John c. Heide, Retired D. c. Policeman, Recalls
When Tipsy Woman Speeder Stugged Him
With Two Horseshoes in Stocking

Horseshoes are not always lucky.
And if you don't believe that, ask
John Charles Heide, retired mem
Der Of the Metropolitan Police De-
partment.
For he was a mounted officer
assigned to patrol Conduit Road
for many years, arresting
"speeders" who drove their horses
more than IL miles an hour.
Once, he recalls, he stopped q
woman driver who had been ins~
bibing a bit too much. He was
almost killed when she struck him
over the head with a stocking
which held a couple of horseshoeS.
In 1917 he again narrowly
escaped death when a hitrun
driver struck him, killing his
horse.
Always interested in horses,
Heide graduated from the United
States Veterinary College, and for
a time had charge Of all District
horses.
In 1922 he resigned and lives in
a log house he constructed him
self at 1852 Forty-eighth st. N. w,
along Conduit Road, where he
served for so many years. And
he still has General Petain and
Nancy, the two horses he rode
while on active service.

Mullikin, chairman of the ASsoci-
alton reported today.
This total, based on actual re-
ceipts for 20 concerts and on esti-
mated receipts for last nights

members of the orchestra a salary
of about $40 week for the seven

had been deducted, according to
SUM Johnson, treasurer of the

Less Than Last Year
Chairman Mullikin stated that
this amout compares with an
income of $4,000 received last
year by the National Symphony

the majority of the summer con-

six weeks summer season of 1885,
the musicians, numbering about
10 men, were paid $50 per week.
AS spokesman for the orchestra,
Mullikin declared that the must

! WOMEN HELD
WHILE DEATH
IS PR0BED
Retired Fireman Found
Knitted and Dead
In Kitchen

With two women in custody,
homicide squad detectives and the
coroner's office today plunged
into a detailed probe Of the mys-
FERROUS death of William Grover
jenkins, 40, retired member of
the District Fire Department.
Jenkins was found dead last
night in the kitchen of his room
ing house, SIG Tenth st. S. E.
Two knife wounds, one Of which
is believed to have severed an
artery, were found on his right
leg and he lost a tremendous
amount of blood. Police said
death followed a drinking party
at the house.
Autopsy Ordered
Coroner A. Magruder Macdon-
aid ordered an autopsy for today.
Until the result of this is known,
Detective Sergts. George Darnall
and John DalgliSh, of the homi-
eide squad, declined to express any
theory.
The two women held are Anna
Marie Sanford, AZ, owner of the
house, and Edna M. Weaver, IS,
a roomer. They are being de-
tanned at the Women'S Bureau.
Police said Jenkins body was
found seated at a kitchen table,
his head bent forward. The
kitchen, police said, was strewn
with empty liquor and beer
bottles.
Two Police Calls
Police said during the after
noon a scout car was twice sent
to the house to investigate COM
plants of trouble, but on each
occasion were met with denial
that complaints had been made.
The detectives said that shortly
before 7 o'clock, the Weaver
woman ran into a. neighboring
grocery store and had the pro-
prietor call for an ambulance.
When the ambulance arrived, the
physician found Jenkins dead.
Detectives then were called.

LOCAL SOLDIER BOYS
VICTORS AT SOFT-BALL

A card from Lieutenant Elmer
Birmingham, commanding officer of
the local Headquarters Company, Ma
tional Guard, now at Camp Richie,
Cascade, says the boys are having a
good time at soft ball, and won the
opening game of the schedule by the
score of Is to 3. Their opponents
were Company A, which is the Freder-
lex organization.
The Guards have been practicing
the game Of soft-ball for some weeks
here, and have made a good showing
in the local league. When soft-ball
was started in the encampment, the
boys were right at home and proved
their metal. They are going to be
hard to beat.

card from Lieutenant Birmingham
and hopes to hear from him again.

