The following account of the va
catiqon trip of H. F. Gilbert and
family in a recent communication to
Mrs. E. F. Wilson, will be appreciated
by their many friends in Pocomoke
City.
Mr.. Gilbert is remembered as an eff
ficient member of the p. H. S. faculty
several years ago. He and Mrs. Gil
lbert are happy in their mission work
in Walters, Cotton county, Oklahoma.
"From Waters to Ida, the route
lay east over the State highway, No.
5, we'll kept all the way and graded
the greater part of the distance. From
Broken Bow to Ida, the 33 miles of
perfect mountain road, with lofty
pines and hardwood trees on either
side, revealed hardly human habita-
ton.
Creeping down long grade cut of
the mountain side, we made a turn and
glided off down the valley on por-
ton of road almost parallel to what
we had come over. This is the cele-
brated chair pin curve.
We camped first on Rock Creek and
then on Glover creek. The confluence
Of these streams makes fisherman's
paradise. Climbing over q rocky cliff,
one finds chain of pools and ponds
where the bass and trout lie under
overhanging rocks and lily pads.
Three weeks we camped, looking up
at the stars through the immense
trees as we retired at night, and be-
ing Weakened in the morning by CHOIR
uses of birds. The party agreed on
the Interpretation of two bird songs.
The long drawl clearly said, Letter
sleep this time" The most insistent
notes said, "I'm the Beaver-bird, the
Beaver bird,-the Beaver-bird"-and
at distance the mate replied-"Bea-
yer, Beaver, Beaver"
Ida is the original "Old Home
Town." and it's half dozen houses con-
tain some really fine characters. There
is DR.. Pinkerton, the country doctor
Of the old school, serving for the good
of his fellowmen, not for fees; Jim
Knight, once member of the legisla-
ture, later vice-counsel in a Central
American port, now living on the
quaintest of Choctaw homestead; and
Preacher Jim Mcdonald, long a guide
to fishermen, preaching the gospel ev-
cry third Sunday evening.
The District school was a surprise.
One would guess that there was a
school population of 80 or 40 pupils.
Instead there is a 4-room building
and 200 pupils. But every wood road
leading into the forest off the high
way reveals perhaps 10 or Is homes
in well-tilled valley.
"Come by and eat with u.s." Thus
we discovered the wonderful hospitali-
ty of these mountaineers.

SUNDAY COMICS IN
new YORK AMERICAN
Crosby's "Skippy" Featured Con.
sidered Greatest Boy Characters
Since Huck Finn

Skippy, the inimitahle pen creation
of Percy L. Crosby, is new addition
to the famous section of fifteen COM
les in the Sunday New York Ameri-
can.
Skippy was first introduced to the
public in the pages of "Life" two
years ago. Since then he has endear-
ed himself in the hearts of million
readers with his quaint, innocently
waggish ways. Many consider him
the greatest boy character creation
since Huck Finn.
Percy Crosby, his originator, corr
ce:ved of Skippy when he was but q
small boy himself. The character
grew, evolved, and finally took shape
in ink and paper. Crosby, loving
Skippy as part of himself, took his
drawings to magazines and news
papers all over New York. Every
where he went, Skippy passed un
needed, but nothing could shake the
deep faith of the artist in his creation
The war interrupted Crosby's career
and was not resumed until som,
months after the armistice. Skipp!
was accepted by the "Pearsons Mag
azipe" in England. Then "Life" a
woke to the boyish, sympathetic ap
peal of Skippy.
The acceptance of Skippy by TIN
New York American marks the real
ization of Crosby's long cherishe'
dream to have his lovable creation il
the colored comic section of grea
newspaper.

FRANK A DAVIS .

