Officials Named for Montevue.

During a session that lasted for
nearly two hours, the County Commits
sioners last Monday afternoon reappoint-
ed practically the entire staff of en-
ployes at Montevue. The appoint
ments of the farmer, two wardens and
cook were held over until future
meeting. Frank CLANCY, laundryman,
YVES ousted. Minor offices carrying
small salaries were not considered
and these employees will probably hold
over, Changes will become effective
April 1.
Although some Of the members of
the board were in favor of eliminat-
ing the Office of clerk at Montevue,
nothing YVES done. Throughout the
meeting there was the best of feeling.
Voting was characterized by jokes and
puns at the pet schemes of the various
commissioners. The majority of the
commissioners felt that any change of
the office Of clerk, or the combining
of the two offices would hardly be
practicable. Others declared that they
did not have the power to eliminate
this office.
Nothing definite was done in regard
to the plans for the future operation
of the institution. These matters will
como up when the commissioners meet
to make the appointments of the
| farmer and others.
The appointments as made yester-
day afternoon are: Olin w. Rice, sup
erintendent; Mrs. Emma Rice, mat
ron; ]. D. English, clerk; DR.. B. o.
Thomas, physician; Miss Mamie Pin

1T has been rumored that the Demo

slider the recommendation of someone for
the position of postmaster for Frederick.
There are four candidates, as we have
previously stated, George S. Rodock,

State Central Committee also will have
the recommendation to make for post.
master Of Emmitsburg, for which office
there are two avowed candidates. Enoch
Frizzell, and DR.. James Nee. Foreman.
All OF these candidates have been very
busy seeking the assistance of their
friends to forward their cherished hopes.
The Central Committee has indeed a
most difficult undertaking before them to
pick out the most available candidate
from such good material, and we trust
there will be as little hard feeling as pos
slble after the result is known.

BERLIN VACANT LOTS
ARE POTATO PATCHES
Women of Nobility Aid In Rails
Ing All Kinds of Vegetables.

Berlin-Governor Pingree's potato
patch plan, tried by the Michigan gov
ernor many years ago, is being copied
In Berlin, where movement, support
ed by many women of high position, to
utilize all available garden plots and
vacant land in greater Berlin as truck
farms for the immediate raising of
vegetables has been set on foot. 1t Is
the consensus of opinion that the pres
ent war requires some such step.
To accomplish this purpose it is pro-
posed to enlist the aid Of all available
truck farmers and agricultural experts
and to get them to give instruction in
vegetable raising and as far as possible
assist In the actual work. 1t is expect
ed that 1t will not be difficult to inter
est women in large numbers to carry
on the work of feeding the people.
Women willing to assist, 1t is pro-
posed, will first take short free course
at the Royal Gardening institute. The
installation and preparation of courses
are in the hands of the war committee
ON vegetable raising. Interested in the
movement are such women as the wife
of the minister of war, Frau Wild Won
Hohenborn; Countess Won Brockdorff,
the empress chief lady in waiting;
Fraulein Won Gersdorff and Frau Won
Boetticher, the widow Of the late min
lister of state.
Berlin is the scene at this time of nu-
merous meetings, largely attended by
women of every class, at which ways
and means of more economical living
are discussed by prominent physicians.
The women are being urged to cut
down the consumption of meat by at
least Is per cent and to resort more to
the use of milk The women are asked
to think of the men in the field and the
hardships they have to endure, If econ
omy in eating seems to be too difficult.

WOMEN RARELY STAMMER.
And This Is a Fact That Puzzles the
Medical Experts.

Have you ever known a woman who
stammered? 1t is very doubtful
The fact that those afflicted with
stammering are a hundred men to one
woman is one of the most curious
things in the science of pathology
Even the specialists in nervous trou-
bles are utterly at loss to account
for this popularity. One eminent spe
cialist says that in all his vast expert
ence he has only known one woman
to suffer from stammering. Stammer-
ing is nervous affilction of the organs
Of speech, and the victim is usually a
person of highly strung temperament.
Where there is not any real reason
for this trouble, the cause usually lies
In the mind-that is, the stammerer
stammers because he fears he will
stammer.
Now. women are much more prone
to nervous disorders, and this makes
their immunity from the trouble all

CALLS MEETING OF
AMERICAN BANKERS
Promotion of South American
Trade Object Of Gathering.

Washington. = Announcement was
made by Secretary McAdoo that Presi-
dent Wilson had set May 10 for the
projected conference between leading
bankers of the United States and the
finance ministers and influential bank
ers of Central and South America. The
meetings will be held in Washington,
and the visitors will be entertained as
the guests of this governments con-
gress having appropriated $4,000 for
the expenses.
This meeting will be the outcome of
the most serious effort yet made to
remove some of the artificial barriers
which have INSTRUCTED the movement
of trade between this country and
South America. Some Of these diff
culties were considered at less form
al conference held in this city last
summer. At that time 1t was the con-
sensus of opinion of the South Amer1-
can authorities that the great bar to
closer business relations between the
United States and the countries below
the isthmus was the lack of banking
connections. So long as the South
Americans had to look to Europe for
capital, it was asserted, the United
States could not expect to capture any
large share of business.
The European war brought right
about change In this situation, making
II impossible for Great Britain, France
or Germany to furnish new funds, and
coincidentally United States national
banks received permission under the
federal reserve act to open foreign
branches. For this reason great I'M
portance is attached to the approaching
conference.
At the request Of Secretary Bryan
and Secretary McAdoo congress passed
a resolution granting authority to the
president to invite the governments OF
Central and South America to send
their ministers of finance and leading
bankers to a joint conference with the
secretary of the treasury and repre-
sentative bankers with view to es-
tablishing closer and more satisfactory
financial relations. The leading gov
ernments already had been approached
on this subject and had indicated their
willingness to participate in such
meeting.

CHILD A MUSICAL PRODIGY.
Plays Classical and Popular Pieces, but
Never Had Lesson.


Marquette, Mich.-Marquette is be-
lieved to have a musical prodigy In the
person of Theresa Mahoney, four-year-
old daughter of John L. Mahoney and
pupil in the kindergarten of the OIL
colt school. The other day before her
school teacher, a Marquette music
teacher and small assemblage she
performed the remarkable feat of play
ing with ease and expression the airs
Of several classical and popular selec-
lions. AS she has never had a days in
struction her performance on the piano
was the cause Of much establishment.
The child's playing is not that Of the
usual child with musical instinct who
picks out the air with but one finger.
She uses all five fingers of the right
hand, and when playing rarely glances
at the keyboard. One person present
merely hummed an air and the young
ster played 1t without glancing at the
keyboard of the piano.

FERROUS reason their nervousness af-

some medical authorities not to be

of a bad functional disease.
