UNPRECEDENTED
CROWDS APPEAR
AT OCEAN CITY
The Narrow Strip Of Beach In
adequate To Accommodate
Holiday Army Of Visitors

1t is impossible to estimate the holi-
day crowd that thronged Ocean City,
Maryland's popular Ocean resort, over
the 18th. Wild guesses have placed it
anywhere between $4,000 and 100000.
1t is safe to say hotels and restaurants
did a thriving business and the board
walk was constant scene of activity
while concessions and amusement
features drew their share of patrons.
All day Sunday the road leading
from Berlin to Ocean City was filled
with a procession of cars and later in
the day the traffic was terrific, cars
standing in line and moving along at
a snail's pace, constantly stopping and
starting.
Taken as whole it was, after all,
a good natured holiday crowd that
thronged the beach and enjoyed the
excellent bathing facilities the re-
sort offers. No major accidents were
The resort is deserving of it's pop
ularity. The Spirit of the Eastern
Shore breathes courtesy and hospital
ity and brings every visitor under its
spell. 1t has cosmopolitan atmos-
phere with fine hotels and cottages;
the beach is gently sloping and only
the extremely venturesome are ever
in danger. The surf attracts thous-
ands daily and the temperature of the
water is higher than at resorts farther
north.

Well, Sir, my old friend and cor

measly, NANCY pup. And, further
more, the number is growing by leaps
and bounds, and blest if we won't be
afraid to eat hot dogs pretty soon.
Owing to the rise in meat prices, peo-
pie will suspect a resort to cheaper
materials for the picnic commodity,
and they will be 'hot dogs" in the
truest sense of the term.
If there is any proof needed of the

call upon those living in the neigh

CHINCOTEACUE CASINO
FEATURING PHIL HARVEY

Featuring Phil Harvey and the mu-
sic of his orchestra, the Seaview Ca
sino, Chincoteague, Virginia, has ar
ranged for two dances on successive
Wednesday nights. The first of these
dances will be held on Wednesday,
July IA, the second, one week later.
Phil Harvey's music is we'll known
and apparently we'll liked on the Eas-
tern Shore as he has been in demand
for some of the most successful
dances in this section.
The management of the Seaview
Casino is redecorating the dance hall
and making other improvements in an
ticipation of these events.

TlUo Bridges To Be
Built On Eastern Sho'

The State Roads Commission has
applied to Washington for permission
to build two bridges on the Eastern
Shore, one over the Sinepuxent Bay to
Ocean City and the other across Cam
bridge creek, at Cambridge. The two
bridges are to cost about 100000 and
were authorized at the 1887 session of
the Legislature.
The Ocean City bridge will connect
the shore resort with the mainland,
carry four lanes of traffic and will
have a clearance for navigation of
nearly twenty feet.
The Cambridge span will cross the
creek on the eastern edge of the city.

THE ALL-STAR
ANNUAL CLASSIC
PLAYED WE'D.
The American League Exhibits
Marked Superiority Over
The Older Organization
DEAN AND HUBBELL FARE
BADLY IN THEIR HURLING

