BY LILY LIKES LOWE
C. H. TAYLOR,
County Agent.


Owing to the inability of the Govern
or of Maryland to be present at pro-
posed mass meeting of the women
section of the State Council of Defense
for January 3rd in Baltimore, this
gathering has been postponed until a
later date. 1t is scheduled to take
place early in the month however.
Despite the rural transportation OBJ
stacle-snow drifted roads-a session
of the council proper was held at the
home of Mrs. Patterson on Friday,
December IA, in College Park. Be-
sides the chairman, Mrs. B. +. Wade,
of Laurel, and secretary of the county
council and Miss Margaret Beall, of
Beltsville, were the members of the
Governors appointed representation in
attendance. Mrs. Guy MeIoy, of Lam
ham, vice chairman of the Volunteer
Service Committee; Mrs. V. K. Chest
nut, of Hyattsville; Mrs. O.. F. Cook,
of Lanham: Mrs. Claude Gilbert; Mrs.
Agnes Klinger. of Riverdale; Mrs.
Fred Mckee, of Riverdale, and Mrs.
Morley of Hyattsville, were others
present.
A new outlook on the county phase
of women in industry during war was
predicted by Mrs. Wade for the COM
mittee on this question, which has not
been so active in the past as the future
years of fighting abroad will necessarily
make it. Mrs. Gilbert, because of her
connection with the welfare of children
in the county schools, was delegated to
act with the Educational Committee in
an inquiry relative to the naming Of a
successor for Mrs. Susan Ward, who
has recently resigned her post as Dem
onstration Agent for the Girls Canning
Clubs and other state instructive
courses. The appointment of Mrs. c.
O. Appleman, of Hyattsville, as vice
! chairman of the Committee on Families
of Soldiers and Sailors, was announced
by the chair.
Among the most encouraging &C

Cook of Lanham. Within week Of

School Board Wins Case.

The Court OF Appeals has reversed
Judge Fillmore Beall in the case of the
Board of Education of Prince George
county against the County Commission
ers, which was mandamus proceed
ing instituted by the Board of Educa-
ton to compel the Commissioners to
state specifically what items IN the
formers budget of expense were cut.
Under the provisions Of an act OF the
Legislature of 1910, the Board of Edu-
cation is required to furnish the County
Commissioners detailed ltemlzed bud
get OF the amount needed tor the
scholastic years I9I7-I9i8 tor school
PURPOSES. The County Comm sSloners
upon receipt of this budget, contended
tuat it did not comply with the law, and
also that they could not reduce or give
the reasons for the reduction OF the
specific items mentioned i'll the budget
because the items were not sufficiently
i'll detail.
The Board of Education thereupon
applied for writ of mandamus to com
pei the County Commissioners to
give the items of the reduction. The
Commissioners answered that the bud
get was not in detail or itemized, and
that to require them to comply with the
Board of Education's request would be
compelling them to state how they were
to exercise discretion, and that the pro
vision of the act requiring this was void
The Board of Education demurred &c
tbs answer.
Judge Beall overruled the demurrer
and sustained the contention of the
County Comm issioners. The Court O.
Appeals, reversing the lower court, sus
tanned the demurrer and remanded thu
the case, directing that the writ of man
dsmus issue as prayed.

> Mrs. L. A. Patterson, 1899 Kentucky
St, Memphis, Tennessee, writes:
II have been q friend Of Peruna
for many years. I have used it off
and on for catarrhal complaints and
found 1t very excellent remedy.
I have a small family Of children.
Times are hard with US, but I can
scarcely afford to do without Peru
ma, especially during the season Of
the year when coughs and colds
are prevalent. We always recon-
mend Peruna to our neighbors, for
the benefit it has been to U.S."
