The postman up around the
heart of the agricultural section
had barely made his rounds, when
cur telephones began to ring with
identifications. For one, Mrs.
George Cite called and said the
barbership was the old Selby Shop
and the man-in-the-chair was
Herman Briggs.
Best news of all, however, came
from Mrs. Leroy Benson, also of
WgAithersburg, who gave US first
hand information on the old tom
serial parlor of another day.
In the first place, the shop was
operated by her father, the late
Eden Selby, affectionately known
ground Gaithersburg as "Unc!e
Eden " 1t was opened on Dia-
mond Avenue in 1898 where the
Center Market now stands. On one
side was a harness shop = with
it's good, sweet smells of fine
leather. On the other side was &
small chinese laundry.
Those were the days when the
local beaux kept their own shaw
ing mugs, complete with their
names upon them, in Uncle Eden's
shop, and hair cuts were 20 cents.
shaves a dime, or "the works"
could be had for 25 cents.
Mrs. Benson said she used to
carry her dads lunch down to the
shop in a small basket = and
sometimes = his supper too. Uncle
Eden's shop was open from seven
in the morning until nine at night
nd he wasn't the kind of man to
ehtrust the hair and chins of Gal
thersburg to other hands.
Over the barbershop mirror in
the picture published last week was
shown an old fireman's helmet.

publican nominations to- Congress
from the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict.
Four other potential nominees
for the COP bid for the seat of
Rep. j. Glenn Beall have filed also.
They are John D. Markey, Fred
erick County; George NJ. Moore,
Silver Spring; State Senator De-
Witt S. Hyde of Montgomery and
State Senator David K. McLaugh-
lin of Washington County. State
Senator Robert B. Kimble of AL
legany has also been mentioned
prominently as potential candid
ate.
Mr.. Lang has made two previous
attempts for congressional office.
A county resident for thirty years,
he made the try in 1888 and again
in 1912.
One plank in his platform is
made up of plan to return all
of Washington above M Street to
the State of Maryland.
Mr.. Long would have a State
referendum voted on to decide
whether the section of the national
capital which he advocates return
ing to the State would be a part
of Montgomery or Prince Georges
Counties, or set up as a separate
subdivision of the State.
Further, he would have the RFC
set up a fund to lend money to
merchants who would be forced
out of business by the transfer.
No estimate of the ultimate cost
of the "big return" is presently
available.

WOMENs LEAGUE TO THE FORE

ONE LEAGUE TO TIL FORE
ANEW PUBLICATION, The Womens League, pub
Hshed by the organization of that name has made its appear
ance on the scene. This was-an extremely wise move on the
part Of the League, for after all is said and done, an organi-
cation with its own organ can reach it's members most effec-
lively, and keep the public informed Of what it is doing, and
can make itseRfelt in numerous ways.
IN THE Virgin Islands where clubs, groups, organiza-
tionS and what have you bloom suddenly and drop out Just
as quickly, it is most gratifying to see the Women's League
IS holding its own, and making significant progress to the
point where it publishes its own organ.
ONE NATIONAL magazine uses as its motto that the
power Of a woman should never be underestimate, and how
true that isl The place ofwomen in the life Of the nation can
not be overestimated, and the same is true for these Islands.
For some unexplained reason the women of the community
never saw fit to organize and bring their genius, power and
Influence to bear in an organized manner till now. Enough Of
power Of the hand that rocks the cradle is known not to re-
quire repetition here. Suffice it to say that these islands will
be better off because its women have seen fit to become a
working, organized unit IN the community
H AVIS JOINS everyone else in congratulating the
Women's League on the introduction Of its organ with the
hope that the paper will continue, and serve to carry the in
fuence Of the League even further. 1t is noted that the motto
Of the League IS devotion to civic improvement. This IS as
ambitious as it is a worthy cause, and much thought, plan
ming and work will have to go into bringing reality to this
motto. There is much civic improvement to be done, and the
League, comprised Of those members Of the community who
are not only visionary but practical seem to- be the best quail
fed to undertake this task.
THE LEAGUE, with its paper at its command can more
effectively carry its efforts to communities where it operates
Our best wishes for long life and much success
