of the Barn Dance proved this.
Two reasons that the public has
confidence in Puget Sound Lodge:
Bro. j. T. Bradley, treasurer of Pu-

The Holding Committee is doing
a very business-like job in their
management of the Home. Their
numbers still remain intact and the
Lodge is relieved of many details
that allow time for the practices of

for some more Fresh Meat. Don't

EASTERN VA. PROJECTS
UNFAVORABLY REPORTED

The report of the pending propo-
ition for the improvement of Small
ers Drain, Assateague Island, Vas
and Assateague Channel, Accomack
County, Va, with view to it's pro-
lection and preservation; also the
protection of Chincoteague Island and
property thereon from erosion and
storms, authorized by the river and
harbor act of August 26, 1887, has
been made, and is unfavorable to the
improvements. The principal grounds
upon which the adverse conclusions
are based are that an improved chan
mel through Smallers Drain is un-
necessary for navigation and would
be ineffective in arresting erosion of
Chincoteague Island; that channel
at the mouth of Assateague Channel
would be difficult to maintain without
jetties which would not be justified
by the resulting benefites: that the
protection of Chincoteague Island by
a bulkhead would be of little benefit
to navigation and to the general pub
lie in reducing damages by storms
to navigation; and that the benefits
and erosion would not be sufficient
to justify participation in the work
by the United States.

$4,000 WOMEN
ARE EMPLOYED in
SEWING PROJECTS

More than $4,000 women have been
given employment on Is sewing pro-
jects in Maryland under the Works
Progress Administration, it was re-
vealed this week by F. H. Dryden,
State Administrator.
These projects, launched in many
sections Of the State during the past
two and half years, served a double
purpose, according to Mr.. Dryden.
They permitted women regarded as
"bread winners" in their families to
earn money, at the same time pro-
viding major source of clothing for
needy families.
While some of these projects have
been suspended, at the present time
more than 900 women are employed
on sewing projects, supporting them
selves and hundreds of dependents.
This work is carried out under the
Women's and Professional Division of
the Works Progress Administration.
Today sewing projects are active in
Baltimore City and the following coun
ties: Allegany, Anne Arundel, Caro-
line, Frederick, Garrett, Prince
Georges, Somerset, Talbot, Washing
ton, Wicomico, and Worcester Coun-
ties.
These women are producing gar
ments to clothe the needy unemployed
in the State. Each month they are
Transforming 41,0O0 yards of textiles
into 10000 garments.
During the past the sewing projects
have been sponsored by the Board of
State Aid and Charities, through local
Welfare Boards. Mr.. Dryden reveal
ed this week that on July these pro-
jects will be sponsored by the County
Commissioners in the various coun-
ties where they are active, and by

FISHING APPEARS GOOD
IN CRISFIELD WATERS

Fishing in Crisfield waters took on
it's usual "big-catch" aspect, when a
party from Western Maryland and
West Virginia took more than 600
fish of various species from Tangier
Sound on Sunday. CAPT. Nuke
Purnell had the party in charge.
The party consisted of Messrs.
Karl Kahl, Oakland, Md; Junior
Woodward, Grafton, W. Va; E. F.
Klege, Wheeling, w. Va; C. E. Fisher
Wheeling; A. F. Rexford, Wheeling;
A. R. Cunningham, Warrington, w.
Va; and John Barr of Paramount,
w. Va.
The catch consisting mostly of
trout and croakers, but to Mr.. Barr
went the greatest catch. Mr.. Barr
landed a 47-pound Channel Bass,
after a stiff fight.
Another party of local people, with
Capt. Clifton Charnock, consisted of
Mesrs. Wack Howard, Tom Blades,
William Laird; r. l.. Davis and Ed
ward Arnold had good catch, mostly
of trout and croakers. They also
fished in Tangier Sound.
Good fishing in local waters usually
lasts from late May until November,
but was few days getting started
this season. However, since these
and other good catches have been re-
ported, the fishing season is now on.
and sportsmen can be assured a rea-
sonable success when fishing in the
waters adjacent to Crisfield.

