Maryland 10 Retire
$4,000 Of Debt
Rv lie Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. l5.-The
State of Maryland today will write
off another 1898 900 of its indebted
ness, thereby reducing the public
debt to s22, ,726,o00.
Gov. OConor said the new total
of outstanding bonds would be less
than half of the SAB 8,247 900 debt
which his administration inherited
when IT took Office in 1889.
During the current fiscal year
81 ,139 900 worth Of bonds have been
redeemed and tomorrows maturities
will boost the total to $2.372.0o0.
Redemptions during the remainder
Of this fiscal year include S56,0oO
on January Is, 1916; s737 900 due
on February Is, sl22 900 on April /
S453 900 on April Is, s11l9,000 on
June l and s337,oo0 on June Is.
LAS a result of the many pay
ments due" the Governor said, 'the
balance at the close of this fscaI
year on June 80, next. will stand
at $40 1902 900, the first time in more
than 80 years that the debt has
gone below he S21, 100000 mark.
This continuing reduction should
be source of great satisfaction
to every one. particularly when il
is remembered that 5000 900 of sur
plus funds have been transferred
to the postwar constructions total
thus making unnecessary issuance
of bonds to that extent in connec-
ton with the improvement pro-
gram facing the State in the years
Just ahead"

After Leaving

Other dogs can have their soldier
masters, but Lady is true to the

Lady, fondly described as part
collie, part police and part spitz,

with her WAC mistress, Sergt. Doro-
thy M. Thorne, at Boiling Field,
after separation of four months
and 1900 miles.
At Boiling Field, the soldiers
whistle at her but Lady will have
no part of them, including generals.
When Brig. Gen. Charles F. Born,
chief of the separation control Of
flee and Sergt. Thorne's boss, bent
to give Lady welcoming pat, the
dog skunk away.
Sergt. Thorne always hastens to
explain Lady wasn't trained to
frighten the men away.
Knows Little of Past
Il know so little about her past"
said the WAC sergeant. She ar
rived from goodness knows where at
Midland, Tex, one day. She was
standing around the flight line ana
the boys were teasing her. She
looked so cowed that one of the
WACs working in the hangar
brought her up to the WAC area.
That was sort of a sanctuary for
her. The only time she left the area
was when the whole company went
out for retreat. Then she would fol-
low us. Finally she started following
me to work. She got into the build
ing somehow and after that it was
just question of Lady getting to
work on time"
In June Sergt. Thorne was or
dered to Boiling Field. She decided
to leave Lady behind because she
didn't know how Washington felt
about dogs and, in Texas, Lady was
among friends.

Admiral DenfeId
To Testify Thursday
On Discharge Rate

Reduction in the Navy's point
score for discharge is expected this
week-possibly when Vice Admiral
Louis E. Denfeld, chief of the Navy's
Bureau of Personnel, testifies on de-
mobilization on Capitol Hill Thurs
day, it was learned today.
A Navy spokesman said officials
were still working on the new plan
promised 10 days ago by Undersec-
retary Artemus Gates.
An announcement Of reduced
scores would take some of the heat
off the Navy and would follow the
precedent set by Gen. George c.
Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, when
he announced reduced Army scores
to members of Congress while they
were protesting slow Army demobi-
lization.

Senator Gurney, Republican, of
South Dakota, told reporters he
heard the Army was discharging
IS, 900 soldiers a day, which he
thought was pretty good. but "the
Navy isn't doing so we'll"
Senator Hill. Democrat, Of Ala

Then Sergt. Thprne started worry

substantial baggage fee. arranged
to have Lady equipped with a five

War FundAske
To Help Center
On Hearing Aids
Consultation Office
Urged for Veterans,
Others on Deafness

The Washington Society for
the Hard of Hearing hopes to
open a hearing aid consultation
center in Washington with the
financial help of the Community
War Fund, it was announced to-
day.
Miss Rose v. Feilbach, executive
secretary of the society, said that
the Budget Committee of the fund
will review the request tomorrow.
Leaders in the Community War
Funds campaign for $4,e70,o00
cited the project as an example
OF progressive planning by a mem
ber agency. But they warned that
failure of the present drive would
make the project impossible.
Contributions now stand at 81
009 ,876.36. There are, however, 162
different agencies with calls on the
money.
The Society for the Hard of Hear
ing now is scheduled to receive
$3.50 from the drive.
Miss Feilbach said that Wash
lngton is one of the few large cities
in the country that has no center
where the hard of hearing can 60
for information about hearing aids.
Seen Aid to Veterans.
BY scientific tests, the center
would determine what instrument
would best correct the hearing de-
feet Of an individual, eliminating the
necessity for shopping around" and
breaking down prejudice against
wearing instruments.
1t would greatly benefit veterans,
Miss Feilbach said, since loss of
hearing caused by their war service
may be gradual. All Army rehabih-
tation centers have hearing aid
clinics, but the soldier may leave
| the Army before his hearing de-
feet becomes serious, she said.
Army centers have processed T.
900 men with hearing defects, and
many others still need it, she said.
The society plans to use the two
back rooms of its headquarters, 2431
Fourteenth street NV, for the CEN
ter. 1t will have to buy an audio-
meter TO measure what person can
and cannot hear and find a trained
technician to run the center.
Makers to Cooperate.
Manufacturers of hearing aids
have offered to cooperate in sup
plying models of their instruments.
Because the frequency at which
persons hear best differ, a model
suited to one client might not do
for another, Miss Feilbach ex-
planned
The individual would be taught
how to wear an aid and also would
get some acoustic training. The
center would not sell hearing aids.
Today begins the last full week
of work by 10000 volunteers in the
campaign, The drive is scheduled
to close a week from Wednesday.
So far 14l,257 donors have signed
pledge cards.
