LOCAL OPTION TONIGHT
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Legislature Convenes Tonight--An
Important Week for Anne
Arundel.
COUNTY TAXPAYERS


With the reassembling of the Mary
land Legislature here tonight Garrett
county's local option fight will take the
spotlight for what promises to be a
stiff and probably lengthy battle.
This scrap is to be staged in the
House, while on the Senate side of the
corridor the Annexation fight. in which
Baltimore and Anne Arundel counties
are lined up against Baltimore city.
will be the center of attraction
The Garrett county fight in the
House viii be over the unfavorable re-
port by the Temperance Committee on
Delegate Shartzer's bill to prohibit the
manufacture of liquor within Garrett
county. The unfavorable report which
il adopted, means the death of the bill
and the motion of Delegate Shartzer TO
have the bill substituted for the REPORT
will be the parliamentary condition of
the matter when the question comes up
as a special order at $50.
In the Senate the annexation fight
centers about the reference to com
mittee of the Field-Furst bill intro
duced last Friday by President Camp
bell but not yet referred TO any COM
mittee. The contention is being made
by Senator Duvall backed by Senator
Allen, of Baltimore county, that. as the
bill provides for the annexation of
part of this county to the city. Senator
Duvall should be member of the com
mittee which considers the measure.
The bill will probably be referred to
the Judiciary Committee. of which Sen
ator Duvall, of this county. will be an
additional member Just for its CON
sideration
The week promises to be a rather
important one from the standpoint of
Anne Arundel county in a legislative
way. There will be held tomorrow
hearing upon Delegate Linthicum's bill
to repeal the plant exemption law un-
der which so many big manufacturing
concerns in the Fifth district are es-
Gaping their just due of taxation.
Also there is to be another meeting
tomorrow of the County Taxpayers to
finally ratify the proposed legislation
recommended by tho, subcommittee
appointed some weeks ago. This will
take place in the Court House during
the morning. Following this meeting
of the taxpayers it is expected that the
necessary bills to accomplish the
needed reforms will be drafted and
handed to the Senator and Members
from this county for passage through
the General Assembly.

The Annapolis Boy Scouts began the

tor, DR. Joseph p. McComas. on "Ded-
ication OF Strength" Forty Scouts

Scout songs will be sung and there
viii be short addresses by Dr. Walter
G. MCNEIL and Prof 5. S. Handy
In his sermon yesterday. Dr. McCo-
mas showed thorough acquaintance
with the principles and ideals of the
Boy Scout organization and impressed
upon his hearers most earnestly that
the law Of heipfulness and service.
which was the foundation of the Scout
organization, was also the law of
Christine keynote of the Christian
religion The recognition given the
Scout movement in England was in
dicated he said by the fact that the
Archbishop OF Canterbury had written
special prayers for the Scouts, and
these prayers were used in the serv-
ice of yesterday.
DR. McComas explained 10 his hear
ers that the highest form of religion
was not the seeking of God in times of
great distress and suffering or when
old age had weakened the passions OF
the body, but in the dedication of
strength and young life to Him in His
service. In an impressive manner. he
called the Scouts attention to the fact
that the obligations which they had
taken upon themselves made il neces-
sary for them to stand ready at all
times to help those about them, that
they were not TO use their strength for
their own pleasure alone. but that they
were TO give the best of it in the sery-
ice of others and OF God
Give and you viii get was "a max
inn which was impressed upon his
hearers and elaborated by Dr.. McCo-
mas. The law of the muscle" he
said, is use and be strong: the law of
mind think and you will be wise: the
law of the heart, love and you will be
loved Serve, and it must follow that
you will grow and viii develop the
best that is in each one of you"

annual destruction of leaves. Nobody

the d. 2. w. to take away. The acrid
smoke of burning leaves is as much an
Indication of autumn as the shortening
of the days. We destroy one of the
best of natures fertilizers, that on
which she relies for the renewal of the
vegetable humus in the soil. A leaf
on the lawn is as much of an eyesore
to the particular housewife as thread
on the rug.
