parrot called him "Stinky"-and
ate his pipe tobacco. And the
Missus said it served Will right
-. she'd told him not to smoke
his pipe indoors.
To make her point, the Missus
grabs Wills pipe and throws it
out the window. So VIII grabs
the parrot and throws him out
too. Looks like unpleasantness

Spring Meeting"
Brings Usual Rain

The Annual spring meeting Of
the Homemakers Council, held
Thursday in Gaithersburg. was
held in the downpour that seems
always to come on the day set for
this event, it was suggested at the
meeting that the date be moved
up to the middle of July when the
county gardens are usually in need
of rain
Mrs. Grace Yaukey, author and
traveller, sister of the novelist
Pearl Buck, took the several hun
dred women assembled on a trip
thru a typical Chinese town, in her
effort to make them understand
how they can help their boys in
the service to understand the "dif-
ferent culture" of the Chinese,
whose civilization dates back cen
turtles before the coming of Christ.
Mrs. Yaukey was born in Nan
king, spent much of her life in
China, now a resident of the coun-
ty she spends much of her time
trying to build up better under
standing between the countries.
Her book "Made In China" is the
best known Of her works. She beg
ged the women to read more about
China, and to teach their children
to respect the leisurely customs Of
the country.
The humorous readings given by
Mrs. R. G. Roemer, of the Potom-
&C Valley Club, provided chuckles,
before the heavier part of the pro-
gram was put on. This was in the
form of fifteen minute talks on the
Equal Rights Amendment, first by
Mrs. r. M. Rhoades, of the Ma
tional Women's Party, in favor of
the amendment, and by Mrs. Ralph
Himstead, vice-president of the
League of Women Voters, who OPP
posed the amendment.
Questions from the floor follow
ing the talks, enlivened the occas-
ion and brought out some points
not made previously. Neither
speaker, however, knew now Aus
tralia handled the situation fol-
lowing the granting of equal
rights" to her women. would a
woman earning large salary be
compelled to pay alimony to a
divorced husband was one ques-
ton posed.
Mrs. Donald Roberts, president
of the Council presided at the
meeting. Mrs. Edwin d. Fry, Of
Laytonsville was chairman of ar
rangements. Tea tables arranged
by a committee headed by Mrs.
Sprigg Ward, were beautifully
decorated with spring flowers Of
yellow and lavendar. The cloths
were hand crocheted table cloths.
One of the most enjoyable fea-
lures Of the afternoon was the
group singing with Mrs. Julia
Ward Walker as leader and Mrs,
Darby at the piano.

and gone and another chapter has
been added to The Annals of
Sandy Spring. Sunday afternoon
We sat in the plain" old Meeting
house and listened while the his
torian, Richard Bentley Thomas,
read the happenings of the Com
munity during the twelve months,
since last we sat there.
Many new names creep into the
story of late-with the rest of the
county Sandy Spring Community
is undergoing great changes. In
deed all too often the old names
are mentioned only in the obitu-
aries and accounts of birthdays OF
the aged. Nothing very exciting
happened during the year, but the
keen wit of the historian made the
most of small events and afforded
chuckles to those present.
He started off by telling about a
fat old hen who took refuge on a
fire engine the night there was a
fire at Henry Robey's, and awoke
the next morning in the frehouse
in Sandy Spring as much to her
amazement as to that of Mr..
Thomas who was watcher" that
night. "She reversed the old say
ing by jumping from the fire to
the fry pan, as she graced the
table of one of the firemen shortly
thereafter" runs the story.
"About the middle of April, Sam
Rice on the cottage farm of the
late Charles Stabler, and Secre-
tary Ickes, just west of Olney, re-
ceived considerable publicity, on
radio and in the press, by obtain
ing several of the informed Japs
for help on their poultry farms.
For Sam Rice the experiment has
worked well-One of Mr.. Ickes'
Japs got a better job teaching at
College Park-the other soon left.
w. H. Wagner, who now owns the
Capt. Strain place, also has a fam
lily to work with his chickens; they
too, are satisfactory and some of
their children are in Sherwood
School. Mr.. Ickes is now trying
out conscientious objectors," the
narrative states.
"On April 80, 1913, Floyd E.
Huntley bought Mt. Airy from
Frederick w. McReynolds, who
moved his family to Washington.
Thomas Berlage of Chicago,
bought the Huntley place opposite
Failing Green. 1t was previous
ly owned by John Hett. About this
time DIR. J. w. Bird was elected
president of the Medical and CHR
ugical Faculty of Maryland.
In April The Montgomery Farm
ers Club was informed that the
body of water impounded by the
new dam at Brighton would be
called Philadelphia Lake" to per-
petuate the old name. James Hilles
Robinson, died in Washington
State. Just little later the value
of gas tickets was cut; most of
the various clubs and "associa-
tions ceased to function, but the
"Senior and Enterprise clubs, hav-
ing more vigor or better appetites
than the others, did not miss a
meeting"
"Oh June 9th Sandy Spring was
the setting for the maneuvers Of
an army tank corps. Those vicious
looking machines, large and small
took the neighborhood by storm;
in their game of hide and seek
they were found in the byways
and hedges or any place to elude
the enemy. 1t looked rather in
congruous to see two Of these war
machines in the Westinghouse
groundsl Shades Of the old Quak-

d RAANt Oi piCCt vi
merchandise to control initiation
isn't simple. All week, Congress
men have been finding that out
as the stormy debate over the new
OPA bill proceeded.
A modest cotton goods exhibit
from Michigan in room No. 2l5 in
the Old House Office Building was
ample proof OF the complications
in Price Control Exhibit No. 90
was a child's cotton dress. Pur.
chased in Grand Rapids for Sass,
II was easily not worth more than
S2.9s in a normal market. But this
little school dress took the rap so
the retailer could hold the line on
high priced garment on which
the price had been fixed at too
low a price to pay fair profit.
That's why the Hartley amend.
ment was proposed. And Michigan
congressman say they've been
swamped with kilograms urging its
support. The Hartley amendment
would remove what's known as
Highest Price Line Limitations"
from the more expensive merchan-
disc to allow cheaper items to be
sold at normal levels. Most OF
the kilograms stressed that both
retailer and consumer are victims.
In the Michigan exhibit were
other storytelling items from Mus
kegon, st. Joseph, and Kalamazoo.