DR.. Herbert E. Ives of the Bell
Telephone Laboratories, 1Oh0 has
lust confirmed q famous scientific
theo7u 1Ohich proves that q moving
clock actually runs more slowly
than one at rest.
when the theory was announced were
adequate for a crucial test. But by
using as a "clock" the light-giving
oscillation Of a hydrogen ion, which
can be shot down a vacuum tube at q
thousand miles a second, it is possible
to measure a definite change in the
color of the light. That, of course,
means change in the rate of vibra-
ton of the atom.
DIR. Ives apparatus uses a vacuum
tube in which there is small amount
of hydrogen. An electric arc breaks
down the hydrogen molecules into
charged ions. These are picked up by
a high-voltage electric field and
brought up to speeds of the order of
a thousand miles a second. Looking
into the end of the tube, the observer
sees these ions approaching him, and
by means of mirror he also sees
them apparently receding from him.
If his eyes were sufficiently sensi-
tive to color, he would notice that the
receding ones were redder than the
approaching ones; this is the Doppler
effect, which also makes the horn of
an approaching car sound higher
pitched than that of a receding car.
But as compared with the color Of sta
4ionary ions, those moving in either
direction are redder; that is, they
-vibrate more slowly. And that is what
Fitzgerald, Larmor and Lorentz pro-
posed nearly 40 years ago-atomic
"clocks" oscillating more slowly as
they move through a stationary
medium called "the ether"

During the winter many of these
projects concentrated on making chill
dren's clothing, that was distributed
to children of school age. Comment
ing on this program, Mr.. Dryden said:
"The educational angle of the sew
ing projects is of paramount impor-
lance. Hundreds of women have
been taught to make their own and
their children's clothing. Whether
they use this knowledge in the flu
ture to secure places in private in
dustry, or use it only in their homes
it will be of incalculable benefit to
them"

jects, modern factory methods prevail

BOSTON, Sept 23-Wind gusts of
approximately 173 and 1856 miles an
hour were recorded at the Harvard
Meteorological Observatory on top of
nearby Blue Hill during the height
OF Wednesdays hurricane, Director
Charles F. Brooks announced today.
Wind velocity Of Ill miles per hour
was recorded on the summit In three
5-minute periods at sos, $40 and
1912 pm. (E. D. IT,. The velocities
were the highest in the observatory's
53-year history.
The wind reached 60 miles an hour
shortly after 4 pm and remained
continuously above that velocity from
4:35 to 7:35 pm From S to 6 pm.
the velocity averaged SO miles per
hour.
DIR. Brooks attributed the difference
between the observatorys 111-mile-
an-hour maximum for a 5-minute
period and the Boston Weather Bu-
reau's SO miles per hour for 5-minute
period was due apparently to the
hills SO obstructing the free flow of
wind that it had to flow over the top
at higher rate"
The observatory's most sensitive
recorder, French windmill anemo-
meter, began to disintegrate when
registering a 5-minute velocity at 80
miles. It broke under a 10O-mile gust.

When the wind reached IS miles
an hour, quit driving" Capt. James
Spedeker. U. S. NJ. c., said last night
in describing his experiences while
travelling through the heart OF the
storm which ravaged New England
Wednesday afternoon.
The wind was breaking off big elm
trees and blowing them across the
road" he continued. Il was afraid
one Of them might hit us"
Capt. Snedeker, who is attached to
the judge advocates office in the
Navy Department, and his wife were
returning from vacation in Quebec.
They had left Boston in the morning
and were on their way to New York
when they ran into the hurricane
He had been through two, hurrica mes
before-one at Key West and the other
at sea in the Caribbean.
But was hardly nonchalant," he
smiled.
This storm was different from the
others, he explained, in that 1t was
entirely unexpected. On his way south
from Boston, where he had stopped
overnight everything was clear until
he reached Sturbridge, Mass, Is miles
east OF Springfield
There they told lis that several
dams had broken. and the road was
washed out in several places" he
said. They had had five days of rain,
and everything was flooded, so We had
to detour south towards the Sound
and U. S. No. l. There was no sigr
OF the storm at that time. The sky
was clear. and there was little wind.
1T wasn't until We were in Say
brock. Conn. that we first noticed any
storm coming. When we reached New
Haven We ran into trouble. Half
the roads were under water, and We
had to zig-zag back and forth to
proceed. When we reached Fairfield,
just west OF Bridgeport, We had to
stop"
