Yourselves
By PhiIib II. Love.

The trouble with vacations Is
that they end too quickly. As every
student knows, school Is no sooner
out than it's In again-or so it
seems, at any rate. When school
closes the summer months ahead
look like long time. But when
fall rolls round and the schoolbell
rings again, the holiday, IL it has
been a good one, seems as short as
q summer haircut.
Well, that's the way my vacation
has seemed-which is to say 1t has
been good one. I went where I
wanted to 60 and did all the things
I wanted to do. I went to bed when
I was tired, got up when was rest
ed, ate when ] was hungry, swan
when wanted to swim (and as
much or as little as I wished, went
fishing and grabbing when it
pleased me to go, read, wrote,
loafed-in short, did whatever I
wanted to do whenever wanted to
do it. And, for once, got my fill
OF Southern Maryland fried chicken
and country ham.
Southern Maryland has changed
great deal since I was a boy. but
not its fried chicken and home
cured ham. And so long as those
eighth and ninth wonders of the
world remain, Southern MARYLAND.
regardless Of other changes, will be
the same as 1t has always been. It
will, that Is, to all who are as fond
OF Southern Maryland fried chicken
and country ham as 1 am.
Southern Maryland or, more
specifically, st. Marys County-has
been my favorite vacation spot for
as long as can remember. I lived
there for a while, when I was
about 4 years old, at wide spot in
the road called Loveville. And
since then there hasn't been a sum-
mer that I haven't gone back-not
to Loveville, which is too far from
salt water to suit me, but to some
place on either the Potomac or the
Patuxent River.
The ideal spot. to my mind, is a
farm on cove of st. George
Greek, a tributary of the Potomac.
I've spent all my vacations there
since 1930-in other words, IA of
them. And, despite all the other
changes, the fried chicken and the
country ham have remained the
same.
When spent my first vacation
in st. Marys the roads were un-
paved and automobiles were a curl
oslty. Every trip my family made
the car got stuck in either mud or
sand and my father had to hire
team of horses or mules-and
sometimes even oxen-to pull us out.
And whenever We met a buggy on
the road the farmer had to get out
and hold his horse to keep it from
running away.
My cousin Mace was one of the
first farmers in st. Marys to buv
an automobile. And the first time
he had a blowout he thought some
BODY was shooting at him and
raced for Leonardtown, the county
seat. as fast as the car would 70.
| Now most st. Marys roads are
either paved or graveled and nearly
every family has an automobile.
Horses are disappearing and oxen
are in the same class as the dodo
bird-extinct. But there's still fried
chicken and country ham and so
long as that is true st. Marys will
remain st. Marys.

On account of the tire and gaso-
line shortages. we were unable to 90
up to my uncle's farm in Pennsyl-
vania last summer. In the fall, when
my uncle went to the farm, which
is vacant, he found the kitchen full
of bees.
They were coming out of a stove
pipe hole in the chimney. He put
his hand in the chimney, and there
was honey. He got stung quite bad
ly on the arms. but he got plenty Of
honey to last for the winter.

Washingtonians who yearn for
New England's rocky seacoast and
picturesque fishing villages but who
do not expect to go North this sum-
mer can catch at least glimpse of
them in the one-man show of
paintings by George G. Adomeit on
view until Friday at the art de-
partment of Catholic University.
Mr.. Adomeit is one of Cleveland s
outstanding painters of the con-
servative school and has the further
distinction of being a prophet"
greatly honored in his own city. He
has received 20 or more awards at
annual exhibitions at the Cleve-
land Museum of Art. He is also rep
resented in its permanent collection.
He is a member of the Cleveland
Society of Artists, the American In
stitute of Graphic Arts and the
Cleveland Print Club.
He was born in Memel, Germany,
in 1879 but came to this country at
the age of 3. At IL he graduated
from grammar school and went to
work. When only 16 he was so
good a draughtsman that he was
given an opportunity in a litho-
graphic plant. Seven years later,
with an associate he organized the
Caxton Engraving Co. and has long
been It's art director. Now more
than 40 years old, it is regarded as
one of Cleveland's foremost engrav-
ing and publishing houses.
Mr.. Adomeit is among the COM
paratively few people who have
achieved professional success in &C
tivities they have engaged in as avo-
cations. But even though he had
only spare time to devote to paint
ing in his early days, he gave it
serious attention. studying under
Frederick c. Gottwald in Cleveland,
ar older artist highly regarded
there. Mr.. Adomeit attended eve
ming classes and also devoted sum-
mer vacations to painting So it is
not surprising that in addition to
the honors that have come to him
his work has been exhibited in some
of the country's foremost art gal
leries, including the Corcoran.
The exhibition at Catholic Uni
versity is composed of 13 oil paint
ings of seacoast towns and ma
rines off the Maine coast. They are
simplified but undistorted, done in
fresh, toneful colors lavishly ap-
piled. The artists good sense OF
design is most apparent in the
scenes, which include buildings. He
is also noted for his effective han
ding of industrial subjects, al
though none are included in the
present show.
Brasil, Old and Ney.
Three Centuries of Brazilian
Architecture" is the title of an exhi-
bition of about so photographs now
on view in the foyer of Mullen Lii
brary at Catholic University. Ar
ranged by Manoel Cardozo, director
of Lima Library. through the cour-
tesy of DR.. Robert c. Smith and the
Archive of Hispanic Culture of the
Library of Congress, it is the first
large exhibition of this material and
remains only until August 10.
Few North Americans probably
realize how old Brazil is, and how
many beautiful and historic build.

