SENATE SPLIT
ON 40 PCT"
RELIEF PLAN
international News Service

AntefnatlOnhA CNe"b SSANAC7
With its Democratic ranks split
the Senate today faced a major
battle over a provision Of the
$1,500,0o0,000 relief bill, calling
for mandatory local contributions
to the cost of all non-Federal WPA
relief projects.
President Roosevelt was injected
directly into the contest when foes
of the provision charged it would
be a reflection on him after he
has expended 10000 million dol
lars of relief funds without any
legislative restrictions. The PreSi-
dent widened the party split by
opposing the provision.
The effort to force a greater
local responsibility in caring for
the unemployed was written into
the bill by the Senate Appropria-
tons Committee. 1t would force
local communities to put up 40
per cent of the cost of non-Fed-
eraI projects but allow the Presi-
dent to reduce the local contribu-
ton in any case were the COM
munity had trouble raising it.
Court Bill Delayed
The Administrator hoped to de-
feat the proposal and finally en-
act the relief bill by tomorrow
night. Behind it lay the Admin
iStration tax bill, modified by the
Senate Finance Committee to ex-
tend the expiring nuisance" taxes
for one more year. several depart
mental appropriation bills and the
Presidents Supreme Court bill.
Administration leaders made 1t
plain the Supreme Court bill
would not be called up in the
Senate until all the necessary ap-
preparation and revenue measures
have been enacted.
Aliens Face Dismissal
American citizens must be given
preference over aliens in WPA
projects under an amendment to
the relief bill adopted by the Sen
ate yesterday.
Aliens on relief rolls who have
filed declarations of intention to
become citizens prior to passage
of the pending measure, would
be given secondary consideration
in relief jobs.
The amendment directs those
in charge Of WPA projects to rid
their rolls Of all aliens who have
not taken out first citizenship
papers prior to enactment Of the
bill.

PUTS STRESS ON
GOOD CONDITION
Protection Against Hazards Rea-
lied In Good Care Of
Your Automobile

With traffic hazards increased thru
out the country during warm weather
months due to a larger number of We
hicles on American highways, D. E.
Ralston, general sales manager of
Oldsmobile, emphasizes the import
ance to the motorist of keeping his
car in the best possible running con-
dition.
eff the average motorist would do
all in his power to maintain his car
in the condition it was furnished him
by the manufacturer, we would see
leveling of the accident curve which
always rises at this time of the year,
Mr.. Ralston points out.
Automobile manufacturers for q
number of years have done all in
their power to provide cars that are
as safe as possible; that is why today
we have safety glass, super-hydraulic
brakes, better visibility and lighting
facilities; Unisteel Turret Top bodies,
and other features designed to pro-
mote safety.
"These features are largely wasted,
however, unless they are properly
looked after by the driver of the car.
And the drivers mental condition,
logically enough, is just as important
a safety feature as the many me-
chanical developments introduced by
car manufacturers"
Mr.. Ralston explains that only a
very small percentage of serious ac-
cidents have been traced by police Of
ficials to mechanical failure of We

DISCOURSES ON
TRENCH MOUTH
Disease Is Carried By Presence
In The Mouth Of Two Spec
ific Kinds Of Germs

Asked to explain what is meant by
trench mouth" DR.. Richard C. Leo
nard, Chief of the Division of Oral
Hygiene of the State Department of
Health, said:
I'm considering mouth health, too
often there is tendency to limit ones
thoughts to the teeth and preventing
their loss, partially or entirely, from
decay. But important as the preven-
ton of tooth decay is, it is also es-
sential that the health of other mouth
tissues be maintained. In addition to
the teeth and jaw bones, the mouth is
comprised of various soft tissues, form
ing the palates, cheeks, tongue and
gums. Any, or all, of these may be
the seat of disease that may not only
be uncomfortable locally but may have
a serious systematic connection.
Zone of the more common diseases
of these soft tissues is 'Vincents of
the mouth commonly called trench
mouth; germ disease that is infec-
tious and, accordingly, far more pre-
valent that it is usually thought.
Trench mouth is caused by the active
presence in the mouth of two specific
kinds of germs. While these germs
are often,-indeed, usually-found in
all mouths, they do not become active
enough to produce the disease until
lowered systemic resistance, unclean
mouth conditions or some other mouth
disease, allows the germs to multiply
so rapidly that the defense forces of
the body cannot cope with them.
Activity of these germs to a point
of disease, results-among many symp
toms-in bleeding and sore gums, bad
breath and finally, in ulcers of the
soft tissues. Of course, not all bleed
ing and sore gums nor all bad breath
are due to Vincents (trench MOUTH
Diagnosis should depend upon exami-
nation by a competent dentist. His
treatment will be based on his opinion
of contributing factors. It will consist
of treatment by the dentist and of
painstaking home cure under his ad-
vice.
"The disease is an important one
because Of its prevalence, infectious
ness and, in some cases, fatal results.
It may be contracted by the promiscu-
Gus use of eating utensils, that have
not been thoroughly cleansed, or in
the use of common drinking cups and
from insanitary drinking fountains.

