critics acclaim. A dramatic
stirring story of the Old South,
it is in complete contrast to the
light comedies with which it
shares popularity today.
Henry Fonda, George Brent,

Fay Banter, Richard Cromwell,
Henry O'Neill, Spring Byington
and John Litel are in the cast.

Warner Bros. has ruled that
the latest March of Time can
not play the screens Of theaters
controlled by them. They call
it Nazi propaganda.

the program opening today.

the sequence says:
For its second feature in this
issue, March of Time has
chosen "Nazi COnqueSt-NO. L."
the story of Hitler's conquest Of
Austria, the end of her 800
years of independence. March
of Time explains why Hitler's
lightning blow at Austria was

idly depicted are the changes
NaZiiSm has already wrought in
Austrian life.
The conquest of Austria was
planned for by Hitler in his
book, Mein Kampf, IA years
ago. The film explains why
Anschluss may be only the first
step in the ruthless foreign pol

SociaI-Drama Club

Stage fever has brought into
existence a social-dramatic club
Holy Comforter Ceramistians.
The name originates from the
Potterers' Guilds Of the Middle
Ages. These guilds produced
plays which used the Holy Ghost
for their inspiration.
The Holy Ghost is the patron
Of Holy Comforter Parish and
Of the club; so in commemora-

they have selected the word

SET THE STYLES
Honor guest at a Fourth
Estate cocktail party rendered
by Loew's, Inc, in Variety Club
at twilight, Mr.. Keisling talked
Informally about the tremendous
influence of Hollywood on ma
tional life and customs.
He thinks America, and civlli'
zation generally, can thank
Cecil B. DeMille for making the
bathroom one of the beautiful
appointments of the modern
home.
For Mr.. DeMille, with his
sunken tubs and his perfumes,
his ultra inventions that made
the habit of cleanliness more
than casual ablutions, educated
the public to bath luxury.
Likewise movies have elinli-
mated from the national scene
the addressed person from the
country, once known as "hick"
or a "rube."

The girl from the farm coun-
try, and the so-called yokel, can

At least they can watch the

or the newsreels, and find out
exactly what's-what in styles, he
opines.
Did you ever stop to think
what would happen to the world
If we should stop making
movies?" inquired Mr.. Kiesling.
I confessed I would probably
have to do less agreeable work,
and Mr.. Kiesling thought that
a good answer.
He claims that Hollywood sets
the styles (and not Paris),
credits the industry with estab-
fishing the vogue for pajamas,
or slacks, as standard attire for
women, night and day; of help
ing to fix the average length of
skirts; of setting the mode IN

larity of solid color shirts for

ed at St. Johns M. E. Church, on
Deals Island, on Sunday morning:
July 17th when the friends of this

service at that time.
St. Johns Church is one Of the

grave by the side of this church is
visited by many Methodists.
The speaker of the occasion will be
Rev. DR.. B. C. Warren, one of the
old time pastors of this historic church
and one of the "old friends" whom
the people of the Island always greet
with open arms and joyous welcome.
DR.. Warren will bring as a spec
ial message for this occasion a topic
which is seldom presented in these
more modern days but perhaps days
that are less clear-sighted in spirit
ual verities of the Gospel message.
His theme will be one that should be

MARION STATION
HAS DISASTROUS
FIRE SATURDAY
Several Buildings Are Prey To
Frames. Three Shore
Towns Send Aid

Marion Station was visited by a fire
early Saturday morning which as
sumed alarming proportions and for
a while threatened the entire business
section of the town.
Two Crisfield motorists saw the
flames when five miles from Marion
and drove through the town shouting
the alarm. By that time flames were
licking at the firehouse and post Of
flee doors across the street and two
other buildings were in flames. Mar
ion firemen drove their engine thru
charred doors and a wall Of flame to
battle the fire.
Two buildings, grocery store of
Harold Lokey, and the Marion garage,
owned by A. Roy Woodland, and op-
Grated by Allen Green, Leroy Brid-
dell and John Dougherty, were destroy
ed. Two cars, one owned by Miss
Gertrude Coulbourne, County Health
Nurse, and a wrecking car were burn
ed.
Firemen from Salisbury, Crisfield
and Princess Anne, assisted the Mar
ion firemen in bringing the flames
under control.
Damage to the postoffice, and three
other buildings ignited by the heat
and flaming embers, was not serious
although for a time the heat was so
intense that the lock of U. S. mail
box in front of the office was burn
ed into a solid mass Of metal.
Firemen directed their fight at the
rear of the building near the reser-
voir. Flames sweeping from the for
ward part enveloped row Of gaso-
line pumps but the underground tanks
did not explode.
The origin of the fire is not known.

