such, has many opponents.

ing, Regeneration is the enemy Of
progress;" and Calvin Coolidge wrote:
Progress depends very largely ON the
encouragement of variety. The
privilege Of the individual to develop
his own thoughts and shape his own

Of Standardization. For no matter
how high q human standard may be,
limitation is always present because
that standard is below perfection. For
example, one might have highly de-

were taken as an ultimate standard,
progress would not be made beyond
it. This would mean the stultifying

Jesus gave the one perfect standard
for all time when he said Matthew

as your Father which is in heaven is
perfect" No standard is high enough,

10 New Rooms With Baths VIII
Be Added To The Local
HOstelry
NEW KITCHEN BUILT
DINING ROOM EXTENDED

Work is progressing rapidly on the
new addition to the local hostelry-
Hotel Pocomoke, Mr.. Frank Bowler,
proprietor.
Mr.. Bowler has utilized about all
the land available in his location,
covering it with new kitchen and
two stories above it for bedrooms.
The old kitchen has been torn away
and the space formerly occupied will
give opportunity for dining room
and two floors above for sleeping
rooms.
Altogether, ten rooms will be add
ed to the accommodations of guests,
each room with available bath. The
dining room extends from the lobby
along Willow Street for about fifty
feet and has width of "a feet. Part
of this room will be attractively ar
ranged for a coffee shop.
Ever since the present proprietor
has been in possession, he has hardly
paused in his progress Of improve
ment. At the very outset, he remov-
ed the two-story porch, which, in the
opinion of many was no ornament,
and practically useless. He covered
the utside with white asbestos shin
giles, and built in several bath rooms.
On the inside, he refurnished and
redecorated the bed rooms, making
them second to none on the Shore.
He added coffee shop to the eating
facilities and attractively furnished
the dining room. This, according to
the changes in progress will be con-
verted into sleeping quarters.
When completed, Pocomoke will
have a most attractive and efficient
home for travellers, and no one need
have any hesitancy in. recommending

Last Thursday night the team was
scheduled to play in fredericksburg,

allowing the Milford team but one
earned run.
On Sunday the "Chicks" split a
double-header with the Centreville
team on the local diamond, taking
the opener 81 and losing the night
cap SO. The one thing that stood
out in this twin bill was the batting
of Joe Hartle, left fielder, who got
six hits in seven trips to the plate,
including two homers, two doubles
and two singles.
On Monday the game at Milford
was rained out

HAIL DAMAGES

MONDAY NIGHT
Frozen Pellets Puncture Top of
Mr.. Orville MasOn's Auto i

CUTS SWATH IL MILES
WIDE ACROSS PENINSULA

Mr.. Orville Mason, of this city,
knows now what real hail storm is.
On Monday evening last, while he was
in Salisbury, Mr.. Mason's car was ex-
posed to hail which fell there, and the
top of the machine was converted in
to, practically, a sieve by the large
frozen pellets.
The cover was punctured in many
places and when Mr.. Mason started
home, water was running from be-
meath the door of his auto. The top
was completely ruined.
He states the noise of the stones
hitting objects as they fell was ter
rifle; and, for awhile, he thought pos
sibly Salisbury was experiencing an
air raid. Pocomoke, luckily, escap-
ed the storm, but did have slight
rain.
The hail seems to have been of un-
usual force and, together with an ac-
companying electrical storm did con-
siderable damage to early summer
crops which lay in it's path.
The storm was reported in the Cam
bridge area and swept across the
Eastern Shore past Salisbury. It's
path apparently forty to- fifty miles
long, southeastward toward the
ocean.
