MY MOTHER ON THE
EASTERN SHORE
Written in 1919.
Set to music in 1920
BY w. D. Greene

You may talk about the girl you
left behind you;
You may rave about her eyes,
and golden hair;
I have some one far more precious
to remember;
To whom no blue eyed maiden
can compare
It has been a long. long time since
I embraced her
And perhaps her dear face I
shall see no more;
But in my heart I cherish still the
image
OF my mother whom l left on
Eastern Shore.
Chorus
I can see my home tonight,
With the morning glories bright,
Making halo round my mother in
the door;
While the honey-suckles sweet,
Do my longing senses greet,
In our little home down on the
Eastern Shore.
I never shall forget the day we
partd;
Her eyes were filed with tears
and yet she smiled;
7 am giving all have unto my
country;
Oh! God: in mercy keep my only
child.
Her prayer was heart and soon l
hope to see her;
OH how I long to see her smile
once more,
And lay my war-scarred head upon
her bosom
In our little home down on the
Eastern Shore.

WASHING TON
FROM OUR CONGRESSMAN
WILLIAM r. ALLEN

IN COMPLIANCE with my re-
quest of sometime ago the Com
mandant of the Coast Guard now
advises me that his Department
will erect new and modern Coast
Guard Station at Indian River IN
let as soon as the work on the in
let is completed.
BANKRUPTCY LAWS-A plan
to modify the Federal Bankruptcy
laws has been approved by both
Houses Of Congress. Corporation
and other business organizations,
under the plan, could take their
debt problems to court in an effort
to reach an agreement with their
creditors on an adjustment of
downward debt charges. Those
wage earners whose total income
does not exceed $4,000 year
would have the same privileges.
CHILD LABOR For years Con
gress has been trying to put an end
to child labor in industry and each
time it failer In 1916, 1918, 1918
and in 1922 Congress tried and
tried to stop the employment in in
dustry of children under IA years
Of age and each time the upreme
Court found the law invalid. Then
came the struggle to have the Con
stitution amended to give Con-
gress the power to legislate an
end to child labor. The States
protested however, and refused to
approve the amendment. Today
Congress is again trying to put
stop to this unfair practice. The
age limit has been raised, however,
to 16 years. 1t is now taken for
granted that the Supreme Court,
because of the view of its decision
in the upholding Of the Wagner
Labor Relations Act, will approve
the law barring labor of children.
If this happens it will be unneces-
sary to amend the Constitution.
FORMULA FOR RECOVERY
1889 is being looked forward to as
the year for a definite recovery.
Because the building industry has
continued to resist relation, it is
believe dthis industry shows a de-
mand that could easily aid recov-
cry to a great extent. Consumer
incomes are, at the same time, way
ahead of production. Raw mater
ials will be bought heavily by the
automobile industry in the months
to come and this with price ad-
justments and a reduced downpay-
ment, will increase the buying of
automobiles in 1889 These signs
and a few others should bring
about recovery.
FLEET DIVIDED-A great deal
of comment is brought out on the
orders for transferring Of the Fleet
from the Pacific to the Atlantic
for war maneuvers next year.
Those approving such plan feel
that such an action would prove
the strength of American defense
power. Other nations will be
strongly impressed by such a shift,
it is contended by this group.
Those opposing such action argue
that it will in no way greatly af-
feet nations internationally and
that part of the Fleet is needed in
the Pacific.
