AUTO ACCIDENT
CAUSES DEATH
OF MRS. SHEHAN
Wife OF Circuit Judge w. Mason
Shehan Dies At Stevens
vile, Maryland
WAS WELL KNOWN IN
STATE SOCIAL CIRCLES

Mrs. w. Mason Shehan, wife of the
chief judge of the Second Judicial Cir
cult, died in Stevensville, Kent Island
Tuesday night, as a result of truck
automobile crash, which also slightly
injured her son, w. Mason, Jr, "a,
well-known international starboat
racer.
Young Shehan, ranking racing skip
per in his class on the Chesapeake
Bay, told police the Shehan automobile
collided with parked unlighted truck
between Stevensville and Annapolis
Matapeake Ferry landing at Kent Is
land
State police reported the driver of
the truck was Kenneth Bucket, of
Graysonville. Bucket had pulled his
truck to one side of the highway
police said, after the headlights went
out, and was working on it when the
Shehan machine struck it from behind.
Neither Bucket nor his wife and his
mother, who were standing near by,
were injured. The truck was dam
aged slightly.
Mrs. Shehan and her son had said
good-by to Philip, her younger son,
who had taken the ferry for Annapolis
to return to Baltimore, where he is
employed by the Gas and Electric
Company.
Dr. William P. Hammond of Easton,
Mrs. Shehan's home, pronounced her
dead.
An investigation of the accident was
begun Immediately by State police,
Sheriff T. Herberet Everett, of Queen
Anne's county, and Magistrate j.
West Thompson, of Centreville.

For Governor, the lead of O'Conor'
over Nice is still growing. 1t is es-
timated that it will surpass that OBJ
tanned by the late Gov. A. c.. Ritchie
when he was at the peak of his popu-
larity. This, in spite of the scurril-
lous articles published during the
campaign, and in spite of Mrs. Bauern
schmidt's late detection to the Repub-
lican band wagon. Indeed this lady's
acrobatic feat landed her on her back
instead of on her feet, and it was
thought also landed many votes for
O'Conor.
Just where Nice thought he would
be strongest, O'Conor seems to have
had the drawing power-in the coun-
ties. And when all the returns are
examined the governor-elect may poll
between $1,000 and a 10000 majority.

NATIONWIDE
SALE OF SEALS
TO BEGIN 24TH
Thanksgiving Day AS Usual Will
Mark Opening of Tuber-
culOSiS Plan
EVERY PART OF STATE
BENEFITS FROM PURCHASE

Thanksgiving Day, as usual will
mark the opening Of the nationwide
sale of the Christmas seals through
which much of the tuberculosis work
in this country is financed. The al
lotment for this State will be distri-
buted through the Maryland Tubercu-
losis Association. The sale will con-
tinue until the close of the Christmas
season.
Urging prompt, generous buying
Of the little tickers, DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health said: "Put tuberculosis seals
as Item, Number 1, Important, at the
head of your Christmas shopping list.
Buy early and often-and then buy
some more. You can have great salts
faction in the investment because
every seal you buy helps provide am
munition for the fight against this
disease that hits hardest at young
people and at older ones in the prime
Of life. 1t is significant that special
emphasis is laid in the design for this
years seal, with it's tiny picture of a
family group, on the protection of the
home from tuberculosis.
Every part of the State and every
age group-young and old-benefit
from the sale of the little seals. Some
of the capital derived from your
investment in the seals is used for
the chest clinics held in the counties
under the joint direction of the State
Department of Health and the Mary
land tuberculosis Association. Since
the partnership was started fifteen
years ago, over $4,000 persons-men,
women and children-have had the
benefit of chest examinations by ply
icians with special experience in this
field, and of advice and after care in
sanatoriums or in their own home.
"Some of the money derived from
the sale of the Christmas seals is
used for the purchase of portable
X-ray outfits and other equipment
that enable the doctors to detect the
presence of the disease before ire
parable damage has been done. Some
of it is used for educational purposes,
for training doctors and nurses in the
treatment and care of those exposed
to the disease or suffering from it.

where children who have been in con-
tact with tuberculosis are cared for, !

''Chiirps''
from the
Democrats S Pen

Well, Sir, it's funny thing to me
how religious some of these politicians
get around election times; and yet il
is commonly asserted that politics and
religion should not mix.
But, to hear some of 'em talk, you'd
think the redemption of this sinful
world depended on their efforts at
pointing out the road to salvation.
And yet, have an idea it has been
so long since some of 'em were in
a church, they wouldn't know an altar
from pew; the apse from the nave;
or the choir leader from the clergy
man. They've almost forgotten the
street on which the church is located.
Sunday is nothing to them but an
other holiday, and the radiator cap of
their motor car is pointed toward a
road house where they'll "Jitterbug"
to canned music, instead of toward a
church where they could listen to
hymns, chants, or TIE Deums, and
really prove that religion meant some
thing to them.
Here they come at election days,
and warn the world about the doom
awaiting christendom if certain
candidates are elevated to office. They
profess undying devotion to the Faith
of our Fathers" and yet they couldn't
put into words one single tenet of
their creed. They have, during the
past campaign, sought to terrorize by
picturing the woeful results of en-
trusting certain religionists with state
control, when they couldn't tell you
to save their lives, the difference be-
tween Romanism and Catholicism.
They have made capital out of the
middle name of Mr.. O'Conor: but, if
it had been "Remus" instead, it
wouldn't have meant thing to their
young lives-or old, for that matter.
They waive a red flag and tell us it is
the symbol of a popish Hierarchy,
and, ere long, we'll all be wearing
vestments and adopting the usual
form of tonsure.
And why all this thusness? To de-
ceive people who do not know. 1t is
