Memory Of
Former Resident
HOnOred By Oak

A red oak tree in Memory Lane,
Mount Odin Park, was recently
dedicated to the memory of DR..
Lemuel Offutt, Greensburg, Pa,
physician, a native of this county,
who died on March 25th, 1918. DIR.
Susan Offutt Edmonson, in accept
ing the tree for the family, re-
marked about the suitability of the
site located as it is on slope over
looking Greensburg, the scene of
her fathers arduous and earnest
medical service. She stressed the
appropriateness of tree as a me-
mortal to her father, telling of his
love for great, old tree at his for
mer Maryland home. She whimsi-
cally recalled some of the honey
pieasantries and individual char
acteristics of this outstanding citi-
zen, physician and thorough going
gentleman.
The Rev. Eugene G. Slep, pastor
of Westminster Presbyterian
Church, which DR.. Offutt attended,
gave the invocation and benedic-
ton. The oak was presented by the
Woman's Club of Greensburg as
living memorial.
The dedication address was by
DR.. John W. Fairing who said,
"The heritage of the past is always
with US. 1t is good to pause and
remember those who have gone be-
fore us but whose influence remains
with u.s."
DIR. Offutt was born May 8, 1851,
at Jamestown. His early education
was at the Andrew Small Acad-
envy. He read medicine under the
late DR.. Charles Nurse and DIR.
William Waters of this county. AZ
ter this preparation he entered the
University of Maryland and was
graduated from the School of Medi-
cine in May, 1875. He practiced
medicine for AZ years, all but nine
of these years were spent in the
service of residents of G1eensburg
and surrounding communities.
DIR. Offutt married Miss Sarah
Dukes of Jamestown. They had
four daughters: Mrs. James Ruff
ner, DR.. Susan Offutt Edmonson,
Mrs. Charles Miller and Miss Rose
Offutt.

"Old Corner Drugstore"
No Longer Quiet Or
Safe AS Boy Is Hit

Charles Clifton Stallings, recent
graduate of Gainesville high school,
was struck by an automobile oper-
ated by a girl under driving in
struction while he was sitting on
the front step of drugstore this
past Tuesday in Woodlawn.
The car was said by police to
have been driven by Miss Jane
Lewis Purnell, 625 Gwynn Oak
avenue, Baltimore. Miss Purnell
attempted a right turn into Gwynn
Oak avenue from Windsor Mill
road while travelling west. The
auto continued to turn and smash
ed into the corner drugstore, say
police, knocking down an iron rail
and damaging the front marble
doorstep. Stallings, who was rest
ing on the step, suffered abrasions
of the right ankle. He was taken to
West Baltimore General Hospital
by the Gainesville ambulance and
returned to his home at 20O6 Alto
Vista avenue, Woodlawn, the same
day.
Miss Purnell was accompanied,
according to law, by a licensed
driver, Richard Flavin, Jr., of $40
North Hilton street, Baltimore.

Silver Spring rang up its fifth
straight victory in the Montgom-
cry County Baseball League by
shutting out Morningside 7 to 0
behind the three-hit pitching of
Bill Gilfer, who struck out ten men.
Other games played on Sunday
throughout the League found Coles
vile continuing to press Silver
Spring for League leadership by
beating Cissel Saxon to for its
fifth victory. Brother Love, who
pitched for Colesville, and Ed
Schrider, Cissel Saxon's most eff
fective pitcher, were both in rare
form, but the breaks in the game
were in Colesville's favor and Love
had what it took when the pressure
was on.
Greenbelt moved up in the
Leagues standings by beating
Sandy Spring to 0. Pete Labukas
limited Sandy Spring to total of
seven hits and struck out twelve
men. Peter, who pitched for Sandy
Spring, allowed nine hits, but his
mates were guilty of making four
errors while the Greenbelt Ball
Club committed only one miscue.
Lou Tierney was the "Big Gun" in
the Greenbelt offense and garnered
triple and a single to drive in
three runs.
Bethesda moved up to fourth
place in the Leagues standings by
winning its third successive game
in a well pitched to shut ont
over Potomac. Charlie Pugh, the
winning pitcher, gave up only three
hits and famed fourteen men in
the process. Anso Ball, who pitcl.l-
ed for Potomac, had all of his
trouble in the first and second inn
ings. After allowing five runs in
the first and one run in the sec
ond, Ball settled down to go the
rest of the route without any diff

Gaithersburg won easily over
Rockville by score of to 8. Jack
Carney, the Rockville pitcher, did
not have the form he showed two
weeks ago when he beat Colesville
for the only loss it has suffered so
far this season. The Gaithersburg
Club showed Carney no respect
whatsoever by knocking him out of
the box in the seventh inning witt.
a four-hit barrage which netted
Gaithersburg three runs to put the
game on ice.

