the public opening of Collins

cradle improvements have been

tention of keeping up its reputa-
tion as a pleasure resort. The
opening day is fixed for Thursday,
July 18th.
The excursionists yesterday to
Collins Beach from st. Paul's
Church, Wilmington, had a de-
lightful time and in their annual
exuberance quite a number of
them took to the water for a bath
without regard to the fact that
there is danger in bathing so early
in the season.
A large excursion was at Col
lins' Beach yesterday from st.

Killed by a Mule.-On Friday
afternoon last boy, named Charl-
es Swiggett, employed on one of
Steamer Tygert's wagons, driven
by Thomas w. Blakeley, near Big
Oak, met with an accident that
ended his life on the following
Sunday morning. He had been
cultivating corn, and on hitching
up the gears preparatory to going
to the house, he tried to mount the
mules back but failed to get high
enough. He caught at and in his
effort to pull himself up by the
gears kicked the animal which
started it in run. The boy in the
mean time had become entangled
in the gears, and losing his hold
was dragged a considerable dis
tance, the mule hitting or kicking
him with his hind feet at every
jump, dragging him over two pairs
of bars and through stable door.
From his head to his feet his in
juries were terrible from the eff
fects of which, as before stated he
died in some 36 hours. He was
Is years old.

fkse unusual reliability and ecOnomI
Of the neUU Ford

A SIGNIFICANT TRIBUTE to the value of
n the new Ford is found in its increas-
ing use by Federal, state and city gov
ernmenis and by large industrial COM
panies which keep careful day-by day cost
records. In most instances, the Ford has
been chosen only after exhaustive tests
of every factor that contributes TO good
performance-speed, power. safety, COM
fort, low cost of operation and up-keep,
reliability and long life.
Prominent among the companies using
the Ford are the Associated Companies
of the Bell System, Armour and Com
party, The Borden Company, Continental
Baking Corporation, Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company, General Electric Com
pany, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany, Kellogg Company, Knickerbocker
Ice Company, Morton Salt Company,
Pillsbury Flour Mills Company, The
Proctor and Gamble Company, and
Swift & Company.
Each of these companies uses large
number of Ford cars and trucks. The
Associated Companies of the Bell System,
use more than eight thousand.
Modern business moves at a fast pace
and it needs the Ford. Daily, in count
less ways and places, it helps to speed
the production and delivery of the
worlds goods and extend the useful SER
vice of men and companies.
Constant, steady operation over many
thousands of miles emphasizes the ad-
vantages of the sound design of the Ford
car, its high quality of materials. and

Poor Porto Rico.

 Governor Roosevelt of Porto Rico tells President Hoover that the people of that island colony of ours in a desperate condition The native Porto Ricans poverty stricken dsease-ridden, under nourished
 Infant mortality is on the increase and tubercu- losis is more prevalent there than anywhere else in the western hemisphere The American Child Health Association has outlined an elaborate pro- gram for the improvement of conditions in Porto Rico. This included a drainage survey to rid the island of malaria and system of hospitals to fight tuberculosis
 l Porto Rico has been American colony for now 30 years, since we took it from Spain. It has fertile soil and delightful climate, yet, for some reason, the reports from Porto Rico tell always of extreme poverty there. Here is tropical isle i of the sort from which draw our dreams of heaven, and on it such suffering this hear Of now.
 Efforts to help the Porto Ricans have not been absent. Since the American occupation, hookwornl has been successfully attacked. Great emphasis has been laid upon education and compulsory edu- cation laws are in effect. Still, these tales of misery in what should be blissful land On Porto Rico's 36O6 square miles there live square miles, two Porto Ricans to every three acres This is almost crowded as poverty stricken India The infantile death rate in Porto Rico is three times that in the United States. The health pro- posas of the Child Health Association would reduce that death rate-and increase population al- ready larger than the land seems able to support.
 Porto Rico is far from a simple problem fol its American well-wishers to wrestle with.

Passing of the Frontier.
Anchorage Times.) )


 Alaska is looked upon as frontier, the last frontier of the United States But the educational religious and social conditions in Alaska do not indicate frontier. One naturally associates the frontier with a wilderness where the early settlers deprived of all the comforts of civilization all the advantages of schools churches and society We associate with the idea of the frontier the conditions that existed in the West following the stampede days of '49 and lose sight of the won- derful improvement in of transportation which quickly makes wealth producing region accessible The frontier of eighty years ago cannot exist today.
 The educational, religious and social conditions in Alaska will prove pleasant surprise to all persons who have obtained their ideas of frontier life from reading stories of the wild and wooly west In every Alaska center of industrial activity in every important settlement, even though it is composed almost entirely of natives there are public schools; and there churches in every town of importance, with many missions scattered over the Territory to the less thickly settled regions. Isolation which characterized the early West and which retarded progress in Alaska, has given way rapidly under the influence of mod ern means of transportation, pushing farther and farther into the wilderness. There is not corner of the Territory which is not visited occasion be penetrated by the Norths aerial trail blazers. And with improved transportation facilities thera has also the worlds newest enghtener, the radio. No frontier exist for long with such means at hand for the bridging of distances.

