Baltimore Conference Epworth
League Institute Ends.

The Baltimore Conference Epworth
League Institute closed its camp week
Sunday night at Mountain Lake Park
with an impressive candle service, ac-
cording to the hundreds of spectators
present. More than three hundred
Eeaguers took part in this service.
The conference, comprising Baltimore,
Washington, Frederick, Martinsburg
and other points, in the Baltimore
Conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, has sent annually to the
Park during the past several years
representatives who have enjoyed to
the fullest the soul-stirring meetings
held there under the direction of a
corps of instructors and leaders.
A special six-car train took most
of the delegates back to their city
homes Monday morning.

This Correspondent Would Like to
See Twilight League in Preston and
Garrett COunties-Suggests That
Such an Organization Be Complete
Next Year.
To the Editor of The Republican.
1t is very evident that we should
have twilight league in this section
of Garrett county. | believe the proper
thing to do is to organize at once, al
though we do not get it working
in a proper manner this year, we shall
have it when the season opens next
year.
My idea is that we should get
three representative from localities
which are interested. l believe we
can best start with Oakland, Crel-
lin, Mt. Lake Park, Terra Alta this
year, or probably more would like to
get in, but l believe it best to begin
small. During the winter months we
could work on new vicinities, such as
Accident, Friendsville, Deer Park,
Gu antsville, probably Kingwood and
Aurora.
l think we should arrange to have
meeting at once and get some inter-
est aroused. l believe Lawrence Fra
ley would act on such committee,
and with two others the Oakland COM
mittee could be formed. suggest that
C. w. Ream, Stanley Ashby and R.
C. Ford be the committee to represent
Crellin; Terra Alta, c. A. Miller, DR..
Daley and Mr.. Dodge; Mountain
Lake Park, H. C. Leighton, R. c. Tas-
sic and M. G. Brown.
l am just making the above as
suggestion. Then if letters were
sent out arranging for meeting,
things ought to get started pretty
quickly. R. c. F.

DR.. N. l. Broadwater, DR.. M. c, Hine-
baugh and DR.. joan E. Legge were

avail. He is survived by his parents

Dover, Del; Mr.. and Mrs. Perry Burk-
holder and two children, Mr.. Joseph

Double Wedding SOlemnized.

A double wedding was solemnized
in St. Matthew's Protestant Episcopal
church in Oakland on Monday morn
ing at eleven o'clock.
Lee Darwin Saunders and Mildred
Rachel yelling, and Richard Daniel
Barger and Mildred Jane Eckley, were
the contracting parties, the ceremo-
MES joining the couples in wedlock
being performed by the Rev. Paul
Linaweaver, pastor of st. Matthews.
1t was Rev. Linaweaver's first exper-
fence in performing this holy rite, he

a minister of his church.
Both couples will reside at Clear
field, Pa, all the parties except Mrs.
Saunders having lived there formerly.

INJURED WOMAN RETURNS
HOME; One DAY A BLANK
Mrs. Edward Swartz, Who Sus-
tanned Fracture of Skull, Can
not Recall Days Events.

Mrs. Edward L. Swartz, 35, Scott
dale, Pa, who was found on the
Grantsville- Meyersdale highway Sat-
urday, July 16, suffering from frac-
ture of the skull, sustained when she
was thrown from a speeding car by
her kidnapers, returned to her home
one day this week, with, one day of
her life apparently a complete blank.
She was taken to the Miners Hos
pital, Frostburg, following the discov-
cry of her inanimate form on the road
and has since claimed that she is I'M
able to remember what happened to
her from the time she left her home
on Friday evening, intending to take
train to Pittsburgh, until she re-
gained consciousness Saturday morn
ing in the hospital.
Sheriff VIM. D. Casteel and Sergt.
George P. Gearhart, of the State po-
lice, who investigated the case, have
accepted the woman's story that she
can recall nothing that might aid the
officers in experimenting her assail-
ants.
Mrs. Swartz declared that two val
liable rings and other jewelry she
wore when she left home, are now
missing. Her husband, who was con-
stantly by her bedside during her stay
in the hospital, believes she was first
stunned by thugs and then thrown
from the car seventy miles from her
home after she had been robbed. He
is barber and musician of Scottdale.
81 don't know whether l was kid
mapped or not" she said before leaving
the institution. Cali know is that l
left home Friday evening to go to
Pittsburgh and from then on my mind
is complete blank. can recall moth
ing further until l regained conscious
ness here in the hospital"
1t was at first thought that the wo-
man was refusing to talk, in order to
shield the driver of the car from
which she was either thrown or fell,
but at the hospital Mr.. and Mrs.
Swartz gave every indication of be-
ing greatly attached to each other.