Inc World series OF games OF DdSe
ball has been frequently referred to
as the classic of the National pastime,
inasmuch as it is staged between the
two teams of the Major Leagues
which have won out in the seasons
championship of the National and the
American Leagues.
But five years ago the idea was con-
ceived to put on once year what has
been called an All-Star game, and
this has assumed as much prominence
and seems to contain as much interest
for the fans. On Wednesday last, the
fifth game was played. The American
League won by the score of 8 to 3,
and thus register four wins out OF
five battles.
This game was played in Washing
ton, D. c., before $1,000 people includ-
ing the President of the United States,
who tossed out the ball to start the
play. This ball was recovered by Bar
tell, one of the National players, who
started toward the Presidents box
to have it autographed by the Chief
executive. He was stopped by the
Secret Service men and Clark Grit
fifth, of the Washington club had in
intercede for Bartel to secure the COW
eted name.
Before this contest, critics sized it
up as a struggle between splendid
pitching on the part of the Nationals
against terrific smuggling on the part
of the Americans. But, as it turned
out, the American pitching was in
finitely superior and the American
players lived up to their reputation
as sluggers. Dean and Hubbel, rated
top-notchers in the National League,
were easy for their opponents and
the result of the contest was never in
doubt after Gehrig landed on one of
"Dizzy's" offerings for a home run
in the third inning, sending DiMaggio
in ahead of him.
Six pitchers were used by the Ma
tionals to stop the fusilade, but they
all seemed to fold up when facing
the bats of the American bat wielders.
Three hurlers were used by the Ameri-
cans leach going three innings, as had
ben arranged by the clubs. But the
rough way in which the Nationals
were used necessitated six moundsmen
in an attempt to stop the blasting.
The next all-star game will be stag
ed, probably in Cincinnati. Every seat
in the Washington ball park was sold
out for Wednesdays contest as re-
served seats. This classic gives the
fans an opportunity to see the noted
players of both major organizations
in action, and in that respect rivals the
World Series, since the latter presents
only the players of the two clubs.
The result of Wednesdays contest
seems to merit the prediction that
New York is going to be hard to beat
in the fall when the World Series
comes off. Six of the Yankees play
ed Wednesday and it was due to these
that the batting spree materialized.
If the old tradition holds good, that
'the team in the League ahead on
July 4th will win the pennant in that
League" then New York and Chicago
will be the contenders in the World
Series. These two should make base
ball history when they meet.

Color of Eyes, Sunsets,
Due to Scattering Light

NAC ~ SSGASSSA AAA6 AA6 A4S
Blue eyes are not really blue, nor
red sunsets really red.
The apparent color is due to the
scattering Of light when the photons
hit against extremely minute par
ticles. 1t takes place only when the
diameter of the obscuring particles
Is small in comparison to the wave
length Of the light. For this reason
light in the blue end Of the spectrum
is scattered more than light in the
red end, asserts a writer in the
Washington Star. -.s
This principle was worked out
more than a half century ago by
the English physicist, Lord Ray
leigh.
Thus the sun appears red when
viewed through thick smoke fog,
but white through fog in the coun-
try consisting of water droplets. Wa
ter drops are too large to produce
true scattering. Their action is in
the nature of diffraction and refec-
ton, which is almost equally effec-
tive for all wave lengths. Hence
water drops appear white, whether
viewed by reflected or direct solar
radiation.
Other examples of structural col
ors, which are produced by scatter
ing phenomena are the red color of
the sunset, the colors of bird feath-
ers, the blue color of the sky, or Of
SKINNED milk. This blue is now
known as Tyndal blue. There is
no blue pigment in blue eyes and it
was pointed out by the English
physicist Tyndal years ago that the
blue of the eye is really the blue
of turgid media and is analogous to
the blue of the sky or the blue Of
skinned milk.

First Spoons in america
Date as Far Back as 1924

The first form of spoon which we
associate with America is the Puri-
tan spoon, writes Alice r. Rollins
in the Los Angeles Times. John
Hull of Boston (1624-1683) made
such spoons. Other early silver
smiths were John Coney (1655-1722)
John Edwards (1670-179) and the
patriot Paul Revere t1735-1818).
Spoons with fiat handles, the ends
trifid OF notched, were made I'M
til about 1870. The 173O-1750 spoons
are distinguished by the rat-tail, So
called from a well-defined ridge ex-
tending down the back of the bowl
resembling the tail of a rat. About
1850 the tail was cut off and what
we know as the drop or double drop
was substituted. Soon after this the
bowl became more pointed and the
handles turned back instead of
toward the front.
In the first part Of 100 a new
form of spoon appeared. The handle
still bent forward but it was thicker
and more rounded at the top and
down the middle of. the front was a
decided ridge. Seventeen hundred
and thirty marks the beginning Of
the bright-cut decoration. Coffin
handles belong to the first ten years
of 1900. Then we have the fiddle
back handles with which we are all
more or less familiar.
Previous to the Revolution many
Of our silversmiths marked their
work by impressing their initials or
initial and surname. For some time
after the war, in order to satisfy
their patrons who might prefer Eng
ish silver, they simulated certain
Of the English marks such as the
anchor, the lion and the crown. That
is why we find some Of our early
silver so marked.

