Attorney, who will be your constant
adviser and will lay before you such
cases as he has Investigated and de-
termined should be presented to you.
In this connection | may say that the
Court Of Appeals of Maryland has re-
Gently held that it is not proper for
private citizens to approach the Grand
Jurors individually with any COM
plants which they may have until
they have either consulted the States
Attorney or attempted to seek redress
before Magistrate
If, after hearing and giving care
full consideration to all the evidence
presented to you, you believe it is suf-
hclent to result in a conviction of the
accused before the petit jury, it is
your duty to find an Indictment; if,
however, you think the charge is i'll
founded or based upon malice or with
out particular merit, you should have
no heSltancy in dismissing the case.
Aside from these matters which you
will investigate, certain statutes which
the Legislature has passed make it
the duty of the Court to call the same
to your attention.
Section % Of Article 81 Of the Code
makes it your duty to visit the Jail
and inquire into its condition, the
manner in which it is kept, treatment
of prisoners, and make a general in
spection of the Jail. From the recent
report Of the Federal inspectors, who
have visited the jails throughout the
State, it would seem that the Jail in
this county is in splendid condition
and that Sheriff Coddington is deserv-
ing Of congratulations for the manner
in which he has performed his duties
as Sheriff in this respect,
1t is also usual for the Grand Ju-
orS to inspect the Court House and
make such recommendations as they
may see fit for the repair and i'm
provement of the Court House and
Jail.
While we are not required to call
your attention to the statute against
carrying concealed weapons. we will
say in passing that it has been Gus
tomary to do so and that strict
enforcement Of this statute will con-
tribute largely to the prevention of
crime.
BY Article u, Section IA, of the
Public Local Laws of Garrett county,
it is provided that the books of the
County Treasurer shall be inspected
by the Grand Jury, and it is your duty
to make as thorough an inspection as
you can of these books and see if they
are carefully kept and that the money
received is promptly deposited If you
prefer, this may be done by commit
tee of your body consisting of persons
who have had experience with the de-
tails Of bookkeeping.
Of course, you will understand that
you must keep secret everything con-
corning your investigation and DELHI
erations and this means that you must
not communicate the same to anyone.
even members of your own family.
Your selection as Grand Jurors by
the Court evidences the fact that you
are men Of responsibility and affairs

Associated Press Science Writer.
There ought to be some sort OF
posthumous award for a 18th CEN
tury Chinese warrior when historians
start listing the heroes of this war.
One legend has it that he in
vented the rocket while helping de-
fend the great wall against Kublai
Khan in 1882. In preparing fam
ing arrow, he accidentally used some
gunpowder. Imagine his surprise
when the arrow zoomed skyward
under its own power.
The bewildered soldier on the
Chinese wall drifted into obscurity,
and rockets next pop up 100 years
later among the Arabs, who often
exchanged scientific chit-chat with
the Chinese. A hunch-backed Arab
scientist invented a rocket-propelled
boat which was tear-shaped-hun-
dreds of years ahead of modern
"streamlining."
Around 1450 an Italian rocketeer
devised rocket-propelled car de-
signed to whiz a load of explosives
against the enemy. Centuries later
the Germans used the same idea
with their explosive-carrying, elec-
trically operated robot tank-the
Goliath)
But rocket interest faded quickly
in Europe, and when artillery was
invented early in the 14th century,
rockets got the cold shoulder. This
indifference was to last nearly 400
years.
Royal Cavalry Flabbergasted.
BY 1899, however, the British de-
Tending Seringapatam, in India,
were flabbergasted when the troops
of Hyder Ali started pitching rock
cts At them. The rockets consisted
of iron explosive containers rigged
on long bamboo sticks. They raised
the Old Harry with the royal cav
airy
This led a British colonel, Sir
William Congreve, to come up with
rocket which was to prove the
terror OF Europe for the next so
years. The projectiles weighed
about 40 pounds, could carry explo-
siye or incendiary charges. They
had a maximum range of about
5000 yards.
Incidentally, Congreve may have
been the inventor of the BOBBY trap.
He rigged some rockets as incendi-
aries and others as delayed-action
explosives so that the enemy would
not know whether to try to put the
fire out-or start running. Con-
greve also packed rockets with
chemicals that generated toxic
fumes-the first "gas bombs"
Sir Williams fireworks got their
first battle in 1906, when the British
moved against the French at Bou-
logne. One night a fleet of small
boats especially rugged to fire rockets

Erection of the proposed television

favored by the Friendship Execu-

Council at special council meeting
last night.
Harry S. Wender, speaking on be-

told the group that the station
would give service to the entire city
and that since television broadcasts
are sent out on shortwave, they
cannot interfere with any radio sta
tionS. +
The 300-feet tower to be built in
the center of three-acre lot will
be "as fine as money, architectural
and engineering skill can give" he
said. Mr. Wender added that the
station viii be a home-type building
and the lot surrounding it will be
Handicapped with trees and gardens.
The studio and commercial staff will
be at another location in the busi-

Appeals Court Maintains
Work Despite Vacancies

Despite the current shortage of
justices at the United States Court
of Appeals, made more acute by
the resignation of Justice Thur
man Arnold, which takes effect
July 10, the court is current in
handling cases before it, it was
learned yesterday.
When the court adjourns for its
summer recess July Is, it will have
heard all the cases ready to be
heard and it is expected that all
opinions will have been written by
August /, it was said.
Justice Arnold's resignation will
be the second vacancy, leaving the
court with four justices instead of
it's quota of six. No successor has
been named to Fred M. Vinson,
who left the court about two years
ago to become director of eco
nomic stabiliZation and who now
has been nominated to be Secretary
of the Treasury.
One of the four present men,
bers of the bench, Justice Harold M.
Stephens, has had to devote his
time to other duties including long
service as a member of a three
judge statutory court of District
Court in connection with an anti
trust injunction suit. He also is
American chairman of the Brit
ish-American Patent Interchange
Committee,
