VIENNA PLANT TROUBLE
LAID TO ITS INSULATORS

Paul N. Holland, chief engineer of
the Public Service Commission, said
recently that an investigation by a
commission engineer convinced him
that recent power failures at the Wen
ma plant of the Eastern Shore Pub
lie Service Company were due to cleo
trical failure of insulators.
Commenting on report by Charles
E. Thornton, assistant commission en-
gineer, Holland said it was apparent
that SCOT and dirt on the insulators,
combined with thick fog and rain
at the time of service interruption
Sept. 80, had caused short circuits, or
"flash-overs."
He said the suspicion of sabotage"
along the company's lines, "was alb
solutely unfounded."
Four power failures within ten
day period, he explained, had led to
the belief on the part of some COM
pany officials that the wires had been
tempered with.
Thornton reported to Holland he
had arrived at the Vienna plant on
Oct. and conferred with various Of
ficials, H. w. Sterling, the company's
general engineering superintendent.
Thornton said he made thorough
inspection at the Vienna plant and
later went to Salisbury for a further
investigation.
At the Vienna plant, he said he and
Sterling "spent practically the entire
morning in reviewing what had taken
place."
ave examined numerous open insu-
lators from the supports which had
failed" Thornton continued, "all Of
them were quite dirty, particularly on
the under side, although the top sur
faces were fairly clean.

On Wednesday night of last week
the second meeting of the Club was
held, and addresses were made by
Wallace M. Quinn, chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee.
Robert H. Jones, of Paramount, and
Charles F. Richardson, Of Crisfield.
This meeting, held in the Jones hall
at Paramount, was enthusiastic from
start to finish, and the women coming
to the Club are eager and anxious to
show that the organization will be a
big asset to the Democratic party in
the county, and especially will it be
efficient and valuable in Paramount,
where most of it's efforts will be con-
centrated.
On Thursday evening October 18th
another meeting was scheduled and it
was expected that a number of new
members were added to the rolls.

Adventurous Criticism.

Much of the criticism which circulates
in the world is notably adventurous IN
character. For example, Prof. Edward
Samuel Corwin of Princeton University
recently "took a chance" when ne
charged that the bas-reliefS OF one OF
the bronze doors of the new Supreme
Court Building are inaccurate. One
panel, he said, shows Chief Justice John
Marshall handing his famous Marbury
VS.. Madison decision to Associate Justice
William Story. Another he particularly
complained about on the theory that it
depicts King John of England signing
the Magma Charta.
But in both instances Prof. Corwin
was mistaken. There is no reference to
the Marbury- Madison incident in the
Marshall and Story panel. and King
John Is represented in the act of sealing
mot autographing-the fundamental
charter of British liberties AS David
Lynn, architect of the Capitol, remarks.
the critic certainly cannot ever have
seen the works he has libeled. Personal
inspection of the doors would have saved
him an embarrassing excursion into ex-
travagant error. As matters stand. how
ever, he owes an apology to John Dom
nelly, the artist he held up to public
ridicule. @
Also II may b that Prcf. Corwin
should hays remembered that the nsw

