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. Officers confiscated
36,836 pints of liquar worth
about $139,776, and collected
$92,760 in fines for illegal possession.
Bird Flight Studied
In Air Experiments
Starkville, Miss. (U.R) A man
who once trained and used a
buzzard in an aerodynamic ex
periment is now flying behind
buzzards and mnrsh hawks in a
sailplane to learn their secrets
of efficiency in flight.
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. Norcross, a full-time
Braille proof-reader and a con
cert singer as well as a house
wife. "Being blind is only an in
convenience." she explains. "I
don't consider it a handicap at
all."

Judge Receives Cheers
For 'Mercy' Findings
Cleveland, O. (U.R) A Cleve
