Describes Gas Burns.

Experiences of a Red Cross nurse in
Worthington, daughter of Judge Glenn H.
Worthington, an associate member of our
Circuit Court, and Mrs. Worthington, of
Frederick City, at large reception at her
home on Thursday night of last week.
She wore the uniform she used at hos
pital on the Verdun front and displayed
many souvenirs picked up on the battle
field and collected from other parts of
France. She described the perilous journey
over mined and submarine-infested waters
as great fun" and told of meeting French
and English nobility.
She paid the highest tribute to the bra
very and unfailing cheerfulness of the
wounded men. Her first case, suffering
with mustard gas burns, impressed her as
the most pitiful of all.
Some of the men," she said. were
burned dark red and nearly black. Their
skin peeled off and they suffered terribly.
One would haye thought that the wounded
boys were at vaudeville show instead of
being so badly hurt and suffering so dread
fully. They called the nurses nicknames,
some of them being Mary Pickford, Mar
euerite Clark and so on. happened to be
Marguerite Clark. The French soldiers
were particularly grateful for everything
done for them. In the midst of unbear-
able pain they would not forget to be
polite. Just after dressing wounds a
Frenchman would lift his head and say
merci Mademoiselle. beaucoup.
Particularly aggravatne was the habit
the boche had of starting an air raid at
night when some important surgical work
was going on and the lights had to be ex-
tinguished at inconvenient times. Hospi-
tai officials we're very outspoken and not
complimentary to the Hun at times like
these. On one occasion there were several
German patients. all mere boys, and al
though they were given the same treat
ment medically as the Allied soldiers the
nurses could not soften their hearts to
them. But we were glad they were Ger
mans who were shot instead of our boys.
She gave an interesting description of
life in the French villages she visited.
Finally. she said, when the United States
was reached the weary nurses forgot the
discomforts of hospital work. She is
graduate of Mercy Hospital training school
and while in France met her brother, Cor
moral Richard Worthinpton

Bowling Murder Trial Set For
April 2.

Insanity will be the defense for Ralph
T. Bowling, the Washington youth, whose
trial on an indictment charging him with
the murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Beckwith,
65 years old, in her home near Colesville,
this county. the afternoon of December 20,
will begin April 2.
In the Circuit Court here last Saturday
argument was made before Judge Peter
on motion of States Attorney Albert M.
Bouic that the Court direct that the boys
mental condition be passed on by the State
Lunacy Commission.
States Attorney Bouic stated in his ar
gument that il was the desire Of the State
not o ly to have the State Commission
express its opinion as to Bowlings present
mental condition, but also to use the mem
bers of the commission as alienists to Prove
that the defendant was sane at the time
| the crime was committed.
The motion was opposed by Bowlne's
counsel, Edward F. Galloway and Glen L.
TAFT. of Washington. and Charles W. Pref
lyman. of Rockville, who argued that the
plan of States Attorney Bouic would be
unjust to their client in that it might en-
able the States Attorney to argue to the
jury that Bowling had already been Off
cialy held sane and that the testimony of
members of the commission, who are paid
nothing for their testimony. should carry
more weight than that of the highly paid
alienists of the defense.
In overriding the motion Judge Peter re-
marked that justice would be best sub
served by each side employing its own
alienists and coming into court on on even
basis.
( The State has engaged the professional
services Of DR.. White, of Washington, to
make an examination of the mental state
Of Bowling. and the defense will rely upon
DR.. Hill. Of Baltimore. to perform similar
service. The two alienists have wide rep
utations in their profession. If looks as il
BOwling's counsel will make a hard fight
/ to save his life.

c. s. o. Canal To Resume.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal will
resume operation on March 20, though the
Government has decided to discontinue
the financial assistance given it last year.
Opening Of the canal was made possible
when the boatmen. after a conference
with Manager Nicholson, voted to 90 to
work for wages less than paid during the
war.
They have agreed to rate Of go cents
a ton for coal carried from Cumberland to
Washington. Last year it was 30 cents,
Il was explained to the men that this re-
duction was necessary II the company was
TO resume.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal lost
about $4,000 last year. which was made
GOOD by the Government. II is thought
that even with the reductions in wages
the company is almost certain Of a con-
tinued loss. About 8 boats will be oper-
ated, including the 10 barges belonging to
the Government.

Franklin RiVes Dies-Was or
Notable Line.

