Civic Club Members
Hear State President
Urges Women to Participate in
Essential Projects in the
Community

What the women of the community
might do in the way Of important
projects that would mark the organ
ization as essential in the community,
/ was the gist of the remarks at the
luncheon meeting Of the Oakland
Civic Club on Tuesday by Mrs. Roy
D. Whitlock, Baltimore, president Of
the Maryland Federation of Women's
clubs.
About 60 women were present to
hear Mrs Whitiochk, who emphasized
participation in community affairs to
make the club worth while. She Of
fered many suggestions under head
ings of the home, citizenship, edu-
cation, public welfare, mental hy-
giene, conservation Of natural re-
sources, garden clubs, fine arts, and
conservation Of youth.
AS good mothers and wives she
urged economy in home expenses,
shopping advantageously and making
many of the things do that are on
hand at the moment, suggesting that
skirts be let down if necessary.
She added that women should delve
into the study of other countries and
find out what your state and town do,
understand what is going on in schools
by studying both the modern trend
and the old-fashioned way, being GER
tain to learn both sides of the ques-
tion.
Under public welfare she urged
the starting of a loan closet, which
would include articles to be loaned to
i'll persons, such as wheel chairs,
crutches, etc.
Pointing out that Maryland had
everything from sea to mountains,
she urged women to busy themselves
in carrying the message Of conser-
walton to every person and to remind
huntsmen of the necessity of taking
care Of what they had in forests and
streams. The possibility of obtaining
educational moving pictures was
pointed out and suggested Saturday
morning shows for children in both
elementary and high schools.
She stressed the need of proper
recreation for young people, through
the schools and churches, to make
our growing children proper citizens.
Mrs. Whitlock was introduced by
Mrs. F. A. Thayer. Preceding the
talk several items of business were
discussed, including a rummage sale
and card party. Mrs. Arthur Naylor
was named chairman of an entertain
ment committee with officers of the

carrying this substance which
touched off the Texas City blasts.
The report, citing five specific
arrangements of safety codes,
urged further study to determine
hazards" Of the chemical SUBJ

pold. who has spent % years in
prison for one of the nations most
sensational murders, says he is
grateful for a chance to hell sci
ence prolong human lives.
Leopold and Richard Loeb were
sentenced to the state penitentiary
in 1924 for the thrill" Staying. of
Bobby Franks. Loeb was killed in
a prison fight. but Leopold has
lived peacefully in the peniten-
tiary, working in the hospital and
library.
During the wal Leopold volun-
teered with more than 400 other
inmates to submit to malarial in
lection for medical experiments.
He has written about the ex-
periments in the Joliet-Statesville
Times, a monthly magazine pub
lished in the vocational school of
the Illinois State P~enitentiary.
Being present at the very birth
of new knowledge is a privilege
given to few people in the world"
he said. 1.-THE feeling that one has
been permitted to have a small
part in helping solve a grave med
lical problem is the source of more
solid, lasting satisfaction than most
of us have ever known BEFORE"
Leopold said the human guinea
pigs" were moved by unselfisl mo-
tives when they volunteered for
the experiment, despite reports
that executive clemency was being
considered for them.
What prompted the inmates to
support this program so whole
heartedly?" he asked. Malaria is
no Sunday school picnic.
"Men get very sick-sicker than
many have ever been before. They
have chills that make the whole
bed shake; temperatures of 106 and
1O7 degrees are common.

quently; the headaches, character
istic of Chesson strain malaria,
are unlike any others in the world,
and some of the drugs cause Sc
we're stomach cramps . just why
did these fellows let themselves in
for this?'
Leopold suggested the men were
prompted by patriotism, concern
for the 800, 600, 900 persons who suf-
fer from malaria each year, and
possibly the hope that they might
help save the lives of some of the
8, 600, 900 who otherwise would die
each year.
Eve didn't have much to lose,"
Leopold wrote. "The time lost from
our normal activities didn't matter