Democrats Desert Labor
To Fix Political Fences

70 the Dditor Of The star:
Labor was not always 20 sullible-not
always 30 easily hoodwinked as 1t seems
to be these days.
Consider the efforts put forth in behalf
Of the 100000 soft coal miners. They
were led to believe that the Federal
Government could provide remedy for
their troubles.
The order went forth to pass the Gufiey
coal bill, even If it were Of doubtful con-
stitutionality. This meant that the
miners were to be bamboozled into be-
lieving that they were to have remedy
whether they had it or not.
The legislative tinkersmiths obeyed
orders. The bill was framed and passed
regardless-in the face Of evident in
validity. 1t was plain that it could not
receive the approval of our highest court.
When the time came. that court found
1t to be null and void.
But one justice pointed out that part
OF 1t could be re-enacted in another bill.
The House prepared such . bill. The
head of the miners union approved it
said he wanted it. The bill passed the
House.
Then 1t went to the Senate. It was
side-tracked by the tax bill. It was
further shunted aside by other bills.
Finally 1t came up. Date of the Demo-
cratic National Convention drew nigh
and Congress had to adjourn just before
that time. Taking advantage of the OPP
portunity, q Democratic Senator fill
bustered against the coal bill and pre-
vented its passage. Then Congress shut
up shop and departed.
There was no time limit that required
Congress to adjourn then. The House
could have blocked the Senate filibuster
by resembling the resolution to adjourn
and substituting one for recess, which
would have kept the Senate also In re-
cess. In any event, Congress might have
been brought back in special session after
the convention.
Returning from the convention the
Senate could have let the filibustering
member talk himself to exhaustion and
then passed the bill easily with its over
whelming Democratic majority control.
But labor was deserted and forgotten.
The Democrats were more interested in
rushing home and fixing up their politi-
cal fences.
Such treatment Of labor in years gone
by would have aroused justif1able re-
sentiment. Yet it is reported that the
leader Of the duped and deserted miners
Is trying to deliver the solid soft coal
miners vote to such unreliable Demo-
cratic friends.
Labor should not put its trust in politi-
clans. Its sure progress and lasting bene-
flts have come and can come only
through its organized. determined efforts
to get its fair and rightful share

St. Paul Was Probably
Victim of Poor Vision

To the Editor of The Star:
In Wednesdays Star correspondent
is informed that probably all Of st. Paul's
epistles were dictated except three
Philemon, Titus and Timothy. Yet In
the epistle to the Galatians Paul writes
tGal, vi.1D, aye see how large . letter
have written unto you with mine own
hand" The revised version says, with
how large letters" "but with mine own
hand" appears in both versions. It is
supposed that Paul had defective vision,
perhaps due to the binding light which
struck him on the way to Damascus
facts, ix.3-18), and that therefore he was
obliged to dictate to amanuenses whose
names he often gives. The epistle to the
Galatians. whether in large letters" or
not, was evidently written In Paul,s own
hand and may be called large not be-
cause Of its length. but because Il was
"largs letter. 70 b written by Pauls
own hand. y. D. HASTINGS.

Britain in Palestine.

Great Britain unmistakably means
business, as far as the Arab revolt against
its mandate power in Palestine Is con-
cerned. Appointment of Lieut.. Gen.
Dill, World War veteran and former chief
of military intelligence at the war office,
to the supreme command in the Holy
Land Is tangible token Of London's
intention to come to grips vigorously
with the reign of terror which has held
sway for the past several months under
the guise of Arab protest against the
sale Of land to Jews and their admission
to the country. Coincident with Gen.
Dill's supersession of Sir Arthur Grenfell
Wauchope, the British high commits
sioner, whereby civil administration is
to be supplanted by military rule, the
British government has ordered q divi-
sion of $1,000 additional troops to be
held in readiness for service in Palestine.
The communique announcing these
measures warns all concerned that more
rapid and effective action must now be
taken" to end disorders.
Thus the British government evinces
its firm resolve to fulfn it's obligations
under the Balfour declaration. which
guarantees the establishment and pro-
lection of a national homeland for the
oppressed Jewry of the world. London
has always recognized the indispen-
stability of peace and friendly co-opera-
ton between Jew and Arab in the COM
mon task of rebuilding Palestine, but is
not minded any longer to tolerate the
turbulence and violence Of which the
Arab Nationalists have recently been
guilty. Since last April, when the latter
called q general strike as an anti-Jewish
protest, hundreds Of Arabs and Jews
have been killed in sporadic riots, while
British and Arab soldiers have fallen
clashes between troops and police forces.
Britain's decision to apply a stronger
hand follows the decision of the Arab
Supreme Committee to continue the gen.
eral strike, with its threat Of prolonged
strife, bloodshed and wholesale deStruc-
ton of property, especially the sabotage
Of orchards and growing crops. Several
weeks ago the British thought to pour
oil on the troubled waters by estab-
fishing a Royal Commission to investi-
gate the situation and make recon-
mendations for removing grievances, but
the Arabs defiantly proclaimed they
would not sheathe the sword of revolt
until the doors of Palestine were de-
finitely closed to immigrants.
With anti-Semitism relentlesSly on the
march in Europe, as just evidenced by
Chancellor Hitler's renewed attacks on
Judaism, it is essential in the highest
degree that Palestine be kept an open
haven for prosecuted members OF that
race. They are more than ever entitled
to expect respect for their covenanted
rights there because friend and foe alike
are agreed that they have economically
regenerated that ancient land on q truly
remarkable scale and in every way con-
tributed to its development. Britain's
plans to safeguard legitimate Jewish in
terests in Palestine will command cordial
sympathy in this country.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcEWELL.

