victories. Lewes-Rehoboth walloped

Crisfield took Cambridge into camp,
SO to %; and nosed out Easton, 10 to
II. This team has the redoubtable
Darlington on the of Washington
College fame; and also another Shore

the Crabtown boys will make any
give" hustle to win.
Elkton beat Easton, 33 to 20; and
also showed the boys from Ocean City
how to win, defeating the Resort
representatives, 81 to 81. Ocean City
has good team and before the season

MAJOR CAREY
ARRANCES TO
PROTECT LIFE
Seeks To Decrease Highway Ac-
cidents BY Sort Of Vigil
lance Committee
PROFITABLE TO EXTEND
PLAN IN OTHER PLACES

Major Enoch B. Gary, superinten-
dent of Maryland State Police, has
outlined plan in his native county,
Caroline, to decrease motor accidents
on the highways. tt is to be hoped
he may extend it to Worcester and
other counties.
Major Garey's plan calls for a
Safety Council consisting of ten per-
sons in each district, or eighty people,
to act as councilmen, and twenty adj
ditional persons in each district, as
alternates, making a total of 240 per-
sons whose duty it shall be to aid
the State Police in the eradication
of reckless driving.
If member of the Safety Council
observes his neighbor driving be-
yond the speed limit, he must re-
monstrate with him privately. If
the neighbor fails to heed the adj
monition, the entire Safety Council
shall take the matter up. If the &C
ton of the Safety Council is disre-
garded, the matter will be reported
to Walter A. Rudy, automobile COM
missioner.
The members of the council will
wear a badge bearing the coat-of-
arms and colors of the State. Ger
tificates for one year will be award
ed to those individuals who, having
driven safely, within the law, for
that length of time, are entitled to
the commentator of the public.
Similar certificates will be awarded
for five and also for ten years pc
RODS.
Major Carey said he is starting
the safety project in his native coun-
ty, Caroline, in honor Of his mother,
the late Mrs. Robert Carey, of Den
ton, and his son, Ross Carey, who
was drowned in the Chesapeake Bay.
Another meeting was addressed by
Major Carey at S:45 Sunday night
in Union M. E. Church, Federals-
burg. introduced by State Senator
Wilmer F. Davis of that town, Ma
jor Carey outlined his proposed cam
paign.
Major Carey said he was opposed
to an increase in the State police force
as a solution to the problem, contend
ing that the populace must be alive
to the menace existing in allowing
fragrant violators of the law to go
UNPUBLISHED.
Major Carey outlined his program
for making this county one of the
safest in the country.

AIR PLANE TRIP
OWED DELAWARE

An investigation of the Del
Mar-Va peninsula route be-
tween New York and the South
has been completed by Elmer
Jenkins and Ernest Bearnath,
officials of the American Auto
mobile Association. The trip
was unique in that, while it
was for the purpose of inspect
ing automobile routes, it was
made entirely by airplane for
the saving of time.
The party started from New
ark, the first stop being New
Castle, Del. At New Castle the
party inspected the Pennsville-
New Castle ferry, which runs
from Pennsville, N. j., to New
Castle. Coming from New
York, New Jersey Route Is and
u. s. Route 100 lead to the
ferry, and from New Castle, U.
s. Route IS leads on down the
peninsula to Cape Charles, Va.
The members of the party were
said to be impressed with the
saving of time and mileage to
motorists driving from New
England or New York to the
South. The route is said to be
not only more direct but avoids
congested areas.

