SPEED CHECKING
SHOULD INTEREST
CITYAUTHORITIES
Widening Of Market Street
Presents Lure To The
Speedy Drivers
REGULATIONS SHOULD
BE MADE FOR ARRESTS

Now that Market street is partly
open to the public, and, in the very
near future, will be finished in its en-
tirety, it would be we'll for the town
authorities to take steps toward reg
ulating the matter of motor vehicle
traffic.
Pocomoke does not seem to be the
only city laboring under disabilities
caused by autos and trucks, as the
following clipping from an Easton
paper will reveal:
"The Easton Police Board met this
week at which time Sergeant Dryden
of the State Police was present, at in
vitation of Mayor Wrightson. The
meeting was primarily called to con-
slider the many complaints that have
been made as to speeding and unnec-
essary noises. There had also been
much complaint about truck violations.
"The Board is very anxious to break
up the several nuisances, some Of
which constitute real danger. Ser
geant Dryden pledged the fullest CO.
operation Of his squad of State Po-
lice. It was determined that a very
rigid watch would be made here in
Easton on many streets and in every
instance of violation of ordinances or
State laws arrest would Immediately
follow. j.
"The Board and the Mayor are CIV
ing warning to three particular classes
xiolators, about whom so much COM
piaiGt has been lodged. ''sE
"First the speeders will be called
to boot. Some Of the main streets Of
the town are race courses to some
drivers. The State Police will arrest
anyone found driving more than twen-
ty miles an hour on any Of the streets
of Easton. This should result in a
hundred or more arrests, until prop
'er observance is enforced.
"The noisy drivers will also be dealt
with. The truck drivers who cut out
their mufflers will also be required to
pay fines when caught. The State law
prohibits the use of trucks or auto
mobiles without mufflers.
"The parking nuisance will be the
third thing the State and town police
will watch. 1t is against the law to
park cars in double rows or in the
middle of the street. Those drivers
who stop out in the middle of the
street while they go into the stores,
or talk on the street, are warned that
they will have to stop this practice.
The warning is given by the Police
Board so that the offenders will be
advised before hand what will happen.
1t seems that the State and town pol
ice mean real business"
Pocomoke has like experiences as
the above, and regulations such as
Easton proposes are good examples
for the local City Council to follow.

"Chirps"
from the
Democrats Pen


vius played a scurvy-a real mean trick
On Uncle Jimmy Cannon last week.
The town was all wet before he got
hare and he had hard job to make
neonle believe it was all dry. Any
how, they didn't test the strength OF
tho M. E. Church walls by crowding
in and the pews were not in danger
of being crushed by eager drys
squeezing in.
Indeed. the size Of the audience re-
minded me Of that article l sent on
to Baltimore paper. Now, am not
as dry as Bishop Cannon is-some
neople may have noticed that, others
NAV not. But still, I thought maybe
I could pick up dime or two by send
ing an account of the noted divlne's
visit. to q Baltimore daily. l think
7 cot about a nickel's worth Of space.
For a long time I couldn't find the
extended (?) notice, but finally,
freed it-or rather, I dug it up at the
bottom of column and just about the
size of the drink I usually take. l
don't think the paper showed much
interest in the appearance OF Uncle
Jimmy down here, and less concern
ing the state, of my exchequer. They
are mean people-those city sheets
noticed the same little old card
and pencil had come to life-sweet
little petitioners for some OF Uncle
Sans legal tender. Blest If l didn't
think those things had gone out OF
print long ago. But repeal has res
directed them, and, for so much, our
friendly enemies should feel thankful.
However, the one I got hold OF con-
tanned pencil that was so small or else
it was stuck so fast in the clasp, l
couldn't sget it. out. Ccnaequently' !
was deferred from helping out the
Anti Saloon League. I might have
contributed what got from my news
paper article, but my little card and
pencil wouldn't work-it was too bad.
Well, Uncle Jimmy said that Pro-
hibition was coming back and would
arrive before he wrapped the dra-
perry of his couch around him and lay
down to pleasant dreams"-provided
he lives as long as his father did. l
don't know just how long his immed-
late ancestorsIingered on these shores,
but he must have been second cousin
to Methuselah, for his immediate de-
scendant to talk like that. I'll wager
it will take as long for Prohibition to
come forth from it's grave clothes as
it would take Uncle Jimmy to get a
hundred or so dollars from Pocomoke
assembly, after the little cards and
pencils had been sent on their collect
ing tours. I don't think an armored
car was necessary to take the receipts
around to the bank for safe keeping
that night.
How-some-ever, his visit didn't dc
us any harm. Lots Of people wanted
to see just what he looked like. He
has been in the public eye for some
time now, but he has not obscured the
vision of this particular part of the
public. Well, they came they saw
and they went away, and I'll venture
to say their pocket books were just
about as heavy as when they entered
the church building. Come again
Uncle Jimmy, amt got anything
agin' We.

