tense program.
Despite the increase in jobhold-
ers, the Federal pay roll declined
in June to $l49,076,667, which was
SIPS, 623 below May.
The Civil Service Commission
said the pay roll decline was ex-
planned by the fact that there were
fewer working days in June for
per diem and per hour employees.
This offset the pay roll increases
resulting from the larger number of
employees.
For this reason the local payroll
for June also showed a slight de-
crease despite the jump in personnel
1t amounted to s23,245 SIT, as against
s23 ,298,161 for May. The pay roll
outside the District was Sl25,630 800,
a decrease of s76,144 from the pre-
vious month.

Rayburn Expects No Opposition.
Representative Rayburn said
again today that he does not ex-
pect any strong opposition and that
the Summers resolution should pass
easily.
Representative Boland of Penn
sylvania, the majority whip, con-
Cured. He himself is strongly in
favor of national representation,
and says he has not heard any men,
Der express opposition. He believes
the resolution will be approved
promptly in the House.
Representative Ford Of Califor-
mia, chief assistant whip, has long
been a supporter of District repre-
sentation. He says it is his con-
viction that free men should not be
denied the right of participating in
the elaboration for enactment OF
laws under which they govern them
selves" He emphasized also that
the residents of Washington should
make a high grade electorate and
should be an asset in self-govern-
ment. He sees no reason to antici-
pate an adverse vote in the House
He added that he believes it should
also carry representation in the
Senate.
Assistant Whips Confident.
There are IS regional assistant
whips, whose duty it is to explain
party policy to members and to
round up the necessary votes to
pass party measures. They said
they consider it "unthinkable" that
any legislation based on a party
platform should be- allowed to fail
of passage, especially under spe-
cial rule. In fact, it is the almost
unanimous testimony of these Is
assistant whips that they have No
heard a single member express OPP
position to the Summers resolution"
Only one of the IS said he had mo
comment to make" He was Rep
resentative Green of Florida, whose
region includes Florida, Georgia
and South Carolina.
Representative Stanley of Con-
necticut, whip for the New England
area, declares that he will 60
along with the Summers resolution"
because he believes in it in prin-
ciple and because it would carry out
a party platform pledge" He feels
sure the resolution properly safe
guards Federal interests. He speaks
for five votes in Massachusetts, and
two in Connecticut.
Representative Gavagan of New
York said that while he has been
opposed to District self government
as definitely opposed to the interests
of the Federal Government and the
best interests of residents here, he
has not decided how he will vote
on national representation, but will
wait to hear Representative Sum-
nerS' speech in the House.
Cooley Undecided.
Representative Sutphin of New
Jersey, whose region also includes
Pennsylvania, said he has repeatedly
declared his support of national
representation, and added that he
has heard of no viewpoint to the
contrary from other members in

Christ?
v. Devotion wv. 1852.
1t has been said that Christ is
either Lord of all or He is not Lord
at ALL Even the demands which
love may present on behalf of our
aged father must not be permitted
to stand between the Lord and His
disciple.
Christianity is lconsiderate and
courteous, and our Lord is not here
suggesting any neglect of the duties
or amenities of life. The point is
rather that the Lord must have FIST
place whatever else may cali for
second thought.
The blight on the life and service
of most Christians IS that almost
anything and everything else is al
lowed to take first place and the Lord
must be satisfied with second or
third place. Sometimes one won
ders if He is given any real place
at all IN some lives.
Nc one who puts his hand to the
plough in Gods Kingdom and then
wants to defer following through un-
til more convenient season, or who
wants to go back to bid farewell"
to someone who for the moment is
more important than the Lord, is fit
for His service. The way of joy and
usefulness is the way of full and
unconditional yielding to Him.

