A Salesman's MOnOlogue

sorry but we're out of peanut
chews. Don't push. There's enough
for everybody. Here you are, one
nice big cheese sandwich with
mayonnaise just oozing out. You're
getting a bargain, and you don't
know it. Do you want something
little boy? How about a silver
cup? Oh, you're just looking!
How much have we made so far
Only dollar and a half? We'll
never see Washington, if we don't
get busy.
Sandwiches! Candy, There goes
the bell. Hurry! Let's put what's

The 4-H Club
The four HIS represent the
fourfold development of the Head,
Heart, Hands, and Health. The
club is a publicly-supported and
directed educational enterprise of
the United States department of
Agriculture. A 1t is so organized
that it stresses better practices in
agriculture and home economics,
and the finer things or rural life,
while at the same time it develops
wholesome, industrious, public
spirited boys and girls. The best
thing of all which the All Club
does for girls and boys is to pro-
vide a broad, yet practical educa-
tion which will help them to bring
true their dreams of things to
come. If they are wondering how
they will manage to go to college,
or if they gaze into the horizon
where lies that orderly farmstead
of which they will some day be
master, the All Club of which
they are members offers them the
opportunity to achieve their goal
The friends which are made
through All Club contacts will
help them to succeed.
The Wide-Awake All Club of
Smyrna, one of the largest in the
State of Delaware, consists of As
members.
The club meets at the homes of
the different members the first
Monday of every month. Two or
three members entertain at the
same house The club dues are
sos a month. Members of the
club think up different ways to
earn money which is used to send
some members to "Short Courses"
at the University Of Delaware for
three days.
Each member gives a monthly
report of his project.
The officers now presiding in the
club are: Reynolds Bradley, presi-
dent; Homer Stevens, vice-presi-
dent; Mary Louise Hurd, secre-
tary; Elsie Lockerman, treasurer

More than $50 persons of the

ner given by the Greensboro, Md,
Fire Company Thursday night
were made i'll and most of the
town was up the greater part of
the night. The physicians of the
town were unable to care for all
the calls made and physicians
from other towns were routed out
of bed to aid. One resident who
was taken i'll said that there were
lights in practically every home in
the town early the next morning.
While many of the patients were
very sick it is reported that all
will recover. The illness is believ-
ed to have been ptontaine poison

Highlights of the Liquor Bill

Provision forbidding drinking on
streets, In parks, or other public
spaces, left out by House and in
serted in the Senate.
Number of rooms q hotel would
need to get license, fixed at 80 in
the House, and so In the Senate.
Senate amendment authorizing the
Commissioners TO limit number Of
licenses Of each class and number
In any locality.
Senate amendment conf1ning au-
thority to forbid licenses near
churches and schools to business
places established after enactment Of
this bill. The House exempted from
this restriction only places that were
in business April s, 1898, effective
date Of the beer law.
Senate amendments f0rbidding
sale Of hard liquor on Sundays and
Christmas days House bill gave the
Commissioners discretionary power
regarding Sunday sale.
Existing laws prohibiting sale and
possession Of liquor on military
reservations and naval stations would
be repealed by q Senate amendment.
There is dispute whether this
amendment would repeal these laws
only in the District or throughout
the country.
Persons convicted Of either .
felony or Of any violation of the
Volstead law within the past 10 years
could not get a license under q Sen
ate amendment. The House bill
made no reference to the Volstead
law, but prevented issuance Of IL
censes to persons who had ever been
convicted of q felony.

BELFAST, Ireland,

BY the Associated Press.

Joseph Devlin, 81, veteran Nationalist
leader of Ireland. died here early today.
Known as the Irish Demosthenes."
Devlin was one of the foremost Irish
politicians for more than 80 years
He died after q long illness which
kept him out of the campaign In the
last election. Five thousand children
prayed for his recovery He was an
idol among children owing to the ex-
cursions every Summer, on which he
took thousands OF children to the sea-
side on special trains. Poor children
were accommodated In homes main
tanned by him.
Because of his oratorical powers,
Devlin was chosen by the Nationalist
leader, John Redmond, to 60 on several
missions to the United States. He
brought home large sums Of money for
his party. On visits in America, he met
and conferred with Theodore Roosevelt,
Woodrow Wilson and William Jennings
Bryan.
Devlin fought the greater part of his
life for home rule. Despite his great
love of children, he never married.
He was a devout Catholic and was
granted audiences at the Vatican three
times.

cept from 1922 to 1929, and was in the

provision repeating q law Of long stand

clearly undesirable to encourage the use
of intoxicating liquor by ofncers and

6. Promiscuous advertising: It Is
undesirable to plaster the Capital City
with liquor signs. The beer signs now
on display are bad enough. It has been
decided. quite properly. not to permit
liquor advertising over the radio. Why,
then, give an advantage to other
methods Of advertising? The Senate

it is lawfully sold"
