The extremely hot weather has done
an untold damage to the Cobbler crop
Of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. This
lis particularly true of the section from
Keller north to the Maryland line.

its potato crop was planted earlier
and consequently was farther advanc-
ed when the hot weather came. Fields
of potatoes that were in their prime
ten days ago are now yellow and Civ
ing up. The drough has had its effect
also but the greatest damage was
done by the hot weather, the potato
plants whitening under the hot rays
of the sun. Exchange officials on
Thursday said that from the best in
formation they were able to gather
the crop is cut at least in half. With
a crop of 10000 cars from that sec
ton last year, the present prospect is
for a crop not to exceed 10000 cars
this year. Of course weather condi-
tons may yet help the crop in some
sections, particularly in upper Acco-
mack, but in others it is too late
The outlook at the present is for
good prices for the entire crop. The
demand is far in excess of the supply
and with big crop Eastern Shore po-
tatoes would have commanded good
prices during the entire season as the
crop is very short in other sections
also.

Fifty children arrived in Claiborne
last week to spend vacation at the
Miracle House, or Preventorium.
Guests of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association, they are drawn from both
sides of the Chesapeake. All of them
are underweight and fit targets for
the aim of the great White Plague.
Through the tall pine trees the
sun shown on the double barred cross
on the white preventorium as they
came. A beacon light of promise it
seemed, a symbol of the k.ndliness
and skillful doctoring which awaited
them.
Nearly 800 children will have been
visitors there by the end of the next
three months. Public health nurses
in Baltimore and the counties have
Ienro.led from their reports those who
have been exposed to or are deemed
especially susceptible to tuberculosis.
How long this period of rehabilita-
ton will last is to be governed in ev-
cry instance by the physical condi-
ton of the child.
Splash;ng in the salt water in front
of the Miracle House, swinging in
the half dozen swings beneath the
pine and maple trees, tumbling down
the sliding boards and playing with
toys which have been sent there for
them make up a day of frolic and OF
joy.
Besides this these boys and girls
learn how to take care of their little
bodies. Theye are given plenty Of
health building food, regular hours to
rest, open windows, sunlight and
cleanliness. During their stay the
nurse in charge weighs them every
week and personally supervises their
progress.
The day begins at z and ends at
sunset, or at or o'clock. Bedtime
is regulated by age, which varies
from to IL years. But somehow this
always comes too soon, for there are
so many interesting things to do and
to be glad about there.
Story telling time is an hour of real
delight when the boys and girls gath
er under the shade of some big tree
to hear the wonders of fairy tale
which is to them less marvellous than
the reality which is now their own.
"What palace could be more lovely
than the Miracle House?" they ask.
Nothing could be more suitable for
the complete satisfaction of half a
hundred children in the summer. The
wide sunparlor, with it's smooth pol
ished floor, has window seat lockers
filed with tops. There on rainy days
the children congregate.

After parading back and forth OH
his small farm for weeks, dirty and
unkempt, wearing only a straw hat
five summers old as his wearing APP
parel, Joshua Phillips, white, alleged
lunatic, aged about IS years, of near
Eden, Nd, has been arrested and COM

bridge.
For years Phillips has been living
in poverty in his dilapidated shack
Just across the Worcester county line,
six miles from Eden.
The arrest was made by Sheriff
Wilmer S .Purnell of this county.
According to reports, numerous
complaints have been made to the
Worcester county authorities concern
ing the actions of Phillips, who, it is
said was annoying the neighborhood.
Proceeding to Phillips home, Sher-
if Purnell, assisted by a party from
Berlin, discovered the aged crazed
man sprawled upon the dirty floor of
his shack, nude, amid pile of chicken
feathers, babbling to himself, and
wearing his inevitable straw hat. The
feathers it was learned had been the
old mans bed for months. Underfed
and unkempt, the crazed man pre-
sented a most pitiful appearance. The
shack was bare of doors and window
panes. No food was in evidence any
where.
Staring at his visitors with suspi-
cion and lunacy written upon his face
the old man proceeded to welcome
the Sheriff and his party with SER
les of high pitched laughs.
Sheriff Purne1l and his party pro-
ceeded quietly to bundle the aged man

|ROmping Around
the
| Radio Dial
BY Listner-m-

The past week end was a
memorable one for listeners-in.
Outstanding, of course, was the
recital by Reinald Werrenrath,
the great American baritone, last
night, over WCAP and connected
stations, as the inaugural of the
new series Of. Atwater-Kent Hour
Of Music.
We were a little disappointed
in the loud-speaker reproduction
of Mr.. Werrenrath's voice, but
those who listened over head
phones report that it carried to
them in all It's richness and
vigorous power. The loud-speaker,
though, seemed to fail somewhat
in this, its first real test.
or the dozen or SO songs OF
fered by Werrenrath during the
little more than hour he was on
the. air, we liked the "Toreador
Song from Carmen, best Of all.
That difficult piece gave the
listener some idea Of the real
power Of Werrenrath's voice.
incidentally, the Atwater-Kent
hour gave us demonstrations of
three almost perfect radio-speak-
meg voices. The first was that
Of Graham McNamee, the incom-
parable; second, was A. Atwater
Kent's, whose talk was inter-
rupted SO abruptly, but not be-
fore we had. q sample OF his
voice, and the third was that
of Werrenrath himself. If the
latter should, at any time, give
up his present career. he would
have no trouble qualifying as an
announcer.
The Capitol Theater program.
which probably had one Of It's
biggest audiences because of the
event 1t Immediately preceded.
was well qualified to lead up to
Werrenrath's recital. It was one
of the best we have heard the
gang In for some time. Two OF
the numbers which linger with
us today are the cornet solo AT
Dawning" offered during the
stage presentation, and Wee
Willie's rendition Of "Smilin
Through" given for the un-
fortunate veteran at Walter Reed.
And last, but NOT least, OF the
big events Of the weekend, was
the program by Crandall's Satur-
day Nighters from the radio
show. Saturday night, over WRC.
It would not have been amiss to
have conducted the two popularity
contests for local radio enter
tanners during that Crandan bill
which included best radio per-
formers.
It would be too much Of a task
to try to pick out any one Of two
numbers form that long program
as the best OF the evening. All
were good.
A resumption OF the weekly
concerts by the A. & p. Gypsies
will mark tonight's program from
WCAP. Other leading attractions
will be a recital by Fritz A.
