The construction of the proposed
Pocomoke bridge at Pocomke City
under a contract with the Mclean
Construction Company was held up
! yesterday by injunction proceedings
| instituted in Circuit Court No. 2.
The suit was filed by the Fisher 4
Carozza Brothers Company, which
claims the right to the contract,
! against John S. Mackall, Omar d.
Crothers and D. G. Winebrenner,
composing the State Roads Commits
sion, though BROMLEY & Murphy,
attorneys. Upon the bill of com
plant an order was signed by Judge
Stanton requiring cause to be shown
in 10 days why the injunction should
not be granted.
In November, 1919 the bill of
complaint states, the State Roads
Commission awarded a contract for
constructing the bridge to the Fisher
& Carozza Brothers Company for
$67,153. after advertising for COM
petitive bids. 1t alleged that alter
ations were made by the commission
in the plan for the construction OF
the D1IuSS dnu ll1dI I11C cluoiIIohnA
compensation for the extra work was
agreed upon, but the commission de-
sired to insert unreasonable condi-
lions in the supplement contract.
While negotiations were pending
between the commission and the con-
tractors, it is also alleged the COM
mission took the contract away from
the Fisher & Carozza Brothers Com
pany and awarded it to the Mclean
Constructing Company for the lump
sum of $85, 900, without advertising
for competitive bidding and without
requiring unit prices to be stated in
the bid. The Mclean Company bid
was based on the original plans. it
is asserted and did not cover the
cost of doing the work under the re-
vised plans.
An injunction is asked restraining
the Mclean Company from proceed
ing with the work and requiring it
to remove all its materials and ma
chinery from the site of the proposed
bridge. The court is also asked to
restrain the commission from paying
the Mclean Company any of the
money appropriated for constructing /
the bridge and to direct the commits |
sion to correct the supplemental
agreement and permit the Fisher &
Carozza Brothers Company 20 pro- |

II Am The Light" Sign
Fires Hall of the World
Sunday School Conclap,

TOXIC, Oct. 6.-Fire Tuesday after
noon destroyed the big hall in which
the worlds Sunday school convention
was to have held it's first session to-
night. 1t is said that there were no
casualties.
The fire, which resulted from defec-
tive electric wiring, started at $50
o'clock when the lights on the dome,
bearing the inscription, Il Am the
Light of the World" were turned on.
The building which had been con-
structed of light material covered with
stucco, was destroyed within a few
minutes. A large number of delegates
were inside the building when the cor
respondent left it two minutes before
the flames started.
The cry of fire" was Immediately
raised by those inside the building and
echoed by thousands of persons ap-
preaching the central railroad station,
adjacent to the convention hall. AL
most Immediately the entire structure
was wrapped in flames with people
streaming from the exits. Within ten
minutes the building had been leveled
So great was the heat that it would
have been impossible to approach the
building for work of rescue, if such
work had been required.
Some Of the delegates who had been
inside the hall, when questioned, said
they did not know whether all those
there when the fire started had made
their escape

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am II
years old and go to high school. My
parents do not approve of my keeping
company with gentlemen friends, al
though I have many who accompany
me home when go out of an evening
am in love with two boys. One
like because he is jolly, and the Other
because he is quiet. The former Is
the younger. Do you think it would
be right to let them take me home
from a show?
PEROXIDE BLONDE.
You should obey your parents and
abide by their decision. 1t seems to
me it would be better for youD g
man to call for you and take you to a
show than for you to go alone and
then be accompanied home by some
one who did not take you. To go &c
q place alone or in the company OF
another young girl does not look right
1t is an open invitation for boy &c
take the girl home and gives the i'm
preston that she is of the class which
picks up escorts and is not sought
by them in her own home.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: When com
ing home from any place with gentle
man for the first time, although
have met him before, should I ask hiri
in or just thank him for his company:
Is it his place to ask to come again
or mine and what should l say when
he leaves?
Should girl thank her friend every
time she has ice cream at an ice
cream parlor? ELEANOR.
If it is early in the evening, invite
the young man to come in, but if il
is after ten o'clock, thank him fol-
taking you home and ask him to come
to see you.
Ask him to come again and leave II
to him to set the time.
A girl should always thank hel
friend for ice cream.

TOOTH BLEACHES.

4 1t is not difficult to keep the teeth
looking white and well-cared for-no,
nearly as difficult as some of my very
young readers seem to think.
One of the reasons why great
many people worry because their teeth
are not white is this-very few know
that milk white teeth are rare, and
not specially desirable. Unfortunately
very white teeth have been praised
as being the most beautiful, and the
result seems to be that many women
think that their own are not good be-
cause they are not blue-white.
The truth is that slightly yellow or
cream color teeth are stronger than
the pure white sort. However, thele
are many simple bleaches which will
keep teeth from becoming too yellow.
and at the same time make them
stronger and more beautiful.
There's a powdered pumice. This is

the tartar that collects on the teeth.

or soft gums. A teaspoonful in little
warm water is all you need; the
mouth can be rinsed out with it every
day.
Salt is excellent for the teeth, but
should not be used too often or too
much at a time. 1t may make the
teeth ache for a minute if you use too
much, and IL the teeth are sensitive.
But 1t Is wonderfully bleaching and
cleansing. Salt water as mouth

SCARLET FEVER.

Within a week-sometimes within
two or three days-after your child
has been exposed to scarlet fever, If
she is susceptible person, you will
hear her complain of sore throat.
Vomiting and fever accompany the
sore throat, and from ~ to So hours
later a bright red rash will appear on
her neck and chest. This spreads
rapidly over the whole body, with the
exception Of the face which usually
escapes.
By this time you will be pretty sure
you have a we'll developed case OF
scarlet fever On your hands, and the
complications and aftereffects Of this
disease may be so serious that nc
mother should attempt to handle a
case alone. Deafness may result from
scarlet fever, and it is not an unknown
thing to have a child die suddenly
from kidney disease after it was
thought he had entirely recovered from
an attack of scarlet fever.
If your child has the above symp
toms send for competent physician
who will guide you through the pit
falls of this disease. He will tell yor
that it is contagious from the very be
ginning until all discharges from the
nose, throat and ears have ceased, US

of all discharges from the nose, throat,

A frequent means of spreading scar

children who do not feel really ill, and
complain of nothing but a mild sore
throat. But these cases are just as
contagious as severe ones, one just as
apt to be followed by ear and kidney
troubles. Unfortunately, too, a very
severe case may be contracted from a
very mild one, and the mother who
sends her child to school with a sore
throat runs the risk of causing some
other child to suffer great harm and
perhaps death. Keep your child at
