The Churches have been called
Americans first line of Defense, "
and it is certain that they have served
all through their history more than
religious purpose and have proved
to be rallying centers for democracy,
patriotism and education.
The churches need earnest search
ers after truth as never before. The
situation in this war-torn world today
is such that the pepole should realize
the Importance of clinging to the
Bible and it's teachings more ten
aciously than ever before and should
flock to the churches for prayer. Some
one has said that the Sunday School
is the nursery of the church and If
it performs the work required of 1T,
the young people as they reach the
age of accountability will become
members of the church. Some one
has also said that the prayer meeting
is the thermometer of the church and
this institution is worthy of the con-
slant patronage of every one interest
ed in the prosperity of the church
and the spiritual growth of every
member.
There is a great future that
stretches out before the churches of
Pocomoke City, and the good work
that they will accomplish will depend
on the endeavor made by each in
dividual member in cooperation with
the respective pastors of the six
churches, Rev. H. V. Clary, j. A.

Shorts, Bras
Irk Texas
Officials

AUSTIN, TEX, Feb. 18-(R)
Its shorts and brassieres, not
the bottled goods, that are giving
the state liquor board a head
ache.
The issue is, "Do shorts and
brassieres constitute sufficient
covering for a beer gardens
carhop?"
The boards answer is mo"
but the members don't know just
what to do about it.
While the liquor board devot-
ed an all-day session to discus
sion of sex appeal in relation to
beer sales, Houston police were
investigating the fatal shooting
of Mrs. Maxine Long, 10, . car
hop in one of the establishments,
and Henry M. Griffin, IS, cat
tleman.
Justice of the Peace Ben Moor
head said Griffin shot Mrs. Long,
then himself.
In Griffin's pocket was a
note saying: "Ten days ago
discovered that Maxine had been
trifling on me and did not love
me as she said. =" My last
wish is that we be buried in ad-
joining graves.
The officials reactions con-
corning their duty in connection
with the scanty uniforms:
Chairman w. j. Townsend:
When you try to write an order
describing the type of dresses a
woman should wear, you're get
ting into trouble, but I'm again
this near-nakednesS."
Bryan Bradbury of the legal
department: Il don't think the
board could assume legislative
powers by regulating costumes"
Chief enforcement officer c.
A. Paxton hopefully: II be-
lieve most beer driveins have
abandoned extreme costumes.
So the board voted down a
motion to draw up an order pre-
scribing what the girls should
wear and instructed Bert Ford:
Garry out the law"
Ford said he would start on
the assumption women employees
of beer retailers should wear
predominantly the same clothes
as women employed in other
places.
But the boards woes may be
over. ]. D. Sivil, operator of
the Houston Cafe which still uses
the scanties, said his carhops
would be wearing skirts March
1-skirts that come clear down
to within four inches of the
knees.
But Sivil insisted he could see
nothing indecent in the shorts.

Oahu Deienses
are Examined
Press Invited
to View Coins

HONOLULU, Feb. 1872
The army permitted newsmen
to see and judge for themselves
today the measures taken to
safeguard strategic points of
Oahu Island against the poten-
tial dangers of invasion.
While it is not possible to de-
tail what the officers unfolded,
with considerable pride, it can
be said there are huge new fly
ing fields, far more nests of ar
tillery, many more miles of
heavier barb-wire entanglements
and an increase In the numbers
of three, five and eight-inch
guns on bluffs overlooking the
sea.
Huge Eucalyptus logs h v e
been cut, trimmed and imbed-
ded among the sand dunes to
form almost impenetrable ma
chine-gun implements.
Where but a few weeks ago
rifle and artillery companies
had little cover, there now are
deeply hidden dugouts with
frame walls, lights and hunks.
Work is progressing night and
day on one new flying field of
which no details can be given
but at which every advantage
obviously is being taken for the
+concealment of planes and shops.
All manner of gunnery prac-
tise is under way along t h e
coast. At one point, crews of 33
millfmeter guns were firing at
a rock one mile out, and their
aim was comfortably accurate.
In response to many questions
regarding evidences of unusual
military strategism, one officer
commented:
You cannot arrange for the
defense of Hawaii from books.
This is a unique terrain and a
different war"
Pointing to the development
of troops as to depth and to the
evidence of fire power far back
from the coast, another officer
said:
IAN invader would have to
succeed by the first blow or not
at all. AS long as we have air
superiority and heavy bombers,
anyone trying to come in now
would invite disaster"

and was not mentioned by Pc

Daladier, Gamelin, Blum and
La Chambre are in Bourassol
Chateau, near Riom, after two
months at Portalet fortress near
Pau. Jacomet also was confined
in Bourassol Chateau.
REYNAUD HELD
Still held in Portalet are Paul
Reynaud, the last premier of the
Republic, and Georges Mandel,
his minister of interior. Petain
in his broadcast said there were
grave presumptions" against
Reynaud and Mandel but said
nothing of a trial for them.
It was arranged that the five
to be tried would be taken away
to Riom prison, which is con-
nected with the court room by
an underground tunnel.
Daladier was charged with not
consulting the Supreme War
Council on questions relative to
preparation for war; Blum was
accused of knowing of the def
ciencies of national defense and
Of "neglecting to give to arma-
ment factories the impetus which
the situation urgently command
ed"
Jacomet was charged with hid
ing as late as December, 1899,
the fact that France was not
ready, morally and materially,
in the military, political and eco
nomic domains"
GAMELIN ACCUSED
La Chambre was said to have
been unable to correct the poor
aviation situation he found when
he became Daladier's air minis
ter.
Gamelin stood accused as the
man in direct charge of the war
machine until Dunkerque.

Magic Drink
Does Internal
Operation

NEW YORK, Feb. 18-R-
Science has new, magic drink
of water which does an internal
surgical operation, complete,
bloodless, painless, harmless.
The drink is ordinary water
containing radioactive iodine.
The taste is natural. The opera
ton is done by the rays of the
iodine, on the thyroid glands Of
sick humans and of experiment
tai animals.
A survey today showed this
iodine in use both at the Univer-
sity of California and at Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology,
where it is produced by the cy-
clotrons of the respective insti-
tutions. Radioactive iodine is
not known in nature. It must
be made artificially. 1t emits
rays like those of radium.
When q person takes a drink
of water containing this kind of
iodine, scientists can tell exactly
where 1t goes by listening to the
chattering sound made by the
rays in an electrical pickup.
It goes almost entirely to the
thyroid gland, 5000 times as
much concentrating there as in
any other tissues.
Thus concentrated, these rays
do exactly the same sort of sur
gical removal as radium or x
rays. They can dissolve part or
all Of q thyroid gland.
At the University of Califor-
MIA q dog took enough of this
water to remove the whole
gland. No other organ or tissue
was harmed. It's thyroid was re-
placed by some ordinary fibrous
tissues.
For human beings the
amount of thyroid gland re-
moved depends directly on how
much of the water is drunk, but
there seems to be little or no
danger of OVERRIDING. For the
gland will absorb only a little
of the iodine at time, and IL
more than this is drunk il is
promptly and wholly excreted.
Unlike radium, the radio-ac-
tive iodine does not last for
thousands of years, but for only
a few days. After that its fires
are out, ii burns no more. and
there Is no danger from any of
il that might remain q long time.

Even a king had to walk up if

The truth is, Shangri-La exists
only In the ingenious mind of James
