BITTER PRIMARY
FIGHT APPROACHES
Continued from Page I

ct the really great men of Maryland,
the late William Pinl1ney White, 1t
various times Governor, Mayor OF
Baltimore City, State Comptroller,
Attorney General and twice Unit"d
States Senator. Mr.. Norris has no
slch man as his opponent, nor is h;
likely to have, for no such men exist"
in the State at the present time, ant
that he will win his fight for the
n mination is his own CONFIDENT be
lief as well as the belief of many q
tie shrewdest political observers o
the State. And it is the general h'
lief that no matter who receives tlI1
democratic nomination or who the
republican, the democratic NOMINEE
will win an easy victory for there
are all sorts of indications that this
is to be a democratic year in Mary
land as well as throughout the whole
Country. So far as Mr.. Lewis cau-
dacy is concerned, here in Baltimore
it is not taken seriously, and reports
from most of the county districts do
rot indicate any very great amount OF
enthusiasm in his behalf. He is look
ed upon as a man who represents is
sues which have been settled for years
o. issues which are dead beyond hoGc
Of resurrection.
On the republican side the contest
for the nomination has already reach
ed the bitterest sort of stage. Sen
ator France is making rapid and IN.
taresting tours through the State,
and his friends assert that he is meet
ing with unusual encouragement anc
j. assured of success. That he has
developed into a good campaigner il
an undoubted fact. and he and hi
supporters are working day and nigh.
10 win every possible point. The re-
publican city organization and the
whole city administration with few
individual and minor exceptions, ar
enlisted on the France side, and all
ing them are some of the ablest and
shrewdest politicians in the State, in
Guiding such noted veterans as Elk
Congressman Thomas Parran and
City Solicitor Roland Marchant and
others too numerous to mention.
Mr.. Garrett has on his side very
large proportion of those old-time re-
publicans of high position and inf1u-
ence in the City and State who have
given their party great measure OF
it.. responsibility and character. And
j; is not unfair to say that the Gar
rctt side of the contest is top heavy
with responsibility, large number OF
his supporters belonging to that class

known in recent years as honorary
pall-bearers. Their support of MI

WHY q
ARE BIRDS EGGS OF
DIFFERENT coLORS

ONE of Natures very wise pro-
~ visions is in equipping all living
things with protection of some kind
against their enemies. The larger
animals are able, by reason of their
strength, to give a good account of
themselves in combat Birds and
many of the smaller animals depend
principally upon the rapidity Of their
movements. But there is still another
and most effective means Of self
preservation known as protective col
OratiOn."
Snakes form an excellent illustra-
tiOn of this, as do many varieties Of
fish. Their scales are so colOred that
they blend in with the surrounding
rocks or the shadows of the water.
making them almost invisible to the
eye. In fact, it Is only when one OF
these protectively-cOlored animals
moves that its presence is apparent.
This same principle is responsible for
the different colors of birds eggs. The
mother bird is not able to fight ag-
excessively. so she has to seek refuge
In flight. During the time that she is
away from the nest, either while seek
ing safety from her enemies or while
looking for food, the eggs must be
protected in some manner. 1t is for
this reason that they are colored to
blend in with the surroundings In
which they are laid-some of them
spotted because they are laid lin the
sand or among pebbles, others buff
colored or green to match the ma.
terial of the nest.

MISSLINDSAY
HONORED BY
GIRL FRIENDS
Newport Young Woman
to Be Bride at June
Wedding

Miss Dorothy Lindsay was
given a shower Saturday evening
in honor of her approaching mar
riage early in June to Frederick
Bray of New York city, The af-
fair was arranged by Miss Alice
Abbott, Miss Pauline Brown, Miss
Christine Blanchard, Miss Ruth
Blodgett and Miss Esther Brown
at whose home it took place. Miss
Lindsay had been invited to at
tend the movies" and was to call
for Miss Brown. Great was her
surprise when the phonograph tn-
gan the wedding march from Lo-
henglin and she walked in to find
the dining room filled with friends.
On the table, a realistic and capa-
cious nest of crepe paper was pill
ed high with eggs of unusual
shape, while some Of the chickens
already hatched hovefed around
the nest. From the electric light
over the table was suspended a
large cluster of violets with the
engagement and the wedding ring.
The color scheme Of the decora-
tions was lavender and white.
The gifts included handsome
ly embroidered linens, pyrex and
other things both practical and
beautiful.
The delightful lunch Of butterfly
salad, rolls, neapolitan ice cream
and coffee, served later in the
evening, was also much enjoyed
and informal dancing rounded out
a perfect evening.
Those present were Misses Lou
via and Marguerite Blodah, Miss
Ruth Buck, Misses Shirley and
Kathleen Robinson, Misses Laura
and Lcota Cobleigh, Miss Sallie
Young, Miss jennie Curtis, Miss
Helen Savage, Miss Mildred
Keith. The five hostesses and the
guest of honor made up sweet
sixteen.

Community Meetings
at Grace Church

Large audiences greeted MI.
Chadboulne at Grace Church
Sunday at the three services. In the
morning the dynamic of love for
Christ was stressed and the proof
of that love in service that tells
nightly in every department OF
life. Why call ourselves Christians
if we do not do the things that
need to be done in times Ike these?
In the afternoon the subject was
"Can You Afford the High Cost of
Low Living?" A fine body Of the
men of the town listened to Mr..
ChadboWnc as he gave facts con
ccrning the decline in morals in
America, facts which some men
said they did not know, in the
church and out, in an unceasing
campaign to save our boys and
young men.
In the evening Mr.. Chadbournc
chose Il national theme and dealt
with it in broad way, "Thc Chief
Asset Of America" showing how
in the opinion of leaders in all
walks of life the only foundation
no which this republic can endure
that of Christian character built in
the Christian home and the church,
In response to the appeal at the
close for decision to lead the
Christian life several made their
determination known. Everybody
feels that the meetings are incrcas-
ing in interest and power and all
who have no church affiliation are
cordially invited to come, Tonight
at 7. 80 Mr.. Chad5ourne will speak
on the subject, What's Got You"