ABOUT CARVING TEXAS.

If Representative Garner would propose to make three States instead of five out of Texas he might live long enough to the thing accomplished. Texas would make five States each large as New York Pennsylvania She would make a of States each larger than the combined of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. However, the development of transportation systems and of communication have made larger States practicable In fact, it would improve the situation in the country if all six New England States were State. The one State would be smaller than Pennsylvania in both and popu- lation. But Texas could be cut into three States each larger than the State of Washington in both area and population-and she would have 50000 square miles and 500000 people to spare That would be very reasonable suggestion Four States would not be unreasonable, but three would not cause jealousy and would be about right. They would make only four additional Southern Senators. The treaty by which Texas joined to the Union provided that she would have the right to con- stitute five States If she would ask to become three the request would probably be granted readily

WICKERSHAM ADMITS PROHIBITION
 IMPRACTICABLE.

Usually the most effective arguments for O against a cause are those that are stated in tenn perate language and appeal to the reason rathe than to prejudice passion. No speech on tn question has been more effective in the seal against Prohibition, probably, than the unexpected presentation of the in favor of temperance through education rather than through force b. Chairman Wickersham of President Hoovers Lav Enforcement Commission in his Boston address t social workers recently.
 Departing from a prepared speech MT. Wick ersham astounded 5000 auditors by declaring, in ef feet that Prohibition enforcement is impossible The New York Times gives this account of hi speech:
 Mir Wickersham asserted, in substance, that the English system of promoting tenn perance by education and restrictions of li- quor sales far more effective than the American method of Prohibition with harsh penalties for violation.
 The speaker indicated his belief that Pro- hibition enforcement had failed to attain the objective sought because too much stress has been placed increasing penalties and too little education in the benefits of temperance.
 His audience applauded his statements, especially when he quoted an English mag istrate saying that drunkenness in his district rare that an offender should be brought to museum instead of a court.
 MT Wickersham said it perfectly obvious" that from the enactment of the Vostead act to the present time reliance carrying out the purposes of the Pro- hibition amendment was placed upon the power of the Government to compel by penalties adherence to the statute law This method, he said, reached it's peak in the Jones law.
 No process of education attempted education of the public into the value of Prohibition to accomplish the maximum of temperance in the community at tempted during all this period" he con- tinued. "The long of demonstra- tion of the evils of the of intoxicat- ing liquor which had led to the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment was aban- doned"
 The speaker then discussed the English method of meeting the liquor problem since the war, with the result that mark ed decrease in drunkenness has been shown there.
 This is ascribed in part" said MT Wick erham ito the restriction of the hours of the day and in the evening during which liquor be sold, the regulation of the quality of the liquor, requiring a higher price but mainly to the general process of education of the public into the evils of excessive drinking and the advantages of other forms of innocent amusement"
 After detailed the benefits derived from the English system, MT Wickersham ended his statement by saying
 All this evidence furnishes very cogent suggestion to those charged with the en- forcement of the Eighteenth Amendment in the United States, to better methods of attaining the object of that amend ment than those which for the past decade have been pursued"

 correctly The United States grew to greatness through a low tariff. She always had low or very moderate tariff until she more than three times as populous Canada is now She then grew greater still because she contained the largest free
 trade and population of any section of the world. And the rapidity of her growth increased in proportion to the improvement and cheapening Of transportation among the different sections of the country, which had the effect of making trade freer throughout her more than three million square miles.

"A PUBLIC MEETING WITH
ASSEMBLYMEN TO BE HELD
Subjects Relating to New Laws,
Repeal of Old Ones, ETC., May
be Presented by Citizens
TO BE HELD JANUARY 8

An open meeting in which citizens
will meet with Garrett County mem

ent laws or for resembling any of the
present local acts.
The entire day will be given over to

ty, such as boards or their representa-
tives, town councils or their represen-
tatives, and to any citizen of the

for presenting subjects in conformity
with the purpose for which the hear
ing will be held.
This will be the only opportunity
for the people of the county to meet
the members of the General Assembly
before they go to Annapolis, and it is
urged by a member Of the House that
any person wanting any legislation
enacted, amended, or repealed, to
come before the delegation at that
time and present their views for con-
sideration.

Members of the General Assembly
are Senator H. W. McCoaas, Oak
land; Delegates Albert Markley, Oak
land; Ohio S. Fike, Avilton; A., G.
