Editor Clarke, Pocomoke City, Md
My dear Sir:
| have just read from your columns
the review of the "Gentleman from
Maryland" by DR.. Bowen, and desire
you to know that | appreciate your
action in printing it. I am regular
reader of your paper and appreciate
the fact that the Worcester Democrat
has a more modern tone since the be-
ginning of your regime. l hope, as
DR.. Bowen intimated, the review did
your columns no harm, for my OBJ
ject in writing the book was to a.
rouse the people of the good old
"Land of Evergreens" to their posi-
bilities, and to the beauties and gran
deur of their counties. l desired the
book to call attention of travellers to
the wonders of it. / may have sue
ceeded, l may have failed. The book
is having a good sale. / also desired
to learn whether novel of a good
moral and religious tone would find
readers or not. Many are convinced
that the reading public will not buy
such; l believe they will.
Yours truly,
D. SHIELDS.

Dear Sir:
The Reverend DIR. Bowen's review
in your paper, of "The Gentleman
from Maryland" was masterful, bring
ing out, as it did so well, the virtues
and shortcomings of the publication, a
rather unusual combination of legend,
fiction and history of old Worcester.
The aged, but no less alert, scholar "a
gain demonstrated his mental alac-
rity.
However, DR.. Bowen seems misled
by the nome de plume under which
the book was written-"D. Shields"
According to the records of the Con-
gressional Library the author of "The
Gentleman from Maryland" is r. P.
Day, whom / do not know, and not
Mr.. Dashields. Since much of the
book is given freely of local color, I'M
doubtedly the author is known in the
county.
Very truly yours,
r. V. TRUITT,
Professor of Zoology, University of
Maryland, College Park, Md.

Mr.. Edward Clarke, Editor of the
Worcester Democrat, Pocomoke
City, Md.
My dear Mr.. Clarke:-
Permit me through your most valu-
able paper, to call the attention to a
very undesirable condition surround
ing our school house on Cedar street.
Living directly opposite am in po-
sition to quote the following:
When school closes you can see
small boys, and girls wade through
water, and a sea of mud five inches
deep, and eight foot square.
Where is our Health Doctor that he
allows such condit ons to exist?
Just think, if a child wades through
all this mud and water at lunch hour,
and then sits all afternoon with wet
feet, is it any wonder we have so
much sickness among our children?
: Our city officials should look into
this matter as it is worthy of due con-
s;deration, and an attempt should be
made to remoedy the above.
/ have taken this up with one of
our city officials, and was informed
by him that there were other places
more important to be repaired first.
Personally l consider the health of
our children here in Pocomoke more
important than a fine road for our
automobiles.
Sincerely yours,
J. M. FENDLAY.

Hardware Prospects
 For Next Year Bright

New York, Dec. 31---1n it's week ly market hardware summary, Hard ware Age will say:
 General conditions prevailing in the hardware industry. although eX- periencing temporary lull, with the close approach of Christmas, arc entirely favorable, according 10 re- ports from the various wholesale market Cnntcrs. It is generally agreed that 1925 business will be considerably in excess of that of last year. The sale of Christmas mcr- chandiso has been generally good, and in some Centcrs retailers are looking forward to one of the best seasons in years,
 "The unusual interest in spring lines indicates that retail stocks are low. and that buyers are not post poning their orders in any eXpccta- tons that prices will be lower next year. On the contrary, all straws point 10 an upward revision in sched- ules, particularly in respect 10 items of iron and steel

GOLFDOM PAYS TRIBUTE
 TO NEAREST SENSATION
Willie Klein, 2I Years Old Star, Wins Second Annual Coli
 Tournament

Miami, fla.. Dec. 3i CP.-GOlfdom paid homage today to its nearest sen- sation, an unobstructive 24 year old, who yesterday led a brilliant field of present and past champions to win Mipmi's second annual golf open championship tournament at Hialeh. Willie Klein, pro at Wheatey Hills Club Longlsland. clicked off q low 2S9 in the 72 hole match to win.
 Klein left no doubt as to his prowoss in forging three strokes ahead of his nearest rival Jock Hutchison. Leo Diegcl, Canadian open champion, after consistently good playing during yesterday fore noon, slammed a shot against tree forty feet distant and was almost knocked down when the ball re- bounded to his his chest.
 Diogol forging into the lead. was unnerved by the incident and cratic playing during the remainder of the day placed him out of the running. Sarazen, another favoritc, led the field at the end of the opening days play. His lead was short lived for q poor seven on a par four hole ycs- terday together with subsequent dis astrous shots, ruined him.
 Hutchison had heeting chance to capture the laurels when he came through the morning round yestcr- day with a low score of PIT.
 Bobby Jones, national amateur champion, and Willie MacFarlane, national open champion. played spectacular threesomc yesterday with Sarazen and are still endeayor- ing 10 break the deadlock hoodoo which has followed them from the national open tourney at Worcester. At the end of the first 36 holes, their cards showed 149 each. They each took 73 on the morning round yes- tc~day with an identical 72 for the afternoon score.

 While he was giving out his state ment however, representatives of Agudath Harabonim, an organization or orthodox rabbis, and of Mizrachi, a laymcn's organization, after stormy i've hours meeting accepted reports Of the sermon nt face value and demanded that tho United Pal cstino appeal accept pr, Wisc's Of. tercd resignation, Unless he is al lowed 10 withdraw they decided, they and their l0O0Oo followers "ill no longer support the appeal.

 The demand Of the two orthodox organizations came after pcaccmnk- CTS had vainly fried 10 obtain post poncment of action until Dr, Wise's side Of the controversy had been fully brought out,
 Tn the resolution calling on the appeal to accept Dr. Wisc's rcsigna- ton, it is charged that the state mcnts attributed 10 him constituted a great moral danger to Judaism" and that his continuance at the head of the appeal was a menace to the success of Palestine reconstruction.

PEOPLE LIVING LONGER
Prediction That Next Century Will
 See Life of 100 Years and More

New York, Dec 31 Pt-By the dawn of the next century-ouly 75 years away-the average span Of a mans life will have increased 10 100 yca"s. and a life Of 200 years will not be unusual.
 This assertion, based on past rec ords. was made today by the Ameri- can Sociological society by pr. Tor- nell Hart of Bryn Mawr college. The average expectation of life, Dr. Hart said, was ol years in 1850. It had increased to a little more than 30 years in 1910.
 Since 1850 inc average gain has been three and two-tenths years each year. Advances Tn medical science should not accelerate this h. crcasinE span that by the end Of the century the leverage span" would be eight years greater each year. Hence q child born in 200 A. D. might expect to live 1o4 years. and. 10 maintain the average, many persons would have 10 live to 200.
