POCOMOKE ODDS
By ParsOn Jack

by ParSOn JACK
Hello, fellows! How's the gang?
Soon We'll hear the bat go chang"
Against the old horse-hide;
Boys are rearing, now, to go
Tryin' to make the grade, y'know
And in their play take pride.
Park is ready, really fit
In the gran stand, you to sit
With lady friend or bride;
And with many other folk,
Root for dear OF Pocomoke,
For we are on her side.
On week days, I may be there,
With my ''megaphone" and prayer"
But Sundays I will not;
For me, there can be no blame
If l miss the Sunday game
won't go near the lot.
Phil Scher of the Lions Club
Surely is no sleeping cub,
When he's to lead team;
In the contest, we put on
Boost attendance-his side won,
AS odd as that may seem.
Losing side did not complain,
cause they had to entertain
Phil's winners at game;
Take us to the Baseball park
Our admission they will fork,
Yet love us just the same.
Tomorrow is Our Mothers Day
We will all have much to say
Along this line of thought;
Pretty flowers, pluck and save
Put them on her lonely grave
Breathe the prayer you ought.
Go to church, serve Mothers God

JOY fills your rondelays;
Sweetly your song makes my spirit

And lightens it with praise.

While she sleeps beneath the sod
Answer the prayer she prayed;
Forsake evil, sin and shame,
And bring credit to her name
Whose word you once obeyed.

THE LITTLE RED HEN

Said the little rooster, "Gosh all hem
lock; things are tough,
Seems that worms are getting scarcer
and 1 cannot find enough.
What's become of all those fat ones
is a mystery to me;
There were thousands through that
rainy spell but now where can they
be?"
The little red hen who heard him
didn't grumble or complain,
She had gone through lots of dry
spells, she had lived through floods
of rain:
So she flew up on the grindstone, and
she gave her claws whet,
AS she said, give never seen the time
there were no worms to get"

Some day invite them back.

Speak this Sunday on the thought
"What Jesus learned from Mother;'
Our discoveries, do feel,
Will prove interesting and real
Helpful to one another.

If you have no church to attend,
Come worship with us, then;
And if the service does you good
For your soul, it gives you food,
Well let you come again.

and stark mystery drama, that will
hold you breathless until the ex-
citing climax.
Warned to leeave the Olympic
games under threat Of death, Chan
defies a ring of international spies
to set new worlds record for
mystery, thrills and excitement In
this most battling Of the Chinese
sleuth'S cases.
Katehrine DeMille, Pauline Moore,
Allan Lane, Keye Luke and G.
Henry are in the supporting cast.
One of Hollywood's most impress
sive and talented casts in years was
selected to bring WI Hats on"
which Polls presents on this popu-
lar double feature bill.
You will do Just as the title sug-
gests when you see this exceptional
story. with fine acting, excellent
comedy, beautiful dancing and some
catchy music combine to make this
one Of the years most entertaining
musicals.
Boris PETROL, who directed, brings

Dallas.
The story concerns two rival
agents who attempt to out-do each
other In making his respective show

STATE

Bette Davis, in her sensational
dramatic triumph Marked Wo-
man." returns to Warner Brothers
State today for a popular request
three day engagement. Everyone
has been asking for the return Of
this picture, many who have seen
it want to see II again.
Eduardo Ciannelli, the smoothest
villain in pictures, takes over the
night club "Intime," changes 1t into
a "clip joint" and forces its hos
tesses into helping him rob the pa
irons by Turing them into the gam
bling rooms. Miss Davis, IsabeI
Jewell, Rosalind Marquis, Lola Lane
and Mayo Methot play the hostesses
When patron Of the club is killed
by one of Ciannelli's henchmen, q
city-wide protest against the racke-
teers gathers force. Humphrey b.
CART, as the young attorney, arrests
and prosecutes the gang. Aided by
Bette, who turns against Ciannelns
gand when her sister Is murdered
he is able to break up the racke-
teering mob and place the leaders
behind bars.
As the hard and cynical hostess
whose one vulnerable point Is her
devotion to her sister, Bette Davis
turns in q performance that tops
the one in Dangerous" which won
her the Motion picture Academy
award. Cianelli does one OF the
most capable bits of villainy the
screen has seen to date, and Hum
phrey Bogart upllolds the law IN
his role Of attorney as superbly as
he defied it in "Petrif1ed Forest"
and BLACK Legion"
The companion feature Is "That
Mans Here Aagain," a comedy riot

heart-warming comedy. Thanks
Hugh for the funniest 60 minutes
ever filmed!

