Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1923-05-05

After the deluge on Saturday and
Sunday Monday last was an unex-
pectedly good day. Sunshine was well
coined by every one interested in the
Worcester County Annual School
Field Meet, held this year at Berlin,
Maryland.
All roads led to that burg on Mon
day, and parking space for cars was
soon at a premium. In the morning
the contests for the girls were held,
and in the afternoon mostly for the
boys.
The Berlin Cornet Band discoursed
music for the occasion, and the parade
was thrilling and beautiful spec
tacle.
The Pocomoke contestants did not
win the meet, but they did the next
best thing to it-came in second.
There is always pardonable pride in
wanting to win, but doing ones best
is as good as winning and we are
sure the Pocomoke boys and girls did
their best. Better luck next time, and
to make luck a surety, they should
begin at once to look forward to next
year, and institute some training
methods which will enable them to
land the honors.
Below is the result in detail Of the
events and the winners of points:
Berlin High School, ITS points.
Pocomoke High School, 139 points
Snow Hill High School, 81 points
Girdletree High School, 13 points.
Ocean City High School, IL points

MILITIA COMPANY FOR
POCOMOKE ASSURED
Army Men In City This Week Help
Promote The Work OF
Organization

Capt. Geo. G. Parkhurst, Regula,
Army, also connected with the Mary
land National Guard; and Capt. R. S.
Martin, Regimental Headquarters
Commander, 1st Maryland Infantry
now stationed at Easton, Nd, have
been in town this week.
These officers, together with God
frey Child, ESQ.,, and Edward l.
Blaine, Jr., have been at work organ
izing company headquarters here, and
on Monday last, a most enthusiastic
meeting was held, and more than
enough enlistments made to proceed
with the formation of the company
Only Is are needed, but that number
was exceeded, it is understood. The
Company commander will probably be
Lieut.. Child, and second Lieut.
Blaine. Suitable headquarters have
been assured, announcement Of which
is, for the present, Withheld.
The company will proceed to fiji
themselves out for the summer camp
which will begin on July 27 and last
till August II. All expenses are paid
for this, and sum allowed every
soldier for his time lost while in the
service.
This camp will probably be held
either at Saunders Range or at Edge
wood Arsenal, at which, it has moi
yet been decided.
This company appears to be a goot
move. If war should come, the boy.
will have to go, and they will be bet
ter off by reason Of their training
If war should not come they will still
be all right, and better off by reason
of a marked physical improvement
which such service generally bring
about.

RADIO SERVICES FOR
CHURCHES SUGGESTED
Prominent Churchman Lays Novel
Proposition Before Diocese
OF Easton

Dudley G. Roe, a prominent layman
Of the P. E. Church, Diocese of Eas-
ton laid before the recent convention
Of this denomination rather novel
proposition. He suggested that ra-
dio outfit be installed in the Cathedral
at Easton, in order to furnish services
to those parishes without rector; he
further asked for an appropriation Of
$1,000 to provide for the expense. The
vote was against the idea.
This is new use for the radio.
While all sorts of entertainment have
been received by it, yet we do not
know of an instance where it was en-
ployed specifically to take the place of
a preacher to an assembled congrega-
tion.
The report of the convention was to
the effect that only three parishes
were without rectors and one of these
would soon be filled. The canned SER
mon idea would then be rather an ex-
pensive one.
The convention reported much pro-
gress, statistics showing consistent
growth. Judge Adkins resigned as
treasurer and John S. Mcdaniel was
elected to the office. Samuel E.
Shannahan was reelected secretary.
The salary Of the Bishop was raised
to- $4,000 per year, and he. is furnish
ed home in Easton.
The convention will meet next year
in Salisbury.

CHURCH EDITOR
DEFENDS
GRAN 7
Southern Churchman" Chief,
DR.. Bowie, of Richmond,
Fears NarroWness.

RICHMOND, Va. Feb. 8.-Just
a few weeks before his departure
from Richmond to become rector of
Grace Episcopal Church, New York
city, DIR. w. Russell Bowie, Of st.
Paurs Episcopal Church, has come
out in partial support of the Rev.
Percy Stickney Grant In his contro-
versy with Bishop Manning.
In the current issue of the South
ern Churchman, an editorial Of
which DIR. Bowie is the author dis
cusses the controversy at length,
and makes the firm assertion that
with his CDR. Grant'sl fundamental
idea that loyalty to Jesus Christ as
our Divine Saviour is consistent with
large Interpretations Of ancient
formulas of the church, we do pro-
foundry and reverently agree"
Criticising Bishop Manning's let
ter Of January 10, calling upon DIR.
Grant Ito correct Enthusiastically the
impression which you have publicly
given of your disbelief in our Lord
Jesus Christ as God and Saviour, or,
II it is not possible for you to do
so, then to withdraw from the min
istry of this church." DR.. Bowie
expresses his disappointment in that
lit does not convey the impression
Of a shepherd Of the shepherds try
ing to help one whom he felt to be
in error into more true agreement.
Rather, the letter has the voice of
the ecclesiastical superior pronounc-
ing judgment and there is a GER
tain uncompromising abruptness,
and a not very deft use Of language
in it's final demand"
Defending DR.. Grant, DIR. Bowie
says that much he has said has
failed to do his own faith justice.
He has in him some of the quail
fications of the prophet-the prop
bets earnestness, yet also the
prophets crudeness, the prophets
scornful anger of things that need
to be demolished yet also, perhaps,
the prophets unawaredness of the
gentle patience which is needed to
avoid a hurt to souls that are slow
to understand.
THE greatest danger is not that
either side will be guilty of deliber-
ate wrong" says the editorial in
conclusion. "but that one side or
both may fall into inconsiderate mar
rowness."
DIR. Bowie, who has resigned from
st. Pauls, will go to New York
March I. He will continue to edit
the Southern Churchman there.

SPRING MODES
SHOW R|CH
COLORS
Printed Crepes More Fashion
able Than Ever in Paris
Costumes.
BY ALICE LANGELIER.
CosmOuOlitan News Service.

PARIS, Feb. 5.-"Made in Paris
the gowns are labelled, but one
would believe they came from lands
far distant
Algeria, AMMAN, Morocco, Indo-
China, the Senegal, the Balkans
and Russia-these are the countries
which furnish the inspiration for
the handsome materials Partisan
designers are showing for spring
wear.
The designs are rich in color and
admirably adapted to the present
mode. The material itself is almost
like the tissues woven by hand.
There is 'djellaba," a light wool
irregularly woven of ashy tint like
Moroccan tissues, and crepe Togo"
''toilannam," tussor from AMMAN
and "marokaia." a coarse wool and
silk crepe with the inequalities of
Shantung. With these embroidered
patterns one combines plain ma
terials to turn out charming cos
tunes.
''Mosaique marokellaine" is COM
bined with black satin and bordered
by a silk braid to make lovely
morning costume. "Djellabas del
Hajeb" makes little bOlero to
wear over a street costume, draped
in front and trimmed with the
same woven material. "Angkoor'
shawls with wide borders are
fashioned into handsome cape cos
tunes.
Printed crepes are to- be more
fashionable than ever. One of
Madrie's models has black flowers
on a white background. She is
using these crepes to make cos
tunes with little capes of hiplength
made of the same material and
trimmed in solid color.
