H.Crady Gore
Is Probable
so Candidate

H. Grady Gore, Rockville real
estate man, and relatively new
figure in politics here, has an
nounced his probable" candidacy
for the Republican nomination to
the United States Senate.
He is expected to seek the seat
of Senator Herbert O'Conor, DEM
ocrat, whose term will expire next
year.
Cores announcement puts two
likely candidates in the Republi-
can race. ]. Glenn Beall, Repre-
sentative from Maryland's 9th
Congressional district, while not
having formerly filed for the NOM
nation, has indicated that he will
be a willing candidate should his
party encourage him to run.
Thus far, the only Democrat to
announce formally his intention to
run is Stephen B. Peddicord of
Baltimore, who has been running
COR various offices for many years,
Senator O'Conor has not yet made
statement as to his political in
tentions, but it is generally be-
lieved that he will seek to hold
his Senate seat.
Mr.. Gore, a native of Tennessee,
practiced law before entering the
,eal estate and insurance business.
He owns the Fairfax Hotel in
Washington, and his Gore Rea'
Estate Properties handles a large
volume of Washington and Mont
gomery County business. A reg
istered Democrat until recent
years, he broke with that party in
1884.
Mr.. Gore lives at Marwood, a
large estate near Potomac. He
is married and the father of two
sons and two daughters.

Driving Contest
with Prizes) on
At Miller Hughes

Want to win prize for finding
out how far you can drive Henry
J on a tenth of a gallon of gaso-
inc?
Well, over at Miller Hughes
Motor Company, Kaiser Frazer
dealers in Rockville, a contest is
on. Local residents can go in and
drive one of those small, slick
slung jobs, with a small meter af-
fixed to the Windshield containing
he tenth-gallon of gas and find
out what good and careful fuel
consuming drivers they happen to
be.
Try-outs will be held between
September "a and October 6, be-
tween the hours of 3 and pm. At
the close of the contest, prizes will
be awarded to winners. Those
prizes shape up like this:
One hundred gallons of gas to
the winner; IL lubricating jobs,
and a Fextex job that is guaran-
teed out-of-this-world.
Running the contest is Bob Nc
Kenzie who, at this writing, holds
the cross-country speed record for
the Henry (plus lot of others) E.
He made it in as hours and 20 min
utes, with three stops for gas.
Mckenzie, a notwithstanding
hard and dirt track driver, is just
back from racing in the Labor Day
affair at Toronto and he can spin
some right raising tales about
the speed boys who fly around race
tracks at speeds too hot to be con-
templated by this somewhat speed
shy reporter.
Anyway, you can try out the

know some of the tricks to steering
car around. The man said SO!

Vice President of the United
States Alben w. Barley to stand
under the big Elms on the Court
House lawn.
And there were Senators there
too, and judges and lawyers and
State and County officials and
plain people and civic leaders and
hundreds of wide-eyed, healthy
looking youngsters who had
marched in straight lines from
school rooms - oh, nearly an hour
before - to hear the words that
were to be spoken.

What? No Tax Bill?
Taxpayers Needn't
Worry; Bills on
Way, County Says

Montgomery County taxpayers
who have not yet received their tax
bills are advised not to fret. They
have not been overlooked.
According to John B. Diamond,
chief of the Division of Revenue
and Disbursement, only 40 per cent
of the bills have been sent out. The
tremendous growth in the county's
population has made the Septem-
Der l deadline an impossibility in
recent years.
Regardless of when the bills are
received, taxpayers will be given
one month in which to pay, after
which time interest penalties of
one-half per cent per month will
be charged.
After March /, unpaid bills will
be declared delinquent.

Operators
License Is
Obsolete
Permit Not Granted
BY County Because of
Protection Deficiency

Montgomery County's largest
nursing home, where three aged
women were burned to death on
Tuesday, had not had it's license
renewed because Of fire protection
deficiencies, County licensing off
Gals said.
Renewal was due on September
l, officials stated but had not been
granted because fire officials were
waiting for protection deficiencies
to be made before giving their
okay to the permit. Licenses are
granted to such establishments
only after approval by health, fire
and sanitation Offices. ,,.e,
1t was denied, however, that the
deficiencies which held up the Ii
cense renewal were responsible for
the fire or for the loss of the three
lives at Mrs. Joliffe's Nursing
Home near Colesville.
Raging Inferno
Fifty-three aged and infrm were
at the Rest Home when flames,
which started in a closet, swept
part of the structure and turned a
haven of rest into raging inferno
for the shocked and bewildered
residents.
Those who died were Mrs. Au-
gusta X. Bashford, 80, who came
to the home from one in Washing
ton which had been declared UNI
safe just two months ago;
Mrs. Marie H. Douglas, SO, who
died while trying to save favor
lite easy chair from the roaring
flames;
Mrs. Lydia Margaret Gates, age
II.
When the dread call of "fire"
rang through the three-story build
ing that sits back a hundred feet
from the busy road, some of the
elderly patients we're sitting on the
wide tree shaded veranda. Some
were reading or talking, or doing
any of the dozens of things done
by the very old.
Mrs. Vivian Oliver, nurse, was
giving Mrs. Bashford, who died,

She ran into the next room and
saw the fire in a closet. No one
knows how it started.

lift, carry, assist and drag the be-

flames. Altogether, "a nurses and

weren't. They were hampered by

Farm Land
Here Goes
Suburban
Montgomery Farming
Vanishing, Agriculture
Report Shows

An accelerated standardization
trend in Montgomery County is
causing County farm lands to
shrink into faint resemblance of
former agricultural prominence.
According to the United States
Bureau of the Census and the Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station at
the University of Maryland, land
acreage from which crops are har-
vested have shrunken by 1913 per
cent in the last % years in Mont
gomery County and acreage of
land in farms has decreased by
AL per cent in the same period.
At the same time, the number Of
farms has decreased by better than
81 per cent and the total number
now in the County is 1855, the
Census Bureau reported.
Income Per Farm
While this trend goes on, reports
show that County farmers are SELL
ing produce at an average of &c.
931 per farm. In this respect,
Montgomery ranks fifth in the
State and is outpaced by Worces-
ter, $1O,296 per farm; Kent, $7,799;
Wicomico, 1920; and Talbot, &c.
967. The 2,977 farms in Frederick
County average sales of SIS, 402 per
farm and Howard County averages
$4,311.
While income per farm is fifth
high in the State, the value of land
and buildings per farm has in
creased 1874 per cent since 1925
and the value for land and build
ings per acre have increased by
1888 per cent. Montgomery is
knocked out of first place by the
smallest county in the State-Cal-
vert where value of land and
buildings per farm has increased
by 1914 per cent. Calvert has the
smallest amount of land in farms
and the least population of any of
IHC cOuHLleS.
More Telephones .
Other interesting facts about the
County explored in the report show
that 82.8 per cent of all farms own
automobiles; more than AZ per cent
own trucks and 58.2 per cent own
tractors. Better than 90.3 per cent
of the county's 1856 farms are
equipped with electricity, and more
Montgomery farmers have tele-
phones than in any other County in
the State. The report said that
75.4 per cent of the farms are
' equipped with this facility.
. AS farm lands decrease, farmers
here own 50 per cent fewer horses
and colts than they owned 25 years
ago, but cattle and calves have in
creased over 80 per cent. Fifty
per cent more cows are MIXED
