this season and little wonder, for they
are of excellent quality and low in
price. Apples also are attractive in
quality and price and how good they
are eaten raw or cooked. You will
want plenty of them for Halloween.

of green vegetables though several
of them belong to the same family in

LYNCH NEGRO
IN MARYLAND
Victim Badly Beaten Before
Hanging Occurs Next TO
Home of Judge
BODY BURNED IN TOWN

a negro accused Of attacking
an aged white farm woman was
dragged from the Somerset coun-
ty jail Wednesday night by mob
Of more than a thousand men,
women and children ard was
lynched He was hanged to an
oak tree just outside Of Princess
Anne, Md, after the mob had
stripped him of his clothing, at
tached rope around his neck,
and pulled him behind an automo-
bile through the main streets of
the town. AS the mob made its
slow progress toward the scene of
the hanging, various members
leaped at the negro, screaming
and cursing, and repeatedly
knocked him down. He apparent
ly was dead when the crowd fin
ally reached the oak tree.
Body BURNED in Public Square
Later, the body was cut down
and was taken to the public
square where is was burned. The
rope was cut into small pieces and
distributed among members of the
mob as souvenirs. The negro
George Armwood, was accused of
attacking Mrs. Mary Denston, an
81-year-old woman, as she return
ed to her home Monday of last
week after spending the night
with her daughter. He was
brought to Princess Anne early
Wednesday from Baltimore where
he was taken Monday night for
safe keeping. County authorities
informed the Governor Tuesday
there would be no trouble and re-
iterated this belief Wednesday af-
ternoon in the face of rumors that
a mob would attempt to seize the
negro.
Eight Policemen Injured
In breaking into the jail, the
mob overpowered a detail of 25
State police who had been sent to
Princess Anne to Guard Armwood. !
Eight policemen were injured. suf-
fering cuts and bruises on their
heads from bricks and stones hurl- |
ed at them by members of the |
mob. The hanging occurred next
to the home of Judge Robert T.
Duer, who had attempted to dis
suade the crowd early Wednesday |
might when it first formed at the |
Jail. The crowd, apparently in
censed at the judges remarks,
first went to the judges home but
moved to the neighboring house
when they were unable to find a
tree sufficiently large. The march
to the final scene of the hanging
was wild in extreme The mob I
members seemed crazed, continu- T
ally leaping on the negro, even af-
ter he fell to the ground and was
unable to rise. One 10y, appar-
emily about Is years of age, slash
ed the Negroes ear almost off with
a knife. Under the oak tree, de-
spite the presence of women and
all the negro's clothes
were torn from his body and he
hung there for some minutes nude.
After they had taken the negro to
the public square and burned him,
the mob members disbanded.
White Man Rushed To Baltimore
In the meantime, John Richard
son, white man who was under
arrest charged with being an ac-
cessory after the fact in the as
sault on the farm woman, was
taken from the jail by officers and
was started for Baltimore. He
was accused Of taking the negro
away from the vicinity of the al
eyed assault and transporting

county. Threats made by the

Milady's Motoring
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL

Taking all the usual precautions
against striking a pedestrian appears to
consist Of blowing the horn and cussing
him.
Believe it or let is pass, woman
started the quest that ended in the de-
velopment of self-starters for our cars.
As the story goes, close friend OF
Henry NJ Leland, one Of the pioneers
of motordom, saw a woman trying to
crank her car and offered to help her.
Grasping the crank he tried to spin
the motor, only to have the handle
strike him in the jaw when the motor
backnred. They had forgotten to re-
tard the spark. The injury proved
fatal
Leland told this story to Charles F.
Kettering. A year later the young in
ventor returned to Detroit with an elec-
trio self-starter. Few of us realize to-
day how much suffering it has saved,
not to mention the service it has rem
dered in helping drivers get out Of the
way of danger when the motor stalls.
You may be interested to know why
It is not necessary with modern cars TO
retard the spark for cranking. The
answer lies in the development of what
Is known as automatic spark advance.
When your motor is cranking Gf it Is
the average carr the spark is not as
fully advanced as it Is when the motor
is speeded up. Further retarding OF
the spark during cranking would slow
down rather than speed up the process.
Sometimes it pays to know the
methods of prankish children. Take
as an example the woman who heard
the engine go dead after she had
driven about block from home. Jump
ing out she walked around to the rear
and found just what she expected
q piece of chewing gum stuck over the
vent hole Of the gasoline tank cap.
Some mischievous youngster had learned
that If the vent is plugged the fuel
pump cannot draw gas to the car
buretor. But milady was also In on
the secret.
Speaking of gas tank caps reminds
me to suggest that you look over the
one on your car after the car comes
from the paint shop. You may also
be interested to know that you now
can buy a cap that locks on with a
key. Prevents people from stealing
your gas.
Women especially should be inter-
ested in the announcement that new
tube has been developed which main
tains a constant air pressure. Ordinary
tubes loose from two to five pounds of
air q week because of seepage Of air
through the millions of minute pores

in the rubber The new tube is coated

If the motor seems little noisy
after the valves have been ground con-
slider this as part Of the job and don't
go back to the service station until
you have put several hundred miles
on the odometer. Tappet clearances
should be fairly liberal after this
sort of work, so that the valve can
a precautionary measure, too. After
the cylinder head has been removed
there Is always chance Of water leak
age. Should water be lost after the
car comes out of the shop, and the
motor become overheated, the extra
clearance at the tappets will come in
handy as a safeguard against having
the valve stems expand too much and
the valves hold open and burn.
Watching woman park her car on
a parking lot the other day, noticed
that she went merely half way in
guarding against having the doors
scratched. Drawing up beside another
machine. she carefully opened the door
Of her car to make sure 1t wouldn't
far so good. But she failed to note
that the other car was a coach model
with an extremely wide door that would
be very apt to swing open into the
side Of her car when its owner re-
turned.
A smart note In interior decorations
is the braided silk toggle grip. It would
surprise you to price pair Of these
at your service station. They not only
dress up the tonneau, but are extremely
useful in helping passengers pull out
Of the modern low seat cushion.
If friend husband has been making
it habit to come In from the garage
and wipe his greasy hands on the
kitchen towel remind him that the ac-
cessory market now holds q new gadget
to obviate just this sort Of nuisance.
1t Is a special cabinet for towels. The
cabinet fits under the dash, where 1t
is out Of sight, but not out Of mind
Each one contains SO interfolded white
paper towels which are so made as
to be soft and absorbent. They have
what is known as wet strength, are
washable and can be used like chamois.
A woman who purchased one of the
swanky chromium plated cabinets finds
that the towels are useful in wiping
the headlights, windshield, oil gauge
and rear window. She has used them
for picnic napkins, for handkerchiefs
and for wiping the car dry after q
rainstorm. There are no more grease
stained hand towels In her household.
A newcomer at the wheel complains
Of difficulty in cutting the front wheels
when parking the car or when putting
it away in the garage. I watched her
maneuvering the car and found that
the trouble Is due to her failure to
trying to swing the wheels. 1t always
increases the task to try to turn the
steering wheel when the car is stand
ing stock still.
