teeman for Maryland, put his foot
down on the participation of women in

fused fatty to name a Maryland
woman to serve as a member of the

this city would be the ideal person
for the place.
The appointment should be made
at once" said Mrs Funck. Mrs.
Charles Ogle and myself had talked it
over and had even gone so far as to
discuss the women in Maryland who
were fitted for the position. 1t won't
do to appoint a woman who is mere
ly sweet and amiable A woman of
strong character and possessed of
ability should be named. The purpose
of the Council as / understand it, is to
help the Democratic party. There
fore she should understand politics
and be a good Democrat.
Mrs. Ogle and l agreed that Mrs.

MORE PAY; MORE WORK
FOR THE TEACHERS.
School Board Adopts Rule
Whereby Many Assistant
Teachers Will Be Dropped.

Having been granted increases in
salaries by acts of the last legislature,
the teachers of Anne Arundel are go
ing TO have to do more work, that the
County Board of Education may be
able TO keep its expenditures within
reasonable figure. At yesterdays
meeting of the County Board of Edu-
cation Superintendent Fox stated to
the Board that a large number of as
sistant teachers were employed in the
county in direct violation of Article
AZ. Chapter Z, of the Public General
Laws of Maryland. which provides a
daily average of 40 pupils for each adj
ditional assistant employed. 1t was
further explained that if these extra
teachers were retained the item of
white teachers salaries alone would
amount to SILL 600 for next year, more
than the entire county appropriation
for all school purposes this year.
After discussing the matter and com
pairing the average attendance with
the average daily attendance of a
number of efficient school systems the
Board directed the Superintendent to
require all schools employing assist
ant teachers TO make the average
provided by law or dispense with the
services of one or more of the teach
ers as the case may require. And
that the principals of the various
schools be notified that whenever the
weekly average is below that requir-
ed by law (40) for five consecutive
weeks beginning April l, 1918, the as
sistant be dropped and the principal
be directed to reorganize the classes
so that the pupils will be properly
taken care of by the remaining teach
er or teachers 1t is provided, how
ever, that the assistant shall not be
dropped if the daily average for the
month is over SO pupils per teacher,
and that the enrolment is at least %
per cent greater than the average re-
quired. This rule is to go into effect
at once.

HOSPITAL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Mrs. George Balliere was the CON

check for $500, which has been turn
ed over to Mr.. Eugene W Iglehart,
Vice-President of The Capital Pub
fishing Company, who is acting as
treasurer of the fund.
Another big boost was got through
the pledge of 500 through a gentle
man who asked that that sum sim
ply be put in as pledge and to be paid
when called for. Twenty-Five dollars
from Mrs. Juliet w. Asherton, $40
from DIR. T. Kent Green, So from Pro-
fessor Leonard Doggett, and a like

phone there was pledged another hun
dred dollar sum from Mr. Thomas w
Smith, of Washington.

PECK OF TROUBLE.
Charles l.. Guienot Arrested For
disturbance In Baltimore
Yesterday Morning.
HEAVY FINES IMPOSED.
Several Charges Laid Against
Local Man After He Took
A Lady's Car For A
10y Ride.

Charles L. Guienot, we'll known in
Annapolis, was one of the defendants
hauled before Magistrate Schroeder in
the Northern District Police Station,
Baltimore, yesterday following afast
and furious alteration between Cute
not and George Z. Parker, of Balti-
more. in the wee sma' hours of yester-
day morning. AS a result Guienot was
assessed fines and costs amounting in
all to $127.90.
Persons living near st. Paul and
Twenty ninth streets, Baltimore, were
aroused from their slumbers by three
pistol shots and cries of Murder"
and Help"
More than a hundred of them re-
sponded and they saw a lively tussel
during which a revolver. a club and
swinging fists were much in evidence.
The combatants were Guienot, and
Parker. who lives at 1920 st. Paul
street. Both were arrested by Ser
geant Jones. of the Northern District,
and taken before Magistrate Schroe-
der. who imposed the fine upon Cute
not. the non-payment of which carries
with it the possibility of a 12S-day
stay in the city Jail. Parker was dis
missed.
Guienot. according to the evidence,
called upon Miss Catherine Lederer,
1908 North Calvert street He declar-
ed his intention of taking her auto
mobile for spin but she refused. In
spite of her protestations the Annap-
oils man drove off in the machine.
Summoning Mr.. Parker, who is her
nephew, Miss Lederer asked him to To-
cate Guienot and remove him from the
automobile forcibly if necessary Par
ker, procuring pistol started
out in another automobile an search of
Guienot He found the man on st.
Paul street Guienot sensed that he
was being pursued and shot ahead at
a greater rate of speed. Parker came
up with him at Twenty-ninth street
and ordered him out of the machine.
Guienot refused.
The two came to grips Backing
away Parker fired the pistol three
times. He testified that he did so
merely to attract the attention of
policeman Guienot declares that he
meant to kill him. When frantic per-
sons of the neighborhood and Ser
geant Jones arrived the two men were
fighting again
Guienot was charged with operating
the Lederer machine while under the
influence of liquor, with using the car
unauthorizedly and with striking Par
ker. He was fined 800 and costs on
the first charge and $25 and costs for
the assault. The third charge was dis
missed Parker was charged with
shooting firearms within the city linn
its and with assaulting Guienot. Both
charges were dismissed.
Numerous witnesses were present
at the trial When some of the testi
mony involving her participation in
the affair was taken Miss Lederer
swooned and had TO be cared for by
the station house matron. She as
serted that she had known Guienot
for almost three years, but that she
had never known him to act in such
manner before.

SCHOOL BOOKS TO BE

and rural sections of Anne Arundel
County are to be shipped direct from
Baltimore rather than as of old by
re-handling and re-shipment from the
Office of the County Board of Educa-
ton.

portation facilities due to the war con-
ditions, the School Board yesterday
decided to place the packing and ship
ping of the school books to the yari-
Gus schools with Dulany-Vernay Com
pany of Baltimore, at the fat rate of

Mayor Preston wants a building

Inspector Osborne has been notified
by him to suggest the personnel of a
commission to draft such code, and
to get for this commission when ap-
pointed copies of the codes in effect
in other large cities.
THE commission" said the Mayor,
should have on it practical builder
and an architect. It's provisions should
be drafted with special attention to
the new annex and parts of the old
as well as to the conditions within the
old city limits.
1T is my idea that the code should
deal with a degree of liberality in re-
gard to the mex annex"

State Candidate
Visits This City

Judge Thos. F. Ryan, of Salem,
present assistant state treasurer and
candidate for nomination on the re-
publican ticket for state treasurer
was in this city Friday looking after
his political interests.
Judge Ryan is an early riser and
takes great delight in his early morn
ing hikes. Friday morning at five
O'Clock he walked all over Ashlands
beautiful park, and what he had to
say of its beauty would delight the
ear of the average Ashland citizen
who has a just pride in it. The judge
is making a vigorous campaign for
the nomination. His experience OF
eight years in the office with Mr..
Kay has familiarized him with the
work, so that If elected he will have
all the advantages of thorough famili-
arity with the economics that has put
the state treasurer's office of Oregon
at the head for maximum efficiency
at minimum cost.
