AFTER THE BATTLE.
Fight On Statewide Prohibition
Bill.

Bill.
The American Issue of March %
has the following to say relative to
the State wide prohibition fight in
the Legislature:
Since the smoke of the legislative
battle at Annapolis has somewhat
cleared away, the contending forces
now have opportunity to survey
the field and count their gains and
losses.
The bill which finally passed
both houses and will be signed by
the Governor, thus making it a
law, is absolutely unsatisfactory to
both the vets and the drys, and
the forces that combined for its
passage have met with the fate
which always comes to him who
tries to ride two horses going in
opposite directions at the same
time. Nobody is pleased and
everybody is sore. The temper
ance people Of the state wanted,
and yet demand, mass vote on
the question of prohibiting the
liquor traffic. The wet forces want
no vote at all and are enraged
because they have to face an cleo
ton in every wet unit, knowing
that the most of this territory will
be wrested from them, while thu
fight for a mass vote will still go
on.
The temperance forces of the
state take exceptional pride in
some of the heroes Of this fight.
Smith and Campbell of Allegany
and solid delegations from Calvert,
Caroline, Carroll, Cecil. Frederick,
Garrett, Washington and Wor-
cester remained staunch and tru
to their constituents from the start
to the finish of the fight. Ne
pressure that could be brought t.
bear, and which was brought to
bear on many of these men, caused
either wavering, variance or
shadow of turning. They were
men tried and true and are entitled
to grateful remembrance on the
part of their constituents through
all future years. Others equally
staunch and true were Byrn and
Anderson, of Dorchester; Long, OF
Howard; Uric, of kent; Brooks, of
Montgomery; Metzerott and Van
Horn, of Prince Georges; Stevens,
of Queen Anne's; Buckler C.. L.,
of st. Mary's; Nelson and Mil
bourne, of Somerset; Sewell, of
Talbot; Ward and Baker, of Har-
ford; Shockley, of Wicomico; At
we'll, of Anne Arundel.
While there was no opportunity
to take a record vote in the Senate.
the fight there was fierce enough
to enable us to pay just tribute
of appreciation to the loyalty of
our friends. Here is the list of
those who would have voted for
state wide Prohibition through
thick and thin and who wavered at
no time in their support of the
state wide bill: Allen, of Balti-
more county; Joy, of Calvert; War,
field, of Carroll; Williams of Cecil;
Shepherd of Dorchester; Kaufman,
of Frederick; Speichea, of Garrett;
Brown, of Kent; Legg, of Queen
Anne's; Parsons, of Somerset;
Collier, of Talbot; Bomberger, of
Washington; Bennett, of Wicomico;
Harrison, of Worcester. So, at
all times we had a sufficient num-
Der of friends in the Senate to pass
the state wide bill. The emasc1la
ton of the bill is chargeable to the
House OF Delegates and there the
infamy must rest. Among our
loyal supporters in the Senate,
those who served us best, were
Senators Allen, Warfeld, Will
iiama, Kaufman, Speicher, Legg,
Bcmberger, Bennett and Harrison.

"The eye-paining briIliancc of our

we wash with our heads as well as
our hands, and we let soap do its
proper share of the work. Just

LOUISIANA DETERMINED
TO ERADICATE TICK.
New Law Places Work I'm
der State Board.

Washington, D. C. Aug. 23-The
permanent eradication of the cattle
tick in Louisiana now seems assured
as a result of the passage by the
State Legislature of the Statewide
tick eradication law. After April l,
1918, tick eradication will be under
the direction of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, and the law provides
that such parishes as may be design
ated by that board will be required
to make adequate provision for the
construction Of dipping watts aid the
dipping cattle for ticks, and to con-
tnue such dipping until the ticks are
entirely eliminated.
While the law will not be enforced
until April /, 1918, the Federal au-
thorities urge the wisdom of making
provision now in the different par
ishes for the construction of watts ana
for the necessary chemicals for the
baths.
As an indication that the people Of
louisiana are not inclined to wait IN
til 1918 before taking up tick eradi-
cation, Federal agents state that ac-
tive work is now being conducted in
8 parishes, with the result that dur
ing the month of June, parish, State,
and Federal employees supervised
243,9OS dippings of cattle to rid them
of ticks. The Federal authorities be-
lieve that a large number of square
miles will be added to the tick-free
area in Louisiana by the end of this
year.
As an additional safeguard against
the spread of the tick, the State Leg
islature has also passed law pro-
hbiting the movement of cattle from
any quarantined area into the tick
free section of louisiana or into any
part of the State where systematic
tick eradication work is being con-
Quoted, unless the animals have been
dipped twice in the standard solution,
from 5 to ~ days apart. This dip
ping must be done under the super
vision of a Federal or State inspec..
tor, who will furnish certificate of
dipping. The cattle must not be ex-
posed to tick infestation after the
second dipping. Where cattle are
intended for immediate slaughter,
these restrictions do not apply, but
the slaughtering centers must be pro-
vided with facilities for handling cat
tie satisfactory to the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR
THE HOT KITCHEN
Electricity En- a bles One
Family to Eat and Cook
in the Yard.

