Opposed to Comic Newspaper Supple
ments.-The Highlandtown Sentinel of last
week said Misses Abercromoie, Taylor and
Trotten, teachers in the Highlandtown and
Canton kindergartens, have returned from at
tending the meeting of the International Kin
dergarten Union, held at Buffalo, N. T., last
week They were allowed weeks vacation
by the School Board to attend this session,
which is regarded by educators throughout the
fetal yet held. Among the matters discussed
was the comic supplement of the average Sun
upon childish minds. The Union came out
strong against these in the following resolution
Recognizing the so called comic supple
ment of some Sunday papers as presenting low
ideals of child and home life, of conduct and OF
humor and as exerting an absolutely PERM
cious influence upon the child mind, the Inter
national kindergarten Union asks, through its
literature committee the cooperation of kim
dergartners, teachers and parents, as well as
mothers and women's clubs, and all organiza'
tions whose aim is home and civic betterment,
to unite in concerted effort to substitute for
the present supplement sheet OF higher
standard"

Don't Fight the Weather.-What a great
misfortune this is the habit of considering the
weather-of thinking that we must consider
the weather! 1t is largely due, is it not, to
clothes No mention is made of rain in the
Garden of Eden, but we must not therefore
contend that rain was disagreeable and omit
ted. We must recollect that Adam and Eve
did not need to consider rain. Furthermore,
in blessed ignorance they did not know that it
was anything to be considered.
To mind the rain no more than the May
sunshine, but to plunge into it and let the
drops pelt as they will to accept snow with
out thought of discomfort, but, rather, to
enjoy the thronging presence of it; to pursue
ones daily stunt regardless of whether the sky
be dim or blue-this is state which we long
have lost.
All the centuries of fussing and Tuning with
the weather have not affected the weather one
particle. 1t still rains and SHOWS and sleets
and blows, just as dictated by circumstances.
Therefore what's the useP Are your puny
diatribes or mine of any greater potency than
those of others gone before? Evidently not.
Accordingly, try the plan of being friendly
with the weather, of agreeing with it instead
of fighting it, and, pom my word presently ii
will be agreeing with you.

Canton, 18th District.-Mr. Robert Ompte
da died at his home, 3210 Fait avenue, on Mon
day, May 10th, aged SO years. He is survived
by widow and four daughters, two of whom
are married. Much sympathy is expressed fol
Mrs. Ompteda, as her husbands was the sixth
death in her immediate family within eight
years-four daughters, her only son and her
husband: Three of her grown daughters died
oftyphoid fever, and another daughter, about
years of age) while playing about bonfire
her clothing took fire and she was burned so
badly as to cause her death. About 10 months
ago her only son, who was employed as brake
man on railroad, accidentally fell from a car
and had an arm and leg severed from his body,
causing his death.
The Social and Literary Department of the
Epworth League of Canton M. E. Church gave
an entertainment on Friday night of last week
which partook of the nature of a debate, when
the old question, the right of women to VOTE
was threshed out by six contestants while the
fair ones in the audience listened as though
they didn't care much whether the right of
suffrage was granted them or not. The cham
pions of feminine voting were Messrs. Francis
R. Rugemer, Marion G. Dinsmore and George
w. Williams, and those who argued against
them were DR.. r. E. Armstrong and Messrs.
Alfred Benson and Edward Parker. The argu-
ments throughout seemed listless and were
only applauded when somebody said some
thing clever, no matter on which side. When
one of the orators in his rebuttal, asserted that
because women did not vote the children on
the streets did not know the names of the Presi.
dents of the United States, he was Kissed, not
withstanding the fact he was defending op-
pressed womanhood. The Judges, Dr. Herbert
Schoenrich and Messrs @. w. Smith and Geo.
II. Garrett, gave decision in favor of the anti
suffragists.

