AS there are many foods that can
not be properly cooked in water. the
modern caloric cookstove was invent
ed, so that now baking and roasting
may be done as well as stewing and
boiling. The metal compartments
with the steatites or stones for heat
ing hold the heat for the desired
baking or roasting.
The following dishes may be pre-
pared and cooked in the fireless cook
er. You may go to town and do your
shopping. make call or spend the af-
ternoon with friend, or go to church
on Sunday and your meal will go right
on cooking as we'll as if you were
there.

half of mutton, cut in small pieces,
brown two onions, sliced, in two ta-
blespoonfuls of butter. Add the meat,

Uncle Sam reports that North Caro-

Chihuahua City, Mex, June S.-An
anti-American riot, melted by a mass
meeting to protest against the con-
tinued presence of American troops in
Mexican territory, was put down here
by the military, after a demonstra-
ton had been made against the Amer
lean consulate and stones hurled at
the Foreign Club, in the belief that
it was an American institution.
The meeting was a protest against
prospective American Intervention, as
well as against the presence of the
punitive force, called for the Centen-
nial theater, but the theater proved
too small to contain the crowd, so
that an overflow meeting was held
later in the Alameda, near the Amer
ican consulate. There various orators
continued their speeches of protest.
The crowd snatched the consulate
signs, which were later recovered by
the police.
After the trouble commenced, Gen.
Lopez arrived on the scene with troops
and placed a strong guard around the
consulate. The mob then contented
itself with throwing few stones at
the Foreign Club. Later, when the
club was in darkness, some of the
rioters returned and broke more glass.
Columbus, N. M.-An American
truck driver attached to train No. 13,
under Capt. Tobins, was shot and
killed in the Mexican town of Ell Vale
on the night of June 8, according to
reports received here. The persons
bringing the story back with them
from Mexico said the driver. whose
name was unknown to them, absented
himself from the train without leave
and entered the town against orders
They also said the body was inferred
at Colonia Dublan and an investiga'
tion ordered into the death.
San Antonio.-Two troops of the
Fourteenth cavalry left Laredo to pa.
troll the Rio Grande near San Ignacio
and Zapata to prevent, il possible, a
raid by Luis de la Rosa and 400 fol
lowers reported moving toward the
border. 1t was reported that troops
from Fort Ringgold also are being
moved up the 1.,er in the direction OF
Zapata.

Smoot Assails McAdoo Figures

Senator Smoot. of Utah. the most
active republican of the FinanceCom-
mlttee, bitterly assails the statement
issued by Secretary McAdoo as to the
finances of the country and the steps
that would be taken to provide funds
for the defense program Mr.. Smoot
refer ed briefly TO the new sources of
revenue mentioned by Mr.. McAdoo.
saying he did not think they would
n.iSh what Mr.. McAdoo hoped.
The Senator devoted himself to the
accuracy of Mr.. McAdoo's figures,
which he said resulted from a desper-
ate effort at jugglery to show that the
treasury was not now virtually bank
rupt.
Instead of the $12O,OOO,0OO which
McAdoo gave as the net general bal.
ance in the Treaeury, Mr.. Smoot sad
that under the old accepted methods
of book -keeping there would be only
about $3,000,000 This discrepancy
said the Senator, arose from Mr.. Nc
Adoo's new system of bookkeeping, by
which he increased the general bal
ance by including as assets funds
credited to disbursing officers, the
bank note redemption fund and other
items heretofore regarded as liabil-
ties. The deficit accruing under the
Democratic Administrations down to
November |. he said was 100000
without the expenditure of an addi-
tlonal penny upon the national de-
lenses.
Mr.. Smoot ridicu!ed Mr.. McAdoo's
estimate of the new revenues to be
provided. Instead of the $4,000 an
nounced by Mr.. McAdoo, Mr.. Smoot
holds that it will be nearer $300,0 00,.
900 and that the bookkeeping in the
Treasury Department will not be able
to seave off an issue of bonds much
later than the elections. After that

Makes School Attendance Compulsory

With the State Federation of Won.
ems clubs, the Cnlld Labor Committee
the county superintendent of school.
and pracIlcally every organization in
the State interested in educationa
matters lined up behind it. State
wide compulsory school attendance
law, making an attendance of 100 con-
secutlve school days mandatory, will
be one of the important bills presented
at the coming session of the Legisla-
ture.
The bill has been drawn up through
the cooperation of the committee on
education of the State Federation and
the child labor and compulsory school
attendance committee, to replace the
Old school attendance law, optional in
II counties, eXempting six other coun-
ties and requiring only four months
of schooling. In the six counties ex-
empted from the law 1926 children
were out of school last year. In the
entire State 42,088 white children were
out of school and 14,500 colored child
rem; in other words, there are APP
proXimately three illiterate white chill
dren in the State to every illiterate
negro child
The four months of school attend
ance required by the old law is not ex-
clusively for the holidays. Under this
arrangement the four months average
less than 80 consecutive days of
schooling for the child who may begin
the school year as late as February, IL
he likes. The new law will resuire
that the 100 consecutive school DAYS
begin not later than the first of No
vember and will wipe out the exemp-
tons and options on the law maing it
statewide and mandatory
Eighteen of the 90 superintendent
of the county public schools have writ
ten to Mrs Edward F. Buchner. chair
man of the committee on education of
the State Federation, expressing their
intention to wor for the passage of the
bill to the extent of their ability. Miss
Caroline Wilson. field secretary of the
labor and compulsory school at
tendance committee, is at present be-
ing sent all over the state working up
public sentiment in favor of the State
wide law through public meetings and
interviews with delegates to the Leg
islature.
1t has not yet been decided who will
present the bill in the Legislature.
The bill will be introduced early in the
session and will precipitate one of the
most holly contested fights of recent
years. Those who are backing the bill
are confident that the figures showing
the large number of illiterate children
in the State and the fact that Mary
land ranks thirty-second among the 49
States in the percentage of illterate
native whites 10 years of age and over
will force the passage of the State
wide compulsory education law.

