candidate for denomination 10 the
Senate of Maryland. Senator Kim
BILE was reelected 10 the State Sen
ate of Allegany County in 1898,
and this year has won another Re-
publican primary fGh: against one
of Glenn Beall's Republican politi-
cal friends for his third nomination.
Senator Kimble does not this Fall
have a Democratic opponent for
the November election so his third
election TO the Maryland Senate is
assured.
AS Senator from Allegany Coun-
~ j. Glenn Beall voted against the
Workmen's Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill known as House Bill 251
in the 1893 session. This bill had
already passed the House of Dele
gates and was the most important
legislation desired by labor in ten
years. Miss Lavinia Eagle, Demo-
cratic member of the House of
Delegates from Montgomery Coun-
~, made the closing speech in favor
of this important bill just before
it was put to a vote and passed by
the House of Delegates.
VOTED AGAINST WORKERS
With the Republican State Sen
ator from the States greatest in
dustrial County voting against the
bill its defeat was accomplished.
Glenn Beall's vote against this bill
was recorded in the Senate journal
of April 1. 1888, on page 1075. Had
this bill passed the Senate of Mary
land in 1888 benefits for unemploy-
ment would have been paid in this
State beginning in January Of 1896
instead of January of 1888.

Impact Of War
Just Being Felt,
Women Told
Argo Lodge Hears
Nathan Of WPB and
Walker, Saluage Aide

We are just barely beginning to
feel the impact of war production
on our economic system, our stand
ard of living and our everyday
habits. As of June 80 we had only
accomplished one-fifth of the total
war production set for us by Con-
greSs, and we must still produce
more than four times as much
That was the message brought to
members of the Women's Auxiliary
of Argo Lodge, B'nai Birth, yester-
day by Robert Nathan, chairman OF
the Planning Committee of the War
Production Board, who spoke at a
meeting of the group in the Jewish
Community Center.
by June 30, three months ago
today, Congress had appropriated
225 billion dollars with which to
procure guns, ammunition, airplanes
and clothing for our armed forces
and those of our allies" he said.
by that time only 40 billion dollars
worth OF goods had been manu-
featured, -Four -f1fths of the Job
is still ahead of us. What we have
done today is merely drop in the
bucket! Our impact on the fighting
front has barely begun to be felt.
Compared to the future, the
present impact of war production
on our industry has been practically
nil" Mr.. Nathan continued. From
here on it is not going to be easy.
We are already crowding up against
the utmost capacity of our railroad
system. Still we are just beginning
to feel the impact of war on our
economic system, on our standard of
living and our everyday habits"
What have you sacrificed? What
have you really given up?" Mr.. Ma
than continued. Relatively speak
ing, we have given up very little
compared with the soldier who daily
risks his life on the front. What
nave we given up compared with
England? Every day 1 talk with
people who have just come back
from Britain and who tell me of the
real deprivation there.
Translate your patriotism into
action" he urged his listeners.

by really conserving goods and ma

Jobs with no consideration of the possibility
that there is war work and war thinking for
us to do?
Have we failed, as civilians, to get down to
fighting the war on the home front as hard
as the uniformed ranks are fighting it, both in
training camp and actual combat, as hard as
the Russians at Sevastopol, the British in
Egypt since Auchinleck took over?
These questions must be answered by every
Individual for himself or herself But there is
reason to believe that the answer would be
yes in great majority of cases.
Granting this probability, what are we going
to do to correct our faults? ?That, too, must be
answered individually. But if, as there is good
reason to believe, we have not yet begun to
fight, and if we are awake to the pressing
need for harder home fighting, one way to
start correcting our errors would be to turn

Investors In Life

There has been too much talk Of "giving'

sequence too many citizens look upon tn e
service they render as if it were of no more
consequence than the nickel they put in

The fact is that time devoted to defense is
not a gift but an investment in life. It is
work for which no compensation could be
given in dollars and cents. That is to saw it

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The subject of the
most muddled conversations in Washington to-
day is Congress-"
Locally, there has been a strong reaction
against the violent attacks on our legislative
branch of government. It has been conceded
that Congress is vital to representative gov
ernme.t; that much of the sniping against it
has been unjustified; that Congress has, on
the whole, cooperated agnificently with the
Administration in furtherance of the war eff
fort; and that making Congress and certain
congressman the "goats" for everything that
has gone or goes wrong is one of the unkindest
cuts Of all.
Still, Congress is on the fence

Rommel Outflanked

British forces<in Egypt yesterday were sue
cessful in launching SO strong an attack on
the flank of the NaZis near Ell Alamein that
Marshal Rommel was forced to order re-
treat.
The true situation in the Battle of Egypt
is necessarily clouded by contradictory re-
ports and the confusion that is inseparable
from an action of such great proportions.
But it is clear that definite check has been
placed upon the Axis advance. And in these
days so soon after the bitter British defeat
at Tobruk, where they had superiority in men,
equipment and supplies-as Prime Minister
Churchill has admitted-but we're outfought,
this fact is notable. Rommers advance was
stalled. That is significant.
1t could be that General Auchinleck, who
has taken personal command of the British
in Egypt, has put new spirit into the forces
he leads as we'll as new strategy into the
fighting If this is true, and if, as Mr.. Church
hill told the House of Commons, new sup
plies, equipment, munitions and men are be-

reason to hope that Rommel will at last
meet the defeat upon which continued British
domination of the Middle East depends.

Reflector Lights

Coastal dimout areas are continually con-
fronted with the possibility of highway acci-
dents involving loss of life. AS the Wilmington
district has two such areas, Wrightsville
Beach and Carolina Beach, the question what
can be done to lessen the hazard of night ac-
cidents is uppermost in many minds.
One possible way of improving the situa-
ton which is widely discussed is to install
reflector lights in the center of highways
within the dimmed areas. It is reasonably be-
lieved that this would prevent motorists from
driving off the road.
Some persons think the proposal imprac-
ticable on the ground that dimmed headlights
would not pick up the reflectors, but it is
well established that average DINNERS on
