Lightning also hit the home of
Mrs. Clara Beck in Rock Hall, tore
plaster from the walls, ripped
shingles from the roof and remov-
ed corner posts. Four persons
were in the house at the time, but
no one was hurt. From the coun-
tryside came reports that hail
stones were four to five inches deep
in the fields and thousands of
young cabbage plants had been de-
stroyed. Some farmers estimated
the stones S large as hens eggs.
The water and hail on the State
road leading into Chestertown de-
layed traffic for nearly an hour.
More than 100000 tomato plants
were destroyed by hailstorm
which struck the Perryhawken
section of Somerset County, Md,
in which about 20 farms are locat-
ed. The hail killed many acres of
beans, stripped young fruit from
peach and apple trees and serious
ly damaged grain fields. Hail fell
steadily for ten minutes and in
many places was several inches
deep. Some of the hailstones were
larger than walnuts.

sented Rotarian G. L. Harmonson,
who spoke on the achievements of
the club during its four years OF
activity. Since the organization of
the club it has taken an initiative
part in any outstanding event in
which the residents of Smyrna
were represented, Mr.. Harmonson
stated. In the charter year they
were hosts to the Champion Base
ball team of 1927, also sponsored
and awarded prizes for essays
written by pupils in the High
School. In the year 1928 the club
became known both Nationally and
internationally, as 100 per cent
club for attendance. W. E. Mat
thews Jr., and G. r. Stevenson,
both charter members, hold the
record for 100 per cent attendance
since the charter was granted.
Each year the club acts as host to
the Faculty Of Smyrna Schools.
Organization Of the club at Middle
town was the result of the work of
our local club. In the year 1929
the club had the distinction of en-
tertaining Glen Meade, Interna-
tional President of Rotary. Dur
ing the same year the club was ad-
dressed by several notable men.
The Christmas celebration in our
town now a yearly feature and
much admired by ALL had its in
ception in the local club and after
ward made a success by the Busi-
ness Mems Association. The club
cooperates in the support of any
celebration within the town and
heartily endorses the activities of
the Town Council. The club reach
es out to the farmer and last year
entertained group of our men
engaged in this occupation. Co
operation in the merchants pro-
gressive Dollar Day sales is just
another form of activity that is
embraced. The club as a benevo-
lent organization assists the local
chapter of American Red Cross,
helps to arrange and care for the
crippled children and each year
makes financial contributions to
Laura Lee Circle of Kings Daugh-
ters who take care of the less for
tunate families in our midst. The
club gave Mr.. Harmonson rising
vote of thanks for his excellent
talk. DR.. Harry v. Holloway of
Dover, and Gilbert Nichols of Mid
dletown, delivered addresses prais-
ing the club for their fine record.

We should bring a little dream life into education Experiences of educational experts indicate that we need balanced courses Engineers and scientists need other subjects than mathe- matics and science; they need a little culture besides knowing how to handle monkey wrench and pliers"
 "A students high-school record" asserted Dr. Bunnell, stays with him forever; his entire record is down in black and white and if he wants to transfer or go to col- lege his record goes right along with him. High school grades mean a great deal. although, of course, a boy or girl is not judged entirely by them"
 In concluding, Dr. Bunnell read poem by Edgar Guest which said that the wealth of the world is in our schools and in the construc- tive thought of high principled men and women.

possible way-by my own act con- firming the suspicious. Why should an innocent man resist arrest, and with such des- perate violence?
 My blood boiled at the thought that I had been betrayed by this ruffianly policeman's illegal vio- lence into doing that which would send me to prison, and so inter- fere with my life's business, of tracking down Rosemary's mur- derers.
 AS the policeman drew his pis- tol, I struck again with all my strength; and even as I did SO. again blamed myself for what was doing.
 By now, reason told me that if I could disable the man and get away, I might yet escape the net in which fate and my folly had enmeshed me.
 All this had flashed through my mind in the time it takes to de- liver a couple of swift blows.
 My first had sent the policeman staggering back, probably lit tie dazed and shaken. My second knocked him down, but not out.
 I now rushed and kicked with all my strength-not at the pros trate mans head and body, but at the hand that grasped the pistol. This I sent flying and, as the policeman scrambled swiftly to his feet, I aimed another blow at the point of his jaw. This he part ly dodged, caught me splendid clip with his left, and swung up his club to brain me as I stag gered.
 Ducking, sprang in, flung my arms about him, and heavily we fell together to the ground.
 Suddenly by kind of mutual consent, we released our holds and scrambled to our feet. Instantly l struck and again got in heavy

 I made no reply, for I was fast losing consciousness. and believed that I was dying-dying in bitter anger at the thought that Rose mary's murderer would now go un- punished
 I have a dim remembrance of being roughly dragged along the ground, and dropped beneath the lamp post beside the body of the murdered man.

as I was for the part that I was playing.
 These thoughts flashed through my mind as I rose to my feet to face-a policeman-who, club in hand, stood menacingly glaring, his other hand resting on the pistol that protruded from it's open hol- Ster.
 Put 'em up," he growled, and v
 I put one up like lightning, straight from my hip to the point of his jaw, and even as the tre- mendous blow went home, l real ized that in my sudden wrath, I had committed the most foolish act of my life.
 No judge would believe my story that the policeman had struck me first struck me down without a word
 Nor, even if the policeman had admitted it, would he have been severely blamed for adopting that method of arresting what the sup posed to be a murderous high way robber, caught in the very act of examining with wet blood- stained hands the purse he had so violently and brutally stolen.
 No I had made an awkward position into one just about as dangerous as it could be. Had I meekly accepted the situation, might possibly have been able to prove that I was not the thief and murderer, or, failing that, might perhaps have been given the bene- fit of the doubt-at any rate, to the extent of lighter sentence
 But in the most unfortunate and suspicious circumstances in ths world, I had acted in the worst

blow before his club whirled up. Then the club fell, and, as it did so, raised my almost useless left arm to protect my head while I delivered a tremendous drive that was to finish the fight.
 Almost simultaneously we struck, and, as my left arm broke, so did the policemans jaw. As stag gered back, he dropped without a sound, and lay like a sack of flour, inert and motionless.
 Drawing deep breath, I step- ped back. turned and sprinted, thankful beyond measure that no sound of following footsteps came. But my thankfulness was prema- ture.
 Scarcely was I well into my stride before there was a loud bang.
 A heavy blow struck my leg and stumbled.
