The Superintendent, among other things,
recommended that a Graded Grammar
School be established In the fifth district, In
which district there is at present no school,
this being the only district in the county
without one or more Grammar Schools.
The need of heating plant at Gathers.
burg High School was also called to the
attention of the Board There are at pre-.
sent six stoves in this school, and the
amount saved In fuel would, in few years,
pay for the improvement.
A belfry to be erected at moderate cost
was recommended for the protection OF a
valuable bell at the Sandy Spring school.
The bell is now lying on the ground, ex-
posed to the weather.
Il was recommended and earnestly urged
by the Superintendent that Primary Su.
pervisor, whose duty should be the instruc.
ton of the teachers Of the first, second and
third grades in approved methods of pri-
mary instruction, be appointed. In num-
Der OF the leading counties in this State the
plan has been adopted with very profitable
results. After considerable discussion, the
matter was deferred.
The advisabilitY Of establishing teach
ers' training course in conjunction with the
accredited High School of the county 30
that the graduates Of the High Schools, de-
string TO teach, may have the proper equip
ment of a teacher was also discussed; but,
inasmuch as this is provided for in the edu-
cational bill now pending before the legls-
lature, for each county in the State, no &C
ton was taken in the matter.
The Board passed number.of bills and
adjourned to meet at the call OF the Secre-
tary.

A New Bank.

The Kensington Bank, q branch of the
Trainers Banking and Trust Company, Of
this town, was opened on Saturday Febru-
airy Goth, under most favorable auspices.
The fourishing town of Kensington seem.
ed to offer field for an enterprise Of this
kind, and the spirit with which its citizens
entered into it gives every assurance of sue.
cess. II is believed that the town and the
bank will be of mutual assistance to each
other, and the latter will offer TO wide
scope of surrounding country the facilities
Of home banking institution.
The branch, subject to the supervision of
the Board of Directors of the parent com.
pany, Is under the control of local executive
committee composed OF DR.. Eugene Jon es I,
DR.. William l.. Lewis, Mr.. Alfred G. War.
then, Mr.. Walter A. johnson and Mr..
Frank L. Hewitt, and Mr.. ]. Floyd Cissel,
young man of good business training and
enterprise, is the Cashier and Manager.
A very tasteful and comfortable bank
building has been erected upon land belong
ing 10 Mr.. Brainard Fl. Warner. 1t is 10.
Gated upon the main street, opposite the
town plaza, near the railroad station and the
terminus of the electric railway, and in ad-
dition to the banking room, the managers
have fitted up room which they tender to
the public for the transaction of business.
The equipment of the bank Is modern and
frat class, and those in charge of its affairs
feel that they are entitled to the confidence of
the community whose interests thew are sesk-

Inferior Material Placed Upon and
Official Inattention Given to
Some State.Aid Roads in
this County.

Mr.. Editor The following is an extract
from a paper read by me at the Farmers Con.
ventiou held at Sandy Spring, February IL,
1908:
The counties, though paying one-half the
cost of construction, under the Shoemaker
law have no voice, and no one whose duty it
is to consider the county's interest, when by
such consideration those interests may be
subserved.
That there are times when such considers
ton is due, and the close contact with State
aided work of an efficient engineer, having
knowledge of local conditions, should be
had, the following statement of facts will
show:
Concerning the method of administering
and the measure of supervision given road
construction under the Shoemaker law by
the Highway Division, as illustrated in the
building of two sections, State-aided roads,
on the Laytonsville road:
Mr., James NJ. Mount, the contractor, is
young man of high standing and character,
aud this was his first venture In tnat dlrec-
ton. The quarry from which tine ROAD was
built, owned by Mr.. Mount, is located three
and one-fourth miles from the second secuon
Of that construction. Occasionally the rock
contained in quarry will change It's char
acteristics, the valuable rock showing on
the surface giving way to one Of little value
further in, as was the case in this quarry.
Within half mile Of the second section, on
the Williams and Case properties, Is stone
of much higher value and in position to be
quarried 40 per cent. cheaper than the Mount
quarry, besides being Il miles nearer to the
work.

THE SAME EVERYWHERE.
The Ovation to Bryan in the House of
Representatives.

Describing the opening of Congress
the Washington correspondent for the
Chicago RecOrd-Herdld says: Crowds
of men and women who in their way
represent the citizenship. the chivalry
and the fashion of the country at the
national capital thronged the Senate
and House galleries to witness the In
auguration of a new Congress. Hun
dreds who came late packed the gal
lery corridors and waited with varying
degrees of patience for the ticket-hOld-
ers and early birds to become bored
and depart so as to give them chance
near the finish to say that they had
seen and heard something of the cur
tain-raiser to the winters session. The
star figure in the stage setting was a
rank outsider insofar as the personnel
of Congress is concerned, but one who
is far from being n nOn-combatant in
the politics that underlie the present
situation. w. ]. Bryan of Nebraska 1t
was An actor without a set part, he
walked upon the floor OF the House fiji
teen minutes before the gavel fell,
evoking full five minutes of cheers,
handclapping and yells from his party
colleagues there gathered. and equally
tumultuous enthusiasm among his ad-
mirers in the galleries. Bryan. the
foreordained candidate for the Presi-
dency on the Democratic ticket. was
not there merely for show. For three
hours he was the busiest parsonage in
sight"

Carvino.

