STATE POTATO GROWERS
TO CONSIDER 1888 PLAN
To Vote Whether They Want An
Acreage Sterilization Program

Commercial potato growers in
Maryland will decide during the week
of September 20 whether they want
an acreage sterilization plan in the
1888 agricultural program.
The Extension Service at the Uni
versity of Maryland announced the
date for the referendum.
DR.. T. B. Symons, director of Ex-
tension Service, said the plan calls for
national acreage goal for potatoes,
divided among commercial growers.
Such goal, if established, he said,
would about equal average CONNER
cial acreage during recent years.
The purpose of the program, he ad-
ded, would be encouragement of an
nual acreage near the adequate aver
age figure, rather than a reduction of
acreage.
Would Get Special Payments
Growers keeping their acreage with
in quotas would be eligible for special
payments under the conservation pro-
gram. No payments would be made for
cutting acreage below the goal, and
deduction in payments would be made
for each acre over the allotted figure.
DR.. Symons emphasized that the
proposed program would not apply to
farmers growing potatoes for their
own use, nor to counties with small
commercial productions.
SIN the past, shifts in acreage have
resulted in disastrously low prices
during years of large acreage,
followed by years of small acreage
and unduly high prices" DR.. Symons
stated.
Garrett COuntians To Vote
Counties in Maryland where COM
mercial growers will vote on the pro-
gram are Anne Arundel, Baltimore,
Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Dorchester,
Frederick, Garrett, Hartford, Howard,
Kent, Montgomery, Prince Georges,
Somerset, Washington, Wicomico and
Worcester.

PEOPLE TOLD OF EFFECTS
OF ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO
High School Students Also Hear
Address of Judge Bale, of Ohio

Some of the permanent effects of
alcohol and tobacco upon the youth of
our nation today were clearly por-
trayed by Judge Fred. G. Bale, of
Columbus, Ohio, during the courses of
three lectures in Oakland this week.
Judge Bale, a former judge of the
Juvenile court in Columbus, O., spoke
in the Lutheran church Sunday morn
ing; to the Oakland High school stu
dents Tuesday afternoon and at an
open meeting in the Methodist church
on Tuesday evening.
His subject was the same at all
three meetings, although approached
from different angles. In explaining to
the high school students Tuesday af-
ternoon the effect of alcohol on young
people he called their attention to a
recent meeting of scientistists at the
University of Illinois, attended by $50
eminent men. At this meeting the dis
cussion was "What is the scientific
truth concerning the nature of the
effects of alcohol on the human body"
Of the various angles discussed the
$50 scientists unanimously agreed on
four things: that alcohol had no food
value; that alcohol was depressing and
not a stimulant; that alcohol was a
habit-forming narcotic drug, just as
was opium and morphine; that alcohol
was more than a narcotic-it was a
race poison, affecting directly the pro-
toplasm of the life stream.
There were only three things that
would affect the life stream, causing
race poison-syphilis, white lead and
alcohol, Judge Bale averred. Alcohol,
according to Judge Bale, is more dead
ly than syphilis in affecting the life
stream. Eighty-five percent of all
venerial diseases is contracted while
under the influence of liquor, he said.
Judge Bale also pointed out in his
meetings Sunday and Tuesday evening
the effects that tobacco and liquor had
on the unborn children of expectant
mothers.
Judge Bale appeared on the pro-
gram of the Mountain Lake Park
Summer School of Missions and the
Mountain Top Camp Meeting this
summer, and has also spoken before
the local Rotarians. During his eight
years as a member of the juvenile
court he stated it was his belief that
most of the crimes children committed
were done because they had never
stopped to think of the consequences.
He urged the young people to think
about these things seriously.

