Because so many newcomers to
the town ask the significance of
the mural in the Rockville Post
office, it has been suggested that
we repeat the story used in
"Sidelights" of August %, 1910,
which ran thus:
While Sugar Loaf Mountain is
in Frederick, not Montgomery
County, it is visible to such a
large proportion of the County
that those of us who love the
hills lift our eyes to it many
times daily and think of it as ours.
AS a child we often wondered
why it was so called Sugar
Loaf = then in our study of Co.
lonial history we learned that
during those lean colonial days
sugar came in loaves or cones
weighing eight and ten pounds =
that suger shears were used to
cut it into Jumps and that one
cone was made to last some thrifty
families a whole year!
No doubt Sugar Loaf Mount
ain acquired it's name from some
lonely man who was reminded of
home by the resemblance of the
mountain to this cone of sugar,
into the making of which we are
told went, maple sugar and some
times honey.
Long before the coming of
Columbus, Indians held religious
rotes on the summit we have
read of the momentoes of them
found during the recent develop
ment of the estate.
We are told of the coming of
the Swiss Louis Michel from
Annapolis in 1907 = the earliest
map showing Sugar Loaf was
made by him many men have
searched the rocks for traces of
precious metals, tho we have
never heard of anything valuable
being found there.
z Just think what it must have
meant to the first visitors from
Annapolis and other low lying
points on the coast = a breath
taking view of parts of Virginia
and Pennsylvania as well as
Maryland just one vast will
derness in those days the Blue
Ridge Mountains across Frederick
Valley glimpses of the water
where the Monoeacy joins the
Potomac! fsa, IA
Much has been written of, the
part played by Sugar Loaf in the
Civil War = held first by the
Northern army - captured by the
Southern and later recaptured by
the Northern.
The present owner, Gordon
Strong, was attracted to the
mountain many years ago, when
as young man = he is now over
10 : he used to ride a bicycle
out from Frederick looking for
place to make his home. During
the years he acquired it, bit by
bit he calls his home at the
foot of the mountain Strong
hold".
We talked to Smith. Hoyle who
is an employee and we think
he said the tract now contained
over 1000 acres bat statistics
and dates roll from US like water
from a ducks back like the
little boy, we remember the date

Towel In Abdomen

San Mateo, Calf. = Bedridden
much of the time since the boirth
of twins by Caesarean operation
in April, 1916, Mrs. Lillian Arthur,
30, was recently operated on. The
surgeons found a towel, 10 by IL
inches, which bore the name Of
Bremerton hospital-the hospital
at which the twins were born.

done.
The tea table was lovely with
the lovely African violets and
forsythia. Mrs. Spates added
some extra luxuries to the supplies
the agent used in her demonstra-
ton.
GlenmOnt Plan Exhibit
That evening March 4th, Mrs.
Henry Rising and Mrs. C. N.
Xander of the Glenmont Club en-
tertained twenty six members.
This club also is planning an
exhibit for National Home DEM
onstration Week. Mrs. Frank L.
Roth, president, was proud of the
work her school committee has
done in securing the cooperation
of several of the husbands in max
ing cupboards for the Kindergar-
ten Room at the Glenmont School.
Members have made new supply
of stuffed toys for the children.
The hostesses had a real sur
prise for the agent for when it
was time to give the demonstra-
tion on Low Cost Entertaining,
they brought forth lovely dainty
sandwiches and cookies. The
table was beautiful with lovely
flower arrangement of spring
flowers, a st. Patrick motive was
used in the color scheme for the
tea. The appointments for the
tea were very lovely and added
much to the demonstration. .-...
April Demonstrators
Friday was a very busy day for
the project leaders were trained
for their April demonstration.
With the busy schedule of the
week, the agent had to stop, cook
and get her demonstration ready
for the one-thirty meeting. Mrs.
Henry Becraft loaned beautiful
bowls and her gay pottery dishes.
Miss McLuckie, assistant agent,
took over the setting of the
tables and flower arrangement.
BY noon half of the Court House
had dropped in because of the
fragrant odors. Newspaper men
begged for hand out and were
invited to come in at three and
share the buffet supper. Brooke
Johns dashed over for a bite just
at closing time.
The thirty-five project leaders
said that they felt the demon
stration on Low Cost Buffet Sup
pers would be of real value in
helping mothers to entertain their
teen age children and their
friends. Menus were planned
around farm produced foods and
prepared in way that would
appeal to young people.
Council Meetings Planned
The second week of March
starts off with the monthly meet
ing of the County Council. Mrs.
Howard Smith, President, has
asked as speaker Willard Sawyer,
who will talk on safety in the
Home. The Presidents will en-
JOY a covered-dish luncheon to
which they have invited Mr..
Johns. The final report on the
/. B. Clinic plans will be checked
at the business meeting. Plans
for Exhibits for the National Home
Demonstration Week in May will
be given to the President Of the
Rural Women's Short Course Club,
Miss Frances Wolfe, who is in
charge of plans for the week.

