WESTERN MARYLAND
QUINT VICTORIOUS
Defeat Allcollegian Team Repre-
senting Salisbury By Score
OF Is To n.

The Salisbury Evening Times COM
tains the following interesting ac-
count Of the basket ball game which
took place between Western Maryland
College and the Collegian team
representing Salisbury. The game was
played in the Armory:
A Western Maryland College ath-
letic team has made it's first invasion
Of Salisbury and like the Roman
hordes of old, they came, they saw,
they conquered.
On the First Regiment Armory
court last night, the colors Of the
Westminster institution was faunt-
ed in the forefront after twice being
trailed in the dust of the affray. Ken
Shroyer's charges stood on the long
end of a rs to 22 score when the refe-
reefs final whistle sounded and the
throng of basketball fans Of the sea-
son saw the Salisbury Collegians TAX
en- in tow.
Thrills aplenty marked the hard.
fought contest from the start. Then
with but three and half minutes to
play the Methodists were leading BY
a single point with the tally recording
10 to 20. The final was decidedly the
most strenuous period of the battle
for both the spectators and the two
quints.
Beginning a spirited offensive,
Western Maryland soon discovered
that they were encountering a rigid
resistance, and the orders to change
tactics were passed down the line.
For the remainder of the contest, at
tention was centered on the defense
with such effect that the Collegians
were able to penetrate the guard only
on singular instances-and that at
jnfrequent intervals.
"Stan" Robbins, the former Wash
ington College athlete, starred for the
Collegians by brilliant attacks of the
opposing guard. Duffy, Smith and
Hynson, also displayed considerable
prowess in the floor maneuvers Ben
son, who had previously participated
in the High school tilt conducted him
self in the manner of a veteran a.
gainst the odds Of experience and
weight.
For Western Maryland, Stanley
was the outstanding star. In individu-
al work alone, the visiting center Sc
cured six field goals. Flanagan and
Weigle, also featured by superior
work.
In the preliminary engagement Wi
comico High easily won from the
Cambridge High cagemen, to the tune
of rs to 9. The local lads showed the
marks of superior training and ex,
perience over the Dorchester county
representatives.

R. R. SITUATION
ON SHORE ACUTE
PopuIace Resists Scrapping And
Sale OF Lateral Lines. Roads
And Bus Lines At Odds

The railroad situation on the East
ern Shore as regards lateral lines,
seems to be acute, just at present. A
firm of Philadelphia junk dealers
bought the Md, Del, and Va, road
with the idea of scrapping it, but the
United States District Court seems
disposed to compel them to operate
the line. A petition has been filed in
Baltimore asking that an injunction
be laid against the tearing up of the
rails.
The Pennsylvania system is made
co-defendant1 in this petition, and
there are some fine legal points in
volved.
Coming down the peninsula, the
Pennsylvania Company proposes to
abandon its Baltimore Claiborne fer
ry and also that portion of the B. c.
& A. Railroad between Easton and
Claiborne, petition having been pre-
sentcd to the Public Service Commis-
sion for leave so to do. The Commits
son says they will not consent to the
abandonment of service.
So far as q settlement of the con-
troversy is concerned, there is an Of
fer from a Baltimore syndicate to
buy the former road and operate it. #
the owners refuse to sell or ask an
exorbitant price, then the injunction
will be served, compelling them to
operate.
In the meantime, the Shore Tram
sit Notorious Company is preparing
to run lines the whole length of the
fpeninsula and the second route of the
projected Eastern Shore system be-
gan to operate this week between
Easton and Rock Hall Ferry via Long
wood, Wye Mills, Centreville, Church
Hill and Chestertown.
It is already operating the route
between Salisbury and the Claiborne
ferry.
Two buses will be operated on the
Easton-Roc Hall route at the outset
OF the street car type they will have
capacity of 21 and % passengers,
respectively.
Schedules are so arranged as to
make connections with the buses op-
Grating between Salisbury and Clai-
borne, thus giving through north and
south service, in a direct line, be-
tween Salisbury and Chestertown and
all intermediate points for the first
time in the history Of the Eastern
Shore.
These buses are convenient, COM
modious and comfortable. They are
doubtless responsible for the lack Of
patronage which has made the rail.
roads improbable. x

provisions Of the tariff law.

Two Canning and Cooking Helps


Dear Mrs. Thomas: | have been
reading your writings in The Atlanta
Tri- Weekly Journal for some time
and I certainly do enjoy them.
/ have just finished reading your
article called Canning Time" and /
want to tell all of you about the
process my mother uses, and l ma
il better than any other and surer.
Mother has Gamer and steam
cooker all in one. 1t has four shelves
and two square pans. In the bottom
is a place to hold water. Then up
one corner runs a pipe; on top of
that pipe is a whistle that blows
just Is minutes before the water is
all out it steam cooks all your veg
etables. BY taking out the second
and fourth shelves you can pat four
teen one-quart jars in at one time.
Or you can put in six two-quart jars
at one time. This saves time, and
only takes one burner or one place
on your wood stove. There is no
danger of your vegetables or fruit
scorching or burning, as it is all
stcam-cooked.
This is particularly good for cook
ing roasts, green corn, rice, boiling
potatoes or anything of the eatable
description eXceptp grits. 1t doesn't
brown anything, but cooks the finest
roasts and it retains all the juicy
f1avors that you cook out in a
rooster.
When canning you blanch your
vegetables, put them in the jars and
Just lay the top on top of the jar
and setl in the Gamer and when 1t
has cooked a certain length of time
seal the tops down good and you
certainly will not lose any fruits or
vegetables. Your vegetables taste as
if you had just gathered them.
Mother uses her Gamer for peas,
corn, vegetable soup, okra and all
the other vegetables that are hard
to keep and she never loses jar.
These Gamers or steam cookers
can be obtained from the Toledo
Steam Cooker Co., Toledo, O., with
a book of directions for canning and
cooking Also You can get them
from Charles William Stores, New
York City. I am sending you the
picture Of them.
Hoping you will pardon my
lengthy epistle and also hoping il
will help some one. I remain,

