:. ploYes' Alliance appeals
/ to Johnson.
~

Il, An appeal to Gen. Hugh s. john
son to name Maj. Raymond J. Walter
the full-f1edged director of compliance
for the District went out today from
the headquarters of the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees Alliance.
The group requested that Walter,
who now has the designation of spe-
cial assistant to the recovery admin
istrator, be given full authority to deal
With "chiselers" and code evaders who
are forcing those who are living up
to the code provisions to become
chiselers themselves"
In letter signed by Charles E.
Sands, secretary, the alliance says:
I'VE believe that he (Maj. Walter)
should have definite official appoint
ment as District compliance director
and that he should be allowed a per-
sonnel Of inspectors that would be
equal in number to the Set-up in some
OF the smaller States. When you take
into consideration that the District
pays into the United States Treasury
more money than some 25 States. we
cannot see why we should not have
q set-up for enforcement equal to
those States"
Meanwhile, Maj. Walter stressed
the urgency for complying with the
N. r. A. regulations that employers
make application through their local
code authority for notices of wage
and hour provisions. This. he said,
must be done before April IA and the
notices will be made available for
posting as soon thereafter as the
N. r. A. provides them.
The Retail Code Authority for the
District has sent application forms for
these notices to more than 1000 re-
tailers, and many of these have been
returned. This authority also has
taken steps to register establishments
coming under the retail code and COL
lect the assessment fee of 81 per en-
ploye from each, as provided in the
retail code. This fund is to pay for
maintenance of the code authority
charged with the duty of supervising
the self-government Of business.

it did; but the songs "Dixie" and
"Swanee River" originated in the South.
Today they are national. Every Presi-
dent since Buchanan has proclaimed
Thursday, usually the last, in November
as Thanksgiving day.
This same historian records that once
Washington failed to have an official
Thanksgiving day, because the feast
somehow got tangled up with politics.
That was in 1859, after the custom had
been established here for IA years. The
City Councillor we had local popular
government them-refused to issue the
proclamation, apparently because the
said council was dominated by good
Southern people, who at that time
thought very little of New England and
considered Thanksgiving day New Eng
land custom. James G. Berret was
mayor of the city at the time and he
went ahead and issued proclamation of
his own. It was said the mayors action
was taken under the pressure of public
opinion" At least, that is the way it
was reported by The Evening Star of
that day. 1t is pretty safe guess that
the squabble between the City Council
and the mayor (or was it the council
and the public?) did not prevent any,
body who wished from having the
usual Thanksgiving day dinner that
year, following services in the churches.
President George Washington began
the Matchmaking of the custom by ap-
pointing by proclamation a day Of
Thanksgiving on Thursday, November

come from the farms of Maryland and
Virginia, and the pumpkins, too. The
other parts of the meal these days may
come from almost anywhere.
For instance, who ever heard of turkey
stuffing not seasoned with sage? Well,
have the authority of one of the officers
of a great chain of Washington grocery
stores that the principal source OF our
sage is Dalmatia, little country on the
Balkan Peninsula washed by the waters
of the beautiful Adriatic Sea, and which
since 1918 has been a part OF Yugo-
slavia. In olden times cider used to
be the proper beverage for Thanksgiving
day, but of late something with more
authority" will probably be more popu-
lar and entirely legal on many tables,
and goodness knows where that will
come from.
Nearby farmers, wholesalers, grocery
men and cooks-everybody who has any,
thing to do with food-has been getting
ready for this festival. Food, or fodder"
as the good Old English has it, has been
coming into Washington from far and
near in great quantities for some days,
including particularly the Thanksgiving
day kinds. It has been arriving by train
load and truckload, and many private
automobile, whose owner has relatives or
friends in Maryland or Virginia, has
been raiding the pumpkin patch and
the farm barnyard.
Prof. Dry-as-Dust, the eminent his
torian, tells US that this great American
day originated In New England: Maybe

ceased to think about the wonder of it.
our home tables and those of the restau-
rants carry quantities of food produced
principally right near at hand. That is
Thanksgiving day, which has been
national holiday for some IS years by
proclamations of Presidents of the
United States.
For the first Thanksgiving day dinners
in this country the food came altogether
from our own farms, or our neighbor'S,
but as time went on little delicacies and
seasonings were added, first from other
parts Of our own land and then from
distant lands.
But nothing has disturbed the posi-
ton Of the chief article on most Thanks
giving day menus, the turkey, a native
bird for which some persons have claimed
a greater right to be our national bird
than the American eagle. OF course,
many very fine dinners on this feast day
are built around something else, as for
instance, roast chicken, duck or a fine
young pig cooked whole and served on
the table that way, too. But, neverthe-
less, Thanksgiving day and turkey con-
tinue to be almost synonymous in the
minds of the American people
DELICIOUS services of thanks are
- never forgotten on this day by the
churches, but many persons who never,
or seldom, 60 to church still have their
Thanksgiving day dinner and family re-
union and they would never even think
of missing it, even though they may not
know why.
For Washington plans were made long
ahead of time to meet the demand for
turkeys with all the materials for stuff
ing and the "fixin's," such as cranberry
sauce, celery, mashed potatoes, pumpkin
pie, one or two Fall vegetables, nuts,
fruit and sweetmeats. Except for the
very fancy birds, most of the turkeys

