got away with it.

$1OO,0OO--it might just as well have been

stage money"-that he could lock him
self up In room "a hours and compose
a complete opera.

to eat and drink, including a gallon or
so of coffee to help the genius keep
awake. Columns and columns in the
newspapers attended these preparations.
At last grandfather was kept busy refus-
ing the offers of all kinds of takers and
quacks who wanted to supply him with
oxygen, as well as a spiritualist who was
prepared to materialize all the dead COM

Well, the doors were sealed and big

The Board of Election Supervisors

for recommendations for the appoint,
ment of election officials. Nine districts
have reported and the Board being with
out recommendations were necessarily
compelled to meet the emergency from the

above, and after the appointments had
been made much dissatisfaction appeared
from some OF the districts, because there
alter date nominations were not needed.

twenty years. Whatever differences of

this country can not have another panic

Freedom From Diseese Cennpul-
sorry

For the first time in the history of the
public schools of Frederick county. a
law has been passed and enacted by the
Maryland Legislature prohibiting the
Frederick County School Board and the
school boards oil all other counties Of the
State from employing teachers who have
tuberculosis or any other communicable
diseases in the schools Of the county
Another section of the act provides
that the school boards may in their dis
cretion appoint one or more physicians
to examine the pupils of the schools Of
the county for hearing, sight, or any
other physical defects. The board NAV
also if it SO desires, appoint special
teachers to have supervision over the
children who have physical deformites
that prohibit them from advancing with
the normal pupils Of the county schools.
While the County School Board has
not taken any action in regard to this
law, because copies of this law have only
recently been received. the question will
be threshed out at a future meeting.
The one section of the act is mandatory
and will certainly be put int effect this
fall.
