DOESN'T LIKE R. F. D. SERVICE
BrOOkIYnils Tells His Troubles To
BsIlimare Sunpsper.

Generally it is a newspaper that
most people tell their troubles to in
stead Of "the police, until now the
uite phrase tell il to the marine"
is fast becoming the more modern
form Of tell it to the press.
Complaining OF the inadequacy Of
the Rural Free Delivery service, a
resident of Brooklyn, this county,
writes to the Baltimore Sunpaper as
follows
The writer Of this letter, after a
discussion with others of his com
munity, has been requested to ask
The Sun to discuss editorially the in
adequacy Of the rural free delivery
mail service, with a view to the bet
terment of the same. The holidays
observed by the Postal Department
when our mail is held up for a day,
are the very occasions when il is
most desirable to US to have the
weather predictions, market reports
and special holiday notices, aside
from the fact that important COM
munications are as likely to arrive on
those days as on any nelghDOrlnZ
ones.
II appears TO US that substitutes
could FIJI in these days and prevent
the necessity Of the entire rural fr ee
delivery community suffering so
great 8 disadvantage in order to con-
tribute a holiday 10 the relatively
few carriers. We think we should
enjoy a proportionstely similar SER
vice to that accorded the city.
Any advocacy you may see fit 70
give this suggestion will be received
with the universal gratitude Of al
dependent upon the service. If We
dared, we would even include a Sun.
day service also.

Anne Arundel County Delegates
Do Not Agree.
MAY FIGHT IN THE HOUSE.
The Fate Of The Railroad Tor The
Present, at Least, Seems To be in
Their Hands.
MAY FIGHT IN THE HOUSE.

IL is thought IL the Anne Arundel
delegates get together there Is a
bright prospect that the Baltimore
and Virginia Railroad Company, bet
ter known as the Drum Point Rail-
road, will be constructed in the near
future.
The Calvert county delegation
yesterday decided TO report favorably
joint resolution, which has already
passed the Senate, confirmatory of an
act of 1912 authorizing and direct
ing the Calvert County Commission
ers to subscribe to the stock of the
railroad company to the amount of
5000, 900. The four Anne Arundel
delegates are undecided. similar con-
firmatory resolution applying TO their
county and directing a subscription
of 5000. 600 stock 1t has received
favorable action in the Senate.
The Allegany county delegates have
not as yet decided whether thu will
request the Speaker 70 appoint a fifth
member on a select committee or
carry their fight to the floor. Lead
ing residents of the southern section
Of Anne Arundel, headed by james
Che ston, yesterday urged the dele
gates to make favorable report on
the bill. The Calvert county dele
gates decided yesterday afternoon 20
submit a favorable report.
Mr.. David B. Stewart, Of Balti-
more, was here yesterday and stated
that private subscriptions amounting
TO 5000, COO have been secured, aud
with the passage of the bill in the
House, the work Of construction can
be resumed within short time.
Twenty per cent. of this is in hand
All but six miles of the road was
graded over a quarter Of century
ago. Some OF these grades have
been impaired by washing, but the
grading is still available with bat
little additional expense. Engineers
are here now waiting flr favorable
weather conditions to begin a sur
vey to determine what the actual
cost of construction would be from
Millersville to Drum Point.
The snowstorm this week and last
week prevented them from getting
on the job. The engineering crew is
already organized and will probably
start on the work Thursday of this
week.

TREASURY IS HARD HIT.
Revenues Of The State Are Insufficient
To Meet Demands Being Made
Upon Them.

Chairman Lloyd Wilkinson, of the
Ways and Means Committee, OF the
House, has called attention to the
serious financial problems confronting
this Legislature. Not all the mem
oers realize what the pressure upon
the State treasury is, and how high
the tax rate would soar we're nearly
all the demands granted.
Mr.. Wilkinson and Chairman Camp
bell, of the Senate Finance Commit
tee, have been working day aud night
over the requests for State aid, en-
deavoring to figure toward an end
that would meet the demands of
merit and at the same time hold the
tax rate down az far as possible-
Speaking Of the situation. Mr.. Wiki
inson said:
"ln a conference held last week with
the treasury officials we were in
formed that any increase in the
amount appropriated over the session
Of 1919 would have to be carried by a
bond issue; that the present revenue
Of the State would not justify either
Increases in the appropriations made
or the addition of any new bur-
dens. This is a very serious condi-
tion when you consider the very
large appropriations asked at this
session.

