MARYLAND DRYS TO WAR
ON NEAR-BEER SALOONS
Will Ask Legislation to Eliminate
Screens, Frosted Windows and
All Distractions.

0AA SDSt1 uCL1OuSs
Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. February 5.-The
Maryland Anti-Saloon League now
plans 10 make the barroom a thing
|of the past in reality by wiping out
George w. Crabbe, superintendent of
the league, who says his organization
will bend every effort to clean up the
old saloon places entirely, or at least
to take away from them every YES
itige of a reminder Of the good old
days"
With the majority of the near-beer
saloons retaining their former ap-
pearance. as far as it relates to the
frosting of windows, the familiar
swinging door and drawn curtains, or,
as the dry forces claim, anything
to conceal from the outside what is
taking place on the inside, they have
become to the prohibition clans what
the red flag is to the Infatuated bo-
vine.
Mr.. Crabbe said that efforts are now
being made to have a law enacted by
the next legislature that will elimi-
nate entirely all screens frosted win
dows and other Instructions to fun
view Of the near-beer places. In this
way he believes that much Of the IL
ltcit panhandling Of whisky or other
alcoholic beverages will be done away
with.
we have many complaints from
friends Of law and order because in
certain sections of the city and state
the old saloons look just like they
always did, said Mr.. Crabbe. This
proposed new law would apply to all
soft-drink places and every place ex-
cept bona-fide drug stores where any
liquor or liquid containing alcohol is
sold for beverage purposes. Heavy
penalties will be provided for viola
ton of the proposed law"

The American Legion flag will fly
in a part Of New Orleans that has
been under five flags, for the city
administration has turned ever q

quarter to posts of the Legion for
four years.
Not far from the Legion building Is
the Spanish Cabildo where the Spanish
colors flew In the breezes from the
Gulf Of Mexico until they were re.
placed by the French. The Louisiana
Purchase In 1904 resulted in the ap.
pearance Of the Stars and Stripes on
the ramparts. In 1872, the British
flag flew also In that vicinity for a few
days. During the Civil war the Con.
federate colors waved proudly over
the southern city. When the wounds
Of civil strife were healed the Stars
and Stripes again reappeared.
The Legion building will have IN

The State Board Of Health is max;
ing drive for complete and accurate
records Of all babies born in 1921. In
4 joint letter from the Bureau Of Vital
Statistics and Child Hygiene we are
asked to request our readers to send
to us for publication the records of
babies born in this vincinity. There
are local registrars in every ward and
in every community, but they are not
always informed Of the birth of chill
dren. Sometimes the certificates arc
delayed and many births are never
recorded.
The birth certificate is often needed
to prove property rights, to obtain EN-
ployment, for entrance to school and III
some states to obtain a marriage IL
cense.
It Is fair to the child to neglect
this important record.
LOuisiana's death reports are &C.
copied by the U. s. Bureau Of the
Census as sufficiently complete to en-
title the state to recognition in the
Registration Area. With a little hell
from the citizens throughout the state
the required number of birth certifi'
Gates can be obtained and the state
will then have equal statistical rank
with other states which hive been nc.
cepted by the government.

S|eepy Sickness.

Sleepy sickness is quite different
disease from the somewhat similarly
named, but far more deadly, sleeping
sickness, which Is a tropical disease.
Sleepy sickness was first noticed In
England in 1918. There is little doubt
that the cause of this mysterious com.
plant Is a microbe. The microbes con.
centrate their attack on the brain,
causing Iethargy and facial paralysis,
the patient lying for days in bed with
motlonless head and expressionless
face. like mask, reminding one Of the
,effigy on q tomb. Doctors are not yet
definitely agreed as to whether the hic.
cough epidemic and the sleepy sickness
are different diseases, or whether the
one Is merely a symptom Of the other.
Probably the latter view Is the correct
one, seeing that violent and prolonged
hiccoughs were noticed In connection
with the outbreak Of sleepy sickness
that ravaged Vienna In the early part
Of last year.

NEEDS TOO MUCH ExERT|0N
Writer Refuses to Go Too Deeply
Into What Might Be Called
~ and Me" Problem.

The line, "Look what done for you
and him and me-" is good American,
but better American, believe, would
be, "Look what | done for him and
you and l." This, however, writes
Ring Lardner in the Bookman, brings
up q subject to which one ought to be
able to devote a whole volume, but
one amt goin' to. One is only goln
to state that mysterious rules govern
the cases of personal pronouns In OUT
language and one hasn't had time to
solve the mysteries even since prohibi-
ton.
We say, "He come up to me In the
club" but we also say, HE come up
to Charley and l in the club" or even
"IIe come up to l and Charley In the
club" Charleys presence in the club
seems, for "some reason or another"
TO alter my case. The other night l
was reading Il play script by one Of
this country's foremost dramatists;
and recurring in 1t was the stage d.
rection, "A look passes between he
and So-and-So." But this playwright
wouldn't think Of saying or writing,
"She passed he a look"
My theory on this particular point
Is that when the common American
citizen, whom we will call Joe, was In
his last year In school 1.-THE sixth
grade), the teacher asked him how
many boys there were In his family.
He replied: Just Frank and me"
"Just Frank and l." corrected the
teacher. And the correction got Joe
