MIRACLE HOUSE WILL
OPEN UP THIS SUMMER

The Claiborne Miracle House, a
tuberculosis preventorium for white
Maryland children, is preparing to
open it's doors this summer to ap-
proximately 125 children threatened
with future breakdowns from tuber-
culosis If nothing is done to prevent
it.
The official opening of the Miracle
House will be earlier than before
when a large delegation of children
will leave from Baltimore for the
Eastern Shore. This will mark the
beginning of the nineteenth season
in the preventorium's history. Dur
ing this time more than 1000 chill
dren have been entertained there.
Speaking of the Miracle House,
William B. Matthews, Managing Di-
rector of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association said: "The Miracle House
is for children who lived in contact
with tuberculosis and are in need
of strengthening so that they can eff
fectively fight against it. There
they are exposed to the most health
full conditions and receive careful and
considerable treatment. Every effort
is directed toward improving their
health and in teaching them how to
protect their health. "This service
is free to those who attend, being
made possible by the annual sale of
tuberculosis Christmas Seals. Every
thing that the children could possibly
need is furnished for them, including
the clothing. This places everyone
on an equal basis and also makes it
possible for those in the homes to
conserve their incomes for fighting
the disease at its source"

NATION DEFENSE
IS EXPEDITED BY
THE AUTOMOBILE

The tempo of the national defense
program would be much lower than it
is today had it not been for the fact
of widespread automobile ownership
among the working legions of Amer
lea, the American Automobile Asso-
citation declared.
The statement was made by Thos.
P. Henry, of Detroit, Mich, President
of the national motoring body, and
was based on reports from practical
ly every region of the country where
defense orders have called for in
creased employment.
"An acute shortage of housing IA
cilities and the lack of mass trans
portation to meet the labor require
ments of old plants expanded and
new plants constructed on purpose In
isolated areas, created a serious
problem witch the private passenger
car alone could meet" Mr.. Henry as
serted.
that at the present time hundreds of
thousands of skilled and unskilled
workmen are motoring as much as
seventy-five miles day to and from
factories of vital Importance in the
nations production scheme, while
thousands make a much longer daily
trip" Mr.. Henry said. He contin-
ued:
"For instance, take Bridgeport,
Connecticut, where we find that ZOO
employees in the expanding arms In
dustry commute by automobile from
homes within the limits of New York
City, requiring four hours of auto
mobile travel daily. In Quincy, Mas
sachusetts, many Of the new workers
employed in the shipbuilding yards
have their homes more than thirty
miles away, while some live as far as
sixty miles away.
"A new United States shell-loading
plant was purposely placed at Union
Center, Indiana, away from large
concentrations of population. The
5000 employees of the plant will be
drawn from scattered homes over
fifty-mile radius, with the private
automobile the only available means
Of transportation.
"Construction workers at Camp
Edwards on Cape Cod arrive at their
work daily in more than 1000 auto
mobiles from cities as far as sixty
miles away. There is, Of course, a
good deal of congestion on roads
that were unprepared for the extra
load but there is no substitute, as the
nearest railroad track is miles and
miles away.
"Kittery, Maine, has normal pop
ulation of less than 5000. It could
hardly be expected that such town
could take care of 1000 new civilian
workers who have secured jobs in the
Navy Yard during the past year.
However, the automobile is bringing
them from a wide area, including
Boston fifty-seven miles away.
"This use of the private passenger
car is most significant. Aide from
the Importance of mobility for work.
ers to the defense program, it has
the additional advantage of keeping
families together and, in all probab-
ility, of keeping household expendi-
lures lower"

Senator Tydings did not reveal

that he was afraid the price of the
land might be increased, therefore
it had best be purchased now.
Actually. it has been we'll known
for some time that the Naval School
was going to acquire more land for
recreational purposes, such a plan
having been recommended for some
years. Two plans have been pro-
posed, one a made-land project as
a result of pumping sand out Of

chase of land as proposed by Sena-

AS time draws ne rr for that
important meeting the Demo-
cratic State Central Committees,
called to name candidate for
Congress, local telephone opera
tors continue to ring the law Of
flee of William Preston Lane,
Democratic National Committee
man from Maryland. the Don
key Boys are putting pressure on
the Western Maryland leader
and judging from all reports,
there's no Iet-up. They're insist
ant that he run. And he's insist
ing that pressure of business
makes it difficult to decide.
The Democrats of Western
Maryland see an easy victory for
General Lane, and, more import
ant a most decisive victory. Then
too bang-up, expensive cam
paIgn would be unnecessary. He
could win, just like that!
With organized labor in Allie
gany County talking about an in
dependent ticket, and with Chas.
Stewart, probable COP candidate
leading the Elephant lads, the
business of selecting a strong
candidate to fill the vacancy
created by the death of "BiII"
Byron, is imperative. The can
didate must have personality, an
abundance of political sense, in
teIligence and an honest desire
to serve his State and Nation.
Lane has all of these, and it is
certainly no secret. That's why
the telephone continues to buzz
and keep his secretaries busy
saying "Yes, please" or some
thin.

Heading the list of those who
would like to succeed the popular
Congressman, is Mrs. Byron.
She has definitely stated that
she would like to continue the
work her husband started and
is gaining support. She has re-
reived hundreds of letters from
friends throughout the Sixth Dis
trict, all pIedgine support. With
in the past few days I'm told
several important Democratic
names have been added to this
list. And the most foolish person
voter who thinks she hasn't a
in the State of Maryland is the
Chinaman's chance for the nomi-
nation!
Another candidate who has
made the headlines during the
past week is State Senator Funk
of Frederick County, who seems
to have "clicked" in a small way
in this section of the District.
And No. in the list flirting
with the idea is none other than
j. Andrew CohiII, of Hancock.
Leaders tell me that he is serious
about the matter, and that he
has been putting out feeIers in
the five counties of the District.
CohiIl was candidate for the

Red Birds Seour Far Flung Chain Store System for
 Real Portsider
By JAMES E. LAWSON AP Feature Service

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-Jason was no more persevering in his quest Of the Golden Fleece than the St Louis Cardinals have been in their search for a winning southpaN pitcher.
 Annually the Red Birds have combed their far-flung chain store system for a portsider who could puncture the victory column with some degree of regularity.
 Now comes Ernest Daniel White, a 24-year-old citizen of Pacolet Mills, s. C., who may hit the win ming strike the veteran Lefty Clyde Shount failed to attain since he exchanged relief hurling for regu- lar assignment.
 | Up for his second trial with the parent club, White, a 175-pounder who stands half-inch under the six-foot mark, has progressed stead 1 fly this season under the guiding genius of the Cardinals veteran catcher, Gus Mancuso.
 Ernie gained his first tryout with 1 the Red Birds in 1940 after hurling Is victories, including a no-hitter for the Houston farm and leading the Texas League in strikeouts until mid-August of the 1889 campaign.
 However, he was optioned to Co., lumbus last year and proceeded to burn up the American Association. His 13 victories against four defeats for winning percentage of .765 led the league and his 225 earned run average was the best in that depart ment.
 This spring Whites speed and control have Manager Billy South worth and the Cardinals front of- flee population sitting with their fingers crossed.
 And Ernie believes that southpaw job will be his, but just in case the boys ever get to swinging too fre- l quently where he's throwing, he's been spending the winter learning the machinist's trade.
