POCOMOKE in DARKNESS
ON WEDNESDAY EVENING

Pocomoke City was in darkness for
a short while on Wednesday evening
due to obstruction by ice Of some parts
of the machinery at the plant in Wen
ma.
Fortunately Pocomoke still has the
local plant on which to fall back. This
was quickly started and run for sew
eral hours until the Vienna headquar-
tiers resumed it's service. Electrical
current is so widely used these days
that, when it is cut off, great incon-
venience arises. Motion picture par
lors, radios, refrigerators, cook stoves,
and many other appliances are put
out of business. Luckily, Pocomoke
was not deprived for very long time
on Wednesday night. The local plant
stood the city in good stead.

ASSOCIATION
FIGHTS FORMULA
Keystone Auto Club Opposes
Casey Committees Formu-
la For Meeting Relief

Acceptance of the Casey Commit
tees formula for meeting the relief
emergency will have a detrimental
effect on motoring and the motor in
dustry in Maryland, according to Al
bert E. Buckley, Manager of the Key
stone Automobile Club. of Maryland.
GAS an organization representing
the best interests Of motorists" said
Mr.. Buckley, 1--WE cannot subscribe to
the plan of saddling an 100000
bond issue on citizens who, through
thrift and progressiveness, have be-
come owners of motor vehicles. The
Casey Committee plan will, in effect,
penalize one class of citizens while re-
lieving all others of burden that
should be borne by the public as a
whole.
eff State burdens are to be shunted
to the shoulders of motorists for the
sole reason that they own or operate
motor vehicles, citizens thus singled
out for the whiplash of crushing tax
alton will be forced to join the ranks
of those who are virtually tax-free
because of non-ownership of automo-
biles. At time when the great mo-
tor industry is getting back into stride
after the most disastrous period in its
history, it is poor PHYSIOLOGY for the
State of Maryland to stifle progress
by making car ownership so burden
some that none but the wealthy can
afford the mounting costs.

BANKS ERASE
BO0M'S LOANS
Over Billion of Worthless
Paper Written Off Re-
placed by New Capital

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. (UP).
American banks last year erased
more than $1,0O0,00G,000 of
worthless, boom-time loans from
their books with the aid of gov
eminent money the Federal De-
post Insurance corporation re-
ported to congress last night.
These losses were replaced by
the pumping of about this amount
of new capital into the banks.
Offsetting the $1,130,000,000 in
"writeoffs" the government thru
the Reconstruction Finance COR
poration provided S550,000,000
in new capital: private investors
$l0O,000,000 and the banks made
up the remainder out of current
earnings.
While the banks were taking
these losses, the report showed
that on December 81, 1884, to-
tai of 1852 closed commercial
banks still owed depositors ST.
400, 100000.
Insured banks which comprise
14,146 of the country's 1924
operating banks, were the basis

SISTER MARY'S MENU
BY MARY T.. UAGUE
NEA Service stan Writer

THIS is the lush season-all the
= best vegetables in the plenti-
full prime. Sweet potatoes, for
instance, which you ought to use
often because they are such a
splendid food on so many counts.
Being a yellow vegetable, they are
an excellent source of Vitamin A,
essential for growth and the
building of new tissues. They con-
tribute lots of calories, and that's
important. Maybe you don't real
ize what food scientists are
worrying about-that many grow
ing boys and girls who have plenty
of vitamins and minerals in their
daily diets are still short on the
calories
II you substitute sweet potatoes
for Irish potatoes, though, con-
slider the whole meal carefully.
For the sweets are higher in fat
and carbohydrates, but lower in
protein than the Irish potatoes.
One-half of a baked sweet potato
provides 100 calories, but whole
medium-sized Irish potato is nee
essary to furnish that many cal
cries
Remember when you buy sweet
potatoes that unlike their Irish
cousins. they are susceptible to-
temperature and dampness and
spoil quickly Calculate your
needs and buy in comparatively
small quantities to avoid waste.
Southern cooks are most adept
at cooking sweet potatoes They
even make light rolls. using sweet
potatoes for yeast Adding egg
yolks to the dough produces gold

ture, for an autumn luncheon

for some other attorneys conven-
fence before trial could be start
ed. Further, this court has had
the fullest cooperation of Mr..
Shipman in the past and has every
reason to believe it will continue
so.
GAS to Mr.. Oates, he was sum-
moned TO appear as juryman and
failed to appear. Mr.. Oates says
he was only summoned a short
time before the trial and at that
time was working on the payroll
of the Duke Power Co., and that
he told the officer that in view Of
the time given him he did not see
how he could appear as he had no
one to substitute for him on so
short notice, and in view of the
scarcity of jobs, and not being IA
miliar with the law, decided to
take a chance with the latter. I'm
der the circumstances his apology
was accepted, but this court can
not condone such actions indeti-
nitely."