PEOPLES COLUMN

To the Editor of the Democrat:
Dear Sir:
| would like to compliment you on
the editorial on Pocomoke baseball in
the issue of July /. believe you made
clear that, while Pocomoke does not
have a winning club, it does have a
club worthy of the fans patronage.
Because the club is in last place, is
no reason for the fans to desert it,,
just when their encouragement is
needed most. Look at Dover last
year-it finished deep in the cellar
but the years attendance was one of
the highest in the league. This year,
Dover is up there just out of first
place, in the thick Of the pennant
fight. And how about Cincinnati ?
For four straight years the Reds fin
ished in last place in the National
League and yet the fans remained
loyal to the club. They supported it
as if it were pennant contender each
year and such loyalty drew praise

club in organized baseball is making

one or two other shore towns will
step in to bid for the franchise.

THE JAPANESE
BEETLE CAUSING
GREAT CONCERN
AS High AS 10000 Have Been
Caught Daily In POGO
moke City
JAPANESE BEETLE TOUR
THURSDAY, JULY 21ST

The Japanese beetle is causing
great concern in many places this
year. AS high as 10000 beetles have
been caught daily at Pocomoke and
some farmers have reported serious
damage to corn and soybeans.
DIR. George S. Langford, Specialist
in Insect Control, College Park, an
nounces there will be a Japanese
Beetle tour in the vicinity of Elkton
Thursday, July 21st. 1t is hoped that
many Worcester County farmers and
others will attend this tour, so that
they will understand the damage that
this insect is capable of doing under
conditions of heavy infestation. The
tour will show large scale trapping
demonstrations in an area of about
80 square miles. Local people who
are interested in taking this tour
should get in touch with County
Agent R. T. Grant before the morning
of July 21st.
The State of Maryland is putting
on large scale campaign against the
ravages of this insect. 800 colonies
of wasp working as a parasite on
the beetle have been liberated this
spring. More colonies will be distri-
buted this fall locally. Spraying ac-
tivities have been carried on at heav-
lily infested loading points. Traps
have been distributed in Berlin, New
ark, Snow Hill and Pocomoke, espec-
tally around loading areas, in an eff
fort to trap beetles.
The adult beetles live about so days.
Eggs are laid in the soil during the
summer. These eggs hatch into grubs
which feed on the roots of grass and
plants for the remainder of the sum-
mer and fall. About the last of Aug
ust or first of September the lawns
can be treated, using arsenate of lead
at the rate of 10 pounds to 1000
square feet of lawn. This will pro-
tect the lawn for years. This may
be applied either in water or in a dry
state. If applied dry, mix 1 pound
of lead arsenate with 25 pounds of
moist sand, soil, or other suitable ma
terial. Spread evenly over the turf.
Wash the arsenate in the ground with
hose after application is made.
If applying wet, mix, 1 pound of
arsenate of lead to gallons of water
A power sprayer will give an even
distribution. At this dilution apply
20 gallons of spray material to 1000
square feet. After applying spray
wash the material from the grass be-
fore it dries.
The japanese beetle feeds on most
all shrubbery except evergreens. 1t
destroys corn, soybeans, alfalfa and
other forage and vegetable plants. 1t
feeds on apples, peaches and most
fruits, attacking over 200 different
plants.
To repel the beetle by spraying,
mix 1 pound of hydrated lime with 8
gallons of water or mix level table
spoonfuls of dry lead arsenate with
8 level tablespoonfuls of flour and 1
gallon of water.
To kill the beetle by spraying use
contact sprays such as pyrethrum.
