New Awnings Help
To Keep Heat Out,
Also Look Smart
They Combine Beauty
Of Venetiun Blinds
With Ventilation
BY LAWRENCE CROLIUs.

New ways OF keeping out summer
heat seem to be popping up every
day, and the owners of small homes
and jewellers in compact apartments
can enjoy these comfort makers
just as easily as their more affluent
neighborS in large mansions. No
longer is it necessary for people
who have to stay at home during
hot weather to sit around and gasp
in roasting interiors, because for
only few dollars it is possible to
equip your home with a device or
two that will do an excellent job
Of heat relief.
Few of us realize how important
the good old awning is in this bust
ness OF keeping heat out of the
mouse. BY shading the windows
from the direct rays of the sun
they help to keep the interior cool
and pleasant, but unfortunately
they also keep a considerable
amount of air from circulating and
create a feeling of closeness and
STIFFNESS.
A new style of awning which is
now on the market, however, COM
Dimes the exterior SUM- shading eff
1ect OF the awning with the light
ana ventilation control of the
Venetian blind. In fact, these new
awnings look for all the world like
the Venetian blinds used inside
homes, except that they are made
OF metal and are placed over win
oows in exactly the same way that
awnings are erected.
Awnings Made of Steel.
These awnings are made of GAL
Vanized steel which has been pro-
cessed in very special way so that
1t will take and hold a decorating
coat of paint. The cleverly shaped
ms or Stats are ruggedly made and
will hold their shape without sag
glng or warping. They are spaced
on sturdy frames, and once the
awning has been put in place it
may be lett there without your
having to take it down laboriously
Tor storage or repair with the
changing of the seasons.
Various types and sizes of these
awnings are being made to fit all
shapes and kinds of windows and
because of the simplicity of their
construction they can be erected
with a minimum of labor and eX-
pense. They provide year around
protection against the sun. and with
their added features of full visibility
and light control they would seem
to be an excellent investment for
almost any type of home.
New Masonry Paint.
This new paint for masonry is
mixed with water and applied with
either large calcimine brush or a
spray gun. 1t dries in about an hour.
and 1t is possible for the entire
house to be painted in day or
overnight. This makes it possible
for you to eliminate the shifting of
scaf1olds and staging and lowers
the overall cost of the Job. The
only preliminary work which is real
~ necessary is a thorough wire
brushing and busting so that dirt,
poWdery mortar, whitewash or other
loose coatings will be removed. 1t
Is also necessary to take off any
grease and oil stains so that they
will not show through.

Removing WoII Stuins

When walls that have been casein
painted become soiled with grease
spots, place sheet of blotting paper
over the spots and run hot iron
over the paper, continuing the oper-
alton until the soiled portion of the
wall feels quite warm. This should
draw the grease to the surface so
that the paper may absorb it. When
no more grease can be removed by
this method, moisten a clean cloth
with carbon tetrachloride and draw
it quickly over the grease stain NOV
ing it only in one direction. This
should remove the remainder of the

SGT. MINNICK
RECEIVES THE
1910 AWARD
Consisting Of Gold Medal And
Two Hundred And Twenty
five Dollars In Cash
PREFERMENT AS RESULT
OF SAFETY EDUCATION

