End of the Dog Days.-The calendar dog
day period, says an exchange, eliminated on
Tuesday, Aug. 18th, and from that date until
next grounding day, on February I'd, the sur
face of the earth as a whole will be losing its
summer temperature. Various causes have
been assigned for this result during the past,
the principal being that the July and August
heated term is attributable to the appearance
of the large star Sirius, which happens to be
located in the constellation of the dog" and
hence is called the dog star, and thus the
period during which it is visible is termed
the dog days.
Besides the fact of heat accumulation which
applies to the earth as globe revolving around
the sun there are many smaller causes which
affect the weather varously in different lOcali-
ties. These afford the weather man" his
principal opportunity for representation,
which is now carried on according to purely
scientific methods in use all over the world.
However, these predictions are only expected
to cover period of AZ hours Of future weather,
and the same science which makes the weather
prophets reasonably sure of the next 48 hours
forbids their peering farther into the future or
making predictions without scientific basis,
gathered from current weather observations.
Should Have a High School by All
Means.-Residents of Sparrow's Point are anx-
ious to have high school established at that
place. Some encouragement is felt that this

ago the School Board decided that higher
grade should be established in that school. It
has $4,000 building, Kindergarten, manual
training and cooking departments. Mr.. r. K.
Wood, general manager of the Maryland Steel
Company, has always taken warm interest in
the welfare of the school, of which Mr.. Joseph
Blair is the principal.

by his equities in the various securities pledged

ted in various enterprises, most of which were

cations he decided to go into bankruptcy in
order that his property might be distributed
among his creditors without preference Mr..
Kearney has been in the employ of the Canton
Company practically all his life. The pro-
ceedings, however, relate only to his indivi-
dual affairs and in no way interest or concern
the Company with which be is connected"

This Company Makes Another Good
Move.-We have received letter from Mr..
Charles M. Cohn, secretary of the Consolidated
Gas, Electric Light and Power Company of
Baltimore, in which he says:
''This company has made further extension
of its pay station system by arranging with the
Suburban Trust and Building Company for the
acceptance, at its banking office on the York
road of bills of this company rendered on or be-
fore the last discount day. The purpose of this
arrangement on the part of this company is to
save its patrons at Govanstown monthly trip
to the center of the city. The pay-station, re-
Gently established at the Towson National Bank.
has proven so popular it suggested to the man
agement the advisability of extending the sys-
tenn to GOvanstOwn.
"The officials of the Suburban Trust and Build
ing Company were very anxious to aid us in
accommodating the people and the plan of hand
ling the matter was quickly worked out by its
representative. Mr.. Michael P. Kehoe, its gen.
eral counsel, represented the Suburban Trust
and Building Company.
although the pay-station system involves an
extra expenditure by this company, it is in line
with the general policy of the company to extend
its usefulness to the people,"
