SMITHS ISLAND
IS INVADED BY
so ROTARIANS
Crisfield, Princess Anne, And
PocomOke Join In Trip To
Famous Island
GETS ITS NAME FROM
CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH

About so Rotarians from the Girls
field, Princess Anne, and Pocomoke
City Clubs, made pilgrimage OF
good will to Smiths Island on We'd
nesday evening last, and partook of a
sumptuous meal prepared by Church
people on the Island.
The visitors embarked on privately
owned Crisfield yachts, about 5 p. M.
They we're met by the Smiths people
who took them on a tour of the ia
nous island. Shortly afterwards all
assembled in the Community hall for
the repast. Mr.. Wellington Tawes,
was speaker of the evening and
speeches were made by several of the
visiting Rotarians. Mr.. John Brad
shaw, of Crisfield, was master of cere-
monies. All report a most enjoyable
trip.
Smiths Island is about 13 miles
long and II miles wide, mostly marsh
and the people are all watermen.
There are three churches, and the peo-
pie are thorough church goers. They
are also pure Americans-no repres-
entative of other races or nations be-
ing on the island. The people are
honest and God-fearing. Houses are
built with locks on the doors, but the
keys are thrown away. Boats and
accessories are left unguarded, and no
one has ever been imprisoned for
theft. They are healthy and do not
know what sanitariums mean.
The Island is great crab-produc-
ing point. In June of this year, 872,-
900 soft crabs were shipped and thous-
ands of barrels of hard crabs. Of
the 100000 crabs in the u. S. Girls
fieled and Smiths produced about 91s
millions, Smiths furnished about 1-S
of the country's product. It is a
unique example of living and it will
amply repay visit.

AUCTION
PHILOSOPHY
BY ID. l.. ZINN

Folks, that's a great story about
the Mexican on the flying Athoi
tree on the Tamarack ranch, but
the truth is the Mexican was sleep
ing under an Athol tree last Friday
night on the banks of the lamar
ack canal, along came a young cy-
clone, pulled the Athol tree out by
the roots and upset the Mexican
into the canal. If you doubt this
story, drive just a mile north of
Tamarack ranch heaquarters on
the west bank of the canal, yoN
can see the house and trees torn
up by the cyclone. OF course the
Mexican has sWum out of the canal
and is working on the ranch. His
name is Murales. That's my story,
folks.
You folks out on the coast and
in the mountains are missing a
great week at home. Weather fine
for July. Business better than usual,
but we will try and have change
so we can give you warm reception

Love Blamed for
n. Y.Death Dive

Continued from Page One)
peddlers were selling ice cream
and cheap binoculars. A raucous
voice here and there offered odds
that he wouldn't jump.
The technicians at last devised
a scheme. On the sidewalk below
they stretched out a cargo net
borrowed from a steamship and
attached its side to ropes that had
been surreptitiously lowered from
the floor below Wards ledge. They
worked slowly afraid that Ward
would see and be impelled to
jump.
At the 10Th floor one side of
the net was made fast to the side
of the building. To the other side
were attached ropes lowered from
the 18th floor, one floor above
Ward The plan was to pull up the
net and trap Ward between it and
the building. A fireman and two
policemen had been lowered in
bosun's chairs from the 10Th floor,
ready to grasp the net when it
was pulled within reach. Two sec
onds more and the life of the
psychopath who was determined to
kill himself would have been saved
for a time. Ward glanced down
saw the net.
I've made up my mind" he
said.
Then he dived.

Seymour, now 70 and bent with
age and illness, flatly denied the
government charge. He said when
he came to the United States ID
years ago, he believed he entered
the country on a limitless pass
port.
