POCOMOKE CITY HAS BIG FIRE
TWO Blocks of Business Places and
Fine Residences Prey to Flames
EntaiIing a S2.OOO.OOO Loss.

Sparks from a pile of burning trash
started a fire Monday at noon which
soon wiped out thirty-six dwelling
houses, two banks, hotel, and spread
destruction over an area of ten acres
in Pocomoke City, Md, causing prop
erty loss estimated at $2,000,000. The
heart of the business section is
complete ruin, the flames having eat
en- their way over the section from
Maple to Clarke street and along
Fourth street south from Market
street and on Bridge street from Front
street to the Pocomoke River. For
three hours Maple, Clarke, Second
and Market streets were a mass of
flames which were driven by a high
southerly wind and resisted the efforts
of the firemen to check. The fire de-
stroyed virtually two city blocks in
the main business section and then
swept along two squares of other
important business thoroughfares,
Practically every business house on
Maple, Willow and Market streets was
destroyed. Banks, hotels, theatres
and business houses, some of the larg-
est in the town, were totally destroy
ed. 1t is understood the fire had its
origin in a pile of rubbish adjoining
the barn of F. M. Wilson, on Maple
street. The heaviest losses were sus
tanned by Milton L. Veasey, proprie
tor of a furniture store and yer!
important general store, both on Mar
ket street. Mr.. Veasey estimates hi
total loss at $15O,0O0. The Pocomok

KILLED WHILE SHOOTING RATS
Tragic Death of Young Pusey, Near
Laurel, Believed to be Accidental

Laurel, Believed to be Accidental
Russell Pusey, aged 10 years, son of
William Pusey, a Nanticoke farmer,
was found dead back of barn on his
fathers farm Monday afternoon If
last week, by neighbor, with load
of shot in his body just above his
heart. Shortly after noon young
Pusey's parents went to Georgetown
to see a physician, and left him at
home by himself. About 1.30 o'clock,
a neighbor who was plowing in a
nearby field heard a shot fired, but
thought it nothing unusual. About D
o'clock small boy on neighboring
farm went over to Puseys on an
errand, and going to the rear of one
of the barns he saw the dead body,
lying face downward on the ground
about.-one foot from one of the door
ways. His fathers shotgun lay by his
side. Young Pusey, who had always
been unusually fond of dag and
gun, would often go down to one oi
the barns and shoot rats, which his
dog would scare out. 1t is believed i
was in this manner he met his death
the gun accidentally going off while
he was shooting rats. The position
of young Pusey's body and the plac'
where it was found tend to confirm
the belief that he met his tragic deatl
accidentally, probably tripping owe
the sill of the doorway as he was step

ping from the barn. The gun which
he had in his possession evidently was
close to his body at the time it was
discharged, as the shot did not scatter
before entering his body, but made a
wound the size of the gun barrel. His
parents are confident his death was
accidental as they said their son had
been in the best of health and spirits
when they last saw him, and that he
had always been of an amiable dis
position.

COLUMBIA PROGRAM .
IS COMBINATION Of
VAUDEVILLE, FILMS

Vaudeville and film plays combine
TO make the program at Mauk's Co
lumbia theater for the last times to-
day one of the best entertainment
values offered at this playhouse in
weeks. The Cosmo players present q
complete vaudeville show of five big
acts. "Conceit," Lewis J. Selznick's
latest screen release, is headlined on
the picture program. The double
show is being offered at regular
house prices.
The plot of "Conceit" revo1ves
around the central figure Of William
Crombic, a millionaire, who has ev-
erything that money can buy. But
the fly in the ointment is that there
are lots Of things that cannot be pur-
chased by gold. The love OF his wife
is one Of these.
His neglect has brought them to
the parting Of the ways, and he goes
on a hunting trip to forget for a time
his domestic difficulties. Becoming
lost in the wilderness. he Is rescued
by a, woodsman. Crombie repays by
trying to steal the mans sweetheart.
When the man offers to fight him
for her, and Crombie refuses. the girl
sprns him as a coward and he then
sees himself in his true light. How
he overcomes both his physical and
spiritual weaknesses is then shown
in manner that is at once interest
ing and thrilling. w. B. Davidson
Hedda Hooper. Betty Hilburn and
Maurice Costello have been assigned
the leading roles in this splendid pro-
duction.
The vaudeville program consists Of
dancing and singing acts, a good
comedy act. with Eugene DeBell, for
merly end man with the famous Al
G.. Fields minstrels, and good music,
including the famus Marimba band.
The other number on the program
for the last times todal is a Polly
Moran comedy entitled 90 You Sher-

