GOVERNOR NICE
OUSTSSE SENATOR
COMMISSIONER
Harry T. PhOebus, Of Somerset,
Loses Office By Decision
Of Governor Nice
THINKS CANDIDACY FOR
GOVERNORSHIP CAUSE

Senator Harry T. Phoebus, of Som
erset, has been removed from office
by Governor Harry w. Nice, said Of
flee being the Commissioner of Labor
and Statistics. 1t paid $4,000 pei
year.
The three reasons cited by the Gov
ernor for his removal of the commits
sioner were that Senator Phoebus
wrongfully used his position as
mediator in a strike to make an in
vestment in a business; that he mis-,
represented an employers position ir
a strike settlement; and that he
"failed to understand the responsible
ties of his office"
The Governor said he hoped to be
able to appoint a new commissioner
within ten days.
Prior to the election, Senator Phoe-
bus case had been investigated by
Brig -Gen1. Amos Woodcock. Gov
ernor Nice had given Senator Phoebus
an opportunity to resign, but this was
refused as fleeing under fire. Then
came the compulsory retirement of the
official.
Prominently mentioned as success
or to Senator Phoebus is A Stengle
Marine, Esq, of Cambridge, leading
Republican politician of the Shore and
of the State. Mr.. Marine is well
known in Pocomoke and%has many
friends here. The late Mrs. Marine
was a local lady, being before her
marriage, Miss Emma Mills, daugh-
ter of the late Mr.. and Mrs. James
Mills. Of course, everybody here
wishes Mr.. Marine may land the job.
Senator Phoebus evidently had his
friends in this controversy. When he
went to his office to remove some of
his effects, after the ousting, he was
met by committee of employees who
presented him with a friendly testi-
monial in the way of a handsome foun-
tain pen.
Senator Phoebus looks upon his re-
moval, so it is said, as a ruse on the
part of Governor Nice to get rid of a
troublesome rival in the Gubernatorial
race. He says, however, that his hat
is still in the ring and his determine
tion strengthened by the Nice pro-
cedure.
The Senator is good mixer, has a
pleasing personality, is a successful
vote getter, and if in addition to this
he can persuade the electorate to
look upon him as lamb led to the
slaughter, there's no telling what
might happen.

He was graduated from George
Washington University, Washington,
d. c., in 1922. Later, graduating
from the Episcopal seminary at Alex
andria, Va, he served as assistant rec
tor of St. Paul's church, Rock Creek
parish in Washington, D. c.
Chaplain Quinn reentered the naval
service in 1881, succeeding Chaplain
Christopher Lang, who retired that
year. He served on the battleship Ar
kansas. 1932-34 and at the U. S. Nav
al academy during 1884 and 1885.
He was on the U. S. S. Dobbin, des-
troyer tender with the fleet, 1885
and as noted above, on the Chau-
mont during the pat two years.
His boytime experiences in the
newspaper office in Crisfield are OF
value to the chaplain these days. Just
last week was launched under his
supervisorship a news weekly, The
Subbase Patrol. It's an interesting
newsy sheet.
Chaplain Quinn was married in jan
uary, 1927 to Miss Dorothy Davis, OF
Alvin, Texas. They reside at 727
Spencer ST., Honolulu.
Chaplain Quinn is great grandson
of the late Mr.. and Mrs. William j.
S. Clarke, of Pocomoke; is a son OF
Editor and Mrs. Lorie G.. Quinn, OF
Crisfield; a nephew of Mrs. A. G
Adams, and of Mrs. James B. Town

other relatives in this city.

have it generally known that my hus-
band, Mr.. James M. Custis, and I have
agreed to live permanently apart.
This decision has not been reach
ed by reason of any sort of dis
reputable circumstances, but simply
by a mutual agreement and a realiza-
ton of a lack of congenialty and love
which should exist between married
people. We part holding for each
other the highest respect and esteem.

