Ocean City, Nd, August 12.-The
sad drowning Of Charles R. Bliss on

varying side currents, and an increas-

JEWISH YEAR $500.

FALL HOLY DAYS WILL OCCUR
EARLIER THAN USUAL THIS
YEAR.
Rish Hashana, the Jewish New
Year. will fall this year on Tuesday.
September 3, which is a somewhat ear
lier period in the Fall than the date
on which the holy day usually oc-
ours. IL will be followed a week later
by Yom Kippur. the Day of Atone
ment, which is the great Jewish fast
day, and this again is followed in a
few days by the Feast of Tabernacles.
As the approach of this holy day
season Is marked by special prepara-
tions in the Jewish household. there
will be an earlier home coming of
Jewish families from seashore and
mountain than would otherwise be the
case. Already there is a noticeable
preliminary activity in the Jewish
congregations. Meetings are being
held for the sale and rental Of seats
in the synagogues during the holy day
season: the services of officiating rab.
bis are being secured by smaller con
gregations, which have no permanent
minister, and the various Jewish
houses of worship are being renovated
and frightened up for the approach
ing high holy days"
In addition to services which are
conducted at the established syna.
gogues. special services will be held
during this period at other places.

ROLLED TABLEcLorHs.
Folds Must Not De Seen In the

The really up to date housekeeper
nowadays never folds her tablecloths.

said the incest little woman in the
world the other day. "Those ereases
are simply fierce, but it was folded by
mistake, and Nellie doesn't think folds
matter. So she got it on the table, and
when 1 discovered it there was no time
to change"
We assured her that no creased linen
could mar for a moment our joy in her
salads and croquettes, to say nothing
Of her company. But where do you

PROPOSED NoRMAIaaeHooL,

AN IMPORTANT EDUCATIONAL
SUGGESTION FOR THE EAST
ERN SHORE.
Easton, Md, Aug 12.-Dr. c. w. Reid,
president Of Washington College, Ches-
tertown, is in Talbot this week in the
interest of his college. DR.. Reid has
a plan which will probably be brought
to the attention of the General Assem-
bly, next Winter. He will ask for an
appropriation to erect large and we'll
equipped school building on the col
lege grounds as an annex thereto.
turning over the building recently
erected as a girls department Of the
college to the uses of the college gem
erally, as much more room is needed.
The proposed new building will be
much larger. and the purpose is to fit it
out thoroughly in every particular as
a model school building for girls and
young women to add normal depart
ment to it. and eventually, and per-
haps quickly, make it normal school
for the Eastern Shore for the instruc-
tion of women and men who expect to
become teachers. What state appropri-
alton will be required to erect the
building and maintain the school is
not suggested, but educators and bust
ness men interested in educational
matters are considering the propriety
land feasibility of such a venture. An
Eastern Shore normal school may not
be a necessity, but it would be very
great help in these days, when the
feeling is SO much abroad to check the
radical tendencies in school work and
run it on conservative lines.
Chestertown, with its Washington
College, is a good place for an East.
ern Shore normal school. If the Shore
has had an educational centre in al
these years since the revolution, it is
in Chestertown. 1t is fair to say about
Dr. Reid, whatever one may think O
his Eastern Shore normal school plan
that he is somewhat of a theorist il
his plans, but eminently practical II
carrying out whatver goes under hii
executive management. Washington
College has prospered under his ad
ministration. =.

Regular Republicans and Union Re-
publicans can never get together while
J. Edward Addicks remains in the
senatorial field or poses as a political
leader. They may discuss the question
OF responsibility for disruption, but
that will not mend matters. 1t is the
purpose of a large and influential body
OF Delaware Republicans to prevent Mr.
Addicks from securing a seat in the
United States Senate. There Is an
other large body Of Republicans fully
