was doing a trick with an egg At a
given point in the performance he
called upon someone in the audience

stepped out an American soldier, to
whom the coniuror handed the cSg

The soldier seemed to roll it be-

No one was more surprised than the

Theoretically, the best time 10 fire is

Corncobs constitute an enormous

rural communities as fuel. TO some
extent they are ground with the corn
for cattle feed But mostly they rot

EVERY MAN HIS OWN "FIxERp

EVERY MAN HIS OWN "FIxER"
Since the government has sent
agents throughout the country to Sc
cure every available machinist for
war emergency work, 1t is safe pre-
diction that the time is near when
every man or woman running a
pleasure car will be compelled to don
overalls and be their own mechani-
cian-their own "fixer."
(, 1t Is not the intention of the gov
ernment to recruit machinists who
are essential workers in their re-
spective localities, but they want
every available man who is now put
ting In his time mending pleasure
cars, or working in some non-essen-
tial' industry. However, there are
many men today who are running
their cars into garages for repairs
who. II they would only do a little
inspection work about their autos,
would be perfectly capable Of keep
ing their pleasure cars in fair run
ming order. The time is abou. at
hand, apparently, when many car
owners will be compelled to do this.
Many driver has never taken
anything but birds eye" view of
his pet speeder, and who detests to
soil his hands, but the order may
soon be those who ride must work."
It Is a patriotic duty, mechanics who
are not necessarily needed at home

daily. did an immense business during
the month OF June. according to
figures just made public
More than $4,000 pounds of first, sec
ond, third and fourth-elass mail mat
ter was hauled on the routes, for
which the Postohice Department re
ceived nearly $4,000 in postage. The
profit to the Postofiice Department is
around $4,000.
Nearly one-half of the mail matter
handled by the mail mOtortrucks was
parcel-post trafiic-pr produce from the
farmers TO the Baltimore consumers
and goods from the Baltimore mer-
chants to the farmer
"A great variety OF produce and
merchandise is hauled along these
motortruck routes, all sorts of farm
products being carried to the city
markets, and the merchandise pur-
chased in the city being distributed
throughout the rural districts on the
return trip" says a statement given
out by the Postoffice Department.
Shoes, hats and corsets and the
like are received at some of the manu-
featuring points and delivered to the
wholesalers in the cities. Butter,
eggs, chickens. etc, are picked up on
the way by the same trucks. While
certain produce cannot be shipped
through a postofiice under the postal
regulations all kinds Of produce, in
cluding live poultry, are accepted by
the trucks where the delivery can be
made direct by the truck. without nav
ing to go through the postofllce.
A remarkable disparity of local mar
ket prices is shown in the reports
from places along the routes of these
truck lines. This fact is particularly
true regarding points in Maryland and
Virginia.

NEW POLICE PLANS
FOR THE CITY ANNEX
City Must Provide Protection In
Brooklyn And Curtis Bay Sections
OF Anne Arundel

Now that annexation has become q
reality and there is no practical
promise of further opposition TO the
bill, the Police Department of Balti-
more City has begun a quiet arrange
ment of plans whereby the force can
be increased accordingly.
The police question in this section
has long been a difficult one in Anne
Arundel and almost regularly recur-
ing charges of ineiFiciency and even
widespread collusion between police
and lawbreakers have created scandal
after scandal.
Another point in connection with
the law enforcement in the annexed
area is the fact that Police Magistrate

THE HOME SERVICE
DOING GOOD WORK
Information Relative To Absent SerV-
ice Man Given Satisfactorily To
Inquirer

That the Home Service. branch of
war work under the Red Cross, is do
ing a noble work, and satisfying the
needs of the service men and their
families, is evidenced today by let
ter received by the local secretary,
Miss Nell Ennis, from man in the
service at the Naval Academy, who,
through the Home Service Board, had
made inquiry relative to a brother in
the service from whom the family had
not heard for some time.
The secretary Immediately took up
the matter with the Department at
Washington, who, in turn, set to work
TO find out the desired information
Locating the young man in question,
his regiment, company, etc, were for
warded here to the Home Service
Board, and the brother of the man in
question was sent a copy OF the De-
partment's letter containing the de-
sired information, as well as the fact
that the young man was well and on
active duty
In acknowledging the receipt of the
letter containing the information, the
navy man paid high tribute to the
local Home Service Committee, which
is doing such excellent and satisfac-
tory work

VOTING POWER
OF NEW ANNEX
Serious Effect Upon Democrats
Of Anne Arundel One OF
Features Of Decision
FOUR WARDS CREATED

Now that the Court of Appeals rul-
ing in the Annexation case has been
had and is apparently going to be ac-
cepted philosophically by Anne Arun-
del and Baltimore Counties. there con-
tinues to be much discussion of the
political phase of the question. In
Anne Arundel the Democratic organi-
cation is being particularly hard hit,
as it was from the Curtis Bay and
Brooklyn precincts of the famous Fifth
District that the winning majorities
for the Democratic ticket always came
Indeed, in several quite recent elec-
tions it was this vote. and this alone,
which saved several OF the Democrats
from defeat.
From the annexed territory the city
will form four additional wards, that
to be known as the 25th taking in the
new territory southwark from Fred
erick Road and including the Anne
Arundel area.
No additional members Of the Sec
ond Branch City Council, or of the
Senate, or of the House of Delegates.
are created by the Act. An amend
ment to the State Constitution will be
necessary to increase the Greater
Baltimore's representation in the two
branches of the General Assembly.
Under a clause of the Annexation
Act it may be possible to register
voters of the annex this year This,
however, would not make any ma
terial change in conditions. as the
Congressional districts are not al
tered by the extension Act. Provi-
sion is made for registration of all
annex voters for the municipal cleo
ton next spring. when a Mayor, a
City Comptroller, President of the
Second Branch City Council and mem
bers of the two branches of the City
Council will be chosen. The annex
voters will also participate in the leg
islative election next year, when three
Senators and members of the House
from each of the four districts viii be
chosen. They will also participate in
the election of a sheriff and of other
city officials.
1t is claimed that the political com
plexion of the several councilmanic
and legislative districts will not be
changed by the annexation of the
suburbs, except the Fourth District
which the Democrats claim will be
theirs by the addition of Democratic
slice of Anne Arundel County.
