Katharine Cornell Hits
Accent on Youth Idea
" the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Katharine
Cornell, the first lady of the theater
to many of its devotees, SCOTS at the
frequently expounded idea that ma
turity is on the downgrade in a
world which often places extreme
youth in the saddle.
I'VE hear that youth is preferred"
she said, because of a supposed
greater buoyancy and vitality. We
hear that the spirit goes into de-
cline with the passing of the years.
1t is my opinion that the spirit does
not go into decline. There simply
wasn't enough spirit there to start
with. The lack of spirit may be-
come more obvious as one grows
older, but it doesn't wither merely
because of age"
From the mere fact that a per-
son is in the youth stage of life"
reasoned the star of mo Time for
Comedy" sit does not follow that
the person is keener and more radi-
ant and vital than his elders"

State License Board
Holds Hearings
North East Applicant Refused
And Given Warning

Appeals from the decision of the
Cecil County License Board in re-
gard to applications made by Sam
uel Sadowsky, of North East, and
Mrs. Mabel Jenness, of Rising Sun,
were heard at the Court House on
Wednesday, June 14th. Large dele
cations were present protesting both
licenses, and several were also there
supporting Mrs. Jenness.
Mr.. Sadowsky,s case was compli-
Gated because of his having sold to
minors on Rally Day, and at least
one boy having too much had led to
an investigation. Three boys, all
school children and minors, were
questioned and told Uf two pur-
chases of whiskey and wine; one
made in Rising Sun for one of the
boys by an adult, and the other
made in North East, at Sadowsky's,
by one of the boys, ON Rally Day.
These three boys gave very vivid
picture of what can and apparently
does go on right in our midst, when
liquor Of various kinds is made
available SO abunlantly. It also
makes one wonder how safe the
children are from just such ttempta-
tions when they spend their noon
hours, and as on Rally Day, much
of their time around stores where
beer and other forms of liquors are
sold along with candy and ice cream
cones.
The Womens Christian Temper
ance Unions of both North East and
Rising Sun were well represented
at the hearings. The County Presi-
dent, Miss Bertha Balderston, added
her protest to the granting of the
license to Mrs. Jenness in support
of the Local Board, who had refus-
ed it on the grounds that it was
not needed. There are five other
licensed houses within mile and a
quarter along Route 1, in the Sixth
District, and this one which has
been raided more than most of the
others is not only not necessary
but public nuisance.
The State License Bureau upheld
the action of the County Board in
refusing Sadowsky's license and
warned him that any further viola
ton of the law regarding sale to
minors would deprive him of the
license he now holds. The decision
in regard to Mrs. Jenness license was
withheld for further conference with
the Local Board, which was not
present at the hearing.

Fell Under Cultivator

While operating sulky cultivator
on his farm in Elk Neck, last week,
Charles w. Holt, ST., met with a
serious accident. At the dinner hour
Mr. Holt unhitched the horses from
the machine, and mounted one of
the animals to ride in from the field.
He failed to- loosen one of traces,
and when the cultivator moved for
ward the animals became frightened
and reared up, Mr.. Holt fell from
the horses back and landed in front
of the cultiNator blades. He was
rolled for a distance ahead of the
machine and badly cut ON the legs
and body. He kept rolling in front
of the machine until he reached a
furrow and dropped into it as the
cultivator passed over him.
His nephew, Charles Holt, who
was also in the field and others
nearby, hurried to his assistance and
helped him to his home, where he
was treated for numerous cuts and
bruises.
