OLDEST OF STATE NOTICES
That Of Maryland Was Adopted In
164s-Enshrined In History Of
the Commonwealth.

The Maryland suffragists who pro-
pose altering the states motto, "Fatti
Maschy Parole Feminae" Ito use the
old spelling). are proposing to put
rough hands to what should be sacred.
The offensive translation, Deeds are
masculine, words are feminine" is not
the only one possible. The secretary
Of state could readily be directed to
give official approval to .manly deeds
and womanly Words" which would
give women a recognition they enjoy
in no other state motto.
But the best reason for jealousy
guarding Maryland's motto Is that 1t is
the Oldest the nation can boast-the
date of its adoption is placed in 1913
and is enwrapped with Maryland
history to a remarkable degree. Throw
away, the Baltimore motto and Mary
land might as we'll turn the portrait
Of George Calvert, first Lord Balti-
more, to the wall.
There are other state notices that
are open to attack. Alabama's Here

Italians Melt Up Small Chance.

The secondhand dealers all over
Italy have cornered the bronze 10 and
s. centime pieces, which they have
melted down and sold as ingots for
soldering at two and three times the
price the pennies cost them. This has
caused a great deal Of annoyance, as
small change is scarce, and in some Of
the cafes stamps have been given as
change. The government has reduced
the size of the new 10 and s Genuine

good, so it has now decided to coin the

 Paving Contract Opposed
 The question of what to do with the bid for the paving of five streets in Douglas included in the present paw ing project, continued to be discussed today on the streets. There seems to be q general desire among the busi- ness men favoring the awarding of the contract on the low bid.
 Mayor Overlook said this morning that he was called on the telephone at his home last night by several residents of Fourteenth street, V no said they thought the paving project ought to be abandoned for the present. Such a course would be unthinkable after we have incurred the heavy expense of in augurating the project said Mayor Overlook, who added he did not believe that the council desired to force people into contract if a majority are against it, but that he regarded the present bid as good as could be hoped for. If one street opposed paving even now, said the mayor I would favor dropping that street only and going ahead with the other work-Daily International.

 During recess Mrs. Woodlock was assaulted in a corridor of the court building by Mrs. Bridget Corcoran, a sister of Frederick. Seeing the at tack. the girl stepped between her mother and Mrs. Corcoran and defied the latter to strike another blow.
 Mrs. Woodlock is charged with sec ond degree murder in connection with her husbands death but will be tried later. The girl maintains she killed Woodloek to defend her honor.
