A PROBABLY FATAL
ALTERATION

Isaiah Beach, a wealthy farmer,
living near Delmar, and Robert
Morris, negro, became involved
in an alteration Sunday, over the
ownership Of a dog which Beach
accused Morris Of stealing. The
former could not stand the i'm
pudence Of his colored adversary
and dealt him a savage blow in the
face, whereupon Morris drew a
large knife and stabbed Beach in
the stomach, making a cash about
eight inches long from which his
intestines protruded. A messenger
was dispatched to Laurel for med
ical assistance. The wounded man
is lying in a precarious condition
with little chances for his recovery.
Morris is under arrest.

@ Question:

Cleaning BraSs.-Never use vim
egar to clean brass. Though it
cleans at first, it soon causes
tarnish. The proper materials for
cleaning brass are oil and rotten
stone.
When Preserving.-Don't pack
jars too tightly when preserving
fruits and vegetables. Leave a
space of at least half an inch at
the top for liquid.
Removing Tobacco Stains.-To-
bacco stains may be removed
from washable materials by
moistening with lemon juice and
bleaching in the sun.
Frightening Carpets.-Vacuum-
clean carpets first to remove the
loose dirt and fluff and then
sponge or shampoo with a cloth
wrung out of warm soapsuds, or
use a good carpet soap. Repeat
with another cloth Wrung out of
clear water, and finish with dry
cloth, always rubbing the way Of
the pile.
Egg as Cleanser,~-The yolk of
egg may be used for removing
mud, chocolate or coffee stains
from any kind of material ex-
cept velveteen. Rub into the stain,
wash off with warm soapy water,
and rinse thoroughly.
Rice CaStleS.-Wash 3 ounces
rice and boil until tender. Mix
with 4 ounces honey, 2 ounces cur
rants, 2 ounces raisins, ounces
chopped walnuts. Add a we'll
beaten egg. Grease some small
molds, place a glace cherry in
each, and three-parts fill with the
mixture. Cover and steam for !
hour. Serve with custard.

Quotations"

Of all the ingenious inventions Of
the human brain, perhaps agricul-
ture alone cannot be turned to the
destruction of the human species.
Stanley Casson.
There is today no free land for
the discontented; no Wild West for
the lawless.-James TruslotO adams.
A wife is no longer the property
of her husband in the eyes of the
law and by the general acceptance
of society.-Judge IrUing G.. Hubs.
The kind of pride we get from
long achievement, by which we are
sure of ourselves, is not boastful. 1t
is only when we are suspicious of
the truth about ourselves that we
begin to brag.-Dr. E. NJ. Poteat.

An Actors Temperament.

WE'VE all been waiting for

best wheeze of the month remains

distinguished visitors, including Mr..

Children'S Education

T LIKE the way the wealthy
classes in England rear their
children. Little Rosemary doesn't
recite for the company after dinner,
and if Master Jones-Terwillager Mi
nor gets uppity at school, he gets
thrashed.
Many rich American has known
how sharper than serpent's tooth
it is to see his daughter grow up a
wanton and his boy turn out vast
er. Yet, with few exceptions-so
few that the newspapers comment
on them-it never seems to occur
to these fond fathers that less of
coddling and pampering and spoil
ing in adolescence and more Of
wholesome discipline might produce
a higher average grade of heirs.
What set me to thinking along this
line was being t'other night at
party where a poor little four-year-
old, having already the pitiable as
surance of veteran prima donna,
was fetched in to give impersona-
tions. She never again could imper-
senate natural babyhood though,
more's the pity! And her pert small
brother was encouraged to domi-
nate the talk.
Mark my word for it, that kid is
going to come to no good end-not
even a well-spanked end, which
would help.

L eral-minded patriots who are
striving to steer a middle course
between ultraenthusiastic left-wing-
ers and ultraconservative rightists
might do well, methinks, to follow
the example set by Mr.. Pincus.
Mr.. Pincus had opened a clothing
store. Immediately on one side of
him was the clothing store of Mr..
Ginsberg and Immediately on the
other side was the clothing store of

stores in row were too many even

So the adjacent competitors
framed plot to put the newcomer
out of business. Next morning their
rival, coming down to open up,
found over Mr.. Dreifus' establish
ment a flaming legend, to wit:
BANKRUPT SALE
And above Mr.. Ginsberg's door
was this equally prominent an
nouncement:
CLOSING OUT SALE
Within an hour, smeared across
the entire front of Mr.. Pincus' store,
exactly in between the other two,
appeared huge sign reading as

When the gay tune was done, MIR.
Cleaver had nice color in his cheeks

Rosemary's face, and kissed her.
Rosemary dropped him prim
curtsy, broke sprig of blue flowers
from her shoulder and put it through
his buttonhole. They had another
cigarette, sitting on the steps in the
hall. Rosemary impulsively put her
hand into Johns and left it there.
Then she had third inspiration.

said. why don't you come, Mr..

shrubbery. Would you like that?"

1t is rare that anyone spends more
than a dollar a week on amusements.
Therefore, it might be wise to sit
down with a pencil and paper and
divide $l20 year, the average crime
tax for each of us, by So. You will
find that you are paying more than
two dollars each week for your crime
amusement.
1t might be wise to cut this fellow
off your fun bill. There are too many
clean amusements which that money
can buy, and they will be of vastly
greater benefit to you and your COM
munity than the antics of a shyster rat.
Too many INSCRIPTIONS persons
have been allowed to enter the legal
profession - and have turned to rene
gade practices. Some states, and many
ethical lawyers. are now seeking ways
to safeguard the profession from this
low type of morality. This is en-
couraging, but everywhere there should
be a stringent tightening of the rules
to keep out the man who wants

there is a lot of money to be made

To encourage midwives to more
strictly observe the laws and State
Board of Health regulations gov
erning their practices, the latter
group is preparing to award Ger
tificates of Excellence in Mid

quirements during the last year.
These certificates, clearly marked
with the year in which issued, and
expiring at the end of that year,
may be revoked for cause at any
time a midwife's conduct so just
ifies. Midwives receiving these
certificates will also be given a
round gold seal, 2" in diameter,
and bearing the official stamp of
the State Board of Health, to stick
on their kit bags. State Board of
Health regulations require mid
wives to carry certain materials
and equipment in their kits, and
regular inspections are conducted
to see that they comply. Periodi-
cally, doctors and nurses of the
State Board of Health hold classes
of instructions for these midwives.
Before she may practice, a mid
wife must be endorsed by licens-
ed physician and be registered with
the State Board of Health. She
must promise. in writing. to Obey
the safety rules set up by that
board, and to attend the confer
ences unless excused for reason of
illness or attending a case. The
certificates of excellence, attrac-
lively embossed in blue on a white
paper, carry the seal of the State
Board of Health with two blue rib
bons dangling therefrom. It is
stated thereon that it is awarded
