By The Ap Feature Service

CHICAGO, July T. - When it comes to swallowing things, John Smith, thirty-five, can down a sword to the hilt, or bayonet to the handle. He's a sword-swallower by profession.
 Recently it appeared that John had swallowed something more po- tent than swords or bayonets. He was reeling around at the corner of Van Buren and La Sale streets when two policemen spotted him. They disarmed him of two swords and bayonet he carried in news paper and put him in jail.
 T should have stuck to swords, '' lamented John later They don't hurt you, and besides you don't have a headache next day"

 If motorist with honkless horn wishes to pass another car, he presses a button. The "soundless sound" is picked up by microphone of the leading car.

BUS LOAD OF
HI SCHOOL BOYS
ON A BIG TRIP
Twelve Boys Representing AS
Many States Pass Through
POcOmOke Wednesday

On Wednesday morning of this
week, tall, slender young chap, with
wealth of light hair, looking like
the "peroixide blonde," stepped into
the office of the Democrat" and in
troduced himself as Woodrow Wilson,
He didn't confess himself to be rela-
tive of the late distinguished Ameri-
can, but, of course, said he was born
about the time of the World War, and
was given the name of the war Presi-
dent.
He stated that he was passing thru
Pocomoke City in a bus in which were
eleven boys beside himself, each one
hailing from a different state, he be-
ing from Little Rock, Arkansas (or
Arkansaw). The trip would end at
Washington, d. C.
He explained that the periodical,
Pathfinder, was sponsoring the out
ing in the interest of wider circu-
lation, and that money prize was In
store for the best achievement in the
way of new subscriptions. He found a
COPY of the Pathfinder on the desk
of the Democrat" office, so his busi-
ness with "the boss" was soon finish
ed. He joined his pals in the bus and
continued on his journey northward,
they having come from Norfolk, via
ferry.

TWO MURDERED
CALF. WOMEN
KNOWN in CITY
Sister Of Murdered Woman Mar
ried Native Son Of PO-
cOmOke City
MOTIVE FOR DASTARDLY
DEED REMAINS UNKNOWN

The city papers in their issues of
April 3rd contained accounts of the
murder in Texas of two women, Mrs.
Weston G. Frome, of Berkeley, Calf,
and her 23 year old daughter, Nancy.
The horrible death of these two
socially prominent women was shock
ing news to many Pocomoke people
to whom members of the Frome fam
lily are we'll known.
Miss NADIA Frome, sister of Mr..
Weston G. Frome, before her death
was frequent visitor in Pocomoke
City. She married Charles Colburn,
son of the late, Charles and Emma
Ruthelia Colburn, of this city, and
for a number of years resided in Pan
Argyll, Pa.
The two women were murdered
while they were on their way to visit
Mrs. NADIA McMakin, another daugh-
ter of the Fromes, at Paris Island, S.
C. After five-day search the moth

by side in the west Texas brush coun-
try, clad only in underwear and shoes,
mutilated and dubbed to death, their
bodies mute testimony of the terrible
punishment inflicted by some fiend
or fiends.
Piecing together random bits of in
formation, authorities advanced a
theory that four persons were involved
in the crime. Search for the two men
and two women suspects followed re-
ports that the Frome automobile had
been seen near Balmorhea, two hun
dred miles east of Ell Paso, and close
ly following it coupe containing two
men. Reports also stated that the
coupe, answering the description, had
later contained two women.
Whatever the motive for such a
crime it is devoutly hoped the per-
petrators will be caught and that pun
ishment befitting the crime will be
speedily meted out to them. In the
meantime deep sympathy is felt here
for all members of the Frome fam
lily.

''Chirps" ~
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, this is Tuesday-thlrd
day of the week. Some people, you
know, call it "Chuesday." Well it's
the day 1 choose to blast this column
Of hot air. Lots of people, no doubt,
blast me, if they don't resort to any
stronger phraseology. But they don't
have to read it, if they don't want to.
One of my good friends, now dead
and gone, told me, one day, that this
column made him vomit. But he
would persist in reading it. The only
reason I could think of for his doing
it was, that he must have liked TO
vomit. Saved him a doctors bill.
How-some-ever, am reminded that
today is really "Choose-day." Peo-
ple in this old berg are going to vote
today, if they never vote again. They
are Choosing" a Mayor and Coun-
Gilman on this "Choose-day," and it's
going to be a close call for anybody
who is elected. But people like lit
tie of this sort, once in a while, SO
let 'em rassle.

TWO ALARMS SOUNDEDsE
ON WEDNESDAY LAST

The alarm of fire on Wednesday
morning came from Pilchard Brothers
body-works establishment on Market
Street extended.
Just how it originated is not known,
but it started in a trash heap at the
rear of the building. Grease, oils
old tins, and general rubbish made up
the mixture. The flames were soon
communicated to the rear end of the
house, and had not the fire company
appeared so promptly on the scene,
more damage would have been the re-
suit. AS it was, the entire rear end
of the building was charred. Spon-
taneous combustion was offered as the
cause of the fire.
A second alarm came from the
street leading to the site of the old
Pocomoke River bridge, and formerly
known as Bridge street, but now ser
wing as dump ground.
The house was occupied by colored
people and belonged to Mrs. William
Stevenson. 1t was entirely consumed,
with only partial insurance. Origin
of fire is unknown.

TWO EASTERN
SHORE PROJECTS
NOW PROPOSED
Mr.. GoldsbOrOugh Working For
Channel Between Shad Land
ing And Snow Hill

Representative T. Alan Goldsbor-
ough of Maryland appeared on Mon
day last at a public hearing before
the Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors, War Department, and
urged a favorable report on two Eas-
tern Shore projects.
The hearing was on an appeal by
Mr.. Goldsborough from an adverse de-
cision of the district engineer.
Mr.. Goldsborough urged the board
to restore a recommendation for
dredging a channel between Shad
Landing and Snow Hill. The board
indicated before the hearing ended
that probably they would make fav-
orable recommendation to the chief of
engineers that this work be done.
Local interests also asked that the
channel be extended for distance of
1000 feet above the highway bridge
at Snow Hill; the construction of a
turning basin at the head of the chan
mel and of small boat basin in Crick-
ct creek about 1900 feet below the
highway bridge. Provision for a cut
off channel with a view of eliminat-
ing a bend in the vicinity of Pitts
Landing near the mouth of the river
also was asked.
Mr.. Goldsborough told the board
that there is urgent need for the chan
mel between Shad Landing and Snow
Hill. If the board would recommend
this Improvement, he added, citizens
of the area would not urge that the
other work be done at this time. The
channel project is estimated to cost
$91, ,75O.
