FOR STATE BUILDING
IN BALTIMORE CITY

Governor Richie has received from
Griffenhagen & Associates, the Chic
ago firm employed by him TO make q
survey OF ,the State government, a
special report dealing with the erec-
ton or acquisition of a building to
house the State Offices now located in
Baltimore city.
The report estimates that the cost
OF suitable building TO care for the
States business in this city would
cost about 100000 and that the
carrying charges would he about
$l91 900 annually The amount the
State is now paying for rent in Balti-
more is about 100000 year. so that
there would be deficit OF about
$4,000. N
IL wss stated by the Governor that
the estimate was made for a building
larger than would he needed at the
present time and large enough to care
for the expansion of the States ac-
tivities for the next p years. and un-
I'll the building IS fully tenanted
there would be money loss to the
Stat unless the unused space could

New York Boys New Game.

The game of marbles no longer holds
a throne in boyville. Any New York
side street where there's enough room
between bluecoats and automobile
traffic to play, will show you that a
new game has taken Its place.
"Sidewalk checkers" the boys cali
It. The new game really has the ele'
ments of both the old marble shooting
days and checkers as played on a
board. Checker men are used-red,
black, blue-the color makes no diff
ference. A ring is drawn with chalk
and the object is to flip your checker
man with enough force to knock your
contenders out of the ring.

Mickle, the Printers
DeuH and His Parent
BY Congressman Guy u. Hardy, The
Daily Record, Canon City, Colorado

all the way down from the home
town state senator to Washington, D.
G. First as page in the senate and
later as office boy in the office of a
congressman. He has had won
derful career, has enjoyed some
thrilling experiences and has made
many friends. He has associated
with congressman and senators and
has made friends of all from the
White House dog to the president of
the United States
The story of .Mickie's travels to
Washington, stopping at Chicago, In
dlanapolis and other interesting
places and final arrival in Washing
ton, where the big awe-inspiring stuff
IS to be found, is the usual story of
the country boys progress on this en-
chanted trail from bonneville to the
national capital. But the wide-eved
Mickie sees things that the average
man never sees.
His experiences and observations
here have been wide and interesting.
He has been humbled, enlightend and
hundred. He has shocked and
amused those about him. He has
made a place for himself in national
history. He is loved and admired by
all his new-made friends. So popu-
lar is this little country printers
devil at the present time that if he
should happen to get run over by a
city taxi or fall with plane. it
would be an easy matter to get a bill
through congress to place his statue,
of heroic size, in capital park or
with pennies raised from the school
children of the land to build monu-
ment as high as that raised to George
Washington and Mickie knows how
high that is, for one day he climbed
its tortuous steps to the very top.
started out to write story of
my caller, Mr.. Charles Sughroe and

ing chap like you find around many
country newspaper office: He grew
up helping his father run the Herald
News, at Stockton, Illinois, a typi-
cal country town weekly newspaper
in farmer town of about 1900.
Then he discovered the possibilities
of portraying the human instincts
and wise observations of this preco-
cious little lad, and he is now spend
ing most of his time in giving these
to the world. But he still loves and
lives in Stockton. His success has
been marvellous, but his old dad has
to run the country paper practically
alone now.
Soon expect to be seeing in the
newspapers all over the country
these popular strips telling of Mick
les interesting adventures in the ma
tional capital and along the way of
his exciting tours forth and back
across the land.
l don't know how old Mickie is as
he conceals his age, so l asked Mr..
Sughroe, the parent, how long he had
been married. He blushed and said.
II have never been married, yet
but expect to be soon." I am glad
of it. For any boy of Mickie's age,
intelligence and understanding de-
serves a good mother.

A ,ngressman has many callers
and requests. He is usually glad to
have the callers as he is sociable ami
NAL in a way or he wouldn't be on
the job. Some may complain about
the numerous callers as women do of
their numerous society engagements
but he would miss them, as she would
miss them, if they did not come.
He has many requests-and in all
the years the forms of possible re-
quests have not yet been made. This
is indicated by the fact that a new
one comes forward every day. The
imagination of a large constituency
is very prolific when it comes to maxi
ing up requests for things for the
congressman to do.
One warm spring day I found a
caller in my office when l arrived in
the early morning. He was a tall,
good-looking young man from Hi
nois. l know the type as l came
from that section of the country N.Y.
self and was bashful, in those days.
A letter of introduction from a
good friend said that this was Mr..
Charles Sughroe Of Stockton, Illi-
nois, and would be so kind as to do
him any service asked. A big con-
tract, but congressman will under
take anything for a good friend.
It soon developed that Mr.. Sugh-
roe was or is the parent of Mickie,
the Printers Devil, and he wanted
me to get Mickie a job as page or
office boy or anything a boy of Mick
les age and understanding could
hold in Washington, D. C.
I have long admired Mickie. He is
a wonder, exhibiting wit and wisdom
and loyalty to the boss far beyond
his years and the common custom of
the land. But he makes fun of peo-
pie. What if he got this job and
made fun of congress? He would
get both himself and me in bad.
But Mickie has good sense, and
humor combined with good sense is
exhilarating and beneficial. Perhaps
it would be a good thing for the
country to get Mickie's viewpoint,
philosophy and good natured advice.
Perhaps it would be good thing for
Mickie to associate with the leaders
of the land and get their viewpoint.
He might go back to the. country
town, full of wisdom and polish, wits
whetted and ambition sprouted. Am
bition and an imagination sometimes
lead the printers devil to the chair at
the front room desk of the old home
town paper--as an occupant, mean
in this reference, and everybody
knows that that chair is a stepping
stone to most anything-witness nu-
merous senators and President Har-
ding.
SO in moment of enthusiasm /
promised to undertake the Job. Get
ting jobs for boys is not an easy
thing, even in Washington. There are
more candidates for the Jobs that
boys want than there are for prohi-
bltlon commissioner or president of
the United States.
AS a rule, the best boys land aud
so We landed Mickie, with the aid and
consent Of numerous political bosses

NickeIs in Phone Pay Stations.

Twenty million dollars in nickels
we're dropped in the slots of pay sta
ton telephones throughout the United
States during the first ten months Of
1920, according to an estimate by A.
i. Berry, president of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Telephone company. This, Mr..
Berry said, was an increase of s., 70O,-
600 over the corresponding period Of
the year before. To illustrate graph
tcally the S20,0OO,000> expenditure
he explained that the nickels, if placed
edge to edge, would form a line from
New York city to San Francisco and
then extend 1000 miles into the Pa
