Through tie Static

Static was heavy last evening, al- though most of the stations sue ceeded in making themselves heard through it, at least, late in the even ing. The early part of the night was not so good for reception and we contented oursef with the nearby stations. However, as the hour be- came later we gradually reached out bringing in a large variety of interesting material. The electrical discharges, of which we spoke yes- terday and the day before, were heard for only short time, and we are hoping against hope that they won't reappcar tonight.
 
 One of the big features of the ehanics' hall, Boston. through WBZ, of the annual Filene Company show. Transmission was not partic- ularly good, but the main features of the program were pleasing to hear, there being q great deal of solo and chorus work of high grade. One of the big features was the work of the Lancaster chorus of about 250 children. This group sang the Pilgrims Chorus" from Tam hauser" and then rendered a semi popular number, 'The Barefoot Trail" The work was excellent and the microphone recorded the great volume truly and with distortion.
 One factor detractcd from the suc- cess of the entire program last eVeh- ing, and that was the way in which the announcer's microphone acted. sometimes. There was great deal of rattle and chatter on that mike and the announcer sounded as if he had a bad cold and was talking with swollen glands, ragged vocal cords and several other afflictions. There was too much rasp, in other words. And another thing, John Announcer left his miCrophOne open several times while the rest of the show was going on. In itself that wasn't so bad. but he was carrying on spirit ed conservation with someone back stage and the effect was that of two stations fighting for the same wave length. And then again. he butted into several beautiful! musical pie lures to tell Us that somebody was walking onto the stage or someone had just stubbed his toe or some- thing else.
 Another big feature Of the pro- gram was the singing of the quartet from "Rjgoletto" in one of the acts. A big sedan was driven on the stage. Inverted chauffeur and footman were in the front scat and In the back were four well dressed persons, two men and two women all decked out in evening wear. They were as- sisted from the sedan, and presum- ably, right in the middle of the street, broke out with this famous selection. To make the act realistic, policeman should have appeared and pinchcd the whole crew for breach of the peace. But, seriously the selection was excellent.
 Have you noticed the tendency of | dance orchestras to play arrange m"nts of classical selections? We tuned in on several stations last evening and at each, where a dance | orchestra was playing, classical se- lections of the better known variety were announced and were played well. The public must be getting educated, desiring classics, but being i unwilling to forsake jazz. Therefore We get symphonic jazz.

HebrelUs Usher In
Ne.D Year Last Night

Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New
Year, commenced at sundown yester-
day, Friday, and ends at sundown on
Sunday. In commemoration of the
High Holiday" the stores and busi-
ness establishments conducted by the
Hebrews in this city will be closed on
Saturday.
At this time all members of the old
faith conform strictly to the religious
custom and the period is universally
set aside for special services and rit-
uals.
According to the Jewish calendar
this is not the year 1925 but 1886,
dating back to the creation of the
world as reckoned from the Bible.
The month they call Tishra.
Ten days after the High Holiday"
comes Yom Kippur, or the Day of
Atonement, which falls this year on
Monday September 2sth. The stores
will also be closed on that day.

WILL MAKE DRIVE ON
SHORE BOOTLECCERS
Edmund Budnitz To Dispatch Big
Force Of Dry Agents To This
Section In Near Future

Edmund Budnitz, newly appointed
prohibition enforcement chief of Mary
land, Delaware, and the District of
Columbia, is to make an attempt to
clean up his territory of illicit liquor
manufacture.
Evidences of this movement, it is
reported, will be seen on the Shore in
u very short while. Mr.. Budnitz seems
to think that if he should break up
about, twenty stills, he would materi-
ally cripple bootlegging business this
side OF the Chesapeake.
The Chief is to employ men with
whom the Fraternity" is not well ac-
quainted, and some surprises are
scheduled to be in store for the "corn"
makers.
The trouble with the Suppression Of
liquor manufacture is that an army Of
occupation can not be maintained at
all times; and after one raid the re-
sumption appears and the whole
thing has to be done over again. 1t
looks as if the business has some of
the qualities of malignant cancer;
cut it out at one place, and it breaks
cut at another.

FARMERS RECEIVE
BLANKETS FOR WOOL
Fifth Annual Consignment Received
By County Agent-Public May
Purchase Surplus

The blankets made from the wool
pooled in the blanket cam
paign last July, under the direction
of County Agent Oswald and the
campaign committee, were received
at the County Agents office in Snow
Hill last Saturday.
This is the 5th annual consignment
of blankets received through these
wool pools and has been the means of
assisting farmers in disposing of be-
tween eight and nine tons of wool
thru its manufacture into seventeen
hundred and sixty pairs of blankets
and automobile robes.
This arrangement has not only been
the means of helping the farmers to
realize a very much better price for
their wool, but has enabled purchas-
ers to secure very superior blanket
for home use at price much below
the average purchase price of blan-
kets of similar quality.
A few farmers still have a surplus
of blankets made from this years
pool and will be glad to dispose of
them. These blankets are of particu-
larly fine quality this year and extra
large size. Samples may be seen al
the County agents office at Snow
Hill.

WILL COMMEMORATE BIRTH
OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE

Maryland will be represented at the
Sesquicentennial International Expo
sition, Gov. Albert C. Richie having
accepted appointment of the Sesqui-
centennial Council of Governors. A
letter addressed to Mayor w. Free
land Kendrick of Philadelphia, pres
dent of the Sesquicentennial Exhibi-

the Council of the Governors in con-
nection with the Sesquicentennial."
The Sesquicentennial Council of

tlves of nearly every State, and of
which Hon. Clifford Pinchot, governor
Of Pennsylvania, is president, is only
second in Importance to the National
Commission to the Sesquicentennial

merce Hoover.
The Exposition celebrating 150th
anniversary of the Declaration of In
dependence will positively be COM

More than two million square feet OF
exhibit space already have been re-
served in the vast exhibits buildings
by leading industrial and other con-
Germs in this country and abroad.
Col. D. C. Collier, Director Gener-
al, conservatively estimates the at
tendance at the Exposition will total
fifty millions.
Adjoining the Exposition grounds
is the Philadelphia Navy Yard, the
largest in the country, where there
are now one hundred and fifty wal
vessels moored. This is always a stal
attraction for visitors. Scattered
throughout the city there are indie
pendence Hall, the birthplace o1
American Liberty" with the Liberty
Bell; the Betsy Ross House where the
first flag was made; Carpenters Hal
and hundreds of other places recalling
the Revolutionary heroes and the ear
ly days Of the Republic. All these
will make visit to Philadelphia, the
"World's Greatest Workshop" an e
vent never to be forgotten.

Early Morning Blaze
Consumes Small Barn

The alarm of fire in the early hours
Of last Thursday morning, caused a
genral exodus from downy beds in
the homes of Pocomoke. The refec-
tion from the blaze showed that the
fire was in the neighborhood of the
base ball grounds; and the burning
building proved to be a small barn,
the property of Margaret Webb, and
rented by B. Levin for a storage
place.
A large quantity Of rubber and bag
ging was consumed, on which there
was small insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The fire company quickly answered
the sirens call and, while not being
able to save any part of the ignited
building, prevented any spread of the
flames.
