NOVELTY Ia found in III,

A NOVELTY is found in the Hip
~ podrome show this week, in the
entire absence OF old time fav-
y orite stars or chorus workers. 1t is
announced as brand new company
with new stuff. And they had better
have II. Bonnie kirkland, who was
largely responsible for many of the
best lines in the various lines last
week, knocked TO smithefeens the
tirne-worn excuse OF the producer
who insists that there isn't anything
new. and that 1t wouldn't pay to get
It IL there was. Unquestlonably he
brought more new material to the
Hipp than any comedian that has ap-
peared there in the season. So Hoey
and Mozart's Cheer Up Girls will need
TO step lively to keep up the pace set
last week. A good reputation pre-
cedes them. however, and II may be
that we are in for another good
weeks entertainment. The first bill

Racetrack Bill Is Passed By House

By vote of 81 to sc, the House
Monday night passed sthe amended
Andrews Bill creating a racetrack COM
mission and plecing a tax of $4,000 per
day on thesvarious tracks in the state.
The bill now goes to the Senate, where
an effort will be made to attach the re-
ferendum, which was defeated In the
House
In reality the bills is the Burke Bill
which had been substituted for the
Andrews Bill after warm debate. 1t
is, however, not the orig al Burke Bill,
various amendments having been made
to it before it passed the H )ase. The
changes included a reduction of the
number of days of racing to 100 year
and taking from the commission the
power to entablsh any more racetracks
in Maryland.
Three of four members who had
voted against the original Burke Bill,
voted for the substitute.

Northern Lights Illu inmate Sky

For several hours Monday night
Maryland witnessed as remarkable
display of the aurora borealis as ever
was seen from this part of the world.
Beginning at about p. m the crimson
glow of the polar illumination spread
in the northern and northwestern sky,
and shot out tentacles Of yellow flame.
The sight endured for two hours, and
was especially brilliant in the rural and
mountainous sections. Al Port Deposit
and Reisterstown the light was as in
tense as that of the sun.
The atmosphere was strangely charged
during the display, and wire service was
somewhat affected. At Port Deposit
where Aberdeen Proving Ground officials
acid a dinner, artificial lighting was
made unnecessary.
Both during and after the beautiful
glow white streamers were spread
across the sky and formed a sort of anet
work were clouds were visible. These
streamers had the appearance of criss-
crossed searchlightsss and were cOlorless.
The Weather Man said these lights
may be expected at this season.
