MRS. WALTERS
KNOCKED DOWN
BY A TRUCK
Attempted To Cross Market At
Intersection OF Sixth And
Was Hit By Car
ESQ .APED WITH MINOR
CUTS AND BRUISES

Mrs. Annie M. Walters, wife of DR..
w. H. Walters, dentist of this city,
narrowly escaped on Monday evening
what might easily have been a fatal
accident.
Mrs. Walters, in attempting to cross
Market ST., at the intersection of
Sixth, was struck by truck, knock
ed down, severely cut over the left
eye, vaceived a number of bruises and
was picked up in an unconscious state.
The truck is owned by the Webb
Manufa% turing Company. 1t was
driven by young man, Herbert Smith
who, apparently, attempted to cut
ahead of Mrs. Walters before she
could cross the street. To do this, he
had to veer to the left. Mrs. WAL
tiers had progressed too far for the
truck to pass her and was struck by
the bumper.
Mr.. Clinton Duncan, son-in-law of
Mrs. Walters, and from whose home
she had just departed, went to the
rescue, picked her up and carried her
to his home, and called medical aid.
It was found that no bones were
broken, and so far as examination at
that time revealed, no internal in
juries inflicted. DR.. Walters who
was with Mrs. Walters did not ven
ture to make the crossing and advised
Mrs. Walters against the attempt. She
thought, however, she had time, but
events proved to the contrary.
Mrs. Walters is, at present, resting
as easily as could be expected. Only
recently recovered from an illness Of
several weeks, and, naturally, rather
frail, it seems to be a miracle that
she withstood the shock and escaped
with her life. The driver of the truck
stopped Immediately and did all he
could to render aid. 1t would seem
that he must have been driving at
moderate speed or else the impact
of the bumper would have been fatal.

FATAL ACCIDENT
OF SOMERSET
COUNTY YOUTH
Crashes Into Truck Parked On
Highway And Said To Be
Without Lights
OTHERS IN AUTOMOBILE
WERE SERIOUSLY HURT

One young man was killed, and
three others injured, one seriously, in
one of the worst automobile accidents
that has occurred in this section for
some weeks, when a car driven by Ed
ward Lee Miles, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hall N. Miles, of Marion Station, and
containing beside the driver, Marion
A. Dryden and Paul Marshall, both Of
the Marion section, plunged head-on
into a parked truck on the State road
between Salisbury and Princess Anne
at about eleven-thirty o'clock Thurs
day night.
According to reports made shortly
after the accident, the three young
men were coming from Ocean City
and driving at fair rate of speed
when without warning their car
plunged head-on into the truck and at
the same time hit Corporal c. E. Min
nick, of the State Police, who had just
stopped beside the parked truck.
Reports state that the truck was
parked without lights or flares, and
that member of the State Police,
Corporal C. E. Mennick, had stopped
by the truck and was waiting for the
owner or driver to appear so that he
could be warned or arrested for VIOLA
ton of the law, and that the motor
cycle of Corporal Minnick, was point
ed toward Salisbury, and that the
light from the motor cycle blinded
young Miles, whose car hit both the
truck and Corporal Minnick.
Impediately after the accident all
of the injured were rushed to the
Peninsula General Hospital at Sails
bury, where it was found that Miles
was but slightly injured, having a
number of cuts and bruises, that Dry
den was fatally injured, and died in
about three hours, that Marshall had
both arms broken and it was feared
was injured internally, and that Cor
poral Minnick had severe cuts and
decorations about his head, but was a.
able to leave the hospital after first
aid had been rendered.
Young Dryden, who was killed, is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Marion C..
Dryden, of the Marion neighborhood.
He would have been 16 years Of age
in a few weeks had he lived. He is
survived by his parents, one brother,
Isaac N. Dryden, Of Marion, three sis
tiers, Mrs. Mildred E. Bozman and
Mrs. BERTHE May Bozman both of Re-
vell's Neck, and Miss Nellie Frances
Dryden, of Marion.
The body of young Dryden was ear
ried to the Bradshaw funeral parlors,
Princess Anne, early Friday morning,
and the funeral was held Sunday af-
ternoon, with Rev. E. C. Andrews, of
Marion, officiating.

