Two 30x3 Goodyear tires,
Two 30x34 chain-tread tires.
One 30x3 Mechelin tire.
Three 30x3 inner tubes.

At the meeting of the Methodist Epis-
copal preachers Monday morning at Eu-
taw street church, Baltimore, 1851 new
members were reported as having joined
the church since the opening of the Billy
Sunday campaign. At the Methodist
Protestant Preachers Meeting at 3l6 N.
Charles street about 1000 were reported
with prospects of 500 more. Baptists
and Presbyterians are believed to have
nearly an equal record with the latter,
with some churches of other denomina-
tions profiting largely.
The Rev. E. d. Stone seems to have
captured the record for Hampden Meth
odist Episcopal church with 225 actual
new members and more in prospect;
Walbrook with 1876, Madison Square with
l7S; East Baltimore Station with l20, and
Fuller Memorial Baptist with los are
others in the lead; Abbott Memorial Pres
byterian and Union Square Methodist
Episcopal church are pressing them close.

Daniel Froman presents Florence Reed in

"THE DANCING GIRL"


Daniel Froman presents Florence Reed in
the famous emotional drama,
THE DANCING GIRL"
1.-The Dancing Grip might have been
written for the camera, so full of action
and picturesqueness is every scene, the
colorful exteriors of the rocky coast of
"The Isle of Endelion" contrasting with
the rich interiors of the elegant home of
profigate Duke of Guiseberry, under
whose patronage the dancing girl lives
for time. Perhaps the greatest incl
dent of the play is the famous staircase
scene" where Drucilla, at the zenith of
her fame, having come to dance before
the Dukes own family, declares to her
amazed and angry old Quaker father, who
comes in search of her, that she wants
to be "the topmost rose on the topmost
bough, and live in the sunshine, and Is
crushed by the terrible wrath of faith
er's curse. Tottering for moment, she
faints, and falls the length of the grand
staircase, and awakes to consciousness,
knowing at last the havoc she has made
of her life and the shame she is to her
people. The tragedy of this is followed
by the splendid scene in which occurs the
meeting of peeitent Drusila with the
nobleman on the lonely coast of Endellion
where both have come to seek death, and
where they decide to rebuild their shat
tered lives and to share newer, purel
life.

SATURDAY, MAY 9th,
Dan'l Frohmar presents Mary Pickford as
"CINDERELLA."
The story of Cinderella is too we'll
known to require lengthy description,
but all the familiar beauties of the tale
are enhanced in the photo-produc ton,
with many added odd touches, pathetic,
romantic and humorous. The naughty
sisters will be seen in all their conceit
and grotesque ugliness, the cruel and pa
trician stepmother, who is all sweetness
to her own daughters, and all unkindness
to Cinderella; the handsome Prince who
wins the cinder-girl's heart, and loses his
own to her, in the forest, where he first
meets her, staggering under load of
faggots, and who ever after dreams of
her as the Princess of his soul and throne
which she afterwards becomes in reality.
The tender and picturesque aspects of
the subject are bound to make the photo
play one of the most delightful ever Of
fered.

A SymbOl of Health.

The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temperance
and purity. AS badge they used the
five pointed star which they regarded as
a symbol of health. A red five pointed
star appears on each package of Cham
berlain's Tablets, and still fulfils its an
Gent mission as symbol of health. If
you are troubled with Indigestion, bill

of these tablets from your druggist.

Meeting In st. Johns Lutheran
Church, Sunday, May 9TH.


On Sunday morning next at 1890
O'Clock, Union Service will be held in
St. Johns Lutheran church, at which
time DR.. w. w. Davis, general secretary
of the Lords Day Alliance of Maryland,
and DR.. Howard A. Kelly, of Baltimore,
will address the congregation on the
proper observance of tine Sabbath.
These noted speakers have been tour
ing every county in Maryland, their aim
being to interest people in the observ-
ance of Sunday, Holy Day, and also
see that laws are not enacted by the
Maryland Legislature which will destroy
the sancity of the day.
'The General Assembly of Maryland
of 1916 had seven bills introduced pro-
posing to modify our Sunday law.
81. The Griebel and Distler Bills legal
izing the general delivery of ice in Balti-
timore City on the Lords Day, The leg
islature protected the hard worked ice
men in their right to Sunday as rest
udy ny ucledIiliR DoIu Ulilo'
%. The Herpich Bill, legalizing Sun
day selling of certain Injuries by four
classes of dealers, was introduced as a
statewide measure. Every political
unit in the state asked to be exempted
except Talbot and Allegany counties.
By Monday, March it was quite evident
the Talbot delegation had herad from
"the folks at home," and they asked to
have Talbot exempted. Herpich's Bill
then ceased to be statewide and became
local, applying only to Allegany with
Delegate Smith against it.
Delegate Duke. of Baltimore, elected
to the Legislature from the First Legis-
ative District, but living in the Third,
introduced three bills to modify our Sun
day law, but all three were defeated.
They were as follows:
"A bill to license Sunday Moving Pict-
ures. The Ways and Means Committee,
after hearing, ordered an unfavorable
report on Tuesday, March %. but it was
never reported to the House of Dele
gates.
"A bill to license Sunday business for
those who keep as their Sabbath some
other day than the Lords Day. The City
Delegation, through its chairman, Mr.,
Lee, after hearing, reported this bill
unfavorably. The adoption of this re-
port by the House defeated the bill.
"Mr. Dukes third BILL legalizing Sun
day Brass Bands with military organiza-
tions died in the Senate Committee on
Militia
These gentlemen will speak in Walk
ersville Saturday evening of this week.
Early Sunday morning they will be in
Woodsboro, and in Thurmont at TO- 80.
Sunday afternoon and evening they will
visit churches in Emmitsburg and vicini-
ty. Everybody is urged to attend these
services.