How 1t is Viewed from the Outside.-ln
its political news the Baltimore american OF
Sunday said: ut was not surprising that the
Baltimore County Democratic Committee de-
cided last week to employ the direct system of
voting. Congressman j. Fred. c. Talbot, who
is the dominating force in his party in the
county, had two objects in view in preferring
the direct system. He wants to see real trial
of strength among his friends, for all of the
candidates who will line up in the primaries
ore his friends He is anxious to have before
him the figures demonstrating the. exact
strength of each in their general districts, as
we'll as in the county at large. He will be
hands offin the fight. Then, too, heis anxious
to ward off criticism on the part of disappointed
candidates, who, if the old plan were in use,
might complain that he gave them the
Knockout blow. There are anti-Talbott
Democrats in the county who have target at
which they could shoot if the old system OF
voting were employed"

How to Load Wagon.-An authority on
this subject says; 1T is generally believed
that the load pulls easier If put well forward
on the wagon. But this is not so on the ordi-
nary wagon, where the hind wheels are larger
than the front ones. Should the wheels be
equal in size, the load should be equally dis
tributed. If the trucks are so low down that
the horses have an upward pull on the load,
then it would be all right to put the load well
forward. The load should be proportional to
the surface contact of the wheels. large
wheel sinks less than small one; therefore,
the load should be heaviest on the hind wheels.
Distribute the weight so that no one wheel or
no one side is carrying the greater share, lest
it make the draft excessive for the tonnage
carried

Lively Contention Over the Widening OF
an Avenue.-On Thursday large delegation
of residents of Roland Park and vicinity pre-
senteda petition to the Highways Commission
in favor of the extension of the new Merryman
Lane Roland avenue Boulevard from Beach
dale road to Lake avenue, which will involve
the relocation of portion of Roland avenue.
DIR. R. L. Dohme presented the petition and
said that be favored the extension because it
would greatly beautify Roland avenue and give
an impetus to suburban development north of
Baltimore, and the speaker declared that the
boulevard extension would eventually extend
as far north as Cockeysville
Mr.. E. H. Bouton, president of the Roland
Park Company, said that the extension of the
boulevard would not only add to the develop.
ment of the neighborhood but is actually de-
manded by public convenience. Messrs. Will
liam B. Fallon and Walter ]. King also spoke
warmly in favor of the project.
Attorney William G. Armstrong presented
protest against the granting of the petition and
said that Roland avenue was now go feet wide,
which is all that is necessary for all purposes,
and claimed that the widening of the avenue
to go feet would only benefit the United Rail-
ways, which would get increased area for its
tracks.
Objections were also presented against the
improvement if it would incur any material
change in the grade of the avenue.
The members of the Commission said they
would give the matter due attention and would
themselves view Roland avenue before render
ing their decision.

Road Work to be Pushed by the State
Commission.-Roads in Baltimore city will
be among the first to be directly benefited by
the SIS, DOC, 900 appropriation BODYBUILDING State
roads, according to statement made on Mon
day by Mr.. John M. Tucker, chairman of the
State Roads Commission. Plans for the first
work on the roads include the Hartford, Belair
and Falls roads, the first two named from
North avenue to the city limits and the latter
from Thirty-fourth street to the county line.
1t is the intention of the Commission to have
these roads finished by the end of the year.
Along with the improvement OF the roads in
the city proper Improvements in Baltimore
county on those roads will also be among the
first to be made which will add considerably to
the improvement which will directly benefit
Baltimore. On the Hartford road g. 10 miles
will be built in Baltimore county, on theBelair
road Ito miles, on the Philadelphia road
2 Ito miles, on the Westport road 9 10 miles
and on the Falls road 6 10 miles. The reason
for the fractions in the distance is because they
are planned to go to certain point at this time
and to be continued later.
Realizing that there will be much heavy
hauling on the roads running into and out OF
the city the Commission expects to make them
the finest in the country. While the money
will not be wasted, no expense will be spared
to make the roads the best and to make them
of such q character that they can be kept up at
comparatively small COST
The first work to be done in Baltimore coun-
ty will consist of about IA miles where the
Commission has decided the roads are mostly
needed. Outside of the city of Baltimore 1877
miles will be improved during the coming
year. With the exception of Baltimore county,
which gets IA miles, each county will have
from six to eight miles of improved roads
started in short time.
