NORTER put David in a train
ing school at Washington.

Though the boy was not very
tall for his years, he made the
most of himself in every way, he
tried hard to make an impression
on the officers and instructors.
You can well believe the child
studied hard he wanted to
be a Navy officer.
Once he met the Secretary of
the Navy and that important
person liked David on sight. He
talked to him and found him
bright and ambitious. He said,
when you are ten years old I
shall make you Midshipman."
David was thrilled beyond
words besides he was then
nine and a half years old F.. he
hadn't long to wait.
The birthday present was a
real appointment and when the
Essex" sailed into the Atlantic
Ocean, Captain Porter was
aboard and so was David, now

herited his mothers bravery
his name was David.
About this time David's father
was made Sailing Master in the
American Navy. David was de-
lighted because the family moved
to a location near New Orleans
and his father often took the
seven-year-old David sailing. The
boy loved boats and was without
fear, even when the weather was
stormy and wild.
Then came a great sorrow to
the little home; the mother con-
tracted yellow-fever, while she
was nursing an old man David's
father had rescued from a lake.
The heroic woman died and the
father did not know where to
turn for assistance with his two
children.
But, strange thing happened
Captain Porter, Commander of
the Navy Station at New Orleans,
came to thank the unhappy
widower for his kindness to the
old gentleman whom he had res
cued. That man was Porter's
father.
Seeing the plight of the
motherless children, the Comman-
der offered to take David to train
him for a Navy career. Though
the father grieved to part with
his seven-year-old son, he let
him go.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Oct.

tionS in the county and the hand.

INCOME KEEPS
IN STEP WITH
L|V|NGC0ST


Income of workers other than
farmers and farm workers is
keeping pace with the cost of
living, the consumers counsel of
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
miniStration said today.
Non,farm income for July of
this year was the same as total
living costs, in proportion to the
1924-29 average, the counsel said.
That was 81 per cent of the
five year average.
While national income was
higher than living costs in 1929
income was points above the
5-year average, and living costs
was / point lower-this is the
first year since that nonfarm
income has caught up to living
costs.
Food Shows Big Change
In 1882. records of the con-
sumers' counsel revealed, income
was 81 per cent of the 5-year
average, living costs, 70 per cent.
In 1888, income was SO per cent.
living costs IS per cent; in 1884,
income, II per cent, living costs,
78 per cent, and in 1885, income,
IS per cent and living costs, 80
per cent.
Food has shown more drastic
changes in costs than other items
in the budget of living expenses,
the records show. The report says:
"Tn March, 1888, So cents
would buy IS much food as a
dollar would buy in the years
1924-29, and as much as S1.O4
would buy in September, 1929.
"Three years later, in July,
1886, food costs were 40 per cent
higher than in March, 1888
that is. it now takes S1.4O to
buy the food which 81 would
buy in March, 1888.
OTHER ITEMS SHIFT LITTLE
"DeSpite this major advance
in food prices since depression
lows, food still costs less than
it cost in 1929, or in the aver
age years, 1924-29.
Compared with the See-Saw
in food costs, costs of other
items in the family budget have
moved relatively little"
All living costs but food ad-
vanced less than 3 per cent be-
tween March, 1888, and July, 1885,
according to the consumer counsel
records.

Canadian Family
Moves Into Town Hall
When 0usted for Rent

WINDSOR, ontario, Oct. 6
G.N.SO .-Evicted from his home
for non-payment of rent, William
Gatson moved his wife, four chill
dren and two kittens into the
North Colchester township hall,
near here.
Township solonS were perplexed
over the situation today. They ex-
planned they could not turn the
GastonS, who are on relief, out
into the street at this time of the
year and that they had no funds to
rent another house for them.
Mrs. Castor, meanwhile, turned
the tiny town hall into a honey
residence, putting up curtains,
moving in the family's few belong
ings and setting up a makeShift
cooking range. She said she was
prepared to stay all winter.
The township officials are now
holding town meetings in a
school house.

