A Career Is Living.

II has remained for a woman of
about &c years, who arrived in New
York recently on the last stretch OF
a journey around the world, to bring
us about the most stirring message
that has come from a woman's lips
this year Ellen Terry, interviewed
on her arrival, said this to a woman
reporter who prated to her of her
Career"
Lord deliver US from slothful-
nessl A career is just living. Sue
cess does not come from anything
you do, but because of what you are.
l fear slothfulness more than any
thing. 1t creeps upon a woman
stalthily and has her oyerpowered
and bound before she knows it-and
that is the end"
That is indeed the end We don't
know that slothfulness is any more
apt to attack a woman than a man.
but in either case it is deadly. In
either case it means old age, no mat

disease worse than the white plague
or the leprosy or almost any of the
others, because it absolutely robs the
victim of the power of enjoying life,
even while he seems to go on living.

Schools Up To Standard

With few exceptions the Frederick
county schools are showing UP to the
standard required by the County
School Board. For hours the com
missioners yesterday at the regular
monthly meeting of the Board re-
viewed the reports of existing condi-
tions in the schools. They were sub
mitted by Grade Supervisor Harsh
man, who has been visiting schools
for the last several weeks.
The reports are exhaustive. 1t is a
survey of the work of each school,
teacher and pupils. At the end of
the year the commissioners will have
complete record of the conditions
in each school. This survey is being
made SO that the system can be per-
fected. This idea was put into effect
at the beginning of this school term
A Christmas holiday of thirteen
days was voted yesterday. The schools
will close on the evening of Decem-
Der p and will open on the morning
of January 4. On December 23, the
annual meeting of the Frederick
County Teachers Association will be
held in the auditorium of the Girls
High School.
Attendance in the schools of the
county and city is good since the en-
forcement of the compulsory school
attendance law. Attendance Officer S.
L. Rhoads reported that the attend
ance in some of the schools in Fred
erick was between 95 and 100 per
cent.
A committee of the Frederick Civic
Club yesterday urged the adoption of
physical tests in the schools of the
county. Mrs Hammond Urner was
chairman of the committee. Mrs. Ur-
ner said that there was an advanced
case of tuberculosis in the East
Church street school. Several other
children are thought to be feeble
minded.
Those on the committee were: Mrs.
Hammond Urner, Mrs. R. S. ]. Dut-
row, Mrs. Henry Ramsburgh and Mrs.
Joseph H. Apple. No action was tax

The members of the School Board
are thoroughly satisfied with the work
that is being done in the Domestic
Science Department Of the Girls
High School Miss Edith Thomas.
who is in charge of this department at
Hood College, has supervision of this
branch of work in Frederick county

The Charity Ball which was being
planned by the Board of Managers of
the Frederick City Hospital, to be
held some time during the Christmas
holidays. was postponed. at meet
ing of the Board Tuesday afternoon
at the Nurses Home.
This action was taken because it
was feared the ball might not prove
success owing to numerous other at
fractions which will take place dur
ing the holidays. The report of the
hospital showed that during Novem-
Der 10 patients were treated at the
institution. Forty-three were admit

Register of Wills Office Self Sup.
porting.

The Office of the Register of Wills
is on a self-supporting basis. The
ending of the fiscal year, December l.,
shows that all expenses connected
with this Office have been taken care
OF by the receipts. Besides this, from
authentic information, it is reported
that approximately s1,100 or more has
been paid in fees into the State treas
ury. This does not include the
amounts paid in commissions to the
State
Register of Wills Samuel D. Thomas
has repeatedly asked the County Com
missioners to eliminate the appropri-
alton for an index clerk, as this fee
and work could be taken care of in
his Office. Last year he refunded to
the County Commissioners the fee ap-
propriated for this purpose.
Samuel D. Thomas, Register of
Wills, on December /, completed five
years Of his term of Office. One year
remains. From what can be learned
there is hardly doubt but that Mr..
Thomas will again be a candidate for
nomination to this Office at the Dem
ocratic primaries.
Mr.. Thomas has not announced his
candidacy. His friends and support
ers take the question as a matter of
fact and are making preparations to

War And Crime.


OF passing interest, though quite
easy OF comprehension. is the state
ment OF Justice Robert Wallace.
whose position in the city of London
corresponds. TO that OF police court
Justice in an American city, that all
forms of crime in his jurisdiction have
lauen on more than 80 per cent
since the beginning of the war, and
that crimes of violence have fallen off
an even greater percentage. There is
a certain element in the population Of
very large city, which is restive, un-
easy, and hard to control. The ex-
citement OF war has a peculiar at
traction for this element, or for a
considerable proportion of it, and a
very natural result is that large num-
bers of chronic offenders against law
and order in time of peace. are ready
and early volunteers for the front in
wartime. Many of them display COM
mendable valor on the field of battle,
and adopt themselves with fairly good
grace to severe military discipline;
whereas in the prosaic and, to them,
monotonouS quiet of normal life. they
ind 1t difficult, if not impossible to
keep out of trouble. Evidently, their
temperament requires intense excite
ment. and when that is present, as in
war, they are content; but when it is
wanting, as is ordinarily the case at
home in time OF peace. they seek to
make pthe lack by creating excite
ment on their own account. War
provides violence sufficient to satisfy
them; in time of peace they resort to
crime as Manchester

