perience will be the day that capi-
tai punishment is wiped from the
statute books, leaving me a man
without a job" SO spoke Robert G.
Elliott, executioner Of six states.
He felt, however, that he had not
killed the 387 people who died as
his hand threw the electric switch.
He felt that: "You who read this
and are voters Of these six states,
have done that. You have done it
through laws you have passed,
through due process Of your courts.
Judges and juries, people who rep
resented you, have done 1t. I have
carried out your orders.
Three days after he had finished
his book, Elliott, at the age Of 65,
died Of heart failure. It Is sad
thing that he died before he was
"out of a job" before he could see
in print the book that he had lab
ored over to help to put himself
out of a job. For this book was
written with that in mind-to make
known to the voting public the ul-
innate meaning Of the laws they
enact, carrying the extreme pen
alty-to show the people who real
ly issued the orders for the deaths
of 387 human beings exactly what
those orders meant, not only to the
condemned individuals but to all
those who were intimately or re-
motely associated with these
deaths.
This book is more than a record
of capital punishment by the one
, man in the world who knows more
about it than any other. It is the
richly human story of a life which
only at times entered into strange
ways. His whole story Is here:
his childhood, his struggle for an
education, his first jobs, his mar
riage, his children and his grand
children. It is a simple, honest,
deeply moving story. If this book
should help to accomplish what
the author had in mind (the out
lawing of capital punishmenD
that will surely be due in no small
measure to the great human-in-
terest appeal of the story he has
written.
MOMENT IN PEKING
BY Lin Yutang
The appearance of a novel of
China, written in English but in the
authentic manner Of the Chinese
novelists, is a literary event of the
first order, especially when it
comes from the author of those
famous works, my Country and
My People" and the Importance
of Living"
The scene is moving panorama
of contemporary China, covering
nearly forty years, from the ter
ror Of the Boxer Rebellion in 1900
to the bitter excitement Of the
present Japanese invasion, period
of great social change and adjust
ments in the lives Of a teeming
humanity.
The story is that of two daugh-
ters of Peking upper middle-class
family, the gay, whimsical, soft
voiced Mulan, and the bright eyed
practical, more womanly Mochow.
Around these two chief characters
is depicted the intimate family life
on an old official family. Three
sons and three strikingly contrast
ed daughters-in-law offer a cross
section of the bewildering modern
generation of China. Revealing
with tenderness and humor their

REMARKABLE
WASHES ARE MADE
BY RINSO SOAP

Reporting that they now can turn
out remarkable, snowy-white washes
IN spite of the hard-water problem,
scores of Pocomoke women are en-
thusing over the special sale which
introduced them to the soap that
makes this possible.
Featured in Pocomoke grocery
stores, the sale is known as the RIM
so mo SCRUB" SPECIAL. It fea-
lures at bargain prices-the new,
richer 1910 Rinse, which ticks hard
water and banishes that unsatisfac-
tory hard water wash forever!
Pocomoke shoppers say that the
mo SCRUB" SPECIAL sale brought
them considerable savings on their
soap purchases, and gave them first
hand acquaintance with the soap
which helps them do quicker, easier
wash, with perfect, snowy-white re-
suits. They affirm the facts which
millions of other American house
wives are discovering, that the new
1910 Rinse gives them up to three
times as much suds as old-type bar
and package soaps, makes clothes
many shades whittier than the lazy
soaps of recent years, and eliminates
wcrrisome scrubbing.
The RINSO mo SCRUB" SPEC
IAL will be spotlighted in Pocomoke
stores for several more days so that
all residents may benefit by it.

