State Police Begin Duties.
Squad In Charge OF Sergeant
Smith Patrol Highways.
Man At ArmOry Always.

On Monday morning last Sergeant
Charles W. Smith, and his squad of
State Policemen commenced patrol
ing the highways of the Frederick
district which comprises Frederick,
Carroll, Howard and Montgomery
counties of Maryland. They will
keep a sharp lookout for auto jacks
and robbers and do general police
work on the state highways.
The Headquarters of the squad are
located at the Armory in Frederick
where one man will always be on du-
ty. AS soon as holdup occurs on
the highways the victim of the hold
up may at once telephone to the head
quarters of the State police in the
Armory. The man on duly will then
notify the state policeman closest to
the scene of the rob berry. He will
know where each policeman is locat-
ed.
Sergeant Smith said he saw no rca.
son why a member of his flying squad
should not be able to arrive at the
scene of a holdup anywhere from
half an hour after the crime had been
committed and while the trail of the
fleeing robbcr or autojack was still
fresh.
This new constabulary is being con
Quoted in connection with the office
of the Commissioner of Motor Vehic-
les. They have authority to make
arrests for violations of the automo-
bile laws of the state and derive their
authority to make arrests for greater
crimes from that section of the law
which permits any law abiding citi-
zen to arrest robber or other GRIM
inal.
The plan was adopted by Governor
Richie and Automobile Commission
er Baughman for the purpose of try
ing to check automobile thefts and
holdups on the state highways.
1t has been suggested that each
member of the state police be made
a deputy sheriff in every county in
the state. 1t is believed that this
would broaden the powers of each in
dividual policeman.
From this time on the highways of
Frederick and other counties will be
policed az never before.

Giving The Peoples Money
Away.

Senator Smoot, of Utah, is conced-
ed to be one of the best-equipped
members of the Senate in his know
ledge of Government business and in
his grasp of national problems and
legislation. He almost always knows
what he is talking about and is rarely
guilty of exaggeration or political
sensationalism. When, therefore,
in commenting on Senator Calder's
amendment to the Legislative, Exc
cutive and Judicial Appropriation
bill, giving a bonus of S24O to each
mechanic employed in the navy yards
and arsenals, he asks if the Senate
is going crazy" the average taxpay-
or will feel that the Utah Senator has
good reason for protesting The CAL
der bonus means the payment from
the Treasury and the assessment on
taxpayers of SIT 10000 for the ben
eft of men who, Senator Smoot says,
are already receiving wage OF 81
cents an hour.
Both Democrats and Republicans
are protesting great devotion to econ
omy and great love for the poor tax
payer, and yet the Calder amend
ment was adopted by vote of AZ to
20. In other words, AZ Senators vot-
ed to give away ST., 100000 of the
peoples money to a special class,
who are being paid for their work at
the rate of more than s. a day. The
Senators who voted for this amend
ment owe it to themselves and the
country to explain their position.
And If they do not do so voluntarily
their constituents should demand an
explanation baltimore Sun Editor.

The Clarion Publishing Co., :.
Thurmont, Nd.
Dear Sirs:-I would like to have you
publish this little note of thanks for an
evenings entertainment furnished by the
"Gem" moving picture parlor to lone
some travelling salesman who was ma
rooned in your town over night. / would
like to know how the management of the
"Gem" can get away with the admission
as oh arged, especially from the point of
the old films that they are unloading on
the public. During the show the films
broke four (4 times in fifteen minutes
or at the rate of sixteen Q6) times in
one hour or during the entire length of
the show of two hours, films broke thir-
tytwo (32) times, by actual count.
With all of the films that can be had
why is it that the intelligent citizens of
Thurmont are inflicted with the disease
of being tight-mouthed and afraid to voice
their disapproval. Judging from the
odors emInating from the floor ard per-
meating the entire hall, it leads a strang-
er to believe that the mountaineers or
cork crackers have not removed their
footgear for quite sometime. Let me
tell you brother if lam ever marooned in
your town again nix on the movies GEM
for mine unless there is change in the
management and the policy. To add to
my discomfort, returned to the hotel
and was locked out completely, the hotel
evidently closed about $50 for the night.
Chief clerk, bellhop and chef were evil
IDENTIFY gassed as it took me what seemed
to be two hours before received any re-
spouse to my heavy pounding and riot
calls. Being a stranges in your town, !
was unable to locate your town bell to
arouse the populace. No wonder your
town is now as it was 25 years ago.
Yours very truly,
Poor TRAVELLING MAN.

Effects of Consultation.

Constipation causes stoppage of the
sewerage system of the body. The poi
sonous refuse matter that should be car
ried away is retained in the system and
often poisons the blood and causes num-
erous disorders. No one can afford to
neglect his bowels. A dose of Cham
berlain's Tablets will afford relief.
Avoid drastic cathartics as they take TO
much water out of the system and their
use is likely to be followed by constipa
