The Star-Democrat, of Easton, con-
tanned the following notice, which will
be read with considerable local in
terest:
"Rev. r. P. Nichols, the new pastor
of Ebenezer M. E. Church, preached
his initial sermon last Sunday morning
before a large congregation. His
text was "And they found" The men,
bers were well pleased with the new
minister, and look forward to renewed
activities in the church. Mr.. Briggs,
the former pastor, has been unable to
serve the church regularly for the
last three years, owing to illness.
Mr.. Nichols came here from POGO
moke City, and had u successful
charge while in the southern part of
the Peninsula. One distinction is that
he was graduated from college in the
same class with President Coolidge.

Ferry System From
Lewes To Cape May

The Democrat acknowledges the re-
ceipt of an invitation to attend, to-
day the official ceremony of break
ing ground for the pier and wharves
at Lewes, Del, which will inaugurate
the ferry system to be opened be-
tween Lewes and Cape May.
These boats are to- be operated by
the National Navigation Company,
and they will be the contamination of
years of effort. They promise to be
of great material benefit not only to
Lewes but also to the adjoining coun-
ties of Maryland and Virginia.
Many notable citizens of the three
states are expected to be present and
participate in the ceremonies. The
Mayor of Lewes, Willard H. Collins,
has issued the following proclama-
ton:
81 call upon all good citizens
of Lewes, as far as possible, to
discontinue their usual labor or
business between the hours of
one and three in the afternoon of
Saturday, April 18th, and join in
the ceremonies and celebration,
and I do further urge that the
city be decorated by the display
of flags and bunting.

Mayor of Lewes.

on the basis of 40 per cent to the for
mer and 60 per cent to the latter.
The action of the piece reveals the
typical gossipy sewing circle, and the
costumes of former days added much
to the comedy of the situation. There
were the proverbial widow, spinster,
love lorn maiden, preachers wife, dea-
cons wife, and lone male character
representing him around whom is
woven the romance of the second
part.
Nancy Wentworth, sorrowing over
a lost lover, goes back to the church
after the other members of the sew
ing circle have left, and, while pen
sively engaged is delighted at the re-
turn of her lover, who sees light
in the old church. The happy re-un-
ion follows. The parts were pleasing
ly taken and, much credit must be
given to the folk who came in the in
terest of local congregation.
The musical past of the program
was taken care of by Szeyller's Or
chestra, M. Szeyller, Harry R. Dixon,
Mrs. Benjamin T. Dryden, Miss Ruth
Stevenson, Roger F. Vincent, Maurice
Groh, assisted by Howard Covington,
of Parksley.
G. S. MATHEWS, of Parksley, delight
ed. the audience with several bass So
los. He has an unusually good voice,
fine control, and exhibits very COM
nedable appreciation of his themes.
He was generously encored, and re-
sponded very graciously.

ing, "The Soul of the VIOLIN" was
we'll received, and showed good inter-
pretative powers.

ONE FACT REALLY FOUND

A factfnding agency to disclose price and
profits in the coal industry is contained in the Cope
land report just reported to the United States Sen
ate
It provided that the Department of Commerce be
authorized to find the cost Of production Of coal"
and whether the investment return is fairly esti-
mated, whether the profit is made by owner. oper-
ator dealer.
All of which sounds good, but recalled the facts
that Federal courts since 1919 have prevented the
discovery of just these facts In regard to coal In
joining the efforts of the Federal trade commission
to carry out a mandate of Congress to Investigate
the cost OF producing and distributing coal
Houston Thompson of the Federal trade com
mission does not what the Copeland bill would
add to the situation.
I'm 1919 we began the investigation into the
cost Of COAL" Thompson said. THE President and
Congress became excited about the high OF lv-
ing and directed us to begin with coal and steel
few months after had got to work, the national
coal association took us into court with request
for Injunction We waited for eleven months for
argument. It went from the District Court to the
Supreme Court After argument there we waited
eighteen months
"The argument centers about the question OF
interstate and interstate powers Until we have the
support from the Supreme Court at least deci
sion there is no use Of an investigation body trying
to discover the price Of coal"

This is one Of the statements which may sound
well, but which, If investigated, is without firm foun-
dation. The average woman deplores the constant
huctuation Of style, but is helpless in the matter.

who attempts to launch some new fabric, or
sales must start styles responsible for
this condition.
