ing from the hail stones, which re-
sembled diversified moth balls, and to-
mato plants in beds and those recent
ly set out in the field were pelted
down past recovery.
Scattered reports indicated that
strawberry plants in the sections
where the storm was most violent
had come through in fair condition,
although the unripened fruit of many
plants were injured, as well as I'M
picked ripe berries. Top prices re-
ported at Fruitland for the lower
Shores earliest strawberries were
from $2.4O to $3.50 per crate of TWEEN
ty-four quarts.
Small green peaches in orchards
near Salisbury were marked, but in
other sections were not appreciably
bruised.
A barn on the Somerset County
farm of former Judge Robert F.
Duer was burned after being struck
by lightning. Livestock was saved.
His loss was estimated at $4,000.
Homeowners reported that the
storm moved so slowly that hail was
pounding at one side of their homes
almost a minute before it fell on the
other side.
AS the storm ended in Salisbury
survey of it's extent was begun. AS
it was being followed, by phone, in
Worcester, the callers "ran out of
storm"
In Wicomico County, Standpoint was
reported to have suffered the greatest
crop damage and the fall of hail in
the city of Salisbury was heavier
than in some rural sections.
Florists in the area reported hun
dreds of panes smashed in their green
houses. Flower fields were beaten
down.

TO BE HELD IN
SALISBURY
A History Of The Progress Of
Modes Of Transportation
To Be Shown

A history of the progress of modes
of transportation will be shown in the
Safety Jubilee parade at Salisbury
on June 1, Miss Helen Wootten, chair
man of Governor O'Conor's Traffic
Safety Committee for Wicomico Coun
ty announced today.
State Comptroller Willard Tawes,
of Crisfield, was announced as the
principal speaker at the Fair Ground.
The Manhattan Players, who will
open summer season at the Fair
Ground, will present a short play at
the grounds.
One section of the parade will be
devoted to transportation methods
ranging from the hiker, pack animals
and horse-drawn vehicles, through
1890 bicycles and cars of the 1904-11
period to present day vehicles.
A car from each of the 65 schools
where safety In Education" is
taught on the Delmarva Peninsula is
to be in this section of the parade.
Cars from twenty-five to thirty-five
years old have already been obtained
to show the start of the automobile
industry.
Approximately 1900 students from
Wicomico, Somerset, Dorchester and
Worcester counties in Maryland and
Sussex in Delaware are expected to
participate in the parade from the
Wicomico High School to the Fair
Grounds.
safety Through Education was
first taught in Wicomico High and
spread rapidly to schools in adjoining
counties.
Miss Wootten, Wicomico High
School teacher who collaborated with
Sergeant Charles E. Minnick in estab-
fishing and conducting the course, was
later appointed to the county safety
committee and elected as it's chair
man.
She said that each of the schools
has been asked to send cars, driven
by the safety Through Education"
graduates, to participate in the pa
rade and suggested that the students
make signs for the cars so that their
schools could be identified.
Some of the students will be given
an opportunity to demonstrate their
skill on the Fair Grounds driving
course.

and under headlines that spoke Of
her as the theatrical sensation Of

The question was brought TO our
attention BY the following letter:
Dear Miss Grey: Several days
ago I was discussing the subject
Of honesty between men and wo-
men with group Of my friends.
Some Of the girls said they felt
that there should be nothing but
absolute truthfulness between the
two but said there are some lies
that really have to be told now
and then for the sake Of annuity.
Was l very wrong? MARY B.
Dear Mary B.: OF course hon.
esty is the best policy. that Is.
most always, but as you intimate
Il is not always the most diplo-
matte course to follow. For in
stance, II your boy friend IL wear
ing a perfectly atrocious suit and
he asks you II you like 1t. you had
better say yes" even though II
may sound little weak. In the
same way, your boy friend should
never say that your dress or hat. Is
unbecoming.
Men must never admit they hate
the neckties their wives or girl
friends have picked out for them.
II just isn't safe! They must pre-
tend to like their meals, IL they
want to steer clear Of trouble. And
1t doesn't hurt them to flatter
their wives or girl friends a little.
either. It Is well for young men
10 uphold the illusion that the girls
they are taking out have at least
three or four other men chasing
them.
On the other hand. a little fib-
bling won't hurt you girls any
either. For instance. women must
never admit they don't like an
other of their sex who Is prettier
or more smartly dressed than they.
Men will think them just plain
jealous.
A girl should always pretend
that her boy friend Is at least good
looking, IL not handsome. and that
he is very wise and important. Re-
spect his opinions on sports, world
affairs and women and never pre-
tend to know more about some
technical subject in which he Is
interested.
Yes, we must all tell little lies
sometimes, but let's not call them
lies. let's Just say we are being
diplomatic.
But when 1t comes to important

Must men and women always be stricky honest with

Todays question is interesting one and we believe
that little fibbing may be done and then with no
serious result to the conscience Ii is unwise for instance

is not recommended for TO tell his wife that she is
