Mike Jacobs, who wants
every cloud to have . golden
lining, Is cycling Chicago with
that ole itching In his palm.
The ht-famished Windy City
has not had . look 1t the Nc
Coy since Louis ratified Brad
dock off the canvass some
four years ago. In addition to
this:
Nova has never looked too
good in New York.
Railroads and press have as
sured a full cooperation.
The largest gate in history -
$2,658,000 - was drawn at
Soldiers Field for the second
Dempsey-Tunney bout in Sept
ember of 1927.
Jacobs fears competition from
the World Series, looming for
the Yankees, possibly both the
American Leaguers and the Dod-
gers. Many sport fans Of mod
est means could not afford to
attend both big shows.
All of this however, Is moth
ing compared to the large piece
of silver pie Jacobs would cut
himself at Comiskey Park In
Chicago.
At Yankee Stadium, they want
ten per cent of the gate. In
Chicago, he can rent the park for
a flat $4,000 (The Polo
Grounds in Gotham seats 10000
less than the Yank stamping
grounds).
And, with a possible $500, 900
gate Cor more), that would be
$50, 900 inside Uncle Mikes wal
let; at least, it would be $50, 900
until Uncle Sam, no relative, got
his mits on it.
On the other hand, he might
get the same deal at Briggs. The

My First Extended Visit To Baltimore, Nd,

which was our last stop on the trip
to Baltimore.
After leaving Crisfield, l retired at
seasonable hour knowing that at
A. M, the next day we would reach
our destination-Baltim City. We
arose early and were soon in readi-
ness to accompany a cousin, (who
met us and whom we were to visit)
to his home in the northwestern part
of the city.
Seated in a carriage drawn by a
pair of fine horses, we soon arrived
at our Cousins home where we spent
nearly three eventful weeks. I can
now draw a contrast between the
Baltimore of that distant day and
the up-to-date city of the first half
of the present century. In that dis
tant day it was the city of Barnum's
Hotel, The Rennert Hotel, the Man.

old Holiday Street Theatre, the num-
erous Steamboat Wharves along
Light Street, South Street, and Pratt
Street, the old President Street Rail-
road Station, Jones Falls, the Mer-
chants Bank, which was the largest
bank in the South, and the State Nor
NAL School facing Lafayette Square.
DR.. John F. Goucher. who organized
the Woman's College (later called
Goucher College) was just a rising
young Methodist preacher.
What do we find in Baltimore City
today? We take space to mention
The Plaza, Union and Mt. Royal Rail-
road Stations, the Emerson, Belvedere
and the Lord Baltimore Hotels, Uni
versity Parkway, the War Memorial,
the Skyscrapers, the mammoth apart
ment houses, The Lyric, The Fifth
Regiment Armory and the great
Johns Hopkins University and Hospi-
tai, the Union Memorial Hospital, the
immense department stores and mag
nificent churches. In fact, the "horse
and buggy days" have been succeeded
by the Machine Age, equipped for
transportation on earth, and in the
sky and on sea and under sea.

YOUNGSTERS BEGIN
EARLY AT AUTO THEFTS

A series of automobile lootings
which occurred in the vicinity of Els
sex during the last several months
have been solved, according to police,
with the arrest Of two twelve-year-
old youths, who live in the Essex
area.
The boys arrested in connection
with the automobile lootings, were
Thomas Sears, who lives at IL Mar
Ign avenue, Essex, and David Kahler,
of Eastern avenue, near Marlyn ave-
nue., Essex
According to Officers 81. Adams
and George T. Hudnet, who appre-
hended the youths, they picked up
Sears on the suspicion of taking reg
istered mail from q parked automo-
bile some time ago.
Questioning Sears, the officers said
that he admitted taking the mail, and
implicated Kahler. The officers ap-
pretended Kahler and took both boys
to the Sears home, where they stated
that they recovered large quantity
Of articles allegedly stolen from au-
tomobiles left parked in the vicinity

