THE WORKS ARE
NOW LEADING in
THE TOURNAMENT
Only Two Games Bowled Since
Last Report, Due To The
Xmas Engagements

Due to the many engagements Gre
ated by the Christmas holidays, only
two games in the bowling tournament
at Bunting's Alleys have been rolled.
On Thursday of last week, the Elks
tossed the Rotarians on their horns
and thus kept the winning percentage
of the latter down to Zero. The score
was, Elks, 1907 pins; Rotarians, 1485.
The losers could extract some COM
fort, however, from the fact that
Chas. Shaffer of their team was high
roller of the contest, he bowling 418
pins.
The next game was on Wednesday
of this week, when these same Elks
lost to the &c and D Works" by a
margin of SO pins. Works, Ills;
Elks, 1922. High roller in this con-
test was Bailey Of the "Works" with
GIL pins to his credit. It might be
we'll that 900 for the three games is
the largest score possible.
The standing at present is as fol-
lows:

of the current year, due to heavy
radio advertising, the company lost
money but the profits of more than
100000 for the last period wiped out
the deficit, enabled payment of the
dividend, and after reserve for taxes,
still permitted the addition of more
than $4,000 to surplus.

Discussion Of NelU
Canal On Wednesday

ready to commit himself on the mat
ter, but he took the attitude of one
who is willing to do all in his power
to aid.
In order to accomplish something in
a concrete way, Ralph A. Ross, presi-
dent of the Pocomoke City Business
Mems Association, and chairman of
Wednesday nights meeting, was au-
thorized by vote of those present, to
name committee whose duty it
might be to prepare data for any sub
sequent conference between those con-
cerned. Chairman Ross appointed the
following as representing the areas
affected: Jack Pruitt, Of Ocean City !;
Mayor J. O. Byrd, of Snow Hill; May
or E. w. Ross, Of Pocomoke City; and
Wallace Quinn, of Crisfield. Further,
this committee was empowered to add
to their body any others who might
be of assistance in the case.
It might be well to state that the
entire atmosphere of this meeting took
on a business temperature alone, and
was not agitated at all by any political
trade winds. Senator Radcliffe, tho
candidate, posed as servant of the
people, and not seeker for their
franchises. Representative Ward fol-
lowed suit in this respect, and it was
impossible to construe either his pres
ence or that Of Senator Radcliffe

18TH CENSUS OF
UNITED STATES
SHORTLY BEGINS
Census To Show The Expansion
OF Country In Population,
Territory, Resources

The sixteenth Decennial Census Of
the United States, consisting of Bust
ness, Manufacturing, Mines and Quar-
ries, Population, Agriculture and
Housing will shortly be under way.
This census will show the expansion
of the country in population, terri
tory and resources as well as addi-
tional light on internal, social and
economic problems. Some facts re-
garding the census:
The Census Bureau is the record
keeper and accountant of the Nations
population, resources and economic
activities.
It is surely service bureau, which
no regulating functions and with no
desire for such functions. This means
that the facts gathered are unbiased
and uncolored by fear on the part OF
respondents or by any regulatory OBJ
iectives of Census Bureau officials.
All reports submitted to the Census
Bureau are confidential and are seen
only by sworn census employees.
Therefore, they cannot be used for
purposes of taxation, regulation or
investigation.
Census officials respect the conven-
fence and interests of those who give
the data, as we'll as the needs of those
who use the facts collected. The Blu
reau insist upon gathering at public
expense, only those facts for which
there is ample justification and real
need.
Constructive criticism and sugges-
ton are always welcome. The Blu
reau constantly consult representa-
tive individuals and group to deter
mine their needs and secure their CO.
operation in best filling those needs.
Census Bureau services must keep
in step with the changing needs and
conditions, and there is joint respon-
sibility between the Census Bureau
and the users of statistical data for
improving the Census Bureau services.
In the first Maryland district, eff
forts of the local census officials are
at present conferred on the business
census. This census will begin
promptly on January End, 1910. The
enumerators are now being instructed
in their work. The census Bureau, af
ter consulting with outstanding men
in every branch of industry, Cham
bers of Commerce and other organiza-
tions, has revised the business sched-
ules to include: cost value Of inven-
tories at both the beginning and end
of the year;
Consumer debt (accounts receiv-
able) outstanding at the beginning
and end of the year, both installment
and open accounts.
Information on the extent of self
employment, and Withdrawals of prop
rietor-owners.
Facts on the length of ownership
by present owners and data of original
establishment of the business, and a
detailed breakdown Of sales by COM
modities.
Entirely new this year is sched-
ule on sales finance companies, to com
plete the picture on consumer debt.
The Business census includes con-
tractors and builders engaged in the
business of construction. In fact,
every individual, firm or corporation,