Cooking in the hot kitchen is the
bane of every housewife. Electricity
has made it possible for one family
of five, living in a modest cottage in
an eastern summer resort to give the
housewife and also the hired girl a
vacation from the sweltering atmos-
phere of the ordinary kitchen range.
This family belongs to the middle
class and is unable to afford the elab-
crate facilities for housekeeping found
on an expensive summer estate. Its
members decided, however, that they
would not eat in the hot dining room
adjoining the kitchen when there were
shady trees and cool breezes out Of
doors. How to do this without ex-
travagance was the problem, but the
ever willing electric current came to
the rescue and solved it.
A dining table was constructed of
scrap lumber, covered with oil cloth,
and nailed to four equal lengths of
tree trunk which served as legs.
Chairs were made by saving similar
sections from a larger tree trunk.
Then both table and chairs were set
up beneath the cooling shade of a
large hickory tree behind screen of
honeysuckle. Above this rural din
ing room furniture, covered wires
we're strung to suspend three 40-watt
Mazda lamps for illumination at
night.
Beneath the caves of the kitchen
four electric outlet boxes were in
stalled to provide means for attach
ing electric heating devices for cook
ing the meals. A tiny refrigerator
and home kitchen cabinet be-
meath q shelter were built to allow
the convenient storage of butter, eggs,
cheese milk, sugar, coffee, bread and
such other staple articles of food as
are often necessary in the kitchen.
At breakfast time The housewife
boils, fries or scrambles eggs on the
electric grill at her elbow. Coffee is
made in a percolator on side table
and the other breakfast staples are
in easy reach in the refrigerator and
food cabinet. In case it is desired
to keep q quantity of toast made in
the electric toaster warm, the cleo
trio grill and miniature oven ere used.
Luncheon and dinner are prepared in
similar manner with the addition
Of meats and vegetables cooked iii
the electric cooker. Fiber dishes
are used and so there is no
washing. Since the family has been
living in this way it is estimated
that an actual saving of between $40
and $12 has been made each month.
In no one month was the bill for cur
rent consumed more than SIS and
the housewife was enabled to do away
with the hired girl at S. a week and
take vacation herself The scheme
also lends itself admirably to five
o'clock teas and is always praised
and admired by the invited guests.
On a hot night the table is illumi-
mated and used for serving a final
dish of ice cream or cold tea before
he family retires.

The Deutschland.

We look down the long-sped ages
Dimly as through glass
And we see, in slow procession,
The great sea wonders pass
Phoenicia's galley's, oar-locked,
Marking the trails of trade,
But holding fast to the shore lines,
Of untried wastes afraid
Fierce Vikings born of the Northland
Tracking the midnight sun,
With never doubt and never fear,
And splendid purpose won
Brave vessels out of harbor
With the flag of Spain unfurled,
Flinging a dare to winds of fate
In the quest of an unknown world
And ship with a Misunderstanding
That laughed at the flying foam,
Circling the globe and coming at last
Back to the ports of home
II.
These were the first sea victors,
= Masters of wind and tide,
And they sailed with only hope for
lure
And only the stars to guide.
(But down in the rock-rimmed ca
verns
Where the storms their orgies keep,
The sea-god lifted his trident,
Still lord of the under deep.)
But what is this strange new marvel
Sired of science and art
Swimming the waves like a seagull,
Piercing the oceans heart
Comrade of whale and of dolphin,
Brother to fiercest shark,
Daring the tempests of heaven,
Fearing nor depth nor dark.
And shades of Phoenician and Viking
With ghost of the Genoese
And the phantom of old Magellan,
They give it the "hail' of the seas.
No voice but acclaims it as victor,
No question of lordship now,
For the sea-god hangs his trident
On the Deutschland's wave-wet
