II successful. the name of the re-
habilitated resort will be Lower
Cedar Point-Morgantown.
Originally a steamboat wharf
and a country store, Lower Cedar
Point came into prominence as a
summer resort in 1880, after
Washington steamboat interests
had persuaded Peter Dill, its
owner, to allow excursions.
Started in 1882
In 1882 it was taken over by
the Bowers Brothers, of Washing
ton. who leased the resort for a
year. It was under their guidance
that the point found its first
real popularity. The steamer
John w. Thompson, named for
the president and principal owner
of the Metropolitan National
Bank, was chartered to run ex-
curSions.
Lower Cedar Point reached it's
height shortly thereafter, when

Mitkovitch, Russian, to operate
it.

PRISON FARMS
SUGGEST FUL,
SAYS KEARNS
Maryland Penal Colony Now
Being Augmented by Extra
Barracks for Prisoners

The fact that additional bar
racks are being built at the
Maryland State Penal Farm near
Hagerstown, and that 200 new in
mates will soon come to the
welfare farm from the peni-
tentiary and House of Correc-
ton, indicates that the farm idea
has proved it's worth, declares
Hal T. Kearns, superintendent.
Mr.. Kearns, former pastor. said
the Is men now at the farm are
developing into good citizens and
appreciate the privileges given
them. He believes the 200 men
coming later will likewise be
benefited by the open life.
The farm inmates are bound by
no rules except "be decent and
good sports" There are no
barred windows. iron doors or
armed guards. The men work on
the 890-acre tract with little or
no supervision. Last week they
harvested 5000 bushels of wheat
from ITS acres. There are 40
acres of alfalfa, 20 acres of
potatoes, 40 acres of corn, 500
chickens, 40 acres of timothy
hay, Is milk COWS, and 20 head
of other stock.
Said KearnS:
1--WE are all partners up here.
"A fellow has only to show he
is decent and a good sport.
There are no other rules. The
leading sport is baseball. The
men look on their work as a
cooperative undertaking. They
are jealous of the institution
and take a pride in their con-
StruCtiye work"

v OMAN KNOWS
DIVORCE WOES

Married a week ago today, Mrs.
Archer Bernard Cummins, the
former Miss Adelaide Southwick,
of Washington, is a firm believer
in marriage.
All of which might not he sur
priSi1g in so recent a bride but
for the fact that Mrs. Cummins
has been for a year and a half
secretary to Raymond Neudecker.
one of the Capitals leading d.
vOrce lawyers.
Has Definite Ideas
Out of the muck and mire of
the hundreds of divorces that
have passed before her eyes, Mrs.
Cummins has evolved certain very
definite ideas on how to be hap
py, though married. AS happy
as she is blissfu1ly certain she
and her newly welded bride
groom are going to be.
Asked her views on the subject
she exclaimed:
"LOve and MARRIAGE! OF
course, I~believe in them. And,
why not? I've noticed that
people usually get a divorce
because their marriage lacked
certain fundamental qualities
necessary to a happy union,
such as, / am sure, ours is
going to be-"
Have Similar Tastes
Blushing, the bride set forth
her recipe for happiness. SINH
larity of taste ranks high in Mrs,
Cummins' opinion. Both she and
Mr.. Cummins love the out-of-
doors-riding, swimming, etc.
Their honeymoon, in fact, has
included a long motor trip
through the mountains of Vir-
ginia, camping by the roadside,
fishing, and swimming. Length
of acquaintanceship is not i'm
portant. She and her husband,
she points out, have known each
other only few months
But 1 don't see why that is
so important. After all. if a
couple are really suited to each
other, they ought to know it
from the first"
First and most important, how,
ever, is perfect understanding
Mrs. Cummins believes that the
majority of the marriages she has
seen wrecked in the courts could
have been saved if the man and
wife had understood each other

NAVAL ACCORD

Political Achievement Is
Great, Henderson Tells
British Commons.

