More than 300 veterans at the
University of Maryland, who have
been living in double decker hunks
in the new armory since school
opened last week, are busy trying
to discover just how this thing called
civilian life differs from service
life-and are having tough time
finding many changes.
The men have offered to live II
the armory until housing units have
been completed for them-possibly
some time this month. The shortage
.ofs dormitory space came as result
of an all-time high student enroll
ment Of almost 1000 last week, OF
which 4,400 are veterans.
600 Bunks jam Floor.
This is how college life stacks ur
for them, according to Carl j. Ear

former servicemfn assigned as proc
tor at the armory:
About 600 hunks are jammed or
the main floor of the armory. Scat
tered through these hunks are some
300 men. Hat and clothes racks are
at a premium, with three or foul
men sharing one rack, and living
out of suitcase Is necessity. Bath

have disappointed many who hae

and thus allow Maryland to keer

Hearing Is SET
For Hendricks
NOTWITHSTANDING
First-Degree Murder
Charge to Be Heard
| AtBethesdu 7 Tomorrow

Charged with first-degree murder
Of his wife, Homer Hendricks, 46-
year-old Washington attorney, was
in Rockville jail today awaiting a
preliminary hearing at $50 am.
tomorrow before Trial Magistrate
James G. Christopher in Bethesda
Police Court.
Hendricks surrendered early yes
terday to Montgomery County
police, telling them he had shot
and killed his wife, Gertrude, AZ,
in the bedroom of their home at
5514 Hampden lane in Bethesda.
The couple had been married since
1880 and had frequent arguments,
authorities were told.
Montgomery County records dis
closed that both Mr.. and Mrs.
Hendricks were involved in COM
plants or police action in recent
years. About six months ago two
charges of disorderly conduct were
filed against Mrs. Hendricks, one
by her husband and the other by
police.
Complained to Police.
A year ago, according to the
records, Mrs. Hendricks complained
to police that her husband had
threatened her.
Last April Hendricks filed suit for
divorce on grounds of cruelty. AL
though court records indicate the
suit never was withdrawn, 1t did not
go forward because the plaintiff,
Hendricks, did not request trial
date, Joseph B. Simpson, jr., States
attorney for Montgomery County,
said.
Mr.. Simpson late yesterday or:
dered warrant for his arrest on a
first-degree murder charge, which
makes possible death by hanging.
Mr.. Simpson said the death penalty
is not mandatory on conviction.
Warrant Issued.
The warrant was issued by Justice
of the Peace James C. Nichols of
Bethesda on oath of Detective Corpl.
John P. Leahy of the Montgomery
County police.
Police took Hendricks to the Rock
vile Jail at 4:30 pm. They an
nounced he will be represented by
James B. Pugh, former States at
torney for Montgomery County, and
F. Barnard Welsh, Rockville lawyer,
I with whom he conferred briefly in
the course of several hours of ques-
tioning by police at the Bethesda
station.
i Hendricks appeared in good
health and was wearing the same
gray sweater and gray Army-type
trousers he had on when he went
to the home of law firm partner at
1850 am. yesterday and reported,
the friend said, that he had killed
his wife.
4 Tells Of Argument.
According to Mr.. Simpson, Hen
bricks, q tax attorney and former
member of the Texas Legislature,
told authorities he went to his wife's
room about am. and after an
argument fired four shots at her
with a .22-caliber target pistol.
Three of the bullets struck her.
Hendricks declared his wife was not
asleep at the time of the shooting,
) Mr.. Simpson said.
i Hendricks then went to the nearby
home of partner in the law firm
: of Miller and Chevalier in the
! Southern Building, saying he in
tended to surrender to police. His
friend called police who directed
, Hendricks to return home.

