GOVERNOR IS TO
END TASK TODAY.
Final Action On Bills Will Be
Taken BY The Executive And
Then Come Appointments.
BUDGET IN THE LIST.
Executive Under Law Is Com
PEELED To Accept Measure
AS Sent To Him BY
The Legislature.

Governor Harrington's big task
ends this afternoon when he will
complete the signing of bills passed
by the recent General Assembly
which meets his approval There re-
mains 1877 measures to receive his sig
nature. OF this number probably so
will be consigned to the waste heap.
One of the most important bills to
receive its final touch today is the
bugdet which carries annual appro-
priations of about $12,000.O00 for 1919
and 1920 each for the support of the
state government, for the judiciary
department, for commissioners and
boards and for institutions supported
wholly or in part by the state. The
budget with two changes only, is in
the same shape in which il was
framed by the Governor and submit
ted to the General Assembly. An an
nual appropriation ef $4,000 to the as
sistant chairman of the State Roads
Commission ad $4,000 for the mainte
nance of the Farm Products Agency
were eliminated, the first apprOpria-
tion being rejected by the House,
while the latter sum will revert to the
treasury, as the agency in question
was not created by an act of the leg
islature. The bill creating the Office
of state. fire marshal as a separate
office also seems to have been lost
in the shuttle.
The appropriations made by the
budget will be available at the begin
ming of the next fiscal year ,on Octo-
ber first. The governor has not power
under the provisions of the constitu-
tional amendment authorizing him to
frame the budget to make any changes
The governor will also act upon the
several race track bills now before
him. Two relate to the Bowie track,
one creating a commission to regu-
late the track, thus permitting betting
on races, while the other prohibits
gaming in any form in the county. 1t
looks as though the governor will
withhold his signature from both of
these bills, thus permitting two of the

JUDGE MOSS MAKES
AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
Court States 1t Does Not Desire
Persons To Rise Upon Jur-
lists Entrance.

While he is speeding up the work
OF his Court and, without loss of
efficiency, keeping the machinery of
justice clipping along at gratifying
speed, Judge Robert Moss declines to
be martinez in his high office.
Thoroughly capable of keeping up the
dignity and respect for the office he
holds when occasion should demand
action on his part along this line, the
Judge this morning again made qlain
that he does not desire the whole
corps of court officials, with others in
the court room TO abandon all their
duties and rise when he entered the
room TO take his place on the bench.
An announcement TO this effect was
made by Judge Moss when he first en-
tered upon his judicial duties but
seemed not to have become generally
known.
Another ruling made by the Judge
this week is that there shall be no
over-crowding of the aisles of the
court room by throngs of morbidly
curious persons. He has issued or
ders TO the court attendants that per-
sons coming into the court room must
be seated and not stand idly about the
room.

the Bandmaster, Prof. Torovsky play
ed twenty numbers, and were encored
again and again throughout the even
ing, sometimes responding as many
as two and three times to some favor

nickle a glass and neat sum was
realized.
The dance was one of the greatest
successes of the season, and the
Knights and the Daughters wish to
express appreciation to the sailors for
their valued assistance toward this

NAVY AND STATE
IN COMEDY GAME.
Sailors Muss Things Up In The
Ninth Session And Contest
Goes Four Extra.
6 TO 5 is SCORE.
Two Neat Double-Sa Drives In
Thirteenth Inning Finally
Won For The Midship-
men Yesterday.

In a regular comedy game, during
which loose fielding and bone plays
kept cropping up at the most critical
times. Navy and Maryland State went
thirteen innings yesterday afternoon
before the Sailors came across with a
6 TO 5 victory
During the early stages of the game
the Middies took an apparently safe
lead only to throw the chance away in
the ninth brace. and allow State to
get three tallies across and tie the
score at sail However. after this
blow-up the teams tightened up and
played better ball The first two men
up in the Sailors half of the thirteenth
brace each whacked out a two-bagger,
and Stubbs came across with the win
ming run.
Taking one in the first. two in the
third and one each in the fifth and
seventh the Sailors, when State took
the sticks in the ninth, looked easy
winners. as the visitors had but two
taIlies, one annexed in the fifth and
one in the seventh.
After playing three even extra in
nings without tallying Stubbs hinged
the second chance and made neat
sprint to the second corner. Blakes-
lee backed him up with another two
bagger and the game was over.
The Sailors near Waterloo came
through Pools wild heave over first
in Eiseman's easy one to third For
rest had been stopped by Pino's Won
derful barehanded catch when Smith
and Holder each hit safely. then, after
Croton had famed and Aitcheson had
beaten out n scratch filling the cor
ners, Poole mishandled Eiseman's
drive.

The Reason Whv.

This difference in the complexion OF
people is due to the varying amount Of
pigment or coloring material in the
cells of which the skins of all animals
are made. Very light people have very
little pigment; very dark people, those
with dark eyes and black hair, have
great deal of this coloring material
in their cells.
A great many people are neither
light nor very dark. They have less
than the dark complexioned people
and more than the light complexioned
people. When the hair turns gray
it is because the pigment has disap-
peared. AS this is due to the loss Of
this coloring material, dark complex
Toned people turn gray sooner than
light complexioned people. The struc-
ture of the skin showing how these
cells are made In layers can be seen
by examining the skin with micro
scope.

Sport clothes, having come to stay,
have their growing strength constantly
REINFORCED by wonderful new develop
ments. Designers can be as daring as
they like so long as they know how to
turn out beautiful, if startling, new
thiRgs that are ingenious and full of
style.
Stripes and checks, in strong con-
trasts of color, made up in combina-
ton with plain color, have occupied our
Geld of vision this year, almost to the
exclusion of the odd, brilliantly colored
figures that were strewn over the sur
face of sport clothes last year. These
checks and broad stripes are most
cleverly managed, and now we have
hats and turbans made to match coats
and skirts. One wonders where these
new by-paths will lead, at any rate,
they run In the direction of the smart
est informal clothes that We have ever
known.
The sport costume pictured leaves
nothing to be desired in the way of
