PARKSLEY MAN
ELECTED HEAD
OF'SHO LEAGUE
Harry J. Rev, ESQ.,, Chosen To
Lead Organized Base Ball On
Eastern Shore
SIXTH CLUB IS NOT
YET In EVIDENCE

The Eastern Shore Base Ball
League has a new president-Harry
Rev, Esq, of Parksley, Va.
Rev, who represents Accomac coun-
ty in the Virginia Legislature, is said
to be deep student of the game, and
his admirers, who included all the
delegates at the conference, declared
\ he should make the peninsula wheel
capable executive.
Rev is one of the best-known at
torneys on the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia and is held in high esteem by
his countrymen. Besides the election
of the other league officials, the most
important business transacted was the
organization of four-club league for
next season.
The towns holding franchises are
Cambridge and Salisbury, Md; Dow
er, Del, and Parksley, Va. Each has
posted $500 in good faith to see the
season through.
There is possibility that the cir
cult will be composed Of six towns,
the other two being Crisfeld and Eas-
ton, with St. Michaels as dark horse
should Easton be unable to see it's
way clear to come in. A committee of
five, with President Rev, will visit
Easton in the near future to try to
induce that town to accept berth.
This committee is composed of ]. M.
Chandler, Parksley (chairman); Ora
ham Gunby, Salisbury; M. Hayes Will
son, Dover, and B. w. Goldsborough
and w. T. Sibbett Cambridge.
Salisbury has made splendid move
in it's selection of a manager. DR.. A.
B. Burriss, at one time crack pitch
er, hailing from Delaware, will be at
the helm, and no team in the league
will have better mentor. Further,
besides his base ball knowledge and
experience, he will bring to the club
directors, the fans, the players, and
every one interested IN the success of
the team perfect confidence in his in
tegrity and his desire to place his
team at the top. Under him, the play
ers must do their best or he will know
the reason why. He can be depended
upon to instill into his men desire
to win, and good season for Sails
bury is predicted.
Easton has been talked of but the
baseball bee stopped buzzing when
Frank Baker was approached to han
die the club. Bakers terms were said
to be $1,000 month, with percentage
of the gate receipts and slice of all
players sold. Those who might put
money into the club were frightened
off at such talk.
The leagy was represented by the
following:
Cambridge-Dr. B. w. Goldsbor
ough, w. T. Sibbett, Sidney H. Henry
D. Wright, C. M. Dunn, L.. D. I
Noble, Robert H. Matthews, Fredericl
F. Stevens and James McAlister.

Various Races Haze
Musical Preference

Races of men, and even families,
have musical preferences of such pro-
nounced kind that the complexion Of
the singer can often be told from his
song, says the man who has observed.
There are three parts to music
rhythm. harmony and drama. Jazz mu-
sic is mostly rhythm. sacred music is
largely harmony, and the popular
songs are mainly drama.
Nordic music Is the most highly dra-
matte Of all. BY dramatic the reflec-
tion of human emotions is meant. No
where. except where Teutonie is
spoken from the heart, can you find
such songs as annie Laurie" Home,
Sweet Home" or "Ninety-and-N Nine"
Various people respond best to their
own racial music. Some time when
you are where many selections are be-
ing played before a mixed evidence,
notice the cleaning in the eyes of diff
ferent types as the music Of each is
played. Or, If you cannot do this, go
into music room Of a public library
and note the kind of people who come
there and the sort of matter they take
away. Or, If this is not possible, 20 to
some music teacher and ask him how
many blonde pupils ever master his
complicated lessons, compared with
the brunettes, and see II he does not
tell you that their number is few

CHAPTER XII
A Man From Down the River.

a man from DOWN tno river.
Kenneth's first night in the old
Gwyn house was an uneasy, restless
one, filed with tormenting doubts as
to his strength or even his willingness
to continue the battle against the
forces of nature.
viola's night was also disturbed.
Some strange, mysterious instinct was
at work within her. although she was
far from being aware Of its signifi-
canoe. She lay awake for a long time
thinking Of him.. She was puzzled.
Over and over again she asked her.

Il suppose so. You are sure you

Her mother arose from the table.
There was suggestion OF fatalism in
her reply. II think 1 can understand
your desire to be with him."
Rachels strong, firm shoulders
urooped little as she passed into the
sitting room. She sat down abruptly
IN one of the stiff rocking chairs. and

MUNICIPAL
HOUSEKEEPING

OF all the part-time Jobs that have
recently developed for women, those
connected with municipal housekeep-
ing" seem to have proved the most in
teresting. Local political tasks ordi-
narily pay SO lit4le that they can be
undertaken only by the woman who
has sufficient income to meet her
needs, plus some time that she would
like to put to service outside her
home.
A book which modestly announces
itself as the who's Who and What's
What of the Woman's World" lists
Of the town council of Oakdale, La,
as a real achievement. To get the
background Of her work it is said, it's
almost necessary to have visited
Louisiana; to know the force that old
French plus old Southern tradition is
still exercising to keep out 1nnova-
tions; and to have felt the power ex-
erted by the dictum, 1--WE want our
women to be ladies of the old type"
The first councilwoman in Louisiana
trained herself in knowledge of par
liamentary law, public questions, ETC.,
by serving In the State Federation of
Women's Clubs She organized and
has for nine years been president of
the Oakdale Civic league. Meanwhile,
she kept the devotion Of husband, chill
dren and neighbors. The young peo-
pie of Oakdale know that her home is
always open for parties. She finds
time to produce two or three plays
year for charitable purposes that
bring all the civic, spirits of town and
parish together. Withal she is most
perfect hostess of a charming home
which is never neglected"
To all this, Mrs. Lutte Fitzgerald of
Oakdale. who thus describes her
neighbor, adds courage. In the city
government questions arose which
Mrs. Brown could settle neither by
tact nor by parliamentary skill. Poll.
tics ranged itself on one side. Mrs
Browns belief in how 1t ought to be
done ranged itself on the other side.
Influence sided sometimes with poll
tics. II politics was wrong on the
one question, "Will this thing leave
mark for good on the city?" Mrs.
Brown consistently voted against poll
tics.

The art of fashioning window cards,

and for all purposes has been the
specially Of b, Boaz, Jr.. Of 10 Penn
broke Arcade, for many years. Mr..
Boaz produces every kind Of display
for selling purposes. from the tiniest
individually drawn card to the larges.
metal signs.
In the attractiveness of the card or
sign is it's greatest va1ue. To get its
message across a card or sign must
be pleasing to the eye and the words
used must be the sort that arrests
attention and holds 1t.
Mr. Boaz has enjoyed the distinc-
ton Of being a capable instructor in
the art of card writing and sign fash
ioning. The John Heron Art Insti-
