 OYSTER BAY PEOPLE

 Their Santa Claus

oyster Bay, N. Y., Oct 2S-(By The Associated Press. )-Residents of this little hamlet today will bow their heads in sorrowful memory of a be- loved fellow villager.
 While the rest of the nation has ded- tested the day to celebrating the sixty-third anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt, statesman, President and man of letters, Oyster Bay remem- bers the familiar, sympathetic, big hearted Teddy" whose grave on the 1ltop is an ever present reminder ot their loss.
 The Titled wooded cemetery has become the object of pilgrimages from all over the world and thous- ands are looked for today
 Among them are expected hun dreds of former friends and thousands of admirers, besides formal delega- tions of Spanish and world war vet erans and Boy Scouts of America. They will come for the most part, to lay flowers or flags on the grave, willie diplomats from foreign countries will bring testimonials of respect from their governments and peoples abroad.
 
 mates of the Colonel say that of all tributes to his memory. he himself would most have appreciated those of the children whom he loved and so theirs is to be the part of paying hom- age in the name of Oyster Bay.
 The older children of Oyster Bay Cove school, which nestles in grov of trees a few hundred yards iron Rooveselt's grave, remember him a Y the Santa Claus of their annual Christ mas celebrations. Some of them now sfa in the seats and use the desks once occupied by the elder Roosevelt chil- d-en. Kermit, Theodore. Archie and FtheL None of these has forgotten the red pillow-fattened figure, rosy ' cheeks, powdered nnustache and gro. tcsque false beard of the principal actor in their Yuletide pageant.
 Three weeks before Christmas i WAS Colonel Roosevelts custom te summon the teachers to Sagamore Hill, d mile away, and there instruct usem' to have all the; children write letters to santa telling what the, wanted him to bring them Then after all the scribbled requests hae come in. the Colonel and Mrs. Roose welt would go in to New York and buy tte gifts asked for. adding to each 2 .toct' of rock candy, confection o which the Colonel recalled he hat been incrdinately fond as boy
 On Christmas Eve he and Mrs Roosevelt would drive over to the schoo where. under a great elm tree, h, would distribute the presents to fort, !. or more youngsters and then join il singing carols and romping and laugh ing with the spirit of play that neve ql1fte deserted him. From the time hi fs avn children were old enough to go t school, he missed playing Santa Clau but twice-once when he was in Africa and again during his illness at Roose welt Hospital.
 Even on the last Christmas Eve tn children were not forgotten. Colone Roosevelt delegated Archie to attend t his annual duties, telling his son wha kind of candy to buy and how to pla the part of Saint Nicholas. The nigh Archie played Santa Claus his fathe told friends who visited his bedside ho' much he missed participating in tn event.

shortage of housing conI:tions was
made recently by Morris Baron, attor-
ney of Cumberland, when he appeared
before the City Council with a sugges-
ton that the properties be exempted
from taxation for year or two. Mr..
Baron contended that more houses
there would tend to lessen rentals, in
that scarcity of houses causes demand
and creates high rental He said if
exemption from city taxes were to be
granted, that probably zUU to 300
houses would go up in the next year.
He explained that freedom from tax
alton would not mean loss to thecity
and emphasized the fact that extern
sive home building would provide
work for large number of unemploy-
ed. The matter was much discussed.
1t was said such an exemption could
be obtained only through legislative
enactment. Mayor Koon doubted
whether it would be effective.

DR.. w. D. Reed, of Fairmont, who
recently returned from a tour of Eu-
rope, having attended while in Eng
land the sessions of the Ecumenical
Convention, spent Tuesday afternoon
and evening Oakland, where he con-
versed entertaingly with his friends
concerning conditions in France, Ger
many, Belgium and England. France,
he says, is very slowly recovering
from shock of war, while on the other
hand Belgium will soon be in the posi-
ton she occupied prior to the great
struggle. In England conditions are
extremely bad, the unrest of her peo-
pie, unemployment of the laboring as
well as of other classes, all tending to
make those conditions uncomfortable.
DR.. Reed was accompanied to Oakland
by DR.. McKain, both of whom left
here Tuesday evening for Keyser,near
which city is located the Alkire fruit
orchards which they purchased yester-
day, having obtained an option on the
property several months ago.

Attorney General Alexander Arm

McGinnis, chairman of the board OF
school trustees of the Hyattsville dis
trict of Prince Georges county, that
public school houses cannot be used
for the purpose of holding political
meetings or sectarian religious dis
cussions. This opinion points out
buildings to be used for any purpose
sanctioned by the County Board OF
Education limits this power by speci-
flying that the school buildings must
be used only for non-sectarian, non
partisan and non-eXclusive purpos IS,
which shuts out political and religious
debates.

A meeting of the Democratic State
Central Committee for Garrett county
was held at the office of the chairman,
Mr.. A. T. Matthews, in Oakland, on
last Thursday at which time the COM
mittee named Mr.. S. K. Schlossnagel,
of Accident, as the second candidate
for the Office of County Commissioner.
Friday the committee went to Cum
berland where, in connection with the
committees of Washington and Allie
gany counties, the three bodies nomi-
mated Judge William E. Walsh, of
Cumberland, as the candidate of the
Democratic party for judicial honors.
Clyde c. Jones, aged 81, is original
if not honest. He is to have a hearing
at Hagerstown before United States
Commissioner Hagner on the charge
of taking the figure from cigar la
bells and FASTING it over the 81" on 81
bills, so as to make the latter pass for
SIS bills. He tried to pass the bills at
the popular and 10 cent stores and
put up a fight with the manager of
the last store visited, in which battle
he was helped by his parents. The
family were travelling in a car in
which were found revolver, jewelry,
dynamite and fuses. So the case is
not lacking in detail.

The Cecil County News says that a
minister Of Cherry Hill (Rev. J. w.
Gray has announced that he will
preach on King Solomon and His
Thousand Women" and that such in
tense interest has been aroused in the
subject that it is the generally ac-
cepted opinion large audience will
be present to hear of the domestic
tribulations of the man to whom his
tory has awarded the palm for the
marrying habit. The Elkton men, it
is said ARE curious to know how Solo
mon manged so many wives at once
and the Elkton women want to know
what is going to be said of the multi
tudinous Mrs. Solomon. Which shows
what can be done with a human in
terest in the pulpit as well as on the
stage and that it pays to advertise
even church service.

ed by bad condition Of pavements and

IN wlfch the condition Of the highway

Ths county surveyor has determined

Of tie many accidents which occur on

desk of the chief engineer a report on
every accident that occurs OF any part
of the state system.
Each patrolman is Furnished with
report blanks which. when properly
filled out, make it possible to locate
and study the exact spot where each
accident occurs. The reports also con-
tain complete Information in regard to
the nature of the accidents. how they
occur, whether or not they result fatal

and give the distance of the point
from the nearest town.
