the family purse. Do you
price Tag" happiness:
The young husband says his
wife calls high price-itis "hap-
piness," but he thinks it is bet
ter labeled "unhappineSs." This
couple was married for six years
and we're very happy during the
early days of wedlock. He had
a good job and they lived in a
nice home.
During the depression things
changed for the tougher. The
stork winged his way to the
family chimney and the wolf
was at the door.
Struggled
Through Depression
1t was a time of penny pinch
ing and heart-breaking small
economies. But the husband
and wife didn't fight about that.
They consoled themselves with
the thought theirs was not the
only family in the dog house.
Last year after trying several
jobs, the husband finally got a
break. One raise was followed
by others. More responsibility
and a fat pay check. Lucky?
Maybe you'd think so, but here's
his lament:
There are three thousand
and three things we. need.
Clothes for ourselves and chill
dren. Household things. And
here's the rub. My wife thinks
that unless the coat or pair Of
shoes has a fancy price way
above our means (Since we still
owe some bills) that it is sim
ply not good enough for u.s."
Look At
Mrs. Jones
"Look at Mrs. Jones, the bet
ter half says, with fire in her
eyes. She's treated like a queen.
Nothing is too good for her. Do
you think that she would be sat
isfied with a shabby coat for
only $25?"
And so the young husband
raves over the eternal problem
of keeping up with the Joneses."
He wonders if this is a tempo
rary affliction upon his wife,
whom he thinks measures his
love by the amount he spends
upon her. He believes they
were lot closer together dur
ing the depression's darkest
days. He's tried to talk with
her, but cannot make her under
stand his viewpoint.
This man has his hands full
at present, but he shouldn't
worry too much. The wife, who
had to scrimp and save during
the lean days, is off on spend
ing spree that is as delightfully."-
intoxicating as C h m p a g n e.
After being on a breadand-but-
ter diet for a long time, she is
entitled to some French pastry.
I think the proper thing for
the husband to do is to keep up
his demonstration of love for his
wife by bringing her inexpensive
gifts. If their matrimonial ca
noe was not capsized on the
reefs of the depression, surely
their love will weather a brief
spending squall.
And, believe me, I am sure it
will be brief. Novelty wears off
quickly.

We don't want to marry for

V. R.
It's a good idea not to tell
your girls parents that you want
to marry their daughter until
you have a good position. AS a
rule, parents do not welcome a
suitor without good position.
But there's no reason why you
shouldn't call at the home and
meet them, especially as you
and your sweetheart do not ex-
pect to marry for two years.
Leave no stone unturned to land
a permanent and well-paying

Mt. Carmel Church
Former Ministers Will Return
To Deliver Sermons; Other
Special Features

The Mount Carmel Methodist Prot
estant Church, Sunshine, will observe
its 80th anniversary on Sunday, Aug
ust IA, with appropriate services
throughout the day. The anniversary
committee has prepared quite an elab-
crate program and much interest is
being manifested in the occasion. The
present building, erected in 1928
under the pastorate of Rev. George
H. Stocksdale stands at the intersec-
ton Of the Ashton Unity Road with
Route 81, and has taken the place
of the old church which was erected
in 1858 in the grove back from the
Cooksville pike.
This church has had very inter-
esting history and among its former
pastors are some of the leading min
listers of the Maryland Annual Con-
ference of the Methodist Protestant
Church. From its Sunday School, Rev.
John w. Townsend has entered the
ministry of the Methodist Protestant
Church, and he will return to preach
at the evening service of the day.
The Rev. C. E. Dryden of Buckeys-
town, pastor of the church from 1905
1912, will deliver the morning sermon
at II o'clock. The Mt. Carmel Choir
will render special music at this serv-
ice. The families of the church are
planning to bring their basket dinners
and eat together in the basement of
the church.
The afternoon service will be held
at 2:30 and Rev. Stockdale, of Finks-
burg, who was pastor of the church
from 1924-2S, when the present build
ing was erected, will deliver the after
noon sermon. A mems chorus will
render special music at this service.
At the evening service which will be
held at 8 o'clock, Rev. Townsend will
deliver the sermon. A large young
peoples chorus will sing special mu-
sic.
In connection with the observance,
a huge birthday cake will be lighted
with 80 candles. Each candle is to
represent $40 subscription Of gift
toward the indebtedness of the
church. The families of the church
have been canvassed and friends have
subscribed to this cause, and it is ex-
pected that the entire amount will
have been subscribed by the day of
the anniversary.

