A Plot To Kill High Officials.

New York. April 30.--Every agency of
the national and municipal governments
was at work tonight trying to track the
reds" responsible for the terrorist bomb
plot which has startled the country.
Sixteen internal machines were found,
literally by chance, early today in the gen.
eral postoffice in this city. Apparently
they were identical with six others which
went through the mails safely and were
delivered to the persons to whom they
were addressed. Fortunately, however,
none of the intended victims has been in
jured thus far. How many others have
been mailed no one can tell.
Six of the packages seized in New York
were addressed to men high in Washing
ton official life. They were Associate JUS
tice Holmes, of the Supreme Court; Post
master General Burleson, Secretary of La
Dor Wilson. Attorney General Palmer, Com
missioner of immigration Caminetti and
William H. Lamar, solicitor of the Post
Office Department.
Only few weeks ago Justice Holmes
delivered the Supreme Courts opinion sus-
tanning the conviction of Eugene V. Debs,
now serving prison sentence for viola
ton of the espionage act. and previously
had delivered opinions upholding the con-
stitutionality of the espionage law. Vari-
Gus reasons were assigned by the authori-
ties for including the other government
officials.

The Woman In The Case.

Adam was the first man and roamed the
garden fair.
Induleing luscious fruits and all the vintage
rare;
remain alone,
And thus he made female out of Adams
rib bone.
Now Adam was goodly man and had an
awful appetite.
But had always done the right thing in the
Lords sight;
He obeyed the command not to eat the for
hidden fruit,
In those early days there was no such
thing as loot.
But when he saw the female in fig-leaf
and flowing hair,
Adams heart got tangled into an awful
snare;
With siren songs she led him beneath the
apple tree,
And there he ate forbidden fruit while she
sat on his knee.
God meant man should be tempted by
Serpent in disguise.
And Adam fell Victim although so good
and wise
From that day to this, mans sins have
multiplied.
On the cross of the female he is daily cruel :
fed.
Then the Lord in pity and sorrow carried
out the plan,
He named the female, WOMEN because it
meant woman;
And now when man commits a crime Of
any land or race,
We always hear the hue and cry, find the
woman in the case,

A Favorable Response.

Early though incomplete returns from
the various Federal reserve districts indi-
cate that the Victory Loan has started off
with an impetus which augurs big sue
cess at the finish. The first days sales
were large everywhere. and considering the
fact that this loan must be fioated with
an absence of the war enthusiasm which
marked the liberty loans of the past, the
results are very reassuring.
A large number of the towns and COM
munities report that they exceeded their
quotas on the first day. The people are
showing a real interest in the subject, and
loan committees everywhere are devotin9
the same energy and force to their task
that they have shown before. Consequently
it is no idle hope that inspires the belief
that when the sale Is over 1t will be found
that the 81, 100000. 900 desired has been
overSubscribed.
Sure, we'll finish the job" announces
one Of the most attractive posters put out
by the Victory Loan committee, one de-
picting husky looking workingman dig
ging down into his jeans for the price of a
bond. And that is the general sentiment
prevailing throughout the country. The
people apparently realize that it is their
duty to 60 through with the undertaking
and that it cannot be finished until the
bills have been paid. With that senti-
ment inspiring the public the success of
the loan may be considered certain.

and the money was TO pay off an indebt-
edness that had been weighing me down
long time. One morning went out with
bucket of sparkling swill. and found one
of my largest hogs dead. Two or three
others were sick. Then for days together
was busy burying my dead hogs. The
whole bunch. with the exception of two or
three runts. died the death. 1t is strange
how the runts always hang on, when youth
and beauty are being carried to the tomb.
covered myself with sackcloth and
ashes and established lodge of sorrow
and for weeks my wife handed me my
victuals with a ten-foot pole, for it wasn't
safe to approach me.
And all that time had a little talent
that might have made me independent CT

Americans Greed In Bronze.