JUNGLE SAM" LOOKING
FOR HITLER SUBMARINES

It has been reported that four U.
s. submarines of the large cruising
class were anchored near the Ice
breaker at Lewes. Their identity
numbers could not be determined but
from reports it is not uncommon for
them to come in and out of the road
steads. It was reported, however, that
the four were the greatest number
that have been anchored in the road
steads since the war started in Sep
TENDER Of 80. Information as to
when they dropped anchor and how
long they would remain was termed
military confidential information. No
vertification could be had that they
were there for the express reasons of
scouting for the proposed activity of
the much publicized German U-Boat.
It was also reported that the U. S.
Government is getting ready to build
an 1900 foot loading dock in the
Lewes harbor. Just what it's usages
will be, was another piece of confiden
tial information which could not be
wormed out of those officials in "the
know"

by steamboat in the steamers din
ing room in the long, long ago:
Zone of the thrills of a steamboat
trip was eating supper on the boat
and what an Appetite! The dining
room was light and CHEEKY and how
happy the country boy would be to
have a seat at the Captains table,
and there was a profusion of chicken,
fish and steak, accompanied by steam
ing coffee and all the. other good
things of that easy-going and bouti
full age"
Will boy ever forget such an ex-
perience? We know it will always
occupy a green spot in his memory
during the whole of his life.
All that I have described is some-
thing of what was traded for the au-
tomobile. What a change and trans
formation in the manner of travel
has been effected by the introduction
of the automobile. Most of the steam
boat companies have gone into liqui-
dation. The steamboats, have long
since disappeared from the river of
the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The
average boy of the Eastern Shore of
today makes the trip to Baltimore in
his fathers automobile. He leaves
home early in the morning and is
back by a late bedtime, after spend
ing several hours in the city. Really,
did he get as much pleasure and en-
joyment out of the automobile trip
in one day as he would have received
from the three day trip by steam
boat?
Finally, after my visit described
above, reached home where I set
tied down to the usual routine of
every day life. During the years in
tevening between 1876 and the pres
ent time, have visited the Monument
tai City many, many times, but new
err was visit so wonderful and thrill
ing as was my first extended one
that I have described above.
In the rush of mad events and the
whirl of the present day, when war
clouds are hanging low over a bewil-
dered world, it is really refreshing
for US older ones to think back to the
Victorian period of our history and
realize the serenity of those days
when some of the greatest discover
les were being made, and the re-
suits of great inventions were being
launched upon the world for the
greater conveniences and comforts of
society and the better enjoyment of
living.
Will we ever enjoy such tranquil
ity again? Let us hope that we will,
and in that hope prepare to face the
future bravely.

WOMAN ATTORNEY IN
BALTIMORE COUNTY

When Miss E. Catherine Luken, of
2O5 Hardwood avenue, Raspeburg,
Md, was presented before the Court
of Appeals, last March 5, she became
the only practicing woman attorney
in Baltimore County. Although the
records are not available, it is be-
lieved that Miss Luken is the young
est woman attorney to be admitted to
the bar in Maryland. She is just Il
years of age.
Attorney Luken is a daughter of
Magistrate Clarence G. Luken, of Full
lerton. She attended the Fullerton
Elementary School, graduated from
Kenwood High School, Philadelphia
road, in 1887, entered the University
of Baltimore for her law studies the
same year and graduated in 1910.
Last November she took the bal
examination for the first time anC
passed with the high mark of 229
which placed her in the first 20 pei
cent in the standing.
Miss Luken is convinced that wo
men today have the best possible
chance of all times to succeed in thu
professional world.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
BIG THEFT AT ONANCOCK
DEPARTMENT STORE

The department store of Click q
Sons, Onancock, Va, was robbed some
time between closing time Saturday
night, March Is and daylight Sunday
and $500 worth of mems suits stol-
en-. Entrance to the store was gain
ed by forcing the lock on the back
door. A check-up by the firm show
ed that SO suits were stolen at a val
ne of $15OO.OO. There was insurance
on them. This is quite a daring rob-
berry as the apartments over the store
are occupied.
The robbery was discovered Sun
day about noon, when Vernon Mason,
an employee of the firm, went to the
store to look around. He notified
members of the firm and they in
turn called in Sheriff E. P. Parks.
Nothing in the store had been dis
turbed, except the clothing rack. In
vestigation disclosed that the robbers
had apparently parked their automo-
bile beside a fence back of the store
and that the suits had been handed
over the fence into the hands of ac-
completes. There were a number of
footprints and tracts of an automobile
beside the fence.
There are no clues to the robbers.
This is the largest store robbery on
the Shore in several years.