Holy Cross Students Return To
Washington

The Holy Cross Summer House of
Studies was closed on Tuesday, Sep
TENDER Z, and the Fathers and stu
dents returned to their monastery in
Washington, D. C.
Rev. Howard Kenna, who was head
of the Summer House of Studies on
Deep Creek Lake, was recalled to
Notre Dame, Indiana, where he will
preside as the head of the Novitiate.
Because of the close association
with st. Peters Parish in Oakland, the
parishioners felt the departure of the
fathers and students keenly.
. A new type of mission was under
taken on last Sunday, September IL,
when the sisters who conduct St.
Peters Parocial school in Oakland,
inaugurated Sunday school classes in
Terra Alta, West Va. The four sisters
who conduct the classes are Sister
Mary Bertrand, R.S.M.; Sister Mary
Mechtild, R.S.M.; Sister Mary Alfred,
R.S.M., and Sister Mary Patricia, R.
SIN.
Plans are now being mad feor the
members Of the McVeigh Holy Cross
Club of st. Peters Parish to make
regular visitations to the Hopemont
Sanitarium near Terra Alta to cheer
the patients and give catechetical in
struction.

Child Struck By Car, But Is Not
Seriously Injured

Harry Owens, 12-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Owens, of Oakland,
was accidentally struck by an auto
mobile driven by Jesse ]. Ashby, Jr.,
shortly after noon on Monday. Injur-
les were not serious, fortunately.
Eyewitness stated the boy dashed
out into the street from beside a
parked truck and that the car was
upon him before the driver was able
to stop. He was thrown several feet
ahead of the car and considerably
bruised, but no bones were broken and
the vehicle did not pass over any part

HOLT BLOCKS
YOKE EAPPROVAL

G.NS) BY a vote of seven to
five the Senate Finance Commit
tee yesterday rejected Presiuent
Roosevelt's nomination of F. Roy
Yoke of Morgantown, w. Va, to
be Internal Revenue collector
there. Senator Holt CD of that
State, had declared the nominee
personally obnoxious to him."
"I am against confirmation Of
Yoke. because he is unfit to hold
public offic," said Holt. when
we were in school together back
in 1917, Yoke before a large group
demanded that my father be shot
for opposing American entrance
into the World War.
yoke also inspired a mob TO
throw rocks at my mother. She
was knocked down by hoodlums
stirred up by Yoke. He carried on
a brutal campaign against my
family because of their conscienti.
Gus views on the war"
Since the Finance Committee
voted adversely on the nominee,
expectations were that Holt would
be victorious in blocking the ap.
pointment. Senatorial courtesy
historically has been to reject
nominees personally objected to by
a single Senator.

court fight, but then an extra
ordinary national constitutional
issue was involved. This wage
hours legislation was supposed
to be only a little face-saving
bill, and it had the backing not
only Of Mr.. Roosevelt but Of a
man with sufficient political
power to have once or twice
issued political warnings to Mr..
Koosevelt-Jonn L. Lewis.
Consequently the leaders,
their work done, settled back
before the vote with the assur-
snce the outcome was in the
bag. Shortly before the vote,
Whip Boland offered to bet
500 that he had the votes.
No one took him. The advance
polls showed he had them too,
but apparently not all who
were polled, told the truth.
Then the blow fell. The roll
call showed 1873 Democrats had
resisted pressure. politics and
the possibilities Of personal ad-
vancement by opposing their
own leaders. An unexpected
majority Of 18 votes was rec
orGed in favor of sidetracking
a labor bill.
OBVIOUSLY this was no ordi-
nary rebellion. Many ex-
plantations have been offered for
1t, but the fundamental explana-
ton is that it was a revolt Of
the small Southern towns and
Western farm States against
the large industrial cities and
the CIO dominated manufactur.
ing areas. It was a revolt Of
the great middle class, farm
class and conservative class
against labor-class legislation
for the first time in the New
Deal.
THE defeat was no less direct