Hacked meats are an abOmination,
taking away the reflnements of the
table, and bunting the edge of the
appetite, but not every man knows
how to carve even tolerably. A
knowledge. theoretical and practical,
Of how to carve the different meats is
as much necessity to the man Of
the family as is a knowledge Of how
to properly serve the meals on the
part of the housewife. The carving
set should be Of good steel, and kept
for carving only. The knife should
not be used for the services required
Of a butcher-knife. but should be kept
always bright and sharp. and the steel
for sharpening should be kept for this
purpose only. The fork must be held
in the left hand. and stuck into the
meat SO firmly that 1t will be held se-
curely on the platter. The knife should
be SO sharp that no force is required
to pass it through the meat, which
should be shaved OF in thin slices,
across the grain. in order that 1t may
be separated for eating without diff
Guilty. A good carver should sit while
carving, but in order to make a fine
art" of 1t, much practice and a strong
self-confidence is necessary. Much poor
carving is the result of embarrassment.
Proficiency comes only from the educa-
tion Of the eye and hand through prac-
tice. Boys might well try their hand
at the work at the home table.

Bread for Horses.

Bread. once the staple food Of horses
In England. Is still used In some parts
of Europe, says the London Lipe Stock
Journal. Veterinary Colonel Num-, re.
marking on the condition Of mare be.
hind which he was travelling in Switz.
erland, was told by the driver that her
condition was due to the ration of
bread which. he said, was given to all
working horses in the Engadine. This
bread is made in long loaves. the usual
foreign shape. from third-class rye
-four. They are baked as hard as a
|brick and are perfectly dry, the people
holding that dry bread Is more digest
ible and also keeps longer. The coach
men give their horses one pound of
bread in the morning and a feed of
bread when halting to bait; hay and
oats are given as well. Two pounds of
this rye bread is considered equal to
about three pounds of oats. but the
bread is more expensive than oats.

He Did Not Call.

The gasoline runabout stopped and
refused to bulge. In 1t was a good
looking young woman. She pushed
levers and turned wheels, but the ma
chine remained still. A well-dressed
young man, quite we'll known In Den
yer society. came along. He knew very
little about autos but the girls look
attracted him. Here's a chance" he
thought, ito work little blum and

Raising his hat he asked II he might
not try to help her out of her predica-
ment. To be sure he might. So he
went to work. He looked in the ma
chine and then he talked to the girl
Next he looked under 1t and then he
had a little talk with the girl. He
managed to kill ten minutes and in
cidentally becoming acquainted with
the girl. Finally he took hold of a
crank and gave 1t twist. The en-
gine began to pun and the machine was
In readiness to start.
"Oh. thank you very much" said the
girl.
1T was pleasure to assist you,
assure you." he replied. Then he grew
grave. May / ask your name?" he
said.
She smiled and told him. He gave
her his card. Come and see ME some
time soon." she said.

ply. Where do you live?"
She gave him her number. "IIl be
up tomorrow evening IL you don't
mind" he said.
"All right" was her reply. She start
ed the machine and then stopped it
again. would you mind coming
around to the back door when you
call?" she asked.
He was surprised. "What-the back
loo,? ?" he said, looking puzzled.
YES" she replied. I'm the second
maid up there"
He smiled sickly smile. and moved
away, hurriedly. No. he didn't keep
the engagement.

Moth a Hypnotist.

Did you ever know. said the hypno
tist as he played with curious glitter
ing hypnotizing machine of crystal and

We'll, it is a fact. A queen bee can
hypnotic her whole hive whenever she
wants to. She makes a curious hum
ming sound. and within a moment OF
two every bee in the colony falls into
"a hypnotic trance.
The deaths head hawk moth is also
a hypnotist of great power. This crea

Preacher Becomes Personal.

The Rev. Nathaniel Howe of Hop
kinton, who died in 1887, aged seventy
two, was Federalist in politics. and
his political sermons stirred the wrath
of his hearers, who were mostly
Democrats. In the midst Of one OF
these sermons the leader Of the op'
posite party felt aggrieved, and called
out:
why don't you call names. Mr..
Hover"
II do not wish to be interrupted u
said the parson. solemnly, and went on
In little while the voice came more
angrily than before: Why don't you
call names, Mr.. Hover"
There is no need of it while con.
science is doing its work so WELL" was
the quiet response.

EDIsoN's CONCRETE HOUSE.
viii Undoubtedly Become the House
of the Future


The kind of concrete house" which
Edison proposes to erect for $1,000 is
not. as many may imagine, a cheap
looking box-like affair, says the st.
Paul Pioneer Press. On the contrary,
as shown by a sample design printed
in the Pioneer Press some days ago. it
may sc an architectural gem in any
one OF a variety of styles. The design
| referred to represents a handsome two
story-and-attic structure. with bay
fwindews. an arched corner-porch, walls
panelsd and pilastered, highly orna-
mental cornice and n roof presenting
an appearance similar to that secured
on some of our finest residences by the
use of corrugated tile Since il is Just
as easy to cast concrete in ornamental
as in plain designs. once the initial ex-
pense of the molds has been met, the
cost of highly ornamental structure
need not exceed that of a plain one.
Nor is ornament essential to beauty.
On the contrary. some of the most
charming, Of residences are those sal-
most devoid of ornament
In addition to the adaptability to
beautiful architectural effects, concrete
construction is imperishable, fireproof
and sanitary. Mr.. Edison. in an inter-
view, is quoted as viewing the inven-
tiOn as something which will go far to
Obliterate the existing differences In
the housing of the rich and poor, so
far as comfort and healthfulness are
concerned, and thus rob Socialism and
DemagOgy of some Of their favorite
arguments.

Facts About thu Ocean.

The oceans occupy three-fourths of
the surface of the earth. A mile down
in the sea the water has pressure
of ton to every square inch. IL a
box 6 feet deep was filled with sea
water, which was then allowed to evap-
crate. there would be two inches Of
salt left in the bottom OF the box. TAX.
ing the average depth of the ocean to
be three miles, there would be layer
of salt 40 feet thick covering the bot.

crate. In many places, especially in
the far north, the water freezes from
the bottom upward.-"TitBi Bits"
