WOmen's Civic League Supper and

Considering the very unfavorable
weather, the almost impossibility Oh
getting sugar and the abnormal
prices of all food stuffs, the supper
and bazaar at the Firemen's Build
ing, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings of last week, under the
management of the Women's Civic
League, was a great financial as
we'll as social success and the ladies
of the league desire to thank the
citizens of the town who responded
so generously and were so courteous
to the solicitors. Following is a list
of expenditures and returns.
Expenses-Hall and rent $1,000
oysters $4,000, lard and ham $22.S4,
ice cream $23.66, cracker dust, salt

To Repeal Primary Election Law.

Senator Omar d. Crothers; of Cecil
county, while in Baltimore last week,
said that he would introduce as
soon as the General Assembly con-
venes a bill to repeal the direct
primary election law. AS a substi-
tute he will propose that delegates to
nomination convention be elected on
the basis of the voting population of
each party. I'VE would adhere to
the Democratic and popular idea, y
said Mr. Crothers, "by electing, to
illustrate, one delegate for each 100
voters. These delegates would be
elected to county and city legislative
district conventions. The county and
district conventions would elect dele
gates to the state convention in ad-
dition to making such nominations
as. are necessary
Senator Crothers is convinced that
the direct primary election law has
proved to be a failure, not only in
Baltimore, but in the counties, in
several of which it was practically
ignored this year, candidates being
selected at socalled harmony meet
ings to which delegates were chosen
at district meetings.

Game Farm Gets PheaSantS.

The State Game Propagation Farm
at Owings Mills, is being stocked
with ringneck pheasants, which will
be used for breeding purposes only.
The offspring will form the first flock
of birds to be liberated from the
new reservation.
Thirty-seven fine specimens were
in the first consignment to arrive
and they have been placed in the
first holding pen. The birds were
raised from 100 eggs turned over to
A. w. Brown, superintendent OF
Druid Ridge Cemetery, Pikesville.
Upon arrival at the farm, the wings
of the pheasants were clipped as an
additional safeguard against their
leaving the place.
Another consignment of 107 pleas
ants soon will be taken to the farm.
They were received from Oregon by

GROToN HAS MYSTERY IN
 SHOOTING OF CAPRANO

Sunday night showed some i'm provement in the condition of Peter Caprano, B years old. who is in the Lawrence Memorial hospital in New London suffering from two bullet wounds in his head inflicted py an unknown assailapt on Hamilton street, Grofon Friday night.
 Caprano, who is employed on the construction of silk mill at Gro ton, was shot as he was sitting on the Verandah of the home of Mrs. Margarita Scurano, on Mitchell street in Groton, while Mrs. Scurano and a child were nearby. Caprano's sister is a boarder at the Scurano house. It is not known that Caprano has any enemies, nor is there any reason for thinking anyone would shoot him.
 It is not known whether the shots that struck Caprano were intended for him or whether they came from q revolver fired indiscriminarely by men who were celebrating the 4th. No one is under arrest for the shooting, and the censtabl bles of GPoton are groping in the dark to unravel the mystery.

MEAN PRACTICE TO STRIKE
 MATCHES ON AUTOMOBILES

The man who strikes match along the polished body of a fine automo- bile standing at the .curb is in the same class with the youngster who draws pin or a sharp substance along the polished body of car. Per- haps the man is in a little lower class than the small boy, for the old CT person must realize that he is doing something wrong, while it may per- haps be somewhat extenuating in the case of child .
 Both these things have occurred and are said to be occurring of late with altogether too much freuency,
 Few people are aware of the fact that the drawing of ones finger in the dust on the hood or on the body of a newly vanished vehicle will leave it's mark. no matter how careful a washing may be given the vehicle Only another coat of varnish will re- move the mark It does not seem pos sibie that in sis so, but any painter will veueh for the truth of the asser- ton.
 The child who is marking the bodies of automobiles with pins or nails, however should be severely admon- ished by his parents and if such a youngster is caught in the act by the police he will probably have the time of his life.
 At the present cost of painting an which may run all the way from $50 to $15o. the owner does not feel kindly toward anyone who avails himself of the convenience of an automobile as a match box or for a scroll with a pin or nail.
