Eastern Shore Bus
Lines Are Merged

After a great deal of discussion
and dealing, the merging of the Shore
Transit Bus line with the Chester
town COLCHESTER line has been con-
summated.
This is case of the big fellow fore
ing the little fellow out. 1t will be re-
called that the Shore Line attempted
to put their buses into colchester
without the formality of asking per-
mission of Mr.. Barnett, the owner of
the COLCHESTER route. The case came
up for settlement before the Public
Service Commission, and Mr.. Barnett
was protected in his rights so far as
local transit is concerned The Shore
line could proceed to COLCHESTER with
through passengers but could not pick
UP any business between Chestertown
and Colchester.
The price paid for Mr.. Barnett's
territory is said to be around $4,000,
and the acquisition gives the Shore
line approximately 235 miles of trav-
ell. The deal was consummated on
the first anniversary of the operation
of the Shore Line under it's present
management.

GO TO PRINCESS ANNE
Rev. Roy Rolfe Gibson, Rector Of St.
Pauls Episcopal Church, Berlin,
Goes To Somerset Town

Rev. Roy Rolife Gibson, rector of
St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Berlin,
Nd, and one of the, most prominent
Episcopal ministers in the Eastern
States, has been secured as the new
pastor at St. Andrews Protestant E.
piscopal Church of Princess Anne.
The new rector is a native of New
England, having come down to Wor-
cester county from Maine several
years ago. Rev. ellison is a middle
aged man of high intellectual ability
and his acceptance of the rectorate
in Princess Anne has brought forth
considerable approval from the par
ishoners in that section who are for
tunate enough to be acquainted with
him.
Efforts have been in progress sew
eral weeks by members of St. An
drews Episcopal Church to select a
rector to fill the place made vacant
by DR.. Frederick w. Clayton, who
left some time ago for Tabor, Iowa,
where the presidency of an Episcopal
College was rendered him.
Through the efforts of Rev. ellison
St. Paul's Church at Berlin, Worcester
county, has developed considerably.

Colored Folk Figure
In Auto Smash Ups

The onward rush of the colored folk
to Maryland's only seaside resort,
they taking advantage of the excur-
sion arranged by the railroad to Ocean
City, resulted in quite smash Of au-
tomobiles this week on the stone road
leading to Virginia.
While big majority of excursion
lists boarded the train for the Beach
goodly number made the trip in
autos. A mix-up occurred on the out
skirts of Pocomoke resulting in dam
age to drivers and cars. Cuts and
bruises for the former, and broken
wheels, tenders, and axles for the lat
ter. No one, however, was fatally
wounded, but the town physicians
were kept busy for awhile.
This would seem to have been a
good time for the State police to find
out just who did and who didn't have
the right to drive cars. 1t is likely
that a few would have been discover
ed without the necessary documents
emitting them to operate an automo-
biles.

TEN COMMANDMENT"
WILL BE- SHOWN HERE
Spectacular Film To Be Shown AT
Empire Theatre Next Monday
And Tuesday

Cecil B. DeMille's Paramount pic
ture "The Ten Commandments is COM
ing to Pocomoke. 1t will be shown
at the Empire Theatre next Monday
and Tuesday, September Fl and %.
The modern story opens on de-
vout mother driving one of her two
sons from home because he will not
"apologize to Cod" for what she be-
lieves sacrlege. The son goes out in
to the world, not bitterly, but boyish-
ly exultant, to smash every COM
mandment. Then DeMille develops
his theme that eff you try to break
the Ten Commandments they'll break
YOU" -. .g'
In this great epic of the screen a
modern miracle actually is performed.
AS the Hebrews reach the Red Sea,
the Egyptian characters are almost
upon them. A wall of fire is thrown
between the two forces as Moses calls
upon God to help his people in their
distress. By means of modern
miracle of photography a tremendous
upheaval divides it before your eyes
and two huge walls of water form a
dry path between them. The Israelites
pass safely to the opposite shore, but
as, the Egyptians attempt to follow
the waters come together and they
are drowned in the deluge. These
stirring scenes are among the many
thrills in "The Ten Commandments. !"
That grand old actor, Theodore
Roberts, has the greatest part of a
long career on stage and screen in
this production. Moses lives again as
Theodore Roberts plays the part. He
is one of the twelve stars who appear
in this great epic. The cast includes
such familiar names as Leatrice Joy,
Richard Dix, Estelle Taylor, Rod La
ROGUE, Edythe Chapman, Jas. Neill,
Nita Naldi, Robert Edeson, Agnes
Ayres, Charles de Roche, and Lawson
Butt.
Another big picture that follows
"The Ten Commandments" is Rex
Migrants, "The Arab" which will be
shown Wednesday and Thursday. Ra-
mon Iovarro and Alice Terry have the
leading roles in this fiery story of the
desert.
can Arizona Romeo" starring Buck
Jones, to be shown on Friday and Sat-
urday, will conclude the weeks pro-
gram.

BETTER AUTO DRIVERS
Rising Generation More Capable Be- hind the Wheel, Trade Association Speaker Says.

Atlantic City, N. Jo Ang. II Pl-- There will be approximately fewer traffic accidents when the present generation passes on and the motor cars are driven by the younger gen. cration. The boys and glrls of today are growing motor wise while the older generation had 10 adapt itself to automobiles"
 This prediction was made to the convention Of the Automobile Trades association managers today by Rob- ert E. Lee, of St. Louis, its president,
 The older generation within whose span the automobile came into use, had to learn to drive as well as to walk in inc conditions created by the automobile" he said. This had to be learned at a time of life when learning new things does not come easily. Our children are growing up with motor cars as a perfectly natur- al thing. They learn to drive as naturally as they learn to walk. It is no adaptation for them. This means in the future better drivers as 1t means moro careful pedestrians. Care in crossing streets will be in- stinctive so while motor cars will in crease in number, accidents will not increase in the same proportion"

 Patrolmen John Liebler and Her bert c. Lyon investigated the acci- dent and after listening to the stories given by witnesses decided that Carl c. Quistberg of 164 Greenwood street, driver of the truck. was not responsible. as he was travelling at a reasonable speed and with proper caution. Witnesses told the police that the youth was playing with two other boys on the sidewalk when he dashed across the street and strucl; the truck just in front of the rear wheels.
 At the New Britain General hos. rital this afternoon the boy was re- ported to be resting comfortably and not in serious condition.
