Want Baltimore County's Delegation at
Annapolis Increased.-A letter from AnDap-
oils, dated February Sd, says: 1T developed
tonight that when the bill providing for an
amendment to the Constitution increasing rep
resentation of Baltimore city in the Legislature
comes up the Baltimore county delegation will
make an effort to amend the measure so as to
increase the representation of the county at the
same time.
1.-The Baltimore county people say they are
strongly in favor of the city having larger
representation, but that Baltimore county's
claims are really urgent. They will en-
deavor to provide for two State Senators and
twelve members of the House of Delegates
from the county instead of the one Senator and
six Delegates it now has. 1t is urged that
Baltimore county has had the same represen-
tation it now has since 1867, and that it can OBJ
tain no more without constitutional amend
ment. The Constitution permits any county
with a population of 5000 to be represented
by six members of the House and one Senator.
Baltimore county now has, it is claimed, q
population of 100, 900, but because of the limi.
tation in the Constitution it has been unable
to gain any greater representation in the Legis-
lature.
1.-The claim is made that an increase for Bal
timore county will not interfere with that of
Baltimore city, but should be granted upon
the same grounds namely, that the representa-
ton of both is entirely inadequate to this pop
uIatiOn and wealth."

Towson Improvement Association.-A
special meeting of this association was held in
the Guild House on Monday night. President
James ]. Lindsay reported that he had called
! on President House. of the United Railways
Company, in regard to putting switch on the
! York road at Towson for the freight cars, and
that Mr.. House wanted the association to get
the consent of the residents of the town. it
was the opinion of those present that as the
railway company owned the York road it was
not necessary to get such consent.
The subject of lower car fare and transfers at
Waverly avenue was discussed, and it was de-
lcided that as the railway company was not in
clined to act the association should take an
aggressive stand and make arrangements to
meet State Senator Biddison and the county
gates with the purpose of getting some legisla-
ton passed to assure fair treatment.
DIR. Harry s. jarrett presented copy of the
proposed sanitary law to the association, and it
was referred to the Legislative committee. Mr..
T. s. Offntt moved that the sanitary and legis-
ilative committees take up the subject of a gen.
eral system of sanitation for Towson, and the
motion was adopted.
MI. II. Grill made motion that the asso-
citation indorse the Anti Saloon local option
bill now before the Legislature. An amend
ment made by Mr.. Offutt to postpone action
until the next meeting, February 18th, when
it will be made special order.

Too Much Warmth, Says Somebody
Discussing the heating of houses someone says
that we Americans ''still live in tight box,
in which square apertures are cut, fitted with
glass and then kept sealed This box in win
ter is kept baking hot. If by any chance
COOL moist current of air enters, the occupant
bowls for more heat and shivers as he draws
bis feverish and parched body nearer to the
steam pipe. If the temperature were run up
to 100 or more, and no moisture were added,
he would continue to shiver and catch cold.
Persistence in such habits often leads to vigor-
Gus cases of pneumonia, neuralgia. insomnia
and other maladies. When the simple but
very important fact is discovered that indoor
air ought to have fair proportion of moisture,
the radical difference between indoors and out
doors will be eliminated and the changes that
now work such havoc will be harmless

Must Stand for Good Roads.-The indif-
ference of good roads is one of the inexplicable
things, says the Baltimore News. Good roads
are a sure solution of the problem of country
life and farm values in Maryland. We can
stand almost any amount of increase of taxa
ton to get system of roads, provided only
that It is honestly and efficiently planned and
executed and that the right kind of mainte-
nance is assured. A few city people are inter
ested in this matter-the automobilists. those
who approach such subjects with public spirit
ed motives, and some Others. But the farm
ers Every landhoder in the counties could
we'll afford to make trip to Annapolis to help
good roads legislation. Maryland lie the exact
spot on the map to get the most profit out OF
this particular form of enterprise. And when
fine vista of industrial progress will open up
for us.