26, 1889, to be observed by every loyal
American, and it is not recorded, even
by Prof Dry-as-Dust. that anybody ever
accused George Washington of being
New Englander.
ESSENTIALLY the day is one of thanks
for the successful gathering in OF
the harvest. Hence the selection of
day in November. 1t just happened to
get started on Thursday, and the custom
has been kept up, until it would seem
mighty strange to have Thanksgiving
day on Wednesday or any other day Of
the week now.
There is no reason in the world why
anybody, even though he may not like
the things the New England Puritans
stood for and did, should find fault with
Thanksgiving day, for it was many CEN
turies old as an official custom long
Old England. The Romans-to 60 back
just little way-in classic times used
to decree public days of thanksgiving,
instead of "triumphs," when there was
no special political or military reason
for the latter. Porcius Cato, in letter
to Cicero remarks: That thankSgiv-
ing was decreed. I am glad, if you
prefer our thanking the gods rather
than giving you credit for success
which has been in no respect left to
chance, but has been secured to the
republic by your own eminent prudence
and self-control."
It seems that Cicero had succeeded
in pacifying one of Rome's wide-dung
possessions without the use of big
army and the republic was duly grateful.
The letter was sent to Cicero in Cilicia.
Scotland's great and much-loved poet.
Robert Burns, did not think much OF
thanksgivings for military successes.
One of his short verses is entitled
Thanksgiving for National Victory"
and runs as follows:
"Ye hypocritesl Are these your pranks?
To murder men and gipe God thanks!
Desist for shame-proceed no further;
God pon't accept your thanks for murther!"
That noble bird, the turkey, which is
50 closely associated with Thanksgiving
day in the United States, was unknown

DOCTORS CAR AND COWBOY OCCUPANT DON'T MIX 50
POLICEMAN RECEIVERS STOLEN AUTO AND NABS 2 MEN

Maryland House of Correction. Car
man proved to the Court satisfaction
that he was unaware that the car had
been stolen and that he was a victim
of circumstances.
1t was brought out in the testimony
that Zelda had asked Carman to ac-
company him to Vindex. Reaching
Vindex they decided to go on to Bal
timore and would have reached there
had they not stopped to pawn the
tools in Hagerstown. Zelda is said to
have told Carman that he had traded
another car for the Ford he was driv-
ing and it was not until they were APP
preached by policeman that Carman
suspected that all was not right with
the world, and that the automobile
in which they were riding might be a
"hot car" (Stolen car to you law
abiding citizens).
At the conclusion of the hearing
States Attorney Walter w. Dawson
invited Carman to return to his home
at Blackstone, Va, and not to return
to Garrett county.
Carman, however, stated he would
register here and stay. Which means
that there may be another arrest in a
few days on charge of vagrancy,
should Carman not accept the States
Attorneys advice.
The theft of the automobile was
Felda's second offense in this county,
he having been sentenced by Justice
George j. Poole, of Kitzmiller, to six
months in the House of Correction
several months ago. Zelda has also
served a term in the West Virginia
penitentiary for similar offense in
that State. Zelda was released from
the Maryland institution in Novem-
Der of last year.
Carman served five years in the
House of Correction following his con-
viction on a burglary charge in Bal
timore City. He was released in De-
cember and said he came to this
county to visit J. B. King, whom he
had met while confined in the insti-
tuition.

George Zelda Pleads Guilty To
Charge and Is Sentenced To 2
Years in House of Correction
FIND CARMAN NOT GUILTY

Two young men stepped from a
Ford coupe in Hagerstown to do a
little pawning. They were short on
gas and even shorter on money and
were willing to part with the tools in
the car in order to be on the road and
going again.
One was dressed in true western
style-ten gallon hat, studded belt,
high top shoes and a yellow shirt
trimmed in purple. The other wore
ordinary clothes.
Returning to the car, they were
met by policeman.
(Which of you two is the doctor?"
he asked and George Zelda and Daniel
Carman looked at each other in much
surprise. The expression on their
faces told the cop enough.
"Well, you got a doctors emblem
on your car" he continued. Lets
see your card"
And thus DR.. N. l. Broadwater's
car, which was stolen from in front
of the Court House in Oakland about
500 o'clock Thursday night, was re-
covered the next morning, and the oc-
cupants arrested for the unauthorized
use of an automobile. Police in the
State had been notified the previous
evening by Garrett county officials to
be on the lookout for the stolen ma
chine.
The Sheriff's office in Oakland was
notified by Hagerstown officers i'm
mediately after the car had been re-
covered and arrests made. Deputy
Sheriff Spear went to Hagerstown and
brought the men and the stolen car
back to Oakland Friday evening.
At the hearing before Justice Chas.
F. White yesterday afternoon Zelda
plead guilty to the charge and was
sentenced to serve two years in the
