Landlords to

Montgomery County land.

possible steps this week to pro-
tect the forest cover on their
acreage.
The appeal came from A. ].
Pickall, State District Forester
stationed at Laurel, who also
warned that the destruction of
trees plays an important part in
the steadily falling water table
(Sub-soil moisture) of the area.
Forest conservation and water
conservation go hand in hand"
Mr.. Pickall said. "When forest
land is ruthlessly cut over and
no trees left, the land is open to
the devastating effects of rain
which washes away the top soil.
Then, too, most of the rain water
runs off down streams and on to
the ocean,"
Mr.. Pickall said that, in con-
trast, rain which falls on forest
land is retained for absorption by
the soil by trees, roots and leaf.

The District Forester urged
land owners interested in improv.

Safe Passing
Needs Plenty
ONenrROUd

How many feet of clear road
do you need to go around and
pass another care safely?
August G. Detlof, Manager of
the Club in Maryland, poses that
question for motorists following
a recent survey which shows
that improper passing is one of
the leading causes of fatal high
way accidents.
Ear too many drivers depend
upon their gas pedals to get
them out of dangerous situations
brought about by their failure to
allow enough passing time and
space" he declared.
Few motorists realize that at
so miles an hour they must have
1900 feet, nearly quarter of a
mile, to pass car in front travel
ing at 40 miles an hour, where
there is no Oncoming traffic. The
minimum safe clearance distance
must be doubled, at the same
speeds, when a vehicle is
approaching from the opposite di-
Tection.
Here are two further exam
pies.
'If there is no oncoming traf-
fic and you are driving at 20
m.p.h. and your speed is 10 m.p.h.
greater than that of the car you

That is the common kind Of

they lose much heat, they are
described as "only S per cent

The other main kind Of cleo

The electronS strike molecules of

molecules and making them glow.
Some indoor lighting is done
with fluorescent tubes. These
tubes are coated, on the inside
of the glass, with q chemical
which permits white, or cream
colored, light to pass through.
Small fluorescent tubes may be
only 8 or 8 inches long. but other
tubes have q length of several
feet. The diameter may be hardly
more than half an inch, or 1t
may exceed 2 inches.
A good fluorescent tube is at

rough way, we may say that 1t is
three times as efficient as light

The soft light of the fiuores-

The Senate drove today for
a fast showdown on a contro-
versial multi billion dollar hous-
ing bill.
Its main feature would au-
thorize another $4 billion of FILA
mortgage insurance-enough to
last a year at the present rate.
Its most disputed section. as
approved by the Senate Banking
Committee, calls for a vast
Democratic-proposed program of
public housing. 1t would au-
thorize construction of $4,000
units of low rental dwelling
space for the needy each year
for four years-540.000 units in
all.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton had asked only for $4,000
units year for. two years. and
Senator Capehart. Republican.
of Indiana announced he will
wage a fight to cut the bill back
to that level.
Senator Capehart predicted
the decision will be close, per-
haps by less than half a dozen
votes, and he said he expects to
win. The Senate agreed yester-
day to debate limits on the bill
likely to bring final action by
nightfall. The House has not
acted.
Another section calls for the
building of 10000 special design
public housing units for aged
residents. There was no advance
sign Of a fight over that one.
Another huge item would au-
thorize a $3.50, ,000,000 military
housing program, to provide
dwelling quarters for married
members of the armed forces.
The program is designed ulti-
mately to produce 100000 mill
tary housing units, but the
money is estimated by the Bank
ing Committee to be enough for
q third that many. Rentals from
the occupants would pay off
mortgages on these projects, a
feature which seemed headed
for row.
The bill also calls for a 500

Shooting Spree

To 3 Persons

In one of the widest shooting
sprees in Montgomery County
history, James H. Pierce killed
his wife, Cassie, and his STEP
daughter, Mrs. Helen Cook,
wounded his young daughter
Clarice, and then put a bullet
through his own head, on the
morning of Oct. ID, 1885.
The three women were in the
kitchen of the Pierce home on
Georgia Ave-, two miles beyond
the District line, when the killer,
"glassy-eyed and belligerent," en-
tered. Within a minute the mas
sacre began.
Mrs. Pierce ran screaming
from the house, collapsed and
died on the front lawn, shot in
the chest. The child, wounded
three times, also staggered onto
the lawn. Mrs. Cook was shot
in the back before she could get
away.
Clarice eventually recovered at

he was released but the six-week
prison diet of black bread had
reduced the missionary to a
serious state of malnutrition.
He had resumed his work in
Warsaw when, after the U. S..
entered the war in December
1871, he was taken prisoner by
the Germans. The first month
of his captivity was spent in
Polish political prison. From
there the minister was removed
to a German internment camp.
His treatment at the hands of
the Germans was amazingly
good. The Nazis provided a
ration of soup, potatoes, black
bread and peppermint tea, with
occasional allotments of meat,
margarine and marmalade.
Rev. Warfield and his family
were freed in the summer of
1912.
