DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
Is there any way to keep the
chenille dots in my marquisette cur
tains fluffy looking after the curtains
are laundered? They seem to iron
fiat and never look as fresh as when
they were new.
MRS. D. G. H.
Answer
If you place them on curtain
stretchers and brush the dots with a
stiff whisk broom they will dry as
fluffy as before. Do this gently until
you find out how easy it is to pull the
threads out. Do the brushing while
the curtains are still damp.

I have read the volume with much
interest, and although I do not have
to worry about allergies in my
household-at least there seem to be
no more than one observes in pack
of ravening wolves-I can realize
how extremely valuable it would be
to a woman confronted with such a
problem. The first part of the book
is devoted to a discussion of allergy
and what it is; the most common
causes and symptoms. and the pit
falls awaiting one who is trying to
cope with non-allergic diet. The
sections on menus, compiled by May

These include recipes for the vari-
GUS dishes mentioned, and are pre-
sented according to the various
causes of trouble-such as menus
and recipes for those suffering from
wheat allergy, from milk allergy
from egg and wheat allergy, etc
There are many labor saving short
cuts suggested, and all in all can
heartily recommend the volume as a
fine handbook for "the harrassed

CHECK ROUTE BEFORE
STARTING VACATION

The motorist who is accustomed to
pick up map and select therefrom
routes for his annual vacation may be
in for trouble this year, unless ne
"checks before he starts" the Key
stone Automobile Club warns.
Thousands of road projects are un-
der way in the United States, accord
ing to Matthew P. Hanley, Manager
of the Eastern Shore Division of the
Club, and in many cases long and ted
ious detours may be avoided by proper
routing. "The red lines of arterial
highways look very pretty on the
map" he added, "but they may prove
delusion and snare to the motor
list who did not have the forethought
to inquire into the actual road con-
ditions before starting on his trip.
Unpleasant or even dangerous ex-
periences can be avoided if motorists
take the precaution to check the
routes they propose to use.
every frequently the delays incident
to tedious driving in construction
areas warrant the use of alternate
routes wherever available. For this
reason, we strongly urge drivers to
check on construction and detour in
formation. Motorists who rely on
maps alone may find their trips beset
by inconvenience, if not actual hard
ship, but when maps are used in con-
junction with adequate road data,
there is no reason why difficulties
should be encountered.

ROGER W. LANDLORD
COUNTY TREASURER

Roger W. Lanford is one of POGO
moke's most successful business men.
For a number of years he was asso-
ciated with Ellwood E. Matthews in
the hardware business, trading under
the name of Matthews and Landlord,
later purchasing the business and con-
Quoting it under the name of Lank-
ford's Hardware Store.
Recently Mr.. Landlord purchased
the site of the old Vessels Garage
which building was RACED and in its
place was erected a handsome ESQ
Servicenter which will formally open
to the public on Saturday.
For number of years Mr.. Lark
ford has served the public well and
faithfully as County Treasurer and
has ben reelected to that office for
several terms.

JAS. M. CROCKETT
NOW SERVING AS
I CIRCUIT JUDGE
Elected Associate Judge Of First
Judicial Circuit In No
vember, 1884

In November 1884, James M. Crock
EFT was elected Associate Judge of the
First Judicial Circuit. An aspirant
for judicial honors he received the
unsolicited endorsement of approx
mately 800 of the members of the
bar in the four lower Shore counties.
The District was fortunate in Sc
curing such a representative for the
Bench, and the choice was justified as
an industrious, honest administration
has followed his elevation.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the people but that this distinguished
lawyer and man has performed the
duties of the Judgeship with impair
TALLY, courage and dignity and to the
very great credit and distinction of
himself and those who assisted in con-
ferring the honor upon him.