The nurse, wheelin' the woman in
to our ward, held up her finger for
quiet and everything went the
deadly still that it does when the
stretcher is wheeled in. We lay
there, once more, waitin' for the
ether moanin' to stop, and Mrs.
Maloney went to sleep, for you can
get used to anything. My mind
was too full of Judith to let me
sleep and I got interested watchin'
the nurse as she waited for the
woman to come out of the drug
sleep. When I heard the nurse
speak in the low voice we knew it
meant she was gettin' awake, ]
raised my head to see what the
new neighbor was like.
I'VE get to be a curious lot, YOU
know, shut in that way. Not
young. Her hair was white and
there were deep lines in her face,
but at that a youngSter, seemed
to sort Of hang around her. She
couldn't be as old as that white
hair dated her and I bet she'd
been beauty in her day. Well
she'd probably tell us her story
some day.
Just then she tossed her head
flung her arms outside the cover
and, with a deep sigh, settled
down to quiet again. The surgi
cal coat had slipped from her
shoulders. They were the kind or
which to hang pearls. For a lone
moment I looked upon her face
then I motioned to the nurse:

"Of course, right at first, no one
knew about that outside the house.
Mrs. Bryce didn't trust him and
was sick about the whole buSl-
ness but she was tryin' to be
careful how she handled it. Blanca
was heart broken, but, as I said,
they'd learned to give up what
belonged to the other when they
were little girls, and, OF course,
this time there was nothing else
for Blanca to do.
''For the first time, Blanca got
ready to go off on visit without
Judith, and then the awful thing
happened. Judith's maid said the
two girls were upstairs talkin'
things over in the livin' room
which they shared, just off their
two bedrooms. Blanca said she
guessed she'd go UP to the attic
| to see, for herself, some things
she wanted to take along on the
trip, and left the room. Judith
called that she'd help, but Blanca
called back, No. please and
Judith turned back.
"Then she seemed to think bet
ter of it and started after Blanca.
She reached the attic just in time
to see Blanca raise a revolver.
Judith grabbed Bianca's arm and
the shot tore a nasty hole in the
upper part of Judith's left arm.
We'll, of course, that loosened her
hold on Bianca's arm, and the
next minute Blanca had pressed
the revolver against her own heart
and dropped at Judith's feet.

wantin' to be alone.
Every one of us hoped that
the whole awful thing would kill
her love for the man, but he saw

in the group, will not only give UNI
told service but it stands for style
personified in the sports clothes

outfit reflects exquisite standards OF

And what wealth of style these

WE SAY luncheon mats yet,
w more and more, mats are be-
ing used three times a day. This
change from the traditional table
cloth saves time and laundry; the
color and variety of mats add in
terest to table settings.
A set of sheerest organdie is
used with dainty china. The mat
shown here is the other extreme.
1t is made of soft blue denim and
is embroidered in heavy white cot
ton. Napkins may be made to
match, or plain white napkins
may be used. Here are all the
directions you will need for the
embroidery.
Cut the mats the desired size,
pulling thread of the fabric to
guide you in cutting the edge
straight. Hem the edges by hand
with ss-inch hens, using matching
cotton sewing thread or raveled
threads of the fabric if they are
strong enough. Now, blanket stitch
over the hens with the embroid-
cry thread as shown here at A.
Next, make tiny chain stitches be-
tween the blanket stitches as at B.
This completes the embroidery for
the long sides of the mats. The
short ends are embroidered more
deliberately. Make a v stitch at
the top Of every other blanket
stitch as shown at c. Chain
stitches are then made as at D.

Bed Capes Used as Evening
Wraps Over Summer Frock.

Recently some very cunning
breakfast-in-bed capes have been
brought out that are crocheted with
tiers of little ruff1es from neck to
hemline. They are too lovely to
be secluded in the boudoir, at least
that is evidently the thought of
young and daring daughters Of the
household who conceived the idea
of appropriating these delectable
capes for wear as evening wraps
over their summer frocks, and from
all reports the idea is working out
to perfection.
