Attention 10 Resume
Feud With WhHIy
In Big Stakes
Trovers, American Derby
Are Expected TO Lure

Ry the Assoc1ated Pres.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. July 28-The feud be-
tween Whirlawsy, the sure thing,
and Attention, the unknown. is just
in its infancy.
Attention, unheralded entry of
Mrs. Parker Corning of Albany.
N. Y. startled the country's turf
fans with an impressive victory over
the great Whirlaway Saturday in
the Arlington ClaSSc-faVorite event
of long shots.
Attention was magnificent in
whipping Warren Wrights triple
crown winner with game stretch
drive, but the triumph left Trainer
Max HirSch with huge assignment
for the remainder of the big stakes
season.
Both Eligible for Travers.
Both horses are eligible for the
TraverS Stake at Saratoga August
Is and at the American Derby at
Washington Park here week later.
Hirsch said after SATURDAYS race
that Attention. when in form is as
fast as Whirlaway and Mrs. Corn
ings horse proved it Saturday as
Whirlaway tried in vain to catch
him.
But whether HTsch's pet can take
the measure of the Kentucky Derby
Preakness-B Belmont winner again is
the big question. II Attention again
can beat Whirly, then the Classic
victory cannot be discounted AS a
fuke HirSch insists the, horse had
the stuff all the time, but that a
hin injury as a Juvenile retarded
Attentions training and prevented
his appearance in the major events
of spring and early summer. He
points out that Attention whipped
Whirlaway several times as q
year-old.
Blow to Shelhamer.
Even more disappointed at Whlrl-
away's defeat in the 100000 Classic
than Owner Wright and Trainer
Ben Jones was little Alfred Shell
hamer, the 23-year-old Jockey get
ting his first chance in big-time
race aboard the top horse. But the
youngster gave the chestnut colt a
true ride and had him on Attention s
heels as they hit the stretch, but
Whirlaway could not match Atten-
tion's sprint.
Trainer Hirsch has pulled big stake
winners out of a hat before. He
won the American Derby in 1882
with a rank outsider, Gusto. -Four
years later Hirsch took Bold Ven
ture to. the Kentucky Derby and
whipped Brevity, topheavv favorite,
and did it with an apprentice boy

Both types of vehicles will be
tested in Army maneuvers this
summer. Engineers said design of
the blitz buggy may be changed
slightly to permit it to draw 81
millimeter cannon. Automobile men
say they can take such design
changes, whether in combat cars,
tanks or airplane engines, in their
stride with little or no loss in pro-
duction.
Every piece of thar tank is diff
ferent from what it was when we
started getting the blueprints," said
K. T. Keller, president of Chrysler,
as he walked through the 10-square-
block tank arsenal he is building to
make twelve 28-ton tanks a day.
But we can't kick about that.
Every change was made because it
would make the tank a better-f fight

A former Pennsylvania hardware
clerk with square hands, square

Keller is more interested right now
in workin gout new ways to make
things than in invention of new
weapons. His engineers main con-
eern Is mass production methods for
anti-aircraft guns. tanks, bomber
sections, field kitchens and bomb

Mr.. Keller praised the work of
Army engineers who designed the
new tank.
They gave us 1876 pounds of blue
prints" he said, "and the biggest
surprise I ever had was when they
worked. That doesn't always hap
pen even in civil industry"
The Importance of blueprints is
shown by the experience of the New
port News, Va, Shipbuilding and
Drydock Co., in converting merchant
vessels into escort aircraft carriers,

BUSINESS MEMS
ASSOCIATION
HOLDS MEETING
Makes Recommendations AS To
Parking Restrictions And
Also AS To Street Work
M. BOGASH is GUEST
OF THE ASSOCIATION

At meeting of the Pocomoke City
Business Mems Association, held on
Friday evening of last week, several
actions were taken looking toward the
betterment of civic conditions, and
looking chiefly to a settlement, as far
as possible, Of the difficult parking
problem.
Having received information that
the city authorities had under dis
cussion the purchase of the lot, corner
Front and Bridge Streets, said lot to
be used as parking space, the Associa-
ton adopted resolution favoring the
purchase and agreeing to pay $4,000
on the purchase price, which is re-
ported to be $500. It is estimated
that this lot will take care of, at least
100 cars, and thereby relieve much
congestion on the streets.
If this purchase is consummated,
another resolution recommended that
the parking on Market Street be ar
ranged longitudinally instead Of on an
angle, as at present. It is understood
that this change is in conformity with
the wishes of the State Roads Com
mission, and is connected with plans
now in the making of Shore Boule-
ward to connect with the 3-lane high
way now in construction by Virginia
which road will follow Route Is as il
now runs from Cape Charles to the
present point of contact with the Mary
land line.
Another resolution by the Associa.
ton recommended that the Mayor anc
Council should make one-way street
of Clarke Avenue from Linden Ave
nue. to the railroad, going west. and
a one-way street Of Second Street
from Linden Avenue to the railroad
going East. These streets are very
narrow, and while parking on both
sides would be allowed, there would
still be room for one car to proceed
whereas two cars would, in many
cases, cause a jam.
Still another resolution appealed tc
the State Roads Commission to pave
Cedar Street from the road, leading
to Virginia to 9Th Street, from which
intersection the street has been hard
surfaced. In case this were done all
truck traffic, north and south, would
be diverted to this route. Henry p

Of UndernOuriShment

The Miracle House, Maryland's
preventorium for undernourished
children, owned and operated by the
Maryland tuberculosis Association,
will close it's 23rd season Saturday,
August 80.
During the past Summer, 120 child
rem in contact with tuberculosis have
been patients at this institution where
their bodies have been built up in or
der to withstand their contact with
the disease.
Tuberculosis is a catching
disease, said w. B. Matthews, Man
aging Director of the Maryland Tu-
berculosis Association, "and one OF
our best defenses is strong, healthy
body. After children have received a
Summers treatment at the Miracle
House, they are better able to combat
the tuberculosis germ in their homes
eve are much gratified with the
results of this Summer and feel that
it is one of our most successful sea-
sons. We would like to take this op.
portunity to thank the various or.
CARNATIONS and individuals who have
made donations" Mr.. Matthews
continued.
The Miracle House is part of the
anti-tuberculosis control program o.
the Maryland tuberculosis Associa
ton which is supported by the annua
sale of Christmas Seals.
