ter, but the traffic lane this recent
cold snap was the worst in the history
of the Ferry Company.
The Dennis went through all kinds
of ice and had to break a channel
practically every trip it made. In
spite of the cold weather there has
been a great deal of traffic over the
ferry, and nothing but commentator
has been heard at the efforts of the
Company to keep up service and the
splendid way in which the Dennis
went through.
1t was rather terrifying to see the
Bay, many passengers thought it
looked worse than they had ever seen
it, but the Dennis damned her way
through, little late, but always made
port.

FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR
TO HAVE FIVE SATURDAYS

The calendar down through the
years cut peculiar capers. 1t is to be
remarked upon that January, 1886,
with 81 days, has only four Saturdays,
while February, shortest month of the
year, will have five Saturdays. This
is due to leap year, which adds a day
the 29th-to the years shortest
month-February will have five Sat
urdays because the first and last days
of that month will fall on a Saturday.
Three other months of the year,
May, August and October, will have
five Saturdays each, but they are long
months, of 81 days each. All this is
curious enough, but nevertheless faith
er time continues to keep up with the
calendar even if many people never
do. This recalls remark by that early
American humorist, Artemus Ward,
who said: "Time goes on. It's way
time has," and again who on being
told that he had a future before him,
observed that he had Railways thought
his future was behind him."

TRUCKMAN ADJUDGED
INNOCENT OF A DEATH

The death of Senator Thomas D.
Schall of Minnesota, was not the
fault of Lester G. HUMPHREYS, young
Hyattsville truckman, whose machine
struck the blind legislator as he was
crossing the Washington-Baltimore
highway in Cottage City, December
10, a coroner's jury decided Monday.
HUMPHREYS, who has been under
$4,000 bond since the Senator died
three days after the accident, was
freed and technical charge of man.
slaughtr dismissed.
Orell Leen, an employee of the Min
nesotan, who was leading Schall
across the road, was unable to say
anything other than that he was knock
ed unconscious by the impact OF the
truck.
In his own behalf HUMPHREYS testi-
fled that car pulled in front of him
and INSTRUCTED his vision, causing his
failure to see the Senator in time to
bring his machine to stop. Patrol
man Arthur Brown, Of the Prince
Georges County police told the jury
that he examined the brakes on the
truck and found them satisfactory.

SALISBURY WILL HAVE
WOMAN AS POSTMISTRESS

Mrs. Maude R. Toulson, business
woman and Democrat was last Mon
day named acting postmaster at the
Salisbury Post Office to fill the vac
ancy created by the expiration of the
term of R. Harry Phillips, Republican.
1t is expected that the appointment
will become effective about February

The appointment of Mrs. Toulson
followed wide endorsement of her

more than four hundred business and
professional men and women in Sails
bury and vicinity gave their personal
endorsement on her behalf.
Mrs. Toulson is not Salisbury's
first postmistress. Women now hold
similar positions in more than one
thousand First Glass post offices
throughout the nation, including Port
land, Me-, of 10000 and Oakland,
Calf, of 100000.
Mrs. Toulson is a member of an old
and prominent Eastern Shore family
which for several generations have
been conspicuous in the Democratic

COMPLICATIONS ARISE
IN KENT POST OFFICE

While work on the new Chester
town postoffice proceeds the demoli-
ton of the Hotel is liable to come to
a standstill any day.
The complication has all been
brought about by the refusal of the
Treasury Department to forward Mr..
Eliason his check for the property,
which has already been decided to the
Government, because Mr.. Eliason has
not decided a remaining strip of wild
ening the street in front of the new
building.
A part of the old building is stand
ing on the tiny strip which Mr.. Ella
son has not turned over to the town.
Allowed only $50 days for the con-
struction of the building, which went
into effect January Is, Geyer is anx-
ious that the controversy be ironed
out so that he can proceed.
Information received there states
that the Treasury Department has
forwarded the check for the site to
William G. Gassaway, special attor-
ney for the Department of Justice
in Baltimore, with instructions to with
hold delivery until Mr.. Eliason dedi-
Gates the remaining strip to the Town
Council of Chestertown. To further
complicate matters, it was learned
that the Council has taken no official
action toward accepting Mr.. Eliason's
gift, nor has it passed a resolution
for the widening of the street when
and if the property is decided.
The check which has been forwarded
to Mr.. Gassoway for payment for
the site is in the amount of $4,000.
Of this amount, Mr.. Eliason will re-
ceive $4,000 when the checkmate is
broken and the remaining $4,000 will
go to Charles E. Eshman, owner of
the Voshell Hotel, who sold the Gov
eminent small strip adjoining Mr..
Eliason's property.

PROTECTION AGAINST

The work of clearing Marshy Hope
Creek, fredericksburg, as the first step
in temporary flood control measures
will start in the near future, accord
ing to advice received by Mayor Thos.
H. Chambers from VIM. H. Elliott
district WPA director, of Easton, VINO
states that orders to proceed with the

priated, have been released for I'M
mediate work.
Although this grant was allotted Tor
this purpose shortly after the Septem-
her flood disaster which brought a
million dollar loss to Federasburg, var
ious technicalities have delayed ac-
tual operations. A petition was cir
culated by the Mayor and City Coun-
cilnen of that town, during the past
few weeks, thus removing the last OBJ
stacle to carrying out the long await
ed project.
During the prolonged interval, the
river has twice been swollen by ex-
cessive rains and melting SHOWS to
the point of causing grave concern
but receded before doing any DAM
age. It is expected that the project,
on which the local relief labor will
be employed under a special engineer,
will last for a few months.

