"RITZ KREISLER, with the
- Philadelphia Orchestra con-
Quoted by MIR. Eugene Ormandy,
4 played before full house last
night when they appeared at Consti-
tuition Hall. Hardly seat was vacant
in the large hall and enthusiasm ran
high as time and time again Mr..
Kreisler was called back with loud
applause. In each instance the audi
ence hoped for the encore which the
great violinist did not give. After all,
audiences are q bit unthoughtful in
wishing artists to give more than Is
human, but that must be the penalty
paid by great musicians.
Mrs. Lawrence Townsend was in her
box with q group of ladies and close
by was Mrs. Harold Walker and Mrs.
Frank G. Let's, while on the op
posite side of the hall Miss Mabel
Boardman entertained in her box the

dor, was seated in box and with her
was her house guest, Sonora de Ganara.
Mrs. Harlan Fiske Stone entertained a
party of friends in her box, and in
another box was seated Mr.. and Mrs.
George A. Garrett and their daughter,
Miss Margot Garrett, and Mrs. James
Clement Dunn, while not far off on

Nine. Saito, wife of the japanese
Ambassador; Mr.. Robert Woods Bliss
and Mr.. U. Grant Smith, Col. and Mrs.
Carl Schieff1er, Mrs. Edwin Watson,
wife of the Presidents military aide,
and Mrs. William r. Castle.
The entr'acte was veritable get
together for many persons in the mu-
sical circle in Washington and fes-
tive one at that, for formal evening
dress was much in evidence. In the
audience was seen Mrs. Warren De-
lano Robbins, the Counselor of the
British Embassy, Mr.. Victor Mallet,

INJURY TO STRAWBERRY
PLANTS NOW APPARENT

Injury to strawberry plants is rap
idly becoming apparent on the lower
Eastern Shore. Last year consider
able injury was done to beds in Wi
comico and Somerset counties by the
strawberry root worm, the adult of
which feeds on the leaves, making
small holes 1-S to 3-16 Of an inch in
diameter, and completely perforating
the leaves. The adult is a small,
brown to black beetle, sometimes with
darker markings on the brown back
ground. 1t hides during the day un-
der clods of earth and feeds at night.
The beetles deposit eggs which develop
into grubs, and they in turn feed on
the roots of the strawberry plants.
Some times whole areas of foliage will
be eaten so badly that hey will pres
ent a scorched appearance, and later
the grubs may destroy the plants.
They are not very difficult to con-
troll as they can be readily killed by
applications of 85 per cent sulphur or
lime and Is per cent of either calcium
arsenate or arsenate of lead. A spray
of arsenate of lead is also effective.
It should be used pound to 80 gal
Ions.

DIR. B. MASSEY
DIED SUDDENLY
in THIS CITY
Stricken With A Heart Attack,
He Succumbs About / go
A. NJ. Tuesday Last
BURIAL IN PHILADELPHIA
ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 6

Seldom has this community been
more stirred than by the news of Doc
tor Bradford Massey's sudden death,
which occurred early Tuesday morning
at his home on Market Street, the re-
suit of an acute heart attack.
DIR. Massey had been in ailing
health for some months. Recently, he
was severely attacked and had re-
ceived hospital treatment. This and
trip to Bermuda had been of Won
derful advantage, and his friends had
considered him far on the road to re-
covery. Those who had seen him in
his usual health on Monday evening,
found it difficult to believe that he
was stricken fatally.
DR.. Massey was born on May IL,
1889, in Philadelphia, the son of Mrs.
Harriet S. Massey and the late DR..
George Betton Massey, Mrs. Massey
now being resident of Pittsburgh,
Pa. He was educated at Haverford
School and also at the Medico-C hirur-
gical College of Philadelphia, class of
1915, which school was later absorbed
by the University of Pennsylvania.
He served his interneship at Blockley,
in Philadelphia. He was a member
of the Phi Beta Pi fraternity.
Joining the Medical Army Corps,
he xx,ac cont RI +bo Moviooy, Pordor
Later he served overseas with the A.
E. F. in Siberia for two years. From
there he went to the Philippines for
a year and then returned to the Uni
ted States. Here he became associa-
ted with the Bureau of Mines and,
with the U. S. Public Health Service.
of Missouri.
After a period in which he was a.
surgeon in the employ of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, he came to Worcester
County in 1929 as its Public Health
Officer, taking up his residence in
Pocomoke City.
Locally, DR.. Massey was captain of
the Medical Detachment, First Infan-
try, Md. National Guard secretary
treasurer of the Worcester County
Medical Society; a member of the:
Board of Pocomoke City Armory; and
Past Commander American Legion
Post, No. 50.

was Miss Sarah Shook, of

LOCAL DIAMOND
OUTFIT UNABLE
TO GO ROUTE
Loses Grip Toward Closing In
nings After Very Promising
Initial Work

The Pocomoke base ball team seems
to be unable to hold on to lead when
once they have secured it in game.
Tuesday night with the score 2 to 0
against Cambridge for six innings, the
visitors were allowed to tie up the
fray, take a lead of one run in the
next, and, in the ninth, stage a bar
rage of hits and runs which was only
lifted after 6 runs had been Tailed.
In the meantime Cambridge was sue
cessful in holding the locals to 2 runs.
At the return game in Cambridge
the next evening, Pocomoke stepped
out in front in the third, but soon lost
the advantage and wound up with the
tally Is to against them.
Possibly, it might be we'll to divide
the work, since no pitcher seems able
to go the distance. The old warrior,
Connie Mack, in a recent game, sent
in a pitcher for each innings, wheth-
er there was any weakness apparent
or not. And he won his game. Po-
comoke's Finger on Tuesday night
showed signs of blowing" when the
visitors tied the score, and the first
batter in the following inning poled
one over the fence. 1t looked as if
that were the time to send the slab
man to the water cooler. However,
it is not always plain to know what
is best to do. A manager gets criti-
cized no matter what move he makes,
and he'd better disregard all advice.

day night games is as follows:

POCOMOKE
RESIDENT WINS in
THE VA. PRIMARY
Wrendo M. Goodwin, ESQ.,, Wins
Nomination For Legislature
By Thirteen Votes

In the primary election held in Vir-
ginia on Tuesday of this week, re-
turned Lieutenant Governor James H.
Price was nominated for governor by a
majority of more than 100000 votes.
His only opponent was State Senator,
Vivian Page, of Richmond, Va.
Of some local interest was the cam
paign of Wrendo M. Goodwin, ESQ.,, for
merly of Pocomoke, for nomination
as delegate to the General Assembly.
Opposed to him were in the incum-
bent, Roy D. White, ESQ.,, and Levin
Mock Davis. Nh. Goodwin was victor
ious by the small majority of IS. This,
of course, will relieve Mr.. Godwin's
mind of any superstition connected in
a gruesome way with those two fig
ures.
Mr.. Godwin's friends in Pocomoke
are gratified at his success, and are
ready with their congratulations, with
out in any way gloating over the de-
feat of anybody else. They feel that
the affairs of Acomack which may
come up for Legislative action will be
attended in an efficient and practical
manner. The public may look for a
very creditable administration from
the nominee, if elected.
