day at a roll-call opening the
American Legion Boys Camp on

cry County.
Camp Director Douglas c.
Rossignol. organizer of the prof.
ect for boys, said that one OF
the 81 youths who signed up
for the venture brought his g.
Iyear-old brother with him.
Although the camp is re-
stricted to boys from 10 to IA
years of age. ofiicials let the
little kid" stay.
He had a tear in his eyes
when discovered and we just
didn't have the heart to send
him home" Mr.. Rossignol said
"As for the other extra head,
we don't know where he came
from, but we want him anyway
and he is going to stay with US. u

Burro Business Bo|ks,
Brought Woe to Wroe

An Arlington man is closing
out a brief but memorable ven
ture into the burro business.
Robert Wroe. 81, bought IA OF
the small pack animals in Mex
leo and then hauled them into
this country in a trailer for sale
as pets.
The burro market is brisk, he
reports, once you get east of the
Mississippi River.
Mr.. Wroe and his family had
been living in Mexico while he
studied business administration
and foreign trade at Mexico City
College under the CT bill.
After graduating last June, he
began buying burroS-at about
$3.50 a head-from the natives.
The animals. he said, are in de-
mand at ZOOS for lion food.
Mr.. Wroe bought a trailer and
expanded it after measuring a
nurro. The animals, he said.
are watch-pocket high. about 3
feet long and 10 inches wide.
Five weeks ago. Mr.. Wroe. his
wife. then pregnant. their two
children and the small herd of
burros arrived at the Mexico
Texas border.

were checked through at a cost
lof about $50 head-and after
an eight-day delay.
The wait was required while
blood samples from the small
donkeys were sent to the Dis
Itrict and reports returned on
them.
Mr.. Wroe said that his trav-
cling companions aroused con-
siderable interest throughout
the trip here, but drew no Gus
toners until they crossed the
Mississippi.
With the trailer appropriately
marked. 10 of the burros were
sold at 500 apiece along the

the city.
Referring to story published
last Tuesday that construction
of the Annapolis building had
been delayed, Mr.. O'Donnell
noted that reference was made
to the Departments of Educa-
ton and Welfare as occupants
of the building.
These departments were in
the building initially, but were
dropped and re-assigned to the
Baltimore Office building by the
Board of Public Works in April
of 1856" he said. This, contrary
to the article, is a definite re-
versal of action taken officially
by the Board of Public Works"
The board is made up of the
Governor, controller and State
treasurer.
Gov. McKeldin released the re.
port without comment.

The second Sunday in Lent
was observed at the Cathedral
Church Of st. Peter and st. Paul
by an evensong service. the
theme of which was lamentation.
The music was fresh and chal-
longing, either because 1t was
new, or because 1t was relatively
unfamiliar.
The most effective music of
the day was heard In psalm by
the Dutch master, Sweelinck,
and in a short. responsorial an
them by the contemporary Will
liam Walton.
The Chamber Chorus Of Wash
ington was heard. in the setting
by Thomas Tails Of the lamenta-
tons of jeremiah. While not as
large in scope nor as penetrating
as the setting by Lassus, the
Tails version is excellent music,
and was very well sung. The only
criticism I have Is that there was
too little variation In the dynamic
shape Of the phrases. This led to
a certain monotony Of effect, in
spite Of the fine information and
vowel quality throughout, and

(the possible relationship Of to-
bacco to lung cancer) showed
that all but l.3 per cent Of the

DIR. Graham said the statisti-
cal relationship was confirmed
by IL other studies In four diff
ferent countries based on more
than 5000 human cases of lung
cancer.
In a study published in 1858,
he said cancer was produced in

He cited the production Of ex-

|R.-A Michigan Congressman
yesterday urged the use of the
boycott as q means of crushing
racial barriers in the South and
promised Northern support of
such measures.
Dem ocratic Representative
Charles C. Diggs Of Detroit made
the statements at the closing
session Of the Southeastern
regional conference of the Ma

vancement Of Colored People
here.
The Negro representative said
he is convinced "of the effective
ness Of the boycott-type measure,
especially in Montgomery" He
referred to the boycott Mont
gomery tAla.) Negroes have APP
piled to that city's transit sys-
tenn.
Mr.. Diggs promised support of
such an economic boycott of
Southern businesses by the
NAACP Of the North.
II a Southern firm with Of
fees in the North discriminates
against the Negro, Mr.. Digs de-
|;lared. then the NAACP can bring
pressure against it.

said. Don't buy where you can't

that cigarette smoke contains a
factor that will produce cancer
in experimental animals of un-
related species" He and his
staff had produced cancers in
four strains of mice in recent
years.
DR.. Graham said these studies,
combined with strong statistical
evidence of a causal relationship
between heavy cigarette smoking
and lung cancer" constitute
about as strong evidence that
cigarettes can cause lung cancer
as can reasonably be expected. q
Exceptional Cases Noted
However" he said, "it should
be stated that. in exceptional
cases, cigarettes are not the
cause Of the lung cancer. but
that other factors are operative"
and in some cases "the cancer
producing factor In cigarettes
may be working with another
cancer producing factor from

The peaks in two centuries OF
keyboard music were neatly
spanned in Warren Perry Thew's
recital last night at the Toutor-
sky Studios. Playing under the
auspices Of the Sunday After
noon" Music Club, Mr.. Thew's
program drew on the music OF a
large percentage Of the composers
who have not only written great
keyboard music, but have contri-
buted significantly to the devel-
opment Of piano techniques and
possibilities Of expression.
The list ran to etudes-there
were pieces with that title by
Chopin, Bartok, Rachmaninoff
and Debussy; and most of the
other works were etudes in eff
feet, provided with similar labels
or with fanciful titles suggestive
of their mood. Unquestionably
Mr.. Thew chose well, for at least
one of his gifts, amply demon
strated last night, is a marked
ability to play brilliant and diff
ficult music impressively.
Large resources Of power, en-
durance. and uncanny dexterity
are usually at his command.
Periodically Mr.. Thew's purely
digital strength. his disciplined
finger control are not unusually
great, nor is he particularly
careful or even apparently much
concerned with certain niceties
of pedalling, dynamics, or the
coordination Of subordinate ma
terialS.