throughout the State, the vote cast was
very small. This in measure was be-
cause the farmers are very busy at this
season and would not leave their work.
No great effort was made to get them to
the pools and those who voted were
principally those close to the pollroom.
Not quite half the registered voters of
the district voted, the number being BIT.

DOGS ROB CHILDREN OF FOOD
Ten Million Pets, Including Cats, Heavy Drain on Great Britain
 in War Time.

At this crisis, when economy in ev- cry possible way is not matter of choice but of national necessity. cor respondent in the London Globe sea gonably draws attention to the waste of money upon dogs, that paper says, and continues.
 "In the piping times of peace it may be merely matter of private choice whether anyone keeps a pet animal, although then he must take care that it does not become a public or private nuisance in the public streets or con veyances, in hotels or private houses. Now, under the pressure of war, the pampering of these animals actually means robbing the children of their food
 Ut is estimated that 10.00o,000 dogA and cats are kept in England, and they consume an amount of food whiNh would maintain 5,000,000 children. That is leakage of national resources

INCOME TAX UPHELD
 BY SUPREME COURT
CHIEF JUSTICE WHITE HELD TAX IS NOT UNcoNsTITU.
 TlONAG.
DECISION WAS UNANIMOUS
Denies There Was Lack of Merit Be- cause Previoss Decisions Which Determined Clause Exacts Only
 Geographical Uniformity.

Washington-The Supreme Court upheld.the constitutonality of the in come tax law.
 Chief Justice White announced the decision in the case of Frank R. Bur shaber. stockholder of the Union Pa, cifc railroad, who sought to enjoin the company from paying the tax on the ground that it was unconstitu- tional
 Most of Justice Whites opinion was taken up in declaring without merit the contention that the income tax amendment provided hitherto unknown power of taxation. He held the tax is not unconstitutional because it is retroactive
 The argument that the law is uneon- stitutional because labor agricultur- al and such organizations are exempt the chief justice held, is answered by decisions under the corporation tax law. He said the tax is imposed un- der power recognized to exist from the beginning of the government and thus decisions defining the taxing power previously rendered are appli- cable
 Grouping other contentious against the law, all based on the clause of the constitution requiring uniformity In taxation, Chief Justice White pro- nounced them all lacking n merit be- cause of previous decisions which de- termined the clause exaets only geo. graphical uniformity.
 The group included the contentious that the law lacks uniformity be- cause it:
 Levies one tax on incomes of indi- vduals up to $20,000 and a higher rate on incomes above that amount. allows a greater exemption for mar ried persons than single ones and bases the tax on wealth alone:
 Because it requires corporations, at great expense, to perform the govern ment's work without compensation, of collecting at the source;
 Because individuals are allowed to deduct from gross income dividends paid them by corporations, but corpo- rations are not allowed to make such deductions.
 Because individuals whose income is less than S20,O00 are allowed to de- duct $3,00O or S4,000, but those areeeiv- ing more than $20.000 not allowed to make such deductions second time for the additional tax;
 Because greater deductions are al lowed man and wife living together than those living separately;
 Because owners of houses in which they live are not compelled to estimate the rental value in making up their in- comes, while those living in rented houses and paying rent are not allow ed to deduct rent

Up to the time of the introduction of balsa wood, the scientific name of which is Ochroma lagopus, Missouri tree was believed to be the lightest wood grown. This is the corkwood, otherwise Leitneria fioridana Balsa wood weighs only about a third as much as Missouri corkwood, however. Cypress is four times as heavy. Maple weighs six times, hickory nearly eight times, and ebony more than ten times as much as balsa wood. Prof. John c.