In the annals of human existence,
there is recorded at least one incident
of supreme grief that rocks the Soul
with sorrow and gives birth to de-
spair. Such a tribulation came when
on Tuesday, September Ia, 1926, my
dearest, best and truest friend, Fran
els Asbury Davis. age IS, passed the
portals of mortality to enter the
gates of Paradise.
Such, may we believe, was his re-
ward, according to the words of the
Apostle, when in the Book of Revela-
tons, he declared: 81 heard Voice
from Heaven saying unto me, Write,
from henceforth, Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord"
Those who knew him best will bear
witness that he was a servant of the
Master, in thought, word and deed.
The influence of the spirit of Christ,
dominated his earthly career. A de-
voted Christian, loving husband, and
affectionate father, and a man of no
bility of character-pure, kindly, and
charitable. His life was one sacri-
flee in the service of God and his fell
low creatures. He led an upright,
harmless, and blameless life, always
doing good and refraining from wrong
or evil. He enjoyed the harmless
pleasures of life, and never wearied
of it, nor thought it had not been a
life worth living, therefore he had no
fear to meet whatever life beyond
the Veil. AS long as I live, shall re-
member with loving affection his
ways looks, and words, and our days
passed together.
For nearly fourscore years we have
been bosom friends; our friendship
began in about 1851, when he was a
: boy of about s years of age and a.
bout five.- We went to school at She'll
town, until February 18th, 1861, when
moved to Princess Anne, then to
: Baltimore in 1865. He followed year
, later, moving to Baltimore in 1865.
; He and were the Senior members of
: the Eastern Shore Society to which
: he was thoroughly devoted as he was
, also to his birthplace, the Eastern
Shore.
; shall miss him terribly. I shall
: surely miss those most delightful and
extremely interesting talks of OLD
, times and dear old Eastern Shore
chats which We're held at his charm:

ity with which he waited.

with the same patience and equanam-
ity with which he waited.
I do not believe. that our intell:ct
and individuality cease to be when the
vitality of the body ends. I have pro-
found convection the only revelation,
which to me makes absolute certain
ty, that there is Supreme Diety, the
intelligence and Lord OF the Universe,
whom it is not folly to pray to; that
our convictions from him and in them
he does not lie to deceive US, and that
there is to be for my very self an
other, continued life, in which this
| fe will be as if it had never been,
but shall see and know again those
whom l have loved. and lost here
Either there is no God, or there is a
just and merciful God who will deal
gently and tenderly with the human
creatures whom He had made so weak
and imperfect.
There was nothing in the future fol
him to fear, as there was nothing in
the past to be ashamed of. Since
have been compelled by the lengthen-
ing of the evening shadows to look
forward to my own near approaching
departure, I do not fel that I lose the
friends who go away before me.
Real friendships are made in Heav.
en-, and give US a foretaste in this
World of the joy and glory of thei,
contamination herafter.
i"Cut OF the world of the wailing,
Through with the anguish and all
ing,
Out of the world of the sad,
Into the world that rejoices;
World of bright vision and voices,
f; Into the world of the glad.
Out of life ever mournful,
Out of a life ever lornful,
Where in bleak exile we roam,
/ Into a joyland above US,
Where there is Father to love US
/ Into our Home, Sweet Home"
! May our Father who is in HEAVIER
bless each and everyone of his family
whom he has left to mourn his de.
parture but to rejoice greatly for the
good name and sweet influence he ha.
left as an heritage for each one Of
them, and may He have them in His
holy keeping.

