who will carry out our wishes"
A former county official pointed
out that rapid population in
creaseS are making 1t increasingly
difficult to keep the party ma
chine under control. In 1910 the
county had a population of STAT,
spread over its 400 square miles.
Today it has a population of 3d.
600. and the bulk of it is concen-
trated in strip eight miles deep
surrounding the District Line.
The majority of the new resi-
dents are Washington workers
who came into the county seeking
lower rents. They are intelligent
family people who realize that
the county's reputation for lax
law enforcement inevitably will
result in depreciation Of the value

mind to it.
Chemical Mysteries
ITO ME, really mysterious unit is the Chemical
and Plastics Buildings. Here will be shown
the magic processes which transform beans,
milk, and cornstalks into paint, eyeglass frames,
gears, false teeth and what have you.
Besides making this fair really beautiful and
educational treat for every man. woman, and
child in the world to see, they have picked
splendid man in Grover Whalen to be the presi,
dent of it. Now the newspapers may joke lot
about his being the bestdressed man in the
country (Which he Isl and the greatest hand
shaker, but, aside from all that, he is remark
able man. He understands so we'll the art of
meeting people, putting them at their ease and
making THEM feel they are bigger and more i'm
portaht than anyone else while he is talking to
them. Believe me. this is a real gift and one
which cannot be acquired but must be inherited.
Grover Whalen is man of endless patience
who throws his whole heart and soul into what
ever job he undertakes. He is the one and only
man to head the World Fair of 1889 and with
his ability and knowledge of people, this difficult
piece of work will go down as the greatest triumph
of his career.

many of the county'S evils.

But. ironically, repeal only en-

tanning a liquor license for his
hotel sanctuary in Marlboro.
Other smaller recketeers obtained
licenses to cloak their establish
ments with legal respectability.
A majority of the licensed estab-
lishments have made earnest ef-
forst to curb rowdyism and abide
by the regulations. But large
numbers of other places in their
greed began selling liquor after
hours. AS a result when drinking
places closed in Washington, in
ebriated groups and individuals
moved "across the line" to con-
tinue their celebrations.
LUCRATIVE INVESTMENT
1t was just another step and
an easy one for the unscrupulous
to introduce gambling in the back
rooms. Slot machines proved
lucrative investment. crowds
came across the District Line in
increasingly large numbers and al
most every small community
began to notice the breakdown of
law enforcement.

"Why don't you keep your
mouths shut about Prince
Georges county until you clean
up Washington-you're not SC
pure"
That was the admonition Of a
roadside "hot spot" tavern opera
tor who talked freely, with the un-
derstanding that neither his name
nor the location of his establish
ment be made public.
"The people out here" he
said, "are satisfied. The only
howls you ever hear come from
reformers. This is a free State
and we're not going to be die
tated to by outsiders"
His comments were typical of
the philosophy which has encour-
aged the mushroom growth of hun
dreds of "joints" in Prince Georges
county and resulted in recent pro.
tests of civic leaders that county
law enforcement has broken down.
ONLY OUTSIDERS
The development of this philoso-
ply has been been encouraged for
two decades by local politicians
who quietly told their voters that
the wide open operation of the
notorious "Jimmy's Place." one of
the East's largest gambling estab-
lishments was countenanced be-
cause the only people swindled
there were "outSiders"-residents
of Washington and other States.

January of 1898:
We should not assume that we have a higher
conception of morals than other people, or that
Divine Providence has selected us to punish the
wicked. At every step in the development of
world affairs, we should calculate not simply
like moralists, but like practical men, as to what
is the best way to avoid the disaster of war.
In December, 1885, Tom Lamont spoke as
follows:
What kind of world will we face if Britain
is brought to her knees? If the empire is dis
integrated?
"Americo's Contribution to Peace"
FURTHERMORE, Lamont observed, the
weakened prestige of the British is a threat
to United States security; that America has only
been prosperous from 1914 to 1914 because of
the British navy's protection; that Americas
contributions to peace had been merely oral and
that peace cannot be maintained unless dis.

people? How? BY going to war? Lamont
speaks of weakened prestige" of the British In

the international banking group. Morgan & Co.

that the nation would have starved had it not
been for the beneficence of Morgan & Co.!

These implements were inserted

By Zillah M. Waters

Miss Mary Kelley of 1924 East
Tenth Street arrived home from
Chicago last Sunday. Miss Kelley
has been in Chicago the past six
weeks taking up a course of
studies.
Mrs. Naomi Shackleford was in
the city few days visiting with
her husband. Mr.. Shackleford is
employed at the Naval Training
Station on Park Point.
The Interracial Committee of
Duluth has the distinction of be-
ing the only organization with a
Negro member from a white or
ganization on the board of direc-
tors of the Central Y. w. C. A. of
Duluth. That member is Mrs. Ann
Colby Albright.
The Twin Cities have attracted
a number of our young people this
Easter vacation. Miss Harriet
Chairman left Wednesday and
Misses Wanda Lee and Cecilia Nc
Henry and Ruby Jean Wright left
Thursday evening for the cities.
Charles Wiley and Edward With
ers left late Saturday night. Louis
Anderson left Sunday afternoon
with Mr.. and Mrs. George Adams
and Miss Constance Adams.
Mrs. Zenobia Miller left late
Saturday night for Chicago for a
weeks visit with friends.
Easter Morn dawned rather
gloomy but later turned into an
ideal day. The young people were
out in all their glory. A few of
the older ones sailed forth in
bright array, also. I feel that the
day belonged to the children. The
program at ST. Marks A. M. E..
Sunday School, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. B. V. Hoffman, was
well rendered to an appreciative
audience. Little Maxine and Ger
trude Johnson, daughters of Mrs.

en- special mention. The two lit
tie girls very seldom get out. This
time they really made good, as
they ended the program and re-
ceived a great ovation. The pro-
gram of Calvary Baptist Sunday
School was under the direction of
Mrs. Anna Bolts. It was well rem
dered to a large audience. The
services at both churches were well
attended during the day. Plants
from various members of the
church were loaned to decorate the
pulpits.
Mrs. C. Beard, mother of Mrs.
Jessie Wilheit is in st. Paul visit
ing relatives during the Easter
tide.
Mr.. Joseph Albright was in the
city visiting over the weekend.
The sad news reached us of the
sudden death of Theodore Cortil-
liza of Superior, Wisconsin. Mr..
Cortillia has spent most of his life
at the head of the Lakes. He came
here when a boy with his mother,
Mrs. Fob of South Dakota, some
years ago. He leaves his mother,
a wife and son. The funeral
will be held Tuesday at 2 o'clock
at La Sage Undertaking Parlors.
His mother was unable to come as
she is in i'll health.

Keys Preceded by Seals

Keys were preceded by the seals
and intricate knots (of which the
Gordian knot is an example) used
to protect their property. When tents
had given away to houses with
wooden doors, a different kind of
fastening was necessary and by slow
degrees the key was evolved as we
know it, writes Alice r. Rollins