THE SOLUTION NOT EASY

There is no blinking the fact that
right here in this community. there is
a strong demand for some change in
the marriage laws of this State which
will do away with the disgraceful and
disgusting performances which have
been going on here ever since Elkton
attained it's unhappy notoriety as n
"Gretna Green" The trouble about
effecting anything really practical and
helpful in the way of legislation is:
First, that the law must of course
be a Statewide law. and there is no
such feeling about the matter in 9th II
quarters of the State as exists here,
because other sections of the State
have not suffered from our experience.
Second, when it comes right down to
the business of framing a law on the
subject, hardly any :wo persons can
be found to agree as to what sort Of n
law ought to be passed.
We would certainly be only too glad
see something done to relieve the
situation, and in the above statement
are only pointing out the difficulties to
be faced.
Meanwhile we continue to empha-
size our contention that the ministers
themselves land the churches which
retain the ministers) could do more
than anybody else to relieve the mos
offensive aspects of the problem.

Decisions OF Supreme Court OF The
United States As To Newspaper
Subscriptions

Few readers of newspapers fully
and clearly understand the laws gov
erning subscriptions. Following are
the decisions of the Supreme Court of
the United States on the subject:
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered
as wishing to renew their subscrip-
tions.
If subscribers order a discontinue
ance of their periodicals the publisher
may continue to send them until all
dues are paid.
If the subscriber refuses to take the
periodical from the postoffice to which
they are directed. he is responsible I'M
til he has settled his bill and ordered
the paper discontinued
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher, and
the papers are sent to the former ad-
dress. the subscriber is held respon-
sible.
The courts have held that refusing
to take periodicals from the postoffice,
or removing and leaving them uncall-
ed for is primafacie evidence of in
tention to defraud.
If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice at the end of
the time if they do not wish to con-
tinue taking it, otherwise the publisher
is authorized to send it and the sub
scriber will be responsible until ex
press notice with payment of all ar
rearages is sent to the publisher.

THE DAY OF RECKONING AT
HAND

The legislature, which is soon to as
semble, which, as usual, is Democratic
in both branches, will, as Job says Of
man. be full of trouble. And this time
it is trouble that cannot be lodged
nor hidden away in the cold-storage
boxes. 1t is trouble which, according
to the expert auditors report has been
in cold storage for some time-trouble
which has been accommodating through
five or six legislative sessions and
which now comes into the open in the
shape of a S1,500,000 deficit, with the
prospect of 100000 shortage be-
fore the end of 1916. The auditors re-
marks: eve trust we have made il
evident that the time has now come
to stop this wildcat financing in the
State of Maryland" The Goodnow
Commission will send in it's report
soon after the session opens, and that,
too. according to the reasonable eXpec-
tations, will be loaded up with trouble;
but not the undodgeable kind of trou-
BILE that is involved in that 81 100000
deficit. Previous Democratic legisla-
lures have cold-stored reports of re-
form commissions and the legislature
which will assemble next week, can,
by an easy juggle, avoid real compli-
ance with the recommendations of the
Budget and Economy Committees.
But the $2,000,000 deficit, as an emf
nent Democrat once remarked of
national treasury deficit, is fact and
not a theory. To square the book and
wipe off the results of wildcat financ-
ing that extended through decade or
so another big loan must be floated-
the 100000 must be raised by Dor
rowing it. The state might sell its
most productive vested asset-the
mortgage on the Northern Central
Railway-for $1,500,000. or. perhaps,
something more than this sum, but,
as the Chase report points out, the
Constitution prohibits the use of capt.
tai funds, such as this, for current
purposes. Not only must the legisla-
ture provide for the financing of the
deficit which has already been created
or which is in immediate prospect, but
provisions must be made for the rails
ing of an increased annual revenue to
provide not alone for gradually liqui-
dating the deficit loan. but for the
avoidance of an annually recurring
deficit if state expenditures are to be
maintained at developed standards.
The Chase report points out that. to
avoid recurring deficits, there must be
an annual increase in state revenues
of $500 600 or. perhaps. SS00.000. If
the legislature can find some large
scheme of saving in state eXpendi-
lures this, of course, will lessen the
SIZE of the necessary enlargement of
the annual revenue.
