Tuesday she left Philadel- phia on an early Pennsylvania Rail- road train-65S a. m.-and planned to go to hairdresser when she reached New York. She would have had to take off the jewelry at the hairdressers so she put it all in the bag with her money.
 On the train the possibility of theft struck her for the first time and worried her.

 to Revive.

Atlantic City, N. J., Aug 25,- After Jasper Bryant, AZ, a ne1ro waiter of 1704 Arctic avenue, had been chased four blocks by an angry crowd crying Lynch him!" he fell to the pavement. He died of heart dis ease q few minutes after he was taken to the Atlantic City hospital. His collapse, according to physicians, was induced by fright.
 A report turned in to police head quarters stated that Bryant had at tackled one of several children who were playing in the street. When they screamed passers-by became en- ragged at the negro and a crowd gath cred.
 Bryant started to run, and was fol- lowed closely by several men. When he fell to the ground he was protect ed by one or two of the men while a call was sent for an ambulance.

 This isn't a gun" replied Police- man Heintze. Its a glass toy. Why didn't you punch him on the nose like l did?"
 The man was then taken to the station where he said he was William Duckworth, 25. a clerk, and that his home was in Liverpool, England. He was locked up on a charge of att temped robbery and threatened fel- onious assault

THREE SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTIONS
State Convention.

The recent State Sunday School
Convention held in Baltimore was
attended by 1349 delegates, number
practically equal to that Of New York.
A year ago, at Frederick also equalled
New York in its attendance. A small
state in comparison, it intends next
year to surpass that great state and
have 1000 delegates. The date of the
next State Convention has. already
been fixed by the Board of Trustees
for October 1921 and will be held in
Baltimore. Already the process of
engaging speakers for that great
event has commenced.
International.
The greatest convention held on the
American continent of a religious ma
ture is the international Sunday
School Convention, which convenes
every fourth year. Announcements
have been coming for some time to
the State Office, 1915 St. Paul St.,
Baltimore, setting forth the next
convention, which will be held in Kan
sas City, June 21-28. Maryland has
quota of 80 delegates. The represen-
tatives of twenty millions of Sunday
School people will meet in Kansas
City and some of the reasons why q
Sunday School worker should attend
such convention, where everything
pertaining to the Sunday School work,
from Weekday instruction and D. V.
B. S. to the Cradle Roll will be con
sidered in those eight days are tho
following:
l. As a Sunday School worker l
feel the need of coming in contact
with fellow workers from all over the
continent
2. In my duties as a Sunday School
teacher | feel the need of a world
wide vision of what religious educa
ton is doing.
8. l want to see the great exhibit
of Sunday School equipment, publica-
tons and requisites, and the pictures
of activities being carried on by Sun
day Schools in the United States and
/ Canada.
H. l want to learn all about the
merging of the Sunday School Coun-
ell and the international Sunday
School Association to the end that all
the Protestant Sunday School forces
of the United States shall use their
energy and resources together.
5. | want to learn the best there is
in music 'and pageantry for the Sun
day School.
6. | want to see and hear the men
and women who write for our Sunday
School publications and whose lesson
eXpositions have studied so long.
/ 7. / want to find out the finest
things that can be done by the Adult
Bible Glasses in my own Sunday
School.
/ 8. | want to watch our great ex-
perts in children's work as they con-
fer, instruct and demonstrate how we
should do it.
! 9. | want to ask some questions of
those who are in charge of young
peoples work
10. want to learn the most mod
ern methods of Sunday School admin
istration so as to help my school
strive toward perfection in that phase
of its work.

bers of the General Assembly when
they have the opportunity as to how
the States Educational Program is
getting along and if it is being
pushed in a way that will make its
passage successful and that it will
become a part of the educational law
of our State.
Speak out on school progress and
let the members of the General As
sembly know that the people of Gar
rett county are interested more in
the public schools of our county than
they are in any other one thing and
that this is a safe and sound position
for the people of any county to take.
The States Educational Program
provides many excellent features.
Among them is the fact that the State
is to provide in its equalization fund
for the school year 1922-1923 the sum
of S35,195 over and above any funds
that have ever been provided by the
State before for the maintenance of
the schools of Garrett county; the
sum of $44,145 being similarly pro-
vided in the provisions of the bill for
the school year of 1923-1924.