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

The thing that would make for
her happiness would be for him to
be pleasant to live with, for him to
be fair and generous about money
and for him to give her what he
could afford without haggling over
it.
1t is a qualification to a woman
to know that her husband is no
philanderer, that vamps would vamp
him in vain, and that he would
rather have a tooth!ess bag of a.
stenographer who could spell than
the peachiest flapper who was not
on speaking terms with the diction-
airy
But faithfulness is of small avail
in making wife happy if her hus-
| band apparently regards her as
nothing more than a piece Of useful
household furniture; if he never
shows her any tenderness or affec-
ton or gives any sign that he still
cares for her.
The thing that would make her
go down on her knees and thank
God for having given her her hearts
desire in a husband would be for
him to be pleasant to live with, for
him to keep up the lover-like at
tentions of their counting days; for
him to still give her kisses that had
thrill to them, instead of having
the insulting, clammy flap of a cold
buckwheat cake; for him to tell her
that she grew more beautiful to
him and dearer as the years went
by, and that his lucky day was the
wifi
A woman rejoices in her husbands
success in business. She is proud
to know that he is respected in the
| community, but she can be utterly
miserable if he has a surly and a
| grouchy disposition; if he never
speaks at home except to find fault,
and if the family lives in terror of
doing or saying something that will
| bring on a maniacal burst of temper.
| The husband who makes life a
| grand, sweet song to his wife is the
man who is pleasant to live with;
| the man who is sunshine and
strength in a home; who Is cheerful
and good-natured; who jollies his
wife and pets his children, and at
| the very sound OF whose key in the
door everybody brightens up and be-
| gins to smile.
And precisely the same thing is
| true of wives as of husbands. The
good wife is not necessarily the best
woman, or the best cook, or the best
! housel--eper, or the best manager,
or even the woman who loves her
| husband best. Many woman who
! would gladly die for her husband
nags him so that he would be will
ing to die to get rid of her: Many
a woman who saves every cent of
| her husbands money is equally eco
nomical of her consideration for
| him.
Many woman who possesses all
| OF the virtues has none of the amen
/ tiles of life.
The perfect wife is the woman
| who is pleasant to live with, no mat
| ter whether she can cook, or has
| the bargain complex, or is a high
| brow or a lowbrow. She is the
| woman who cheerful and good
natured; who is reasonable; who is
/ a good sport; who is appreciative
! and contented, and who can say a
! thing once and let it so at that.
That is why being pleasant to live
with is the great domestic virtue,

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
Walks Every Day to
Tomb of Husband

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Up the
steep hill that leads to the great
cathedral standing sentinel like
above the city where rests the re
mains of Woodrow Wilson, a lonely
black-clad figure daily makes its
ways.
1t is Mrs. Woodrow Wilson MAX
ing her unfailing pilgrimage to the
silent tomb in the high-vaulted chap
ell. With her own hands the widow
Of the dead president makes certain
that fresh flowers stand beside his
resting place.
In the bleak winter days, Mrs.
Wilson drove to the cathedral, but
now that the warm spring sunshine
is bringing into leaf the naples that
line Massac husctts avenue, she
walks the mile from the street
house where Woodrow Wilson died.
Her walking costume is unusual.
She is now wearing a plain black
satin shirtwaist and skirt and
heavy flowing widows veil She
wears no jewelry or ornament.
Frequently Mrs. Wilson carries
the fresh cut flowers herself, the
bright tinted roses contrasting
sharply with her sombre costume.
She bears them tenderly by the
tomb, kneels and murmurs y prayer
and turning sadly away, walks home
again.
Occasionally she has a compan-
ion. He is Rear Admiral Cary T.
Grayson, Woodrow Wilson's person
al physician and devoted friend, who
watched over him from the hour he
was stricken to the moment Of his
death.
For the remainder of the day.
Mrs. Wilson leads the quietest of
lives. She never goes out and only
a few intimate friends are welcomed
to the S street house.

to be happy or miserable. Which is
the reason why many a saint with
a grOuchy temperament and a two
edged tongue gets hauled into the
divorce court, and why many an
easy-going sinner leaves behind an
inconsolable widow or widower.
1t is curious but true, that things
that count so much before marriage
matter very little after marriage
Before marriage we put great stress
on personal pulchritude, on mental
brilliance, on suave and charming
manners. We are allured by a beau
tiful face. We are fascinated by a
witty and entertaining conVersat ton
alist. We are charmed by those who
have graciousncss and poise, but
after marriage we grow tired Of look
ing at even a living picture, and we
soon cease to see beauty in it if that

can perpetually scintillate in the
family circle and they would bore
us to death if they did. Nor is there
any place for the grand manner in
everyday home life.

complishments and talents go into
the discard, and that thing that is
of vital Importance is just the, dis
position of the one with whom we
have to live day in and day out, in
good weather or bad, in prosperity
or adversely, in sickness or in
health.
OF course, viewing the matter
from an ethical standpoint, a wife
is glad that her husband is a man
of probity, whose word is as good
as his bond, and that he is spoken
of as Honest John Jones'" But the
knowledge th--t her husband is in
corruptibly honest does not make it
any easier for Mrs. John Jones to
get money out of him if he is a tight
wad, nor does it take the sting and
humiliation out of her having to
panhandle him for carfare, nor keep
her from hating him on the first OF
every month when she tremblingly
presents him with the monthly bills
and goes through the scenes that
ensue.
