mittee Of $50 boy scouts, bands and
many prominent people, said today
his future plans concerning rejoin-
ing the world flight hinged on his
conference with Major General
Patrick.
He said the only word he had
had from washington was q tel0~
graphic message from General Pat
rick assuring him he wanted him
to rejoin and lead the world flight.
This message was sent Major Mar.
tin after word came that he and
Sergeant Harvey were safe at Port
Moller.

Immediately transferred to the tug
which brought his family when it
pulled alongside the Catherine D.

the cheeks Of the officer and his
wife when they clasped each other
in their arms. while Bobby" with
all his boyish fervor, tugged at his
fathers knee.
Major Martins voice shook with
regret when he spoke OF the
wrecked airship which lie all his
dreams and hopes Of completing the
circle Of the globe by air.
Except for Martins injured nose.

none the worse for wear from their
narrowing escape from death.

OFFICES
Mayor and CounoiImen Have
Stiff Opposition First
Time in Years
ROCKVILLE. Nd, Nav 2s.-

ROCKVILLE. Md, May 2S.-At
the biennial town election next
Monday, Kensington will, for the
first time in many years, have q
contest over the selection OF a
mayor and members Of the town
council.
Mayor Paul D. Kelleter and
Councilman Richard F. Green and
Louis I, Valentine are candidates
for reelection and are being backed
by the Kensington Home, School
and Community Association. Alfred
Ray for mayor and Reuben r.
Palmer and c. r. Hughes for the
town council are opposing them
and a real fight is on.
It is said on the one hand that
what IL referred to as the ''opposi-
ton" ticket was placed in the field
because of a feeling on the part
of some that the Home, School
and Community Association has en-.
tirely too much influence with the
present town officials, but members
Of the association assert that the
real reason was that some of the
more prominent insurgents" or
"reformers," as they cali them, de-
sire a change in the personnel of
the board in the hope of having
some selfish axes" ground.
The annual May procession Of
the children of st. Mary's Catholic
Church here took place yesterday

Ruth Cissel was crown bearer. The
ceremonies closed with the benedic.
ton of the blessed sacrament, the
pastor Of the church, the Rev. John
T. Coolahan, officiating.
Cedric Money, whose home is on
the Conduit road, near Cabin John,
paid fine of $500 and costs upon
conviction before Judge Samuel
Riggs in the police court here Of
violating the local option law Of
the county. His arrest followed q
visit to his home by Sheriff Clay
Plummer, who found there q small
quantity Of liquor.

In the attitude to be taken on the

It Is certain that much will be
written in the Republican platform

Will take is a matter to be handled

the army for the chief executive of q

fidence in our army by suggesting
that, while We are at peace with
other nations, said army should share
the burdens Of law enforcement with
him? Is it not rather honoring our
soldier boys?
Just what caused the gentleman to
indulge in such a strange dream this
writer knows not. The cause may
have been wet or II may have been
dry. Perhaps the recent persistent
law-enforcement experiences in Phila-
delphia and Texas had something TO
do with it. That we have governor
of Texas who is endeavoring TO. "live

cannot be questioned. And that. too.
in spite of efforts Of some members of
our Legislature to keep his hands tied.
Many soldiers would gladly assist him.

A TIRED FARMER
WHY NOT "TOTE FAIR"

To the Editor:
In the Sunday, February "a, issue
of your valued journal, under, Hot
Shot for Pat Neff," is a criticism
which seems entirely unfair, but which
discovers a trait which, from various
causes, occasionally forces itself to the
open.
Without accusing the gentleman
from Philadelphia of Intentionally
wronging our governor, let us look at
his statement: while on the train
Sunday last, coming from New Or.
leans, / read statement in one of
the dailies. made by man in a local
pulpit, while he was haranguing over
enforcement of the eighteenth amend
ment. saying that it could be en-
forced if the soldiers of our army
were used for that purpose. Then he
made the slurring and traitorons
statement that there were 10000 sol
diers hereabouts who did nothing but
eat and sleep. Out of Difference to our
gallant army and also for the benefit
of our hundred millions of people IN
their uplift of civilization such con-
temptible statements should be clipped
in the bud, and electrocutcd by the
sunlight of Justice"
I 1t is difficult to understand where
in that statement man can find any
thing "slurring and traitorous' unless
he has a peculiar antipathy for the
speaker. Surely in times of peace Vt
is not wrong nor disgraceful for SOL

for certain kinds Of short haul, allow
transportation in cities" He did not
specify, but he may have had in mind
dray service for getting bank officials
to and from their labors mornings
and afternoons. That would be rather
restful to tired bones, wouldn't it, Or
would il?
One veteran" from Kansas, seemed
to be rather hard-boiled in his discus.
sion, and evidently is not in favor of
using moral suasion in teaching the
farmer to eat from the hand. He
counseled bankers in agricultural re-
gions to call in his farmer creditor
and question him as to the methods
he is using" What do you think o
that? Isn't that hard-boiled? Has q
creditor no rights? He also urged that
farmers be advised to raise poultry
and milk cattle" and, while frankly
acknowledging that lit takes work to
milk" he appears not to regard that
as valid reason for the farmers side
stepping it. With parting shot he
AYERS that "too many are inclined to
seek living through speculation and
not enough through hard work." This
was q banker talking about farming.
Fine philosophy, Ell? Gathered it from
Noon time and June-time Down
Around the River, may be?
The Governor of the Federal Re
serve Bank of Kansas City spoke.
He, probably, did not know anything
about farming, or thought all had been
said. So he just spoke"
1t sure was interesting to read. But
/ looked in vain for reference to the
eight-hour law or the Saturday-clos-
ing problem. Probably that will be
taken up at a later conference. Any
how, it sure was interesting. And the
cheerful. not to say mirthful. irony
of it! 1t came out on the 22nd, and,
while the farmers were gaily perus-
ing it over their grapefruit and tako-
mas, the bankers were 'hoofing it
out INTO the country, to help milk the
cows and dope the poultry during the
holiday!
How beautiful and entertaining and
profitable is diversified farming, at a
nice polished oak desk with a mild
Havana and a trunkful Of advice at
your elbow!

