II Is more Illuminating TO consider

entities: First. the old system. that

as defined substa ntially by what Is
now. called Florida avenue. and, sac
ond. the new system. covering the
entire District outside Of these old
city limits. The first IL completely
severed. and requires only the re
placement of its antiquated and in.
adequate sewers. The second. a
larger area. stin requires the installa.
ton of many new units. systems and

American Child Health
Association Honors P.HS.

The Pocomoke City High School has
been signally honored by the Ameri-
can Child Health Association. This
organization has selected the local in
stitution as a subject for survey in the
work done in child health, and it is
the only public school in the State so
honored. Only two have been chosen
in Maryland, the other being a pri-
vate school. In the whole country
there will only be eightytwo that
will be included in the National Sec
ondary School Survey. That the Po-
comoke City High is the only one in
the State, and one of only eighty-two
in the country, is worthy of note and
much qualification.
Those at the head of this depart
ment should feel complimented, and
the community in general should
share in their pride.

MANUAL TRAINING
PUPILS DISPLAY WORK
Substantial, Finely Finished Furni-
ture The Work OF Pocomoke
High School Students

Quatered oak tables, mahogany
desks, cedar chests were some of the
more outstanding features of the ex-
hibit in the manual training room
last Tuesday. Pocomoke patrons
missed a treat when they failed to
visit department of the high school
which is turning out the kind of work
here shown. Substantial, finely fin
ished furniture for any kind of home
are the results Of >,se years work of
the first and second year boys Of the
high school. Joints, corners, NOR
tices, finishing and polishing are squal
to ye old ime cabinet makers.
Two solid quartered oak tables of
Ralph Harris and Wilson Sturgis, a
sewing table of William Lang, two
console table of Paul Gladding, and
William Hancock were one part Of
the exhibit. Howard Landlord and
Lawrence Baker displayed two large
cedar chests. William Tilghman dis
played writing table. Leon Fisher
and Mason had their names on writ
ing table each. Francis Belote and
Leon Bunce each claimed a magazine
rack. Herbert Bounds displayed a
servette. Wilson Outten showed an
old-fashioned Priscilla sewing cabinet,
copied from Grandmas time. Wilson
Barnes of last year brought to the
exhibit very fine piece of work in
the form Of solid mahogany spinet.
The first year boys have not had
sufficient training to attempt a job
of building table equal to a factory
built piece so their efforts lay mostly
along the line of foot stools, taborets,
book racks, costumers, and other
smaller articles.

EASTERN SHORE LEAGUE
BALL SEASON OPENED
Large Crowds In Attendance Upon
Opening Games Wednesday
And Thursday.

The Eastern Shore Base Ball sea-
son opened with a bang last Wednes-
day, and large crowds were in attend
ance in the different towns. In Sails
bury, there was shortage in patrons
Of the grand stand, due, so it is said,
to the charge of one dollar.
The management stated that this
was to defray the expense Of the new
addition to the stand; but the fans
evidently were opposed to paying for
it all at once ,and there were many
vacant seats in evidence.
Easton, Cambridge, and Salisbury
turned in victories; the first defeating
Dover in an extra-inning contest; the
second getting the best of Crisfield
by a small score; and the third snow
ing under Parksley by a margin of
six runs-10 to 4.
On Thursday the results We're re-
versed in Parksley and Easton, but
Cambridge again dewned the Crab
bers in Crisfeld, and are, therefore,
at this writing (Friday) leading the
league.
The weather was ideal, the crowds
encouraging, and the quality of bal
satisfactory. The clubs are now or
the grind for the pennant, and some
hot contests, no doubt, will be waged
1t is too early to predict the winners
Much new material is in evidence, anC
it is likely many changes will be made
during the season.
The games today will take place II
Salisbury, Parksley, and Easton; tho
first meeting Dover; the second, Crls
field; and the third, Easton.

His success as a lawyer is evidenced
byWhais present position in his native
county.

sure to be joined by many friends in
this community.