The words seemed to leap out at him. There were so sure of him. There was no way out of it, he would just have to sing this after- noon.
 John rose and walked over to his suitcase, gaping on the rugiess floor. He fumbled under a pile of soiled linen, and straightened up, a small automatic in his hand. Funny, he thought, he'd laughed when his uncle had pressed the gun upon him as a protection against them city slikers down there." Well, he could use this | same gun now.
 At 3 o'clock John was sitting tion studio, thanks to the efforts of the sympathetic girl at the switch~ board. Grimly he surveyed the l crowd around him-the successful applicants, their flushed, excited relatives and friends, the green smocked orchestra, men, looking bored.
 Then Johns attention riveted on l the announcer, who was handling the crowd with good-natured con- descension. Looking at the clock 1 over the announcer's head, John saw that five minutes were left of the broadcast. He fumbled in his l pocket, then rose and sautered di- rectly to the announcer.
 You have just heard little Miss Mary Graves" the announcer was saying-then he lifted startled eye brows as John stepped close to him his automatic shielded from tho studio crowd. The expression in Johns eyes left no doubt as to his earnestness, and the announcer grasped at the mike, as though to steady himself. John motioned him away with a nod of his head.
 Turning to face the orchestra, his gun quickly concealed within his coat, John addressed the mike:
 "The next voice you hear will be that of John Prentiss of Colchester, who will sing the prologue to the opera Pagliacci.'"
 The orchester leader gasped in amazement at this highly irregular procedure-and looked inQuiringiy at the announcer, who was edging away from John. The announcer smiled reassuringly, and the pianist tion to the aria.
 
 than he had ever sung before. He knew it.
 He'd be a civic hero now! May- be the mayor would greet him. Probably they'd have parade. He straigntened proudly, and once again addressed the mike, unmind- full of the gathering murmur from the studio crowd.
 That was John Prentiss of Col- chester," he began, then suddenly his heart seemed to rise in his throat and choke him. The little red light at the base of the mikes which indicated that it was func- tioning, was not burning! John lremembered the announcer's grasp ing the mike-sure enough! The switch was pointing to "off."
 A hollow, ribald below of 1augh- ter startled him. He glanced to his right, and saw for the first time the dimly lighted windows of a control room. Three men were in- side-one of them the announcer.
 The announcer's voice boomed through the speaker into the stu- dio:

''We are very sorry, MT Prem tiss. but the record of your audi tion shows that you have fallen short of the standard we have set for the artists who broadcast over this station. Later, perhaps, when you have had more experience or in the event that you can line up manager of WINK, high up in the State building, suddenly seemed preoccupied with the welter of papers, radio magazines and photograph records that filtered his desk.
 Prentiss stood motionless for a moment. the hopeful look in his eyes slowly fading. Bewilderedly he thought, Gan I be hearing right? He couldn't mean :. that I'm no good; that he won't give me at least a chance" Clinch- ing his hat in his hand, he took a step toward the desk.
 "But MT Menzies. I |. ." A cold look swept him and ended at the partly open door. Prentiss forgot what he had started to say: instead he mumbled a nasty, Good afternoon" and strode out the door, not even bothering to close it.
 AS he passed through the outer office he felt that all eyes were upon him, calmly appraising his failure, cataloguing him as "just another one" Doubtless he was only one among countless others who had failed tO mako the grade but somehow he had never thought of himself as one of them"
 Ever since high school days when he had sung nthe school operettas and glee clubs he had cherished an ambition to make his mark some day as singer, and to that end he had bent all his efforts.
 A month ago the executive staff of WINK had announced special additions to select new talent for commercial work. Those who won favorable comment from the judges were to be put on a special broad cast, and later put under the spon- sorship of an advertiser.
 John, reading this in the Col chester Journal, had viewed it as his big chance, and upon the advice of his teacher had obtained a weeks furlough from his job to visit New York, never doubting but that he would be successful. And now, to be turned down!
 The girl at the telephone board stopped him as he was brushing through the gate. "How did 1t go?" She smiled.