The American Legion is an or

Gov. Bricker knows that the
thing uppermost in the mind of any
returning war veteran is his prospect
for reinstatement in civilian life, his
chance for productive and profit
able job in the peaceful life to which
he returns.
Gov. Bricker knows, moreover,
that this is the thing which must be
uppermost in the minds of all the
American people.
So Gov. Bricker talked to the
Legion in TERMS of jobs.
THERE will only BE the kind of

there was before the war, if there is

IN OTHER words, he warned,

But that is not method in which
the New Deal administration has any

to her bosom the oppressed of all

We have followed with intense
interest and growing feeling of
pride and gratitude the consistent,
splendid editorial fight you have
been making for the SUCCORING
AND PROTECTION of the smaller
peoples of the small nations, in the
great struggle now convulsing the
world.
Of special interest and espe-
cially rousing our gratitude have
been your editorials calling in no
measured terms for justice for Po-
land, perhaps the most raVished of
all the peoples suffering in this
titanic world catastrophe.
Your editorial Heroic Poland"
is magnificent in its strength and its
plain speaking. For it we and count
less others of our race thank you
and say God bless you"
When so much of the press
today is strangely indifferent to the
real problems of genuine democracy
it is a splendid thing for America to
have you and Your organs coura-

enough to speak out with the fine
voice of truth and justice.
We are certain that our senti.
ments are echoed by the many other
federated groups through America

American loyalty.
That you have OUR SUPPORT
and THEIRS TOO in fullest meas

ton that you are using the power
of the press as it should be used in
Amemca-to fight for the fullest
realization Of AMERICAN IDEALS
and to bring to all nations the finest
example of AMERICAN FAIR
PLAY.
In conclusion may we with sim
cerest gratitude say we pray God to
spare YOU for years to come to con-
tinue in our midst the fine role of

With sincerest wishes for your
good health and renewed thanks on

Polish Groups Commend
Hearst Newspapers
POLISH AMERICAN CONGRESS


Chicago, Sept. 6, 1914
Mr.. William Randolph Hearst,
Hearst Newspapers,
Wyntoon, McCloud, Cal.
Dear Mr.. Hearst:
THIS shall convey to you the APP
4 probation of the Polish American
Congress for the wonderful manner
in which your publications marked
the fifth anniversary of the brutal
Nazi attack upon Poland.
1t was gratifying to notice the
comments, editorials, news, cartoons
and pictures which the pictorial
review and other sections of your
papers carried during the past few
days.
They couered the subject thor
ought, and thoughtfuliy called at
tention to the PLIGHT OF THE
POLISH PEOPLE in an hour Which
is nonetheless dark eUen though pic
tory approaches.
Your correspondents no doubt
know with what HOPE AND
TRUST the peoples of Poland look
towards Our America.
Your editors have reflected the
feelings Of those unfortunate people
in their writings and through the
medium of their cartoons.
Their efforts in behalf Of the
Polish nation find keen apprecia-
ton in the hearts of all Polish
Americans and certainly they pro-
vide the added inspiration that the
oft downtrodden Poles need them
selves.
need not add that what is seen
and read in American newspapers
soon finds it echoes and often gains
its way into the press OF the POLISH
UNDERGROUND and is told oUer
the Polish air WaUes.
For all that the Hears. papers
have done to commemorate this
anniversary on Sept. 1 and 3, We
express our most profound appre-
citation and our very cordial thanks.
Respectfully yours,
