TIMONIUM. Md, Sept. s.
Maryland's State fair will gel
going in earnest today after
winding up a half week Of All
Club activities.
Judging in the open classes
for dairy and beef cattle will
start today and continue until
the fair closes Saturday.
Highlight in the All Club ac-
tivities was the annual parade
of All floats before the grand
stand yesterday and the crown
ing of the All Queen of the fair.
Miss Ann Elizabeth Duvall,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Her.
bert w. Duvall of Frederick
County, was crowned queen be-
fore several thousand onlookers
who jammed the grounds here
for the parade.
Shows Guernseys

eight years. She has shown pure
bred Guernsey dairy cattle at
previous fairs and also has been
active in other club projects.

days parade and will reign over
the remainder of the fair.
In the parade of floats, 43
clubs entered exhibits. In the
senior division the championship
went to the Senior All Council
Of Baltimore County. Their float
showed the importance Of keep
ing Maryland's roadsides clean.
The Randallstown Club took
championship honorS in the ju-
nior division. The RardallstoWn
float represented a huge water
wheel powered by the various
civic activities Of All Club mem
berS. The resulting force repre-
sented a reservoir OF power for
world peace.

Police Rush Drug From D. c.,
Save Dying Mother-to-Be

CHESTERTOWN, Md, Sept.
5 tP).-Medicine for treating a
rare malady threatening the life
of an expectant mother was
sped here from Washington
yesterday by a police relay team.
Doctors said Mrs. Margaret
Elborn. 39-year-old Sudlersville
woman, was suffering from pre-
eclampsia. or toxemia of preg-
nancy, which sometimes results
in fatal convulsions. It is a rare
condition peculiar to pregnancy.
If treated early the condition
can be easily handled, but Mrs.
Elborn's toxemia has developed
to the severe stage"
DR.. Thomas j. Scion of the
Kent Queen Annes Hospital re-
quested State police aid in locat-
ing two drugs, unitensen and SER
pas:l, to be used in an attempt
to reduce Mrs. Elborn's dam

Bandit Sought
In $4,000 Haul
AT Bank Door
Two Clerks Held Up
Bringing Receipts
For Night Deposit

Police were searching today
for rangy holdup man accused
of taking $4,000 in checks and
cash from two liquor store clerks
for whom he apparently had
waited at a bank door.
The clerks. David ALEX, 33. OF
l913 Hamilton street NE, and
Gilbert Faigen, 81. of 500 Green
lawn drive, Hyattsville, told
police the robbery occurred early
yesterday as they were at
tempting to place the money in
the night depository of the Riggs
National Bank, 900 F street NV.
They had carried the money
lin two paper sacks from the
Central Liquor Store. just
around the corner on Ninth
street. when the bandit, flashing
ia .32-caliber blue steel revolver,
changed their plans. the clerks
said.
Bank Trip Delayed
Police said the bandit may
lhave carefully ''cased" the liquor
store and the habits of the clerks
and lay in wait for them. This
is the story the clerks told:
They were delayed in their
usual visit to the bank after
Iclosing hours Saturday night
because one of the delivery trucks
| still was out with some of the
money.
Rather than leave the money
lin the store over the long holi-
day week end, they decided tc
wait. BY the time the truck
returned an hour and hall
later, it was after midnight.
Usually a policeman on the
beat keeps an eye on the bank
for late night depositors. But
since it was after midnight, he
assumed the nights visits had
ended and went elsewhere.
Ordered Into Lobby
After walking the short dis
tance to the bank, Mr.. Faigen
went into the bank lobby while
Mr.. ALEX remained at the front
door. 1t was then the gunman
appeared, ordered Mr.. Faigan
inside and took the bags from
the other clerk as he was about
to put them into the depository.
After ordering the victims to
the rear of the bank lobby, the
bandit left. The clerks said they
had expected to return tomorrow
to make out deposit slips, and
$50 had not determined the exact
Iamount of cash and checks.
The bandit was described as
about 80 years old, 6 feet / inch
tall. weighing about l80 pounds.
with a ruddy complexion. He
Twas wearing a blue sports shirt
and blue trousers.

Weather Guessers Check
Forecasts at WE 6-1212

persons have telephones here
than in most cities.
And, he added, you might
be surprised but Washington's
rush hours apply not only to
vehicular traffic but also to calls
for weather information"
The Z am. to $3.50 am. rush
on the number WE. 6-1212 is
terrific. The surge of calls flows
again just before people begin
getting off from work.
Anxious mothers want to know
how to dress their children for
school. They follow the hourly
temperature reports over the
telephone. Workers want to
know whether they can take
their friends or families out for
the evening without being
drenched.
The Weather Bureau teletypes
the forecast to the telephone
!company's building at Four
teenth and S streets NV. When
the forecasts come in, an alarm
rings and the chief telephone
operator takes over.
She assigns one of 20 specially
trained operators to take the
forecast and record it. The alarm
rings at about five minutes be-
fore the hour. The young lady
records it on the hour an |, gen.
orally, it is being poured out to
the public by five minutes after
the hour.
Complaints Are Few
Seldom" says assistant CHIEF
operator Mrs. Mary Anstead, "dc
we have complaints. There is
however. one lady who calls us
about the temperature every
time we are a couple Of minutes
late"
The girls who record the mes
sage must work fast. They are
allowed a maximum of 80 Sec
onds-that's the length of the
recording tape. In addition there
are occasions when the tele-
phone company adds to the fore
cast appeals for aid by the Red
Cross or the Community Chest.
Company policy bars nearly all
requests for help by other agen-
cies.
There just wouldn't be time,' -
says Mr.. Langbein.

Nearly everyone likes to pre-
dict the weather but thousands
of Washington area residents
check their guesses against the
expert opinions of Weather BIZ
reau forecasters by dialing WE.
6-1212.
Nearly 100000 calls were made
to that number on August IL,
when Hurricane Connie was ap-
preaching.
The automatic weather service
is run by the bureau and the
Chesapeake & Potomac. Tele-
phone Co.
In Washington, it, seems, a
greater percentage of the pop
ulation is weather conscious
than in other cities.
The telephone weather serv-
ice was begun here in Deem
ber. 1889, when the first year
showed a total of 10000 calls.
Calls Increase
Now. according to Fred w.
Langbein of the telephone COM
pany, 1854 showed an average
of $1,000 calls to the weather
exchange per day.
Compare this with the figures
for Chicago-last year this huge
metropolis with 3la million les
idents averaged only $1,000 calls
a day.
The Weather Bureau has ar
ranged with telephone COM
panies for automatic weather
service in only 10 Of the larger
cities. Aside from Washington
they are Milwaukee, Cleveland,
Chicago. New York, Philadel-
phia. Pittsburgh. Boston. Balti-
more and Detroit.
In Washington particularly,
the public has grasped this easy
aid for deciding what clothes to
wear, whether or not to take
an umbrella, and, indeed, some
times whether or not to drive
ones car.
