 full Pursuits.

Calmar, Sweden, Sept. IS P - Where once were trained the youth of the country for the pursuits of war, the children of Sweden are be- ing moulded mentally and physical ly for the paths of peace.
 During the summer the drill grounds of Ljungbyhed, where three historic Swedish regiments long had maintained headquarters, were turn d into a physical training camp for school children. Three thousand of the children and five hundred teach CTS took advantage of the opportu- nity to participate in the activities of tie camp.
 The old military drill grounds of Ilu'tsfred. In the province of Srnaa- : land. have been sold by the govern nlont to the county council of Cal mar. The land will be planted with fir trees and made into farm lands, and each year the children will be r,vnn the opportunity to make use of it as recreation center.

EXPERIMENTS WITH
 AIR GUNS SUCCESS
Coast Defense Finds New Brown.
 ing Rifle Effective

New York. Sept. IS Rl-Coast ar tillery officers were pleased today over the results of tests with anti aircraft guns against targets lowed by airplanes.
 Four months of experiments con- cluded yesterday with a new .50 calibre Browning machine gun bringing vo targets into the sea half mile off Fort Tilden at Rock away. On other targets eight hits were scored in poor visibility. More than 1s.o0O rounds of ammunition were fired.
 The targets shot down were from attitudes of 1000 and 2,10O feet and slant ranges above 1000 yards in to- tai firing time of 3 minutes 19 sec- onds.
 Major General Johnson Hagood said that anti-aircraft guns played an essential secondary role to air craft In coast defense. His conclu- sions as to the tests were that:
 For bombers flying straight courses at constant attitudes a three- inch battery of four guns can count upon at least one vital hit if the bomber comes within 5000 yards range and under 10000, feet alu- tude.
 For planes flying at ranges not greater than 1000 yards and not more than 5000 feet high ma- chine gun battery of eight guns can probably count on at least one vital hit If the plane Is flying an irregu- lar course.
 Searchlights and listening devices can pick up planes at night half the time.

STEVENS ICE CREAM
FACTORY HEAVILY
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Blaze Which Started In Engine
Room Wednesday Night Puts
Factory Out Commission
DARKNESS A DETERRENT
In FIGHTING FLAMES

Fire broke out about 8 p. NJ, We'd
nesday evening in the ice cream fac
tory of A. H. Stevens, located on Rail-
road avenue, entailing loss of from
$4,000 to $4,000, and putting the plant
out of commission from week to ten
days.
The fire originated in the engine
room where the engineer was attempt
ing to start the engine with blow
torch. In some way the blaze was
communicated to some oil which had
dropped on the floor.
The engineer went outside to get
some ashes to throw on the flames,
but by the time he got back they were
beyond his control.
An alarm was sounded which soon
brought the local fire department.
This found great difficulty in fighting
the blaze owing to the darkness and
to strong fumes of ammonia. All the
fighting had to be done from the wind
ward side and this made the going
difficult. However, they were soon
masters of the situation. AS said "a
bove the darkness was serious deter
rent in making headway, the only
light available was from the electric
bulb in front of the Hearn Oil station,
from lanterns, and from auto head
lights. This matter should be looked
into.
The alarm was turned in while the
lecturer was speaking at the first
evening session of the local Chautau-
qua. The talker was soon facing
empty benches.
Mr.. Stevens carried no insurance,
therefore he will sustain a total loss
as far as the damage goes. This is to
be regretted.

THOMAS A. LANKFORD
DIED LAST TUESDAY
Former Pocomokian Succumbs AT
State Sanitorium. Interment
In This City Thursday

Thomas A. Lankford, ST., well.
known in this city, died on Tuesday
last, at the State Sanatorium, aged
35 years, the cause of his death being
tuberculosis.
He was the son of the late Thomas
A. and Sallie L. Lankford, and for a
number of years he was an employee
at the Eagle Flour Mills, this city,
starting in the business when a boy
At the time of his death, he was flour
inspector for the Baltimore Chamber
Of Commerce.
Funeral services were held Thurs
day Afternoon at o'clock, interment
being in the cemetery of the Episcopal
Church, Rev. G. V. Bell, rector, Off

sons, Thomas, Jr., and Woodrow.
Mr.. Landlord was held in great es-
TEEN by all who knew him in this city,
and his death caused universal regret
The confidence and trust reposed in
him here does not seem to have been
misplaced, since he had acquired sue
ces in his chosen work elsewhere, due
to his Straightforward and honest
dealing. The sympathy of the COM
munity goes out to his bereaved
family.

OUNCE ASHBURN
GROWS TOBACCO
AS EXPERIMENT
Expert Pronounces Field Of Four
Acres To Among Best He
Has Examined
RESULT SHOULD BE
WATCHED BY FARMERS

A departure from the usual line of
crops is being attempted by Ounce
Ashburn on the Callahan property
just outside the corporate limits of
this city.
He has planted four acres in tobac-
&C, and if appearance at the present
time count for anything, the expert
nlent will be eminently successful.
From the viewpoint of an inexperi-
enced onlooker, nothing could present
a finer growth than the big luxurious
plants which have sprung up on these
four acres.
At the present time Mr.. Ashburn
is engaged in suckering the plants.
This removes the small growth from
the stem and allows the mammoth
leaves to mature more satisfactorily.
The next move will be to cut it from
the ground and suspend, butt up,
from a drying shed, to allow it to as
sumo shape for shipment.
This field was viewed lately by an
expert and pronounced the second best
he had seen. At that time it was es-
timated it should cut at least 600
pounds to the acre. Mr.. Ashburn
thinks that the growth has doubled
since; that it should cut at least 1900
pounds; and that it should be worth
around $500 profit per acre.
Farmers should watch this expert
ment and, if it should prove successful
there are thousands of acres in the
county as we'll adapted to the cultiva-
tion of this weed as is the spot select
ed by Mr.. Ashburn.
A sample of the stalk has been on
exhibition in the Citizens National
Bank and farmers should think the
matter over.