eEAuTY AND SALARY

How true is Ii that man sets such
a huge premium upon beauty as an
asset in the marriage mart that some
girls who possess it see small rea-
son for possessing anything else. This
condition produces this reaction in
one husband:
Els an engaged girl liable to slump
after marriage?
Sounds queer, but you'll under
stand by reading on. The girl ! am
to marry is crazy about shopping
and getting presents from me. She
is always limiting about the expen-
sive things she wants, and when we
were first engaged | was an easy
mark. But lately I'm anxious.
MY business may not be good for
a while. When / explain she simply
spoils her eyes weeping, and says
this is cher golden hour and she win
not expect so many expensive things
after we're welded.
I'm beginning to tire OF her View
Of life. She is most attractive, but
I'm neither a tightwad nor a fool.
/ ask myself If I'm to be only a ma
chine to turn out the cash for her"
The above prompts a question: Are
men at last perceiving where their
mad pursuit Of beauty is leading
them?
Women become wild spenders for
the sake of decorating themselves to
please man. Therefore it would seem
wise for the man in love to SUBJ
stitute a little talk about the bust
ness side Of matrimony for some of
the flattery with which he besieges
beauty before marriage.
Matrimony is, after all. mans
biggest venture. His partner IN IL.

duction in an attempt to achieve a
picture that would eventually set a
new standard In screen productions.
JAS you and know. the picturegoing
public has long been demanding
better pictures and we feel that
this demand must be satisfied by all
producers If we are to keep the
screen as the greatest entertaining
and educational institution of all
times"
with this idea IN mind l selected
the greatest cast or classic screen
players that has ever been assembled
in one picture. These players put
the best of their talents into por-
traying their roles in this great
American drama
Il sincerely hope that every woman
in Phoenix and your community sees
"Hail the Woman" and II is also a
picture that will be enjoyed and leave
its lesson with every man and boy
and girl 1t has the universal audi
ence appeal"
Ince has indeed brought to the
screen d new type picture in Hail
peatedly as "a drama of Just folks, "
and in this particular it reaches its
greatest appeal. The characters will
be instantly recognized by everyone
who sees the production. 1t will more
than likely recall many incidents
that have come to the attention OF
everyone through the Journey of life.
And referring to his classic cast,
he has well named that sterling or
ganization who interpret the picture.
Florence Vidor has the principal
feminine lead. the second lead is
taken by Madge Bellamy-a role that
demonstrates in this girl the screen
has a real find. Theodore Roberts
and Tully Marshall have the char
acter male roles, and though widely
differing, they are both the very es-
sence of perfection. Gertrude Clair
plays the role of the mother. while
Lloyd Hughes has the juvenile lead.
Edward Matrindel in the role of the
playwright gives splendid perform
ance, as does Vernon Dent as the
village beau
Hail. the Woman" IS one OF the
really great productions of the day,
and the fact that the Strand will
screen it without advance in prices
augurs for record breaking attend
ance. The management is therefore
urging that wherever possible at
tendance be made during the matinee
that all may be accommodated dur
ing the limited engagement of the
masterpiece.

Although matrimony is her orig

she doesn't always grasp the extent
of her own responsibility for Its sue
cess as a business enterprise-when
she signs the marriage contract.
There are brides who refuse to

reason of their expressive eyes and
polished tresses to successfully ad-
Just a mans salary TO their own e1-

And when they fail to make ends

Nine times out of ten their hearts

considering a husband a machine FOB
turning out money! And most dis
tressed to discover that the husband
while still a lover, is embarrassed,

every time the wife thinks he should.
Thus turns the wheel of life. won-

on small means but how to live con-
