around the world for Hawley and
his wife.
During 1917, the famous Lafayette
Escadrille had two lion cubs as mas
cots called 'WhiSkey' and Soda
They were as playful as kittens
and the boys romped with them
at the front. But as the cubs grew.
complaints began to come in from
the mess sergeantS that meat was
disappearing Finally the cubs were
caught red-pawed stealing a side
of beef and the Escadrille had to
give them up. This was a vince
for Bill Thaw. who loved them,
but he was a good soldier and
took 'WhiSkey' and Soda back to
the Paris ZOO. In 1918 Thaw was
in Paris and thought of the cubs
and with a group from the Meu'ice
bar went out to visit them. Jumping
over the guard rail near their cage.
he started to talk to the pets and

triste" AS he walked sadly away
the lions followed every move with
their eyes and even stood on their
hind legs to get a better look over
the heads of the crowd. And Thaw's
last look was of two shaggy heads
stretched as high as they could
reach-their noses pressed against
the bars. straining for last look.
They are still alive and Thaw goes
back every year or so to see them.

Remember
Father Couqhlin?

John L. Lewis, pointing his so-called
non-partisan league for the 1910 cleo
tions, might profit by few minutes
of REFLECTION on the fate of Father Cough
lin, DR.. Townsend and others in the ma
tional political picture. He might even
glance at this weeks election results
strangely enough he calls them sign of
distinct progress" = for a signboard
along the road he will tread.
If John L. Lewis does not share the
fate of those others who fluttered bright
ly in the political spotlight, got their
wings singed and plunged to oblivion,
then he is a greater man than he seems
to be at the moment. Tuesdays election
results, with defeat for Lewis candi-
dates on all important fronts, did not
seem to indicate much promise.
Lewis, one suspects, is not going to
become the political power he so fondly
imagines himself to be. That realiza-
ton may be brought home to him before

Postoffiee Operation
On a Business Basis

News that Ell Centro's postal receipts
during October showed an increase over
the same month last year serves to spot
light an institution the city is too apt
to take for granted. The Ell Centro post
office is one Of the city's biggest busi-
nesses, operated upon basis of which
any business might boast, yet we are
all too prone to regard it as something
that just happened.
Anyone sufficiently interested to visit
the postoffice, talk to Postmaster Frank
Richmond, and examine the records of
months business, cannot escape con-
viction that there is more than mere
routine in handling the mail, in keeping
up with schedules, in providing for rural
routes, in keeping books for the business,
and in general office management.
1t is one of the faults of this hurry
ing age that we are so immersed in our
own business, and in such hurry to
get from place to place, and back again,
that we very seldom pay any attention
to the interesting things going on about
us. Anyone who wants practical dem
ostration that the things we sometimes
consider dull are very often brightly
interesting might visit the postoffice-
and be convinced

to cast a shadow of suspicion on
German n-Americans generally-hoW-
ever little they may deserve it as
individuals.
There is one thing more to be
said. j.
All OF us, if we trace our ances-
try back very far, are Americans
of foreign descent. If the descent
is recent, we are bound to have
sentimental attachment for the old
country. That is perfectly natural,
and the most ardent patriot cannot
object to it.
But any American who goes be-
yond that sentimental attachment
and tried actively to transplant TO
this country the theology of his
herland-especially when that
ideology is a direct denial of
Americas most cherished ideals-is
forfeiting his citizenship. He has
no business here. He will sooner or
later draw down on himself The
repriSals of the American people.
And any German-American who
is tempted by General Goering's
elcquence might bear that fact IN
mind.

Bruce Cation Says:
- America is No Place for Divided Loyalty

The Nazi government in Berlin
seems bent on making life as
tough as possible for people OF
German descent who no longer
live in Germany.
A recent blast from Gen. Her.
mann Goering's pet newspaper an
nounces that Germanblood citizens
of other countries must now pe-
come agents of the Nazi social and
economic program. They must
abandon "un-German" points of
view. accept the Nazi theology and
beprepared to undergo all sacri-
fices and accept full responsibility
in the present struggle of the Ger
man nation.
This, of course, is nothing less
than a demand that all Germans
living in countries like the United
States must automatically hyphe-
nate themselves. They must keep
tongue in cheek when they take
citizenship oaths abroad. They
must dilute their new citizenship,
and be prepared constantly to sell
out the land of their adoption on
orders from Berlin.
That any appreciable percentage
of Germans in America will pay
any attention to this Screed is eX-
tremely doubtful The tragic days
cf the World War showed that
American citizens Of German birth
or descent were as loyal as any.
Then. as now. the government in
Berlin made things pretty difficult
for them by demanding that they
60 down the line for the kaiser on
all occasions; but only a scattered
handful paid any attention.
But the point is that the Nazi
government is committing the same
grave error that the kaisers gov
ernment committed.
A plea of this kind harms the
government that issues it. 1t COM
pelS other governments to be dis
trustful. In the amount of ill-wlll
it raises it must inevitably react
agains its sponsors.
Furthermore. it makes things
bad for Americans of German de-
scent. America is democracy
the very antithesis of everything
National Socialism stands for. Any
American who sets out to become
as agent of the Nazi program, as
General Goering urges, automati-
cally ceases to be a good American
citizen. That is so obvious that