REGISTER OF WILLS,
MIR. FRANK E. HUDSON

Mr.. Frank Hudson is, at present in
the office of Register of Wills for
Worcester County, having been elect
ed without OPPOSITION in the latest
general election. From all accounts,
he is fitting we'll into the position. He
has associated with him, for clerical
work, Miss Lolita Smith, of POGO
moke; and Mr.. Hudson's cordially
combined with Miss Smiths long ex-
perience in Office work, should be a
guaranty of unqualified success in the
performance of the duties connected
with the position.
Before assuming this public respon-
sibility, Mr.. Hudson was in the real
estate business, and his lifelong con-
nection with an agricultural commun-
ity, made him good judge of values,
and a really successful salesman.
Mr.. Hudson has always been a
Democrat, and his declaration for his
present holding is not the first time
he had announced himself. This time,
he seems to have rather awed all op-
position into silence, and he walked
in without any previous heart aches,
uncertain anticipations, or severe
headaches.
The public will always find the
new Register of Wills accommodating,
and there is no reason to believe that,
with continued acquaintance with the
work, any predecessor will surpass
him in efficiency.

George Washington took the oath
of office as the first President 100
years ago, and after the preliminarles
were over on Wall Street, New York,
the President and the first Congress
made the best of conditions in the hick
town, that had no street cars, buses,
autos or other modern conveyances
and walked up Broadway to st. Paul's
Church and prayed to the Great Al
mighty that everything would come
out all right with their experiment.
After giving the burg fair trial the
whole Administration packed its lug
gage and tried Philadelphia for a.
while, before making permanent head
quarters in Washington.
The original Constitutional expert

furnished supplementary experiments

There is no office more important
to the people of Worcester County
than the office of County Commits

a man of good judgment to hold the

E. W. ROSS IS
SERVING SECOND
TERM OF OFFICE
Can Point To Many Civic I'm
prOvements In The Years
Of His Administration

Mayor E. w. Ross is serving the
second term of his office; and, during
his administration, Pocomoke has
made more than one stride in the di-
rection of civic improvement.
It is true that his accomplishments
have not materialized without some
cost to the taxpayers of the corpora
ton, but when was that ever done
anywhere? 1t requires expenditures
to bring about improvements; and,
while prior to securing these, there
may be voiced many objections, still,
once acquired, all concerned generally
reach the conclusions that they were
worth while.
Mayor Ross can point with pride
to many additions to Pocomoke's on
ward march. He can call attention to
the beautiful Municipal Building; the
Fire Engine House; to many newly
built streets; to the Park on the Riv.
erside; to contemplated changes in
the old engine house; and a continued
endeavor to take advantage Of every
opportunity to make a better and more
beautiful Pocomoke City.
Mr.. Ross is native son, is still
a young man, and the city is fortu
nate in having Chief of such advanc'
ed ideas and so ready to adopt meth
DDS of progress.

MIR. ELWOOD MATTHEWS
LOCAL POSTMASTER

Mr.. Ellwood Matthews is the pres
ent postmaster at Pocomoke City, and
has the honor of being the first oc-
cupant of the new building, erected
in 1888.
Mr.. Matthews, before being ap-
pointed to the office was one of the
local merchants of this city, and con-
Quoted a hardware business in part
nership with Mr.. Roger w. Landlord
who is now operating at the old stand,
corner Market Street and Clarke Ave
nue..
Although never very pronounced,
outspoken, politician, Mr.. Matthews
was an easy winner over oposltlon'
and is making a very acceptable OF
ficial. His career as business man
brought him in contact with many
people, and this association developed
that quality of courteous accommoda-
ton which has stood him in good stead
in his new position.
Altho' a Democrat, he has never
allowed party prejudice to interfere
with general affability toward any
political preference, in the discharge
of his office. He is making good at
his job.
The postmaster is Presbyterian,
an elder in his church, and faithful
attendant to all his duties.

TIPS ON BEATING EGG WHITES

For more and fluffier beaten egg white. whip at room temperature and add a bit of salt before beat ing. A finer texture is obtained with a rotary beater, and it is quicker and easier on the cook, but beating with a whip gives a little more volume. Be careful when separating the whites from the yolks. A little egg yolk or bit of fat on the beater will prevent them stiffening.
