Coliseum theatre on Tuesday and
Wednesday. This marks Miss Cor
don's third appearance on the World
program, and is by far the greatest
picture in which she has yet appeared.
Her part gives her the opportunities
to show that she is an accomplished
actress, and the manner in which she
executes her difficult roles proves her
to be we'll versed in dramatic con-
struction and able to perform the
most delicate and intricate roles with
the utmost ease, grace and charm.
Besides her splendid work throughout
the five reels, she has occasion to
wear clothes such as she is SO noted
for. AS a whole, her work in THE
Crucial Test" is an achievement of
which any star may we'll be proud.

MOTOR CAR
A Years Growth in Good Will

A Years Growth in Good Will
A year ago this time Dodge Brothers enjoyed an en-
viabe reputation as manufacturers OF very large
volume Of motor car parts.
This reputation aroused extraordinary expectations
on the part of the public when was announced that
they would build motor car. Thousands of dealers
were eager to represent them. Thousands of orders
were placed by individual buyers.
But as manufacturers of motor cars Dodge Brothers
were still on trial at the bar of public opinion.
The car as car was an unknown quantity.
In January, 1915, few of the cars began to be ship
ped from the factory; and few individual good
opinions began to be formed
The growth of this volume of good opinion was in the
exact ratio, at first, to the growth of the volume of
production.
But not many weeks had passed before the reputation
Of the Car outstripped the capacity to produce.
The good news Of its performance travelled faster
than the supp Yin sixty days time there was
waiting list in all parts of the country.
Substantially the same state of affairs has existed ev
er SINCE and exists today spite of largely increased
production.
There is very pronounced and definite public opin-
ion now in this country concerning Dodge Brothers
car.
Nearly every man or woman you meet has cear-cut
idea Of the kind Of car it is.
How friendly and how favorable that idea is you
probably know so we'll that is not necessary to go
into details
In twelve months time, the American people have
boug ht more than thirty five million dollars worth of
Dodge Brothers Motor Cars.
This is notable record for one year even in an in
dustry which has been marked by many amazing
achievements. For first year, it stands absolutely
unique and alone.
But the sales growth, to our way of thinking is as
nothing in Importance, compared to the growth Of
very favorable public opinion concerning the merits
of the car.
This phase of the years work is very gratifying to
Dodge Brothers and to their representatives every
where.
1t goes without saying that Dodge
Brothers will anything
permit anything to be done which
might jeopardize the standing OF the

A USEFUL INSTITUTION.

As will be seen by Advertisement
elsewhere in the INDEPENDENT, the
fourteenth session Of the MrD lnough
Institute, La Plaza, Maryland, will
begin on ) ptember 18th. The
school is conducting four courses Of
instruction: English, Commercial,
Teachers Training and Agricn't ural.
In all Of the departments will be
found excellent teachers, aud the
school is offering all the advantages
Of many II the much older institu-
tons. The best testimonial 10 the
worth of a school is he record Of its
graduates 10 their chosen hte's work,
aud 10 their examinations Tor entrance
to higher institutions Of learning and
Civil Service positions. In this re-
specl the sch ,ol has an enviable re-
cord.
The McDonough Institute has
proved great benefit to the people
OF the County, Unlike many of the
Counties of the State, We have no
high school, and until the oiganiza-
ton Of McDonough, the average citi-
zen had to depend entirely upon the
public schools for their children
education, not being Of sufficient
means to send them to the more ex-
pensive institutions. And it is right
here that the McDonough's useful.
ness Is more particularly felt There
is available at the school for the stu
dent who has the capacity aud will
inguess fri work, an excellent train
ing that will fit him or her for
most successful lite's work,
sIch as the public schools,
with all their usefu ness, coul not

That the McDonough Institute is
being thoroughly appreciated is
shown by the excellent progress Of
the scinol. Its enrolment is con.

has but begun.

The law passed by the last Legis.
lature requiring new assessment Of
property in the Counties of the State
was declared invalid by the Frederick
County Court in an opinion handed
down by the Court du ing tie week
in a bill Of complaint filed by two
prominent Frederick merchants
The Court was unanimous in its
opinion, it being signed by all three
judges. There will be an appeal to
the Court of Appeals, which will be
requested to hold a special sitting
and TO hand down decision as early
a. possible in order that the proposed
reassessnent may begin BY Septem-
Der In, if the Tax Commiss on is
finally upheld. The Court bases its
opinion upon the fact that the Leg
isIature, by the Act of 1916, has
sought to delegate 10 the State Tax
Comm sion The whole duty Of for
initiating uniform plan of assess
ment, contrary to recent AmeGd-
meni to the Constitution declaring
that the General Assembly shall, by
uniform rules provide for separate
assessment and classification.

snou HAVE A ME uURIAL

The main project of building the
State road system as originally
planned has been auout completed,
and our rublic highways in Maryland
nov equal or surpass those in most Of
the States Of the country. As is
well known, the credit for the elegant
system is due the late Governor
Crothers. 1t was be who inaugu-
rated he idea, and worked it into a
feasible proposition. He gave an
imme SO lot of time, thought and
energy to the work, but did not live
to see Il task fully accomplished or
to Ell ~ the benefits therefrom -
Governor Crothers was a man Of
wonderful praciesl business sense.
In this undertaking the amount Of
business ability and Efficiency dis
played was .raordinary. He never
SCENE to tire in his efforts TO make
the roads credit to the State, which
has been the actual result of the work
begun by him.
1t would seem, therefore, that some
thing lasting should be done to com
memorate the good work of the man
in the minds Of the people. There
should be Crothers memorial The
road ), stem itself stands as a monu-
ment to his memory, but with the
passing of the present generation and
in the natural course of events this
will pass on into oblivion. Especial
ly should the pc pie of this section
take an interest in the matter. Gov
ernor Crothers was a real friend OF
Southern Mary land. He was fond
of our people and section and showed
it many times by his interest 10 all
public matters pertaining TO us and by
his presence here OF, many occasions.
Whi'c, Of course, what we may do
in matter of this kind could be Of
no benefit to him, as "howers placed
on the &C fin cast no fragrance back
ward over life's cary way" yet the
memory Of his good work woald be
perretuated in the minds of the peo-
pie, aud would stand as an. iaspira-
ton 10 better things on the part Of
those who must follow after US.
We trust, therefore, that some Of
our good Soutl EN- Maryland friends
viii take TIE initiative and formulate
some fitting tribute to bis memory.