DEATH OF POPE

The death of Pope Benedict XIV.
removes from the head of the Catho-
lie Church gentle, pious, kindly soul,
who disliked controversy, who assum-
ed the duties of his great office in the
spirit of one who accepts a call that
is not to be disobeyed, but who, had he
been given his choice would have pre-
ferred . remain a Cardinal in rarG.
There was no time for him to impress
himself upon the world, or for the
world to know him before the great
war broke out, when there was little
a churchman could do except to seek
refuge in prayer. He assembled the
throne of st. Peters September 6,
1914, when the war had been in prog
ress six weeks. Frail in body, enor-
mously depressed by the vastness of
the conflict of which Cotholic coun-
tries bore the brunt on both sides,
there is little doubt that his vitality
was sadly undermined. In a time
that must have been particularly try
ing to one so situated, he bore him
self well. He did all that he could
do to lessen the horrors of the con-
flict, and whatever was permitted to
the Vatican to do in effort to bring an
end to hostilities found in him an
eager, sympathetic advocate. His
eXhortations to the belligerents were
spread broadcast, and when men were
in frame of mind to reason at all, his
efforts must have had good results
even though at the moment their
effect was not notable.
In a world torn by dissention and
during the process Of rebuilding the
wreck left by war, the Vatican was
forced necessarily into the back
ground, and it is to the credit of the
late Pope's judgement and experience
that he knew when to speak and when
to keep silent. As the Shepherd of
his flock, though, he will not be re-
membered as one of the outstanding
figures of the church as Leo XIII. is
remembered, his broad tolerance. his
Christian spirit his fatherly interest in
the welfare of all men, give reason
to deplore mis- death and for sympathy
with III sc millions Of Cath las to
whom it comes as a keen persCna'
sorrow

GEORGE W. CONNER.

George w. Conner was born near
Kingwood, West Va, June Is, 1845.
and died at his home in Kitzmiller,
Md, on January l, 1922-the first
hour of the new year, aged 76 years.
5 months and Is days. He leaves to
mourn his departure five sons: Thos.
Conner, of Vindex; John Conner, of
Morgantown; Harper Conner, also of
MOrgantown; Ora Conner, of Fair
mont, and Vernon Conner, of Nor
gantown, and two daughters: Mrs.
Nina DeAtley, of Colonial Beach, Va,
and Mrs. Anna Lewis, of Atlantic
City, N. j. The deceased was very
desirable citizen of Kitzmiller, being
loved and respected by all who knew
him. Ten years ago he was convert
ed in the Pentecostal assembly at
kitzmiller, since which time he was
a very amiable father and affection
ate husband and lived until his death
a consistent Christian life. His fun
eral services were conducted in the
Pentecostal church at Kitzmiller at
3 o'clock on January End, 1922, by H.
A. Groves, the pastor. A large con-
gregation was in attendance at the
service. Interment was made near
Thomas on January 4th in the Conner
lot in the cemetery at that point.

PARENTS TAKE SCHOOLS FOR
GRANTED.

If parents would bestow upon the
public schools the same thought that
they give to grocery bills, we would
have better schools says the New
York News, and adds that "to parents
the school is the most important part
of government. Continuing, the news
makes the following observations:
st is because parents take the
schools for granted that the schools
are far from being as good as they
should be.
Every few fathers so much as know
the names of the people to whose care
their children are committed, to say
nothing of being familiar with their
Qualifications.
"ln some progressive communities
there is never objection of higher
taxes in order to provide good schools.
every few, even of intelligent
people, have any idea of what it
would really cost to make the schools
as good as they ought to be and to
give the right kind of instruction to
every pupil.
"The largest number of students
that one teacher can be expected
compently to instruct is about thirty
sometimes less-never more.
"The whole future of the child lies
in his education. The whole future of
his education lies in the schools"
The question now comes: How can
as a parent help most the public
schools in Garrett County, Mary
land? The answer is: By learning
about the States Educational Pro-
gram, which is now before the State
Senate of Maryland as Senate Bill
No. p, as introduced by Senator Nc
lntosh from Baltimore County, and
now in the Committee of the State on
Education; the Bill for the States
Educational Program has also been
introduced in the House of the Gen
eral Assembly now in session and is
known as House Bill No. ~ and has
been introduced by Mr.. Gambrill. a
delegate from Howard county.

