THE OLD LOVE
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

The old love shall look out from their
faces,
In that city so fair and so bright;
When we meet again with our loved
ones,
In that city of glory and light.
The old love that they had when they
left US,
Just the same as in glad days of
yore.
And there will never be any more
partings,
On that happy and bright golden
shore.
The old love just as true and as
faithful
And the faith that no conflict could
shake.
They will be waiting and watching to
greet us,
When in His likeness some day we
awake.
The old love and the spirit of courage
That helped so much on our way,
When the burdens we all have to
carry,
They shared with us day after day
The old love in the many mansions
In our Fathers house on high,
Will be ours forever and ever;
We will never say good-by.

BALLAD OF THE BONUS
By UNA cL1NGAN RANDs

They came back when the war was
over,
Back from the carnage and strife
Often to find themselves out of a job
And out of step with life.
For the world had gone on without
them;
Gone on in a strange, new way.
They We're given noisy welcome,
Then-too often-were left to stray
Some kind soul proposed bonus,
To make up for meager pay,
And help to tide them over
Till better, steadier day.
The nation first admitted
That it owed the soldiers debt,
Then made it the political orge,
And the politicians pet.
But now the bonus is with us,
(For those who have lived so long),
What will be it's meaning
To the eager, teeming throng?
All, here you will find rejoicing,
For now, may Heaven be praised,
That narrowing, nagging mortgage
On the homestead can be raised
"A brand-new roof for the kitchen,
To keep out the dripping rain"
"At last that operation
Surcease, perhaps, from pain"
Here it is met with sadness,
With bitterness born of the fate,
That hands what has been needed
But just trife too latei
car, and a bottle of whiskey;
An orgy, and a wreck;
Broken hearts in the morning,
Broken lives, and neck.
IAN education for daughter,
start in business for son."
"A new hope to give us courage,
Before life's journey is done"
And the bonus means to the merchant
Debts paid and business begun.
Let us hope that the wheels of progress
Once started, continue to run.
For the bonus should be a blessing
Though it can become a curse;
Let US all try to make things better
Instead of making them worse.

SPARK PLUG PLAYS IMPORTANT
PART

The spark plug may seem to be an
insignificant bit of equipment, but it
plays mighty important part in
making the car run smoothly and
economically. AS Arthur A. Arm
our, Hudson and Terraplane dealer
here, says: "Spark plugs can make
an old plug out of your car, or keep
it as fit as race horse.
eff the spark plugs are kept clean,
with the points properly adjusted, a
sweet-running motor will result,
providing the rest of the car is in
shape mechanically" said Mr.. Arm
our, "but if they are neglected, then
excessive gas consumption and even
a 'bucking' motor may be looked for.
Spark plugs should be cleaned
periodically, for any plug will be-
come at least partially fouled with
long service. Fouling consists in
coating the firing tip of the porcelain
to an extent which makes it easier
for the high tension ignition current
to pass along the porcelain to the
shell than it is to spark across the
gap between the electrodes. 1t may
be caused by excessive Oil in the
combustion chamber or by continu-
GUS operation at low speeds or long
periods of idling the engine"
Mr.. Armour emphasized the i'm
portance of using as far as possible
the same kind of plug as that used
in the original equipment, pointing
out that car manufacturers spend
considerable time and money to de-
termine the proper plug. However"
he said, mo one plug can suit all
operating conditions of a given en-
CINE, and changes in driving condi-
tions may occasionally demand
different kind of plug. The plug
specified for a given engine will not
cause pre-ignition under normal
operating conditions, but if the car
buretor mixture is lean or the igni-
ton timing late, pre-ignition may
occur"
Mr.. Armour stressed the import
ance of spark plug maintenance
from a standpoint of safety. with
safety being stressed more than
ever" he said, lit is important that
every motorist keep his car in the
best of driving condition, and a car
that is slow to accelerate, due to
fouled plugs. cannot be termed 2

CONOWINGO LAKE STOCKED
WITH BASS

The State Conservation Commits
sion has placed $4,000 small-mouth
bass in the lake at Conowingo dam.
In lieu of placing a fishway in the
dam, by means of which spawning
fish could get up the river past the
dam, the company operating the dam
pays to the commission the sum of
$4,000 annually, which has been
used to propagate the bass planted
there.

