and for the undeniable charm
of the bygone period they
represent. A few of the
pieces are:

and tables of many sizes and
kinds that filled various i'm
| portant roles in the kitchen,
| dining room or library of the
substantial early Pennsylva-
| nian. Prices from $50 up.
Two of the most interesting
are a ten-foot library table of
walnut, with claw and ball
| feet and three drawers (price
| $50O), and fine, large ma
| hogany octagonal table, said
to have passed an important
life in Washington in the
chamber of a famous old
statesman. Price $1,000.

wall and corner cupboards is a
fascinating old corner cabinet
painted a curious yellow with
blue doors, priced $110. A
handsome, large cupboard of
walnut with glass doors above
is 1925. Among the wall cup
boards is a little one painted
robin's-egg blue, with paneled
doors, at sos. Another, of
walnut, with paneled door and
deep drawer, is very interest
ing, $50.
Several Old Windsor Chairs
with comb-and-fan backs CON

INAUGURAL PARADE AND

At the Request of President-elect Har-

At the Request of President-elect Har-
ding These Features Are Dropped
Tuesday night the Associated Press
sent out from Washington the follow
ing:
Announcement that at the request
of President-elect Harding, the Wash
ington inaugural committee last night
cancelled all plans for the celebration
in connection with his inauguration in
March was received here with varying
emotion. Those who had opposed re-
viving the custom of making the af-
fair a gala one chiefly because of the
expense it involved, expressed COM
mendation. Others while sympathiz-
ing with the spirit that prompted Mr..
Harding's request, showed keen disap-
pointment. The action of the commit
tee in meeting the wishes of the Presi-
dent-elect means that the parade, the
Inauguration ball and other features
of the program that in the past has
attracted thousands to the capital
from all parts of the country, will be
dispensed with. Weeks of work by
numerous committees will be undone
and approximately 100000 SUBJ
scribed by Washingtonians will be re-
turned to them.

wEATHERING THE WINTER.

One associates with goloshes and
umbrellas upon rainy day. He
leaves them at home when the clouds
disappear. But he doesn't throw
them away. He hopes to have them
near at hand for use when it rains
again. Thus does man guard against
wet feet and soaked clothing.
Yet, somehow, man displays less
wisdom when he tries to weather a
winter. He wears his heavy cloth
ing just so long-and changes. Comse
return of wintry weather. Does
he change back? He does not. He
insists the worst of winter is over.
To that decision you may trace many
colds and deaths.
Cyrus H. Eshleman, of the U. S.
Weather Bureau, believes mankind
doesn't pay enough attention to
weather changes. He thinks much
illness would be avoided, and many
lives heightened, if humans would
weather a winter more sensibly. He
would have you change from heavy to
lighter clothing as the weather
changes, and back again. This lat
ter is important. Most persons are
eager to discard their woolens, but
dread going back to them again for
day, or a week. This, Eshleman
insists, causes many colds. These
changes are especially frequent along
the sea and lake shores.
Another weather change he points
out, comes almost every night. One
goes to sleep in. moderately warm
room. Of course the window should
be opened. This causes the change
IN room temperature, often drop of
as much as 20 degrees, Yet you have
no more cover on the bed than when
you went to sleep. This taxes the
vitality. The habit of waking and
adding more covers should be formed.
One doesn't go out into cold
weather bareheaded during the day."
Eshleman says, "but one spends hours
of the coolest night bareheaded."
Wear nightcap, he advises.
Weathering a winter is not at all
difficult if one regulates the cover
ing of his body by the temperature
OF that moment, and not blindly by
the calendar. In other words: If it
rains, raise the umbrella; lower it
when the rain stops, but don't be
foolish enough not to raise it at a fu-
ture time just because that isn't ac-
cording to the calendar, the rainy
season.

Patrons Club Meeting

The Patrons Club of the Garrett
County High and Oakland Grammar
Schools, will meet at the Grammar
School building on Tuesday evening,
January 18th, at eight O'Clock. Var
ious phases of the present Maryland
school law will be discussed. This is
certainly topic which should interest
everyone.
Strayer and Englehart, in book
published in 1920, and entitled "The
Classroom Teacher" says in part:
1.-The organization of the school sys
TEN, the preparation the teacher must
have, the type of contract entered into
with the local board of education, the
specification concerning the minimum
salary, are determined by law. The
building in which teacher works, its
lighting, heating, ventilation, are. in
many states, rigidly controlled by law
or by rules of state board which
have the effect of law. Teachers and
patrons, in fact all citizens, ought to
be so well informed that they will al
ways be found upon the side of pro-
gressive legislation. They cannot ap-
preciate the requirements which seem
to be imposed upon them except as
they understand the necessity for the
enactment of laws or the promulgat-
ing of rules and regulations which
have universal application"
1t is just for such purposes as are
mentioned above that Patrons Clubs
are organized. Won't you come to
the meeting Tuesday night? Bring
someone with you.

MINERS THREW AWAY SIS BILLS
Folded in Gift Card from Operators on
Payday and Discover Loss too Late

Folded in Gift Card from Operators on
Payday and Discover Loss too Late
At Bayard and Schell, two mining
towns on the Western Maryland Rail-
road in Garrett county, about twelve
miles south of Oakland, it is said
nearly fifty miners threw away each
So bill on payday, Friday, December
81, and did not know of their mistake
until it was too late.
1t seems that a well-known mining
company having operations at both
places placed a souvenir New Year
card in the pay envelope of each
miner as gift in which was deftly
folded new crisp S. bill, showing the
picture of Lincoln covered with mica
as if set in frame. On the card
was New Year greetings from the
company
In opening their envelopes few of
the. men examined the card closely.
but threw it away immediately en-
route home or near the office of the
mines. One miner handed his card
to his wife who examined it and dis
covered the S. note The miner told
his neighbors, and when they found
they had thrown away the New Year
card with picture on it, in which
was real money-they mentally kicked
themselves.
According to the report, one young
foreigner who picked up a card
through curiosity, promptly conducted
S. bill hunt over the hills with sat
isfactory results, in that neighbor-
hood
1t is said it will be long time be-
fore the operators hand out any more
gifts to their men.
At Bayard the Emmons Coal Mining
Company gave every family in it's en-
ploy fine dressed turkey for Christ
mas. 1t took nearly 400 to go around.
