Shrub May Prove Valuable.

Two years before the war, as the
story is told, two German chemists
applied for permission to experiment
with the plant life on a great semi-arid
ranch in central Mexico. Their re-
quest was granted, with the under
standing that they furnish complete
report of their findings. The two
chemists worked feverishly. and chiefly
on a squat, odorous shrub called go
bernadora," long reputed to possess
medicinal properties. Suddenly they
disappeared what they had discover
ed was never known. Now, after eX-
periments with this same desert
shrub which they have found in drier
parts of New Mexico, chemists of the
United States department of agrcul-
ture believe that they have discovered
another allaloid TO add to the list
which already includes morphine,
quinine and cocaine. Its chemical and
pharmaceutical properties are now un-
der investigation.-POp Mechanics

termined. after consultation with
Mr.. Bateman OF the Pac. Tel & Tel,
Co. that the quickest way of reiiev-
ing the trouble was to cut in new
section of 400 pair cable This has
been ordered shipped in by express

NAVY LIBRARY WORTH VISIT
Apartment in States, War and Navy
Building at Washington Should
Appeal to Tourists.

The navy library, in the state, war
and navy building, is lovely place to
soak up atmosphere. Like the build
ing itself, it is thirty-three years old
When it was built England, France,
Spain and Italy presented the marbles
Of porphyry, sienna and malachite with
which the walls are paneled Mexico
sent the pieces of onyx which encrust
the gallery The round stone over the
door came from the ruins of Pompeli.
The connoisseur in marble who visits
Washington will enjoy a call here.
In the center of the large room, lined
with shelves of weighty tones on ma
val matters, there is a large and i'm.
portant green-topped table. Around
this table sat the strategic board OF
the Spanish-American war. Here also
the naval advisory board for the great
war made their secret plans and ex-
periments. Edison, Maxim, Miller and
many others conferred over it, with
the windows carefully darkened and a
guard before the door.
There is quaint side to the library,
too. little white-haired lady can be
seen any time, fitting about the
shelves of dark, heavy books. or cut
ting and pasting busily in her corner
by the window. This is Miss Mason,
daughter of former secretary Of the
navy. She has been in the library
26 years. II you happen in near noon
she may give you cup of tea on one
corner of her desk.
And of all charming places to have
an unexpected cup of tea, with
sweet little lady, this quiet nook
among the books is recommended.

Communication.
To the Democratic Advocate.

To the Democratic Advocate.
The Westminster Times in an edi-
torial in it's issue of January Goth, asks
this question: Again how will Car
roll county Raise the money!"
This refers to funds to meet the
road and school demands, tnat not
only confront us now, but have con-
fronted us for several years. The
course to pursue seems so plain that
even suggestion seems unnecessary,
out feeling that possibly word may
help to bring about legislation to meet
the situation and give our people the
much needed roads and schools which
they are entitled to without being
burdened with further taxation, l at
tempt an answer to the question.
First, we must decide if we want
more hard roads and whether we want
to improve our schools. If we want
these improvements, then there is only
one sane solution-issue bonds, build
the roads and schools and have the
benefit of them at once.
The total income to our county this
year will be considerably over 100000
and with our fixed expenses around
$500, 900 and our taxable basis con-
stantly increasing, we will be fully
justified in a bond issue of $500,000.
The difference between our receipts
and expenditures of 100000, will not
only pay the interest On the entire is
sue, but will retire $4,000 bond
Zone twentieth of the issue) the first
year, and leave $4,000 to meet the in
crease in teachers salaries and other
demands on our county treasury.
The question of financing such a
proposition by direct taxation is be-
yond reason. Our experience of last
year conclusively proves this. With an
advance Of so per cent. in our tax rate
in 1919, only two districts received
any permanent benefit, the other u
districts paid the larger portion of
this advance and received no benefit
whatever.
| can not conceive and do not
believe there is a single taxpayer in
Carroll county who would not favor a
bonded Indebtedness to bring about
these benefits to all the people without
increasing our tax rate.
Other counties of our State and 9TH
er States, are pursuing this course.
Why should we hesitate longer?
I hope to see the matter brought to
a conclusion at the earliest possible
date, so that Carroll county may en-
Joy that which she is entitled to.

EX-GOVERNOR BROWN DEAD.
Notable Career of One Of Foremost
Citizens of the State of Maryland.

Former Gov. Frank Brown died
Tuesday in his apartment in Balti-
more hrs. May Brown Deiterich, the
Governors daughter and only, near
relative, was with him.
The funeral took place at 2 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon from First
Presbyterian Church. Rev. Dr., Alfred
H. Barr, pastor of the church, offici-
ated. .........
frank Brown was born August 8,
1916, at Springfield, Sykesville, the
old estate that had been the home
stead of his ancestors. His father,
Stephen F.. Cockey- Brown, was a
grandson of Abel Brown, the progen-
itor of the family in America, who
emigrated from Dumfries, Scotland,
to Maryland in the early half of the
Eighteenth century, and, after a short
stay at Annapolis took up the tract
in Carroll county which afterward
became known as Springfield. The
Governors mother had been, before
her marriage, Miss Susan A. Bennett
the daughter of Carroll county
farmer.
He made his debut as a political
factor a few. years later, or in 1870
when he was appointed to clerkshil
in one of the State tobacco ware
houses, '...'
Mr. Brown had grown sufficiently
in public esteem by 1875 to be the
successful candidate upon the Demo
cratic ticket of Carroll county fol-
member of the House Of Delegates
and he served in the sessions of 1876
and 1878, having been reelected in
1877. 1t is probable that he would
have continued in the Legislature
after 1873, for it is certain that he
could have been reelected, but
about this time both his father and
his uncle died, and by their death
the management of very consider
able estate was thrown upon the
shoulders of Mr.. Brown, and he re-
turned to his Carroll county home,
where he gave much of his time to
the management of Springfield.
Mr.. Brown became Postmaster of
Baltimore in 1886 and retained the
post for almost four years.
Mr.. Brown sought the nomination
for Governor on one occasion when
his claims were not recognized. This
was in 1887 when five candidates
were in the field. In this convention
the Carroll countian controlled some
20 odd votes, which he held to the
end. He then announced that he
would be the candidate at the next
Gubernatorial election, which an
nouncement was fulfilled.
The Democratic Convention of 1891
met in Ford's Theatre on July 80,
1891, and, despite some opposition to
Mr.. Brown from the leaders, he was
the unanimous choice of the Conven-
tion, and was elected November 3,
1891. He was inaugurated January
13, 1892.
