Cloud Burst AT North East

The heavy rain which visited North
East on Wednesday evening and which
lasted for 2 hours, did great deal of
damage, and while the big North East
Creek did not rise the run flowing
from the woods and fields southeast
of the town overfowed and caused the
property loss of severa thousands of
dollars. The stone wall in front of
E. G. Loves home was washed out
and the wheel-wright shop of William
Pugh's moved from the foundation
and the concrete pavements were un-
dermined. Stephen McKinney's stable
was washed away and the horses res
cued with difficulty. The following
are the losses. E. G. Lowe, $1,000;
W. j. Cameron, 81 900; Charles Lowe.
500; VIM. Pugh, 5000; Isaiah Biddle,
$1OO; Stephen Mckinney, 5000; Abner
Irving, $50. Many chickens were
drowned but no live stock. All the
boats and outtittings were rescued on
the river.

Burden On Motorists

Automobile Commissioner Harry A.
Roe recently gave out statement re-
garding the legal obligation of motor
i,ts to be at pains to prevent acci-
dents. Mr.. Roe recalled the recent
decision by Judge McLane in the case
Of the State against T. Scott Offut
In this decision Judge McLane he'd
that, under the law, speed in excess of
II miles an hour in the city, Is miles
in the suburbs and % miles in the
country districts is prima facie evi-
dence of reckless driving. Judge Me
Lane held, too. that the law does not
fix these speed rates as the legal ones /;
they simply are the limits beyond
which driving necessarily becomes
reckless. An obligation is upon the
drivers going at lower speed to avoid
rccklessness, according to the immed-
late surrounding conditions

What Judge McLane Said.

Mr.. Roe said:
Judge McLane's opinion in the case
Of the State of Maryland against T.
Scott Offutt vigorously sustains the
speed provisions of the Automobile
law and emphasizes strongly the duty
imposed upon the motor operator to
exercise unusual care and caution in
the driving of the motor vehicle.
"The Automobile law provides that
no person shall operate a motor We
hicle over any public highway of this
State rGcklessly or at a rate of speed
greater than is reasonable and prop
er, having regard to the width, traffic,
and use of the highway. The offense
under this law consists of driving
reck!esly or at an unreasonable or
improper rate of speed.
"As a test of what constitutes reck-
less driving or unreasonable speed,
the law has set up a standard of II
miles an hour in the city, 18 miles an
hour in the suburban section and 25
miles an hour in the country districts.
This means that speed in excess of
such rate is prima facie evidence that
the motor operator was operating his
machine recklessly or at an unres SON
able or improper rate of speed and
casts his burden of proof upon him to
show that under all the circumstances
of his particular c.se the rate of
speed was not greater than what was
reasonable or proper.
"As the Judge says, the language
of the law would appear to be so

Traction Company lost to Elkton at
Elkton Ball Park. after hard-fought
game that went to eleven innings.
The last few innings We're played un-
der "protest" by Traction Co., they
disputing decision of Umpire Hast
ings, who called Dougherty out at the
home plate on the ground that he was
touched by the coacher when leaving
third base. The game was a clean,
snappy affair all through, the Trac-
tion Co. boys being a fast lot, but too
much given to kicking" at every de-
cision that is made against them. In
fact their kicking came near reach
ing the dimensions of a row at one
time. The Elkton management is to
be commended for serving notice to
home patrons of the game as we'll as
to visitors that "rowdyism" will not
be permitted on the grounds. The
game is meant to furnish sport and
people who don't know that ought to
go somewhere else.
Joe Clay's want of contro! kept the
fans" on pins and needles, and only
fast fielding saved him at times. Nor
ley for the Traction Co., pitched
steady game and only allowed the
home boys five hits. Both short stops
played fine ball, as the score shows;
so did Henry Scott and Dougherty in
the center garden. If the Elkton boys
can trim up their batting lamps they
will make somebody hustle to keep
them Out of first Mace

MANY POINTS ABOUT CIGAR
Not Alone Must "Weed" Have Proper
Flavor, But Other Things Have to
Be Given Consideration.

A cigar should have four cardinal
virtues The first and most important
is good burn-that is, the burn must
be even, the cigar must hold it's fire,
the ash should be coherent and not
taky, and there must be no charring
in advance of the burn.
The second point relates to the
flavor This is important to the smok.
er-the cigar must tickle his palate.
The third essential point has to do
with the aroma, which is the pleasure.
giving quality of the smoke, not only
to the smoker but to the bystander
Even though cigar has a rich,
smooth, mellow flavor it should be
classed as a poor one if it gives off
a bouquet which is offensive to all
within range of it's fumes.
Finally, a cigar should have a good
appearance. Really, it is surprising
how important this is. No matter how
fine the burn, or how pleasing the
flavor or aroma, a cigar must look the
part in order to be good. Given two
cigars of equal quality, the one which
looks the best will actually taste the
best.-Cigarology of Henry Reist
kraybill of the University of Chicago

Now Paint

Strike when the iron is hot and
paint when the property needs it.
They paint ships a dozen times a
year; yes, some of them, every voy-
age. What for, do you think? To
look nice and get business.
A livery keeps its carriages painted
and vanished and washed, to look
nice and get business.
A man, with a house for sale or to
let, docs it up" and Devoe is the
paint.
There's more in paint than to keep
out water. Paint for looks and you
needn't think about water. A fresh
coat of paint>once a year is about as
good for his credit as paying his
debts. But the:man whose buildings
and fences look new, very likely, has
no debts.

The Prefix "Pan."

The prefix "pan" is derived from the
Greek "pas" (panD meaning "all." 1t
is a combining form found in words OF
Greek origin, and is also used before
English aGjectives, as pan-harmonic
embracing all harmony or every mode
of harmony. The meaning is similar
in such words as Pan-American, Pan
Egyptian, etc. but does not apply to
Panhandle, this being the name given
to narrow strip of one political d.
vision. extending between two other
divisions, as the Panhandle OF West
Virginia, the Texas Panhandle.
