a brief week of preparation? And yet
there will be many who will believe
that Mr.. Brooke even surpassed the
original production in the staging of
his own. If he himself fell short of
the delightful picture presented by
Mr.. Maude as Lord Grenham it is
confidently believed that, after his re-
covery from touch OF stage fright
in the opening act-and even stage
directors and actors of note do have
stage fright at the most inopportune
times--he did most cleverly and skill
fully handle his difficult and delicate
role in a manner that contributed ad-
nirably to an excellent performance
as a whole.
Again Miss Leneta Lane. as Margot
latham, the young wife who returned
from a voyage to Egypt and discov-
cred her adored husband kissing an
other woman on the first moment OF
her entry into her home, rises to dra-
matte heights that promises an ad-
mirable future for her. In her versa
tility and with her poise she has made
it clearly manifest that the leading
lady of the National stock company is
an actress of real merit to be reck-
oned with. Romaine Calender was
quite adequate as the young husband,
and Katryn Givrey, Dorothy Tierney
and Lillian Dean, the last named in
a complete metamorphosis from an
amusing housemaid OF last week
gave to their roles all that was de-
manded or could be expected. Indeed,
it is believed Miss Tierney made the
real hit of her brief local career as
the lady who was kissed. 1t may be
suggested here, to good purpose, that

Contributions Urged
For Near East Relief

Citing that 100000 meals a week
are needed to provide for the host Of
orphan children under care of the

grin, Maryanld Director, issued an

Mr.. Pellegrin states there are 49,

refugee camps, all needing food and
care, a large number of them only
eight and nine years of age. During

State And Peninsula News

Tangier Sound, off the coast of
Deals Island, was the scene of a naval
maneuver last week, when the EBAY
Navy" OF the State Conservation Com
mission overhauled the Virginia boat
Pocohontas, alleged to have been
poaching in Maryland waters by fish
ing illegally for menhaden, two other
poachers making a getaway.
Reports state that the State Flag
ship of the Bay Navy, Governor Nc
Lane, with Conservation Commits
sioner Swepson Earle aboard, was
cruising off Deals Island coast when
it met the Naval steamer, Somerset,
also patrolling the waters and was in
formed that some Virginia fishing
steamers were operating above the
Virginia line.
Orders were accordingly given to
the Somerset to overhaul and arrest
the fish pirates. Captain E. o. Town
send of the Somerset was instructed
to use one pound gun if necessary.
The Somerset hauled down her
flags and sailed south of Marsh Is
land until at Hedges Straits and then
made a direct run for the steamer
Pocahontas, which had her nets over
board. Captain Lokey of the boat
surrendered peaceably. Two other
boats were about a miles distance but
steamed rapidly away.
The Pocohontas is 1853 feet long
2S6 gross tons, carries a crew of 35
men and is owned by the Eubank
Tanker Company, of Kilmonarck, Va.
The Virginia captain was arraign-
ed before Justice of the Peace Arthur
M. Rencher at Jesterville, Wicomico
county, found guilty and fined $3.50
and costs, which were paid.

Tells What Medicine
Chest Should Contain
Drug Commissioner Says II
Should Be Kept Filled For
First Aid Service.

Have you cleared out your medicine
chest, this season? In sudden illness
es or emergencies, can you put your
hand on what you need? Are your
supplies fresh? Properly labeled?
Poisons in separate compartment
These are some of the tests suggested
by Robert l.. Swain, Deputy Drug
Commissioner of the Bureau of Food
and Drugs of the State Department
of Health and editor of the Maryland
Pharmacist.
''No matter how careful household
ers may be in other matters, she said,
they are inclined to let the family
medicine chest take care of ITSELF
There is no more important adjunct
to we'll ordered household than the
medicine chest with it's array of time
tested remedies, but it rarely receives
the attention it's Importance warrants.
1t is remembered only when illness
develops, or when somebody has met
with an accident. 1t is a source of
first aid, and for that reason it should
be always ready.
What 1t Should Contain
Gin addition to simple remedies,
such as are usually found in the home,
it should always contain a supply of
bandages, sterilized absorbent cotton
and some commonly used antiseptics,
such as iodine, peroxide of hydrogen
and boric acid. Your physician will
be glad to advise you as to other ar
ticle.
A Separate Shelf For Poisons
"But the greatest care should be
taken to keep these antiseptics and
all poisons, in separate compart-
ment, so that there will be no chance
of confusing them by mistake with
some of the harmless remedies. Many
serious accidents have been caused by
the careless handling of poisons and
by failure to take proper precautions
in storing them in the medicine chest

Ten Years In ''Home
Town" Newspapers
US. Rubber Company Celebrates
Tenth Anniversary OF A
Pioneer Advertising
Program.

