CHESTERTOWN HOSPITAL
ELECTS NEW PRESIDENT

At a special meeting of the board
of directors of the Kent-Queen Anne's
Hospital, held in the offices of Stephen
r. Collins, the newly y-elected president,
J. Thomas Kibler assumed his duties
as head of the organization.
Called chiefly as means of get
together for the new officers and the
board. the meeting took up no specific
questions, passed no motions.
In discussing the three resigna-
tions which had been handed to the
board at a meeting last week the di-
rectors present at the meeting Thurs
day night were of the unanimous opin-
ion that all should be asked to recon-
sider These designations were those
of Miss Wright, superintendent; r.
Hynson Rogers will be asked 20 con-
and r. o. Wright. All present agreed
that these persons should be asked to
reconsider their action.
Since this special meeting, accord
ing to the charter and bylaws, could
not take up the matter of the resig-
nations, it is expected that at the next
regular meeting, Mr.. Wright and R.
Hynon Rogers will be asked to con-
tinue as members of the board of the
hospital.
Contrary to rumors which have in
dicated that the entire staff had re-
signed, the resignation of these three
are all that have been officially pres
ented to the president Of the board
of directors.

FROM CUR
EXCHANGES
EASTON IS PROMISED
BETTER TRAIN SERVICE

About a year ago Mayor Wrghtson
along with several other prominent
citizens of the county advocated bet
ter railroad service between Easton
and Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania
Railroad officials were invited to Eas-
ton to discuss an improved service.
They were pessimistic from the start
believing it would not pay.
However, they were willing to give
it a trial, and for everal months 1t
went along with nothing to speak of.
Finally the company threatened to
take the service off, which was a gaso-
line car. But the Mayor persisted IN
in having the service retained upon
the belief that business would even
tually increase until it became pay
ing proposition.
Last week it was learned from re-
liable source that the car is doing
a good business, and that the company
anticipates installing much larger
and faster car in the near future.

SNAKE CAUSES PANIC
IN SEWING FACTORY

A six foot black snake caused near
panic in the factory of the Seaford Gar
ment Company last Friday among
Is women and girls when the reptile
wrapped itself about the leg of Cath
crime O'Day.
Feeling something coiling Itself abb
out her leg, she gave vigorous kick
and let out a scream. Her compan-
ions, in terror rushed from their mach
ines and in few minutes the plant
was in a bedlam.
Several of the other women became
hysterical when they saw the reptile
wiggling about the floor.
Men employs of the plant, hearing
the commition ran to the scene and fl
nally killed the snake. How the snake
came to be in the factory is as yet
a mystery.

Mr.. Bruno opened his campaign in

Mr.. Bruno heads the legal commit
tee of the major lawyers organization.
He was one of the founders of the
Junior Bar Association and was it's
president in 1885. Educated at Har-

the Baltimore Association of Com
merce, the American Association for
Social Security, and the National Sc
curity League. He was one of the
of Maryland's social secur-
ity legislation. He is a member of
the Protestant Episcopal Church.
