Fruits Line Roads
To Ocean Citu, Md.

In every direction from Ocean
City, Md, the roadsides are lined
with the peach and apple orch
ards of the Harrison Nurseries,
which cover $500 acres of all
varieties of fruit and ornamental
stock. This, too, is at its best
during the resort season. Even
more worthy of mention are the
cantaloupe and the watermelon
to which the climate and much
of the soil are adapted perfectly.
producing an unusual flavor.
Ocean City has no need what
ever for cold storage foods. and
no canned goods are served ex-
cept such as must be prepared
out of season.

The advent Of summer weather
Is driving motorists In ever.
increasing numbers to the water
front resorts that dot Chesapeake
Bay, the Potomac River and also
the winding Patuxent. To recon-
mend any one resort or section
would be unfair. They all have
their merits.
AS one of the weekend holiday
trips, however, the car owner will
be wise In heading through Ana
costa and toward the southern.
most tip of Maryland. where the
Potomac joins with the bay.
The lnotoriSt leaves the Capital
through Eleventh st. S. E., and
two blocks across the Anacostia
bridge follows the road leading
toward Waldorf.
High Road in Detail
The high road to Scotland
Beach and Point Lookout is
shown more in detail as it is
the backbone highway serving
the watering places along the
East Bank of the Potomac and
the west shores of the Patuxent.
Therefore, if Mr.. Motorist, with
the advice and counsel of Mrs.
Motorist, feels that the 82-mile
drive to the southern tip of Mary
land lea round-trip--is too much,
there are a welter of places closer
to washington.
Upon reaching Waldorf the
motorist can turn toward La
Plata and thence to Morgantown-
on-the- Potomac or Rock Point.
just across the Potomac from
these resorts is Colonial Beach.
just below Waldorf is Hughes
vile. BY turning eastward the car
is headed for Benedict, where
quite summer colony has been
built on the banks of the
Patuxent. A ferry crosses the
river, a motor-driven scow. with
a capacity of two cars and pro-
videS access to the road into
Prince Frederick.
Upon reaching Leonardtown it
Is like a new world. The peace
and quiet Of rolling farms and
restful communities stand in con-
trast to the hustle of the Capital.
Scores of tiny resorts and fishing
places are near by. At most any
Of them boats can be hired, ar
rangementS made for a guide and
fishing tackle, and if you land a
big one--there will be someone to
help pull 1t in.
Has Historic Interest
Below Leonardtown, at Clifton
Mills. the road to Piney Point and
st. George Island branches to the
south, and offers the way to an
other waterfront retreat. How
ever, some win halt before leaving
Leonardtown and drive to st.
Clements Shores.
This southern tip Of the great
State Of Maryland Is not without
its historic interest. At st. Mary'S
City the motorist will find a bit

The climax to this antagon.

On the east side there were
also three doors. Almost at

The sounds came nearer un-
til they were outside the door.
All those in the room turned
and q white-haired old man,
his face emaciated, his whole
body shrunken, wheeled himself
in an old, creaky wheel-chair
into a position to look into the
room.
This, Robin Dale was soon to
learn, was Dedrick Adair. IA
ther of the murdered man.
The only thing about MIN
which seemed to be alive were
his eyes, and they glistened
menacingly at the group IN
the room. Captain Blake
crossed slowly to the door.
And you are. sir?" he said
to the old man in the chair.
II am Dedrick Adair, master
Of this house!"
"You were on this floor all
night?"
Tonight and for five years."
"You heard the shot which
killed your-your-"
my son! No, I did not hear
anything"
Someone was mounting the
stairs. It. was Augusta Adair.
Without even glancing at those
about Bob Adair's door. she
went into her room, the en-
trance door of which faced the
stair landing. Her room, with
Bob Adair's, comprised the
south side of the house, with
the bathroom between the two
rooms.
Captain Blake then ques-
toned the old man as to the
relationship Of the people in
the house. Dedrick and Au-
gusta Adair we're sister and bro
ther: she was unmarried. De-
drick had four children, Bel
fridge, SuZanna, Bob and Ger
aid. OF these only one was
married, Belfridge, whose wife
was Nancy. All these Robin Dale
had now met. There was one
other in the household, young
Roderick, son of Belfridge and
Nancy Adair, a lad of ten who
was asleep in his room.
Through all Of this the old
man was extremely antago-
nistic. He refused in any man.