MARYLAND SENATOR
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

Almost miraculously escaping SER
ious injury, Senator Arthur H. Brice
told of a head-on collision at Still
Pond, in which his brand-new car was
literally demolished by State Road
truck.
The accident occurred last Tuesday
during the snowstorm, at the right
angle turn in Still Pond. Senator
Brice, heading for home, pulled off to
the side of the road and was at a
stand-still when the truck hit him.
The truck, coming around the corner
heading toward Chestertown, skidded
when the brakes were applied and
smashed head-on into Senator Brice's
car. Senator Brice, badly shaken by
the impact, was thrown to the floor
of the vehicle. He was in dazed
and semiconscious condition when he
was dragged out.
Examination by DR.. Frank Hines
disclosed that Senator Brice had suf-
fered no serious injuries.

"VIRGINNY" NOT PLEASING
TO "VIRGINIA" PEOPLE

The Senate and the House have a.
dopted a House joint resolution max
ing the famous composition of the
Negro, James Bland, the States Of
ficial song, the title being corrected
to read, "Carry Me Back To Old Vir-
ginia" and not "Virginny."
The resolution was the outgrowth
of lengthy effort by Delegate Sam
uel D. Rodgers of Petersburg to make
that song, endorsed for official reco-
milton by the Virginia Lions Clubs,
the State song. A bill introduced
by Delegate Rodgers to that end was
killed in committee, but later reported
out without recommendation at his
request.

where she writes (Science and

EDUCATORS ARE
COOPERATING In
HEALTH CAMPAIGN

Leading educators all over the
country are joining the campaign to
promote temperance and health
through the use of beer, statements
issued by the Brewers Institute OF
Maryland have indicated.
One of those to champion the drink
ing of this beverage is Dean Clarence
w. Mendell, highest disciplinary Of
ficer of Yale. Testifying before a
Senate committee, Dean Mendell
frankly expressed the opinion that
light beer is an important factor in
keeping college students out of mis-
chief.
President Ernest M. Hopkins of
Dartmouth College, where beer is sold
on the campus, was another to COM
ment favorably on the use of beer. He
declared that satisfaction was being
expressed by individual groups of
students at the social aspects of be-
ing able to have beer with group din
ners of one kind or another, and that
students have spoken of the changed
aspect, under certain circumstances
by which men have disposition to eat
their dinners leisurely and to sit a
round in conversation since the adj
vent of beer.

"The abundance of peace
and truth"

I'd FACE is not surface condition.
Whether considered in relation
to the individual or to society,
peace is deep-founded, fundamental.
It is not negative; it does not result
from indifference. In fact, peace can
be found only in clear thinking, hum
bly, maintaining an ideal even in the
face of odds; it is not found in mere
ly drifting with the tide of contem-
poraneous beliefs. The characteristic
of peace is cooperation. Thus is ma
tional as well as individual character
developed.
True character is expressive Of
spiritual verities. It furnishes evil
dence that real existence is not, as
unenlightened materialism pretends,
the sport of forces divided between
good and evil. Spiritual truth pro-
claims that the achieving, conquer
ing, sustaining laws of being are
entirely spiritual, that man is spir-
itual, and that real existence is gov
erned by divine law. -.
christianity scientific thinking
proves mans divinely bestowed do
minion. This is the opposite of per-
sonal domination, for domination
comes from that faith in matter
which breeds fear and selfshness.
Dominion, on the other hand, is
found in knowing Gods infnitude.
:. It would not be convincing to
pray that Gods will be "done in
earth, as it is in heaven" unless it
were understood that Gods bounti-
full provision for His idea, man in
His likeness, is humanity available
in terms of health, goodness, joy,
and opportunity. Jesus great heal
ing work, done in accord with the
divine will. clearly proved that the
Christly understanding of spiritual
being can dispel the effects of dis
turbing fears and theories.
Amid worldwide turmoil, or when
pressed by difficulties of more per-
sonal nature, we often find it hard
to behold Gods supremacy and mans
likeness to Him. Then, however, we
can learn that the five physical SEN
ses see nothing accurately. and prove
that the safe way involves a denial
of frightening sense impressions and
a. sure use of hope and faith, based