There is only a step between pathos
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1936-08-14

and humor; just fine line between
laughter and tears; only sigh be-
tween joy and despair.
So let us turn away from that which
is intended to amuse, no matter how
great the failure, and give a moment
to the consideration of the self-sacri-
flee of mother whose devotion to her
boy, caused her to think only of his
safety-her life being of minor impor-
tance.
Mrs. Henry Stiles, young mother
of Birds Nest, leaps from a truck
to save her six-year old boy who had
made a prior jump, frightened by
what he thought was blaze, under
the vehicle. She fell, striking her
head against the concrete surface of
the road. The boy escaped unhurt.
This mother was terrified by the
thought of oncoming motor cars which
might crush the life out f her boy.
Without seconds hesitation, she
went to his rescue and gave her life
in the act.
1t needs no eulogy to emphasize
the heroism of this extreme sacrifice.
1t contains the fullest measure of
motherly love-the strongest on earth,
no matter in what grade of existence
it is manifested. It counts no cost;
it over-looks all deficiences-even in
gratitude; it is increased at times, by
physical defect of offspring; it far out
weighs paternal attachment; it knows
no break in its solidity; it's bounded
by no period of time; only the last
breath breaks the tie.
So nothing but everlasting homage
to Mrs. Stiles. Hers was beautiful,
tho narrowing example of the cement
ed lives of mother and child. She de-
serves lasting memorial to her her.
oism, her self-sacrifice. Her people
should be proud of her; her county
glad of such women; her state, rejoice
in that it shelters such intense moth
hood. All honor that can be heaped
upon her, is due Mrs. Stiles.

"SHOWBOAT" TO
OPEN AT MARVA
MONDAY, 18th
Show Boat Is A Big Picture,
Packed With Excellent
Entertainment

This review of "Showboat," which
opens Monday, August 18th at the
Marva Theatre, should be set to music
keyed to the tempo of the Universal
picture. But there is no local Jerome
Kern or Oscar Hammerstein to per-
form that rhythmic feat.
The account should be tinged with
drama to match the story of "Show
Boat" But there is no Edna Ferber
here to give wings to words. There
should be moonlight; springtime ro-
nance. And there is. That element
is supplied by Irene Dunno and Allan
Jones on the Marva screen.
Music and romance and drama, fus-
ed together by magic that weaves an
enchanting spell. This briefly des-
cribes "Show Boat, which will sweep
across your emotions like the rush
ing tide Of the Mississippi.
What memories the Kern-Hammer-
stein songs bring back. What thrills
in the love story of Magnolia and
Ravena1, portrayed by Irene Dunno
and Allan Jones. There is the con-
vincing throb of life in the narrative,
peopled with $500 players on the
screen.
There is the rhythm of the ages
in Paul Robeson's songs, "Old Man
River" and All Still Suits Me-" Be-
hind his splendid robust baritone there
are pulsing waves of harmony SWELL
ing from 200 resonant voices that rise
and fall and beat like tree branches
vibrating in the wind. Or like ships
sails, billowing full, thrusting against
a swift-running sea.
There's Helen Morgan, the Julie
who captured audiences when she
sang "Bill'' and Cant Help Lovin'
That Man" on the stage. She gives
her screen role the same appealing
charm.
Charles Winninger, the show boat
Captain, possesses a warm human
friendliness that seems to reach out
and cheer up the whole world. His
wife, Partly, portrayed by Helen
Wesley, is sharply etched charac-
terization of lady with a talent for
uttering words that burst like fire
and birthstone.
There is the smart dancing of
Queenie Smith and Sammy White,
emphasized by a chorus of 4S beau
ties who probably learned to dance
as soon as they could walk. Sunnie
O'Dea offers a winsome performance
By now it must be clear that "Show
Boat" is big picture, packed with
excellent entertainment. It's whale
of picture. In fact, if you care for
a pun, it's James Whale of pic
ture. That capable gentleman direct
ed it.
