of the city's old Pennsylvania
avenue restaurants and cafes.
"Hancock's used to be across
the street." Mr.. Jacobson said.
You could go in and get the
famous Hancock Punch. But
unless you were pretty we'll
known-and your capacity had

the walters would serve you
only one.
"Shoomaker's, where the

just up the street. And the old

was nothing better than a
plate of steamed oysters there
after the show"

cts at the old ball park, and

THE old ball park was Moth

But" he added, sadly, "the

And he's convinced that

DR.. Edelen said. A few minutes
later he called for his mother,
who found him across the fence.
The boy repeatedly had touched
the fence previously, but COM
plained only that it stung, the
medical examiner said.
DR.. Edelen said the fence con-
tanned a charge of 81 volts
about the same voltage used on
cattle fences on farms. Medical
officials in Baltimore said such
IA charge would kill a person
under certain conditions"

Comdr. Allen Register. execu-
tive officer of the powder fac
tory. said the fence contained a
charge of 20 volts and / am
pere.
DR.. Guerin said from Balti-
more that the State would have
an electrician check the fence
and that he wanted to run fur
her tests on marks he found on
the boys legs, which he believes
are electrical burns.

evidence of IAN overwhelming
condition" in the boy. but be-

were robins. That's how much
we knew about birds them" said
Mrs Hickman who is considered
pretty much of an expert now.
Word about the Hickman pre-
serve spread. and before long
the Animal Welfare League heard
about it. The number of patients
and the size of the bird cages
have grown ever since.
The Hickmans aren't always
sure what they are getting into
when some one shows up with
a prospective member of the me-
nagerie. Cordelia named a peach
faced love bird" Pedro" but had
to switch it to "Pedretta" when
it laid IL eggs. A supposedly
male white rabbit became a
parent the other day. One of the
offspring was dubbed Elvis, be
cause he's so wiggly, of course. "
Travelling GOIdfinch
Little Joe is q multi-colored
goldfinch from Japan whose own
er, a Navy officer, decided it
wouldn't stand another trip
across country. The 6-year-old
bird suffered stroke on one of
its many travels and wound up
with Mrs. Hickman to end its
days.
The patients are turned loose
when they get we'll, but some
times they don't go far. Blacky
the crow is one they can't get
rid of. 1t was brought there as
a baby after two boys had taken
it out of nest. Blacky was
turned loose last winter, but he
wouldn't leave.
Hes an ornery bird-doesn't
have to get his own food, just
gets into devilment," said Mrs,
Hickman.
Some Won't Leave
Three baby 'possums whose
mother was killed by a dog had
to be fed with an eyedropper for
about a week.
Some Of the birds and animals
will never leave the Hickmans
"A squirrel whose jaw was in
jured by shot from a hunters
gun could not fend for itself. A
robin with broken wing can't
get a foot of the ground.
TITS very combining, the little
birds sometime have to be fed
every half-hour from early
morning to night" said Mrs
Hickman.
But she feels rewarded when
"a child clutching an injured
bird puts it into her hand and
can later see it on the wing
again.

President j. A. B. Broadwater