Cheese Is Divided Into
Two Glasses: Hard. Soft

Basically, cheese may be divided
into two classes, hard and soft. So
called hard cheese, in turn can be
subdivided into three kinds, made
respectively from whole milk, skim
milk or double cream. From that
point on the pundits can agree on
nothing except that the funda-
mental processes of manufacture
are about the same for all kinds.
Possibly the most celebrated proc
ess is carried on in Roquefort,
France. The cheese which bears
the name Of its birthplace is made
from the milk of ewes according to
method said to be 300 years old.
Limburger is actually named for
a town in Belgium, but it is made in
many countries of Northern Europe
and also in the United States.
Swiss cheese, with its distinctive
"eyes," is from Switzerland. The
'eyes," as probably every child
knows are caused by gas bubbles
formed during the fermentation per-
iod.
Much imported cheese comes
from Italy. One popular brand is
Gorgonzola, the dictator Of
cheese" whose history goes back to
Fifteenth century Milan. Another
Italian variety, Parmesan, has held
wide esteem as a condiment ever
since Talleyrand introduced it into
the French cuisine.

THE EYES HAVE IT

Eyes, to be beautiful, do not have
to be large or of unusual shape or
of exquisite coloring. The plainest
face may be very attractive If it is
enhanced by a pair of sparkling
eyes. with the whites clear and the
irises sharply defined.
The surest way to brighten your
eyes Is to make yourself gloriously
healthy. Eyes mirror ones physical
condition. Eat wholesome foods,
exercise vigorously, and get at least
eight hours of sleep every night.
Nine times out of ten it's the girl
with "come-hither" eyes who has the
longest list of names in her date
book.
The Eyes Setting
The most perfect eyes will not
qualify for beauty laurels If the set
ting is not complimentary. Little
crinkles around the eyes make them
look weary and listless. Dark circles
or puffs cause the eyes to look
smaller-as well as giving the APP
pearance of late hours and dissipa.
tion which may not be the actual
cause at all.
The delicate tissues that surround
the eyes should be given sufficient
nourishment. Strain. nervous ex-
haustiOn, fatigue or worry cause a
rapid breaking down of the skin
cells. The many intense emotions
felt during the day-anger. fear,
surprise. annoyance draw the skin
into a thousand wrinkles and
creases. If the skin is well nOur
ished, such lines disappear when the
face is In repose. If the tissues are
under-nOurished, each time you
smile or frnWn the lines will hecnmP

more deeply etched, presenting an
appearance of undue age caused by
the network of lines.
These lines can be prevented or
erased only by improving the condi-
ton of the tissues themselves by
daily. nourishment. A good rich
cold cream may be applied nightly
before retiring. The cream should
be patted in very lightly on the un-
der-eye skin. Great care should be
taken to avoid rubbing this delicate
skin roughly because the skin is
easily loosened and4stretched, caus-
ing the wrinkles to become deeper
and more numerous. The use of
cream replaces natural oil to give
the skin elasticity.
The Eyelashes
Artificial eyeIashes, devised in the
interest of feminine beauty. have
proved a boon to the stage and
screen stars. but they should not
be used for everyday wear. Bright
light of day only reveals their ex-
aggeration and artiticiality.
Naturally. you can't acquire beau
tiful eyelashes overnight. but by
perseverance you can 7astly Inn
prove them. Plain vaseline or odor-
less and tasteless castor oil are eff
fective in the promotion Of growth
of the lashes. A bit of either should
be applied every night. Brush the
oil upward. away from the eyes.
This procedure will tend to curl the
lashes Oiling and brushing proper
ly every day will amply reward you
with natural, longer lashes that
won't come off at night when you
cleanse your face.

Indians Used Shell Money

The Indians used shell money or
wampum as their medium of ex-
change. In the manufacture of these
shell beads much patient labor and
q marked degree of skill and careful
manipulation were required. Their
manufacture was apparently not
confined to any class of persons
among the natives. In New Eng
land and along the Atlantic sea-
board wampum was chiefly of two
eolors: The white, and the violet or
purple, which latter varied in shade
from pale or pink violet to dark
rich purple. The value of these shell
beads was determined by their color
and degree of finish. In form they
were cylindrical, being from about
one-eight to three-sixteenths inch in
diameter, and from one-eight to
seven sixteenths inch in length.
Wampum very early became a med
ium of exchange at fixed values be-
tween the whites and Indians, not
only in merchandise, but also in
dollars and cents.
