 Dictionary No Authority
 Is the. druggist critic quite sure we must say phenold and not car-. bolic acid? The dictionary says phenol occurs in crystalline needles forming with a small quantity or water a perfect solution known as carbolic acid (E. w. R.) Answer-Yest, the druggist Is right. The dictionary is not a scien- tific authority. Phenol is phenol, no matter whether in crystalline needles or in solution in water.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris, (UP)-Winter and the wardrobe might read like a version of Beauty and the Beast. Winter nearly always has it's beastly mo- ments and there is no doubt about the 1894 wardrobe being a perfect beauty.
 With the oncoming of cold days there is no denying that the eye of fashion is slanting ever and more definitely eastward. To be in the deepest water, both socially and fashionably, you must have something that is redolent of the Asiatic. Perhaps a suit with a coat that is tunic length and bordere1 with fur or belted in a chic mill itary manner with a very ol- dierly collar. The Cossack, is what we mean, and the ensefn- ble topped with high round Rus- sian toque and footnote added of jaunty Russian boots.
 With Russia in the League of Nations, her welcome must not be neglected even from 3 fashion point of view. The Russian boots, incidentally, call for the skirt to be ever so slightly shorter than for your other things. This also balances the high hat, the fiared tunic coat and gives you the proper proportion for the. boots. The boots are not exaggerated. They mere- ly suggest without going the whole way. And they are of leather as supple as silk; fit the foot like a glove and are usually in the rich fall and winter shades of brown. green rust and maroon.
 Gloves, too, have the Asiatic influence - gauntlet cuffs with or without fur-and are sometimes elaborately embroidered in gold and silver and studded with semi precious stones.

BOOTLEG LIQUOR
DRIVE PLANNED
4-Point Federal Offensive
Outlined to Check Flow
of Illicit Spirits.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Frankly concerned over the con-
tinued flow of Illicit liquor. the Federal
Alcohol Control Administration Is
planning a four-point offensive against
the bootlegger.
Oficials have noted the compara-
lively small tax returns from liquor
as compared with beer. They are
preparing an expanded drive and viii
carry their case before Congress.
The steps favored by leaders OF the
Alcohol Control Administration in
clude:
/. Reduction of Federal liquor taxes
by the next Congress.
2. Police work like that now being
done by Secretary Morgenthau's alco-
hol tax unit.
3. Publicity to convince the drinker
that buying bootleg is treason"
4. Reduction Of State liquor taxes
and adoption OF more uniform State
liquor regulations.
The Alcohol Control Board itself
may tackle the job of publicizing its
contention that support Of the boot
logger "robs the Treasury" and by
reducing the volume of business for
the legal industry tends to increase
prices of legal liquor.

OUT FOR JUDCESHIP

Franklin Upshur, ESQ.,, Berlin a
prominent member of the Worcester
County Bar has Joined the number of
aspirants for the Associate Judgeship
in the First District, and hereby an
nounces his candidacy.
In a letter to the Democrat, Mr..
Upshur addresses ''the voters of Wor-

expect, and rightfully expect, high
er degree of intelligence, probity and
dignity, tempered with common sense
and an understanding of human ma
ture.
"Although one of the newspapers of
my county of Worcester has hereto

as a possible candidate for the chief

Respectfully submitted,

WOOD N. PAYNE
PUTS AN END
TO HIS LIFE
Hangs Himself To The Rafters
OF His Barn About One
Mile From Town
WAS HIGHLY ESTEEMED
BY. ALL WHO KNEW HIM

The tragic death of Mr.. Wood N.
Payne, IS, living about one mile from
this city, came as a shock to the COM
munity on Monday morning of this
week.
Mr.. Payne had arisen early on the
morning in question to do the work
usually required on a farm and had
returned to the house for breakfast.
Finding the meal not yet ready, he
went back to his work.
AS he did not return in such time
as his wife thought he should, she
went to look for him and found him
hanging by the neck from one of the
rafters in the barn. Calling for help
she soon had assistance in cutting him
down. Medical aid was summoned,
but Mr.. Payne was pronounced dead.
No motive can be ascribed for the
deed 1t is true that, along with a
great many other people, he had felt
the weight of the economic depress-
ion and possibly his health was not
as good as it had been; but to those
who knew him he, apparently had
disposition to triumph over difficult
ties, and the reason for his act was
a problem too weighty to solve. He
was man universally liked. His
reputation for integrity was well de-
served, and his life among men was
such as to mark him a good citizen.
Besides his widow, he is survived
by two sons and one daughter: Basil
o. and johnson N, Of this city; and
Mrs. T. Roy Phillips, of Philadelphia,
Pa.
Funeral services, which were large
ly attended, were held on Tuesday
morning in the M. E. Church; inter-
ment in the cemetery of that denom-
nation. The Independent Order of
Odd Fellows had charge of the SER
vice.

Well, Sir, all these candidates who
are seeking the favor of your vote,
may not be elected, but they have
their vanity tickled anyhow. You
ought to see how his face will light
up when you accost him as Mr.. Sher-
iff; or Mr.. Commissioner; or Judge;
or Mr.. Clerk, or Senator, of Mr.. Any
thing else. They can just see the
ballots pouring from the box in their
favor, and they have their admins
trative programs already made out.
All you got to do is to stroll into
the Parker House some fine evening,
and you can find out just all about
how it's going to turn out. Elections
are furnished there at any time you
place your order, and there are some
political sharks on hand always ready
to bet just who's who after the No
vember election. But I'll venture to
say that the hindsight of some of
these wise-acres will prove to be as
much like their foresight, as the
streets of Pocomoke are like what
they were doing the Era of Mud.
However, the state of their minds
may be excused on the ground of a
similar muddle in state politics. If
anybody knows where we're at, let
him step to the desk and deliver him
self. If the old ship isn't being
tossed about by wind and wave until
it's almost blown entirely out of its
course, then Pm no sailor. But pretty
soon Richie will be at the helm and
she will glide into port as easily and
gracefully as swan disports itself
on the surface of a placid lake.

TOMATO DEVELOPED
In JUST 80 DAYS

Mr.. Merwin Lambertson, brought to
the Democrat" office this week an
unusually we'll developed tomato
grown on his place.
The specimen measured two and
one-half inches in diameter and had
reached its growth in just SO days,
the seed having been sowed on May
l and the fruit was pulled off on June
s. This is somewhat of a curiosity
in the way of tomato culture.
