MIR. R. WRIGHT
GUEST SPEAKER
FOR ROTARIANS
Tells How Man Power In This
Great Country Is Weaken
ed By Many Accidents

Mr.. Riley Wright, of the Eastern
Shore Public Service, was the guest
speaker at the local Rotary Club at
it's latest meeting on Monday night.
Mr.. Wright spoke very interesting
ly and instructively on that topic up
permost in his mind and activity:
Accident Prevention" He showed
by some very startling figures just
what toll accidents-of all kinds
were taking in the population of this
great country.
Strange as it may seem, our de-
tense program, according to Mr..
Wright, is being held up or retarded
by lack of man power. This, he at
tributed, in a large measure to deaths
from accidents which, it is assumed,
could have been prevented. The in
dustrial divisions of the country are
lacking skilled labor and statistics re-
cited by Mr.. Wright, revealed, for
instance, just how many more air
planes could have been built by those
whose lives were sacrificed by pre-
ventable fatalities.

SELECTIVE MAY
NOW CHOOSE HIS
OWN RESIDENCE
In The Event He Has More
Than One Place, He May List
Own Choice, UnOppOsed
THIS NEW PROCEDURE
A BIG IMPROVEMENT

A Selective Service registrant who,
on the registration day of July l., has
more than one place of residence may
choose the one which he wants re-
corded on his registration card as his
place of residence to determine the
local boadr that will always have jur-
isdiction over him, 1t. Col. Henry C.
Stanwood, State Director for Mary
land, said this week.
On the first registration day, Oc-
tober 16, 1910, such registrants were
often confused as to which place to
list, the director pointed out. This
was especially true in instances
where men had legal residences in
one community but had a temporary
dwelling place in another. AS the
residence listed on the registration
card determines what local board has
permanent jurisdiction over the regis
trant, some of the men later wished
to change the address they had given,
but were denied the privilege be-
cause Selective Service Regulations
prohibit such changes.
In the second registration on July
LIST, Colonel Stanwood said, the regis
tration cards will contain space for
the registrant to list his place of
residence. In the event that he has
more than one place, he may list his
choice as his residence without inter-
ference or dictation from a registrar,
the Director added.
In addition, the registration card
will have space for recording Of a
mail address. This may be the same
as the place of residence or it may be
another address where the registrant
would receive his mail more readily.
Pointing out that new Selective
Service Regulations prescribe that
there will be two places for addresses
on the registration card, Colonel Stan
wood said:
"This new procedure is expected to
be big improvement over that fol-
lowed in the first registration when
only one space was allowed on the
registration card for an address be-

BURGLAR CAUGHT
in STORE ROOM
OF l. ]. HANCOCK
Notice Of His Presence Is Her.
aided BY A Small Dog That
Sleeps In The Building

Aroused about midnight, Tuesday
by the unusual excitement Of a little
black terrier which Mr.. Hancock al
lows to sleep in his store room, he
decided to investigate.
Entering the room from his resi-
dence which joins the store building,
Mr.. Hancock found everything quiet;
but, after going back to his house
the dog again began his desperate
barking. This time, Mr.. Lennie
Parks came at Mr.. Hancock's call,
and the two located Walter Collins,
a negro about q years of age, con-
cealed in a back room behind a lot
of piled up boxes.
Officer Parks gave him the order
to come out, hands up. The burglar
was slow in coming, taking about
10 minutes for him to decide what
he would do. Finally, he crawled out
and surrendered. Nothing more dan
gerous than an ice-pick was found on
his person.
While in the store, the negro, who
lives in Bedlam, had collected some
goods and carried them out a back
door which leads into a garage.
These were found, apparently, before
he had had time to get away with
them. They consisted of flour, ciga-
rettes, and some canned goods.
The negro was tried on Wednes-
day before Justice Gladding who held
him for Court, and he is now lodged
in the Snow Hill Jail.

truck, belonging to Mr.. Frank Bowler
of this city, towards New Church, he
lost control of the machine at the turn
just north of that village. 1t cap
sized into ditch after striking cul-

In the truck with johnson was
Frank Anderson, colored, and also a