tel in Oakland, and he succeeded them
for time in the management of the
house. He was a greatgrandson of
Meshack Browning, known in the his
tory of Western Maryland as a great
hunter and the pioneer of the Allega-
MES. Mr.. Browning was married in
Washington, D. c., on November 8,
1908, to Florence, second daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John B. Fay, a for
mer editor of the Mountain Democrat.
His wife and four children survive
him; also two brothers, William R.
and Frank R. Browning; and five
sisters, all of whom, with numerous
other relatives, were in attendance
at the funeral. This took place, after
requiem mass and a sermon by Rev.
Father James f. Cornell, in st. Pet
er's Catholic church on Monday of
this week. The deceased was of a
kindly disposition, was well liked and
had a large circle of friends in the
community as attested by the great
number, including the members of
the Knights of Columbus, of which he
was one, who followed his mortal re-
mains to their last resting place,
where a brief service was held and
his body consigned to mother earth to
rest until the resurrection morn.

PROHIBITION AND PATRIOTISM

4 AND L ~ hlOl lOln
Members of the American Legion
and the Patriotic Order Sons of Amer
lea, called on an alleged bootlegger at
Cape May, N. j., a few days ago and
ordered him to take down an Ameri-
can flag which he was using as par
tition behind which to carry on his
traffic. They considered it unseemly
that the Stars and Stripes should be
associated with the bootlegging bust
ness; it struck them as being an of
Tense against patriotism 1t is not re-
ported that they objected to the mans
unlawfully selling whiskey. 1t was
merely the use of the flag to help
him sell it against which they protest
ed. But quite apart from the ques-
ton of his degrading Old Glory, there
would have been ample justification
for condemning his flounting the
eighteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition as in itself an unpatriotic act
Is it any worse to insult and mock
the flag than to insult and mock the
Constitution, that declaration of prin-
ciples without which there could be
no flag? 1t is the Constitution that
makes this a sovereign Nation of
which the flag is the emblem. Is the
creature more entitled to reverence
than the creator?
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union started a movement last Mon
day, the second anniversary of the
establishment of prohibition in the
United States, to link it more closely
with patriotism in the public mind.
They propose that persons who obey
the Volstead law shall display in the
windows of their homes flags some
what similar to the service flags of
the war and bearing the inscription:
eve are Americans; we support the
Constitution"
The plan will excite a smile. Not
many, even teetotalers, will care to
display the flags But there is a
commendable spirit behind the sug-
gestion. 1t is time that the citizens
were reminded in a striking way that
it is unpatriotic to violate the law.
even though they do not approve of it,
and that it is not consistent with Am
ericanism to show contempt for the
Constitution any more than it is to
show contempt for the flag.
Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes asserted in an address last
Sunday night delivered in Baltimore
that no less than thirty well-fnanced
organizations are striving day and
night to persuade the American peo-
pie to make dead letter of the eigh-
teenth amendment and "to lower their
standard of regard for the sanctity
and majesty of the law"
Here is a challenge to American
patriots. What ones personal predi-
lections are on the liquor question
does not enter into the matter at all.
There is proper way to repeal pro-
hibition if the majority of the Amer
lean people want it, but so long as it
remains a fundamental part of our
law it is the duty of all, whether they
like it or not, to uphold it. Those
who seek to inspire contempt for the
ignore it are enemies of the Republic
law and to encourage the citizens to
and of democratic government.
