FIREMEN'S MEET
Senator Tydings Takes Occasion
To Score Government On
It's Spending Orgy

I Pocomoke City was represented a
the Annual Convention of the Wor
cester County Volunteer Firemen, helc
at Newark on Wednesday of this
week. The big pumper was taker
along, and Chief Fred Henderson car
ried along a fair representation from
the local company. Ocean City won
first place in the parade, with Ber-
lin second.
The firemen approved proposed
legislation to increase the annual tax
assessment for the Worcester fire
companies from / to cents.
Charles W. Mitchell, of Newark,
was reelected president Of the county
association. Other officers elected
were Howard H. Wainwright, of
Ocean City, vice-president; Edward M.
Hill, of Snow Hill, serretary-treasur-
er, and the Rev. D. S. Blair, of Ocean
City, chaplain. Ocean city was select
ed for next years convention.
Senator Tydings was the principal
speaker of the occasion, and Millard
F. Tawes, of Crisfield spoke on the
work and accomplishments Of a Vol
unteer Company.
Senator Tydings said the nation
was entering the tenth year of de-
preston with the Government by its
spending orgy" keeping the average
busines man from taking chance
to improve industry"
"We have all got to know more
about Government" he asserted.
"Within the next two years we must
develop a voting population that
knows what it wants, and one that
will elect men who will keep US in
formed as to what our Government ac-
tually is doing"
Speaking briefly on the financial
situation of the railroads, the Senator
asserted, "the people own the rail-
roads" by virtue of life insurance
company investments in the roads
and said aid to the industry should
be supported by the people.

Squire's Judgment On
Tuuo Cases Changed
Continued from Page l

Higgs' attorney asked the magls-
trate to explain why the case had been
entered on his 1888 docket when it
had been tried last October. Merrill
replied that a paper clip had held
several of the pages together and that
consequently he had recorded the case
on an advanced page.
Earlier, Judge Samuel K. Dennis
released Young from the Cut after
the prisoner had spent ninety-six days
of the eighteen-month sentence on d
charge of unauthorized use of an au-
tomobile last February.
Young also had been charged with
displaying improper markers, drunk
en- driving, driving on a revoked IL
cense and reckless driving. He was ac-
Quilted of the drunken driving charge
but was fined a total of $310 and
costs on the others.
The magistrates docket entry re.
vealed that Young had been sent tc

Maurice Fleming, sports commen-

in last Tuesdays broadcast that Po-
comoke would be in the first division
before long as they have a good hit

Fleming is considered an authority on
sports and we trust that the POGO

It may be said that Pocomoke led
the league last week in total hits,
having connected for 67 safeties; and
a team hitting the ball with such reg

remain in the field until the latter
part of August, visiting sections Of
the State not ordinarily reached by
the child health conferences held reg
ularly throughout the year. 1t will
be used for informal conferences with
mothers about the health needs OF
their children, and for the eXamina-
ton of babies and young children
who are not under medical supervis-
ion.
The tour started in Cecil County
on May 2. The trailer remained in
that county until May 8, and then
went on to Charles County where it is
to stay until May 25. The provision
al schedule for the rest of the seasons
as announced by DR.. ]. H. M. Knox,
Jr., Chief of the Bureau of Child Hy-
giene names August to 16 as the
days for being in Worcester County.
The arrangements for each county
are under the direction of the county
health officer. The staff includes a
physician with special experience in
the care of babies and young chill
dren, a dentist, and public health
nurse. DR.. Elizabeth Sherman who
has been the examining physician for
several seasons, is in charge again
this year.
The up-to-date trailer takes the
place of the healthmobile that has
been familiar sight on Maryland
highways and byways-especially the
latter-during the warmer months,
since 1923. Popularity known as the
Health Bus" the trailer is fitted up
with all the equipment usually found
in children's clinic. It is divided
into two compartments; one used for
the physical examinations; the other
for the dental examinations and treat
ments. Health movies are shown in
the evenings.
Over $500 children were examined
at the health conferences held in con-
nection with the tour of the health
trailer, last summer. The trailer Wis
tied nine counties, travelled over
1000 miles and made stops at nearly
200 places.
The aim of the conferences is to
show mothers how to keep their chill
dren well. No medical treatments
are given. Children in need of medi-
cal care are referred to their own doc
tors.
The travelling conferences supple
ment the regular child health confer
ences that will be held as usual in the
rest of the State.

over the nation.
Freight carloadings reliably mir
rOred the down-hill rush of business
shipments this Fall. Loadings for the
last week in December were at the
lowest level for any similar week in
four years. Although traffic is still 20
per cent below the 1887 figures, there
has been a sharp rebound in loadings
in the last fortnight.
Banking figures are beginning to
be optimistic Commercial loans con-
tinue to slide off gradually. They are
down six per cent since their peak in
October, showing that inventories are
being worked off. Bank debts are
down Is per cent. On the other hand,
deposits have halted their down-trend
which set in almost a year ago, and
are $100,000,00O above their December
lows.
Retail trade is the most optimistic
of all the barometers. Merchants have
put on attractive "sales'' to keep
goods moving. AS a result, retail trade
had held up splendidly. Christmas
volume was off only two per cent
from 1886, while January clearances
have been within five to 10 per cent
of a year ago. Good retail trade is
helping to hold and to boost volume
in all lines.
Settlement Barometer Weakest.
Now, what does the performance Of
these barometers mean While they
do not defiaitely show that we have
rounded the bottom, they do indicate
that business is stabilizing and that
we have probably seen the worst. The
barometer which has the lowest read
ing of all right now is business SEN
timent". Underling factors have a
more important effect in the long-run
than surface conditions such as the
present name-calling contest at Wash
ington. But to an end to the current
"era of bad feeling" would do more
to heal sentiment and to help this
mid-winter upturn than any other
single factor.
