good sports clothes. It's of red and
white candy striped pique, and
gives a grand gay look to you when
you go beach lounging or swim

jersey in the trunks, to make them
more practical, and there's a ban

purposes. You can tie it about
your head, use it as a carry-all for
such things as makeup and cigar

bring your lunch in it. 1t also

priced $685., and of course you can
get smart clogs or sandals in the
same tone of red, to match.

LOCAL OFFICER SHOWS PLENTY
OF SPEED IN JULY nth. FEATURE
Unscheduled Foot Race Thrills Hundreds and Also
Proves Conclusively That "Our Boys In
Blue Always Get Their Man"

An independence Day feature,
not on the schedule, furnished
thrills to hundreds of citizens
who were fortunate enough to be
anywhere west of the Public
Square on Monday morning. The
feature likewise was absolute
proof that the Hagerstown Police
Department can move with alac-
ria, when duty calls.
1t all started in the Public
Square when Patrolman (First
Glass; Leroy Vernon ('Pogie")
Crist, H. P. D. (Hagerstown Pc
lice Department to you'd rested
his eagle eye on one Othenious
Powertrump, aged II. Patrolman
Crist, for various reasons came
to the immediate conclusion that
said Othenious was engaged in
the art of pan-handling. This
pastime, it seems, is definitely
against the law. Patrolman Crist
walked over to Othenious and
placing his hand on the alleged
pan-handler's shoulder invited
him up to see the improvements
at the corner of Franklin and
Potomac streets. Apparently
Othenious has no interest in city
improvements for he declined
without thanks and started going
places.
According to the records Officer
Crist, during his high school
DAYS. never proved himself q
threat to the ten-second men.
However, we are now certain
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1937-07-09

that Mr.. Pyle wasted his life in
promoting bunion derbies.
But to get back to the race:
Othenious speeded westward on
West Washington street with Of
ficer Crist in hot pursuit. The
chase led to the rear of the new
postoffice, through an alley and
back to West Franklin street;
westward again to West Wash
ington street, north to the Man
beck Bakery and out Salem ave-
nue.. Here the chase ended with
Othenious finding a safe refuge in
the tall weeds, which, incidental
ly should have been moved down
many moons ago by the non-exist-
ant weed gang.
After all, a policeman's eye has
it's limitations.
Broken-hearted and breathless,
Patrolman First Class Crist re-
turned to his post in the Public
Square. He was determined,
however, that Othenious couldn't
get away with out-racing him.
And anyway, the first heat didn't
count in this contest. Also, there
was a little matter of the reputa-
ton Of the department being at
stake, too.
Came that time Of day when
tired policemen think of home,
family and fried chicken. (Po-
licemen, it seems, always eat
fried chicken on holidays). 1t
was four bells and Leroy was go.

Baby Show Tonight Is a
Feature; to Continue
Throughout Summer

The plan of pubIic-spirited
citizens to keep the children off
the streets of Hagerstown dur
ina the summer months by in
shutting a program of organized
play, is proving great success.
The Fairgrounds, four in num-
Der, opened this week with
hundreds of boys and girls in

by officials of the Hagerstown
Fairgrounds Association that
within the next few weeks this
number will be tremendously
increased.
Play classes are being held
twice daily-in the morning from
8 to II and in the afternoon from
2 to 4. The children are organic
ed according to ages. A big fea-
ture of this weeks program is a

ground groups participating.
Awards will be given the winners
all of whom will be three years
of age or under.
Each Friday evening throughout
the summer months, special fea-
ture will be on the program, with
many innovations being introduce
ed.
Mrs. w. E. Norment, Boonsboro,
playground director, is exceeding
ly enthusiastic over the prospects
of a successful season. "Organiz-
ed play in Hagerstown will mean
much to the future citizens of the
community" she said. ut proper
ly develops the children and Incl
dentally, does much toward elm
mating rowdyism. Success of this
venture can be absolutely assur
ed if the parents will cooperate
with u.s."

grounds are: City Park Misses
Martha Foreman and Doris Vorisi

the artist was not satisfied with

cannot be ascertained and no

artist, gave the portrait to Will

adnirer of Foster. William
Hicks died in 1895. His widow
gave the portrait to her grand

However, on looking back over

how the experiences stand out as
dramatic and of significant inter-

Since life is so full of expert

those of his father and mother.
Considering the place which he

of his countrymen, it is. appro-

a prosperous merchant trader

assistant to the mayor of Pitts

boy who had died just before
her own son was born.

The youngest member of a
large, family, Stephen was both
petted and spoiled, but he
seems never to, have been very
well understood by the other Fos-
ters. He showed an aptitude for
music early. When he was two,
he would place his sisters guitar
on the floor and, bending over
it, pick out harmonies from its
strings. When he was seven he
was taken into a music store by
one of his brothers. There he saw
