Heavy Earthquake
 at Georgetown Was Registered

Washington, Sept 25-(UP)- A severe earthquake was registered on the Georgetown University seis- mograph to-day, beginning at 1:19 a. m. and continuing until after a. m.
 The disturbance, according to Rev Fr O'Connor of the George town observatory, was about 5000 miles distant. probably in China. He said the shock was the severest recorded in some time, much more severe than that which recently shook Japan.

THRU THE NEEDLES EYE

Oakland Civic Club members are
doing a very fine and commendable
piece of work in making dresses and
other necessary garments for school
children of the county who are in need
of such comforts. ,:;sf$., -.
Although this community is not as
destitute as Morgantown and vicinity
where over 300 families are in dire
want, yet there are many who need
clothing, especially the children who
go to school with not sufficient on
their bodies to keep out the cold and
dampness. Another contributing
cause to their unfortunate estate is
undernourishment, but this condition
is being overcome to some extent by
the furnishing of milk, free of charge,
to those who need and require it.
The Civic Club is asking for mater
ial and assistance from other women
of the town who are not members of
the organization, and it is being urged
that all who can give a few hours of
their time in helping the needy.

question and those statesmen who
scan the political skies will do well to
remember that in the end it is the
people who are the arbiters of politi-
cal destiny.
There is one great difficulty with
extraordinary sessions-they usually
turn out to be more of the same.
Anonymous attempts at smearing
the Federal Farm Board at least had
the merit of giving employment to
someone who had very little to do.
Raids upon the treasury constitute
just one more way of being generous
with other peoples money.
The magnificent new government
buildings in Washington and through
out the country will some day be
pointed out as monuments to Presi-
dent who found work for the unem-
ployed where no work was to be
found.
Amid the general criticism now be-
ing directed at Congress it must be
remembered that there are honorable,
sincere, and able members in both
Houses-but it is the fellow who
wants to bust things wide open who
gets the black headlines.

Human rights should be placed
above property rights, we are told by
a prominent professor. But just what
does he mean? In the United States
the individual is permitted to possess
and enjoy the fruits of his labor to as
great a degree as anywhere else in
the world. That fact doesn't seem to
interfere with his human rights. In
Russia, on the other hand, there is
very little if any protection of prop
erty rights. The individual there who
has had to surrender his property, his
earnings and all his accumulations, is
virtually slave to the state. The
peasant and working man of Russia
today could tell us from their own ex-
periences that property rights are
quite essential to human rights.

BUGLES SOUND REVILLE-

With their neat-looking uniforms,
snappy drum music and thrilling bu-
gle notes, the American Legion Drum
corps, after only five months since
their first practice, appeared on the
streets of Oakland Monday night for
their initial public parade, or what
might be called their reville party.
Of course, the unit did not sound
perfect-nobody expected it. People
expected to hear something rather
mediocre, but they got better than
that. The entire corps performed in
excellent fashion. The military bear
ing, the perfect timing of the drum
beats and the blare of the bugles
showed the earnestness which the
members had put forth to make this
occasion possible.
Monday evening was only the first.
Just wait few more weeks. The
members haven't promised anything
startling in improvement, but judging
the future by the past, they'll pack a
lot of surprises.
And what striking advertisement
for Oakland the corps is going to be
during the next few years!

THE POLITICAL WHEELS OF

Washington, Feb. 17--During the
past eighteen months the people of
the country have taken an unusually

no reason to believe that there inter-

1882. Undoubtedly the public that
has watched with mingled emotions

A recent letter to the editor of The
Republican, which was not published,
contained the statement that if the
children were made to continue in
school for ten months and not be al
lowed to work at home, that there
"would be more profit in raising hogs
than children"
The Republican suggests that peo-
pie with these ideas and with such
high ideals of humanity be compelled
to confine themselves to the raising OF
hogs and let the other job up to ones
who can see over the top of the pig
pen.