The COMMITTEE
NAMES "CHICKS"
AS A MONIKER
POcOmOke Base Ball Team Will
Assume The Name Of Its
Mother Club-Reading
GOOD WEATHER is
REPORTED AT EDENTON

The committee appointed to select
nick name for the Pocomoke City
Eastern Shore League base ball team,
met on Friday of last week; and, af-
ter review of a host of suggestions
sent in, decided upon the name
"Chicks'', as the moniker for the local
ball tossers.
In this selection, the committee was
influenced largely by the name by
which the. Reading team is known.
This club has adopted "Chicks" as its
title; and, as Pocomoke is the farm"
of this higher class organization, it
was thought best to select the same
name.
This plan is followed by many 9TH
er clubs. Dover is known as the
"Orioles", because working with the
Baltimore team. And as one looks
over the list, the Shore League clubs
are called Athletics, Red, Yanks, as
the case may be, depending upon
what major club has working agree
ment with the Class d. group.
The committee looked very favor
ably upon quite large number of
other names; such as, Nighthawks,
Tomahawks, Tuckahoes, Maps, Swans,
etc. The last named was rather in
genious. The "S" stands for Somer-
set; "W" for Worcester; "a" for
Accomack; and IN" for North
ampton-these being the counties
practically covering the local ball
teams territory.
The boys are busy down at Eden
ton, N. c., getting into condition for
the opener in May. The exhibition
game btween Reading of the Inter-
state League, and Syracuse of the In
ternational League, is being looked
forward to with a great deal of inter-
est.
A Salisbury resident, in converse
ton with the writer, said last week,
that the fans in that city were going
to turn out in force to root for Dick
Porter's team-Syracuse. And as
Reading is the Mother" of the local
"Chicks", it will be a question OF
which crowd can root the louder.
With good weather, the local park
should be packed with fans, and it
will undoubtedly be.

Ga VOTES CAST
ATTHEELECTION
TUESDAY LAST
Lack Of Opposition Caused A
Very Light Vote At The
Municipal Election
MAYOR E. w. ROSS
LEADS TICKET WITH 60

People who passed by the doors of
the old fire engine house last Tues
day may have been reminded that in
side were three judges sitting for the
purpose of holding Municipal election
to choose Mayor and two City Coun-
cilmen.
The number who thought of it in
that way-or by some other-was ex-
actly "a; no more, no fewer. Of this
vote, Mayor Ross and L. j. Hancock,
received 60 and 55, respectively, to
succeed themselves; and Grady E.
Powell, the new candidate, polled So.
The rest of the registered voters eth
er forgot all about it, or did not pass
by the doors of the old fire engine
house, or remembered it and then
proceeded to forget it.
Across the street from the polling
place, there are five brick store
houses. On the door of one of them
was hung the sign: "Closed on Elec-
ton Day, April 2". This precaution
is to prevent some people, after hot
political arguments on such days,
from securing certain ingredients to
make the human system little hot
ter. But this was an unnecessary
move last Tuesday. All was quiet
around the polls and for miles out in
the country, so far as has been re-
ported.
The reelected Mayor and City Coun
Gilman have given the Corporation a
good administration, and this should
be continued with Grady Powell to
help out, so everything looks very en-
couraging.

TRIPLE !. A" Is
OPPOSED TO SUCH
A PROPOSITION
To Require All Motorists To
Undergo REORGANIZATION
At Cost Of One Dollar

The recommendation of Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles, w. Lee FL
gin, that the next Legislature pass
law requiring all operators of motor
vehicles to subject themselves to re-
examination and obtaining new Ii
censes at the cost of $1.00 each was
severely attacked by Mr.. R. D. Moore,
Resident Manager of the Salisbury
Branch of the Automobile Club of
Maryland.
"To subject 100000 motorists to
the inconvenience and expense requir-
ed by such measure is not justified
said Mr.. Moore, "and in my opinion
will be met by immediate opposition
from motorists of this County"
"a similar requirement was intro
e1uced at the last Legislature as part
bf the revenue raising bill. It was
Immediately attacked and fought by
the Legislative Committee of the Au-
tomobile Club of Maryland, and never
to my knowledge has the combined
opposition of the motorists of this
state been so instantaneously aroused
as against such measure"
Mr.. Moore pointed out that auto
msbile accident statistics in Maryland
and elsewhere tend to prove that
physically defective persons are not
cau,ing the automobile accident toll
today, but that the young man in the
prime of life and physical condition
is mainly responsible for these deaths
and INJURIES.
