FOR WIDER USE OF SCHOOLS.

Annapolis, Feb. 22.-The agitation
that has been going on for several
years for a wider use of public pro-
perry, especially schoolhouses, cul-
minated today in the introduction by
Senator Frick of two bills to make
such wider use possible.
One of the bills simply authorizes
the Mayor and City Council OF Balti-
more to use public property belong
ing to the city for any public pur-
pose which will not materially inter-
fere with the use of such property for
the purpose for which it was princi-
pally designed.
The other bill is statewide in its
scope. 1t authorizes the use of pub
lie schoolhouses or other public build
ings as polling or registration places.
1t provides that when the Board of
Estimates of the city or The county
commissioners of any county request
the Supervisors of Elections to use a
room in any school or other public
building for registration or polling
places it shall be the duty of the
Supervisors of Elections to do SO.
The stipulation is added that any
room set apart for such purposes shall
be located either upon the first floor
or the basement of the building des-
ignated if it has basement.

Some Rig Train.

The Western Maryland railroad is al
ways doing things little better and on
a bigger scale to provide for the moving
of freight and accommodation of the
travelling public. Recently freight
train went through Thurmont east con-
sisting of 65 loads coal and merchandise.

passing this place, the mountain grade

Current In High School.


That there will be light in our High
School Building is now assured. All dur
ing the winter the janitor, Mr.. Charles
Knott, was obliged to use oil lamps to
see to do his work before and after
school hours. T e principal, Mr.. II. D,
Beachley. and students who come and go
to school and home on the west bound
w. M. train and remained in the build
ing until train time, also used oil lamps.
For several weeks fixtures have been
placed In the building for electric light
ing, but not until Monday were there any
wires to carry the current from the street
to the building. MIR. Vincent O'Toole
strung the wire and made the necessary
connections.
To get the current into the building
necessitated the planting of four poles,
and the erection of a new transformer
on the line.
The large fan which is to force the
warm air from the furnaces into the
heretofore cold rooms, has been put in
position, and also the electric motor
which will drive the fan.
1t is now thought that no further
trouble will be experienced in heating
any part of the building.

"AerOplanes and motors" Mr.. Haw-
ley continued, have reached the point
in efficiency where it is possible to
employ them for. exploration in the
arctic region. Special aeroplanes can
be built equipped with two motors,
so that one motor will fly the machine
if the other should stop, with a cabin
body to protect the pilot from the ele-
ments. The cabin would be warmed
by warmed by the exhaust from the
motor and the pilot can travel in
comfort at speed which can be as
high as 100 miles an hour. AS Cap

Captain Anundsen said that he did
not expect to have any trouble with
the aeroplane in the Arctic regions
on account Of the intense cold and
would either take an aviator with
him or train one Of his crew to fly.
In referring to the discovery of
Croker Land, reported by Rear Ad-
miral Robert E. Peary, which could
not be found by the Mcmillan expedi-
ton later, the Captain said that he
believed the land myth. He did not
question the faith Of the Admiral,
but what he had reported was nothing
more than mirage.
"Peary was not there to discover
land" he continued, "or explore it.
He had another purpose in view and
did not turn aside to investigate what
appeared to be land, but held to the
main object Of his expedition"