Md. Sales Tax
Catches Stores
Unlicensed

Maryland's $4,000 retail dealers
began collecting 2 per cent sales
tax on Tuesday. About $4,000 of
the merchants, still waiting for
their licenses, were ordered to be-
gin charging the levy even though
a State regulation forbade collec-
lions without a license. Walter
E. Kennedy, head of the newly or
ganized Maryland Retail Sales Tax
Division, announced late Monday
evening that if a dealer had shown
good faith" by applying for a
! license he would not be penalized
for collecting the tax. Others
would, he said.
In Baltimore at the tax division
headquarters, a block-long line
continued throughout Monday,
when thousands of Maryland deal
ers suddenly became conscious of
the law.
The beginning of the sales tax
collection comedies with the i'm
position of an additional one cent
a gallon tax on gasoline, boosting
the State tax to five cents a gallon,
and increasing the total Federal
and State tax on gasoline in Mary
land to Ga cents.
The sales tax, first in Maryland's
history, is levied at the following
rate:
1. No charge on sales under nine
cents.
2. One cent on sales from nine
to so cents, inclusive.
8. Two cents from 81 cents to 81.
4. One cent additional on each
so cents of price or fraction
thereof in excess of 81.
The law exempts the following
items from the sales tax: Food in
home use; prescriptions of physici-
ans or medicines compounded by
druggists; amusement tickets;
transportation and communication
services; advertising space; new or
used motor vehicles; crutches and
other artificial appliances; sales
to the State or it's political subdi-
J visions; gasoline and liquid fuel;
professional insurance or personal
service transactions; live stock,
poultry feed; sales to other manu-
facturers, producers, wholesalers
or retail merchants for purpose of
resale, and sales to persons operat-
ing a nonprofit religious, charit-
able, scientific, literary or educa-
tional institution.
A companion measure to the
sales tax is the fuse tax" which
also became effective Tuesday.
This is intended to catch Maryland
4, residents who buy items out of
the State for use in the State.
Such persons are required to re-
port their purchases and pay the
sales tax under threat of a maxi1
mum penalty of $1,000 fine and one
year in Jail. However, the mech
anics of this use tax have not yet
been made very clear to the public.

The wonder of Late City Edition.
is that no newspaper staff has
thought before of producing book
like it.
Here, in % chapters, each with a
different author, is all any one
could want to know about news
paper and how it is produced. Here,
as City Editor Joseph H. Herzberg
describes it, is the detailed story OF
"Thucydides sweating to make a
deadline."
Late City Edition" was designed
originally as journalism textbook.
AS such, it ought to make a good
one. It isn't theoretical, clinical or
dogmatic nor does it suffer from the
ne-point -of-view blight that makes
some writer's on the subject of news
papers view certain jobs with loving
eyes and others with skepticism.
The writing has lilt, even lyricism,
for no one can be quite so rhapsodic
as a newspaperman talking his own
brand of shop and here are 20 news
papermen doing that very thing.
The chapter headings will give you
an idea: The city room, described by
City Editor Herzberg, who knows his
subject for he advanced to that posi-
ton on the Herald Tribune after
starting as one of the papers copy
boys; the cub reporter, as described
by cub reporter, the police reporter,
the general assignments reporter,
the girl reporter, the city hall re-
porter, covering politics, the Wash
ington bureau, foreign reporting, the
reference library, the science report
er, sports, business news, the obitu-
ary, the rewrite man, the copy desk
and on and on.
No detail of newspaper operation
is neglected and yet each is told
with style leavened not only by
enthusiasm but with a generous
