LATE VISIT OF SNOW TIES
TRAFFIC UP COMPLETELY
Ground Is Covered With % In
ches and Roads Blocked

King Winter paid Garrett county a
belated visit on Saturday, the last day
upon which the proverbial grounding
would have had any effect, according
to tradition, when the heaviest snow
fall of the entire season oversprea1
the ground to a depth of twenty-five
inches, disrupting traffic and block
ing the highways for several hours.
Yes, yesterday, March 81, was the
official beginning of spring.
The snow started to fall Friday
morning and continued without much
interruption until Monday about mid
night. ........ ......-.
The Oakland Keyser Ridge road and
the Oakland Thomas road were kept
fairly free of drifts, but the Oakland
Morgantown road was blocked for
more than day at a point just west
of Terra Alta.
Bus service and other traffic was
delayed to a considerable extent, but
Baltimore and Ohio trains ran on
schedule time. Telephone and electric
service continued undisturbed

WOMAN is UNSUCCESSFUL
in ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
Former Garrett County Resident
Took Poison on New York
Washington Train Yesterday

Mrs. Mary True, daughter of Frank
McRobie, of near Altamont, is in a
serious condition in a Washington ID.
c. hospital following an unsuccessful
attempt to commit suicide yesterday
morning while. passenger on a rail-
way train from New York to Wash
ington, according to information tele-
phoned The Republican at pine o'clock
this morning by the Washington
Times.
Mrs. True, who is said to be nurse,
and apparently about thirty-five years
of age, brown bobbed hair, stepped on
Baltimore and Ohio train in New
York yesterday morning, and at
point somewhere between the two
cities it is said she administered to
herself some kind of poison, presum-
ably chloroform. The train arriving
at Washington, railway attaches dis
covered the inert form of the woman
and calling the Union Station physi-
clan, who after an examination, pro-
nounced her dead, giving as his opin-
ion that she had been dead two or
three hours. The apparent suicides
remains were sent from the station to
the city morgue where attaches made
a second examination Of the body
when it was discovered that spark
of life remained in the body.
Calling the city fire department res
cue squad they assisted after several
hours of strenuous work in restoring
the woman to a semi-conscious state.
She was then removed to a hospital
where she is lying in a serious con-
dition.
1t is said that Mrs. True had at
tempted to destroy all means of iden-
LITIGATION but a letter or card which
she had overlooked was found among
her possession which led to her be-
coming known to the authorities.
Mrs. True is a widow, her husband
having been killed in 1918 in a mine
accident at Kempton. Prior to go
ing to New York she taught school in
this county.
Her father, Frank McRobie, is =
veteran of the Civil War and resides
on his farm near Altamont.

WEAKER SEX LOSES NERVE
AFTER MAN GETS LICENSE
Two or Three Each Month Never
Marry, Records Show

Here's the marriage license l OBJ
tanned the other day. She decided
not to have me-"
This is only one of the several let
tiers which have been received at diff
ferent intervals at the office Of the
clerk of the Circuit court from dis
APPOINTED Romeos who have had their
highest hopes dashed to the ground
simply because of the changeability OF
a woman's mind.
On an average, there are two OF
three licenses issued each month
which are never returned, A. G.. Ross,
deputy clerk, said, showing one of
several reasons for not getting mar
ried.
Italians who follow the custom OF a
certain part of Italy look upon mar
rage license as a permit, and do not
think it necessary to go to a minister
Consequently, Mr.. Ross pointed out
the minister never gets these licenses
and cannot return them to the court
house for record.
Zone couple l remember came II
one day with a marriage license which
had been procured about year pre-
vious and they wanted to know If 1t
was still good. They said they hao
decided, after getting the license, that
it would be better to wait.
"Some couples come here and de
sire to be wed by the Catholic priest
and unless they have the consent OF
the priest from their home, the re
quest is refused. The majority OF
these couples give up and go bach
home, taking their license with then
as a souvenir.
"a small percentage is caused by
the changing of woman's mind. Al
ter the license is procured and tn
couple is on the way to the minister
fine weaker sex loses her nerve ant
the deal is off,"
A decision like this caused tn
above letter to be written to the cler!
recently, and proves conclusively tina
one is never sure of what he gets un
til he gets it, and then he isn't sure.

PROF. T. B. SYMONS PRAISES
WORK ON DAIRY PROJECT
Says Committee Has Fulfilled Its
PrOmises-NOw up to Farmers

Members of the dairy committee,
Oakland Commercial Club and few
farmers heard DR.. 7. B. Symons, di-
rector of the State Extension Ser
vice of the University of Maryland,
congratulate them on the work they
have started in bringing milk ship
ping station to Garrett county at a
meeting held in the Court House on
Monday morning He also said that
he believed it would be of great value
to the county to develop it into dairy
section. Mr.. John McGill, secretary of
the Maryland Virginia Milk Produc-
ers Association, also addressed the
meeting.
The dairy committee has arranged
for the tuberculosis testing of the
dairy animals in the county to begin
on April 2.
The site for the proposed milk ship
ping station has been selected and the
building of the plant will begin April
2 provided the Chestnut Farms Dairy
is assured that the supply of milk,
which was promised by the committee,
will be available by May L.
The committee has, therefore, ac-
cording to J. L. McGlone, county
agent. carried out its promises to the
farmers. at is now up to the far
mer to get ready and furnish the milk
by the first of May" he said.
Many of the farmers have started
to remodel their barns but there are
still some who have not said they
would be ready. Should they still
want the new milk shipping station,
Mr.. McGlone advised, they should re-
port their intentions to some member
of the dairy committee so that at the
next meeting to be held the latter part
of this month, report can be made
to the president of the Chestnut
Farms Dairy, which fact will be the
determining one with reference to the
establishment of the station.
The success or failure depends upon
the farmer, Mr.. McGlone said, so it
is up to them what the outcome OF the
project will be.
