WRANGELL URGED
 TO CONTRIBUTE
 RED CROSS QUOTA

Word received here from the Pa- eifie Branch 0ffiee. American Red Cross, stated that on tune 2 the Pa eifie Area had completed only IT per cent of its quota of S2.65I000 while other areas had met 30 eereent of their quotas. These percentages are evidently based on the war relief goal fund of S20.000.000 which was decided upon as a minimum figure two weeks after the first call for s10s000.000 was made
 "The only maximum limit is the generosity of the American people, |" wrote Norman II. Davis, National Chairman. We expect this fund will enable us to carry through our war relief operations for the balance of the year. and that there will be no further special appeals before next winter. We should make every effort to complete this campaign within the next thirty days, he added in his letter to all local chapters
 All chapter quotas have been doub- led therefore. and as only one-half of NrangelPs original quota has been met from Chapter funds, it is necessary for everyone interested in the attempt to alleviate the suffer ing of innocent children. women and old people in the devastated areas of Europe to add to this fund as rapidly as possible Even children can help. In Erasno California fhn aun of 10S.0O0 pennies was contributed by the school children alone.
 On June ?. 50 new ambulances were sent by the American Red Cross to the sister society in Eng land. More ambulanees and large quantities of surgical dressing, med iciues. hospital clothing and supplies of all kinds were being furnished the British Red Cross to replace those lost On the same date the Am eriean Red Cross announced the ere ation of a nation wide organization in France to handle American Red Cross relief to civilian refugees and war wounded in that country The American Red Cross thus finds it necessary to extend it's activities daily as the war situation grows steadily worse and it can do so only with the help of it's local chapters.
 Money to he'p tie Wrangell quota may be left at the Bank of Wran- gell. and should be left there promt- tly.

SEES POSSIBILITY FOR
 USING WASTE AT
 SALMON CANNERIEs

That waste material from Alas kas salmon eanneries may soon be of great value in the preparation Of compounds 10 be used in treatment of organic and deficiency diseases is suggested in a thesis recently pre- pared by Louis Arrigoni. a graduate student in the College of Pharmacy lat the University of Washington.
 This thesis is a report of his stud ies into salmon protein as 8 source of valuable acids used by the medi- cal profession.
 In carrying out his work, Arri- goni used canned salmon samples supplied by the Association of Pac- fife Fisheries. His work consisted in analyzing the protein of the can ned salmon for it's amino acids.
 Protein is the portion of fish meats. and some vegetables which the body uses to build muscle tis- sue. Amino acids are the acids pro- dueed by the digestive system from protein, and are the form in which protein is absorbed into the human system to be rebuilt into the pro- teins of our body tissues
 Arrigoni found that salmon pro- tein contained at least six different amino acids in sufficiently great quantities to make salmon a good source of these curative materials He concluded that salmon waste could profitably replace the more expensive present sources of several of these acids.
 His thesis points out that medi- cal use of amino acids is increasing as the knowledge of the uses and values of these compounds is devel- oped
 In addition to indicating a poten- tial profitable use for the hundreds of tons of salmon protein attached to heads and tails of fish now dis carded by the canneries, Arrigonis study adds evidence to support the health and nutritive claims advanc- ed for canned salmon.
 In his study he found canned salmon to contain six of these acids necessary to the human system Many other protein sources, such as vegetables. lack some of these es- sential acids.

IN THIS CRISIS :.

This is a crisis hour in the worlds history. Anguish and despair are fil- ling the hearts of many of the worlds inhabitants Others are faint as they contemplate the things that are coming on the earth. But Men ought always to pray, and not to faint" Luke 1891.
 Pray for the worlds rulers and all those who are in authority. Pray for the President and ev- cry member of his cabinet Pray that God will send gracious revival in our land. If we do not have a revival we may have a revol- ution. Therefore, pray.
 Pray for all men everywhere. Pray for the Lords workers on ev- cry field. The night is fast coming when no man can work. Pray for every missionary along the far flung field-many of thme isolated and without support because of the things that have happened in the terrible war now raging in Europe
 Above all, pray for the coming of the Prince of peace and the estab- lishment of His kingdom upon the earth. "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

LEGION POST, So
HOLDS MEETINGS
REGULARLY NOW
Assemble On First And Third
Fridays In The State Ar
mOry In POcOmOke City

Worcester Post SO, Pocomoke City,
now holds meetings every first and
third Fridays, in the State Armory.
Legionnaires are asked to attend.
The major activity of the Legion is
Rehabilitation. One day of last week,
Legionnaire contacted the Service
Officer for emergency treatment in
a government hospital. The follow
ing day he was receiving the best
surgical attention the government
could provide. 1t is evident this case
could not have been handled any bet
ter. Fortunately large number of
ex-service men appreciate this service
and are consistent members of the
Legion. However, it is regrettable
to say that there are few men right
in this locality who for some unknown
reasan fail to take advantage of join
ing this worthwhile organization.
Why is it? Do they like to be differ
ent? General John j. Pershing, thinks
it's all right. And many other disting-
uished gentlemen think the same.

DETROIT TIGERS
VICTORS IN THE
FIRST CONTEST
Beat The ''Reds", Champions Of
National League BY A Score
Seven To Two
CLUBS GO TO DETROIT
FOR TODAY'S BATTLE

The Detroit "Tigers" won the first
game of the baseball World Series on
Wednesday, by the score of z to 2,
blasting Cincinnati's crack hurler, Der
ringer, from the box in the second in
ming by a fusilade of hits, yielding
four runs, enough to clinch the game.
Greenberg, of Detroit, went to the bat
twice in this inning.
Prior to the contest, the general
sporting public had conceded an edge
to the "Reds" largely because of what
was supposed to be superior strength
in the pitching department with Der
ringer and Walters heading a quartet
of classy hurlers, it was cinch that
these could hold the Detroit sluggers
in leash. But the result showed that
Detroit could hit curves and speed and
their slam-bang exhibition was on a
par with the "fence-busting" tactics of
the famous Yankees. Indeed, the Reds
are reported as saying: "Give us the
Yanksw
However, one swallow does not
make summer; neither does one
game win the series. Walters is
good enough to win his game, and
Derringer may come back strong af-
ter working only two innings. And,
after Schoolboy Rowe has his turn,
the Tigers manager will have to
scratch his head for some good ideas
as to whom he will start next.
The game, after the second inning,
was rather a drab affair; and, after
the fifth, when York tripled for De-
troit and Campbell followed with a
four-bagger, it was dark and dreary
march to the close.
There were no very scintillating
plays made. The homerun, mention
ed above, and the sturdy mound per-
Torrance of Buck Newsom, stood out
most brilliantly.

RABBI ZENTMAN CONDUCTS
SERVICES IN POCOMOKE

Inaugurating their annual period OF
repentance and piety, Jews ushereo

also known as the Day of Remem-
brance and the Day of Memorial.
To arouse the people to a realization
of their shortcomings, to cause them
to attend to their spiritual needs, to
have them remember that they must
make a reckoning of their previous
actions and to act properly during
the coming year, the shofar Grams
horn) is blown at the congregational
services.
In addition to synagogue services,
the holiday is given over to the streng-
thening of friendships and family ties
and is permeated with feeling of
good cheer and spiritual exaltation in
the thought that one stands on the
Threshold of new year, a new OPP
portunity of life.
Ten days after Rosh Hashanah Jews
will observe Yom Kippur day of
Atonement), their most pious day.
The intervening period between
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is
known as the Ten Days of Penitence.
Yom Kippur is marked for twenty
four hours with fasting and prayer.
The services in Pocomoke will be