A small but representative company of
Baltimoreans and Marylanders attended the
unwilling at the City Hall. Baltimore. last
Monday afternoon of the bronze tablet
containing the Americans Creed. the gift
of William Tyler Page, of Friendship
Heights, this county, author of the creed
and prize-winner of the $1,000 nation
wide contest conducted last year by the
city of Baltimore.
Mr.. Page presented the tablet, Miss Hen
rietta Randall, granddaughter of Mrs. j. D.
Iglehart. unveiled the tablet, the Mayor
accepted it in the name of the city and
addresses were made by Matthew Page
Andrews. Of the committee on award; j.
Milton Reifsnider, of the Maryland Society
Of the American Revolution, and Mrs. Geo.
W. Jams, of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution. Mrs. Ijams stated that
only recently a new chapter had been
formed of the Daughters, named after
Carter Braxton, an ancestor of Mr.. Page.
Mrs. William Stiles, a sister Of Mr. Page,
she said, is vice-president of the chapter.
In addition to the creed the tablet con-
tains the following inscription: Presented
by the author, William Tyler Page, through
Mayor James H. Preston"
Mr. Page said he considered it an honor
and a privilege to present the tablet to
the city, where he had been reared, schooled
and resided most of his life, and he felt
a keen sense of pride, not alone that he was
the winner of the contest but that the
idea originated in Baltimore and that the
city was the donor of the prize. He said
the creed was not original with him. but
that it was taken from this. that and the
other sources of utterances of historic char
acters and documents of historic interest.
IF this creed has appealed to Ameri-
cans and they have appropriated it for
their own, it is because intuitively they
have all along had these thoughts in mind
and felt their influence in their lives, " said
Mr.. Page.
The Mayor in response stated that the
city was grateful to Mr.. Page, and that he
knew of no occasion where a man had
who had created an enduring thought or
creed and who had in such manner pre-
sented it to the city where it had its in
ception. The Mayor told how the contest
had originated and of the thousands of
contestants who entered the race for the
prize. He eulogized Mr.. Page and closed
with the statement that I'VE in Baltimore
feel you have done splendid thing for us
in adding these imperishable thoughts to
the rotunda of our City Hail."

Great Falls May Have Acid Plant.

Negotiations are in progress for the
erection near Great Falls, this county. of
a $1000,000 plant for the manufacture
of sulphuric acid. The project is being
promoted by a syndicate of Philadelphia
and New York capitalists, who own more
than 5000 acres of land in the vicinity
of the Great Falls, and control valuable
water rights at Great Falls. 1t is planned
not only to manufacture sulphuric acid
but to use the residue for conversion into
fertilizer.
The site of the proposed plant is what
is known as the old Maryland Gold Mine
situated about mile from Great Falls.
This property and the HilI Townsend.
Ford, Watson, Mitchell and Jackson farms
were purchased several years ago in the
belief that they contained valuable de-
posts Of gold, but prospecting. extending
over period of several years. has con-
WINGED the promoters that gold does not
exist there in paying quantities.
The mining operations, however. are
understood to have disclosed that much
of the property owned by the syndicate is
rich in iron pyrites which carry something
like so per cent of sulphur, and James H.
Eckersly, who had charge of the gold
mining project, is leading the movement
for the establishment of the proposed
plant. 1t is stated that the actual work
of constructing the plant will be started
in the near future.
1t is further stated that the purchase by
the same syndicate of the Great Falls and
Potomac electric road is under serious
contemplation.

Girls Clubs.
WASHINGTON SUNDAY STAR To GIVE OFFICIAL
EMBLEMS For WINNING ORGANIZATIONS
In MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA.

Announcement is made by the Extern
sion Services of Maryland State College
and Virginia Polytechnic Institute that
county championship banners will be
awarded this year to the boys and girls
clubs doing agricultural and home eco
Monies work in the counties of Southern
Maryland and Northern Virginia. In Mary
land, where the boys and girls are organ
lied separately. there will be two banners
in each county. one for the boy champions
and another for the girls club scoring
highest. In Virginia the boys and girls
are organized together and there will be
one banner for each county.
The banners, which will be donated by
The Washington Sunday Star, will be in
the colors of the respective State colleges,
and will be specially lettered for each
county. They will be of wool bunting, so
that they may fly from an outdoor staff
beneath the American flag, the idea being
that when the awards are made there
shall be formal flag raising at the school
house where each winning club has its
headquarters. Offer to donate the banners
was made by The Star and accepted by
the Maryland and Virginia State agents
in charge Of club work at conference
held recently in Washington.
The awards will be made on the basis
of the official scoring Of the work of the
clubs by the county farm and home dem
onstration agents. As soon as the ban
ners can be manufactured they will be
delivered to the county agents, and IL is
the expressed belief Of those in charge OF
the club work that the friendly rivalry
which will result among the clubs not only
will add interest. but will prove an incen-
tive 70 better effort.

moral values that come from fair play. 1t