18TH ANNUAL
CONVENTION OF
LIONS CLUBS
Held In Mexico City And Ad-
j0urned On July Twenty
Sixth, Today
FIVE THOUSAND LIONS
AND GUESTS ATTENDED

The nineteenth annual convention of
the International Association Of Lions
Clubs adjourned on July 26 in Mexico
City, and the 5000 delegates and
guests who during the convention have
been royalty entertained "a Mexicana"
by the Lions of Mexico City, have be-
gun to spread out from the capital
city to take in all the sights Of Old
Mexico before returning to their home
in the United States and Canada. Ad-
vance estimates on registrations in
dicated the largest attendance Of the
Associations history.
During the four days Of the con-
vention the fact that the largest North
American service club was holding it's
convention in Mexico was acclaimed
as great step toward the closer I'M
derstanding between the races of
North America. Messages from Presi
dent Roosevelt and Premier Bennett Of
Canada were presented to the Presi-
dent of the Republic of Mexico, Senior
Lazaro Cardenas, who welcomed the
Lions at a grand reception attended
by all Lions and the diplomatic rep
resentatives of several countries.
On Thursday, the 18th the Lions
elected their first vice president, Rich
ard J. Osenbaugh, of Denver, to the
presidency of their association. Lion
"Dick" Osenbaugh, an, official Of the
Denver Sewer Pipe and Clay Com
pany, has been a widely known and
respected figure in the Association for
many years. Mr.. Osenbaugh has been
president of the Denver Lions Club,
district governor of Colorado Lions
Clubs, became a member of the in
ternational board of directors in 1880,
served two years, and was elevated
to the third vice presidency in 1882.
He rose successfully through the three
vice presidencies and was unanimously
voted into the highest office of the
Association at the Mexico City meet
ing by the accredited delegates rep
resenting $4,000 Lions.
The presiding officer of the con-
vention was Vincent C. Hascall, of
Omaha, Nebraska, 1934-35 president
of the Association. In turning over
the gavel to the incoming president
Mr.. Hascall assured him of his per-
sonal support for the year. The as
ISOLATION under president Hascan 1eg-
istered a considerable gain in member
ship, and increased it's number Of
clubs to the total Of 2,710. The clubs
in the Association during the year
registered a total of 2O,789 separate
activities such as the building of
Fairgrounds, the supplying Of type
writer's, radios and Braille courses to
the blind, the installation of safety
devices, and community efforts in
many other fields. This is the first
time that the gross figures has risen
above the 10000 mark.
Swinging the gavel to announce the
of the last session Of
the convention on Thursday, the new
president praised the previous conduct
of the Association, and pledged him.
self to direct faithfully the affairs Of
the organization during his term.

WHEAT CONTROL
ASSOCIATION
MEETINGS HELD
Dates Arranged For Princess
Anne, RehObOth, WestOver
And COsten Station
BEST PLAN GOVERNMENT
OFFERS FOR THE GROWERS

