is to extend over a period of 10 years,
and which includes roads built with
State money alone. roads built with
State and national funds, and roads
built with State and county funds.
The Government this year will have
available for Maryland out of its ap-
preparation for postroads the sum of
$S69,00 which the State is called on
to match Provision for matching this
allowance from the national Govern
ment has been made in one of the new
roads bills. Together State and ma
tional funds amount TO $1,73S,000.
Uuder the lateral roads act. which
is the new State aid proposition, the
State will put up $750,0O0 a year, and
this will be matched by the counties,

number of bills passed during the late

number OF other persons interested in
This or that bill will be here to wit
ness the ceremonies Of signing the

The Governor is now giving con-
sideration to the matter OF appoint
ments, including some OF the most ina
portant State boards. nominations for
which were not required to be sent TO
the Senate for confirmation. Most OF
these appointments become effective
as of May L. The Governor announces
that he does not expect 10 make any
appointments until after he has COM
pleted signing bills. with the possible
exception of filling the vacancy on the

snider, and also TO name successor

As to the Public Service Commits
sioner and the Tobacco Inspector, the
Governor said he had reached no con
clusion. The decision of former Judge

to give the matter the thought it de-
serves.
Many For Tobacco Inspector
Senator Charles S. Grason. of ST.
Mary's, who is a candidate for Tobacco
Inspector, but who was understood
some days ago TO be out of the run
ming, has been encouraged lately over
information he has received. Never
theless, the idea prevails among
Southern Maryland politicians that
the Governor intends to place Senator
Grason in another berth. and most OF
them think the fight for Tobacco In
spector is between Julian Blackjack,
OF Charles, and w Booth Bowie, Of
Prince Georges, with Benjamin Par
ran, Of Calvert; Aquilla T. Robinson
of Prince Georges, and Michael Car
ter, of Anne Arundel, as possibilities
The Governor also has the three
places on the new Racing Commission

"pARIS COMES TO AMERICA"
English Visitor Finds French InfIu-
enee, Especially In Architecture.

II used TO be said that good Ameri-
cans when they died went to Paris.
Tile Partisan lure no doubt Is still
powerful; but every day I should
guess that more OF Paris comes 10
America. The upper parts OF New
York have boulevards and apartment
houses very like the real thing, and !
noticed that the architecture OF France
eAerts y special attraction for the rich
man eecreeing himself a pleasure
dome.
There are milllnnaires' residences In
New York that might have been trans
planted not only from the Avenue du
Bois de Eoulogne but from Touraine
itself; while when | made my pilgrim
age 70 Mr.. Wldener's. just outside
Philadelphia, found Rembrandt's
"AIlll," and Manet's dead bull fighter
and Vermeer. and little meadow
painted dlvinely by Coiot and III Gre
cos family group, and Donatello's 81.
George, and one of the most lovely
scenes that ever was created by TuT-
ner's enchanted brush, all enshrined
in a palace which Louis Seize might
have built.
But America Is still more French
than this. Her women can not he less
soignee than those of France, althou%h
they suggest a cooler blood and less
dependence on male society; her shops
can be as distinguished as those OF the
Rue de la Paix and far more costly;
and her bread is better than Frances
best. Moreover, when 1t comes to
night, and the Broadway consteIla-
lions challenge the darkness. New
York leaves Paris far behind. For. ev-
cry cabaret and supper resort that
Paris can provide New York has

remain faithful to their old postum

SHIPS SIRENS SOUND CODES
Whistle Blasts Give All Information
Necessary to All Whom 1t
May Concern.

AS ships pass In and out OF port
their sirens sound a code which en-
ables all that is necessary to be said
to all whom it may concern. Two tug
boats, one concealed from the other
by the vessel they are taking to her
berth, will rattle away, one telling
the other what to do, and perhaps each
in turn pleading with the pilot on the
liners bridge to stop his engines, to
go ahead or astern, or do half a
dozen things.
Sirens of the big shipping liners
mostly have individual notes, and they
have calls Of their own when nearing
port. The Cunarder announces her
approach by three long blasts, the
White Star and Allan liner by three,
Dominion four, while Leylands vessels
run to six sounded in three twos, with
a marked interval between each pair.
Boats of the African line have
fhreefold call, one long and two short !;
Johnsons are quite garrulous with
eight. Alexandra tugs five, and Rae'
tugs two long and two short, while
the Cock boats adhere to their old FOR
mula of -a-doodle-doo.

ANOTHER MISTAKE.

Some leople seem to feel that
anything to be worth having must
come from a big factory,a Zig farm,
or a big city. "Oh, this came all
the way from New York" is a
customary expression Of many pco-
pie when exhibiting some new
present or purchase. And they
seem shocked when told that the
thing they are admiring WAS made
in small town and shipped IT,
New York for sale
1t is the same way with printing
There are always to be found people
who imagine that neat, clean /.
attractive, up-to the-minute print
ing cannot be done in a town like
Leesburg so we'll as it i5 done in
the larger cities Of this country.
Only a few still labor under this
mistake, however, and they, too,
will see their error once they have
patronized their hometown printer.
The fact of the business is the best
printers in the big cities learned
their trade in small town printing
offices. They learned in the shops
where they had time to learn it
thoroughly. In the larger shops
there is q constant rush, and every
Job receives about the same meas
ure of attention. The men work
pretty much the same way as the
machines-at top speed and to see
how much they can turn out In
stead Of now we'll they can turn it
out. The small-town printer puts
the best there is in him on every
Job because he wants that job to
stand as testimonial to his artistic
ability.
Do you doubt this? Then bring
in job of printing, of any kind,
and let us convince you where you
are in error.

Guiding Ships Irto Harbor.

Experiments like those which the
navy department is now making to-
ward the plotting of craft into the har-
Dor appear to be meeting with success.
They are certainly worth making, The
method is a combination of cable with
wireless guidance. An earlier check,
the frequent breakage of the cable,
has been overcome. 1t only remains
to develop the technique in detail.
Very likely the time will come when
entering New York harbor will be
almost as exactly marked procedure
as driving about the streets in the cen
ter of the town according to traffic
regulations.-New York Sun.
