F. B. /. Speaker And
Judge Woodward To
Address Boys Club

L. Fletcher Schott, president of
the Board of Directors Of the
Rockville Boys Club, announces
he has obtained from Director
j. Edgar Hoover of the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation a speaker
for the Boys Club party on
March IS. The speaker will he
Mr.. w. "A. Murphy, one of Mr..
Hoover's administrative assist
ants. In addition to Mr.. Murphy,
Judge Charles Woodward of Rock
vile has accepted an invitation to
speak at this party. The party
will be given in the cafeteria of
the Richard Montgomery High
School.
The Boys Club under the direc-
ton of Ralph Keller, the Boys
Club leader, has been devoting a
major portion of it's time to the
smaller boys of Rockville. Some
of the needs of the Boys Club
which Mr.. Schott suggests as a
further program are a permanent
meeting place, shop where the
boys may work with tools, read
ing room and game room for
non-athletic games. Probably a
full time director will be re-
quired before such an extensive
program can be furthered in the

County Dairymen
Incensed Over
Boiler Inspection
Examination Fee Termed
ExOrbitant. Bill Affects
$50 Milk Producers


Montgomery County dairymen
this week were up in arms against
the boiler inspections now in pro-
gress here. The inspections were
authorized by the enactment of
House Bill No. 276 at the last ses-
sion of the Maryland State Legis-
lature.
Chief complaint of the dairy
mems groups was aimed at the fees
charged for the inspections. De-
signed to create compulsory in
spection of all boilers, particularly
those used by dairymen in accord
ance with health regulations, the
bill provides specifically for an in
spection fee of not less than a
total of $11, plus 81 for certifica-
ton, and maximum fee of 500,
provided the boiler is adjudged
second hand. In addition, travelling
expenses, ito accrue from the Bal
timore Inspection Office to place of
business at the rate of five cents
per mile," are char red.
Various groups of dairymen of
the county, $50 of whom are af-
fected, complained of what they
termed can exorbitant fee" Off
cials of the Maryland Virginia
Milk Producers Association assert
ed that they would do all in their
power to have the bill amended, re-
voked or adjusted. Dairymen of
the Olney, Laytonsville, Pooles-
vile and Gaithersburg areas
termed the bill "the most atrocious
piece Of farm legislation ever en-
acted" a.
Charles c. Jones, Washington,
member of the House of Delegates
and owner of farm in the Pooles-
vile district, was chairman Of the
Montgomery County delegation at
Annapolis during the last Legisla-
ture. Mr.. Jones could not be
reached by phone at his Office to
comment on the Act, which origi-
mated in the house of delegates.
Fourteen counties were not in
Guided in the act, namely, Caroline,
Charles, Dorchester, Frederick,
Garrett, Hartford, Kent, Queen
Anne's, st. Mary's, Somerset, Tai
bot, Washington, Worcester and

Friends Wonder
Why Mayor May
Aid Howard Bruce
Tydings Is Answer, Politi-
cal Insiders Declare
(Reprimted from Baltimore
NeaOs-Post Feb. 28)
BY JAMES A. NEWELL

BY JAMES A. NEWELL
Some of Mayor Jackson's nom
political friends can't understand
why he is even considering the
possibility Of lining up with Ma
tional Committeeman Howard
Bruce as against Senator George
L. Radcliffe in the current Demo-
cratic Senatorial setto.
These friends see in Bruce the
man who made hash of Jackson's
hopes of being elected Governor
in 1888. Supporting Bruce they
see William Curran, Jackson's in
veterate foe. Also supporting
Bruce they see Governor O'Conor,
who backed by Bruce and Curran
downed jackson in the 1888 pri-
mary.
Seeing all this, these non-politi-
cal friends of Jackson wonder why
he is giving a second thought to
joining the camp of his enemies.
The answer, according to the
jackson political insiders, is Mil
lard Tydings.
Close-to-the-Mayor sources saw
that the senior Senator, who is
backing his junior colleague in this
campaign twice upset the Jackson
for-Governor applicant, and may
do it again.
Their version which, be it re-
membered, is ex parte, may be con-
densed as follows:
That Tydings, seeking stop
Richie candidate in 1884, sought
jackson as the man to do the Job.
That later, an Eastern Shore group
proposed Radcliffe as the most
available governorship challenger.
That Radcliffe, with the Shores 81
convention votes to begin with,
made greater show of strength
than the Baltimore Mayor in Tyd-
lngs' opinion and that the Senator
grew cold towards the Jackson
candidacy.
That with three stop Richie can
didates- DIR. Charles H. Conley of
Frederick; Jackson and Radcliffe
in the field-Tydings feared that
the Richie opposition would be too
much split to be effective.
That, "being in a spot" Tydings
turned to his Western Maryland
friends, the old Richie crowd, now
supporting Bruce, and got them to
prevail on Richie to accept Rad
cliffe as a Senatorial contender,
Radcliffe getting out of the gov
ernorship fight.
This left Conley and Jackson as
Richie challengers and Jackson,
seeing little change of success I'M
der the changed conditions, with
drew, leaving the Frederick county
doctor to make his sensational
fight against the four-time Gov
ernor.

MONTGOMERY
Nl SIDELICHTS
~ ELSIE WHITE HAINEs

We spent every possible moment
last week with a charming English
woman who was visiting for a few
days in our quiet town - woman
from what she spoke of as the
professional class (clawss) whose
people had been physicians for
generations - never before had
we realized how class bound the
English are - we can now believe
the story of an Englishman dress
ing for dinner even when in a
Jungle, because he had always
dressed for dinner, and we can see
how slim are our Wally's chances
of ever being zone of them.
From her we learned much of
English country village life-also
we got better understanding Of
the evacuation of the slum children
- ten thousand of whom were sent
from London to the area in which
this Englishwoman has her home
we also gathered that perhaps
few bombs would do less damage
than children from the dregs of
life suddenly transported to such
different environment.
Belonging to the class which
must have at least a nursemaid
and cook, our village life was a
revelation to her = the convent
ences in our kitchens astounded
her - Southern hospitality over
whelmed her - and we think she
was left speechless by the fact that
some of US do most of the house
work, and perhaps with aid of
washer and mangle - the family
laundry = then lunch and play
contract all afternoon with the
DOCTORS wife who keeps two ser
wants, and perhaps, the lady from
the country estate which borders
the village, who was guest last
summer at the garden party for
the Queen!
Married to an American = her
children are Americans, though
they have never lived here = and
it amused us when she spoke of
putting them in a Northern public
school as soon as they could under
stand the language.
1t was famous, busy bishop of
the Church of England, whom we
met years ago when he visited st.
Adams who startled us by saying
II never do anything today that /
can put off until tomorrow - l
never do anything I can leave for
someone else to do"
p Having been taught to edo it
now" and "never put things off
until tomorrow" and that the Span
ish "manana" was a sin = you can
imagine our open-mouthed amaze
ment!
He explained "By leaving until
tomorrow the things that can wait
until tomorrow, have more time
to do those things that must be
done today - by never doing any
thing / can get some one else to
do, I have more time to do the
things no one else can do"
Good philosophy for the strong
minded - but a mans philosophy
~ surely not housewives = we
have tried it on busting and dish
washing = two things we abhor--
with the result that it took twice
as. long the next day. Seriously
there are many things that never
need to be done at all, if We just
leave them until tomorrow - but
who knows TODAY which they are