DEMOCRATS WILL
LIKELY TAKE HOUSE
Continued From Page One

State administrative offices arc TO be
voted upon. il becomes more appar-
ent as the election approaches that
l946 will have controlling influence
over 1913 voting.
Party leaders are still cagey about
quoting actual figures when eStimat-
ing the probable number ballots to
be cast, but they have no hesitancy
in predicting half Il million or more
The ratio of party strength holds at
approximately 20 per cent Democra-
tic, 30 per cent Republican. Some
estimates range as high as 100000
total, with Democratic margins go
ing up in proportion To the vote Fig
ureS are not at hand on total num-
brc Of registered voters in the State,
but II is believed to be around u
million and a quarter. with another
half million eligible for registration
but not on the books.
The 1896 election holds record for
top voting with a total of 8l2,9S2
votes last for governor, divided al
most exactly III ratio of two to one
Democratic. The 1910 gubernatorial
vote was 803,346, with the Demo-
Gratis staining better than three to
one majority. The 1914 vote dropped
to 759,993 and the ratio stood at II
to 30.
The record off-ycar vote was cast
in 1898 when Il total OF I96,335 bal
lots were counted at party ratio
OF 64 TO 36. However, that year
United States senator was on the
ticket and perhaps drew more voter
interest than would otherwise have
been noted
The most recent non-prcS;dcntial
election was in 1912. That year many
young men were away from homo in
the armed forces. and the total vote
dropped to 3l9,5I with Democratic
! majority in ratio of &C to "a. That
year also senator was OF be elected
The erratic record of the past five
general elections offers no Satisfac-
! tory basis for predicting the results
next Tuesday. Since 1896 there has
been rather constant decline in the
number OF votes cast. For governor
the vote dropped from 8l2.982 in
1896. to 803,846 in 1910 and 1880
IN 1914. The off year vote dropped
from 496,335 in 1883 TO 349.452 in
1912. What the 1913 and 1914 vote
might have been had the war not
interviewed is anybody'S guess
Political observers, therefore, are
looking ahead rather than back to
IND basis for estimating the vote.
The keen general interest in the next
presidential and gubernatorial races
is expected 10 pull an all-timc rec
ord vote in 1913, and anticipating
mat interest most observers look for
Il heavy vote Tuesday.
Attendance at political meetings
this year has been larger than usual,
there is evidence Of more intensive
organization work in the precincts
and counties.
So far as North Carolina is con-
cerncd, little change in existing
party representation is expected. Not
more than l6 nor less than twelve
Republicans are expected in the next
House of Representatives. three in
the Senate. with all Democratic cam
dicates for Judicial positions expect

Victory Again for Penici!!in

the penicillin we're tried W the
New York doctors. 1t was given by
injection into n muscle, by breath
ing it into the windpipe and
bronchi, and by q combination of
these methods. The treatment was
carried out on ten men and two
women. The patients varied in age
from 16 to 80 years.
X-Ray Diagnosis
The diagnosis was made in
every case by means of the N-ray.
Before the X-ray was taken, a
compound OF iodine was instilled
into the lungs to make the bronchi
visible in the X-ray plate.
The bronchiectasis developed
following pneumonia in ten of the
patients and after whooping cough
and influenza in the other two. The
symptoms had been present for
more than ten years in all but two
o. the patients. The length of
treatment varied from four to l15
days. 1t was found that best re-
suits were obtained when it was
given by breathing it into the
windpipe.
As n result of the treatment, it
was found that the amount of
sputum was considerably lcssencd,
its odor was removed and there
was n great improvement in the
symptoms. These changes were
maintained as long MS the peni-
cillin was continued. When the
treatment was stopped, the symp-
toms tended to conc back again.
1t seems that in controlling
bronchiectasiS it may be necessary
to continue the pcnicillin treat
mcnt indefinitely, but in view Of
the good results obtained. such
treatment would appear worth
while.

GROWTH is one Of the physical
mysteries and yet it is so natural
and so usual that most of us take
it for granted without ever rcaliz-
ing what a complex thing it is.
Who troubles 20 ask, for in
stance. what hidden forces gradu-
ally transform the chubby babe
into the long-limbcd. slender child?
Who inquiries about the stimulus
behind the sudden squirt to ado
lesccncc, or seeks the brake, which,
with the coming of manhood, stops
all growth forever?
Glandular System
OF late years, medical science
has found that the body's intricate
glandu1ar system is the chief reg
ulator of this orderly pattern of
development from infant to adult
and consequently n good deal of
attention has been given to the
problem of controlling height.
Some information has been
gathered concerning the various
glandular disorders which may be
responsible for failure to grow
normally and in some cases, treat
mcnt with glandular extracts has
been found helpful.
Recently, DR.. James X. Fancher
Of Atlanta, Georgia, has made a
study of 100 children who were
growing too rapidly or too tall,
and has found that in many of
these cases it is possible to check
or stop abnormal growth COM
plctcly. He treated CT Of them with
Elandular extracts over n long
enough period of time to determine
what effects might be obtained.

WHEN the marvellous healing
properties of penicillin were first
discovered, supplies were so short
that mercy demanded they be used
only against violent, acute and
fatal infections.
Today, fortunately, there is
more than enough of this yellow
magic for the very i'll, and so doc
tors have been able to test it's eff
fects in other less dangerous all
ments. One of these, in which re-
cent work with penicillin seems
hopeful is bronchiectasis.
Bronchi Enlarged
In bronchiectasis the bronchi OF
the small tubes in the lungs,
through which air passes, are en-
larged. There is a combination of
inflammation and wasting of the
tissues, with the result that scar
tissue may, in time, replace the
lining membrane in various spots.
Symptoms are usually confined
to bouts Of coughing during which
a great deal OF Sputum with a bad
odor is brought up. Once started,
the disorder grows progressively
worse, until al last, the patient
may be made miserable by the
persistent cough.
So far as is known, there is no
way to restore the normal struc-
ture Of the bronchi once bronchi-
ectasis has developed. But accord
ing to DR.. Sydney Basin and his
co-workcrs of New York, treat
mcnt with pcnicillin does much to
check the symptoms. Their work
gives hSpc that in the future this
disease may be controlled before
permanent damage to the bronchi
has been done.
