Governor.

Annapolis. March l6.-Governor Ritch-
lie took an open str md this evening for
the passage of Legislation au horizing the
manufacture and sale of beer, cider and
light wines in Maryland.
Right while the roll call was being
taken on the Race Track bill and excite
ment was tense in the House of Dele
gates the Governor sent a message on
the liquor question. 1t was held by the
Speaker till the roll call was ended and
then handed out in the hope of pouring
oil on the troubled waters.
The message is an Endorsement of the
Jones bill reported last night to legalize
81 per cent. beverages, and contains an
Endorsement of the wet program as far
as it is proposed to put it into effect in
this State. The reading of the message
was received with applause.

Run Down By Automobile.
Claggett Dorsey, Emmitsburg,
Seriously Injured.

On Friday evening of last week as Mr..
Claggett Dorsey was going from En-
| mitsburg to his home near that place, he
heard an automobile coming back of him
and stopped to see how near him the car
was and who was driving it. According
to reports reaching US, Mr. Dorsey was
considerably to one side of the road. The
machine was hitting up good speed.
and ran directly into the aged man.
knocking him down and further to the
side of the road.
The driver of the car did not stop to
give him any assistance. After laying
on the ground for some time, his cries
for help were heard by Mr.. Bishop
who went at once to see what the troub-
lie could be. He found Mr.. Dorsey in a
helpless condition, one leg being broken
and his body considerably bruised. DR..
D. E. Stone was summoned and Mr..
Dorsey taken to the home of Harry Mum
shour.
The acciden' happened on the fancy
town road at the outskirts of Emmits-
burg. Thus far, the name of the driver
of the car has not been learned. Mr..
Dorsey is about 70 years of age.

Whisky Blanks All Gone.

State Prohibition Director Dodson's
supply of 10000 whisky prescription
blanks has been exhausted in demand
from physicians since March 9Th, when
the blanks were received in Baltimore.
Director Dodson looks askance at the
total and intimates that some physicians
should watch their steps.
On the other hand. it is pointsd out
that the blanks are given out in books
Of 100 each; that the supply was distrib-
pted through all Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia, and that the figures
may not be so alarming.
1t is not believed of course, that all OF
the 100 books of prescriptions, which call
for 10000 pints of whisky. have been dis
posed of.

MAY Get 100 More Trucks

The State Roads Commission probably
will receive another 100 autotrucks for
use on the State roads, according to ad-
vices from Washington, which are that
"a, 600 motor vehicles intended for war
purposes, have been turned over to the
Department of Agriculture for use on
the highways of the country
Of the twelve thousand or so vehicles
already distributed, Maryland was al
loted 100 which were received about
three months ago.
Although he has received no official
notification. Frank H. Zouck chairman
of the State Roads Commi ssion, believes
that the dispatches mean that the Kahn
bill, providing for the distribution Of
virtually all war motor transportatio
has passed the Senate. This bill bases
the allotnents of trucks on the amount
of Federal aid which each State receives,
For Maryland this has been figured as
So 100 of per cent. This would mean
lO4 additional trucks for Maryland.

Says Barns Shame Schools.

Hagerstown, Md, March 4.-"There
are many barns in Washington county
fit for good schools, but there are plenty
of schools in the county not fit for barns"
said W. j Holloway, State rural super
visor of schools addressing meeting of
school patrons at the Mountaindale School
Miss Virginia Lee, teacher, Friday.
Furthermore, farmers treat their live
stock with more considt ra ton than their
children" he continued, "for they care
fully prepare for the hogs and cattle a
hot lunch. while their children attending
school must eat cold lunches.
All successful schools, he said, have a
community organization such as pat
IONS club or parent-teachers' associa-
zion the secret of success being co-opera-
tion between teacher and the community.

USING Current From Security.

