But Don't Hurry
Undoubtedly the ;dunapy little,

Parents, however, should not try
to rush things in these cases by
resorting to pituitary gland injec-
tions. There are plenty of plump

over these, but in the great major

In many cases of overdevelop-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

P. J. M.-"Can you give me any
information concerning the cause
of leg cramps during the night"
Answer-Cramps in the legs
may be due to spasm of the ar
teries (called intermittent claudi-
cation) but these usually come on
after exercise. Cramps at night
sound like muscular cramps which
are harmless and are best treated
by leaving them alone. Cramps
due to arterial spasm should be
treated with exercises, raising and
lowering the limb, and intermit-
tent pressure, with a blood pres
sure bag, but in any case, l think
cramps in the legs in a middle
aged person call for medical con-
sultation.

MARYLAND MERRy-GO-ROUND-
DREW PEARSON ----

Washington, d. c., Dec. 20 -
With Great Britain desperately
anxious to buy old World War U.
S. Shipping Board vessels, and
with the ship yards of the entire
nation working overtime to turn
out new bottoms, administration
officials are more than ever re-
gretful that they permitted Sen
ator Tydings, to lobby some eighty
old ships out of government hands
for his friend, Aaron Shapiro CT
the Boston Iron and Metal Co.
The British Government is now
buying up all of these old vessels
it can find. including those tied
up in the James River, Virgin n.
and another fleet tied up at New
Orleans.
However, the Government once
had fleet of 124 vessels which on
November 5, 1882, just two days
:etore the defeat of Herbert Hoo
yer, were sold to Aaron Shapiro's
firm for the amazingly low figure
IF $1.51 per ton.
Shortly thereafter, when the
Roosevelt administration came
into office. it inquired into this deal.
One hundred and twenty-four ships
is a lot of vessels to be sold to
one company in one fell swoop
and the Hoover Administration
was notorious for playing into the
hands of business.
So Secretary Of Commerce Ro-
per suspended further sale, and
investigated. He found that the
ships had been valued by the
Harding Administration at SILL
100000 but the Baltimore firm
was getting them for only 100000.
Furthermore, the price of $1.51
was ridiculously low in view Of
the price then being paid for scrap
! iron - s13.75.

By DREW PEARSON

When Roper held up the sale
Senator Tydings protested vigor-
ously. Thirty-five vessels had al
ready been delivered before Roper
interviewed and Tydings demanded
that the balance be released to Mr..
Shapiro's scrap iron firm imme-
diately. The Navy, on the con-
trary, backed Secretary Roper and
said that these vessels might be
needed in time of emergency.
Apparently, it mattered not to
Tydings that the ships were being
sold to Japan and that Japan was
already on the rampage in North
China. He kept after the Com
merce Department until finally an
additional forty-five vessels were
released to the Shapiro firm. The
balance - IA ships - fortunately
were kept and have been Of great
aid to the nation and to Great
Britain in the present emergency.
However, Senator Tydings only
last year introduced a bill in the
Senate whereby the firm of his
friend, Mr.. Shiparo, would be per-
mitted to sue the United States
for damages for it's failure to de-
liver all of these merchant vessels.
ROUND THE FREE STATE
Back in 1882, DR.. Wade Hampton
Bragg, Gaithersburg druggist,
made this prophecy: IF this man
Roosevelt beats Hoover, he will

Local merchants as a rule pre-

the past week telegraph offices
have been bombarded with mes
sages to manufacturers all re-
questing additional stock to re-
place those quickly bought by the
shoppers. AS a result the manu-
facturers throughout the Nation
have been compelled to work over
time in filling last-minute orders.
This is also true of those cOmpan-
les in Hagerstown manufacturing
articles for the Christmas trade,
and would also indicate that bust
ness is improved generally in all
sections of the country.

labor which at one time before his
reelection was plenty low. Even
his former chief antagonist, John
T. Jones, head of Labor's Non-Par-
tisan League. is less partisan
about Bill than previously. Sen
ator Radcliffe is having a tough
time making up his mind whether
it was he or President Roosevelt
who really carried the State for
the party. At recent social
gathering, the Senator slyly point
ed out that his majority was
greater than that given the
President. But this, he quickly
explained, should not indicate he
is not a Roosevelt fan.
THE NEW BRIDGE
The opening of the Potomac
River Bridge between Morgantown,
Md, and Dahlgren, Va, was very
festive ceremony. Almost every
one who amounted to anything in
the State, was there - except for
the three men who probably were
chiefly responsible in the end for
the bridge.
They are: Senator Tydings,
who was only indirectly respon-
sible; ex-Congressman Davey
Lewis, who was the center of the
famous Senate primary of 1888,
and Harry Nice, the man who
really talked Roosevelt into build
ing the span.
AS a matter of fact, Tydings ac-
tually poked all sorts Of ridicule
upon the bridge idea when he was
running against Lewis in 1888.
And it is not unlikely that the
President himself came down to
Morgantown with his tongue in
his cheek regarding the immediate
need Of such bridge.
