Tony Galento, the
Orange, N. J., saloonkeeper. Jacobs
prodded Galento, a roly-poly, catch
as-catch-can brawler, into the status
Of q national rowdy and heavyweight
threat.
Galento was one Of Jacobs favo-
rites. The boisterous, staggering
barkeep was a natural for '"Yussel
the Muscles" ballyhoo talents. Tony
was considered a washed-up fourth
rater, but under Jacobs guiding
hand he fought his way into . title
bout with Joe Louis. Galento lost
the fight but startled the boxing
world with his showing.
Because Of his managers death,
the blubbery Galento insisted on
postponing his fight with Baer from
May % to July 2. Without his man.

NEED Of ALLEY
PAVING ARGUED

Its q good alley; it doesn't

in rainy weather, you need a
pair of hip boots to get through

Such were the conflicting views
presented to the council Tuesday
by property owners along the alley
running from 9Th ave. to It'll St,
between NJ and Sheridan ave.
The discussion arose in the pub
lie hearing on a local improvement
district proposed for paving the
alley at an estimated cost of

Two speakers were heard on
each side of the question after
which the council agreed to post
pone action until next Monday.
Mason, owner of a couple of lots,
to try to persuade some Of the Pc
tition signers they should with
draw their names.
Mason and A. w. Carlson pro-
tested the improvement; there
were several other remonstrances
in letters and postcards. But there
still was a majority petition fol
the paving. Charles Eisenbachei
and Robert Tone urged immediate
action be taken on the grounds
the paving had been discussed fol
three years and that everybody
had had a chance to protest if they
wanted to.