This Writer Wants New Creamery
So That He May Increase PrOduc-

Cour+y
While In Garrett County.

w ul1t Ill Souhey'
To the Editor of The Republican:
The idea of bringing to this COM
munity new milk shipping station
is to increase production and to make
dairying worth while in Garrett coun-
ty, one of the most natural dairying
counties in this section Of the United
States today. Production can be in
creased and will be increased at a
profit to the farmers of the county
providing there is some competition
created in opposition to our present
concern, because it must be admitted
that competitor is the life of trade in
industry, and by two concerns being
here, will give the farmer something
worth while to work for.
1t might be stated that question
aire sent from the county agents Of
flee in order to obtain information as
to what the farmers were mostly in
terested in and what problems they
wished to solve, ninety percent of the
questions returned show that the far
mers were interested in dairying and
complained as to the existing condi-
tions with which they had to contend.
The business men have also realized

SOVIET WIVES AID
GENEVA PRESTIGE
Gatherings of League of Ma

Social Side.

By Radio to The Star.
GENEVA, December 3.-Gatherings
of the League of Nations have their
important social side and the Russian
delegates. Maxim Litvinoff and Anatol
Lunatcharsky, by bring their wives
with them have done much to enhance
Soviet prestige.
Nine Lunatcharsky aroused quite
fiutter of interest in Genevas sus-
ceptible diplomatic circles. She is
pretty. we'll dressed actress or the
Moscow Art Theater, and when she
made her fist appearance at the pre-
liminary disarmament conference, sit-
ting among the secretaries or the Rus-
sian delegation, more than one emil
nent diplomat at the horseshoe table
cast an appraising eye In her oi-
rection.
Adjust MonOclee.
Monocles also have been adjusted
carefully in the direction of Nine. Lit
vinoff, who formerly was Miss Ivy
Low, niece of a titled English author.
Nine. Litvinoff not only Is charming
but talented. During the sessions
she amused herself by drawing pencil
sketches of Lord Cushenden. the giant
white-headed leader Of the British
physically even more, IL possible, than
mentally.
Those, however, who expected to
find NJ. Litvinoff looking like a car
toonists conception of Bolshevik
are disappointed. The Soviet delega-
tion's chief, with pcrtly physique and
chubby, clean shaven cheeks framing
a bland smile. might sit as a model
for Mr.. Babbitt.
VIII Depart Soon.
The Russians will not remain here,
either to parley with Sir Austen
Chamberlain or to Squabble with
Marshal Pilsudski. M. Litvinon told
the writer that the whole delegation
would depart in a day or two. He
declared that anv overtures toward a
RESUMPTION of relations with Great
Britain must come from London.
Marshal Pilsudski. who is coming hot
foot from Warsaw to tell the council
that Lithuania and not Poland Is
responsible for the tense situation in
Eastern Europe-and incidentally TO
provoke a dramatic scene with the
Russians-will be disappointed to flnd
his adversaries have abandoned the
field.
Their departure will permit relaxa-
ton or Spectal ponce measures.
Geneva's usual chautauqua-like atmos-
phere has been surcharged with
apprehensiveness since the Russians
arrival, due to the clanking and
tramping of guardians of the law.
The approaches to the League pala ce
have been closely guarded and the
public vigorously excluded. Even the
newspaper correspondents, who nor
mally are encouraged to roam freely
and enjoy unusual privileges, have
been obliged to procure special cards
bearing their photographs, taken by
| League photographer.
Whether the Swiss authorities be-
lieved the Soviet intention was to
unleash the long-awaited world revolu
| ton at this session, or merely desired
to avoid all risk of having another
Soviet delegate assassinated, as was
the case four years ago, cannot be
| learned.