On Wednesday evening, the locals
stacked up against Crisfield, always
hard combination for Pocomoke to
face. The game was won by Girls
field with points to spare, but Po-
comoke showed much improved form
over the previous games. Indeed, her
passing was superior to that of Girls
field, but her guarding was not so
close as it should be. Their basket
was many times left open for long
passes which Melted the visitors many
points.
For the home team, MCGEE was high
scorer, ringing up six points, closely
followed by Cutler with five. All the
boys got into the scoring except Hay
man, which shows that the team is
not built specially around one man.
For Crisfield, Lawson and Caring
ton led with IL points each, these two
being accountable for "a Of the "a
points made by the visitors. Girls
field gave the boys credit for pulling
up the strongest opposition they had
met this season.
Tomorrow evening, Saturday Elkton
visits Pocomoke and this bunch Of
cagers, being tied for first place and
being strangers to this locality should
draw big crowd. So far they have
won from Easton and Ocean City, not
by large but by decisive scores.

from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, read in some paper the
other day that Mahatma Gandhl' the
big little man of India was diagnosed
by is chief medicine man, as having
high blood pressure.
Now, never had the extreme pleas
ure of being introduced to the gentle
man, so I have not met him In the
flesh Cor bones); consequently, have
no first knowledge of his physical cor
uorosity. All I know about him is
what I've seen pictured in the news
papers.
Judged, then, by his counterfeit pre-
sentiments, one could easily be excused
for reaching the conclusion that the
high muck-a-muck from "The Ind" as
the poets would say, has no blood at
all. Blest if he doesn't look like he
could stand several bucketsful OF in
fusions every day and still not get
excited about it. His little, dried up
frame must rattle as he walks, and
he looks like he's been on a diet ever
since he was born. Now, if the news
had come out about low pressure and
the Gander, one might have taken
notice; but "high pressure!" Tell that
to the marines.
Did you people see that pretty pic
ture in the brown section of the Bal
timore Sun last Sunday, which rep
resented a certain DR.. Cook, connected
with the University of Minnesota, as
seated in a chair and holding the ar
ticulated bones Of human skeleton
in his lap. He is reported as calling
that thing his "pal." A new idea in
companionship. If the picture did
not have all the appearance of being
taken from life, I should say that
this DR.. Cooke was following in the
footsteps of another famous DR.. Cook
and that he was doing some tall lying.
How-some-ever, that's neither here
nor there. What I want to says is,
that I'll wager nice Christmas gift
that were this DIR. Cook blind folded
and his "pap' skeleton displaced by
Mr.. Gandhi, he couldn't tell the diff
ference. And I am almost ready to
believe that DIR. Cooks skeleton has
as much high blood pressure as has
the Gentleman from India"
But, after all, I reckon it doesn't
matter how much adipose tissue a
man has adhering to his bony frame
work. What counts most of all, is
the amount of grey matter stored
away in his cerebral cavities, and it
is reported the Eastern potentate is
pretty we'll provided with brains,
enough, at least, to make some Of his
more Western brother diplomats sit
up and take notice. And, you know,
while I am not physician, I would
counsel his medical advisers not to
interfere too much with his high blood
pressure. He really needs something
like that to keep him going. AS it
is, he has to adopt sitting position
to discuss political problems. De-
prlVe MIN O1 ChS StihuAoa' " 49,
pressure, and blest if he wouldn't
have to go to bed to talk. He's toe
weak now to carry around enough
clothes to keep him warm. Pm afraid
it wuld be very embarrassing to the
general vision, if he were compelled
to undergo a much greater drop in
his temperature.
But, after all, he's all right. He's
a patriot, working for what he be-
lieves is the good of his people, and
his kind are few and far between
Long life and more covering for his
skeletal structure, is what say.

know all you people have noticed
that wonderful feature of Pocomoke's
Christmas decorations-that beautiful
star, with the appearance of having
taken it's place along with the other
satellites of the heavens, and spread
ing it's reflected light in no uncer-

In my opinion, if Pocomoke had
rested there in it's program of Yule-
tide dress, this city would have lacked
nothing in competition with other
towns, no matter how lavish the elec-
trical display or how profuse in ever
green adornment. There are nineteen
centuries of wonderful history por-
trayed by that reminder of Redeem
er's birth, and it needs no auxiliaries
to include in it all the beauty, all the
meaning, all the sacredness that
should surround this season of JOY
and gladness.

station, it would still be mammoth
