gram, il is pleasing 10 know that
now, one may cut-out such an
initial and as readily apply the
cut-out TO any bathrobe, sleep
ing-wear or towels, etc.
Or, by using the initial Of the
child's name, ii makes identified
ton OF his own belongings so
much easier. Rows OF coat
hooks, at home or school, can
also be made identifying by
using cut-out initials or emblems
above each hook.
While, as was remarked, the
use of this technique is practi-
cally limitless in all home tex
tile repair work, one special
branch of il should be noted here
and that is binding worn and
frayed rugs and other floor-cov-
erings.
Before such rug is sent TO a
professional cleaners, or given a
home shampoo treatment with
soap jelly, choose the best
matching color Of the tape, and
on the underside of the rug
press tape on firmly. Allow to
cool fiat, before handling. This
simple trick will extend the life
of any rug-all of which aids in
our conservation drives.

Then they told the Emperor of

advised Local Defense Councils that
during the month of September

alerts and blackouts on days during
a certain week, which week will be
designated by the Third Intercepter

or the blackouts will take place.
Fire Chiefs, Senior Air Raid War
dens, Senior Auxiliary Police and
other services connected with Civil

up on warning instructions previous
ly given and to coordinate their ac-
tivities so that there will always
be forces available in the event of

The public is requested to OBJ
serve Air Raid Precaution instruc-
lions that have been given to them
in the past. If there is an air raid
alarm in the daytime people should
get under cover and all traffic should
stop at the curb or roadsides. II
the air raid alarm occurs at night,
all traffic will stop and keep lights
out until the "all clear" and pedes-
TRANS will seek cover and all homes
and business places will be BACKED
out.
Col. Barrett wishes to impress
upon our people the urgent necessity
for these tests because we can
never know when the real thing
may strike us.

MARYLAND VOTERS co TO
POLLS In PRIMARIES

Maryland voters went to the polls
Tuesday in the statewide primary
election. Nominees were selected
for numerous offices. They included
all the statewide offices, judgeships,
members of Congress, members of
both houses of the General Assem-
bly, as well as great many minor
posts.
The polls in most districts of the
state opened at a. m. and closed
at z p. m. Hundreds of ballots had
already been cast by Marylanders
in the armed service before the
polls opened Tuesday morning for
the folks at home.
The Secretary of State received
the absentee ballots and they will
not be opened until Thursday. 1t
is quite possible that the votes mail
ed in by the service men may tip the
balance in some close contests.
The contest for several nomina-
lions on the Democratic side was
unusually spirited in Cecil County.
The offices creating the most inter-
est were those of chief judge of the
second judicial circuit; resident as
sociate Judge for Cecil County; state
senator, register of wills, sheriff,
and county commissioners. There
was practically no contest on the
Republican side. That ticket consist
ed only of four candidates-Theo-
dore Roosevelt McKelkin and w.
Pinkney West, for governor, and
Stephen r. Collins and G. Elbert
Marshall. The latter two are both
Democrats and they were running
on both tickets; the law permitting
candidates for judges to file in both
the Democratic and Republican
primaries.
| There was a keen fight over the
judgeship. Five contestants were in
the field Namely, William J. Brat
ton, Albert Constable, Omar D.
Crothers, Jr., Floyd J. Kintner, Ed
ward D. e. Rollins.
At this writing, Wednesday morn
and it is impossible to give the re-
suit of the vote throughout the
county and Judicial district.
| VOTE in SIXTH DISTRICT
The vote in this, the Sixth Dis
trict, follows: Democratic:
FOR GOVERNOR
Thomas E. Cook %
John Kennedy 16
