Plans for Structure.

The plans for the Red Cross building
prepared by Trowbridge & Livingston
provide for a structure Of two stories and
basement, with an assembly room nifty
feet by sixty-four feet on the first floor
a large museum room on the basemen,
floor and numerous Offices on the other
floors.
The floor plans for the building were
suggested largely by Red Cross officers,
in order that the work of the great or
ganization be carried on as systemati-
cally as possible. Therefore, the chief
work Of the architects has been to work
out the details and design a beautiful
exterior.
1t is planned to have three rooms espe-
cially for the use of the three great
boards of the Red Cross-the war relief
board, the national relief board and the
international relief board.
The erection of a building for the use
Of the American Red Geoss will bring
the United States on 4ane with Rus
sia, Austria and Germa which already
have great Red CrosB buildings, and
Japan, which Is now constructing one.

Sublime Effronterx.

Laboucheres grandfather, Pierre
Caesar, was one of Napoleon's brok-
ers. On one occasion Pierre Caesar
was sent by Mr.. John Hope (his en-
ployer) to England to see Sir Francis
Barring on some business and fell in
love with Sir Francis third daughter,
Dorothy. Before leaving England he
asked Sir Francis to permit him to
become engaged to his daughter. Sir
Francis refused. Pierre Caesar then
said, would it make any difference
to your decision if you knew that Mr.
Hope was about to take ne into part
nership?" Sir Francis unhesitatingly
admitted that it would. Pierre Caesar
then went back to Holland and sug-
gested to Mr.. Hope that he might be
taken into partnership. On Mr.. Hope
discouraging the idea, he said:
"Would it make any difference to your
decision if you knew that I was en-
gagged to the daughter of Sir Francis
Baring?" Mr.. Hope replied, Certain
ly." Whereupon the willy clerk said,
"Well, am engaged to Miss Dorothy
Barring" That very day he was able
to write to- Sir Francis announcing
the news of his admission to partner
ship in the house of Hope, and in the
same letter he claimed the hand Of
his bride.

leader is man or men distinguished by
wisdom, capacity and large experience
in public affairs. Bosses some times
arise, but they are only incidents and Of
minor importance. Bosses exist because
the people of party do not do their
duty to their party and allow a boss to
do it.
In our country there are no bosses and
the people are their own bosses. Every
Democrat elected to office where these
appointments are to be made, owes it to
his party to appoint Democrats and only
Democrats, if Democrats can be found,
to fill the places If he fails to do it,
he violates his duty to his party and to
the Democrats who elected him, and will
have and deserves TO have the condem
nation Of his party, and will be rele-
gated to the rear.
If the patronage is given to the party
in opposition, it weakens his own party
and giyes strength to the enemy. And
the Democrat who does it is an enemy
to his party, and an migrate to his Dem
ocratic friends who elected him. This
is true of any, and it is also true of all
parties.
More than that, whenever a Demo-
crat does an act of this sort it will al
ways be found that the influences that
controlled him was the result Of some
personal interest or ambition or some
man or corporation, or bank that wants
to make money by it. 1t is based on
personal greed and gain. This is the
lowest and most corrupt motive that can
be found in party man, and such in
huences must be eliminated from the
Democratic party If the Democratic
party is to hold power in this country
all such men and all such influences
must be eliminated from the party.

more City, certainly must be seeking the
limelight with vengeance, or else feels
that his constituents are not likely to re-
turn him to the Legislature. Certainly
he must be the Apostle of the great Up
lift Movement in this State, or rather of
his own city, when he introduces such
bills as the one restricting the. work of
the women Of this State to eight hours
daily, and the other, equally ridiculous
and preposterous, to outrageously in
crease the license charges against the
owners and operators of automobiles.
These measures ought to be their own
worst enemies, and we trust that no self
respecting member of the Legislature
will be careless enough to give them the
slightest encouragement. Some one has
a bill to reduce the age limit for opera
tors Of automobiles to sixteen years.
Why don t they make it apply to the
age of reason-seven years-that is
young enough to make travel safe and
sound. We have hopes for the sanity
of the present General Assembly, but if
the above is real sample Of seriously
contemplated measures to go upon our
statute books, then the hope dies ADJOURN
ing, and we must be an advocate of a
change in our Constitution to allow or
permit the Legislature meeting only once
in at least four years.

All About A Copper Cent.

Among the historical relics and articles
of interest collected by the Star Spangled
Banner Centenary Commission for exhi-
bition during the coming celebration. in
Baltimore, September to ~, will be an
old copper cent, belonging to Miss Isa-
belle Hammond, of New Market. Md. 1t
bears the date Of 1872, and was found On
the National Pike, five miles eest of Fred
erick, about SIX years ago.
The cent is larger than our present
quarter. On one side is the head of the
Goddess of Liberty, encircled by thirteen
stars. On the reverse are the " ords.
One Cent, " in the center of a wreath of