DEPARTMENT STORES
OFFER ATTRACTIONS

Department stores in Pocomoke are
staging their annual midsummer
clearances now, right at the peak of
the season, when there are still two
months of hot weather ahead.
Montgomery Ward, J. c. Penney
and Scher's, by advertisement in this
weeks issue, are offering some remark
able values in all lines of merchandise.
These advertisements should be of in
terest to everyone as they offer many
money-saving opportunities.

also purchased the stock of Fields and

ent issue of this paper and by cir
culars have announced their "going out
of business" sale.

HOMECOMING
CELEBRATIONS
IN VA. PLACES
Chincoteague And Tangier Pre-.
pairing For Big Crowd At
Anniversaries

Two big Homecoming events are
in the offing to be celebrated by near
by Island towns in Virginia. Both
Chincoteague Island and Tangier are
making big preparations to entertain
former residents of the Islands who
have in the intervening years been
scattered far and wide.
Chincoteague will celebrate it's
Home Coming day with their annual
Pony-Penning event. This will take
place Thursday, July 20, and invita-
tons are being mailed to all former
residents to "come home" The day
will be an outstanding one in the his
tory of the Island as thousands of Wis
itors from many states will attend the
annual Pony-Penning. The Firemen's
Carnival with all its attractions will
also offer entertainment and a water
carnival, sponsored by the U. S. Coast
Guard Station will also be featured.
Other attractions will include pony
races, boat races, prize fights, and
quantities of good things to eat. The
hospitality of the Island will be Of
fered to home-comers and visitors a.
like and everybody will join in the
fun.
Great preparations are also being
made for Home Coming at Tangier
which will be celebrated on Friday,
August 9Th thru Sunday, August 9Th.
Congressman S. Otis Bland and
Hon. j. D. Price, both outstanding Vir
ginians, will speak Friday afternoon
at A o'clock. Saturday will be de-
voted to fishing, visiting, Grabbing,
bathing and other entertainment Of
fered by the Island. On Sunday, at
$3.50 o'clock two Marylander's will ad-
dress the gathering. These are Hon.
j. Willard Tawes, of Crisfield and
Hon. Harry T. Phobeus, of Princess
Anne.
More home folks and more visitors
are expected to attend this year than
ever before. Special boats will run
frequently from the Mainland to the
Island and accommodations will be
made for the hundreds of visitors who
will attend Home-C Coming at Tangier.

hicles, whereas larger number have
been directly traceable to driver negli-
gence, either at the time of an acct
dent or in not keeping his car in the
best possible running order.
The best brakes that automobile
engineers have been able to design
are of no use to a driver unless he
applies those brakes in time" Mr. Rails
ton admonishes. Likewise those
brakes are of no use to the driver if
he has allowed them to become I'M
equal or otherwise out of adjustment
or repair"
Good braking facilities often are
impaired by worn tires or worn brake
Innings. Likewise a burned out head
lamp often is the cause of collision.
A windshield wiper that worked when
the car left the factory is no good
if it is allowed to fall into disuse thru
negligence. Car windows designed for
increased visibility are no good if
cluttered with stickers or mud and
grease spots. A safe steering mech
anism improperly adjusted or not prop
erly frightened becomes less safe.
Manufacturers have done and are
doing all in their power to provide
the public with safe transportation
facilities, Mr.. Ralston concludes.

COUNTY AGENT
GIVES ADVICE IN
SOIL BUILDING
Particular Attention Should Be
Given In Flowing Under Var
iOus Plant Leavings

Farmers of Worcester county who
are cooperating in the 1887 Agricul-
tural Conservation program are urged
by R. T. Grant, County Agent, to con-
slider additional soil-building prac-
tees which may be carried out on
their farms prior to October 81. at
is desired that each farmer cooperat-
ing in the 1887 program take advan-
tage of the opportunity offered for
soil conservation by making full use
of the soil-building allowance for his
farm" Mr.. Grant said.
Under the 1886 program approved
soil-building practices were carried
out in Maryland on 42S,SOO acres, as
follows: Legumes seeded, 299,5OO
acres; perennial grasses seeded, 1900
acres; green manure crops grown,
32,7OO acres; application Of ground
limestone, 74,2OO acres application of
superphosphate and potash, 1900
acres.
Particular attention should be CIV
en- to Flowing under soybeans, and
cowpeas, seeding scarlet clover, and
turning corn under Green.
Under the 1887 program cooperat-
ing farmers have until October 81,
1897, to carry out approved soil
building practices for payment within
the limit of their soil-building allow
ance.
