ORDER OF PUBLICATION
w. THACKARA BROWN, and
ESTHER K. BROWN, His Wife
VS..
HARRY ]. BLACK. or
his Unknown Heirs

MS Unknown Hers
No. 1888 Equity In The Circuit
Court For Washington County, Mary
land
The object of this suit is to remove
any cloud there may be on the title
of w. Thackara Brown and Esther K.
Brown, his wife, to certain property
known as Lot No. IA of Section IA
as shown on a plat of 1.-THE Heights
which plat is recorded among the
Land Records of Washington County
at folio SO, the said property being
on the East side of Mont Valla Ave
nue. in Hagerstown, Washington
County, Maryland, being the same
property acquired by w. Thackara
Brown and Esther K. Brown from
Modern Builders, Inc. by deed dated
November Is, 1916, recorded among
the Land Records of Washington
County, Maryland.
The Bill states that w. Thackara
Brown and Esther K. Brown have
been residents of Hagerstown, Wash
ington County, Maryland, for more
than one year, that they have re-
manned in possession of the property
from their acquisition of it to the
present date, that they have been adj
vised there is a possible cloud on
their title to the property, that this
possibility arises because of the fact
that the present owners claim title
through tax sale proceedings in
March, 1895, against Harry J. Black
who was shown on the tax assess
ment records of Washington County
as the then owner of the property,
that the tax sale proceedings indicate
service of notice upon ''the parties
by whom said taxes were to be paid"
but that the records of the Orphans
Court for Washington County, Mary
land, show that a man by the name
of Harry ]. Black had died on jan
uary Is, 1912
The Bill states that in spite of dill
gent search w. Thackara Brown and
Esther K. Brown have been unable
to ascertain whether the Harry J.
Black who died on January IS, 1912
was the same Harry J. Black who
owned the property involved in these
proceedings nor have they been able
to ascertain whether the Harry J.
Black who did own the property is
still alive or if deceased, whether
there are any heirs, and if so, where
they might be located.
The Bill prays that this Honorable
Court pass decree establishing the
rights of w. Thackara Brown and
Esther K. Brown in and to the prop
erty and removing the alleged cloud
on their title.
1t is thereupon this 14th day of
October, 1850 by the Circuit Court
for Washington County, Maryland,
ORDERED that the Compliments
cause copy of this order to be in
serted in some newspaper published
in Washington County, Maryland,
once in each of four successive weeks
prior to the 10th day of November,
1850, and thereby give notice to Har-
ry ], Black or the unknown heirs of
Harry j. Black to be and appear in
this Court on or before the End day
of December, 1850 to answer the pre-
misses and show cause, if any they
have, why a decree ought not to pass
as prayed.

London Girl Is
Lonely White Queen
OF African Tribe

SEROWE. AFRICA-A pretty for.
mer London stenographer. now the
white queen of the black Bamang'
wato, is probably the loneliest wom'
an in Africa although she is sur
rounded by hundreds of her subjects
and many white people.
She is also aware that her mar
.riage to the Bamangwato chief has
brought to the fore the touchy ques-
ton of Britain's relations with the
non-white races Of the empire.
She is isolated because the Brit
ish have forced her husband to re-
turn to London and he cannot return
to his tribe for five years. Her iso-
lation Is increased because the
white colony Of Serowe will have
nothing to do with her.
The whites look down on mixed
marriage. At the towns few social
occasions they ~studiously ignore her.
She gets no invitations from them
and she has no white callers.
One young white couple who were
her friends and sometimes called
on her, have been transferred.
There was little doubt that the move
was officially inspired.
Her palace is a simply furnished
brick and mortar home on the out
skirts of the mud hut capital. The
house is surrounded by a high wall
of thorn trees.
She has a Bamangwato cook. but
does most Of the shopping herself.
She USES a 1949 automobile for such
trips.
The house has no electricity, al
though wired, and no sewage sys-
tenn. A battery-powered radio Is al
most her only line with the outside
world.
Although she is isolated and has
no friends, she Is determined to
stick 1t out until her husband can re-
turn. He made one short visit about
five months ago and will make an
other when their child is born.

turned to Fort Knox.
Gold bricks were machined into

major change in the gold ITSELF"
he added.
After the four-month job was fin
ished the gold was assayed to de-
termine any change in purity. The
navy reported no change.

NEW YORK-If you ever won.
dered how this land of ours got its
name America-it was a mistake.
The only known copy of a world
globular map printed in 1907. the
first to show the Western Hemis-
phere and to designate it "Ameri-
ca" vas put on sale recently.
The map was issued in April,
1907, just Is years after Columbus
made his discovery. It was made
by Martin Waldseemuller, a Ger
man photographer. It was Wald-
seemuller who made the mistake
and named this land America.
Many contribute the mistake to
his absorbing interest in Amerigo
VeSpucci. Later, so the story goes,
Waldseemuller realized Vespucci
did not discover the new continent.
and in 1916 he dropped the name.
1t was too late, however. for the
public refused to give up the name
which he had coined.
Map Cut From Wood
The global map was cut from a
single wood block and measures
9h by Is inches. 1t was designed
in twelve connected globular seq
ments. presumably to be cut out,
mounted on heavier paper and
shaped into globe form.
However. you wouldn't recognize
America from Waldseemuller's
map. It's shaped something like a
boomerang and is about a fifth Of
the size of Europe.
The map is assumed to have
been printed in St. Die in Lorraine,
but there is a possibility that it
was produced in Strassburg. a
famous center for wood cutting and
printing.
The map was the remaining item
and prize piece Of what was until
recently the worlds largest and
most famous private collection Of
early maps. In the last year the
collection was acquired by Hans
Kraus, dealer in rare maps and
books in New York.
Collectors Item
The collection numbered $4,000
items and was owned in its en-
tirety at n time by Franz Ritter

your solicitude, your diction is
not bad and some Of you talk
as IL you might have seen the

fact is that you belong to a gen.
Grafton that hasn't made the

live.
In the years since you left college
and did your bit in the arena OF
morals. horse sense, tolerance,
humility, patience and the kindred
virtues the show has proved some
thing of a major flopperoo. There
are no demands for an encore
Yours has been an age in which no
body has looked very bright. Ignor-
ance has had fun. Screwballism,