Af&rysccumulating fund of infor-
nation about the two great cities, fl
nally the day arrived for our return
home with chance to keep our feet
on the ground and our heads out of
the clouds once more and when we
would be compelled to settle down a
gain to the stern and urgent duties
of active and practical life, but with
a fervent desire to see more of this
wonderful world at some future time.
We boarded the steamer at P.
M. at her wharf at the foot of South
Street, Baltimore, for the twenty-one
hour trip home. Soon we were steam
ing down the Patapsco River past the
shipping, past the unfinished Fort
Carroll, and past the famous Fort
McHenry, the birthplace of Francis
Scott Keys immortal song, "The
Star Spangled Banner, the National
anthem. Soon after we found that
the steamer was entering the Chesa-
peake Bay.
After a sail of a couple of hours,
in the distance the lights of Annap-
oils, Maryland's capital city came in
to view, where is located the nation
ally known, United States Naval
Academy and the ancient State House
in one room of which George Wash
ington surrendered his commission
as Commander in the Revolutionary
Army.
Later in the evening, after a siren
uous day, I retired to a comfortable
berth in the mems cabin in the hold
of the steamer. I was soon lulled to
sleep by the ryhthmic sounds of the
great crank shaft and the side wheels
of the steamer, in joyful anticipation
of the coming morrow when would

inspection furnished both entertain
ment and information concerning
what might be termed "a floating
palace"
The engine room, the lower deck,
the upper deck, the hurricane deck,
the pilot house, with its guiding
wheel and mariners compass-all
came in for inspection. It was in
teresting to note the activity and
the excitement on the part of the
deck hands that were manifested
when the steamer stopped at the diff
ferent landings to put out freight and
to take on freight.

graphically what happened to many

in the north east suburbs of New
town (now Pocomoke City, Md The
farm, which is a part Of tract OF
land called Cowley, or Winter Quar-
ter, was bought in 1929 by my grand
father and namesake from a lineal
descendant of the original owner, Col.
William Stevens, Of Somerset Coun-
ty, Maryland, after whom this town
was first called on named, Stevens
Landing. The house in which live,
was built by my grandfather in 1880
and is, without doubt, the oldest
house now standing in Pocomoke
City.
My life, during my boyhood, was
not different from that of scores OF
other boys of that period and, for
the first six years, the time passed
with one day very much like the prev
ious day. The time to enter school
soon came along, and when that time
actually arrived it seemed to open up
a new world, a world of startling sur
prises, of aspirations, ambitious, and
of constant and intricate problems,
the solving of which would be life's
work. The study of English, Math-
ematics, History, and other interest
ing branches, was the means of a.
rousing in my mind a thirst for
knowledge.
I made rapid progress in my
studies and in four years after I en-
tered school, I began the study of
Latin, and in three years later the
study of Greek. ALI during my school
days, the time outside of school hours
did not hang heavily on my hands,
but every hour had its duty to per-
form in the feeding Of fowl, stock,
milking, cutting wood, preparing
kindling, making fires, running err
rands and performing chores of every
description.
All through those formative years,
there was engendered in me the ar
dent desire to see some Of The out
side world-the unfulfilled dreams of
boyhood-that a day would finally
arrive when I would have the great
treat and privilege Of making visit
to the city of Baltimore, the metropo-
lis of the state of Maryland, my ma
tive State. I had studied and read
about that city and had heard inter-
esting accounts of it. At last, after
long years of waiting, the day-of-
days arrived when my longing desire
actually was gratified.
On the day selected for my depart
ure on the journey, the reader can
imagine what a thrill came to US
when my sister and I found ourselves
standing at the wharf near the foot
of Market Street, Newtown on Mon
day at 8 A. M. waiting to board a
steamer of the Eastern Shore Steam
boat Company on its regular twice.
a-week trip to Baltimore. On its ar
rival from its terminal, Snow Hill,
Nd.
With a sigh of great relief we en-
barked on the steamer and it was
soon steaming down the Pocomoke
River. Standing at a window of the
steamers salon, to me it was very
interesting to note the name of the
landing points at which the steamer
would stop to take on freight and pas
sengers; such points as Puncheon
Landing, Rehoboth, Cedar Hall, She'll
town and Pitts Wharf. We were
soon crossing Pocomoke Sound, over
the Virginia State line, and heading
for Onancock Greek in which was To-
Gated our next stop, the enterprising
town of Onancock, Va.
Leaving Onancock, we recrossed
Pocomoke Sound and late in the day
reached the wharf at Crisfield, Md,
