And The Land

Congress.
Great Need of Preservation

Not only the land on which Barne
gat Lighthouse stands but the light
house itself will be transferred to the
State OF New Jersey, under bill in
troduced in Congress by Congressman
Appleby, of Asbury Park. The object
of the transfer as stated i'll the bill is
for the acquisition of the land and
lighthouse for the purpose of securing
from the State of New Jersey the ap-
preparation of $4,000, which will not
be available until the State of New
Jersey receives the deed in fee simple
The tract of land belonging to the
government originally consisted of ap-
proXimately ten acres and was con
veyed by John Ashley Brown to the
United States. April %, 1857, for light
house purposes. Most of it is now
under water.
When the late T. Frank Appleby
was member of the 9th Congress
he introduced an appropriation bill OF
over 100000 for the Barnegat Light
preservation, but the money was spent
by the Lighthouse Board in the Middle
West on the Great Lakes. Last year,
while Elmer Geran represented the
Third District, Stewart Appleby had a
conference with Secretary Hoover and
urged the government to retain the
Barnegat Light, as a historical light

Felicitates Father By Air
Mail On 9th Birthday

Frank Matthews, ST., of Somerset
county, near Pocomoke City, has lived
long enough to see some of the WON
ders Of the world. If some one had
told him, in his youth, that he would
live to receive a letter brought thru
the air in a flying machine, he would
probably thought it dream of the
most vapory sort. But the miracle
has happened, and Mr.. Matthews has
heard from his son in California, and
the missive came by air mail, landed
in New York, and came over land
from that point. Mr.. Matthews was
81 years of age at his latest birthday.
and the letter in question came from
his son, Charles Matthews, in Los Ar
geles, congratulating him on passing
another milestone of his life, and re-
membering him with some birthday
gifts.
The letter breathes the spirit of fiI-
ial love for the father, and must have
been source of much qualification 20
the, nonagenarian. No doubt Mr..
Matthews has been felicitated on his
length of years by many friends and
the Democrat desires to add its word
to those already spoken.

MISS GLADYS BULL
WINS FIRST HONORS
Leon Fisher Second In P. HIS Dec
lamation Contest Held Tuesday
Evening Last.

Those who missed the High School
Defamation Contest last Tuesday
night, missed one of the most inter-
esting and closely contested in years.
The three judges from the Salisbury
State Normal School, Miss Marshall,
Miss Duer and Miss Lord certainly
had proposition to select the best.
However, hard it was to choose, it
had to be done, and Miss Gladys Bull
is to- be congratulated for winning the
honors. A close second was Leon
Fisher and he likewise deserves con-
graduation. L-l..-s...-s..-
It seems a strange coincidence that
the winning speeches this year have
won first and second honors before
with, "Little Bobby Shaftoe," taking
first place and "The Perfect Tribute, )"
taking second.
Miss Bull will represent Pocomoke
in the county contest, to be held Apr.
0, at Stockton. Mr.. Fisher will be al
ternate. Tickets for the contest are
on sale at the local High School, and
may be obtained by calling on Mr..
Eutsler.
The good looking appearance of the
stage was due to the furniture loaned
by Smullin & Son, and the flowers
donated by patrons of the school.

bearings, he came to earth on the
second round with his motor silenced.
AS the rubber tired WHEELS caught the
ground, the machine shot forward at
rapid rate. Before it was halted
the driver discovered a ditch in his
path. Starting the engine again, he
arose sufficiently to escape the ditch,
but not high enough to clear an apple
tree beyond the ditch. Into this he
crashed, striking it with the right
wing of his plane, and coming with =
thud to the ground.
Those who looked on were stunned
for while, fearing the worst for the
occupants; but, much to the delight of
everybody, the two men crawled out,
absolutely unframed.
Col. D. John Marley, with his
aviator, Lieut.. M. X. Erdman, were
the two both fortunate and unfortun-
ate men. The former had come to in
spect the local Headquarters Company
last Tuesday evening. The plane was
to arrive on Monday, when COL Mar
key would proceed to Crisfeld, inspect
the company there, and return here
next day, leaving the plane in Hur-
ley's field.
Col. Marley left shortly after the
accident for Crisfield. Lieut.. Erdman
went to Baltimore Monday night. The
air plane will be carried back on a
truck. It is almost a complete wreck.
The right wing, propeller, and landing
wheels were smashed to bits; the left
wing considerably damaged, and the
motor probably knocked out of align
Inent. The body of the plane seemed
to escape serious damage. The men
were lucky to come out of the wreck
unhurt, and are to be warmly con-
graduated on that fact.
