ton indicates that not only do
officials of Washington rail-
roads believe that the present
boom in passenger business is
here to stay, but that they an
ticipated the change and acted
accordingly.
This anticipation is shown by
the fact that the lines serving
the National Capital replaced
their soliciting representatives

stirring events in the early history
of the country are recorded by 1t.
Col. Edwin N. Mcclellan, of the
Marine Corps, who is writing a his
tory of the soldiers of the sea.
One of the first of these episodes
was the fight of the Marylanders for
the possession of Kent Island, which
was held by william Claiborne, Of
Virginia, in 1885, and whose pres
ence there was the cause of several
naval battles between American
Maritime Soldiers" in that vicinity.
Trouble with Spain in tie New
World led to the formation Of what
were known as Gooch's or Spot
woods Marines in 1740, composed
of men from several of the State
Navies. Maryland contributed three
companies to this organization, and
there is evidence to show that they
fought under the British Admiral
Vernon in the West Indies In 1741.
In March, 1916, the British ship
"Otter" made demonstration with
boats on the Patapsco, alarming the
citizens of Baltimore, until marines

CHEVROLET factories are breaking
~ records, trying to give America all
the cars it wants. 1000 units a day are
rolling off the assembly lines. February
output was twice that of January. March
output. according to present indications,
will be three times that of January. More
Chevrolets are now being produced than
any other make of automobile in the world.
And today, Chevrolet is happy to report
that all its dealers will soon be in posi-
ton to make immediate deliveries.
When you consider how short time the
new Chevrolet has been in production
when you consider, also, that the 1884 car
is not last years model improved, but
basically new automobile, with sweeping
changes in design-this production record
becomes somewhat of an accomplishment.
But, a still greater accomplishment, in our
opinion, is the tUay that these cars haze all
been produced!
Despite continued nationwide pressure
for more and more volume, every car that
has left the factories has been built and
tested to meet Chevrolet's highest stand
ards of care, precision and quality. The
result: When you place your order for
new Chevrolet, you'll not only get big,
rugged "Knee-Action'' car-you're also
assured of getting a typical Chevrolet car
in economy, dependability and long life.

It must be Is or 20 years since there
has been good, thorough spy scare in
this country. In the Summer of 1917
when the East Teabone Home Guards
were drilling on the court house lawn
every Friday evening-just in case-Aunt
Eulalie organized corps of lady vigi-
lantes to track down any foreign agents
that might be lurking in the neigh

Sensing plot to blow up the railroad
bridge, the ladies descended upon pair
of peaceful hoboes who were camping
beneath it, and confiscated their kettle
of mulligan stew on the ground that it
looked like bomb. Upon analysis, the
stew was found to contain a little of
almost everything, but no trace of nitro
glycerin or INT. So the hoboes were
sent muttering on their way. But Aunt
Eulalie felt that feminine intuition was
vindicated when subsequent examina-
ton revealed the sinister legend, made

were aroused again by mysterious chalk