AUTOGRAPHS

Your autograph is your personal
ity personified According to experts
in penmanship you draw your pic
ture when you write your name.
Hand writing experts are often
called to testify in court cases con-
corning signatures or autographs
usually involved in forgery cases,
which is one of the leading crimes in
America. Famous autographs of
living men have been copied so ac-
curately that even the owner has had
difficulty in identifying his own
genuine signature. Facsimilies of
signatures are often seen on form
letters. They are usually rubber
stamped and on every dollar bill are
found the miniature signatures of
the Treasurer and the Secretary of
the Treasury of the United States.
King George rarely, if ever, gave his
autograph. 1t is almost impossible
to secure Col. Lindbergh's.
Probably the most famous and
largest collection of autographs may
be seen on the Declaration of indie
pendence which 1 believe has been
removed from the Library of Con-
gress to the Treasury Archives Build
ing on Constitution Avenue.
While the art of writing is a motor
habit and the art of penmanship
real accomplishment, handwriting is
rapidly falling into disuse. 1t is
said that no better results in teach
ing writing are obtained by schools in
which certain periods are given to
this study than in those in which the
child is left to his own devices. Ac-
cording to the World Almanac there
are $4,000 people in Maryland alone,
or 3.S per cent Of the population,
who are unable to read or write and
whose signature is cross mark, ac-
ceptable under the law. Nearly one
half of these people live in Balti-
more. Ria Khan Pahlevi, Shah of
Persia who can neither read nor
write, sits on the famous $150,00O,-
900 Peacock Throne.
One Of the favorite hobbies of
American people is autograph col
Letting, especially collecting the sig
natures of celebrities who say that
signing their names on programs,
cards, scraps of paper and shirt
fronts is their hardest and most pro-
vacative work. Collectors are adept
at inventing schemes for getting au-
tographs of famous personages.
A well known Eastern Shore
broker carries a pass to the Wash
ington Baseball Park signed by
Clark Griffith and autographed by
Jack Dempsey. And on the PENN
sula there are number of very fine
collections including those of Mar
garet Jefferson of fredericksburg,
Charlotte Truitt of Bridgeville and
Cecilia Shaw of Pocomoke City.
Look through your old letters,
papers, and books and you will, no
doubt, find some valuable old auto
graphs with which you can start
your collection.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, January 2l.-Many
share prices trickled lower today in
the quietest stock market in more
than a month.
A few divisions, such as aircrafts,
metals and sugars, found a following
at slightly better levels at times, but
the majority of leaders slipped down
fractions. and few as much as a
point or so.
The closing tone was about steady.
Transact IN the stock exchange
totaled around 100000 shares.
The cessation of London financial
dealings and the short hours adopted
by important commodity markets here
tended to keep trading to minimum
from the first. A narrowly lower range
was the rule for the majority of prices
throughout the day.
Cotton was ahead 20 to IS cents q
bale at the earlier closing, while wheat
was unchanged to u of cent q
bushel lower, and corn surrendered u
to Is of a cent. Bonds were quiet
and mixed. Leading foreign currencies
were steady against the dollar.

%ing a delightful vacation at
Crotch Island, Me, according
to a dispatch.
The Italian Ambassador, Au-
gusto Rosso, Decio de Moura,
of the Brazilian Embassy, and
Robert Thatch were in a deep
conversation when we saw
them the other day in the May
flower lounge. Also there at
the time were Judge Ferdinand
Pecora, Mrs. Celeste Crosby
Miller Cor else her double), in
a summary frock, and Samuel
Becker.
The John Patterson Brooks
left Washington in January
with the intention of taking a
three months trip around the
world.
They arrived home yester-
day. 1t appears that even
though they (before they were
married she was Marianne
Read) had each been to Cali
fornia many times before, it
seemed more appealing and
enchanting than ever. So they
prolonged their stay there at
least 10 days.
Then, w h en- tn ir liner
reached India, where they had
imagined they would only
spend a short time, they lin
gered on and on. And so it
was with Egypt and finally
France, with headquarters in
Paris, til ey spent a month
making little trips through
that fascinating country. Their
favorite method Of travel, when
not aboard ship, was by air
plane and, perhaps, had it not
been for the speed of plane
they would still be on the
other side of the globe.
They are at home now in
their residence on Wisconsin
Avenue and have with them
their coal black great dane,
who answers to the name of
Demon. Demon spent the time
while his youthful master and
mistress were circling the
world, with Pats parents in
South Carolina.