The National Pike was the old stage

cent in the pocket of many 4 gay blade,

pediting legislation and this will be
great and most important advantage.
1t has been decided to consider the big
financial and appropriation bills earlier
than usual, and this in itsef will mean
much to the State. In the past it has
been customary to jam the appropriation
bills through the Legislature during the
closing days of the session and invariably
many OF the Senators and Delegates were
not familiar with their provisions The
Democratic majority has started out on
its work under the most pleasant anspi-
ces. The party in the Legislature is sol.
idly and tremendously united and has
behind it the solid support of the rauk
and file of the party throughout the
State. The record made by this Legis-
lature will undoubtedly have an import
ant bearing on the next State campaign,
when a Governor will be elected and
thus it behooves the Democrats to see
that its record is unsurpassed.
AT last Mr.. Blair Lee has been seated
as member of the United States Senate
and once again Maryland is repre-
sented in Congress by a solid Demo-
cratic delegation. Only thirteen votes
were cast against Senator Lee and those
by organizatiod Republicans. If there
ever was a man sent to the United
States Senate by the people it is Blair
Lee. He made the fight in fair and
square election and won by over 40, 900
votes. Every legal safeguard was thrown
around the election and in every detail
it was the same as a general election in
Maryland. Many friends of former SEN
atur William P. Jackson believe that he
made mistske in trying to keep his seat.
They point out that he should have seen
that it was losing fight and to have
gracefully retired as soon as Senator
Lees credentials were presented. AL
though he has not made any definite an
nouncement it is now believed by Sena-
ator Jackson's friends that he will be a
candidate for the long term United
States Seuatorship this year. Should
Mr.. Jackson be candidate he would I'M
questicnably have the support of the Re-
publican organization forces in this city
and State While member of the Sen
ate Mr.. Jackson made a number of
friends, and it is asserted that he sue
ceeded in having passed a number of
useful and beneficial measures for Mary
land and the Marylanders.

Gets First Bill Through the House

Delegate August T. Brust, of Froder-
lex, has the distinction Of getting the first
bill through the House Of Delegates at
the present session, the measure being
passed Monday night The bill repeats
the law in this county encouraging the
killing OF destructive animals and BIRDS in
five northern districts OF the county.
There has been considerable sentiment
tor the repeal of this law since it was
passed in 1912, because it has cost the
county considerable money from 5000 10
$500 year, and it is claimed that without
this bounty the birds and animals are
killed by the residents for the protection
OF their property, and therefore, the law
is not needed.
In the Senate Mr. Matthias secured the
passage Monday night OF one of the first
six bills passed by the upper house at the
present session. 1t ratified the consoli-
dalon of the Hagerstown and Frederick
trolley systems with other utilities.

from Frederick county, and also the
Montgomery county Delegates There
are 10 miles of pike in Frederick county,
extending south from this city, through
Frederick Junction to the Montgomery
county line near Hyattstown. There are
three toll gates on the stretch of the
road.
ssThe State has acquired about 26 miles
on the Georgetown road lying in Mont
gomery county. and running from the
District of Columbia line toward Fred
erlck to what is known as Henderson's
Corner. There is stretch of about 8
miles OF Montgomery county road from
this point to the Frederick county bor-

thorltles secure the remainder of the road
from the capital and make it free pike.

gates will see the wisdom and fairness of
passing real, genuine popular United
States Senatorial Primary Law. Efforts
will also be made to amend the general
State Election Law, so as to provide for
the popular nomination OF the Governor,
State Comptroller, Attorney-General and
Clerk of the Court of Appeals. All of
these officials are elected by the popular
vote and they should be nominated in
the same manner. The probabilities are
that the German Committee will recon-
mend these changes in the general
Statewide Primary Law. The attitude
OF United States Senator Blair Lee on
these two big Democratic questions will
play very important part in their con-
sideration by the Legislature. AS yet
Senator Lee has refused to give his
views on either one, but in the past he
has always been IN favor of the Uuit
System plan for making all State and
United States Senatorial nominations.

An hours ride takes them to the sea-

Reynolds is right. California is a

the marching Of an army Of unem-
ployed has no dangers SO long as the

ways continue to grow and prosper SO
long as there are those who have an
income to live on. 1t is delightful
residence country as he says for those
who can get relief from the heat in
the mountains by use of an automobile
but without discouraging those who
have automobiles and incomes to live
on from visiting California, life should
not be viewed as wholly wasted If not
spent in California, especially if we
can become so fortunate as to have
an income to live on.

cemnuI.orx Edueation.

Although six states in the union are
still without compulsory school-at-
tendance laws. and four others have
laws that apply only partially. definite
progress during the past decade 10 re-
ported in bulletin Just issued by the
United States Bureau Of Education.
Since 1905 eight states previously with
out compulsory laws have adopted
them, and 1t is Thought to be a matter
of only few years when compulsory
school attendance will be IN effect in
every state and territory Of the United
States.
The six states still without CONF
pulsory school laws are: South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Florida. Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, and Texas The four local.
option states, whose the law Is in effect
in certain counties only, are Maryland.
Virginia, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
The bureaus investigation OF the
subject reveals close connection be-
tween lack OF compulsory attendance
laws and illiteracy. The states rank
in percentage Of illiteracy very much
in accordance with the length OF time
compulsory schooling has been In effect
and the completeness with which it is
enforced.
The states vary widely in number
of years and amount OF attendance re-
quired each year. The period Of COM
pulsory attendance is from s toe12 in
North Carolina and Virginia. In most