AMOCKEAC MILLS
 STILL BOTHERED

Boston, June IO.-(UP)-Future of the closed Arnoskeag Manufac- turing company of Manchester, N. H., the country's single textile unit, was further clouded today when federal court hearing on proposed reorganization broke up in stale- mate.
 Master Arthur Black adjourned the hearing until Friday after coun- sel for Treasurer Frederic C. Du. maine announced unexpectedly that the company was withdrawing its reorganization plan because of the alleged urcooperative attitude of bondholders and recent flood dam ages.
 Attorney John L. Hill, for Du- maine, said the AiI1oskeag company would have only $4,10O,OO Con which to operate after bondholders whc had 50 elected had been paid ttld 42,300,000 they might receive by ex. changing each $100 par value of olc stock for 460A and one-half share ot new second preferred stock. Coupled with the indicated "cashing in" of holdings, Hall said, was the S2,5OO,, 900 that would have to be expended repair flood damages.

Republican Posters Hurt |O1Un Party Not Democrats

ing on a Chinese Now that isn't what you are supposed to see at all. In thec"J, the patient isn't a Chinese, t... the American public being whacked open by Roosevelt for more and bigger taxes. But you can bet that the American public isn't going to take the prostrate little figure on the operating table for itself. He's about two feet long, is yellow as a pressed daisy, has knocked knees, and the dizziest set of toes you ever saw. Now no true American wants to picture himself as looking like that, even if his hogs have been plowed under, his 1eph- ew killed by falling tree in a eco camp, and his rich uncle soaked with taxes.
 Moreover, any fair minded citizen is going to object to the treatment of Surgeon" Roosevelt in this poster.
 It was all right, perhaps, of the artists to dress him in an outfit that looks like something daddy wears on Halloween to scare the kiddies. But to equip him with nothing more suitable in the way of a scal- pei than a kitchen bread knife is going too far. I doubt if even the Mayo brothers, working in shifts, could perform anything more help- ful than damage with bread knife.
 Another of the posters, titled "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, !" shows the Messrs Roosevelt, Wal lace, Farley, and Hopkins riding bucking horses named "Propagan- da," Poverty" Politics." and Power" respectively. This poster carries geart message, no doubt, but you forget all about that in admiration for the riders ability to stay on the horses, for the artist has made their task as hard as possible. He's provided no saddles, in the first place and no riding clothes-just plain blue serge suits in the second. And the horses are really raising the devil. It looks a bit like the start of the derby.

Cleveland, June 10-A blistering attack on President Franklin D. Roosevelt's inability to perform a surgical operation on a Chinese and ride 8 bucking horse bareback, was launched today by the republican party, through means of gigantic posters.
 The posters, hung on the walls of the g.o.p publicity offices in con- vention hall, have the sweep of a da Vinci canvas, and the color of a comic strip on Sunday. They will be distributed about the nation, and 1t is this critics belief that they will do the republicans more harm than good.
 If the voters could gaze on the posters coldly, and read all the ex- planatory labels, they might be swayed. But that's impossible. They are so eye-gripping in design and execution that one overlooks their message.
 Take, for example, the one por- traying President Roosevelt operat-

LADY LYALL MAY
 KILL MARRIAGE

Hollywood. June 10-(UP)--Lady Nedda Lyall, English stage and screen actress, today contemplated asking local courts to annul her surprise marriage to Donald Mac Donald, film technical expert, SC they may be remarked later. <
 The titled actress and Macdonald were married at Tijuana, Mex, last Friday while visiting at the border resort. Lady Lyall said they went there for an outing and had no iI1- tentions of getting married.
 Someone suggested suddenly that we get married" she said. "It seemed like a good idea at the time and we went through with the cere- mony. On second thought, the whole thing seemed absurd, espe- cially being married without having our friends present.
 Tt is very possible that we may be married again here in a more formal ceremony with all our friends attending"
 She will seek the annulment on grounds they had not complied with Mexican laws in having the cere- mony performed.
