CHESTERTOWN LIKELY
TO LOSE TRAIN SERVICE

Officials of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, in Chestertown last Thursday to
confer with postal officials, indicated
positively that application has been
made to the Public Service Commits
sion to eliminate entirely the railroad
passenger and mail service to and
from this point and all intermediate
stations on the local line.
Col. Whitlock, General Superinten-
dent of the P. B. & w. r. r. and
Mr.. R. K. Vought, Superintendent of
the Delmarva Division, Pennsylvania
Railroad, were the officers who were
in Chestertown Thursday and stated
that it is the desire of the company
to discontinue the railroad service.
These officials, it is said, claim that
the company has averaged a loss of
$1,000 per month in the operation of
the passenger, mail and milk trains
on this line.

NEGRO PUBLISHES BOOK
WITH SHORE" LOCATION

A new book just issued, and in the
Talbot County Free Library is called
"These Low Grounds" It is written
by Waters Edward Turpin, a negro
who was born at Oxford and whose
father was a brick mason there for
many years. 1t is said that Edna
Ferber, the famous novelist, is inter-
ested in the work of this colored
author.
Turpin went to school in Oxford
and worked after school hours. He
is now on the staff of Storer College
at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia.
"These Low Grounds" is a first
novel, begun in 1881 and written at
intervals. 1t is composite life story
of negroes on the Eastern Shore
which are legend among his people.
1t is very interesting story. Frank
lin P. Adams, noted authority writes
of it: 81 couldn't lay "These Low
Grounds" down. 1 never heard of
Waters Edward Turpin, but he doesn't
have to take his hat off to Julia Peter
kin or Minnie Hite Moody, They
ought to doff their bonnets to him.

GREENSBORO LADY FINDS
VALUABLE TEXTILE ITEM

The textile industry may be revo-
tionized if a recent discovery made
by Miss Eleanor Horsey, daughter of
T. Clayton Horsey, of Greensboro, is
generally adopted.
Miss Horsey discovered that wooden
material can be manufactured with
out the use of an ingredient always
considered essential.
Since her graduation at Cornell Uni
vresity last year, Miss Horsey has
been a chemist in the laboratory of a
firm in New York State, near Ithaca.
She is the niece of DIR. Mary J.

A MAP Of the petroleum pipe lines
A in the United States would
show an enormous network Of
steel, forming one of the most i'm.
portant but least known of our
present-day transportation systems.
Thousands of miles of pipe line
carry petroleum and it's products
from the oil regions to the nations
industrial centers. Other thousands
of miles connect seaboard terminals
and refineries in or near the oil re-
gions with the wells from which
the supplies of crude petroleum are
drawn. Still another network of
lines carries the products of re-
fineries in other parts of the coun-
try to points throughout their mar
keting territory.
One of the largest pipe line con-
struction jobs under way at the
present time is 225-mile extension
being built from Williamsport,
Pennsylvania, to Buffalo and Ro-
chester, New York, by pipe line
transportation subsidiaries Of The
Atlantic Refining Company. When
the extension is completed it will be
possible to pipe the products of the
company's Philadelphia refinery
across the State of Pennsylvania to
the markets of western New York
State. In. 1886, a 760-mile pipe line

in the Rocky Mountain region was
reconditioned, providing the longest
gravity flow line in the world.
In many respects the operation Of
a pipe line system is similar to that
of railroad, with its trunk lines,
feeders, terminals, storage yards.
switch systems, stations, dispatch
ers, telephone and teletype systems.
Unlike the freight train, however,
the pipe line does not have to trans.
port itself as well as it's load. The
fluid is kept moving through the
pipes by pumping stations, usually
located about 40 miles apart, al
though in billy country, or for
heavy and viscous oil, they may be
placed at more frequent intervals.
Frequently three or four different
"slugs", OF patches, each consisting
of from 10000 barrels to 100000
barrels, and each consigned to a
different destination, will move
through the same pipe line at the
same time. Each Slug" may con-
sist of different grade Of gasoline.
or other petroleum products. Dis
patchers keep the station operators
informed of the time when each
batch will reach them, and give the
necessary instructions for shunting
of the different consignments to
connecting lines that will carry
them to their destinations.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
THE WINDSOR'S NOT
TO OCCUPY WYE HALL

Flat and final contradiction was Civ
en- last week to the persistent rumor
which has been bobbing up in metro
politan and other newspapers of the
country that the Duke and Duchess
of Windsor would lease or purchase
Wye Hall, the Wye Island estate, now
being restored by w. . H. Stillwell,
owner, and that the famous couple
would become residents of Queen
Anne's County.
In an exclusive interview given to
the Recorder Observer last week, Mr..
Stillwell who has just returned from
a several months sojourn in Europe
summarily denied the reports.
'There is no truth in it," Mr.. Still
well declared. II purchased Wye
Hall in February, 1886, and had my
plans drafted for the restoration of
Wye Hall and the work started on
it six months before the Duke of
Windsor abdicated the British throne.
It will not be completed and ready for
occupancy for some time. 1.
"I am at loss to know how such
a report started and then continued
the round of news agencies long af-
ter I had denied it," continued Mr..
Stillwell. every part of it was an
exaggeration, especially the cost of
the house. 1t has given a wrong i'm
preston of me and my purposes in
coming to the Eastern Shore.
81 am not going to develop a mil
lionaire's estate at Wye Hall. I am
rebuilding with a few changes the
home of Governor Paca as conceived
by the Colonial architect James Ho-
ban. The preservation of Wye Hall
I believe to be due the Eastern Shore
and Queen Anne's county. 1 hope it
will be accepted as such.
Equally important, expect to de-
velop a practical, self-supporting dirt
farm where any farmer in the county
will be free to come"
Regarding the furore about the
forthcoming visit of the Duke and
Duchess of Windsor Mr. Stillwell re-
marked that one of his biggest sur
prises came from the foreman in
charge of construction who reported
that a continuous stream of cars
from all parts of the East had visited
the property in the past month to see
the American home of the Duke and
Duchess" The owner also received
word that airplanes from as far as
New York have been wheeling and
diving above his property and that
some planes had been landing in a
field of ripe soy beans.
The Wye Island estate comprises
three farms with a total of eight hun
dred acres. The farm nearest WE Is
land bridge is tenanted by John Mans
field and the farm adjoining it on the
south by Henry Dodd, Jr.

TOE's chief asset is the fact he never
has been knocked out. He prob
ably will remain upright against
Miller. although the former Cincin-
natl baker boy is prohibitive favor
ite to chop Temes' face into some
thing resembling hamburger.
Miller, recently returned from a
jaunt through South Africa, has COM
piled an impressive record since los
ing to Sarron, whipping such fighters
as Willie Smith, Maurice Hotter
and Phil zwick on his tour, while
trimming Everett Rightmire. Jimmy
Buckler and frankie kid Covell in
the United States. He twice knocked
out Smith, rated ninth among the
world l26-pounders by Ring Maga-
zine, semi-oficial boxing organ.
The real reasonbehind the match.
It is felt. is to further acquaint local
fans with Miller and pave the way for

popular Washington featherweight.
Temes lost an eight-round bout to
Gevinson here recently and among the

instead Of being forced to duck pea

Ernie so enthusiastically that Katan
fell to the mat and was an easy victim
for Dusek's climaxing body press.
John was cheered for five minutes by
spectators who felt Bortnicks method
