The delegate has introduced a bill in the House authorizing the Secre- tary of the Interior to locate, esta- blish construct, equip and operate a hospital for the insane of Alaska, and for other purposes.
 It has long been felt that better results would be obtained if the mental patients of Alaska were giv en treatment in a sanitarium main tained and operated by the govern ment rather than under the present system whereby treatment is con- tracted for through private inStltu- ton. This bill is the first step to- wards providing for the needed hos pital.
 The bill authorizes an appropria- ton of $2,500,000 for the purchase of land and construction and equip ment of the proposed hospital. The hospital would also provide treat ment for federal patients that are insane other than those from Alaska The bill provides that the hospital may be located in Alaska but does not limit the location to the Terri tory as the Secretary of the Inter- for is given complete authorization to locate it where it is deemed best,

COMMITTEE AWARD
PRIZES FOR LIGHTING

A committee of three ladies made
several trips through the streets of
Pocomoke on Tuesday evening, last,
to view the electrical display at the
city homes, and to decide who should
win the prizes offered by the Demo
crat" for the best lighted residence.
Mrs. VIM. H. Schoolfield, Mrs. E..
P. Matthews, and Mrs. r. Lee Hall,
constituted the trio of judges, and,
after taking first an elimination trip,
and then comparative views, decided
that Mr.. Clinton Duncan's home de-
served the first prize and Mr.. Norris
Young's the second.
The selection was a difficult one
to make. There were many homes
which were taken under consideration
and many that deserved most promi-
nent mention. To mention these might
result in leaving out some home which
deserved favorable comment; so suf-
flee it to say that the illumination
was most .~-reditable and really de-
served MOI han two prizes. Another

(Contributed)

Mrs. Ethel M. Aydelotte, wife of
Mr.. o. T. Aydelotte of near Snow Hill
died in the Peninsula General Hos
pital, Salisbury, shortly before noon,
last Monday.
Mrs. Aydelotte had been i'll for
some time, little more than year
ago she entered Mercy Hospital in
Baltimore for an operation of the hip;
she returned home in November of
last year so much improved that
everyone believed she would soon be
well again. A few months later COM
plications arose, she was advised by
her physician to enter the Becks Gin
ic in Baltimore for observation, she
spent several weeks there yet they
failed to locate her trouble or relieve
her suffering. She returned home in
August of this year, somewhat dis
couraged in August of this year,
somewhat discouraged but unwilling
to give up, she still exercised the faith
that she would recover.
Three months ago DIR. Fisher of
the Salisbury Hospital gave her an
examination and took her under his
care; for the first few weeks she re-
sponded so nicely to his treatment
that hope again was revived that she
might recover but just as her friends
and loved ones began to take on new
hope came change for the worse and
since then she has been slowly grow
ing weaker each day. She made a
brave and courageous fight and exer-
cised such beautiful faith, it was al
most impossible to believe she would
die so Dung. Everything was done to
alleviate her suffering and prolong
her life, but her case seemed beyond
human skill. 1t seems her mission
here was finished. 1t can truly be said
she performed it well. It would be
difficult to find anyone who possessed
more friends or was held in higher
esteem for "none knew her but to
love her." Her sweet, cheerful dis
position even in her intense suffering
bore evidence of her beautiful christ
ian character and revealed her nobil-
ity of soul.
Mrs. Aydelotte was devout Christ
ian, she gave her life to the service
Of God when a young girl and united

LOCAL MARKSMAN
SURPRISES THE
PENNSYLVANIA
Shoots Guinea Through The
Head From The Birds Perch
On Building COrnice

From the State of Pennsylvania,
around New Castle way, comes a
story thought good enough for pub
licity. 1t tells of a certain man, Nc
Cornell by name, who took a pistol
shot at a turkey which had escaped
and scared to the top of house.
At the first shot, the bird was only
wounded. To get better range on
the turkey, Mcconnell climbed on the
roof of an adjoining three-story build
ing. Thus stationed, another shot
brought down the hen.
A Pocomoke City man has that beat
a mile. Recently guinea bird es-
capped from a coop and scared aloft,
perched on the stone cornice of the
big building, corner Market street and
Clarke Avenue. There, as if wearied
by it's flight, it took a seat to view
the landscape DER.
Nothing could be seen of this bird
but it's head; and that's not a very
large or stable object at which to
shoot. But Francis Young, in charge
of fruit stand on the opposite side
of the street, brought that bird down
with two shots from a small rifle,
sending a bullet squarely through it's
head. That would discount the Penn
sylvanian's Workmanship, who had
the entire body of the turkey as a
target, while Mr.. Young, had only the
guinea's very small head at which
to aim. He'd be dangerous man
from whom to try a getaway.