To The Editor:
l see be the pa-apers, as our friend,
Mr.. Dooly, would express 1T. that the
bankers of the Tenth Federal Reserve
district have had another regional con-
ference.
1t looks to me" as il they are
growing alarmed at the apparent
strong tendency Of us farmers to line
up with union labor or kindred forces
of "Urbs in horto," and are about to
forestall it by becoming our co-part-
ners in pastoral activities.
They had several speakers at this
conference, it appears. and these GER
tainly were liberal in their offerings OF
free information and advice to farm
ers. but the papers failed to state If
any farmers were present at the ban
auet-it ended with a banquet. Yes,
I forgot-there was one farmer there.
He is operating" a farm and bank
at the same time. And speaking of op-
erations-but no matter. He said 1t
takes more brains to run farm than
a bank. Wouldn't that raise n recum-
bent renter and rout him from his
roOst?
Some speakers STRESSED the close
bonds between banker and farmer"
Liberty bonds, / suppose were meant,
but the issue or rate was not dis
closed.

mos horses, saying they are cheaper

the least Of these is the love devotion

/ the least Of these is the love. devotion
and affection of her mothers.
At any rate, as the well known
proverb runs, it i'll becomes those liv.
ing in glass houses to throw stones
Hence, when we look up our court
records of divorce cases. when we
glance at the newspapers and see the
sensational stories of divorce scandals
love triangles and Quadrangles and
soul affinities and similar camouflaged
iniquities. when we realize the high
percentage of matrimonial ventures
that end in utter shipwreck, when we
take all this into consideration, /:
seems to me that, whenever other
peoples are concerned in this particu-
lar matter. the wise and sensible thing
for us to do is to let them alone and
merely discuss the subject among our
selves and try and endeavor to remedy
our great national domestic evil as
best rs We may.
For the rest, do not care at pres
ent, nor was it my original purpose,
to discuss the personal views Of the
writer of the editorial on the moral
and ethical side of this burning ques-
ton Of the day, domestic unhappiness,
its causes, or its remedies. He has
the right, like anybody else to his in
dividual opinions.
However. / should like to throw in.
by way of suggestion, this one single
thought, namely, that the foundation
upon which marriage is based is far
more firm and solid than human laws
customs and agreements.
Marriage is not of human, but of
divine origin and institution; it is a
sacred contract safeguarded not mere
ly by human laws. but by divine sane
tions and ordinances. Hence the duties
and rights and prerogatives of the
family or domestic society are prior
to those of the state or civil society,
both in fact and in idea. The unity
and indissolubility of the bond OF
matrimony depend not on the will of
men, but on the will and decree Of
Him who in the beginning uttered the
words, increase and multiply" and

reiterated the original injunction and
command when He said: What God
hath Joined together, let no man put

To The Editor:
With the presidential election loom
ing on the horizon, and the candidates
on each side lining up for the contest
and starting to throw mud at each
other, am beginning to wonder just
what Mr.. Hiram Johnson's war cry
will be.
With all the Teapot Dome oil
scandal and the argument, for and
against the Mellon plan, l am afraid
that the worthy senator from Cali
fornia will have a hard time making
up his mind just which way to jump,
not that i have any intention of in
sinuating that Mr.. johnson is in the
habit of jumping every time he gets
chance, but still, l certainly do not
think the gentleman from California
would ever pass W choice bit of
scandal like that. without passing a
few remarks on it. Possibly his cry
will somewhat of a warning, as fol-
lows:
If ever you should chance to roam !;
Stray far, stray far from Teapot
Dome,
For 10 ! some oil man may get rash !;
And offer you, ten thousand cash.
He may not ask you for your note /;
He may just tell you how to vote,
And may ask you to sign your name ;
On an oil lease, of some i'll fame.
So in your travels, watch your step ;
Or you may some day get rep,
1t may not be the kind you want;
But be somewhat inclined TO haunt.
And 10 in all your nightmare dreams :
The oil may pass in rushing streams,
May pass with swirling. kissing roar /;
And cast you on barren shore.
So listen to the words T say;
And let them guide you on your
way,
Though burdens may seem hard TO
bear:
Keep far away from all Sin, Clair.
Or maybe he will be inclined to
use not only the Teapot Dome" af-
fair, but will tell the dear voters
that the Mellon plan is all wrong and

Persons distributing handbills by

ing them on windshields of cars will
be prosecuted in the corporation court,
Commissioner of Fire and Police Phil
Wright declared Saturday. Com
plants had come TO the commissioner
that stickers were being placed on
automobiles without the consent of
the owners. A city ordinance speci-
fically prohibits this practice, Com
missioner Wright said and those who
violate it are subject to fine. 1t is
against the law to distribute hand
bills, place them in automobiles or
paste them on windshields. City po-
licemen have been given instructions
to rigidly enforce the ordinance, the
commissioner said.
