ship Of both houses.
A movement to replace Miles as
treasurer became evident after re-
ports that Miles, a Democrat, was
believed to have voted with the
Republican administration too oft
en- on the Board of Public Works
matters. Other members of the
board are Republican Gov. Me
Keldin and Democratic State
Comptroller J. Millard Tawes, both
Of whom were reelected.
The State Treasurer is elected
by joint ballot Of both houses of
the Legislature for term of four
years. Miles, first chosen in 1885,
is rounding out his fifth term.
Possible successors mentioned
were Lansdalc G. Sassccr and for
mer Gov William Preston Lane,
Jr.
\ total Of 1l5 Of 1872 elected
members registered for the legis-
lative bricfing. They were given
detailed explanations Of legislative
rules and procedures.
\ big question mark in dealing
for leadership in the two branches
Of the legislature is Baltimore
City's large delegation. In the
House Perry Wilkinson, Prince
Georges; and Jerome Robinson,
Baltimore, appeared strongest to
contend with John Luber, Balti-
more, in his bid for reelection. A.
Gordon Boone, Baltimore county,
was slated for majority floor lead
ership.
In the Senate Layman Rcddcn,
Caroline; and John Grason Turn
bull, Baltimore, appeared to hc
chief opponents Of George Della,
Baltimore, in presidency Of senate
There has not been much talk Of
the minority leadership in either
the house or senate.

Winter Care
Increases Life
of Farm Machines

Many farm machines are now
standing idle, their work for the
season being completed.
"Too often these machines are
parked in the yard or in a field
corner awaiting the annual round
up, and sometimes they are even
left in the field through the en-
tire winter observes University
of Maryland Extension agricultur-
al engineer Guy w. Gicnger.
He thinks machinery would get
better winter care if more farmers
realized that equipment detcrio-
rates as much or more from wealth
cring action, rust and rot as from
actual use.
"A rooted storage space to
house equipment and protect it
from the elements is a good in
vestment," he says.
When machines are brought in
to the storage, they should be
cleaned and careful inspection
made to list necessary repairs and
replacement parts. Parts that are
ordered early will be delivered in
time so repairs can be made dur
ing the slack winter months. Last
minute repair orders often aren't
filled before the equipment is
needed for work, and result in rush
work.
When storing equipment make
sure that water has been drained
from the cooling systems Of en-
gincs and their sprayer tanks,
valves and piping. All polished

Assembly Battle
Seen For Leaders

Contests for leadership of both
houses Of the Maryland General
Assembly and the possible replace
ment of Hooper S. Miles after 20
years as state treasurer, have been
in the wind since the lawmakers

four hours "in class" learning the

Hill by election. He always

Taught indians in
Wild West Days
By corter Gorski

Miss Henriette Louise Dessez.
who spent three years in the
West teaching school on Indian
reservations and collected enough
memories to last her the rest
Of her 81 years. died here Mon
day.
She had outbluffed . noun
tain lion when her life was at
stake. ridden on q Stagecoach
when It was held up and went
several days into the mountains
chasing two truant Indian pupils
before she caught them.
She could ride and shoot (ex-
cept when she faced the soft
brown eyes" Of i deer) and had
q knack for keeping little IN
dams in the classroom. When
they got restless she adjourned
school long enough for every one
to do half q dozen turns in
high speed around the school
house."
Tracked Down Truants.
Once when two little Klamath
Indians played hockey, Miss
Dessez got their fathers and to-
gether they tracked them into
the Oregon mountains. The trip
lasted several days by pack
canoe. When they came to q
falls. the Indians told her,
White squaw get out. But Miss
Dessez's feet and ankles were
so swollen through her shoe
laces that she couldn't move.
White Squaw get drowned, z
the Indians told her, but she
shot the rapids with them any
way and survived.
The Indians called Miss Dessez
"the big tall lady in black" She
always wore black out of respect
to her father, Leon Dessez, a
Confederate soldier and French
engineer who died In 1895 just
before she began teaching among
Apache, Pimo and klamath
tribes.
The West had great respect
for q woman Miss Dessez used
to tell her family. And she would
illustrate this with the time she
was the only woman on q stage
coach in Arizona that was held
up by five men. She was carry
ing several hundred dollars in
gold coins and was the only pas
senger who wasn't robbed.
She used to tell about the In
dian who conferred in great de-
tail with her about setting up q
store. He would spend weeks
getting gold in the hills, ex-
change it for store goods, and
then give away everything off
his store shelves to other In
dams.
Only One Returned.
Only two white men offered
the storekeeper gold certificates
If he would show him where he
got his gold. He refused. The
two men followed the Indian on
his next trip into the hills. The