VILLA TO SURRENDER BODY.
News Csu,ss Much Relief 10 WillOn
Administration.

The Mexican situation seemed TO
take a turn for the better last night
when the state Department received
word that the rebel authorities would
yield to the American representations
and deliver the body of Benton the
British ranchman, who met death after
800 encounter with Villa.
This information came to the De-
partment last night from George g.
CarotheFs. a member of the consular
service at FL Paso.
The British Government, as indicated
ia further statements in Parliament to-
day and by Sir Edward Grey, and 10 an
hours conference between Secretary
Bryan and Ambassador Spring Rice,
attaches such vital Importance to the
recovery of Benton's body that the
United States was fast becoming Ubli-
gated to make the recovery at almost
any cost.
10 is confidently believed by the
British authorities that an examination
of the body will disclose the manner in
which Benton was killed and indicate
the truth or falsity of Villas explana
ton of the killing.
An attitude that could not be tolerat
cd tong by the United States in view
Of the pressure eXerted upon this Gov
eminent by Great Britain was main
tanned by villa and his subodinates W
to the moment when word was received
that the body would be surrendered.

TO FRAME NEW OYSTER LAW
State Officials To Overcome SupFtms
Courts Objection.

There was an informal conference
here yesterday over the course to be
taken by the fiscal officers Of the
state snd the state fishery force in
connection with the decision of the
Supreme Court Of the United States
declaring invalid the provision of the
state law placing a tax Of a cent
1ushel on all oysters caught within
The state.
Comptroller Harrington, Command
er Howard, Of the state fishery force.
and Mr.. Harry j.. Hopkins, chief
clerk to the Comptroller, discussed
Inc situation. 1t was agreed that 1t
would be necessary 10 secure prompt
legislation in order TO prevent the in
spection system from being absolute
ly wrecked. However, no doubt was
expressed that a bill could be framed
20 secure the necessary revenue and
AZ the sans time meet the objections
# the Supreme Court.
The Maryland Court Of Appeals
declared invalid the law passed in
1910 which provided a tax Of twb
cent per bushel on all oystes. This
lct provided that the revenue derived
from half CT this tax should be de-
voted to reshelling bottoms, and il
vas this portion of the act which
made the state court hold il invalid
The ground for its action was that
TAX could not lawfully be levied on
citizens of other states except TO
cover the necessary cost Of inspections
and policing.
Definite action in the way of fran.
ing a measure TO take the place Of
that declared invalid by the Supreme
Court will await the receipt of a copy
Of the opinion. 1t is not believed
that there will be any difficulty in
framing the bill or securing its pass-
age. Permanent deprivation Of this
revenue would break down the whole
ystem Of oyster inspection in the
tate, the AMOUNT collected under the
ok being between $50, 600 and $40.
900 annually.

ADVICE TO ENGAGED GIRL
How She NAV Judge Romeo By Form.
Not Words.

Glow" asks Engaged, can
girl be sure the man she loves means
ell be says?"
The cold, hard fact about it is
that she cannot says the New Or
leans States. Neither can he. Sol
ONION, who knew a lot, said ell men
were liars. and human experience
in the centuries since hasn't pro-
duceI many reasons to change the
verdict.
Not necessarily wilfdl and delib-
crate liars-let's give them that
benefit. But let us also be candid
A man in love is like a man in
drink-he il too intoxicated TO be
responsible for all he says. DO you
suppose there ever was a man in
love, from Adam down, who didn' {
swear by all the deities that he
would never let the woman take in
washing to support him? Yet the
washtub supports almost as many
homes as the pick and shovel.
Circumstances change. When a
fellow gets down to earth after the
eHluLlOuhf bONI VI TIC SAhEef lie IS uUi
to be practical and matter of fact.
If he remembers his ecststjc promises
at all, il is vague. the wise woman
doesn't presume upon them. She just
marks offsthe discount TO profit arc
loss, and thanks her luck if there is
| enough left TO make the basis of q
working agreement. No, dear, you
can't believe all that Romeo tells
you; but you can Judge him fairly
we'll on form.
Is he is kind to his old mother !
Has he kept a clean record in the re-
sponsibilities around his present
homef Has he good men friends who
believe in him and trust him? Bac k
OF the froth and embroidery Of his
inpassioned chatter do you detect the
rudiments of plain horse sensei Has
he shown gumption in tackling the
business of making living for two
or more If so, and you really love
the chap, and would be willing t.
pare potato es for him until death do
you part, then we guess is ali right.