E. NJ. DASHIELL
DIED ON WE'D.
IN SOMERSET
Was Eighty-Seven Years OF
Age And VariOusly Prom
inent On The Shore
WE'LL KNOWN BY THE
PEOPLE OF POCOMOKE

Cassius M. Dashiell, of Princess
Anne, prominent in the business, Soc
ial, historical and church life of the
Eastern Shore, died in Princess Anne,
last Wednesday, just as the shadows
gathered around the closing of the
greatest festival of the year.
Mr.. Dashiell was 81 years of age,
was widely known and was a member
of very old Maryland family. He
was secretary-treasurer of the Tri-
State Packers Association and had
served in that capacity for 20 years.
He was great churchman and always
interested in the welfare specially of
the Episcopal denomination. He
knew it's history probably as we'll as
any man in the State. He concerned
himself with the preservation of old
churches, and Green Hill in Wicomico
and Rehoboth in Somerset owe him
much when considered in the light of
restoration.
He was register of the Diocese of
Easton, senior warden and a member
of Somerset Parish.
Mr.. Dashiell was educated at old
Washington Academy and the Uni
versity of Virginia. He also read
law. He was married to Miss Ada
Rose, who died some years ago.
He is survived by a half-brother,
William H. Dashiell, Princess Anne;
sister-in-law, Mrs. Hampden H.
Dashiell, Princess Anne; nephew,
Hampden H. Dashiell, Princess Anne
and a niece, Mrs. Margaret Dashiell
Flynn, Wilmington, Del.
The deceased was we'll known in
Pocomoke City, and there will be
scores who will mourn his loss to the
Shore. He was one of natures noble
men and contained in him all the ele-
ments of a man. He lived to a ripe
old age and his memory will be pre-
served by many good deed.

XMAS LIGHTING
IS FULLY PAID
BY CASH GIVEN
Lights Will Probably Remain
Burning Until After Bust
ness Hours Saturday

By excellent financeering, George
w. Coffman, treasurer, reports bal
anced budget on the street lighting
proposition, and the decorations will
probably be in evidence during the
remainder of this week.
The total receipts from public sub
scription were $211.50. Expenses Of
bulbs, evergreens, and labor, amount
ed to $111.96, leaving credit balance
from these items of $99.54. This bal
ance together with small balance
left over from last year, enabled the
management to settle for the current.
Those in charge are to be congratu-
lated upon this public service.
Pocomoke's shopping section has
been tastefully and beautifully illumi-
mated this year. The streamers along
the side of the streets in conjunction
with the permanent lights, made a
brilliant display and were most fav-
crably commented upon. The large
star on the Peninsula Building, was
an outstanding feature of the decora-
lions. It's location made it part of
the heavens itself, and it's significance
was most impressive. 1t contained
enough Of the Christmas spirit to have
constituted an entire illumination. 1t
did much credit to the originators of
the idea.

SPECIAL SESSION
THE FIRST WEEK
in FEBRUARY Sc
Call Predicted On The Need For
A New Unemployment
Relief Act
REVISION OF LIQUOR LAWS
MAY OCCUPY ATTENTION