BROCCOLI BLOCK TO
OPERATE IN ACCOMACK co.

Plans have been perfected for the
establishment and operation of the
first modern organized broccoli block,
patterned after the popular strawberry
auction blacks on the Shore, to be
operated at Nelsonia.
Due to the increased growth Of late
broccoli planting on the seaside as
enc of the chief early money crops
and in view of the modern and up to
date way of packing it, by punching
and Grating, it was felt that there was
a real need for competitive auction
block, whereby the grower would be
assured fair financial return accord
ing to his individual pride and careful
ness in putting up his package for the
market and at the same time repre-
sent a saving in time and expense to
the buyer who heretofore made his
purchases in the fields here and there
It is felt that the establishment of
such block will be much more salts
factory both to the grower and the
buyer. Growers, both of the early as
we'll as the late broccoli are urged to
give the movement their whole-heart-
ed support and in this way insure for
themselves the benefit Of a fair and
reliable home cash market for their
products. This is new venture de-
signed for the benefit of everybody
concerned in the growing and market
ing of the crop and it's success depends
largely upon the cooperation of the
growers as we'll as the buyers.
The date of the opening of the block
cannot be definitely set on account
of weather conditions, however, it will
be in operation whenever the fields
generally are ready for cutting.
1t is planned to have the block just
behind the West Service Station at

President Learns Facts.
President Roosevelt. who never lets
week 60 by without calling up his
mother either at Hyde Park or New
York City, was conversing with her
over the phone Monday when. in re-
sponse TO his inquiry as TO how she
was feeling, she responded something
to the effect that Il haven't been
getting around so well lately"
When questioned by the President
as to what was preventing her from
getting around as actively as usual,
she answered in a casual tone to the
effect that she was slightly handi-
capped"
When pressed by the President for
further details, his mother then told
him about the fall and the subsequent
results.
1t is said at the White House today
that when the family physician
examined Mrs. Roosevelt last Mon
day it was discovered she had an
inpacted hip and a cracked bone.
Mr.. Roosevelt, on learning this, has
been wondering just how his mother
despite her strength and vitality, has
been able to walk around and keep as
busy as she did for six days with such
serious injury.

HERRIOT DEBATES
BLUM PORTFOLIO
Three-Time Premier Weighs War
Debt Reply to U. S. and
League Tangle.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, May 20.-Edouard Herriot,
thrice premier of France, weighed to-
day an appeal from Leon Blum. pre-
mier designate Of the incoming Left
ist government, to become foreign
minister and take a leading part in
proposed League Of Nations reform.
Blum, leader of the Socialist party,
urged Herriot personally in a three
hour conference last night to accept
the foreign affairs portfolio in the new
cabinet to be formed after the Left
dominated Chamber of Deputies con-
venes early in June.
Sources close to Herriot, spirited
"enfant terrible" of French politics
said he was reluctant to take the
post, but deferred his final answer
to Blum's plea that he undertake the
task of trying to untangle European
affairs and open a new era of diplo-
macy.
One reason for Herriot's unwilling
ness to take charge of the Quai Dor
say was reported to be the problem,
incumbent on the foreign minister
of writing q reply to the United
States formal notice Of the June IS
payment due on the war debt.

Chamber of Deputies for his insist
ence that France should pay its war
debts installments to America, an

has been charged that in several in
stances one company would institute
bus service merely to keep poten-
tial competitor from getting the route.
The result, of course, has been poor
service to the public in such cases.
The Public Utilities Commission,
which was not created until 1918, has
been working to bring some measure
of orderly operation out of this con-
fusion.
The final merger of all the transit
units, 1t is believed, will prove ma
terially helpful in this endeavor. Nu-
merous studies have been made and
others are being made in an effort to
coordinate the service.
Given time and proper co-opera-
ton, members of the commission be-

The key to North American con-
trGl lies in the ownership of about
S0s per cent of the stock of the

abbut 81 per cent of the common
stdck of the Capital Transit Co., and,
of greater significance, owns all the
common stock of the Potomac Electric
Power Co.
North American acquired the stock
coatrol of the Washington Rapid
Transit Co-now in process of being
merged with the Capital Transit Co.
in 1923. Disposing of this stock under
provisions of the La Toilette anti

stes to the thirty-fourth annual con-

ment early this afternoon.
Mark Ethridge, general manager OF
the Louisville Courier-Journal and
Times, spoke on THE Changing News
paper" He said: There have been
many changes during the past rs
years, but there has been no change
in the principle which guides the pub
lication of a successful newspaper:
That principle which dictates that the
newspaper must have adequate re-
sources to collect news, intelligence to
handle it and courage to comment

unsubsidized.
James E. Chappell of the Birming-

rected talks on classified advertising.
Ethridge criticized low salaries IN
news departments, saying:
There is no substitute for mtelli-
eence in news rooms, and there Is no
way of securing it without paying Tor
1t. It costs you money not to have 1t.
He urged Southern newspapers to
lead in a fight for better South.
He went on: There never were so
many challenging problems for the
South to meet. Whether We realize
it or not, whether we like it or not,
we are undergoing social revolution IN
this part of the country; revolution
that, ii we have courage and intelll-
pence to guide it, will bring us into
fairer fields and better days. l am
against bloody shirt sectionalism. but
I do say in all seriousness that there
has not been at any time greater
challenge to intellect of Southern
editors or greater opportunity for eco
nomic and political guidance than
there is now"
