Society Of Museums
Holds Convention
DR.. Craft, Who Attended,
Brings Back Little Known Story
Of Arts Place In War.

That war does indeed make
strange bedfellows, was aptly il
Illustrated by a little-known story of
how the museums of America furn-
ished invaluable bombing data to
the Army Air Forces during the
war, told by DIR. John Richard
Craft, director of the Washington
County Museum Of Fine Arts, on his
return from the forty-frst annual
convention of the American Society
of Museums, held in Washington
recently.
This strange liason between the
forces of destruction and the agents
of preservation was detailed by Gen
eral Hildring, of the Department Of
State, one of the principal speakers
at the two-day conference, which
was attended by five hundred mu-
scum directors from all parts of this
country and Europe.
According to the general, who de-
scribed himself as a hard-boiled
regular Army man, the military
looked with distinct scepticism upon
certain INSTANCES of the American
Society of Monuments. The latter
body were convinced that, in the
interests of future goodwill among
nations, it was essential to keep
intact as much as possible of the
culture, history and backgrounds OF
the countries under fire
Toward this end, recognising the
importance of monuments as SYM
bols of history and culture, the mu-
seums of America furnished the
Army with detailed maps showing
the location of every monument in
Europe, which not only prevented
indiscriminate bombing, but were
also extremely useful in charting
the terrain.
The resulting preservation of
these symbols of heritage, and the
good will thus engendered, con-
WINGED the general that the museum
people were right, ne assured them
ir Tsss account.
Another interesting feature of the
meeting, according to DR.. Craft was
the opening address delivered by
Archibald McLeish, one of the most
controversial figures of our day.
McLeish's talk on art as an indis-
pensable tool with which to measure
the drift of mankind, and the tmpor-
tance Of cultural understanding
among the people of America, was
described by DR.. Craft as one of the
finest speeches he had heard. It Was,
he said, most enthusiastically re-
ceived by the entire audience.
Members of the Society were
guests at a White House reception
given by Mrs. Truman, at which the
President was unexpectedly present
to receive them.
All of the important museums in
the country were represented at the
meeting, which was held in the Nat
ional gallery, and also present were:
The director of the Louvre, the Ital-
ian minister of art, and M. Paul Bon
net, French Ambassador.
While in Washington, DIR. Craft
also attended a meeting of the
American Federation of Arts.

4 OLITICAL
By BALLOT BOX

During a weekend visit to Allie
gany, Frederick and Montgomery
counties, was vastly amused at the
publicity tactics of the Lane for
Governor" campaign strategists.
AS you have probably noticed, in
Washington County all the Lane car
stickers and publicity feature only
the candidacy of Mr.. Lane. But
when you get to Cumberland (the
home of Earl Colby, candidate for
Attorney General on the Tawe s
ticket, you will find that all the
publicity centers around Mr.. Lane
and his running mate for State
Comptroller, James J. Lacy, with
not word said about Hall Ham
mond, candidate for Attorney Cen
eral on the Lane ticket.
Stepping over to Frederick County
(the home of John Funk candidate
for State Comptroller on the Bald
win ticket, the picture again
changes. There you find the posters,
sticl1ers and publicity featuring Mr.
Lane and Hall Hammond, candidate
for Attorney General on the Lane
ticket, with not word about James
Lacy, the Lane candidate for State
Comptroller.
In Montgomery County, however,
the picture again changes. There
you find the Lane campaign strate-
gists picking up both Mr.. Lanes
running mates, Lacy and Hammond,
and spreading on the publicity for
three candidates.
Finally, although no rallies for all
three candidates are being held In
either Allegany, Frederick, or Wash
ington counties, Mr.. Lane is picking
up both his running mates and talk
ing them with him to Montgomery
County, where a big rally for all
three candidates is planned for next
week in the Kensington Armory,
%#%
With the primaries less than four
weeks away-Monday, June "a, is
the date--I have heard little or moth
ing about the elections in Washing
ton County-with the exception of
course of the major State candidates.
AS a matter of fact, the county seems
to be far less excited over the COM
ing primaries than they were four
years ago-and this despite the fact
that there are many more candidates
in the various races now than there
were then.
All of which leads me to suspect
that there will be a comparatively
small primary vote here and that
the candidates are either out beating
the bushes for votes, or sitting back
and relying on the Democratic and
Republican Central Committees to
put them over (the latter, of course,
being only those candidates who
have the official blessing of the
two committees).
P. S. Look for some big upsets in
the Washington County primaries
particularly in the Republican
Party.

.Carlin Makes Plea
For Newton Baker
Democratic Candidate for Con-
gress Ask Veterans Admins
tration To Take Over Martins
burg Hospital.

William F. CarIin, Democratic
candidate for Congress from the
Sixth Congressional District, is 100
per cent behind the efforts being
made to have the Veterans Admins
tration take over the Newton D.
Baker Hospital at nearby Martins
burg, w. Va.
On May Mr.. Carlin addressed
a letter to General Omar N. Brad
ley, head of the Veterans Admins
tration, strongly urging the reten-
ton of the hospital by the govern
ment and last week he received a
reply, assuring him that the matter
was receiving very favorable con-
sideration and that the Veterans Ad-
ministration was desirious of utiliz-
ing all possible resources in meet
ing the needs of veterans of Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia.
Editors Note: General Bradley
has just announced that the Veterans
Administration has frozen" Newton
D. Baker Hospital and its equipment,
pending final decision as to it's
use by the v. A. This means in
effect that the Veterans Adminstra-
ton has taken an option on the
property and equipment and that
the hospital must remain intact un-

BEAUTY HINTS
By NINA TEMPLE


Salts Baths For Beauty
To free your body Of skin
eruptions and muddiness, try
the epson salts bath. Just as
taking this mixtures internally
cleanses the system, the bathing
works the same miracle upon
the outer covering OF the skin.
Just throw two cups of dissolved
salts into the tub twice a week
and you will find your whole
body breathing in more vigor-
qusly through the pores as we'll
as taking on a much clearer ap-
pearance. This bath also re-
lieves the strain on the kidneys
by helping to eliminate the
waste that clogs the pores. OF
course the plain facial salts
bath is good as regular rou-
tine -- but the body bath is a
more general tonic.
The Olive Oil Cup
You will be surprised With the
benefits you may derive from
having an Olive-oil cup on your
night table. After you have gone
to bed you can so easily place
your fingertips in the little cup
and let them soak. This will
make them very supple, they
will never be brittle and break
off as before, also 1t softens the
cuticle around the nail and max
es It easy to press back or trim.
When one is tired, 1t is the Gus
tom to leave off the little extra
things that preserve beauty, but
If such precautions are taken,
it is easy to do the additional
beauty chores. TRY the cup.
Womanliness
Above all, let a woman be
womanly, not aping men, not
casting aside her feminine gar
ments, but holding fast to soft
laces and friIls and ruffles.
Somehow we love to think of
women SO framed. When she
stalks along trousered and nom
chalant, we look twice before
we are certain of her sex. Sex
is her one differentiation from
! the male and to preserve that
difference should be chief aim.
When man-like women swing
and sway from the trolley straps
we need not wonder deeply why
they are left quite alone. Men