What Is 20 rare as . September day7
Then. II ever, anything may happen
in the weather line, but always with
happy results.
II it is cool, It is wonderful.
II 1t is hot, there Is . different some
thing to the air.
II the sun shines, 1t is a beaming sun;
II the rain falls, it is rain Of q special
kind.
Now the grass takes on different tints
Of velvet green, as If the unseen hand o1
some magician, instead Of doing silly
tricks with rabbits and hats, brought
forth different values In colors to amaze
and astound the discriminating.
All things, from the beginning, have
been made for the discriminating.
They are the connoisseurs Of life, the
real masters Of living, for no matter
what happens, they are able to stop, 1n
the midst Of it, and say, at least to
themselves, why, this Is happening
to me-"
September, annual show, happens Il
and for all Of us.
1t is the month almost all people
appreciate. AS much cannot be said
for other months. Snow and ice have
their haters. The dull heat Of mid-Sum-
mer is not relished by all.
Almost every one likes September, and
the reason Is not far to seek.
1t is all around you.
The day Is the thing, the night Is the
thing, the air and the weather and the
temperature are the things.
This month, and this one alone, has
the happy faculty, 1t would seem, OF
making almost every one like what 1t
brings.
Now new varieties of grasses in abey-
ance during the heat, push their fresh
green shoots above the normal cut of
the lawn.
These, in many cases, lay dormant for
weeks on end, crowded out by the more
fiourishing June grass" as some call
the wide bladed variety so prevalent
hereabouts.
Now, along with the wild onions, they
seek the light, to do their duty toward
making the Fall and Winter lawn what 1t
ought to be.
Even those who do not like the smell
of onion and garlic, yet can find some
thing wild and pungent In the little
onions, so called, which crop up now
in brave array.
Unless these are too dominant, they
are not a bad note in the assembly, and
probably do good things to the turf, if
the general belief about these strong
smelling things is true. Many persons
believe that onions are a cure-all. almost,
for everything under the sun. They are
said to contain many metallic salts in
organic form readily assimilated by the
system. No doubt these same metals
are good" for the earth and the
creatures growing in it. They help make
the good earth good.
Toadstools, too, at this time Of year,
suddenly appear in the best kept lawns.
They seem to spring up overnight.
Most Of them are poisonous, the average
lawn maker will be willing to believe
He will refuse them the credit of being
mushrooms, and he will be right. These
plants are interesting, but rather dam
gerous. AS has been pointed out so many
times, the amateur always makes a mis-
take when he thinks he can distinguish
between the edible mushrooms and the
poisonous ones.
They are fascinating plants, however,
in their way. Only recently a manual

Meanwhile, certain overburdened tax
payers may be interested to read the

Confucius employed five centuries before
Christ to describe prudent rulers Of their

world. put their states in proper order.
Before putting their states in proper
order they regulated their families. Be-
fore regulating their families they cul.
tivated their own selves. Before culti-
waiting their own selves they perfected
their souls. Before perfecting their souls
they tried to be sincere in their thoughts.
Before trying to be sincere in their
thoughts they extended to the utmost
their knowledge. Such extension Of
knowledge lay in the investigation Of
things and seeing them as they really
were. When things were thus investi-
gated knowledge became complete. When
knowledge became complete their
thoughts became sincere. When their
thoughts were sincere their souls be-
came perfect. When their souls were
perfect their own selves became culti-
waited. When their selves were culti-
waited their families became regulated.
When their families were regulated their
states came to be put in proper order.
When their states were in proper order
the whole world became peaceful and
happy"
