To Examine Auto Drivers.

Authority from the General Assembly
to impose an examination on all appli-
cants for motor-vehicle driving licenses
with charge of so cents for each exam
ination will be sought by State Automo-
bile Commissioner Baughman. The lat
Ter declares that such examinations are
now necessary, but that he is without
power to impose any charges for such
work, which would lay prohibitive bur-
den on the states taxpayers under pres
ent conditions.
By placing a charge for examinations,
however. the commissioner pointed out
that sufficient revenues could be obtained
to defray the expenses of several special
automobile deputies to be appointed pure
ly for examining purposes. An instance
of the heavy work such tests would inn
pose on the commissioner force is shown
by the fact that 1896 drivers and LIS
chauffers' liscenses were issued by the
Maryland office during the month of April
last. To have conducted examinations
would have required the services of a
deputy for 80 minutes for each individ-
uel, or a total of l,7S7 hours during the
month. For this work the services OF
six deputies working practically IL hours
during 26 working days of the month
would have been necessary.

The current year of the Frederick Art

met in Seminary Hall to hear talk by
Madame Dexter, Of the Hood College
Faculty. The combination of song illus
tration of the Boston musicians work,

Hall, which was closed with the singing
of the Star Spangled Banner, Miss Flor
ence Doub invited the audience to the
Art Club rooms, where business meet
ing was held and refreshments served.
The secretary's report for the year

Anna Thomas gave an interesting ac-
count of her visit as delegate to the con-
vention of the Federation of Women's
Clubs held in Baltimore recently, and re-
turned her expenses to the Club, with
the request that they be given to the
Red Cross fund. A book of clippings
collected by Miss Nellie CARROT during
her five years term as secretary of the
Club was presented by Mrs. Garrett.
The program for next years meetings,
american Art and Its Origin, was an
nounced by Mrs. j. D. Hendrickson,
chairman of the program committee.
Fruit sherbert, cakes, marshmallows
and mints were served, carrying out a
color scheme of pink and white. The
rooms were artistically decorated with
lilacs. Those who served: Mrs. William
T. Delaplane. Mrs. R. E. Town, Misses
Helen Smith, Ethel Fitzpatrick, Annie
B. Kemp, and Misses Mary Fleming and
Helen Creager, both of Hood College.

The Face You Left Back Home.

As YOU study different features
While 'er this earth you roam;
You cannot find one feature
Exactly like the one back home.
Her face is ever with you
If on sea or land you roam;
And no smiles are quite SO pretty
As those you left at home.
That face is always waiting,
When you return at night;
And she asks you very anxious
If business has been bright.
She can read you like letter,
And if you eyes lack joy;
Her arm will steal around you
With-"What's the trouble, Boy!
Your sorrow is her sorrow
And your joy is her delight;
As she guides you ever onward
In the path of truth and right.
You may wonder Ger this planet
Counting faces as you roam;
But you'll never find feature
That will match the one back Home.
