ITEMS FROM BROAD CREEK
BIizzardOus Weather In The County

Cuttings By Capitals
Correspondent.

There is excellent skating on the
creek. A party of ysung psople from
Baltimore and this vicinity spent the
New Years day On tha crsek. They
sksted over to Riverview, the ice be-
ing SO firm. They built fires on the
shore TO warm by.
Moonlight nights add TO the enjoy
ment of the occasion, but they had to
keep in motion, else the intense cold
would freeze them.
The cold wave is worse than the one
of Dec. 10. 1917, which lasted nssrly
ten days. II Is dreadful TO Tead the
pspers and see the awful effects OF the
cold in New York and the want Of
coal. Ssd and pitiful is one case IN
New York, where baby froze in its
crib. while the father went for coal.

when blizzard Of great violence
visited the State At the time the
writer was living in Charles county.
Twenty years ago in February snow
wss drifted to the height Of s and 10

It is another serious thing that dis
eases Of pneumonia and measles have
visited orr camp killed so many Of the

reasons. There have been more lives

GAS MASKS FOR HORSES
BEING SENT TO FRANCE.

The Gas Defence Service is
now manufacturing about 5000
horse gas masks per day. These
are being sent to France, and it
is expected that within g short
time every horse connected with
the American Expeditionary
Forces will be equipped with the
new masks.
The Gas Defense Service has a
completely equipped factory for
the manufacture of the masks.
In less than three weeks a build
ing was selected and the factory
was producing masks. The intro
duction of riveting machinery
has done away with the heavy
hand sewing of the frame which
supports the masks on the faces
OF the horses. The masks are so
constructed that no metal or
chemically impregnated parts
can chafe the horse.

~ appealed in no way to Seatnor
Shields judgment as senator
The particular grudge against SEN
ator Shields, growing out of some
treading upon unseen toes in past pol
itics, is not yet apparent. 1t is not
likely ever to be allowed. If it were
big enough to be a popular bar to the
senate it would be openly avowed and
not propped up and hid under a triv-
ial matter of naturalization--or non-
naturalization. 1t couldn't be a mat
ter of vast public account or it would
be set out and blazoned abroad.
So far the only reason given why
Senator Shields-a very able con-
stitutional lawyer, one of the ablest
senators Tennessee has had and
thorough and very efficient sup
exporter of the administration and its
war policy--should not be returned:
to the Senate is that Mr.. So-and-so
doesn't agree with the Attorney Gen
eral of Mr.. Wilson's administration
and Senator Shields that upon recorl
presented. Mr.. Thus-and-so is nat
uralized' citizen.
The real reason why the DIRECTORS
desire the defeat or Senator Shields
is known to them only. The rest of
the people of Tennessee neither know
nor care anything about thor are
they able to see where trivial mat
ter of naturalization, projected be-
before the consealed real reason
touches any matter of public inter
ests, or form bar to the election of
very able and efficient senator,
champion of all the wise war meas.

public mind it looks like mere camou.
