been an important part Of the Brit
ish navy's rations for centuries, has
been banished by an order of the
admiralty. 1t Is announced that no
salt pork henceforth will be served
on British Warships. Canned meats
and canned vegetables are TO take

fresh articles arc rot available.
simultaneously 1t Is unofficiaIly
stated that mutton is to be removed
from the army's bill of fare. The
Daily Express says this is because
mutton now is too expensive, although
it IS supplied only once each fortnight
and that by cutting It from the menu
there will be q saving OF about $3.50

SPORT NEWS

Two notable achievements in the
way Of international sports have beer
recorded in the last week. Jesse
Sweetzer, the young bond salesman OF
New York City, won the British ANA
teur Golf championship, the honor
having rested in Britain ever since
Travis won it over two decades ago,
and subsequently lost it to our cousins
across the sea.
This is a signal victory for Ameri-
can skill in this game. The tourna-
ment was held in Scotland, the home
Of the sport, and Sweetzer ploughed
his way through all opposition, and
brought the laurels back to America.
He may be said to be the first real
American who ever won the title,
since Travis, the former victor, was
Australian born.
The present champion, Sweetzer,
had almost decided not to cross
the big ditch in search Of golf honors,
as his business seemed just at that
time to demand his attention; but he
was perusaded to defend his country
along this special line-and he brought
home the bacon. Such stars as Oui-
met, "Chick" Evans, and others COM
peted and were eliminated.

CAREFUL CROSSING
CAMPAIGN STARTED
Public Safety Guarded In Fifth
Campaign Waged By American
Railway Association.

Under the direction of the Safety
section, American Railway Associa-
tion, the Fifth National Careful
Crossing Campaign will be in effect,
June 1st to September 80, 1926. The
Importance of this movement is shown
by the fact that nearly half of all
fatal injuries to non-trespassers on
railroads occur at crossings. This
annual campaign Is having benefi-
cial effect, and is evidenced by the
fact that, while the number Of auto
mobiles increases by leaps and bounds
from year to year, there being ap-
proximately 2O,0OO,O00 in use at this
time, the number Of injuries and ia
talities due to crossing accidents re-
mains approximately stationary. In
other words, the ratio Of crossing
accidents to the number of au-
tomobiles in use is showing decided
NCCAC&oS AAVhA yC&A w JCAAs
The Pennsylvania Railroad is act
lively engaged in carrying on this
campaign, and earnestly solicits the
hearty support Of all public spirited
citizens, civic bodies, churches, schools
and all who have the interest and well
fare Of humanity at heart, in it's effort
to bring to the automobile public a
realization of the great Importance
and necessity of observing all rea-
sonable precautions and warnings
while using railroad crossings. The
prevention Of the. shocking tragedies
that have so frequently in the past
cast a gloom over the communities in
which they occur, and brought lasting
sorrow to the families involved, is q
matter of great public Importance,
and requires the active cooperation
Of the public to become really effect
i've. All the safety devices, warnings
and other means Of preventing such
accidents used by the railroads can
only reach full effectiveness through
the continuous cooperation of the
public, and this is earnestly solicited.
Statistics show that a very large
proportion of all grade crossing acci-
dents are the result of automobiles
running into trains or engines, which
is convincing proof that most railroad
crossing accidents are due to reckless
and careless driving, and inefficient
brakes. If this fact can be brought
home to all motorists, it will go long
way toward solving the grade cross
ing accident problem.
Millions of posters will be displayed
throughout the country during this
Campaign, and stickers and other
forms Of publicity will be distributed,
so that there is really no excuse for
anyone being uniformed Of this
movement and Of It's Importance

Improved Telephone
Service For Pocolnoke

The new and improved type of long
distance service recently inaugurated
in Pocomoke City is causing favorable
comment on the part of telephone
subscribers.
This statement from H. w. Carly,
manager Of the company here, refers
to the new system by which the SUBJ
scriber upon placing long distance
call is asked by the operator to hold
the line while she completes the call.
Under this plan, if the number of the
telephone in the called city is known,
it will usually be possible for operator
to complete the connection while the
telephone user remains at his tele-
phone, as the case in making local
call.
This method applies to both per-
son-to-person and station-to-station
calls in cases where the telephone
user can furnish the number Of the
telephone in the city or town he wish
es to be connected with. If the oper-
ator or if the call is to a point where
the operator anticipates a delay in
reaching the called number, she will
request the caller to hang up his re-
ceiver and the call will be completed
as heretofore.
"It is very gratifying to know that
our telephone subscribers are pleased
with this service" Mr.. Carly said, in
commenting on the time saved by the
operation. The telephone company
feels that this is a distinct advance in
the method of handling long distance
service. The plans for this type of
long distance calls were laid some
months ago and the necessary equip
ment arrangements having been COM
pleted, the service was instituted i'm
mediately.
The new service will include calls
to such points as Baltimore, Cape
Charles, Philadelphia, Easton, Laurel,
Del, and New York.
