mestic Relations Court will have ex-
elusive use Of the court building re-
Gently remodeled for it In the 100
block of North Patrick street..

peared at last nights council meet

building be devoted to use OF the

Court. City Manager Nicholas Cola
santo had sought to move the tax
assessor and the State driver per-
nit office to vacant rooms on the
first floor of the court building as
an economy measure.

purchased for them.

NORTH BEACH, Md, June 23.-
Opponents of legalized slot ma
chimes in Calvert County apparently
plan no counteraction to the free
dinners and bus fare refunds offered
yesterday by the Board of Trade
of this resort town as an induce
ment to voters to come here Monday
and participate In q referendum on
the machines.
When informed Of the plan de-
signed to attract to the voting
booths some Of the 500 North Beach
residents who work in Washington,
John c. Ward. president of the
Civic Organization of Calvert
County, declared:
1--WE don't buy votes
Mr.. Ward, a farmer who lives
near Paris, ~ miles northwest of
here, said his organization has "over
500 members" and is unalterably
opposed to the legalization of slot
machines.
"Legalization will lower the
morals of the county," he asserted.
I'VE are willing to pay taxes to
build hospital, if necessary, rather
than turn our young people loose
to gambling interests"
The first $250,000 raised by a tax
on slot machines would be set aside
for construction of a new county
hospital, under terms of the legisla-
ton authorizing the referendum
which was passed by the recent spe-
cial session Of the Maryland Cen
eral Assembly.
If a majority votes favorably, a
$3.50 tax would be levied on each
machine up to four. For five or
more machines the operator would
be required to take out q 81, 900 an
nual license and also pay individual
machine taxes.
Mr.. Ward said he did not know
whether his organization will be
able to station workers at all of the
county's 10 polling places during
the balloting from I am. to 7 pm.
He declared, however, that the group
is doing all it can to show people
they would not benefit by legalizing
slot machines"
Announcement of the free dinners
and bus fare refunds was made yes
terday by George Miller of Wash
ington, publicity representative of
North Beach, and Heber McWilliams,
Board OF Trade president. The Of
fer was made only to voters at the
local precinct.

Nearly 100 Sleek,
Grovity-Powered
Cars Inspected

A fast hotly contested series o1
heats in Saturdays Soap Box Derby
was predicted today by racing Of
ficials, after inspecting the first
group of midget cars turned In at
the National Guard Armory.
Nearly 100 of the sleek, gravity
powered cars were checked last night
against the rigid construction spe-
cifications laid down by the All
American Soap Box Derby Com
mittee.
The huge floor Of the Armory was
a swarm Of activity, as Inspection
Committee members, cars, anxious
race drivers, proud parents, inquisi-
tive younger brothers and sisters
and drilling National Guardsman
mingled in one great panorama.
Heartbreak for Some.
1t was scene of temporary heart
break, too, as some drivers were told
their cars would not pass. But each
contestant was advised on how re-
pairs should be made, tools were
furnished him, and, in most cases,
the vehicle was wheeled into the
approved" area before the session
ended.
Drivers will have until Friday
night to redesign their cars In ac-
cordance with the rules, which were
written primarily to assure safe
race for drivers and spectators.
Although cars were covered with
everything from oilcloth to alumni
mum, nearly all Of them followed a
sharp, "tear-drop' design.
The alnost-universal swing to
sharp streamlining was explained
by Donald Meyer, 13, of 57l0 North
Twenty-fifth street, Arlington. He
said he didn't get anywhere when
he raced in 1916 with a "junky
bulky old thing"
"A Real Speed Buggy"
This year I have real speed
buggy" said Donald, as he caressed
his low-slung. aluminium covered
racer. An almost identical car was
entered by Donald's brother, Joseph,
H..
1.-THE racing fever has swept our
neighborhood," said the boys father.
Linwood Meyer. who said he was
closing his business on Derby day.
Two Of his trucks, he said, would
bring members of Donald's Boy
Scout troop to the race course. The
Scouts, who will root for a boy
Scout victory" will be part OF .
crowd which officials estimate will
number at least $4,000 persons.
Designed Like Tank.
One Of. the most unusual cars TO
be trundled onto the floor was that
built by william Swami, 13, Of the
German Orphan Home. His entry,
which he predicted would carry him
to the city championship, was de-
signed in the likeness Of an Army
tank.
His vehicle was at first disquali-
fed by judges. who said it was 4
pounds overweight. Under the rules
combined weight Of car and driver
cannot exceed $50 pounds. George
w. T. Christman, superintendent OF
the home, advised william to re-
move a section of pipe covering a
steering cable. The car then swept
through the inspection line.

by boys from the home williams
car is red and is decorated by q
red devil painted on a splash OF

slogan Of the five contestants.