ATTY. GENERAL
GIVES OUT RULING
Official Opinion Filed on
Garnishment of Wages
of State Employees

Attorney General Francis A. Pal
litti Thursday issued an opinion
setting forth the conditions under
which salaries and wages of state
employees may be garnished, &C
cording to the, provisions of an act
Of the 1889 Legislature which made
attachment of the pay Of such en-
ployees possible for the first time.
Writing the opinion at the request
of Clinton G. Nichols, executive de-
putty highway commissioner, the At
torney General said:
1T Is essential that certain steps
be taken, and acts done, before
garnishment may be had. The fol-
lowing are essential requirements
under the statute:
II. An action must be brought
and returned to court.
g. Service Of writ must be made
upon the defendant only.
IS. There must be a Judgment
rendered in the case,
a. An order must be passed by
court as to payments on claim.
IS. Noncompliance with said or
der by the defendant.
"6. Order for execution and issu-
arce thereof.
~. Presentation of execution to
state instrumentality.
1T, therefore, follows that no
wages can be garnished unless the
foregoing exist in each case, and
that no punishment of wages can
be had unless there is a non-com-
pliance with the order Of the court
issued upon the rendition of the
original judgment. As long as the
employee complies with such order,
no execution can be issued and his
wages attached.
1T Is, therefore, my opinion tina.
wages can be garnished only after
judgment, and upon execution is
sued upon noncompliance with
the order made by the court in the
first instance, and until such execu-
ton is presented to the state instru-
mentality, the employee is entitled
to full wages or salary, regardless
of other notice or claim"

French Soldiers In
Festive War Spirit
Wave Greetings to Enemy as They Dance, Play Across
the Rhine Correspondent Sees Preparedness

BY FREDERICK C. OECHSNER
UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent)
With the German Army at the
Western Front, Sept. 40 - U.P0 -
We saw French soldiers yesterday,
200 yards across the Rhine, wash
ing clothes, casting out fishing nets.
hauling water and engaged in other
peaceful pursuits.
We saw sign on French bunker
reading, In German, post No Bills"
and caricature OF Adolf Hitler.
We didn't hear a shot all day.
German officers, conducting us
ON four-day tour of the west wall,
ending today, said there had been
an average of one or two shots a
week on that sector, but that they
usually were not answered.
They said the French soldiers had
a dance in front of their turret the
other day, laughing and singing
within easy rifle shot of the German
front line. Sometimes the French
wave, our guides said, and the Ger
mans wave back, mockingly, with
the clenched fist, Communist salute.
This is supposed to be war.
Even the guns were so well hid
den, the forts so well blended into
the natural scenery, the effect was
almost pastoral.
There was the French tri-colos
waving from an armored turret
across the river and the Nazi Swas-
tika flying from one of the wesi
wall fangs. That was about ths
extent of hostilities.
At other points along the front
there was less cordially between
enemies" but we had heard nc
| fighting since leaving Zweibruecker
Wednesday, and that had been de-
sultory.
Yet on all sides stood implements
for the most terrible warfare the
world ever has known. Well inside
the German frontier, on the upper
Rhine, we saw giant cannon, also
units of the west wall, capable Of
firing miles into French territory
We were told that these great guns
could only be fired on special Co.
ders from Berlin.
There was other heavy artillery
mounted in armored turrets faxed
to look like timbered country homes
Other units were mounted In bat
teries in forests and open fields
usually controlled by central OBJ
servation posts.
The tour has been impressive ant
it does not take expert military
knowledge to see that any assault
on the west wall would take terri.
