Mldew in Florida
Mrs. E. F., Laurel


I lived In Florida for Is
years and suffered no damage
from mildew. At least twice
a year on hot sunny days we
emptied the closets entirely,
hanging all contents outdoors
in the sun and vacuuming the
closets. Then we used the jar
which is attached to the blow
ing end of the vacuum cleaner
and fllinT it with moth crys-
tails and closing the closet
door as nearly shut as the
vacuum cleaner hose would
permit, we let the fumes fill
the closet.
We took care never to hang
dirty or damp clothes in the
closets. In summer we stored
furs at a large department
store and hung out-of-season
clothes in moth-proof bags. If
there was a long rainy season
and green mold formed on
shoes. pocketbooks or luggage,
we waited for a hot sunny
day. wiped these things with
a clean dry cloth and put
them in the sun for a while.
This was in Jacksonville.
An Army wife who lived in
south Florida told me that her
landlady gave her this advice
and I follow it here in Mary
land in my sons closets where
they are apt to toss tennis
shoes, leather athletic equip
ment and jerseys: A quart jar
half-fllled with moth balls and
left open, standing in the
closets, prevents odor, damp
ness and mildew.

Pregnancy Held
Immuteriul to
Abortion Guilt

A person can be guilty of abor-
ton charges even though the
woman was not pregnant at the
time Of the illegal surgery, the
United States Court Of Appeals
for the District of Columbia ruled
today in upholding the convic-
ton Of Dr.. Henry L. Peckham, jr.
DR.. Peckham had been SEN
tenceed to sevre 20 months to 5
years after his conviction several
months ago on charges Of per-
forming an illegal operation on
a 28-year-old female former
Marine.
On appeal. Defense Attorney
Albert j. Ahern. jr., argued that
the trial Judge had erred in in
structing the jury that it was
immaterial whether or not the
woman was pregnant, If at the
time the defendant believed she
was pregnant.
In upholding the charge, the
appellate court cited the District
abortion statute as referring tt
"any woman" and emitting any
reference to pregnancy.

which he said:
"The purpose of this letter Is
to call your attention to the re-
ported situation with reference
to the State Roads Commission
of Maryland. I know this matter
is of great concern to you as II
is to all the citizens of our
State.
with so many rumors being
circulated, the prestige Of the
State Roads Commission is be-
coming lower and lower, at the
same time many perfectly good
public servants and citizens as
well are being slandered and
criticized. I feel in fairness to
everyone concerned that some
thing should be done about the
situation at the earliest possible
date"
Senator Golstein has said the
Legislative Council would need
funds to hire experts, who would
make the actual investigation
of the SRC. The roads probe
bill, defeated by one vote In the
State Senate last March, would
have appropriated up to $4,000
for fees Of such experts.
