SHORT STORY--
YOUNG DOCTOR

I have decided to
keep my own prac-
tice."
"Oh, I see. Bril-
liant young doctor
sacrifices great ca
reer to help the
needy. Well, it
has q pleasant
sound, I suppose.
I know ! once
thought that ]
was meant to pass
my life in such q
field, but I soon
found out that !
was a misfit there.
"Oh. well, you
should know best.
But what about
Sheila?"
"Sheila? I'm
afraid this will
mean the finish
for things between
us, doctor. I love
her too much to

You NC DR.;
Carter paced
slowly back and
forth in a spacious
reception room in
the medical center
of Washington.
His mind was a
tumult of thoughts
which tortured
him with their in
sistence for an an
swer. He had to
decide Immediately
the weighty ques-
ton that would
indicate how he
was to spend the
remainder Of his
life and he could
not reach a con-
clusion. In his
imagination there
was the vision Of
little Johnny Nc
Carthy, who had
waved to him that
morning frOyn his

second floor tenement window in the
Southwest section of the District.
Hi, Doc" he had said. THE old
legs are coming along great, thanks
to you"
Yes, it had been because Of his
own magical power to heal and cure
that Johnny would run and play
ball again, that the lines Of pain
left old Mr.. Klein's face, that little
Sadie Baumgartner could see again.
BY accomplishing such things as
these he had won their confidence
and trust-yes, even their devotion.
And now, was he going to leave
them? Was he going to let these
people down, who depended on him
so utterly, or was he going to bid
farewell to security, success, fame,
and even happiness, in order not
to betray their trust in him?
YES, he could turn his back on these
= things easily enough If it were
not for Sheila. But you couldn't ask
girl like Sheila West, who was used
to every luxury in the world, to share
the grilling poverty and squalor of a
practice among the poor, just be-
cause of foolish dream of "pre-med"
days.
To ask Sheila to marry him meant
that he must enter her fathers
Office as assistant. 1t meant Con-
necticut avenue clientele, expensive
consultation fees, and eventually rec
ognition and success. II he refused
DR.. Vests offer he could not possibly
see her again. She would think him
fool for turning down such an op-
portunity and perhaps she would be
right.
Even Sheila, sweet and sympathetic
as she was, would hardly understand,
could hardly understand, his feelings
in this regard.
In his minds eye he began the
composition of the letter he would
write to her.
Dear Sheila: am sorry, but"
no, that wouldn't do "Sheila
Dear: I could not" Just then
LIlG pldGS-SldSS~ uOOA ACo ~. g.
T. J. West, M. D." swung open.
X \ II \
"0OME in, Michael-sorry to keep
you waiting, my boy, but had
few little things to do for Sheila
that I couldn't let wait. Sit down"
Michael grimaced inwardly. The
wife of a Green street doctor would
have to do everything for herself.
No, it wouldn't work out. There was
no use even to think about it.
Doctor West, please don't think
I'm ungrateful for the marvellous
opportunity you have offered me. 1
deeply appreciate your kindness but

CONOWINGO POWER co. FIGHTS
CUT IN RATES

The Conowingo Power Company,
which furnishes electric light and
power to Cecil county and parts OF
Hartford county, has carried to the
courts its two-year battle with the
Public Service Commission over a
Is per cent reduction in rates.
1t filed suit in the Baltimore Cir
cult Court, asserting the commits
sion's ruling last week, which ordered
the company to reduce it's valuation
by more than 100000 and thereby
bring about rate reduction, was
unconstitutional because it deprived
the concern of property without due
process of law.
Judge Joseph N. Ulman issued an
order giving the commission until
Friday to show cause why a tenn
porary injunction should not be
granted TO restrain the P. S. G. from
attempting to enforce it's order di-
recting the company to reduce it's
valuation.

PWA GRANTS NECESSITATE NEW
ROAD SURVEYS

Apparently blocked in its efforts
to apply Public Works Administra-
ton funds to the improvement of
existing State highways the State
Roads Commission has revealed that
several new routes were being sur
veyed in the hope they will be
eligible for PWA grants.
Maryland's original PWA roads
program has been held up at Wash
ington by ruling that grants cannot
be applied to roads partially sup
ported by other Federal funds. Most
of the present system comes under
this category.
Neither the proposed Eastern
Shore Boulevard nor the Annapolis
road, for example, could be brought
within the meaning of new roads,
in Mr.. Smiths opinion, so far as the
Federal viewpoint is concerned.
He emphasized, however, that the
new routes were being surveyed
merely as alternatives and that they
would not be constructed unless the
Federal Government stands firm In
it's ruling against the original pro-
gram. Negotiations for a modifica-
ton of the ruling have been under
way for some weeks.

DAMAGE SUIT COMPROMISED

William Pepper Constable and S..
Scott Beck, attorneys for Emory
Hogans, of Rock Hall, have an
nounced a compromise has been eff
fected in his case against the Holt
Oil Company, whereby Hogans has
agreed to accept $4,000.
Some weeks ago, jury in the Cir
cult Court for Talbot County award
ed Hogans verdict of $4,000
against the oil company for injuries
sustained in an automobile accident
on the Chestertown-Rock Hall high
way eighteen months ago, when a
car in which Hogans was riding was
struck by one of the oil company's
trucks.
The compromise was effected by
direction of the Circuit Court judges
who sat in the case, after comforting

pany which carried accident insur-
ance on the oil concern.

Wickwire Farms, owned by George
X. Bailey, Earleville, Maryland, re-
ports the sale of the good Aberdeen
Angus brood COW, "Wickwire's Queen
Mother" to H. H. Hackney of Finks-
burg, Md. This sale is deserving of
special mention, for this COW was a
daughter of Wickwire's former herd
bull Benefits Point Blackbird,"
and the mother of NAB of Wick
wire,7 the heifer that won the re-
serve championship for Wickwire at
the recent Maryland Aberdeen-Angus
Breeders Annual Show at Bel Air.
A sale of this kind from a local
herd speaks well for the Aberdeen
Angus business. When breeders can
part with championship producers to
bolster up fellow breeders herds, the
breed is progressing This COW has
already presented her new owner
with a heifer calf, full sister to the
Bel Air reserve champion heifer by
Wickwire's herd bull "Evilesco of
Page" This bull, you will recall,
brought the Aberdeen-Angus trophy
TO Wickwire Farms as the winner of
the Get of Sire Glass. Cecil County
in particular and Maryland in gen.
eral, may well be proud of having

quent heavy snow fiurries. In this
section the snowfall was not heavy
enough to accumulate on the ground
to any extent, as the rain soon dis