The annual meetings Of the Somer-
set Wheat Production Control Assoc
iation are held during the month Of
July, for the purpose of electing
Community Committees and Board
of Directors, to serve during the en-
suing year.
The following meetings will be held
in the several wheat communities.
Princess Anne-Saturday, July 9th
at 2:3O o'clock in the Courthouse.
Rehoboth--Monday, July Goth, at
g p. M, in Community Hall.
Westover-Tuesday, July 3Oth, at 8
P. M, Schoolhouse.
Costen-Wednesday, July 31st at 8
P. M. Quinton Hall.
The wheat contracts which were
signed late in the summer of 1888
were for three years period and ex-
pires with the 1885 crop which is now
being harvested. The growers who
have wheat contracts have received
full payment on the 1885 crop and a
first payment of 20 cents bushel on
the 1884 crop. The payment on the
1885 crop has been increased four
cents bushel, making the payment
33 cents instead of 20 cents bushel.
The wheat compliance papers have
been sent to Washington and the Sec
ond 1884 payment and the first 1885
payment will probably be made early
in the fall. '~r~ig8..-
The 176 contract signers have re-
ceived total payment of over $12,-
600, with about $4,000 still being due
under the present contract. The
growers reduced their 1884 crops, fiji
teen per cent of their base=acreage and
their 1885 crop, ten per cent. There
was no reduction made on the 1888
crop.
The wheat growers in the United
States conducted a referendum last
May and gave large majority for the
VI IIlc WLcnC =
control program.
The Agricultural Administration is:
now preparing wheat contract which
will cover a four years period be-
ginning with the 1886 crop.
The carry over of wheat in the Uni
ted States on July LIST was estimated
to be $50 to ITO million bushels. The
estimated production of wheat in the
United States for 1885 may be about
$40 million bushels. This years pro-
duction with the carryover will give
800 to $40 million bushels of wheat
in the United States. The normal con-
sumption is about 625 million bushels
and if no wheat were exported, this
would mean carryover in 1886 of
1876 to 215 million bushels.
The supply of wheat is increasing
in foreign countries and there will
probably not be sufficient demand for
U. S. wheat in 1856 to prevent an
increase in the domestic carryover.
The contract of the acreage seeded
to wheat seems to be the best plan
the government can offer to reduce
the surplus and keep the supply in
line with market demands.

was about opening leads In auc-
ton bridge there were certain set
rules for opening leads and these set
rules worked all right then because
most players adhered to them. But
today the younger players of con-
tract have learned that to defeat
game and slam contracts, they have
to make the right opening. There
fore, great study is being given to
opening leads. The study of open
ing leads has been my hobby for
quite a time.
T EFT me bring out a point about
L. opening leads in todays hand.
East's bid of three hearts over
North's raise to three clubs is quite
a strong bid. In the face of East S
bid, North and South have gone on
to five clubs.
Generally when partner has bid
a suit and you have no better lead
it is best to lead his suit. In to-
days hand West, of course, is 60
ing to open a heart. The old rule
would say, when holding four OF
your partners suit to an honor
open the fourth best, to give your
partner a count on the hand.
But let's look at the situation as
it confronts us in contract. The
bidding certainly indicates that
either the North or South hand is
short of hearts. West realizes that
if he could guess which suit to lead
through dummy, his partner might
be able to take two side tricks
Therefore, in this case do not lead
the fourth best heart, but lead the
king, hoping to find each opponent
with at least one heart. This will
allow you to get look at dummy
and now, when the king holds, it is
easy to see that the best suit tC
shift to is spades, with the king in
dummy.
This will give your partner two
spade tricks, which defeats the con-
tract. If a small heart had been
opened, the contract could not have
been defeated.

expect put too great a strain on
his energies. If you want to
patch things up with your hus-
band, refrain from debating his
ego and let the girl episode alone.
To attack the girl is to send your
husband to her defense. I suspect
his love affair of being a device
to hurt you. If you want it to
blink out don't show your feel
ings.
Dear Jane Observation-Disclosures ]
am very much in love with a boy
with whom 1 have gone for nine
months. 1 have been everything to
him and we intend to get married
when he has better work and we are
older. AS I really love him and want
to be happily married some day with
a home and children, how can l quit
doing things I regret and still keep
his love. 1 honestly believe he loves
me. ANXIOUS.
Answer-There is no sure, safe
solution to your problem. You are
at war with yourself and can not
expect peace No matter which
course you decide on you are in
danger of losing the boy because
emotions are none too stable at l6.
1 imagine you would respect your
self more if you decided in favor
of your conscience.
At any rate talk the problem
out with him and explain that
the situation is making you mis-
cradle. I can't predict his reac-
ton because I do not know the
Caliber of the boy.