The Salisbury Award goes this
year to Sergt. Charles Emory Min
nick, member of the Maryland State
Police. This award is made annually
and consists of a gold medal and a
cash prize of 1925, and is given to
that citizen who, in the opinion of a
board of trustees, has performed the
most outstanding public service for
the community. The award to Sergt.
Minnick in connection with his "saf-
ETY. through Education" classes which
have resulted in a fifty percent re-
duction in traffic deaths in the three
counties under his jurisdiction.
The gold medal was presented on
Saturday last by the Rev. Albert H.
Frost of st. Peters Protestant Epis-
copal Church at public theater cere-
mony.
Upon the presentation, Minnick
said: "It is a great surprise to Inc to
receive this award.
81 am the happiest man on the
Eastern Shore today. I sincerely ap-
preciate the award and the money
will be used in the safety through
education program"
An unnamed donor established the
award in 1925 and it has been pre-
scented annually, with one exception,
since. Nominations are made by Sal
isbury residents and final choice is
determined by a board of trustees.
Sergeant Minnick started his traf-
fic-safety campaign three years ago
in Wic0mico County high school,
Within a year it spread to twenty
schools.
Today the course has been adopted
in every high school in Wicomico,
Somerset and Worcester counties.
In addition, when Delaware Off
Gals noted that the three adjoining
Maryland counties had slashed the
traffic death toll in half the safety
program was put into effect in thir-
ty-nine high schools of that State.
Gov. Herbert R. O'Conor has an
nounced that safety through educa-
ton" is to become required course
in every Maryland high school.
When Minnick, now SO, conceived
the plan his superiors gave permits
sion to experiment, but said no funds
could be allotted.

fused to donate machine, but "loan-
ed" Minnick new car every three
months free of charge. All repairs

American Legion National Child We'll
fare Program.
Explanatory of this new and most
worthy activity, within the jurisdic-
ton of this Post, Commander from

with the assistance of the American
public had raised an Endowment
Fund of approximately $5,000,000.00

high standard of securities, under
the administration of a Special Board
of Trustees. The earnings from this
Fund are turned over to The Ameri-
can Legion under certain restrictions

WICOMIC0 CO.
IN OPEN HOUSE
FOR CANDIDATE
Will Honor Congressman Ward,
The COunty's Candidate For
House Of Representatives

The members of the Democratic
party of Wicomico County will hold
a reception and open house on Satur-
day, March 16, for Congressman Da-
vid J. Ward.
The date will mark the opening of
Congressman Wards campaign for
denomination. Since announcing last
December, duties in Congress have
not given him an opportunity to con-
duct his Eastern Shore campaign as
he would have liked to.
Congressman Ward will be with
US at the Wicomico Hotel Ballroom
from two to six o'clock and we will
assist him in greeting his friends and
making them feel at home," State
Senator r. Fulton Waller said. We
expect a large delegation from each
of the counties and the ladies are par
ticularly invited to attend.
Congressman Ward, who formally
filed for the primaries on March 5,
said that the reception was called by,
and was in the hands of, his party in
Wicomico County.
81 hope to see all my friends there, &"
he said. 81 understand that blan-
ket invitation has been issued to them
by the Wicomico County Democrats. "
During the present session of Con-
gress Mr.. Ward has left his duties at
Washington only for weekend visits
to his home in Salisbury.
Democratic leaders of Wicomico
County explained that the reception
was planned so that he would have an
opportunity to meet as many of his
friends as possible while on one of his
trips home.

PILCHARD CASE
IS REMOVED TO
TOWSON COURT
Defendants Declare They Be-
lieve They Could Not Get A
Fair Trial In Worcester
NO INFORMATION AS TO
WHEN TRIAL WILL OPEN

The Pilchard murder, robbery, and
rape case, the details of which are
now so we'll known in Worcester and
other counties has been removed to
Towson, Baltimore county, for trial.
This removal was at the request Of
the defendants who declared it their
belief they could not get a fair trial
in Worcester. There has been some
adverse criticism as to the removal of
this case; but, it is only fair to say
that the accused have the constitu-
tional right to ask for a change of
venue, and their counsel is required
to instruct them as to such right.
However, in this case, there does not
appear to have been any further adj
vice as to the danger of violence if
the trial was conducted in the local
courts. That question of fact was
not proposed; the prisoners decided
in their own minds as to that point,
and made their decision without opin-
ion from counsel. Consequently, the
removal was consummated along the
line of strict legal Interpretation, and
not upon any special influence from
those appointed by the Court to de-
fend the criminals.
In appointing Attorneys Ewell, Of
Pocomoke City; and J. H. Price, Of
Snow Hill, as counsel for the defen-
dants, the Court had the following to
say:
"The persons who have been indict-
ed are, we are informed, now in Gus
