Maryland couldn't stop George

to give a couple of thousand fans a
good look at North Cardinals smooth

The Terps had special orders to
keep Glamack covered and while
they were trailing the lanky hook
shot artist a couple of gents by the
name of Bob Rose and Jimmy
Howard slipped through and stole
the basket ball game. The final
figures were 55-36. 1t was Mary
lands ninth consecutive setback this
season without game to its credit.
To Jack Gilmore, a rookie, and
Bob Fetters went the job of keeping
Glamack down to earth and they
did a good job, holding him to 10
points. Fetters trailed him as closely
as a process server. hurried Georges
overhead shots and generally har-
assed him, but while all this was
going on, Messrs. Rose and Howard
were running of with the bacon.
Maryland, never in front, closed
the gap between the teams to 21-16
near the end of the first half, but
Carolina stepped on the gas and
made it 28-16 at the whistle.
The conference champions had
things pretty much their own way

CLEVELAND, Jan. 25.-A post

The controversy scarcely was cold

from an "unimpeachable source"
that Feller would be paid this sum
for next seasons work on the mound.
For two days after the 22-year-

Tigers, asserted next day that

WHEAT FARMERS ORGANIZING

Formation of the Pennsylvania
Farmers Organization at Hershey
at a mass meeting of wheat growers
for the purpose of working for re-
peal of the Agricultural Adjustment
Act under which wheat quotas were
established on the 1941 crop, has al
ready gained nationwide attention.
Contracts have been made with the
temporary headquarters of the new
organization established in Harris
burg by many of the farmers groups
formed in Is other states for the
same purpose to procure inf0rma-
ton to proceed along similar lines
and affect statewide organizations
of wheat growers.
Definite plans of procedure for at
tainment of the detectives for which
the farmers organized will be adopt
ed and promoted by the executive
committee. Among the efforts to be
made will be to establish working
committees of the central organiza-
ton in every county Of the State
through which the purposes of the
organization as well as full informa-
ton about the effects of the present
law upon the State as a whole will
be brought before all the people of
Pennsylvania.

Tough Meat Made Tender

Tough beef can be made as tender
and fresh as new mown hay, scien-
lists say. All one needs is violet
ray machine. The Food foundation
Of Mellon institute has announced
that fresh beef, if exposed to ultra
violet rays for three days, will be
as tender as meat hung in refrig-
Grating plant for eight weeks. 1t
was only after years Of experimental
ton that this tenderizing process
was discovered, the Food foundation
has announced. The new method
can be applied also to mutton and
to fowls, for there is tough mutton
and tough chicken under present
conditions and these can be made
more palatable. Another advantage
of this violet ray treatment on meat
is that it actually kills any bacteria
which might have been in the beef,
the scientists say. The day may
soon come when the ultraviolet ray
treatment may be enlarged to in
clude many other foods in which the
growth of bacteria is suspected or
possible.

WouId Aid Nature Loyers

National recreation leaders who
have been busy organizing games
In city parks for peoples leisure
time are placing more emphasis this
year on appreciation Of natural
beauty in the out-of-doors, v. K.
Brown, president Of the Midwest In
stitute Of Park Executives, told a
conference on nature recreation and
education recently.
It appears that the new leisure
time has sent people to parks to ask
officials to map out more softball
diamonds, more cricket fields, more
tennis courts. The whole movement
of organizing people into teams and
tournaments for various kinds of or
ganized play has gathered such mo-
mentum, recreation leaders point
out, that some of the good old-fash-
toned enjoyment Of the out-of-doors
has been pushed to the background.
AS some of the speakers ex-
pressed it at the conference, the ex-
tension of playields in some cases
has shut out the man who just wants
to be quiet and observe the trees,
flowers, birds, squirrels, and take
in q little sunshine. Extended
beaches, for instance, have cut off
the view of the people who just want
to leisurely sit and watch the waves
roll in.

