given yesterday by DR.. Jack
Hoyert. University Extension
Service tobacco specialist, at the
university'S sixth annual To-

DR.. Hoyert said specialists
have developed from several
hundred tobacco varieties orig
inally used in the program about
seven promising Maryland types.
It is hoped that several of THESE
will pass final tests and help
boost growers incomes.
Yields Under Study
Yield results of the hybrids

White Mother
Held by IT'S
Racial Law

BALTIMORE, Aug. 2 (R.-
A 20-year-old Baltimore white
woman accused of bearing a
child fathered by a Negro was
charged by the grand jury yes
terday under a law passed in
IT'S.
States Attorney Anselm So
daro said he has heard of no
other case brought under the
State law, the constitutionality
of which has never been con-
tested. The law was recodified
in 1888. 1904. 1912. 1924 and
1899.
The statute provides a SEN
tence of 10 months to five years
in the penitentiary for "any
white woman who shall suffer
or permit herself to be got with
child by. a Negro or mulatto."
Bail for the unmarried de-
PENDANT. a high school graduate,
was set at 81 900.
The father Of the child is
married and has two other chill
dren. The young woman said
she met him at an East Balti-
more community club.
Charles F. Snyder, chief pro-
baton officer, took the case to
the States attorneys Office after
the young woman filed a COM
Iplaint asking that the father
be required to support the child.
The man later signed an
agreement to pay 81 week for
support until the child reaches
the age of ID.

Southern Maryland's average
tobacco yield of 300 pounds per
acre, which has remained con-

1400 pounds per acre produced
in the Burley belt of Tennessee

tor of the Agriculture Depart

When Buying Home
Check These Points

A prospective h o m e buyer.
would do well to make sure that
the electrical capacity of the home
matches his family's present re-
quirements and those of five to
ten years from now.
Here are five points to check:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS outlets
or plug receptacles of the proper
types should be conveniently
placed so that the need for the
octopus" cube taps inserted into
a single plug outlet is eliminated.
CapacitY-Each circuit should
be capable of supplying the fun
current for which it is rated. Also,
each circuit should have 20 per
cent spare capacity over and!
above the probable m a x m u m
load. On general purpose circuits
the normal load should not exceed
so per cent of rated capacity, so
that there is sufficient extra ca
pacity for temporary p or a b ] e
equipment.
Isolation-Each major automatic
appliance should have separate
and individual circuit.
SafetY-T h e wiring syste m
should be safe in that it complies
with the safety provisions of the
National Electrical Code.
Control-Switches and outlets
and other :'on-off'' controls are
positioned carefully and in suffi-
Gent numbers to fit the farnily's
living habits.

Work Started On
Million Dollar
Building At
GrambIing College

Grambling, La. Especially Con
tractors have started work on a
$1-million science building at
Grambling College.
Modern in concept and colorful
in character, the structure is be-
ing described by state education
leaders as possibly the most out
standing facility of it's kind among
Negro educational institutions in
the country.
1t will enable Grambling to Of
fer wide range of science courses
impossible in the past because of
limited space and facilities.
The structure was designed by
Van Os and Flaxman, Shreveport
architects, and will be erected by
Baton Rouge Contractor George
A. Caldwell.
Caldwel's contract calls for COM
pletion of the structure in 400
working days.
Designers of the project said the
building, whose exterior will be of
brick veneer and steel construction,
was drawn to harmonic with the
architecture style currently exist
ing on the campus.
The first floor of the 10000
square-feet two-story project con-
sists of botany, physiology, bac-
teriology, embryology, zoology, en-
tomology, micro-technique and gen.
eral biology laboratories. An ami
NAL room will complement the
physiology laboratory and a green
house is planned in connection with
the botany laboratory.
Organic chemistry, analytical
chemistry, food chemistry, physical
chemistry, general physics, heat,
optics, constant temperature and
two large general chemistry lab
oratories are situated on the sec
ond floor.
In addition, four research lab
oratories, 10 lecture demonstration
rooms, library and ready rooms,
staff and administrative offices
and a science lecture hall accommo-
dating 325 are included in archi-
tect's drawings.
Mechanically ventilated through
out, the science hall is air condi-
toned. The building will be con-
structed of concrete frame and
floors.
Walls of the building will be
fully insulated, floors of the lab
oratories consist of acid-resistant
materials, and terrazzo floors will
cover Hobbies and corridors. A
general masonry finish will be
placed on interiors.
