This is conspicuously true as regards
the Eastern Shore. The Salisbury mob
was content with the execution of the
victim. The Princess Anne mob did
not stop with that. The victim was
dragged while still alive until his clio
thes were ripped off and much of his
skin with the clothes. Then, after he
was dead, the mob demanded rrisly
souvenirs-the rope was cut in pieces
and ONE young fellow was seen RUM
ing a'cund in wild excitement, waving
an ear
Obviously, Maryland lynchings are
taking the usual course, in going from
bad to worse. Would you know what
is ahead? Then listen to some account
of what lynching has come to in other
places and see what is undoubtedly in
store for the Eastern Shore of Mary
land.
Consider, for instance, the lynching
of Henry Lowry, in Arkansas, in 1921.
The account is taken from Memphis
Of Jan. 81, 1921:
More than 500 persons ssood by and
looked on while the Negro was slowly
burned % a Grip. A few women were
scattered among the crowed"
Remember that at Princess Anne
women paraded by the spot where the
Negroes nude, charred body lay on the
pavement. Maryland is already that
far along the road. To resume the Ark
ansas tale:
with the Negro chained to a log,
members of the mbb placed small pile
of leaves around his feet. Gasoline
was then poured On the leaves and the
carrying out of the death sentence was
under way.
"lncn by inch the Negro fairly cook
ed to death. Every few minutes leaves
were Nossed on the funeral pyre until
the blaze had passed the Negroes waist
Even after flesh had dropped away
from his legs and the flames were leap
ing toward his face, Lowry retained
consiclCusness-One or twice he at
tempted to pick up the hot ashes in
his hands and thrust them into his
mouth in order 10 hasten death.
Each time the ashes were kicked
out of his reach by a member of the
mob"
The Princess Anne mrb cooked the
Nero after he was dead. Perhaps the
next mob will cook one alive. One
wonders if they will also initiate the
Arkansas mob in bringing the victims
wife and little daughter TO the spot to
see him burning.

DRUGGISTS ASKING
FOR 56-HOUR WEEK
Would Limit Operation of
Stores to So Hours-Hear.
Ing Not Set Yet.
By the Associated Press.

A 56-hour work week was proposed
today by the National Association of
Retail Druggists in code Of fair COM
petition submitted to the Recovery Ad-
ministration.
Hours of operation of stores would be
limited to 81 hours per week unless
operation hours were less than So be-
fore July !, 1888.
The maximum hours would not apply
to drug stores employing not more than
two persons in towns of less than $500
population. which are not part Of
larger trading area. Registered pharma-
cists and executive employees would be
excepted from the 56-hour week of other
employees.
Minimum wages of SIS week in the
North and sl4 week in the South
in cities of 500 900 population and over
we're proposed. In cities between 100000
and 500 900 the minimum would drop
to $14.50 in the North and $3.50 in
the South becoming, in communities
between $500 and $50 900 of population
S14 and Sl3, respectively.
In towns of less than $500 popula-
ton the druggists proposed to increase
all wages by not less than 20 per cent
provided such increase does not exceed
s12 a week
In making public terms Of the pro-
posed code the Recovery Administra-
tion said
The code of fair competition of the
National Association of Retail Drug
gists In its present form merely reflects
the proposal Of that industry None of
its provisions have yet been approved
by the National Recovery Adminltra-
ton. A date has not yet been an
nounced for the holding Of a public

that the threat of imitation has brought
results according to Hoyle. 1t has Gre

they can stop 1t at the proper time and
then stabilize the dollar, which means
stabilizing average prices. Granting
for the sake Of argument, that these