avenue, surrounded by the inspira-
lion OF two wonderfully charming
women-his daughter-in-law and her
daughter, and his son, Milton.sI shall
surely miss those most delightful
auto rides through the Green Spring
Valley and elsewhere, and sthe trips
on the Eastern Shore at the homes of
the Johnsons, Handys, Matthews, and
other branches of his family, and I
will sadly miss him at the meetings
of the Eastern Shore Society, where
We have always sat together at the
same table ever since it's organiza-
ton in 1918. There VIII be a weight
of sorrow, a lonely hour, a silent
voice, and a vacant chair.
Is there anything that's dearer
Than a true and loyal friend?
Is there anyone that's nearer,
When of sorrow there's no end?
With his unselfishness, his consid-
Grafton, and his solicitude toward
those who needed material assistance,
his sterling attributes and his kindly
acts-over such one the floodgates
of memory linger lovingly and tho
gone forever beyond our mortal ken,
we may eXclaim with Tennyson:
"This truth came bound on bier and
pail,
l know it when l sorrow most,
IT'S better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at ALL"
Six months ago he was apparently
in perfect health, with all his facul-
ties, and bid fair to live many years,
but in this brief time he was stricken
with the ma.ady that was to termi-
nate his earthly existence. He bore
his suffering with Christian meekness
and patience, fortified by an abiding
trust in the mercy of God and an. un-
failing faith in the promise of the
blessed Redeemer that those who be-
lieve in HIN should not perish, but be
given eternal life. The end came
peacefully as the dawning of the day
So passed, away one who had ev-
erything in this world to live for and
to make him happy. A truly wonder
full, bright, and happy family of five
childern, twelve grandchildren and
six great-grandchildren.
His life was largely devoted to the
service of others, life of brotherly
endeavor, always willing to stretch a
helping hand to the unfortunates; a
type of the most exhalted manhood;
beautiful in character, unselfish in his
every effort; guiding spirit to those
in doubt or distress; loved and re-
spected by the many who knew him:
one who is now, I trust, participating
in that Heavenly bliss reserved for
those who love and serve our Lord.
Our old friends are nearly all gone.
He has gone sooner than I to meet
them. In little while, with but lit
tie to live for, I shall follow him and
it will be we'll if I can look foesard
to the departure inevitable for all,

HEALTH DEPT.
ADVISES FRESH AIR
Sleeping With Windows Up Pre-.
vents Winter Colds. Contributes
To School Attendance

"Dont forget that sunshine and
fresh air-indoors as we'll as out of
doors-are two of the best preventa-
tives we have against the common
cold that so often makes its appear
ance as soon as the chilly weather
approaches" is the advice of DR.. John
S. Fulton, Director of the State De-
partment of Health.
"There is great tendency" he
continued, "as soon as the fall comes,
to close all doors and windows, and to
shut out all the outside air. The air
inside the house becomes impure from
being breathed in and out, over and
over again. Germs of the common
cold, as we'll as of other catching
diseases, thrive in air of that sort.
They can't flourish when there is a
constant circulation of fresh air. And
you are doubly safeguarded when the
sunshine is brought in as an ally. of
of the fresh air.
Fortunately for the grown-ups of
the future, the children of today are
acquiring health habits as matter
of course, while they are mastering
the three RS in school And they are
teaching some of their lessons to the
grown-ups in the homes as was prov
ed by a recent experience of one of
the public health nurses of the State
Department of Health.
"She noticed that the baby in the
family was kept out of doors every
sunshiny day, in screened kiddie
coop, comfortably dressed according
to the weather, but a real, open air
baby, instead of being kept indoors
like so many of the neighbors' chill
dren. When the mother was question
ed about it, she said that about three
years ago, her oldest boy, then about
eleven years old, came home from
school, one day in the early fall, and
told her that his health lesson for
the day, was: Sleep with your bed
room windows OPEN That night
Johnny's bedroom windows were wide
open, while mother slept in the next
room, sure that Johnny would wake
up with a sore throat and she would
find him and all the rest of the chill
dren down sick.
"But Johnny was down in the
morning with no sign of the threaten
ed cold or, sore throat. The next night
his windows were open, and the next
and so on for the entire winter. The
mother was at last convinced that the
open window was a preventative a.
gainst colds, and the following win
ter the windows in every bedroom in
the house were open at night.
"There are two morals to the sto-
ry," DR.. Fulton added, First, John
ny's baby brother is getting the bene-
fit of Johnny's example and is being
brought up as fresh air baby.
Second, and this is worth think
ing shout. For the first time since
entering school Johnny went through
that whole winter, without losing
single day from school because of
colds"
