One of the cases in which the Vir-
ginia Supreme Court of Appeals hand
ed down an opinion last week was that

the Circuit Court of Accomack coun-
ty, they were assisted by Hon. G. Wal

This is the second time in recent
years that the safe at this station has
been carried across the tracks in q
burglary attempt. On the previous
attempt the safe was broken open and
the thieves arrested and sentenced to
prison terms.
Sheriff Lee is holding Howard
Wickess Fl, and William Robinson,
35, both colsred, in connection with
the robbery. The safe weighed APP
l'rcAirlately 700 pounds which leads
to the belief that at least two men
tcrk part in the affair Entrance
was made b. p-ving open three win
dows. Some of the tools were left on
the floor c. the office.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
FRIDAY 18TH JINX DAY
TO FRANKFORT MAN

Irwin j. Daisey, of r. F. D. No. 2,
frankfort, is thoroughly convinced
that there is something to this Fri
day the 18th stuff.
On Friday the 18th, Irwin cashed a
check at the Baltimore Trust Com
pany, took the .twenties he receiv-
ed, wrapped them in a number of one
dollar bills he had, carefully tied them
together and slipping the roll in his
pocket went about his business with
nary thought to its being Jinx Day.
Later in the day he reached for the
roll, and found only void where the
hundred smackers should have been re
posing. He backtracked his trail but
not sign or smell could he find of
the missing wad. In phoning in a
want ad for that weeks News offer
ing a liberal reward for the return of
his money he did not mention wheth-
er or not he gave thought to Friday
the 18th being Hoodoo day, but we
feel sure that on future such days he
will be a confirmed believer in the
myth that surrounds such Fridays.
The only thing that will break his
respondent belied in such mythology
will be the return of his roll and the
finder so doing will not only receive
a liberal reward but will also restore
Mr.. Twins belief in the honesty and
fair-mindedness of his fellow man.

THIEVES RAID RAILROAD
STATION AT CHESTERTOWN

Thieves apparently do not believe
in the published reports that the rail
roads are not making any money, be-
cause they raided the railroad station
at Chestertown Monday night of last
week, took the trouble to carry the
safe across the tracks and failed in
their efforts to open it. Had they
succeeded in their safe cracking eff
IS their reward would have been
very little cash money.
AS far as can be determined the
less rs result OF the ROBBERY was
money, estimated at $500, which was
taken from the pay telephone booth

STATE FIREMEN'S HELP
SOUGHT TO ELIMINATE
FIRE HAZARDS

Baltimore, June 19-One of the
most comprehensive movements ever
started in Maryland to reduce, and
eventually eliminate, fire hazards in
buildings used for public purposes,
has been instituted here by Insur-
ance Commissioner John B. Con-
trum. According to his tentative
plans, members of the Maryland
State Firemen's Association will play
q most important part in the move
ment.
At preliminary meeting held In
State Insurance Offices, attended by
State and Volunteer Firemen offic-
ials, local and national representa-
tives of the insurance agencies, and
other interested parties, it was de-
cided to prepare code, embodying
a minimum standard of safety. for
public buildings and buildings used
for public purposes. This will be
done under the supervision Of ]. w.
Just, Director Of Fire Service Ex-
tension, College of Engineering,
University of Maryland, College
Park, working with member of
the staff of Attorney General Walsh.
Firemen To Make Survey
To put the code into effect, there
will be established qualified force
recommended by the Maryland State
Firemens Association in each coun-
ty. to suryey all public buildings.
and all buildings used for public
purposes, including halls, apartment
houses, hotels, etc. A course of in
struction for these prospective in
spectors will be prepared by Mr..
Just, of the Fire Service Extension,
who will also pass upon the quail
fications of prospects after they have
passed the prescribed course Of in
struction.
Strict enforcement of the mini
mum standard as set forth In the
proposed safety code will be de-
manded by the Insurance Commits
sioner. AS an aid to this, a program
of instruction in fire prevention for
both children and adults will be
undertaken jointly by the Maryland
State Firemen's Association and the
Fire Service Extension Of the Uni
versity of Maryland.