CANNING FOR DEFENSE

the Women's Division, Maryland
Council of Defense has launched a
campaign on canning fruits and
vegetables.
Mrs. John L. Whitehurst, Chair
man of the Women's Division said:

lectees were turned down due to
malnutrition it is time for the wom-
en- of the country to do something

vision has taken for its slogan DE
Tense Begins in the Kitchen.
"There is a definite shortage in
cheese and tomatoes in this country.
In addition, England needs cheese
due to the scarcity and high cost of
meat.
Women should can tomatoes so
that the Gamers could send more
tomatoes to England.
Mrs. Bartlett Johnston, Chairman,
Conservation Committee of the
Women's Division of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense, says: 1.-THE women
of Maryland should start classes
and competitions in canning, drying
and preserving. Get into the front
line trenches if you are real Amer
icns. Our Gamers were asked to can
500 more tomatoes this year. Every
can of tomatoes you can in your own
home will mean an extra can may
be shipped to England.

Youths Under Fl Commit
375 Murders Last Year

Juveniles continue to comprise a
large portion of the criminal ele-
ment in the United States, according
to a survey by the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, based upon records
received in its Identification division
from law enforcement agencies
throughout the country.
One out Of every three persons ar
rested for robbery was under Il
years of age, while one out of every
two persons who committed burgla-
ry had not reached his majority.
More than one-haf of all auto thefts
were committed by juveniles.
More persons 10 years Of age were
arrested than any other single age
group, a condition also prevailing
from 1882 until the middle of 1885
and again in the year 1899. From
the middle of 1885 through 1888 ages
81, %, and % were most frequently
represented. Ages 81 and q ranked
next in order of frequency to age
10 for the first six months Of this
year.
The seriousness Of the juvenile
crime problem is emphasized by the
statistics released by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation indicating
that during the first six months of
1910, 375 persons less than 81 years
Of age were charged with murder or
manslaughter, 1854 with robbery,
1,796 with assault, 1928 with bur-
glary, and 14,685 with larceny and

KEEP WOOD DRY TO PREVENT
WARP

Bulged table tops, sticking wood
en- drawers, and warped ironing
boards are familiar household prob
lens in summer. Wood experts of
the Forest Service of the U. 8. De-
partment of Agriculture explain
that, i'm hot humid weather, raw
wood sweils from absorbing mois-
ture from the air. To help prevent
this trouble. close the pores of the
wood with a coat of varnish, or 9th
er moisture-resistan finish while
the wood Is dry--it isn't job for a
rainy day. Apply spar varnish to all
sides of drawers inside and out and
to the underside of tables that have
been left unfinished. Wooden iron
ing boards are especially likely to
warp from the acknowledgements
by the heat of ironing. Cover all
sides of the well dried board with
phenolic resin varnish before pad
ding.

Imaginary Friends Are
Harmful to Children

Better take chance on f1esh-and-
blood playmates for your child than
on the imaginary companions with
which a child is capable of "peo-
ping" his new and small world,
counsels Miss Alva Anne Owen, au-
thority on child development and
parent education, University Of Illi-
nois college of agriculture.
Although there are still some par
ents who feel that the neighbours
children are not desirable compan-
ions, the imagination, a desirable
characteristic in any child, can be
carried to an extreme wherein the
child prefers to play with himself
and does not reap the benefit of con-
facts with other. children, Miss Owen
reports.
ALI children need to play with chill
dren who are younger, of the same
age and older, so as to learn how to
lead and direct others, learn equal
competition and learn what it is to
be inferior and yet be all right.
The guilty feeling which child is
likely to acquire if he does not seem
to be able to be spontaneous and
natural and at the same time come
up to family standards is product
of the over-zealous intentions Of par
ents, Miss Owen says. The higher
the standards of the family, usually
the harder it is for them to accept
their mistakes.

If you are considering a change
of curtains for any room in your
house, it is well to see that your
choice is in keeping with the char
acter of the room. With or without
draperies, ruff1ed curtains give a
pleasant look to an informal room.
Tailored curtains of rayon or cotton
will cut out unpleasant views and
present a simple, dignified appear
ance. With few exceptions, these
should be used with overdraperies.
Length is merely a matter of
choice. Your curtains may extend
to the window sill, the apron be-
meath the sill, the top of the base
board or the floor.
Tailored curtains of sheer materi-
ais will hang in more graceful
folds if they are at least twice the
width of the window. Cottage sets,
straight curtains for the lower half
of the window and tie-back drap-
cries for the upper half, are most
attractive in kitchens and bath
rooms.
