Treasurer Hamilton is in a quandry.
Judge Wright has reduced ]. D.
6ketcher's paving association 500.
Meantime, however, the property had
been sold at delinquent tax sale. OF
course the amount paid will have to
be refunded. the buyer and Mr.. Sketch
ley will pay in the amount ordered by
the court. But what Mr.. Hamilton
wants to know is who will have to
stand for the penalty and interest,
which amounts to $4s and which has
already been paid to the buyer Of the
taxes. Judge Wright will probably be
asked for an opinion on the matter.

measure for the good Of the people Of
the State, was on the very brink Of
being removed from his high Office as
President of the Senate an act which
would have brought disgrace upon the
people Of Maryland, a proceeding in
which Hon. Blair Lee, as a member of
the Senate, threatened and instituted,
and only relented upon Mr.. German $
promise to 'be good.
The people of Maryland including the
loyal followers and supporters Of Sena-
tor Lee, know that this is the same Cor
man who bitterly, aye, vlciously, fought
and opposed every proposition that came
up in the last Legislature which he now
pledges himself to advocate and sup
port, with an enthusiasm born Of de-
sire to perpetuate ring rule in Maryland
as we'll as in Baltimore City through the
medium of Mahon and the bosses by his
election as Governor; and under these
circumstances, whatever may have been
their friendship for Senator Lee, they
will not allow that gentleman to stultify
them and the principles for which they
fought together by meekly submitting
to the dictation Of Sonny Mahon, and
toss their caps high in air at every sound
and mention of his name.
1t is hard to conceive that man of
Blair Lees positive opinions and indie
pendent action would so readily cast his
principles and policies aside by support
ing Mr., German under all the circum-
stances but even if such disappoint-
ment should come to pass, his admirable
leadership is not potent enough to force
his thousands of followers amongst the
sturdy yeomanry of Maryland 70 so far
forget themselves and the reforms for
which they stand-to forget their duty
to their State and to themselves.

POWER IN THE HOME.
The Many Kinds of Housework Elec
tricity viii Do.

"Why do we need power in the homer
the average man will ask. We need il for
the same reason that We have grown 10
need the other essential comforts that
tighten labor and make our home life fuller
Of convenience and satisfaction
Our mothers and fathers and we our
selves have looked on homework as the
realm OF the wrist and elbow. You do
homework with your good right arm, with
a broom. or cloth, or a knife or the turn
ing of crank. But modern electricity
has developed a system OF motor-driven
appliances that offers relief from a large
part of this slow manual labor and frees
good hours Of the day for rest and reerea
ton.
Take the process of sweeping and dust
ing for instance, where the broom and dust
cloth prevail. This means that someone
must 90 over the entire house once OF
twice a week, taking out the dirt, stirring
up the dust, waiting for it TO settle and
wiping il up again. In some rooms we
sweep daily. Electricity offers the vacuum
cleaner. You simply move the machine
from one room to the other, attach it to
any lamp socket and in one operation re-
move and extract every particle OF dirt
and dust from carpet, rugs, draperles up
holstercd furniture and clothing. No dust,
no dirt to carry out, and absolute ceanli-
ness without the drudgery

Another big weekly job in the kitchen
Is the silver cleaning, especially in winter
when the furnace is going. 1t means Just
so many hours rubbing with cloth, unless
you invoke the aid OF electricity and use
little buifing motor Then you simply
hold the silver against the iast-spinning
wheel OF cloth and the work is done. 1t
is Just as much an improvement for polish
ing door knobs and other brass work, for
the labor is banished and there is no mark
of the cleaning paste on the woodwork, as
is SO often the case.
In the laundry the washing machine re-
duces the full Mondays work to couple
of hours activity OF the washing machine,
and the finest fabrics are washed and
wrung without danger of wear on tear, and
practically without labor.
But the applications of electric power
are not restricted to the kitchen by any
MEANS for the sewing machine motor Is
worth everything to the woman who makes
her own clothes. Pressure on the treadle
starts and stops the machine at will. Then
there is the vibrator, the greatest of com
forts for the relief of weary backs, and the
electric fan And the fan is not only de-
signed for use in superhot weather, but
for drying the hair and coaxng more warm
air from the registers or radiators during
cold snaps.
Electric power in the home is simply
another word for more comfort, more con
venience, more satisfaction, less hard work
and more hours of freedom The house
is not wired for lights alone, but for every
opportunity which the wonders of elec-
tricity can offer.

ing in the angle. II color is preferred,
it should be delicate, as pink, violet, or a
warm green. One lovely room in two
toned gray block design in satin finish
has narrow floral border of wistaria in
two tones OF purple and delicate green
foliage The hangngs for such a wall could
be in mauye, with touches OF deeper purple

purple, green and mauye.
A iavorite paper for girls room Is a
dove gray with panel effects in pink, tur-

Another paper ion bedrooms is a lattice
design in delicate flowers on n cream or
gray wall. Sometimes these papers are self.
toned, as a soft canary-colored background
with a lattice OF yellow moss roses with
brownish green foliage; again, a gray, tan
or cream wall is striped with narrow lines
made up OF tiny flowers in natural eolors,
or there are stiff little lunches of flowers
or small medallions with a single bud on
the inside.
Most OF the new papers are dainty,
rather than bold, in design. II the wall
tone is delicate in coloring, the hanglngs
are a deeper tone in the same shade or IN
sharp contrast A heavy paper requires
light treatment in hangings and furniture

Fabric papers, in two-toned effects are

PETROL MADE HIM
 DRUNK SAYS DRIVER

London, May 27.-(Special)-A chauffeur
 named Charles Rice, who was accused of being intoxicated while in charge of
 motor car, pleaded that petrol fumes and
 not whisky were responsible for his con dition.
 It was alleged that while he was driving along Herrow road at speed of 23 miles an hour his motor car came into collision with handsom. The cab driver was thrown from his seat, and turning som ersault fell on his back, but Rice drove on for a third of a mile before he was stopped.
 q only had two glasses of whisky" said Rice, and what the policemen thought were the effects of alcohol were due to
 the fumes from the petrol. Just before
 the accident I had to blow some of the tubes, and I inhaled the fumes Mir P. Levin, managing director of
 Friswelrs limited, large taxicab con cern, said Rice was a sober man, and corroborated his statement regarding the effects of the fumes.
 They make you glddy," he declared,
 "and give you the appearance of being intoxicated. I have often suffered from them and have to sit down until the ef- fects pass off. You can be overpowered by them"

The meet ing was made historic by the breaking of five intercollegiate records and the equalling of three others. One of the new marks, that for the mile run, made by J.
