Maryland Community Will Lose Railroad Washington (U.R) Historic Annapolis, Md., is due to become the only state capital in the nation without rail transporta tion service this spring. For more than a century the Maryland capital on the Severn River has been the terminus of one ef the oldest branch lines of the nation. The spur was built in 1838 w hen the Baltimore & Ohio opened its line from Baltimore to Washington. Expenses On Increas But the Baltimore & Annapoli? Railway company has decided thafftecreasing passenger reven ues and mounting operating ex penses necessitate the abandon ment of the shuttle line between the two Maryland cities. So in March the electric cars will trundle over the line for the final time. In recent years the railroad has found itself unable to compete with automobiles. Picnic parties which once used to go on outings to Chesapeake bay points over the branch line now take to the highways and commuters travel to Baltimore by bus or car. PARTLY DRIED UP Oklahoma City (U.R) Vice squad officers cost bootleggers about $232,500 to operate in this capital of dry Oklahoma last year. Police Chief L. J. Hilbert estimates.

Dr. August W. Raspet, direc tor of sailplane experiments at Mississippi Slate College, once j taught a trained buzzard to soar I carrying a tiny speed and height measuring instrument which weighed about an ounce. Shortly after he was well-trained, the buzzard died. In using buzzards. Dr. Raspet explained that they somehow managed to control air flow, or to adapt the shape or position of their wing tips to take advantage of air flow, "better than man knows hnw to do." Dr. Raspet said from them he hopes to learn the secret of wing tip adjustment to lessen resistance. Fixing Spark Plug Grows From Little To Large Business Warner Robins, Ga. (U.R) A few spark plugs are all right, In their place, but 13.000 spark plugs, every day, is too many. If you are ever in this part of the country, ask W. G. Gilligan. Ask him how many words can be made out of the letters in "spark plug " Ask him how heavy they are, how they feel, and what he thinks of them. Then run. That is. you should run if you don't want to get tapped on the head with a spark plug. There are 13.000 within his reach. Air Force Steps In It started when Gilligan and a few others decided they would re-process old spark plugs. "Not so hard then." says W. G. "Only had 3.000 a day." But then the air force decided to give him a little more busi ness. In November the Warner Robins air material area here was designated as the spark plug overhaul point for the entire ail force east of the Mississippi. "Ho hum," said W. G. as 10. 000 additional spark plugs began to roll in daily. Inventions Help He increased his staff to 90 workers, conferred with military authorities and even invented machines to help fix his 13,000 spark plugs. There is. for instance, a ma chine for gaping all four elec trodes of an aircraft machine at once. That is good. A hand "gaper" can only do 800 gaps a day. The machine docs 2.000. 3LINDNESS NO HANDICAP Concord, Mass. (U.R) Blind ness hasn't stopped Mrs. Made line B.
