Different Problem

"We have about go high
schools In Detroit alone. Among
these there are 40 teams divided
up into divisions for our football
season. They are something Of q
neighborhood proposition. Team
followers will not have q long
distance to come and transporta-
ton will not be q big factor.
"Our athletic contests take on
more the flavor of intra-mural
contests although they are be-
tween schools. Our basketball
teams draw perhaps q crowd Of
200 or 500. But these smaller
groups are excellent for school
morale. Remember our high
schools have perhaps 500 or 400
people, while a big city high
school has an enrolment Of
1000"

two full periods must be taken by
late corners.
If in cases where students can't
get in their athletic training and
their scholastic course. then one
45-minute scholastic period must
be dropped.
Senior boys are being urged TO
visit their family physicians for
general physical examinations.
Reports are made TO the physical
educational director, and correc-

boys with simple defects.
Special attention will be paid
to posture.
Military drill will be included.
Girls will get the same intensive

The use Of women in increas-

traffic cops to real estate asses

troit's municipal employe problem,
city officials have revealed.
Even Mayor Edward J. Jeffries
Jr., far from being a feminist, has
led the movement TO supplant with
women all male employees entering
the armed services or seeking the
higher wages of war plant; even
on Jobs heretofore considered
strictly in mans domain.

ing his entire department to find
just how many police jobs could
be filed by women.

Sublette admitted his depart.
ment has for some time been sur.
veying skilled and semi-skilled city
jobs to see how many can be filled
by women and how many can be
de-skilled sufficiently to m e e
womens' talents.
Eat the recent civil service
convention, I learned that the
Chicago Park Board intends to
replace at least 50 per cent Of

"They find they can be used
to direct traffic, guard school
crossings and handle police desk
work."

Point, thence in an east course to
Saxis Island and across the Peninsula
to the Ocean. The old compact made
in 100 clearly showed that the Mary
land line went to the South bank of
the Potomac river with Smith Point
monument. Governor Wise tried to
make the middle of the channel of the
river the line. He next contended that
Watkins Point was the north side of
the Manokin river and that Saxis Is
land was a bunch of marshy ham
mocks above the Pocomoke muds. Col.
Aydelotte knew different. AS Civil

his stay at Pocomoke Sunday evening.
The paper made this fact known to
the public with the result that at
eight o'clock on Sunday evening the
side walk in front of the main door
way was crowded with people, from
all parts of the country, anxious to
hear what he had to say. The coming
trial was the general topic of CONVEX
sation at every place where a crowd
gathered and many came to hear him
discuss the Will case. They were dis
appointed in this particular. He never
mentioned it.
Standing in the hall at the head of
the stairway, he began his address
In some way his appearance had
changed With his wide white collar
and lowered stock, Prince Albert
coat, with shoulders erect, he was an
imposing figure. 1t was the Henry
A. Wise of old, who addressed the
audience.
l can remember only a few of the
outstanding sentences of his speech.
1t was a mastery one replete with
both pathos and humor. Even his
voice had lost it's gruffness. Although
bothered by his cough occasionally
he spoke for nearly two hours.
His opening sentence was my
friends" Looking over the crowd and
after an impressive pause of nearly
full minute, he continued: GAS my
near neighbors, have many friends
in this old Commonwealth of Mary
land whom l love, and who l think
love me. Neighbors who are friends
what can man desire more?" Then
he paid tribute to the women of the

Eastern Shore, their beauty, loyalty,
faithfulness to church and home, and
then last but not least, to the culin-
airy art, which was unequaled in any
section of the country.
CAS- for the men of the Shore" he
said, "you will find them in all parts
of this broad land and wherever
found, they are leaders in thought and
action for the development of re-
sources and betterment of the people
of that locality"
He next touched upon his pleasant
memories Of a number of prominent
Marylanders and laid particular stress
upon his association with Col. VIM.
j. Aydelotte, at that time State Sen
ator from Worcester County and
whose home was at Pocomoke City.
Raising his voice, he said: II love
man who has the courage of his con-
victions They are the salt of the
earth. Such man is Col. Aydelotte."
In explanation he told of the efforts
of himself as the Virginia member
and Col Aydelotte as the Maryland
representative of a commission ap-
pointed to settle a boundary dispute
by relocation of the Black and Jenkins
line between the two states. The line
was supposed to stand at the Allie
gheny Mountains, follow the Potomac
river to it's mouth, cross Chesapeake
Bay, Tangier Sound to Watkins