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
Hollywood - When Universal
Studios passed into new hands
about IA months ago, auditors and
executives soon began to turn up as
tonishing facts about the old 1aenl-
NILE regime.
On the payroll they found the
names Of two men who were dead.
They found other names Of 'em-
ployes" who came to the studio
only to get their checks.
Shopping through numerous tiny
offices scattered over the lot, they
discovered people who hadn't done
anything In years but who at least
were conscientious enough to come
in nearly every day and mediate
on the irspirational sermon-mern-
oranda which Uncle Carl Laemnlle
was fond Of sending around.
The old Universal was the font
OF practically all the nepOtisn
jokes that you ever heard about
Hollywood. The place was so
damned with relatives that a pro-
Queer would always say "Sir" to a
janitor because the latter probably
would turn out to be q second cou-
sin Of the big boss wife's brother
in-law. More than 10 relatives,
friends Of relatives, and other pen-
SionerS actually were discovered
and ousted by the new manage
ment.

left the studio only the other day.

sioner nor parasite; just pleasant.

for more than is years. Her daugh-

When the Joe Laemmles and
their child came here In 1921,
Uncle Carl gave them a bungalow

ment. There they resided happily,

Typical Woman Embezzler Is
IS and Has Clean Past Record
She Steals Employers Money for Bene.
mof Others and Intends to PayIt
Back, Records ShO,U.

The typical woman embezzler is
35 q years old. does not drink or gam
BILE. has a clean past record. is intelli-
gent but not college educated, and
steals her employers money for the
benefit OF others-with the intention
Of paying it back at some vague time
In the future.
These are among findings made in
a study OF 400 cases OF embezzlement
by women, involving total loss to
their employers OF 1928 ,2Ol.
OF the 400 women, l9l were mar
ried, l39 were single. A were widows
and rs were divorced or separated.
Approximately one in every ten alb
seconded before or at the time her en-
ployer discovered the defalcation.
Many OF those caught confessed
readily. A few committed suicide.
The 400 cases were taken from the
claim files Of the United States Fidel-
ity & Guaranty Co. The embezzlers
were employed In many types OF busi-
nesses and institutions. and their po-
sitions and responsibilities varied
widely.
More than half (239) OF the embez-
zlers were employed in mercantile es-
adjustments and their defalcations

banks, the losses totaling s272,l5l.
Twenty-Five. in public Offices, stole
S253,l45. Thirty-flve, in post Offices,
embezzled $50040. The remainder,
63, "misappropriated" 4l,467 from
fraternal organizations.
OF the 400 women, 482 per cent
were widowed or single women with
dependents, or were married women
who had to support their families; 20 3
per cent had only themselves to sup
port; 22.5 per cent apparently did not
need to work.
Taken as whole, the women were
not poorly paid for the work they did
the average pay being $97 q month
Some earned more than $1,000 a year.
Conclusions drawn from the study
OF the women were similar generally
to those in study Of 1,00l men and
women embezzlers made last year.
1T seems fair to repeat" the report
said, that employees, whether men or
women. up to the point where they dip
into the TILL are honest. They con-
slider they are not stealing. but are
borrowing for real or fancied need
and have every intention Of paying

lis, Okla, foursome, to be graduated
from Baylor University Monday. The

tory to complete college course
It was Leota, generally the spokes-
man, who scratched out the marriage
prospect.
I'VE would get to travel all over
the country and get to stay together
TOR while longer, anyway" she said.
Has Say on Matrimony.
The plump Mary impulsive and
cheerful, added her say on patrimony.
Gosh, no." she exclaimed, I'VE
aren't thinking OF anything like that
not yet, anyway" Roberta, the
serious one, added:
I'VE don't mean that we intend to
become old maids. All of us look
at this problem sensibly, and we
realize that sometime we vii have
to part and lead individual lives. What
Mary means is that the right man
Just hasn't come along yet"
The four vigorously nodded their
approval. Since freshman days they
have been popular with both boys and
girls and there have been dates
aplenty for each.
All Good Musicians.
The Keys girls are all good musi-
clans and have appeared on many
radio and stage programs. Leota said
they have had a number of offers to
enter vaudeville and the movies, but
have not decided on any Of them.
They play saxophones and sing.
The pretty Mona pointed out they
could teach school 'if necessary"
Mary and Leota have permanent
teachers certificates, and Roberta and
have temporary ones" she explained.
We have that to fall back on il our
business scheme doesn't work out"
The girls have done practice teach

Their chief objection to teaching is
that 1t probably would necessitate a
break in their companionship, which
they hope will remain intact until one
of them marries.