A sure way to keep up this depres-
sion or make it worse is for some of
the local merchants and business men
to continue their petty methods of
cutting each others threats, instead
of uniting against their common COM
petitor.
That has been said before. The
statement this time will probably do
as much good as the former one

A Letter From Former Senator
Naylor Respecting the Pro-
posed Change in Park Affairs

Mr.. H. V. Leighton, member OF
the Annual Committee of the Noun
tain Lake Park Association, has re-
quested The Republican to give pub
licity to the following letter recently
received by him from former Senator
A. D. Naylor, now at Sebring, Flor
ida:
Mr.. H. V. Leighton,
Mt. Lake Park, Maryland.
My dear Mr.. Leighton:
noticed in The Republican paper
that the residents of Mt. Lake Park
are considering petitioning the Legis-
lature for a new charter and that
there has been a committee appoin-
ted by the winter residents, also a
committee representing the Associa-
ton of which you have been appoin-
ted member.
Personally, am very sorry this
same thing has to come up again. l
fear that it will be the means of des-
troying the hen that lays the golden
egg in that it will do away with the
Association. I have no financial in
terest in the Association except that
l contributed towards helping the
new Association acquire the property
from the old Association and l think
1 was the second largest contributor,
yet have no regrets on that line.
know that the Association is not
making money and all they spend in
the Park each year is a big asset to
those who stay there the year round,
as well as to the hotels, boarding
houses, and merchants in the Park
and in Oakland. 1 do not think it
fair to the summer people who
bought property under the old charter
to make change. AS it is, Mountain
Lake Park has done more for the
county than any other summer resort
in or near Garrett county, under their
present charter.
Oakland, Deer Park, Loeb Lynn,
Brookside and Aurora were all great
summer resorts at one time. Today
they are things of the past as far as
resorts are concerned. Mt. Lake is
the only place that has made any eff
fort to induce people to come there
for the summer. They pay their
superintendent and make special eff
fort to bring people to the Park. Sup
pose they quit, we will all feel the
effects very much. If they want to
sell their property to other individu-
ais, they certainly can sell to a great
err advantage under the old charter
than under the new one, as proposed,
in which they will have little or no
consideration.
Today there is every inducement
offered to manufacturers to locate in
town. They are offered sites and
exemptions from taxation just to
nave LucIlL lOCdI6 CGIIdlu S6CtlOuS
because it is an asset to that COM
munity.
I feel the same towards the Mt.
Lake Park Association. l feel that
they are big asset to Garrett county
even if they were not asked to pay
one cent of taxes. 1 do not know just
how you will feel about asking for a
new charter for the Park. You are a
good business man and 1 think you
should consider this matter we'll and
talk it over with others in the Park
who are interested. Sometimes peo-
pie go ahead with a proposition of
this kind without thinking of the far
reaching results and are mostly sor7
ry afterwards.
would like to hear what you think
concerning the proposition. l am

When it comes time to dress up,

too find a decoration any more
elaborate than that.

that hang straight from the Shout

A DVOCATES of great standing
"A armies and the mailed fist are
invited to turn their eyes upon
Germany.
Fifteen years ago here was a
land whose embattled hosts in
gaudy uniforms and shining he'll
NETS were the adminiration, if not
the envy, of a world. Militarism
was rampant within her borders.
Although her citizens were peace
fully inclined, her statesmen be-
lieved that nothing could conquer
her spirit or dim her glory.
Yet today their land is torn
with internal dissessions, and so
heavily in debt that there is lit
tie hope for economic stability for
the future unless other nations
come to her aid. Revolution and
hunger, want and woe, stalk her
villages and render her people
desolate. The forces of Com
munism are approaching her Dor
ders with ominous .sureness.
Whether or not Germany was
responsible for the World war,
one thing is sure; She was well
prepared for it.
A ND all her parades he led
N to this bitter year of 1881.
Her Big Berthas. her zeppelins,
her poison gas, her guns have
spelled her doom. Her gallant
Richtofens rallied their air fleets
that the fatherland should face
this fate. Her faithful sons who
died have spilled their blood in
vain.
Tor Germany with all her mill
tarv preparations of two decades
ago is in a worse plight than she
has been for several centuries. A
great nation, with learned scien-
fists. musicians, writer's and hum
bic men and women who titled the
soil and lived simple, godly lives,
has been offered as a sacrifice to
the theory that men live by the
sword. She, like so many others,
has suffered from raucous patrio-
tism of the iron handed few who
taught that might is right and
ever besought more power. The
story of Germany during the
twentieth century is but another
indictment against the military
idea. Her history has been writ
ten in blood, and the sequel is the
sure and inevitable defeat that
follows after too many battles.

One THING WOMEN
DON'T TALK ABOUT

Feminine hygiene is rather too
personal a matter for women to
talk over; but in the case of Zemo,
an exception must have been made.
Woman after woman is taking up
zeno for this intimate function
and one must have told another how
wonderfully soothing, safe and ef-
fective it is. For until now Zemo
has never before been advertised for
the vaginal douche. Even the odor of
zemo is pleasant and refreshing. It
is a powerful germicide, but can not
harm the most delicate tissues. You
can get the liquid zemo at any