In 1915 there were 2,445,666 auto
mobiles in this country.
1t seemed a tremendous number.
Some people were already talking
about the "saturation point" being
not far ahead.
But if there were some men who
couldn't see the woods for trees,
there were others whose faith never
faltered.
1t took a lot of vision for them to
see that the true market for the auto
mobile had hardly been touched.
1t took a lot of courage for them to
bank on the ultimate success of the
automobile in that market.
They had both.
Back in 1915, the United States
Rubber Company said, "The real fu-
ture of the automobile is not in the
big cities but away from them"
1t is not in short runs on city
streets, but in mile after mile on
country roads,"
So back in 1915 the United States
Rubber Company began to prepare
for this movement-and to help it.
In 1915-ten years ago-the first
U. S. Tire advertising began to ap-
pear in the "home town" papers.
Few people saw these papers in
their true dimension.
Few realized the influence they had
on what the people thought and did
and wore and bought. Because few
people realized the place they filled
in the minds and lives of their read
erS.
The United States Rubber Company
saw.
AS clearly as it saw that the develop
ment fthe automobile would be in
the smaller communities, it saw that
the people in these communities would
have tires to measure up to the SER
vice and tire merchants to sell them.
And it saw that the "home town"
newspapers it had, ready to hand, the
medium to help it put tire merchan-
dising where it would have to be in
the new era of the automobile.
So ten years ago people began to
read the first U. S. Tire Advertising
in their "home town" paper--ovr the
name of their "home town" dealer.
They have been reading it ever
since. Y akak4&
They have seen these home dealers
develop their little "side line of tires"
into real business-alway with the
support of "U. S." Advertising in
these local papers.
Co-incident with the tenth anniver-
sary of "home town" advertising by
the United States Rubber Company.
This company announces another long
step forward in the perfection of au-
tomobile tires-ths greatest since the
introduction of the cord itself-in its
perfected LateX treated-Web Cord
Royal Balloon Tire with the fiat low
pressure tread.
Today there are 100000 auto
mobiles in this country.
Eighty per cent of them are owned
by men and women on the farms and
in the smaller communities
What was only vision in 1915 has
come true in 1925.

Dagsboro has been dropped out of

Worcester county is honored now
with some very high toned equine

Maryland Concerns
Manifest Interest In
Trade Exhibition
international Exhibition At New
Orleans Will Be inaugural
ed September 18th.

Leading manufacturing and indus
trial concerns, representative of the
diversified products of the factories
of Maryland, are manifesting keen
interest in the establishing of the In
ternational Trade Exhibition at New
Orleans as a central world trading
point, according to j. Buckner Deb
nam, special representative, in a
statement issued from his headquar-
tiers in the Baltimore Association of
Commerce. The exhibition will be in
augurated September 18th, in the U.
S. Army base building, and manu-
facturers of America as we'll as pro-
ducers of the far-fung corners of the
earth will be given an opportunity to
display their products to the greatest
advantage.
Maryland manufacturers realize
the possibilities offered by the Inter-
national Trade Exhibition, Mr.. Deb
nam declares, and it appears certain
that Maryland will be represented in
extensive, permanent displays. A
mong the Baltimore firms and cor
porations showing a direct interest in
the permanent world trade mart are
the following:
Emerson Drug Company, Gibbs
Preserve Company, Mccormick and
Co., Pompeian Romanza Co., John B.
Adj, Standard Electric Machine Co.,
Black and Decker Manufacturing Co.,
Baltimore Cop. Smelt and Rool Co.,
Mt Vernon Woodbury. Mills, Jas. F.
Gary and Sons, American Czechos-
lovak Sales Corporation, Crown Cork
and Seal Co., Chas. M, Steiff, Inc,
American Oil Company, Solarine Co.,
and the Baltimore Water Paint. The
Chesapeake Iron Works of Westport,
the Maryland Glass Corporation of
Mt. Winans, and manufacturing con-
Germs in other parts of Maryland also
have under consideration the advis-
ability of securing space at the New
Orleans exhibition.
''The sole object of the Information
al Trade Exhibition is the encourage
ment of world trade, both domestic
and foreign" Mr.. Debnam declared.
ut is new idea in trade displays.
1t is practical and it eliminates every
iota of the spectacular and extrava-
giant features of eXpositions. 1t will
operate as a world market place con-
fined to strictly business channels for
the efficient and economical trans
action of business"
Governor Richie has given the pro-
ject his endorsement. Other state
executives approving the ambitious
program of the New Orleans business
men, are the following: AL Smith of
New York, w. w. Brandon, of Ala
bama, Clifford Walker of Georgia,
Austin Peay of Tennessee, Clifford
Pinchot of Pennsylvania, Vic Dona-
hey, of Ohio, Sam A. Baker, of Mis-
souri,, Alex Groesbeck of Michigan
and Govrnor Hannett, of New Mexico.
In his official endorsement of the
world trade market as is being estab-
lished by c. L. Wallace, president,
and his associates in the management
of the International Trade Exhibition,
Governor Richie wrote: cit is sure
to have most advantageous effect
i'll encouraging and facilitating the
growth of trade and commerce, both
and domestic. 1t is,
therefore, privilege for me to give
this exhibition my most hearty en-
dorsement."

