ROTARY ITEMS


The Rotary Club held its weekly
luncheon at the Cova Hotel Wed.
nosday, with about 100 per cent
attendance. Oscar Scnsabaugh ac-
ted as president pro TEN. Woody
offered the invocation and then af-
forwards refused 10 be the two
minute man. The meeting was then
turned over TO Bonnie llilburn as
chairman Of the entertainment COM
mittee for the day. He Is 10 be
complimented on the nice program
rendered. He called upon Woody
to make q patriotic address, and il
is needless TO say that II Is full Of
good things, as we all know him 20
be 100 per cent American.
He said that our glory day was
in the future. but that we did not
forget the traditions Of the past.
People from the foreign countries
meet on American soil and can dis
cuss the issues Of their country in
a safe and sane manner; while If
they would criticize matters in this
same manner in their own country,
they would be flying at each others
threats. In other words, America
is the melting pot of all nations.
He touched upon the different great
historical events Of the United
States, going back as far as the
year 1920, when he made the state
ment that Rotary had its birth.
There We're no Rotary associations
formed In that time, but in prin-
cipal, Rotary had It's birth then.
The Fourth of July is one Of the
great outstanding holidays Of the
American nation, the birthday Of
our Independence.

Party is Refreshed.
Passing through the towns of

Damascus. the town of Ridgeville
was approached. II was here that
"a feast fit for the Gods" was en-
joyed by the party. During the
course of the meal, a well-known
Washington Studebaker salesman
drove up and Joined the party. He
was driving Studebaker coupe.
After the party was refreshed the
tourists left Nelson's Hotel at
Ridgeville and turned their way to
Ellicott City.
1t was noticed all the way on the
trip that the Studebaker big six
is all that she is reputed to be.
The way the car ran, the manner in
which she held to the roads and the
extensive comfort which marked
both the front and rear seats, COM
PEELED the party to believe that this
year will really be one of the
Studebaker's best.
After reaching ElIicott City, one
of Maryland's thriving towns. the
car turned her nose homeward
over the route to Sandy Spring.
Off to the right of Sandy Spring
stood what is called the Meeting
House, a worn and rustic abode
where the Quakers of that section
are wont to meet.
You will recall the great bank
robbery that took place at Sandy
Spring not so long ago. Well.
the bank looks about the same.

son for this wire arrangement was

This novel experience happened
to a group of Washington motorists
last Tuesday when a trip was taken
to Ellicott City. Md, by way Of
RidSeville, thence returning home
ward over the route to Sandy
Spring. The tour was under the
direction of the Commercial Auto
and Supply Company in conjunc-
tion with The Washington Herald.
Joseph McReynolds, prominent auto
veteran of this city and president
Of the Commercial Auto and Supply
Company, supervised the trip. A
big six Studebaker. one of the most
popular cars of this year, was used
on the journey.
Leaving Washington at 10 o'clock
in the morning. the party left the
Commercial Auto and supply Com
pany, S17-19 Fourteenth street
northwest. and drove to Norbeck
Md. by way of Sixteenth street out
to Forest Glen and passed Wheaton.
Joe" McReynolds, who has been in
the automotive profession here for
the last twenty-five years, was at
the wheel. The party felt safe
with this veteran directing the
course.
The road from Norbeck to the
city was like glass. Indeed, so ex-
cellent was the highway that the
party paid spoken tribute to the
State Roads Commission of Mary

forget his city worries.

The old man made an effort to

he managed to ask.
The party nodded. Here was an
old man, it was thought. whose
age had seen old "Dobbin' at his
best during the sunny years when
the ''horseless wagon" was a mere
dream. With this thought the old
figure took on the form of a living

LAUREL RACE TRACK GETS

Horsemen at Jamaica have been
citing the Laurel track as an ex.
ample Of q properly protected plant.
When James Rowe. the elder,
trainer for the H. p. Whitney es-
tablishment and one OF the most
noted and respected men In racing.
ventured out for q breath Of fresh
air at Laurel the other evening he
was promptly halted by an armed
guard and compelled to establish
his identity and his right to be on
the grounds.
Rowe had taken temporary quar-
ters at the track in order to be
near the horses under his care. No
one IL better known and no one
had q better right to b there.
But everyone looked alike to the
guard. And Mr.. Rowe. being Q
sensible man, identified himself sat
isfactorily, commended the guard
for his strict administration OF the
rules and said he wished they were
as careful on the New York tracks.
