 This is the announcement' of tn of the outdoor celebration of the Feast of our Lady of Mt. Car mel, issued through the local healtl today:
 Owing to the extensive out
 break of infantile paralysis now
 prevailing in the City of New
 York, Health Commissioner Elmer son has conferred with prominent
 Italian clergy and laity regarding the celebrations ordinarily held in
 connection with the Feast of Our
 Lady of Mt. Carmel.
 In the opinion of the health
 authorities these celebrations con
 stituteN a grave source of danger and would undoubtedly serve to
 spread the disease. The commis-
 sioner of health has, therefore, de-
 cided not to allow any of the
 usual O0taOOA OCASorA S0SA4
 as parades, concerts, street vend-
 ing, etc. Parents are warned. to
 be extremely careful and to limit
 their observance of this feast by
 attendance at the religious ser
 vices held within the churches.
 The Catholic church authorities
 have promised to cooperate in
 every way to see that these orders
 are carried out. A copy of this
 announcement is being sent to
 Italian newspapers in other states
 SO as to prevent, as far as possi-
 bIe, the pilgrimage of out of town
 delegations who ordinarily have
 participated in the celebrations in
 this city.
 The commissioners of health in
 this city are taking the same atti-
 tude with reference to the gather
 ings for this festival and are drg-
 ing the clergy to immediately take
 steps to help enforce the measure.

New Issue OF Halves, Quarters, Dimes

Dimes, quarters and haIf-dollars of
new design will be minted after July
/, Secretary McAdoo recently an
nounced. For the first time since
1891 change will be effected in these
pieces.
The announcement disclosed that
the half-dollar has fallen practically
into disuse. The new design was Sc
lected with hope of restoring it to
more general circulation. Under the
new coinage each piece will be of dir
ferent design. The half-dollar and
dime models were made by Adolph A.
Weinman and the quarter dollar by
Herman A. MacNeil, both sculptors of
note.
The face of the new half dollar
bears full length figure of liberty,
with background of the American
flag flying to the breeze. The god
dess is striding toward the dawn of
new day, carrying laurel and oak
branches, symbolic of civil and mill
tary glory. The reverse side shows
Az eagle perched high upon a noun
tain crag wings unfolded. Growing
from a rift in the rock is a sapling of
mountain pine, symbolic of America.

The Roadside Tree Law

At its last legislative session the
Maryland General Assembly enacted
an Amendment to the States Road
side Tree Law as passed by the pre-
Vious Legislature. This amendment
carried a minor modification of the
Statewide Law that trees belonging
within public rights of-way shall be
handled as such, not cut down or in
Discriminatory trimmed to satisfy the
within of anyone who happens to OBJ
whether the objector were the abut-
ting householder. a professional trim
mer, or someone whose wires were in
the way of the trees.
The exception states THAT trees
standing within the right Of
UNIMPROVED public roads which
have not been surfaced with either
stone, shell, gravel, concrete. brick,
asphalt, or other IMPROVED sur
face may be cut down and removed by
the abutting landowner FOR HIS
OWN USE without first obtaining a
permit" This message, taken yer
batim from the law, defines clearly
and exactly the only change made by
the Legislature of 1916 since it's pas
sage by the body of 1914. This ex-
ception was inserted at the instance Of
the Board of Forestry. which must
enforce the law.
Since the enactment of this meas
ure practically the only objection dis
interestedly raised by anyone who has
witnessed it in application has occur
red over the protection accorded trees
shading unimproved highways. These
latter, of course, seldom traverse the
most populous districts, being in con-
sequence not heavily travelled and
their appearance more a matter of
local than general concern. People
residing beside them must therefore
look to their appearance. and the
amendment places the trees of the
abutting landowner altogether in his
hands, for his own use. The trees lin
ing such roads are very frequently of
nearly valueless specimens and spec
les, often as we'll being so placed
along the narrow roads that OCCASION
ally they interfere with the opera
lions of adjoining farmers.
Those favoring greater latitude in
the governing of these particular con-
ditions. REINFORCED in certain cases
by others who for other reasons wish
ed also to have the bars let down,
variously advanced and advocated
number of revisions and exceptions
which were impractical to a greater
or less degree, some of them applying
only IN one county, some in one or
two others. When these had for the
greater part been dropped, those who
had originally interested themselves
IN securing the Roadside Tree Law
for the State decided that the above
given modification of this Act most
nearly met the sieuation from all
sides. safely and satisfactorily.
This change cannot detract in the
slightest from the proper shading of
largely travelled, improved highways,
though at the same time it gives to
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1916-06-10

such landowners as may have properly
rights alongside unimproved highways
authority to themselves remove forth
with any offending shade trees, FOR
THEIR OWN USE. At the same time
the public, along any roadway-im-
proved or unimproved, macadamized
or dirt-will continue to be thorough
ly protected in the matter of it's shade
trees from the operations of persons,
not the owners, who for personal rea-
sons might destroy or damage public
shade trees.
This is slight change in a modern,
constructive piece of legislation, pass
ed for the good of the State as
whole, enforced since it's enactment for
the direct welfare of the public. This
amendment will be further aid to its
more general understanding, enforce
ment and benefits.

even those who believe in it most
heartily understand that it has not
the slightest chance of being adopted.
No National leader in any political

pressure of actual invasion could

In the first four elections for presi-

number of votes was declared presi-

largest number of votes was declared

a president and vice president were
voted for separately and an amend
ment to the Constitution provided that
the president and vice president could
not be elected from the same state. To
insure an election a candidate for
president or vice president must have
a majority of all the electoral votes
cast, otherwise the election for Dresi-
dent would be thrown into the house
of representatives by states, each
state having one vote, and for vice
president into the senate.