The prominent incident in pugilis-
tic circles, is the unexpected death of
Pancho Villa, the little Filipino fly
weight champion, who succumbed in
San Francisco hospital last Tuesday.
Blood poisoning due to infection from
decayed teeth was the cause. Out
side of the loss to the athletic world,
Pancho's death presents an object
lesson illustrating the Importance at
tached to care of the teeth, which les
son the younger generations would

Jack Dempsey is much in the eye
Of the sporting world, at present,
and much talk is rife as to whom he
will be matched to fight. A great deal
of public sentiment favors a meeting
between hi mand the negro Wills; but
big portion of the sports would pre-
fer no battle between representatives
of the two races. All that is neces-
sary is to recall the Jack johnson
situation. There was despairing cry
for years for some white man to wrest
the heavyweight crown from the head
of the big negro, and great sigh of
relief went up when he fell before the
onset of Jess Willard. The same feel
ing would be experienced if Wills
should conquer Dempsey, and why any
white people should want to saddle
themselves with such an unrestful
condition is hard to explain. The best
thing to do is to make Wills satisfied
with his black championship, and if he
is spelling for fights, let him go to
climes where the color line has en-
tirely faded out.
Oxford and Cambridge, European
made a splendid showing
in their track contests against Yale
and Harvard recently, each pair scor-
ing the same number of points. Pos
sibly the most interesting matter in
connection with the meet between
these representative of the Old
World and representatives of the New
World seats of learning, is the vast
difference in the matter of training.
American Athletes are opponents of
the careful, systematic, and rigid type
of preparation; while those across the
big ditch make none at all in COM
parison with the boys on this side.
The English university lads eat, and
drink what they please, and regulate
their hours for sleep. They exercise
when they feel like it, and then jump
in and score as many points as their
American cousins, with apparent ease
at that. These results should give
American coaches some food for
thought.

Opinions Differ On
Prohibition Question

New York City a. Opposing
views as to popular sentiment against
prohibition are held by DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Column
bia University, and Senator Thomas
j. Walsh of Montana.
DR.. Butler, in declining a challenge
to debate the subject with Represen-
tative William D. Upshaw of Georgia,
said his volminous correspondence
indicated that the present prohibition
policy would lose five to three in a
national referendum.
Senator Walsh, who returned from
a European tour yesterday, said that
while there is much ballyhooing in
New York, not wet whisper is heard
in the corridors of Washington.
IF the elected representative is
eager to- reflect the opinions of his
constituency" he said, "then there is
no sentiment against prohibition"
DR.. Butler in statement published
today, says that Representative Up
shaw Shows no realization of the fact
that an enormous number of Christian
men and women who are opposed to
the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act and who do not intend
to rest until they obtain their repeal,
have no intent in the use of alcoholic
liquors. They are however, pro-
foundry concerned for preservation of
the bill of rights.