Woman's
World
By Nellie c. Jones

ANGAAAS ~ SA~
In this industrial revolution, we
note the change of home condi-
tions TO rthe woman and daugh-
ter. The relation of the daughre
to the home has likewise under
gone great transformation.
The daughters of comfortable
homes, defying tradition, and dis
contented with economic depend
live and the restraint of personal
liberty at home, r following the
departing domestic industries in
to the business world.
Higher scholastic education
promising increased earning pow
err and the satisfaction of intel
lectual and social ambition draws
crowds of such girls into colleges.
The professinos, by their assur-
ance of still greater earning pow
erfi of personal independence, of
opportunity for self expression
and for a real contribution to hui
man welfare, in the years between
1916 and 1913 attracted and in
crease to medical schools, schools
/ of dentistry, pharmacy, etc. There
is a similar gain in the proper
Itionate increase of women teach
ers.
Shops, offices and factories pre-
sent a nationwide problem in the
daughters of the working classes
crowding beyond enumeration tt
work there. Their cries for fail
wages, for decent conditions, fol
justice, for a share in the goot
things of life ring to heaven.
The women with their new
wages, increase their wants, slim
ulate manufactures and give pros
perity to the nation.

Injunction Dropped;
Moves into New Home

NEW YORK, Aug. 2. (ANP)
After months of waiting, Sam
uel Richardson, a Harlem mer-
chant, learned that he may at last
move into his new home bought
two years ago in a restrictive cove
mont area.
The New York State court of
appeals set aside an injunction by
a lower court which barred the
merchant from his new home, and
ruled in the light of the recent
U. S. Supreme court decision that
courts may not enforce racial re-
strictive covenants.
The Richardson family which
includes his wife, a daughter and
a niece will move into their new
home on 177th street as soon as
possible.
In making it's ruling the ap-

LONDON, Aug 2. (ANP)-I
British policy toward the various
darker races throughout the world
is creating more and more COM
munists because this policy is UNI
lust, unChristian and economically
unsound.
Throughout the world admins
tration in British colonies is the
story of white supremacy.
White Australians are frighten-
ed because of the pressure for ad-
mittance of darker races into the
country. In Sopth Africa the Ma
tionalist government promises a
greater segregation policy than
the country has had in the past.
In Africa the story is the same.
Even in dealing with the Chi
nese and the Arabs the British
are pursuing an anti-democratic
policy which may well drive free
dom minded peoples to commun-
ism as the only refuge.
The British in Africa, Austria
liza, Arabia and the Pacific area,
by s%uppressing and exploiting col
ored peoples, are creating more
than a billion allies for their en-
emies.
First, let us take the situation
in South Africa. In writing of the
educated natives or Kaffirs, South
African journalist Oliver Walker
explains what may happen in his
books, "Kaffirs are Lively" He
wrote:
"The governments calculated
side tracking or ignoring of the

has naturally enanced the attrac
tons of the community party.
"Comunism, Africans have