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Congress convened on last Monday,
the first Monday in December, as pro
vided for by the Constitution Of the
United States. President Wilson set
precedent after his Inauguration by ap-
pearing personally before both houses of
Congress, and delivering his message to
them and to the people. Last Monday
he did the same thing. and from all
parts of the country there seems to come
words of praise from every source on
this latest executive emanation.
A perusal of this interesting document
brings out two strong declarations, one
t. the end that large military organi-
zation is not necessary to the peaceful
prrctices of this country, and that the
business world had nothing more to fear
from congressional legislation.
Going further into the first matter.
the President said he believed in a rea-
sonable sized army and navy, but felt
that a strong State militia, well organ
lzed and well drilled in the use of arms,
could serve the country better than the
more expensive regular army He also
said he felt that a stronger navy would
not he unwise, as upon that arm service
in time of war much reliance would be
placed.
His word to the business world has
been most favorably commented on By
all the big newspapers, and it will have
marked effect no doubt in allaying what
little fear there might have been left
among those who lead in the marts of
trade and commerce. That there has
been business depression. and that there
has been anxiety as to what Congress
might to in view of what it has done,
there eau be no doubt, but this word of
the President will have very soothing
effect, and should do much to bring
about strong business revival all over
the country. From many sources it is
learned that business is awakening. and
many factories are putting on their old
forces or larger shifts. War abroad has
brought this country many orders for
supplies and necessities, and this will
have some effect upon general business
conditions.
President Wilson went into many IL
teresting plans of the needs Of the mo-
ment in our governmental organization,
and pointed out many facts and instances
where benefits would accrue, and where
Congress. could wisely enact measures
that would benefit the people. He also
suggested economy where it could be
properly practiced, and if half the good
is done at this session that could come
from his wise suggestions, the people
will long remember the second session of
the Sixty third Congress.

END OF TRACTION ENGINE
TEST.

On Friday afternoon last, Mr.. Zouch,
who had charge of the traction engine
test for the State Road Commission be
tween Cumberland and Frederick, an ac-
count of which appeared in last week 5
CITIZEN, invited representative of this
paper, with several other newspaper men
of Frederick, to witness the taking off
and putting on of the smooth bands
around the cleated wheels of the traction
engine. Some citizens had questioned
the feasibility of this proposition, and
Mr.. Zouch, willing to answer all ques-
tions and meet all objections, very sue
cessfully proved that the steel bands
around the wheels could be removed in
a very short space of time To be ex-
act one band was removed in four min
utes, and replaced in eight, making the
time for the total operation twelve min
utes. This would be considerably less
time than that required to repair an au
tomobile tire along the road.
Mr. Zouch informed the newspaper
men that it would not be necessary to
have as heavy band around the wheels
as the one he had upon his traction er-
gine, but that he wished to be abso-
lutely on the safe side, and installed
band ten inches wide by one half inch
thick. He thought for all practical pur-
poses a band six or seven inches wide
would answer the purpose, depending of
course upon general condition, and he
also further stated that whilst his bands
were in two sections, the bands could be
made in three, thus making it easier to
handle the different sections, as they
consequently would be lighter.
Much interest has been taken in this
demonstration, and it is purpose of the
Commission to issue booklet with the
essential facts demonstrated during the
test, which will be literally distributed
to anyone wishing one of these books
when they appear. They can be secur-
ed by dropping line to the Commission.
Mr.. Zouch is a man of very high in
tegrity, and as far as we know, has no
personal interest other than to help out
the general agricultural conditions in this
State. That it is absolutely necessary
to have some solution of the problem of
how to have our harvesting machinery
taken of over our state roads without
damage to them, goes without saying,
and our farmers and taxpayers will all
welcome the time when they can feel
that this end is insight.
The State Road Commission has done
the best they can DO doubt in the diff
cult position in which they have been
placed, and if they can successfully mas
ter their present proposition, they will
have done great service to the State.
Frederick county is an agricultural com
nunity almost entirely, and no better

Merchants May Appeal.

Congressman David ]. Lewis may be
asked to investigate the causes which
led up to the ining of Frederick
county merchants because of some
violation of the Federal War Tax
From good authority it was learned
last night that quite number of
county and city merchants have been
fined because they failed to testify to
the amount of their cigar business
These merchants claim that it was i'm
possible to get application blanks
from the Hagerstown Revenue officer
There is some misunderstanding
concerning the date fixed for the fl
ing Of these blanks or the taking out
of licenses. Merchants were under
the impression that December l was
the last day. They act specifies No
vember 80.
Wine merchants of Frederick are
unable to secure the revenue stamps
required for the sale of their goods.
One merchant when seen yesterday de-
clared that he had exhausted every
means of getting stamps. Some of
my communications have not been
answered" he declared.
Frederick and Brunswick merch-
ants have been fined because of the
violation OF the section requiring Ii
censes by November 80. The fine was
fifty per cent. of the amount of the
license. The fines were imposed by
Revenue Collector Bloom, stationed at
Hagerstown.
Partially is alleged in the distri-
button of blanks. 1t is charged that
merchants of Baltimore and Washing
ton county had blanks in abundance,
while Frederick county merchants
were not supplied.
No concerted move has been made
to begin the investigation. Last night
several men said that they would
take the matter up with those who
have been fined and the result will
probably be consultation with the
Maryland Senator and Congressman.
