Clubs Hear
Miss BiddZe

ABOUT $50 women belonging
to the National Farm and Gar
den Association of the city and
county heard with pleasure and
benefit the lecture given by
Dorothy Biddle of the Flower
Grower at the USO club yester-
day afternoon. She was intro
duced by Mrs. Graham Gracey.
Miss Biddle illustrated her
talk by making flower arrange
ments with quantity of beauti-
full material brought in by club
members. The first a long piece,
was built in a silver basket.
Deeply shaded gladioli were
combined with dark red asters
and orange colored nasturtiums.
The sides of the arrangement
were not the same giving the
grouping surprise element
which Miss Biddle said lends in
terest. This was placed on the
long table from which tea was
served later in the afternoon.
She stepped back a generation
or two and made a little old
fashioned nose gay, formerly
called "Tussi Mussi," made in a
metal lace container. One re-
quirement is that it must have a
sweet odor. These bouquets
were carried by ladies of gentil-
ity and leisure of former years.
Only the container then was
made of starched embroidery.
This drew much interest.
Miss Biddle made many
groupings giving new ideas in
the Use of holders and containers
as we'll as of materials. Miss
Florence Chapoton and Mrs.
Walter G.. Fenton presided at
the tea table.

Federation 10 Hear
Home Rule Proposals

A favorable report on the pro-
posed homerule legislation spon-
sored by State Senate President
James J. Lindsay will be given to-
night before the Montgomery
County Civic Federation at a meet
ing in the Bethesda Elementary
School by Walter. H. McClennon,
chairman of the Legislative and
Legal Action Committee.
Mr.. McClennon will point out
that while Montgomery County al
ready enjoys IA of the 16 home
rule provisions proposed, the Fed
Grafton should indorse the bill be-
cause it will enable the General
Assembly to give more time to
Statewide legislation, it will relieve
some of the evils in the Maryland
system of enactment of local legis-
lation by the General Assembly
and 1t is a slight step in the direc-
ton of home rule for Maryland
counties.
The committee said 1t does not
indorse the bill as a substitute for
the charter form of government,
however.
The bill would provide Is new
powers to all county commission
ers. Most of them, except the power
to provide merit and retirement
systems, are already held by the
Montgomery commissioners.

Maryland Official, Dies Rockville Draft Call

Selective Service Board No. / of
Rockville will call 243 farm-deferred

Mr.. Cromwell said 68 men will be
given physical examinations Sat-
urday, 80 on January 10 and the

Training Of 100000 Flyers
A Year After War Uroed

A large trained reserve of FIRST
class flying men" is urged by Sena-
tor Johnson, Democrat, of Colorado,
as the foundation of national pre-
paredness after this war.
Advocating a plan to start 10000
young men in flying training each
year, Senator johnson said yester-
day that "they should be schooled
for four or five years and given some
instruction in aeronautical engineer
ing"
He cited the recent Army Air
Forces report that it had lost more
planes in training than have been
shot down by the enemy on all war
fronts, and added that it was un-
fortunate that lack of an ample re-
serve of pilots forced the Army to
rush flyers through training when
the war broke out.
Cool to the idea of one year of
military training for all youths, Sem
ator Johnson said boot training
could be given in less than year
while it would take longer than
that to train technicians."

Woman, 70, HitbyCar
On Christmas Day,
Dies in Hospital

The Districts second traffic death
for 1945 was registered early yester-
day when Mrs. Mary Harrington, 10
died in Gallinger Hospital of injuries
received in an accident at Four
teenth and Clifton streets NV. on
Christmas Day.
She was first treated at Emergency
Hospital for what appeared to be
minor injuries and later was trans
ferred to Gallinger Hospital, where
she failed to respond to treatment
The precise cause of her death has
not been determined. The mother
of Leo Harrington, Washington at
torney, she lived at 1924 Belmont
street NV.
Police said she was struck by a
taxicab driven by John M. Garrison,
Sc, of 1909 Twenty-first street NV.
He was arrested at his home several
hours after the accident and
charged with leaving the accident
scene and with having faulty brakes,
police said Garrison was released
later through court action when it
was ascertained he had been taken
into custody without a warrant and
is now being sought for appearance
at coroner's inquest scheduled
today, police said.
Traffic statistics for 1914 have dis
closed that 70 of last years 88 fatal
tiles were pedestrians and slightly
over half of these deaths involved
persons more than go years old, ac-
cording to an analysis of the figures
by Baxter Smith, chairman of the
Highway Safety Committee of the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
Inasmuch as only six of the per-
sons killed were under Is years old,
it appears that children seem to be
taking better care of themselves
than the elderly people, Mr.. Smith
said. Fifty-four of the accidents
occurred after dark, % persons were
killed by streetcars and 10 by buses,
according to the figures, which Mr..
Smith said were obtained from the
accident investigation unit of the
Police Department.

BALTIMORE, Jan. "a six
alarm fire last night destroyed a
|block-long building housing the
Sparrows Point post Office and tele-
phone exchange, two stores and two
lodge headquarters, hating all tele-
phone service to and from the COM
munity. Unofficial estimates placed
the loss at several hundred thou

outdoor booths would be set up and
a trailer-truck telephone unit would

Baltimore Postmaster Neal A. Sib-
ley said he could not determine i'm
mediately how much mail was de-
stroyed. He added that the Spar
rows Point mail would be delivered

In the two-story brick structure
were located a meat market, a de-
partment store, the Masonic Hall
and headquarters of the community
unit of the Odd Fellows Lodge, as
well as the post office and telephone
exchange.

resulted from defective heating

ment for three hours, but the ex-

into the first and second stories and
the slate roof collapsed.
Two firemen were slightly injured,

BALTIMORE, Jan. S-M. Court
ney jenkins, 81. engrossing clerk of
the Maryland Senate for 10 years,
died yesterday after an illness of
several weeks.
A requiem mass will be said to-
morrow at st. Charles Catholic
Church, Indianhead, with burial in
the adjoining cemetery.
Mr.. Jenkins was an individualist
who was as much of an institution
at the race tracks or at the Balti-
more Oriole baseball park as at the
State House. Usually he was ac-
companied by at least one of the
400 or 500 dogs he trained during
his lifetime.
Thomas Courtney Jenkins, his
merchant father, was consul at
Georgetown, British Guiana, under
President Buchanan. The younger
Jenkins married his cousin, the
former Miss Elizabeth Snowden
Jenkins, in 1917 when he was 55
His wife died several years later.
In computing his age Mr.. Jenkins
costomarily overlooked his first Is
years, because, he said:
Il don't consider that I actually
began living until I was Is. Before
that I didn't have good sense"