OLD COLLEGE
OF DENTISTRY IS
100 YEARS OLD

The Baltimore College Of Denta
Surgery, one of Maryland's many glol
ious firsts, occupies an important ant
interesting place in the history of der
tistry. At the end of the 1894
session it will have completed it's one
hundredth year of service to denta
education. The Baltimore College oil
Dental Surgery, founded by Horace
II. Hayden and Chaplin A Harris, rep.
resents the first effort in history tc
offer institutional dental education tc
those anticipating the practice of den
tistry.
DR.. Horace H. Hayden began the
practice of dentistry in Baltimore in
1900. From that time he made a
jealous attempt to lay the foundation
for scientific, serviceable dental pro
fession. In 1881 DR.. Chaplin A. Har-
ris came to Baltimore to study under
Hayden. DR.. Harris was a man OF
unusual ability and possessed special
and promoting, formal dental educa-
ton merited greater attention than
had been given it by medicine or could
be given it by the preceptorial plan of
dental teaching then in vogue. An
Independent college was decided upon.
A charter was applied for and grant
ed by the Maryland Legislature Feb
ruary 1, 1910. The first Faculty
meeting was held February 8, 1910,
at which time DR.. Hayden was elect
ed President and DR.. Harris, Dean.
The Introductory lecture was deliver
ed by DR.. Harris on November 3, 1910
to the five students matriculating in
the first class. Thus was created as
the foundation of the present dental
profession the Baltimore College OF
Dental Surgery, the first dental
school in the world.
Horace H. Hayden and Chaplin A
Harris, the admitted founders, of the
dental profession, contributed, in ad-
dition to the factor of dental educa.
ton, other opportunities for profes.
sional growth and development. In
1889 the American Journal of Denta'
Science was founded, with Harris as
it's editor. DR.. Harris continued fully
responsible for dentistry's initial ven.
ture into periodic. dental literature
to the time of his death. In 1910 the

OPINIONS AS
TO THE BENEFIT
OF MACHINES

The evidence in the case would be
thrown out of any court in the land,
but an idea still persists in some
quarters that machines destroy more
jobs than they make. AS a result,
even those in position to know bet
ter are found declaring that some
thing should be done to curb the ma
chine-that perhaps a moratorium on
invention should be declared.
Short-sightedness is responsible for
this stand. It neglects the fact that
it is in the periods of greatest ma
chine development that the great in
creases in jobs and payrolls have been
built up in this country, and that
when this process has been slowed
down, stagnation has been the result.
In other words, it is through placing
greater confidence in the machine
rather than in curtailing machine
progress that prosperity is to be
found.
Some extremely revelant facts in
this connection are brought out in a
recent "New England Letter." pub
lished by the First National Bank of
Boston, which points to the automo-
bile industry as an outstanding exam
pie of machine progress.
"The machine" this publication de-
clares, Creates many more jobs than
it destroys. The number of persons
employed directly and indirectly in
the automobile industry today is about
six times as many as the peak en-
ployment in the horse and buggy
business, including the related lines
of activity 1t is estimated that over
four-fifths of the inventions do not
displace labor, but are used to lower
costs and by thus broadening the
markets provide increased employ
ment.
eff the contention were true that
new mechanical devices cause chronic
unemployment, then in each succeed
ing decade a smaller percentage of
the population would be gainfully en-
ployed. The facts are that during
the period of greatest chronological
advance, from 1870 to 1880, the popu-
lation of this country trebled but the
number of workers nearly quadrupled
and the volume of production increas-
ed about elevenfold.
"At present, employment is more
nearly normal in those industries that
are highly mechanical, whereas un-
employment is greatest in lines where
machinery plays a relatively small
part"
The countless evidences of machine
progress are apparent to anyone who
looks at the record over the period
of the years. But as long as there
is misunderstanding, and as long as
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1940-03-08

this misunderstanding is publicly ut
tered, it remains important for those
interested in Americas future well
fare to emphasize the facts of the
case.

besides, in big camps, such as army

not women. So I believe that boys
should learn how to cook.

will need it.

Since men like Jack Dempsey ane