After innumerable delays, the Liz hit
Plant began using current from the Sc
curity system on Wednesday which thus
far, is quite satisfactory. IL was or
iginally planned to have this current last
September. This is part of great
system extending as far west as Frost
burg and as far south as Front Royal,
Va. The power for generating the cur
rent is furnished by three water power
plants On the Potomac and half dozen
or more steam plants. the largest of
which is located at Security. The elect

Will Adopt Movies.
Part of Nj. E. Centenary Fund
To Be Esed For Films.

Part of the Centenary Fund which was
subscribed recently will be used to put
moving pictures in Methodist Episcopal
churches ss a regular feature. The mon
ey will be taken from the fund devoted
to community work and, in the estima-
tion of those who have experimental
with the drawing power of the movies,
the money will be we'll spent. The mo-
ton picture bureau of the Centenary
| Committee Of the church will have the
Rev. DR. Chester Marshall as it's direc-
tor.
There are few ministers who object
to the movies entering the pulpit, as it
were, but many are favorable to the idea
and one minister, who has been pioneer
in this field, is enthusiastic. The Rev.
Thomas S, Long has been experimenting
for some monthsat Eutaw Street Church,
Baltimore. and has made them a regular
wee ky feature of his church program.
According to Rev. Long. the big mo-
tion picture corporations are just awak-
ing to the unworked field of the church.
One concern has planned department
for churches and community organiza-
tions; the Interchurch Film Corporation
has been organized, and the Community
Motion Picture Bureau is already great
help, although it is still somewhat diff
cult to get proper "church' films.
''In little while most of the churches
will be using this new power, Mr.: Long
said. 1.-THE power of the motion pici ure
to draw crowds is undoubted. and when
the proper films are chosen can see no
harm or improperly in their judicious
use. In selecting films for churches, at
tention should be paid first to the story.
and it should be good, strong one; nat
orally, it should also point IA moral and,
of course, we have to censor them care
fully. But the power of the motion pic
ture should be used for the benz fl, of the
church, and think it will b., m Ore and
more"

Why Colds Are dangerous.

You are often teld to ''beware of a
cold" but why? We will tell you Every
cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vital
ity and paves the way for the more seri-
GUS diseases. People who contract pneu-
monia first take cold. TIE longer cold
hangs on, the greater the danger, espe-
cially from the germ diseases, as cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the germs of con-
sumption. djphtheria, scarlet fever, and
.vhooping cough. The quicker you get
rid of your cold, the Jess the danger of
contracting one of these diseases. Cham
pertains Cough Remed has great rep
uta ion as cure for colds and can be
dep nded upon. 1t is pleasant to take.

Race Tracks Win Victory.
Referendum Measure Lost In
The House For Want OF
One Vote.

Annapolis, March 16.-The Referendum
Racetrack bill, by which the question of
abolishing race betting or subjecting the
tracks to regulation and heavy taxes
under the Burke Racing Commission
bill failed of final passage in the House
of Delegates this evening by a vote a
81 for and so against. Under the Co
stitution 81 votes are necessary for fii,~.
passage.
On Thursday the Burke bill, in the
form in which it came from the Judiciary
Committee few days ago, will be
brought up as an amendment to the
Andrews Anti-racetrack Gambling bill,
and it's advocates are confident that it
will be passed and sent to the Senate.
The failure of the Referendum meas
ure was brought about by the switching
in the closing hours of the battle of two
men, Claggett E. Remsburg, of Freder-
lex county, and Calvin +. GLADDEN., of
Somerset, both Republicans. Delegate
GLADDEN. was at Annapolis last night but
did not attend the sessions of the House
then nor today. Delegate Remsburg at
tended today and changed his vote after
the recess taken for lunch. Up to that
time he had voted with his colleague,
Emory L. Coblentz, and the other Fred
erlck county delegates. for the referen-
dunn, but changed over on the first ballot
after the recess. During the roll call
Mr.. Coblentz argued with him to change
his vote and used some vigorous language
but without result. Meanwhile the race
track members sat confident and smiling
in the knowledge th4t they bod blocked
the passage of the referendum plan.
