DUVALL INTENDS TO
AMEND OFFICE BILL.
Local Senator Will Not Press
Action On State Office Build
ing This Session.

Senator Duvall's bill to provide for
a state office building is not going to
be pressed by the Anne Arundel mem
Der of the upper house this session.
The Anne Arundel Senator has deter
mined not to fight for a 100000 ap-
preparation to erect a building in
this city from funds to be obtained
during the 1918 meeting of the As
sembly, but will instead, have a COM
mission appointed to look into the
whole question of bringing the head
quarters of the various state boards
and departments to the shores of the
Severn.
This Commission will be given
power to look over sites in Annapolis
investigate the proposition of pres
ent expenditures for office rental in
Baltimore City, as compared to the
ultimate cost if state building were
erected here. The announcement
that he would not fight for an appro-
priation but would amend his bill to
provide for a thorough investigation
with report to the next General As
sembly two years hence was made by
Senator Duvall today.

Patrick Henry, and there has not been

this crisis this battle for democracy

For life and death.
For woe and veal,
Grid thy beauteous limbs with steel,

A highly pleasing feature of the
musical program was the songs of the
Allies-Rule Brittania, La Marseillaise
and Americas Message. A note of
cheer and gladness was given the
program by the singing of Pack up
your troubles in your old kit bag and
smile, smile, smile" In this Mrs.
Lows charming personality was most
marked, and her novel method in
handling the chorus, her skill and
tact were given full play. Mrs. Low is
a genius, and it is safe to say she has
no superior in her line of work in
training boys and girls in music and
in community singing, and certainly
few, if any, equals.
Prof. H. c. Washburn gave an in

Of Baltimore.

per Room" He told in graphic
way of that Upper Room used as
the best guest chamber at homes in
Jerusalem, the lower hall room being
the usual guest room. A man whose
name is not mentioned in the Holy
Scrii lures, offered his Upper Room"
for the use of Our Saviour upon His
visit during Holy Week to Jerusalem,
and in this room the Lord talked with
His Disciples, on Maundy Thursday
night when He instituted the Lord
Supper of Holy Communion.
DR.. Persons gave a vivid account of
his visit to Jerusalem with party of
tourists during Holy Week and how
they went into the Upper Room and
had prayer and read the scriptural
account of the occasion when our
Lord was there He emphasized the
Importance of giving our very best to
Christ as this man had done by Of
fering the upper room instead of the
hall guest chamber.
Tonight the second of the Holy
Week services will be held in the
Presbyterian Church and DR.. Persons
will talk on In The Garden" Tomor-
row nights subject will be: "At Pi-
late's Judgment Seat"

some to Stoekmen In Different
Parts Of Country.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agrtculture)
Both the so-called screw-wOrm and
the blow-fiy larvae commonly called
maggots, are pests Of prime importance
to stock raisers. The screw-worm Is
often confused with the other species,
especially during the spring and fall
months. Injury to live stock from mag
gots is more widespread than is that
due to the true screw-worm. In fact,
this maggot injury may be found
among live stock in any state Of the
Union, although 1t occurs most FREE
Quently in the warmer portions OF the
country. The true screw-worm inf1lcts
enormous losses on the stock raisers
of Texas. Oklahoma. New Mexico, Ari.
zona, and southern California during
seasons which are favorable for Its
development. During the warmer por-
tions Of the year it is never entirely
absent from this region and may also
cause injury to stock in the other
Southern states, and as far north as
Nebraska.
The screw-worm Is a native Of the
Americas and has been causing trou-
BILE to stockmen for many years. No
doubt it is largely due to this fact
that cattlemen accept the pest as q
necessary evil and always count upon
"doctoring" a certain number of cases
every year.
The seasonal abundance Of the
screw.worm fly depends largely upon
climatic conditions. The first ap-
pearance of adults in numbers In
spring varies from the first of April
to the middle of June, according to the
latitude and earliness or lateness Of the
season. Throughout most of the ter.

to smell the tar and oakum and feel

The chief sea scout has introduced
a new note into scouting-the idea of
giving every scout definite Job with
definite duties. Under his system there
lect of the shovel. Every scout does
his part of the work and together they
do 1t all-whether 1t is launching a
boat or cooking a meal.
AS in the navy, every scout in the
boat will have a specially and rating
based on that specially. He will have
certain gear in his charge and will re-
ceive special instruction In the han
ding and the care OF the same.
1t is not absolutely necessary that
there shall be water In or near a town
where the sea scouts are to be organ
