Every few years somebody pro-
poses that the forty-ninth State OF
the Union be created out of the pres
ent State of Delaware and the cas-
tern shore of Maryland and Virginia.
Henry L. Mencken, the Socrates OF
Baltimore, is one of the latest TO
urge such a change. He gave as his
reason that the inhabitants of the
eastern shore of Maryland and of
Delaware are exactly alike in their
political viewpoints, their habits,
customs and modes of living. He
said they naturally belonged in the
same State.
He compared them, quite unfavor-
ably to the residents of Baltimore
and the Maryland Free State proper.
Now Comes ]. w. Johnston, Phil
adelphia advertising agency head
and garden expert, who says Mr..
Mencken doesn't know thing about
the characteristics of Delawareans
and the Eastern Shore folk.
Johnston, himself an original Blue
Hens chicken, says that down along
the Eastern Shore the favorite COM
parison is this:
"In Maryland the farmer sell what
they can't eat, and in Delaware the
farmers eat what they can't SELL"
Most people never think seriously

Then Jeanne went to spend two weeks with favorite aunt. When she came back her mother realized that although it takes years to build up good behavior, two weeks is plenty of time in which to break t down.

 She demanded help and attention and the most frequently recurring phrases Of her speech were T want and T wish I had"
 Aunt Lou had tried to make Jeanne happy by giving her every thing, The wheels of the house hold had revolved around her dur ing those two weeks.
 Uncle John had made a great fuss over her, tweaking her curls and pinching her cheeks and making her guess who was his sweetheart. Tc which Jeanne had to learn to re- spend, T guess I am.'

overcome d more serious disease.
 Of late, an interesting and unusual application Of these principles has been reported by Dr. Baer of the Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Baer reports the use of mag cots in osteomyelitis. an infamma- ton of the bone marrow. In ancient medical writings, it was often recommended that maggots should be used to clean" the wounds of patients with broken or diseased bones.
 During the war. Dr. Baer observed that soldiers left unattended on the field of battle, would have their wounds invaded by maggots.
 The wounds of such soldiers healed quicker than those whose wounds were treated early. Investigation revealed that the maggots destroyed the material that would otherwise have furnished food and board' for germs.
 In the pursuit Of his studies, Dr. Baer was required to artifcially cul, tlvate sterile maggots and recently he reported the successful applica ton of this "scavenger worm" tc cases of bone disease.
 Dr. Baer's study interesting in it. self. is particularly Illustrative o1 the devious paths into which the study of disease treatment may lead

Jerry Muskrat's children had gone out into the Great World to make homes for themselves. All Of them had gone down to the Big River, for you see, they wanted to see something of the Great World, and the Smiling Pool was not big enough place for them. Now, you would have thought that their mother would have missed them sadly She didn't. She didn't seem to miss them at all.
 Peter Rabbit noticed this. q should think you would be very lonesome, Mrs. Muskrat,' said Peter.
 ''1s Mrs Peter very lonesome when the last of her children goes out into the Great World?" asked Mrs. Muskrat.
 Peter considered for a moment Well, said he, sometime it seems 10 me there isn't any last. You know. one family is hardly out of the way when another one takes it's place. IL seems 10 me sometimes as if there are babies in the dear Old Briar- patch all the time through the summer"
 Mrs Muskrat srinned. I've mothers do not have much time to be lonesome" said she. And with out another word she disappeared under water and Peter saw no more of her that day.
 Jerry Muskrat spent most of his time taking things easy. There was plenty to eat and little difficulty in getting it. There was no work de- manding his attention. So Jerry swan about, visited and had good time generally. Peter Rabbit hap pened to remember that when Mrs. Muskrat had had that big family in the house in the bank Of the Smiling Pool Jerry had had to go elsewhere.
 T suppose said Peter to Jerry. that now the family has gone, you are back in that home of yours in the bank
 Jerry grinned. "supposing so doesn't make it so," said he.
 What do you mean by that?" de- manded Peter
 "Just what I said" replied Peter.
 Do you mean that you are not living there?" Peter asked.
 You've guessed it." said Jerry.
 Peter at once became very curi- ous. Why" he demanded Why aren't you living there?"
 For the same reason that l didn't live there before" replied Jerry. and grinned again.
 You mean-you mean" be gan Peter.

THE END
KING OF IRAQ WANTS
700 MILE PIPE LINE
Negotiates for S5O,OOO,OOO Worth of
Equipment; Project Opposed,

BIZ United Press
BERLIN, Aug. 1.-THE success of
the scheme of King Fiesal of Iraq to
build 700-mile pipe line from Mo-
sui to a Mediterranean port to en-
able his country to develop its oil
resources, was viewed here today
with considerable Skepticisn.
The king is negotiating with the
German firms of Krupp, Otto Wolff
and Wirth to deliver $30,000000
worth of pipes and $10,000,000 worth
of additional equipment to install
and operate the line which would
run through Syria, but the present
worlds overproduction and the re-
sultant price depression left great
doubt as to the success of his plans.
Approximately 70 per cent of the
stock in the Iraq Petroleum Com
pany, which owns the Mosul oil
fields. is held by the Anglo-P Persian,
the Royal Dutch, the Standard and
the Gulf Oil companies. which are
opposed to stimulating Mosul pro-
duction with the price levels now as
low as they are.