DHERE is something very individual and
refreshing about Jean Muir, the Holly
wood actress who has so many per-
formances to her credit that recently
seven of her pictures were released within six
months. You recognize her unique quality
both in her physical beauty = for she has
beauty = and in something intangible about
her. something of the mind and spirit.
Physically Jean sharpens your perception
of her by the inscrutable look in her blue
eyes, set rather widely apart; by the delicate
contour of her forehead and the smooth, soft
line her fair hair makes about her face. There
is something different too, about her clothes,
something unconventional in lovely way.
One day last August. for instance, she was
wearing full-skirted, slim-bodiced dress of
some linen with the sheen of silk and with cool
blue flowers woven on a white background.
1t was simple in the extreme, but exception
ally attractive.
81 design my own dresses of this kind,
Jean says in answer to comment on her
clothes. "Otherwise l could not get them with
skirts full enough to please me. You see, when
II am riding in the car, for long distances,
often like to put my feet up and for that rea-
son l need clothes with stretch to them.
Besides, love loose, comfortable, peasant
type dresses, except for evening" when like
very severe but very feminine clothes. And
for daytime, also like tailored suits as we'll
as the looser things"
In foods Jeans tastes are equally simple. Il
like best the things had generally as child.
My stomach and my tastes seem to have got
habituated to these things" she says.
So it is not surprising to hear her admit not
only that she likes mashed potatoes, but that
sne neatly makes hole in the middle OF her
serving and pours the gravy into that
"And love indulging in things like chop
bones," she adds. Moreover don't pay at
tention to lots of rules about what to serve

M. W. LANDING
SETS BANQUET
BEFORE FRIENDS
Entertains Nearly One Hundred
Guests At Parker House
On Friday, May FL
MANY AFTER-DINNER
SPEAKERS THANK HOST

On Friday evening of last week, M.
Winfield Landing, of this city, was
host to nearly one hundred guest
friends at a sumptuous dinner served
at the Parker House, in a style that
upheld the traditions of that old, well
and favorably known hostelry.
Mr.. landings purpose in giving
this treat was nothing more nor less
than to express his feeling of friend
ship to those he has mingled with,
in more or less close acquaintance
ship, and to cement the ties that
bound him to his community people.
1t was a unique demonstration, and
every one agrees it was most success
fully carried out.
When the guests had assembled in
the dining room, Rev. Mr.. Macleod,
son-in-law of Mr.. Landing, said grace;
Mr.. Landing welcomed his friends in
few well-chosen words, and the ban
quet was on. The menu, consisting
of turkey and all usual accompani-
ments was well prepared and served,
and highly enjoyed by all present.
After dinner, Mr.. Landing intro
duced DR.. E. J. Clarke as POSTMASTER
and he after few words, introduced
the speakers. These were, Revs. Mac
Leod, Venable, and Mathews. Judge
James M. Crockett, Senator M. L.
Veasey, L. Paul Ewell, Godfrey Child;
Mayor E. w. Ross, DR.. N. E. Sartor-
ius; Ounce Ashburn and ]. o. Byrd,
Mayor of Snow Hill. All these
felicitated the host upon his unique
idea and expressed their appreciation
of his hospitality.
Some suggestion that the occasion
might be the hosts birthday anniver-
sary, was in evidence when a large
cake CD was brought in surmounted
by number of burning candles. But
Mr.. Landing gave no such intimation
and it was noticed the candles were
blown out before any one had counted
them. 1t is reported the cake 20
was donated to the walters who have
given no intimation as to how it was
enjoyed. '..
Mr.. Landing introduced two unique
features into the evenings program.
These were two prizes, one given to
the guest who should tell the best
story; the other. who might guess the
nearest to number of corn field beans
contained in glass jar. Ounce Ash
burn was the successful story-teller;
and William H. Dryden knew better
than any one else how many beans
were in that jar.
Mr.. Landing has set fine exam
pie of individual entertainment, and
those present thought it might set
some others to thinking. The future
will tell.

day, May 18th, at her home in Dayton,
Ohio, at the age of so years. Funeral
services were held Saturday at 2:3O
p. M, and interment made in Louden
Park cemetery, Baltimore.
Mrs. Dryden had visited in POGO
moke on several occasions and had
made many friends while here. While
these friends are grieved to learn of
her death they realize it is but a
merciful relief from her sufferings
and death came as the physician. of
one whom medicine could not cure.
Her illness extended over a year, two
months of which was spent at Johns
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Miss
Esther Dryden, of this city, has been
in constant attendance for several
months.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Dryden
is survived by one son, Harry Perkins
Dryden, aged IA years and one broth
er, Fuller Perkins, of Asheville, N. C.
Those from Pocomoke attending the
funeral were: Mr.. and Mrs. o. A.
Johnson, Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond C.