By United Press
LONDON, March 4.-The ''politi-
cal achievements" Of the naval &C.
cord reached last week at Paris and
Rome were more important than
any limitation on naval arms, Ar
thur Henderson, foreign secretary,
told the house Of commons today.
Henderson was greeted with cheers
from the Laborite benches, but the
Conservatives remained silent, de-
spite the Gliding Of Laborites.
The foreign secretary said he ex-
pected A. v. Alexander, first lord Of
the admiralty who accompanied him
to the French and italian capitals,
would reveal details Of the agree
ments in debate next week on the
naval estimates.
II went to Paris and Rome with
a view to the possibility Of further
increase in naval ornaments, If an
agreement was not reached soon, "
Henderson told the house Of COM
mons. II was convinced that sue
cess could be achieved only through
personal contacts among the lead
ing ministers Of both countries.
The outstanding feature Of the
negotiations, irrespective Of any
limitation imposed on the construc-
ton Of new warshipS, is the political
achievement.

Hopes Of the Republican senate
to put the Democratic house "in a
hole" on the anti-lynching bill were
quaShed Tuesday when, without a
dissenting voice, the senate amend

The amendments inserted by the

contained in the bill as originally
introduced by Representatives Ches-
ter K. Watson Dem., Allen and
Whitley and Fred Galloway lDen.,

They provide that the family of
the lynched person may recover
damages not to exceed $4,000 nor
less than 1000 from the county, city

suit of the mob action, may recover

APPLIANCE SALE
BILL ADVANCED
Utilities Control : Measure
Goes TO House.

Utility corporations would be pro-
hibited from selling appliances
under provisions of the Dennigan
bill which passed the Indiana
senate Tuesday by vote Of 26 to IS,
and was sent to the house.
According to the author Of the
bill, Senator William P. Dennigan
(Dem., DaviesS and Knox, this
legislation is demanded by retail
merchants of the state who are be-
ing driven from the field of ap-
pliance sales by alleged unfair COM
petition" of utilities.
Dennigan used the dumping Of
Russian wheat into the American
market as a case in point to
illustrate why his bill should be
supported.
Utilities can sell appliances at
cost and make up the loss through
increased use Of their electricity, gas
or water at guaranteed rates." the
senator charged. This is unfair
competition just as much as the
Russian wheat that is produced with
slave labor. Steps must be taken
to save the merchants from destruc-
ton"
Senator James J. Nejdl (Rep.,
Lake. declared that such measure
in restraint of trade probably
would be declared unconstitutional
and this view was supported by
Senator John c. German Dem,
Gibson and Pike. The latter de-
clared that gas appliances only
could be purchased in many places
through the utilities.
Senator Harry K. Cuthbertson
(Rep., Howard and Miarni) also
spoke against passage.

so Years Ago
In Legislature



Establishment of a state public
health commission was provided
in a bill that passed both houses
Of the 1881 session of the state
legislature. It's passage was con-
tested bitterly by opponents who
argued that the tax burden upon
the residents Of the state would
be increased heavily. Proponents
commended that the state was Of
sufficient size to warrant creation
Of commission to prescribe and
enforce laws for the protection of
public health.
AS an attempt to minimize the
number Of railroad grade crossing
accidents the legislature passed an
amendment to the "whiStling law"
which required engineers to sound
train whistles at least twice when
the trains were between eighty
and 100 feet from all crossings,
and to ring the bell continuously
from the time of sounding the
whistle until the crossing was
passed.

By United Press
CHICAGO, March 4.-Suit over
the $1,000 900 estate Of the late
George w. Longley, Chicago hat
manufacturer. provoked nationwide
discussion and alarm today over the
question: Can blue-eyed parents
have brown-eyed children?
Letters are arriving from all parts
OF the country.
Brown-eyed George Adair Long
ley is seeking to prove that by
scientific laws of inheritance he
could have been the child of George
w. Longley and his first wife, both
of whom were blue-eyed.
This contention was denied by the
manufacturer third wife, Mrs.
Mary Caroline Longley, present
beneficiary of the estate, who says
George Adair Longley is the brother
Of the first Mrs. Longley, whom the
manufacturer divorced.
The letters, most Of them adj
dressed to Judge Michael Feinberg,
cautioned the judge to remember
that his decision might cast asper-
sionS on the legitimacy of many
azure-eyed children Of brown-eyed
parents.
Professor Horatio Hackett New
man Of the University of Chicago
zoology department testified Tues
day that not only could blue-eyed
parents have brown-eyed children,
but that he could introduce such
a family in the courtroom.
He disiilusioned the spectators
by adding that most blue eyes con-
tanned brown fermentation. He
admitted that parents whose eyes
contained no brown pigmentation,
likely would have blue-eyed chill