Franklin Rives died at the George Wash
ineton Hospital last Saturday in his seven
ty-eighth year. He was the son of John c.
Rives, who, with Francis P. Blair. founded
and edited the Congressional Globe. The
Congressional Globe was the official organ
of Congress from the time of President
jackson until 1874, when it was superseded
by the Congressional Record
1t was Andrew Jackson who brought
John c. Rives and Francis P. Blair to-
gether, and it was the acquaintance thus
formed which ripened into the partnership
which lasted for so many years, terminal
ing with the death of Mr.. Blair. Both the
elder Blair and the elder Rives played
prominent parts in public affairs in Wash
ington for more than generation. Both
died during the civil war and Franklin
Rives, just deceased. and his brother, JEFF
ferson Rives. succeeded to the proprietor
ship of the Globe and held it until its dis
continuance.
When John C. Rives died, Congress adj
journed out Of respect to his memory, the
only time such an honor was paid to any
man who had not been in official life.
In 1864 Franklin Rives married Jennie
Tree, daughter of Lambert Tree. for many
years assistant postmaster of Washington
She was also the sister of Judge Lambert
Tree, of Chicago, who served as United
States minister to the courts of Brussels
and St. Petersburg. The death of Frank
lin Rives makes one less in that steadily
decreasing list of scions of the old families
of Washington who were prominent and
distinguished before the civil war.-Wash-
ington Star.
For several years Mr. Rives was a resi-
dent of Rockville. and from here returned
to Washington city. In his intercourse with
our people he made many friends, who will
deeply feel his demise.

Bethesda Seeks Return or Two
Rural Routes.

Removal Of two rural routes from the
Chevy Chase, D. c., branch postofiice, to
which they were transferred about two
years ago. to Bethesda. Md. which had
been the point Of collection and departure
Of the routes for more than thirty years.
was asked by a committee Of the Bethesda
Community League Of Representative Fred
erick N. Zihlman. Of Maryland. yesterday.
1t was shown that the two routes. serv-
ing large portion Of the southern part Of
Montgomery county. had been transferred
TO the Chevy Chase branch postoffice in
the effort to centralize all rural routes in
the Washington postoffice. Inquiries at
the POstoffice Department showed that no
economies resulted from the change, while
serious complaints were made in regard
TO the service since the change. Repre-
sentative Zihlman. who is chairman Of the
House committee on expenditures in the
Postoffice Department. promised to use his
Immediately to the Bethesda postoffice.
Petitions bearing the names Of several
hundred patrons Of the two routes and
asking the return Of the routes to Bethesda
were presented.
The committee comforting with Repre-
sentative Zihlman was composed Of F. G.

Rockville Military Academy.

Maryland Day was duly recognized BY the
Rockville Academy. The following pro
gram Of exercises proved very instructive
and entertaining:
lnvocation-Rev. Willard F. Minnick.
Essay-The Settlement of MARYLAND T

Essay-Leonard Calvert, Edward Peter.
Song-The Star-Spangled Banner
Essay-The Physical Advantages Of
Maryland. D. M. Garrett.

G. M. Thomas.
Debate-Resolved, That the United States
should join the League of Nations.
Affirmative-L. W. Howes and P. M.
Mannar.
Negative-T. M. Anderson and Captain
Turner.
Though the gentlemen on the NEGATIVE
were volunteers at the last moment, they
won by a unanimous decision of the judges.
Maryland, My Maryland was then sung
in fine style and spirit by all who were
present.
A military drill under arms concluded
the exercises. which lasted from 8 A. M.
to noon.
The boys having acquitted themselves
so well and the weather being so fair, a
half holiday was announced for the rest of
the day, an order which seemed to meet
with the hearty approval of every boy.
1t may not be out of place to add that
Maryland Day originated in a resolution
of the State Board of Education February,
l9OS, requiring appropriate exercises in
the Public Schools on the 25th of March
each year to stimulate love of State and
knowledge of Maryland history.
In 1904, during Governor Warfield's ad-
the General Assembly made
Maryland Day State holiday.
1t has been said that Marylanders are
singularly ignorant of the history of their
State. How true this is. the writer cannot
say, but certain it is that no State in the
Union has prouder history than Mary
land, and with all our facilities for knowl-
edge it is shame that any Citizen of even
meager education should not be familiar
with the main facts of Maryland history
from the first landing of the Calverts at
old ST. Mary's March rs, 1884.