Saturday Evening Efforts Of Clifford H. Robert
son Lauded At Meeting-John Clagett Proctor
Gives "reminiscences OF The Post

Several of the older inhabitants
were called upon for impromptu re-
marks and all acquitted themselves
admirably. 1t was regretted that Miss
Margaret Fields, daughter of the
founder of THE SENTINEL, was unable
to be present because of illness. Mrs.
Kate Warfeld, was likewise absent.
Those who spoke complimented Mr..
Robertson and others responsible for
the arousing of interest in the county
seat and its background. Mr.. Proctor,
himself a member of the Society of
Oldest Inhabitants of the District Of
Columbia, urged that Rockville adopt
similar association.
Those present were: Mrs. Margaret

Saturday night one of the most un-
usual gatherings of the kind was held
Il the Hungerford Tavern. Twenty
people, at least fifteen of whom be-
long to the older generation, met to
indulge in a chicken dinner and rem
iniscences of bygone days. The occas-
ion was conceived by Attorney Cliff
ford H. Robertson. P. G. Stromberg'
publisher of THE SENTINEL was the
host.
John Clagett Proctor, historian and
feature writer for the Washington
Star, was the speaker of the evening
Townsend Howes, acted as toast
master.
The meeting was the aftermath OF
a series of Questions and answers"
concerning the early history of Rock
Vile. edited by Mr.. Robertson and
,aponsOred by THE SENTINM. The theme
of the gathering was the ''perpetua-
ton of interest in the historical back
ground of Rockville, formerly known
as williamsburg.
Out of this meeting it was proposed
that an annual affair be held and an
association of Oldest inhabitants pro-
mulgated.

AS We See It
BIZ MONTCO

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
saw fit Tuesday to rescind the action
of the Town Council in planting ''no
loafng" signs along the courthouse
wall. The excuse hinged on a sheer
technicality, it is said. The signs en-
croached on county property a few
inches. But that is neither here nor
there. Some drastic measure is neces-
sary to curb the growing tendency of
negroes and white loafers to encamp
in front of the county courthouse and
loll at alley, street entrances and be-
fore business places. 1t is becoming
go much of nuisance that many peo-
plc are vehemently protesting. After
all. we are but bare dozen miles
from the National Capial. And yet
we resemble a community which
might well be met within some OBJ
scure rural district. There is not any
racial antagonism involved. 1t is pure
ly matter of safeguarding property
rights - perhaps the oldest inherent
instinct which ever stirred mankind.

Meet Challenge From
Commissioners

The Rockville Town Council last

to the end of the block just beyond
the chain store.

CASEY FANS AGAIN

Oh, there was joy in Rockville,
When Casey came to bat,
The organization shuddered
To think of this and that.
The score was two to nothing
The fans were all intense.
The Faction thought
That Casey would lift
One DER the fence.
That was mighty lineup
Which took your breath away,
Magruder, Cantrell, Hoskinson
And don't forget Fun Day.
With two men on the bases,
The gloom was gath'ring fast
Jim Pugh was up to bat last time
And got himself a pass.
Now Casey took tighter grsp
And eyed the left-field stand
For Casey was a dauntless chap
5c feared not sea or land.
He spat upon his hands and took
A fresher lease on life
He bargained with the Umpire
The situation rife
Just like that silent moment
Proceeding every storm.
The ball came in like lightning,
Bob Peter was in form;
Behind the bat Clay braced himself,
The throw was low and fair,
But all that Casey ever reached
Was ozone, known as "air".
The children weep in Rockville
Strong men and women moan;
The baseball game was lost
When The Coacher pulled bone.
And there is gloom in Rockville
An end TO din and shout.
The Independents quaver
Cause 'Geney done struck out.

Charlie Jones Says
Prescott Did Not
Originate Measure
Publisher Of The Independent
Claims He Drew Up
Judgeship Bill

Charles c. C. Jones, publisher of
The Independent and Rockville at
torney, this week in public state
ment claims that he drew up the bill
providing an additional judge for the
Sixth judicial Circuit. Mr.. Jones's
statement follows:
Reports have recently been
spread throughout the County bx
persons seeking various County
Offices, among them that of Judge
of the Circuit Court of Montgomery
County, which intimated that State
Senator Stedman Prescott initiated
the introduction of the bill calling
for a constitutional amendment to be
submitted to the voters of the State
so they may decide whether or not
the sixth judicial district of Mary
land should have a fourth Judge,
and l later read in the EvenimO Stcr
of August 3rd where Joseph A.
Cantrel, former Fusion member Of
the House of Delegates and now .
candidate for Congress, says that
Senator Prescott studied this bill
several days before it was introduced
and that he requested a member Of
Montgomery County Delegation to
ask Frederick County Delegate
to bring up the bill. Having been
supporter of Mr.. Cantrel when he
was q candidate for the House of
Delegates in 1884 and one who did
not support Mr.. Prescott when he
ran for the Senate, I feel that the
people Of this county should know
the truth about the Introduction and
passage Of this bill, and put an end
to the false political statement re-
garding its passage. I am meme
Der Of the Montgomery County Bar
and at the time the late Judge Rob
ert B. Peter resigned from the bench
l had quite long talk with him at
which time he told me that the Volume
of work in this Court had 50 in
creased that it was too much for
one Judge, so during the Legislature
of 1885 personally prepared and
had introduced the bill providing
for Constitutional amendnent 10
be voted on by the members Of the
State in the General Election in
1885 which amendment was adopted
by an overwhelming majority.
Senator Prescott never asked me
or anyone else that ! know to pre-
pare this bill or have the same in
troduced, and as I had the bill In
my possession until shortly before It
was introduced I am sure that Sem
ator Prescott never saw it. So Mr..

THE CONTROVERSY goes farther
than that. It takes into account the
embarrassment of the women Of the

these loafers, white and colored. Busi-