Governor Harry w. Nice has select
ed the first week in February for the
of special session Of the
Legislature, but left the actual date
for later determination. 1t was in
dictated that the legislators would be
summoned to Annapolis either Feb
ruary or 5.
The call for the special session will
be predicated on the need for new un-
employment relief legislation to sue
coed the one per cent gross receipts
tax that expires March 81, but other
activities that appeared likely to await
the arrival of the lawmakers at the
capital include:
A request for an additional appro-
priation to complete the remodellng
and refurnishing Of the Executive
Mansion.
A fight over the speakership of the
House of Delegates, with a county
coalition seeking to unseat Speaker
Emanuel Gorfine as part of plan to
destroy the power of combination
of city politicians.
A new move to revise the liquor
laws sact... at the special session
of 1888, with saloon interests again
attempting to put in force blanket
license such as that which preceded
prohibition.
Much other prospective legislation
has been announced, but relief, the
speakership, the Executive Mansion,
and the liquor laws are expected to
provide the chief controversies of the
special session.
Under the constitution, the special
session will be limited to thirty days,
and thus, if called on February a, will
be dissolved March A. If at the end
of that time it has not finished its
work-a possibility pointed to by po-
litical figures who anticipate a strong
surge of factionalism linked with new
lines being drawn in the Democratic
ranks-the Governor is authorized to
call new session beginning at once.
Governor Nice today had at hand
an accounting of costs on the Execu-
tive Mansion from which he expected
to learn whether it will be necessary
to ask the Legislature for further
funds to complete the reconstruction
started last May. He said, however,
that he had not been able to finish the
study of the figures prepared by Clyde
N. Friz, supervising architect on the
remodeling project, and was unable to
say what the accounting would show.
He said he will issue public state
ment on the subject as soon as he ends
his examination of the figures.
A fund of 100000, amassed from
several sources, was available for the
mansion work. More than $4,000 had
been expended two weeks ago, the
date of the last report from the Comp
troller and Governor Nice said he ex-
pected the ultimate cost to exceed
$4,000. He announced yesterday that
work will be halted when the avail
able funds are exhausted and the
building will stand idle until the Leg
islature can act.

new ELECTRIC
SCHEDULES ARE
ECONOMICAL
Effect A Saving Of Approx
mately $4,000 A Year
To Customers In Md.
MORE ELECTRICITY BEING
USED THAN HERETOFORE

New electric rate schedules, apply
ing principally to domestic and COM
lnercial consumers and resulting in es-
timated savings of approximately
$115,000 a year to customers affected
in Delaware and Maryland, were an
nounced on Monday by F. w. G. Webb,
Chairman of the Board of the Eastern
Shore Public Service Company. The
rates will become effective for all con-
sumption after January meter read
ings and will be reflected first in the
February bills. This is the fourth
rate reduction made by the Company
in recent years and follows closely
upon that which became effective on
June 1, 1884.
In addition to the savings which
the new rate will mean for each do
nestle and commercial customer, the
most pronounced change which they
will bring about are: (1) the adopt
ion of straight block rate for domes-
tic consumers regardless of the num-
Der of rooms in a customers dwelling
and the discontinuance, except in a
few instances, of the room-rating
method of determining the number of
kilowatt hours in the block; ~ the
limitation of the number of kilowatt
hours in the first block of the rate
for commercial establishments; and
81 the elimination Fall seasonal
lighting, schedules and all optional
kcheaules for domestic lighting, re-
frigeration and cooking.
The idea behind the new rate sched-
ules is not only to offer saving to
customers, but to encourage great
er use of their electric service. The
new domestic service schedules, for
instance, will begin with monthly
charge of $1.20 for which the GUS
toner will be entitled to use IL kilo-
watt hours per month. The next block
of % kilowatt hours used per month
will be at &c per kilowatt hour, the
next block of 35 at SC and the next
block of 100 at &c and all over 200 at
&c. The new schedule for commercial
establishments will be lie lower per
kilowatt hour in the first block.
Mr.. Webb pointed out that these
rate reductions benefiting thousands
of customers have been made possible
because of the definite improvement
which has occurred in general bust
ness conditions on the Delmarva Pc
ninsula and the resulting increase in
the use of electricity during the past
year. He emphasized the point that
the new schedules reaffirm the Com
pany's statement made in connection
with a previous rate announcement in
June, 1934-"the Company has great
confidence in the location, the soil
and climate, and the character of the
people of the Delmarva Peninsula
as sound foundations for a contin-
uance of the trend toward improved
business conditions here"
All types of customers are using
more electricity today than ever be-
fore, said Mr.. Webb, and the Company
hopes the new rates will serve as a
further impetus to still better condit-
ions and an even greater use of cleo
trio service.