statement about the revolver
shot. It was later to develop
that every person in the house

shot. AS Captain Blake, with
difficulty, obtained the answers
to his perfunctory questions
from old Dedrick Adair, Robin
Dale made, careful study of
the layout of the upper hall
ways. He sensed that in some
manner the situation of the
rooms would have a bearing on
/. the ultimate solution of the
strange murder.
On the south side of the hall

one led into the bathroom, the
one to the left into Bob

She Processes to Be Her Friend
Dear Miss Fairfax: I'm very
much in love with a man I
know, but have never been out
with him. A girl who processes
to be my friend goes out with
him often, knowing that I love
him. She doesn't care a par
ticle for him, but says that he
loves her. I've often asked her
not to go out with him, but
she still does. What would you
advise me to do? Would you
ease my anxiety a little, dear
Miss Fairfax. by answering me
soon? I'm very grateful to you.

It seems to me that a little
pretended indifference in re-

be a good working plan. As to

It would be better not to let

some element of honesty In any

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
The other day I enjoyed
hearing you read a letter over
the radio from a woman who
said her husband didn't know
how to wash his hands. Does
any man?
They do exactly as that
woman said, use enough soap to
loosen the dirt, dribble q little
water on them and seize the
best looking towel in the bath
room, and wreck it. I believe
any clean person, with no skin
disease should be able to use
an individual towel at least
three or four times, but my
husband and the husbands of
all my friends seem to be in
league with the laundries. I
don't blame that woman for
getting mad-I'm mad, too.
Why don't they teach boys,
in the public schools, how to
wash their hands?
FURIOUS MAUDE.
Don't take it so hard, Maude,
you don't mention any other
faults on the part Of friend
husband, so we are forced to
conclude that defective hand.
washing is his only crime. How
happy you should be. If you
can't teach him to make a good
job Of washing his hands, just
imagine, as I said over Station
WMAL that he's the president
Of the local bridge club and-it
will all come out in the wash.
I shall be glad to hear from
other wives about this-is it
true that men don't know how
to wash their hands?

Fighting Nashville Journalist
Was National Railway

BY the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, August ED
ward B. Stahlman, publisher Of the
Nashville Banner, died today after an
extended illness. He was 81 years old.
The reputation of Edward Bushrod
Stahlman as a fighting journalist was
rivAled by his fame as transportation
builder. :,
before he purchased the Nashville
(Tenn) Banner in 1885 and threw IL
inte bitter business and political oat-
ties in which threats of personal Vlo-
lence to its publisher failed to MAKE II
WAIVER. he had developed himself from
railroad laborer to one of the best
known authorities in the country on
transportation.
Career Marked by Hard Work.
His long and circuitous career, how
ever, was marked by milestones OF hard
work. When he retired at the age OF
Sc he had never had vacation, even
though he went to work as a boy. Soon
after his family came from Germany
where he was born on September :,
1343. his father died, leaving his
mother and seven children dependent
upon this son.
Although he had been crippled when
a school bench fell on his leg, the boy
became a member of railroad con-
structions gang near Gallatin, Tenn,
during the Civil War. The general man
ager was impressed by his determine
ton and promoted him to clerkshlp.
Subsequently he went to Bristol, Va
Tenn, on a railroad lumber job and
while there became connected with the
Southern Express Co. as travelling au-
ditor. Five years later Mr.. Stahlman
became contracting freight agent for
the Louisville & Nashville Railroad,
from which position he rose to general
freight agent, general traffic manager
and a vice presidency and later to vice
president of the Louisville, New Albany
g. Chicago Railway, the ''Monon route. =
He also served as commissioner OF the
Southern Steamship & Railway Lines.
Mr.. Stahlman was member OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church South and
was one of the organizers of the Natinal
Young Mems Christian Association. He
was a thirty-second degree Mason.

elbow we're visible above the ground.
The disappearance of the couple first
attracted attention from State and
county authorities this week. Joe
Stefanosky, a farm hand employed oy
Stefanovicz, had told neighbors the
couple had gone to Chicago. Mean
while he took charge of the farm and
disappeared a few days ago. Police
said he took with him $500 cash In
rents and the proceeds from auctioneo

The discovery Of the bodies recalled
the disappearance Of a previous owner