than to the CIO and Mr.. Roose.
velt and Mr.. Lewis. AFL substi-
tute for the bill was sharply
rel ected. Furthermore Mr..
Green's own ranks broke against
him. Such well recognized AFL
supporters as Representative
Ruben Wood, president of the
Missouri State Federation of
Labor, Griswold Of Indiana.
Dockweiler, of California, Fitz-
gerald Of Connecticut and
Healey Of Massachusetts, voted
against Green in favor Of the
bill.
WHAT it all means is, the New
w Deal steam roller has burned
out its bearings and is stalled.
It does not mean Mr.. Roose-
velt's whole program will be
broken up, that anything he pro-
poses in the future will be de-
feated. But it does mean he
will have to be more careful,
that he will have to play for
congressional support more in
the formulation of his programs.
His old system Of picking out a
popular class issue and pushing
it through Congress by efficient
machine tactics will work no
longer. The old charm method
has failed. The spell is over.
And the most peculiar part Of
it is, the opposition has not yet
publicly identified itself. Some
public credit is being given Nc
Reynolds Of Tennessee, but he
was only one of a large group
including Dies of Texas, Warren
Of North Carolina, Lamneck Of
Ohio-and others.

wouldn't take on momentum
through the addition of just these
three simple, wearable frocks?
Surely like the Model T, it would
be hard to find. And the thrilling
thing - the important feature -
is that these frocks are planned
and patterned exclusively for the
modern woman who sews-for you,
a member of The Sewing Circle.
Pattern 1914 is a house dress
with a future. 1t is young and
practical. The new notched col
lar, ending as it does in twin
scallopS below the yoke line,
gives the waist front balance and
brightness. The bodice is slightly
fulled to make this comfortable
style to work in as well as one
that is attractive to look at. The
skirt is slim lined and simple
as you would have it. Use dimity,
dotted swiss or gingham for this
number. Designed for sizes: "a,
36, 39, 40, AZ, A, 46 and 48. Size
SO requires 37s yards of 35 inch
material.
Pattern 1889 is the polite young
model caught with it's back this
way, perhaps the better to show
off the beautiful shoulders and
chicest of chic descending lines.
You'll run-up this frock in short
order but you'll wear it endlessly
and with that happy confidence
which only a style with distinc-
ton can give. Make it of rasp-
berry wool crepe and trim the
collar, cuffs and hem with royal
blue. Pattern 1889 comes in sizes
IA, 16, Is and 20 (32 to 40 bust).
Size 16 requires yards of 54 inch
material with yards of braid
for trimming.

brings glamour and romance to
the gay wearer. Gold or silver
metallic cloth, or, perhaps shim-
mering satin for the blouse with
a skirt of velvet will make a mil
lion dollar outfit. Make it yours in
a couple of hours. 1t is available
in sizes IA, 16, IS and 20 (32 to AZ
bust). Size 16 requires 21s yards
of 80 inch material for the blouse
and 21s yards for the skirt. The
blouse with long sleeves requires
23s yards 80 inches wide.

panies each pattern to guide you

Seventeenth Century Mode

Virginia ladies of the Seventeenth
century differed little from the Eng
lish in their costumes, except that,
being richer, they were better able
to crafty their desire to shine and
outshine. AS they manufa ctured
nothing in the South, all their finery
was fresh from England. A Virginia
lady, Mrs. Pritchard, in 1860, owned
an olive colored silk petticoat, an
other of silk tabby, one of flowered
tabby, one of velvet, and one OF
white striped dimity. Her printed
calico gown was lined with blue
silk. There were also pair OF
scarlet sleeves and another of ruff
fled holland; also a pair of green
stockings.

Homemade Glasses Used

Not for a moment must we be-
Ieve that all of our ancestors eyes
were so perfect that some eye help
was not needed, for many old spec
tacles testify that the tinkerer at
least tinkered himself specta cles
when the letters grew dim. Window
glass was often the only lens avail
able for the homemade frames and
eye-charts did not come into exis-
tence until the 1860s. If a man had
a forge he could hammer out a pair
OF iron frames, or twist some of
pewter and make himself specs
which could be ''heired" for several
generations, says a writer in the
New York Sun.
But there were difficulties. Well
enough, said the old tinkerer, to fix
a contraption to hold two pieces of
glass, but how to make 'em stick?
A leather strap was one answer;
two short sticks for temples" run
ming up under the hair was another;
the straight bow with rings in the
end holding strings for tying be-
hind, another; then came bows
which slid upon themselves; and
finally, there was the bow which
curved enough to fit the head and
cling. without thong or string.
There was a time in the 1700s