When court convened a few weeks
later, the case had been docketed and
trial set for Tuesday of the second
week, the first week being taken up
with minor cases.
My father, William w. Quinn, was
proprietor of the only hotel in POGO
moke at this time. 1t was a large
rambling structure, the largest on the
Shore, and was named fater its owner
''The Clarke House." The lobby and
bar, separated by twenty-foot stair
way, occupied the entire lower floor.
The hall on the second floor was sew
enty-five feet in length and twenty
four feet in width, with guest cham
bers on each side The parlor, as
large as a small theatre, was on the
corner of the building and adjoining
two large guest chambers which were
used only on special occasions.
AS Pocomoke had no town hall,
many social functions, such as par
ties, dances, etc, were held here. The
large parlor, hall and dining room
would accommodate several hundred
people.
On Sunday, two days before the
date set for the trial at Snow Hill,
large closed carriage drove up and
stopped at the side entrance of the
hotel. The hour was about three
o'clock in the afternoon. The colored
driver, a big man with the tallest
beaver hat l had ever seen, jumped
down and opened the carriage door.
NV father, who had been notified in
advance that Governor Wise would re-
quire accommodations on that date,
hurried out to welcome and escort his
distinguished guest to his room.
The writer at the time was lad of
ten years. He had often heard of
Governor Wise and had pictured him
as a man of colossal size. This was
what he saw: A tall gaunt figure bent
with age, with thin straggly hair fall
ing to his shoulders. His face was
long, thin and the color of coffee.
He resembled more a corpse than a
living man. His eyes only were alive.

FORMER CITIZEN
REMINISCES ON
A WILL CASE
Continued from last week.

The estate was left to Lish in trust.
Mr.. SCHOOLGIRLS brother, joey School
field, his nephew, William School
field, and his two cousins, DR.. j. B.
NcMaster and Samuel McMaster,
were named as Executors. To each
he bequeathed the sum of five thous-
and dollars. The will was given to
his brother, Joey Schoolfield, for safe
keeping. He, upon his return home,
placed it in a bureau drawer in his
bed chamber, among other private
papers. Every member of his house
hold had ready access to the bed
room and also the bureau drawer, as
it was never locked.
In less than four months after max
ing his will, Mr.. Schoolfield died. At
ter the funeral, the family and Exc
cutors assembled in the parlor of the
Joey Schoolfield's home to hear the
will read. When the envelope was
opened, instead of the will, it contain
ed only a blank sheet of paper. The
next hour was painful one to all
present. Lish was accused of steal
ing the will or getting one of the Bos-
ton boys to make away with it.
At a meeting of the executors the
next day, it was decided to employ
council and to institute proceeding to
establish the existence and validity of
the will by witness.
George M. Purnell and George M.
Upshur, young lawyers, both able
members of the Worcester Bar, were
engaged. On the advice of friends,
Lish went to Drummondtown, now
known as Accomack Court House, and
employed the service of the great
lawyer, Henry A. Wise.

They were black as midnight and
looked like Goals of fire in a mask.
When he spoke, they lighted up and
glowed with live flame He was as
sisted to his room, number seventeen,
adjoining the parlor. He seemed eX-
hausted by his trip and went to bed
for a couple of hours rest before sup
per. His cough was still very trouble
some. My father led me to the bed
and said: Governor, this is my son.
l have appointed him your attendant
for the afternoon. He will get you
anything you desire"
Governor Wise put his hand on my
head and called me fine lad. 1t made
me very proud to attend and asso-
ciate with so famous a man, even for
a short time. After my father left the
room, Mr.. Wise called me to the bed
and requested that l go down to the
bar and get him two lemons. Upon
my return, l found him propped up in
bed. Next he sent me to the dining
room for a saucer of salt. Getting out
a penknife, he sliced the lemons and
said: "Son, am now going to tell
you something which has cost me over
ten thousand dollars to learn, and
hope you will never forget it. You will
notice l have a severe cough. / have
tried every known specialist in the
East but got no relief. l have found
that lemon and salt is the only rem
edy known so far that will stop a
cough for a short time. 1t cuts out
the phlegm, I spit it out and some
times rest undisturbed for two or
three hours. Don't forget it," The
writer never has.
The only paper published in POGO
moke City was the old Record and
Gazette" which suspended publica-
tion many years ago. Littleton Den
mis- was the editor. Dennis was a live
man for his day and when he learned
that Governor Wise would break his
trip to Snow Hill by stay over at
Pocomoke, he organized committee,
which finally prevailed upon the Gov
ernor to make short address during

Engineer, he mad studied carefully the
tracing and data left by Black and
Jenkins and was convinced that the
South side of the Potomac was the
line, that Watts Island on the Eastern
Shore, and Saxis Island were the
points mentioned in the survey. The
line outlined by Governor Wise would
have given Smiths Island, Crisfield
and the lower part of Somerset Coun-
ty to Virginia.
