 The regular Hearst-Pathe News will be supplemented by the war re- view section which adds a military aspect that is keenly sought here by all who have friends on the fighting front with the American or French armies.
 Other vaudeville attractions will be the Four Renees, Bob Murphy, the monologist, and Merilees and Dorie In an entertaining novelty.
 This is one of the best all around vaudeville and photoplay offerings with a special morning matinee at which Clayton, as during the rest of the week will mystify with his mirac- ulous ability to answer questions put 1 to him.

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 a
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
Al. Chapter Z, of the Public General
Laws of Maryland. which provides a
daily average of 40 pupils for each ad
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
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 25
| per cent greater than the average re-
quired This rule is to go into effect
at once.

ANNAPOL|TAN IN
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
Joy Ride.

Charles l.. Guienot, well known in
Annapolis, was one of the defendants
hauled before Magistrate Schroeder in
the Northern District Police Station,
Baltimore, yesterday following afast
and furious aletrcation between Guie-
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 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 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 Guie-
not, the non-payment of which carries
with il 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,
29O3 North Calvert street He declar-
ed his intention of taking her auto
mobile for a 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 a pistol, started
out in another automobile in 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 a
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 500 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 a
manner before.

Inspector Osborne has been notified
by him to suggest the personnel OF a
commission to draft such a code, and
to get for this commission when ap-
pointed copies of the codes in effect

THE commission" said the Mayor,
should have on it a 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.
'It is my idea that the code should
deal with a degree of liberality in re-
gard to the mex annex"

in the State more than doubled its
quota. In addition, Baltimore County
claimed the honor of being the only
