WOULD LEAVE PRESENT
BOARD UNDISTURBED

Important fundamental changes in
The system Of county government, es-
pecially as concerns the administra-
ton OF roads, arc embodied in a bill
introduced in the House of Delegates
today by Delegate Allen Bowie How
ard. Being a local bill, it was refer
rcd to the Anne Arundel delegation,
of which Mr. Howard is chairman.
According to this bill, the present
Board of County Commissioners and
the road law would be undlsturbed
for the balance of the term of office
for which they were elected, but at
the end OF their term in November.
1928, the following provisions would
take effect;
There ould be elected at that time
a Board of three County Commission
ors, instead of seven. who would hold
Office for a term of four years. They
you'd receive salary of 81 200" each,
without any other allowance of any
kind whatever. and to qualify would
have to he residents of Anne Arundel
county for period of ten years prior
to the time of their election, and to
be bona fide assessed for real estate
in Anne Arundel county for at least
$500. which assessment must have
been on the hooks at least one year.
The till further prcscrites their
duties as a Road Board, and requires
that they should give direct personal
attention to the road work, and shall
make careful inspection OF the same
and familiarize themselves particu-
larry with these duties. They are to
meet at least once week, as a road
board, as we'll as for general business.
Their books, accounts and audits
shall lie strictly kept and shall be
part of the oren records of the Office.
The bill goes On to provide for a
road tax not exceeding eighty cents
in any district
Another main provision of the bill
lis the appointment by the Board to
te elected in November. 1928, within
sixty days OF their election and quail
iication, OF a county road engineer at
4 salary not exceeding $500, with
an allowance for travelling and all
other expenses not exceeding $780,.
According to this proposed bill, it
Is estimated that very material saw
.ng viii lie effected to the taxpayers.
and at the same time promote ell
cheney in the matter OF road admin
istration.
*This was amended later so as to
makc the salary $1,000, instead OF
1900.

changes Of fortune and position: for
most of his life my father kept little
shop in suburb OF London and eked
out his resources BY playing game
called cricket. which is not only a
pastime but a show which people will
pay 10 see and which. therefore. af-
fords living for professional play

my mother. who had once been a
lady's maid, became. when | was u
years old, housckeeper in large
country house.
Il. too, was destined to he shop
keeper. left school at 10 for that
purpose. was apprenticed first 70 be
a chemist. and. that proving uns.tis-
factory, to draper. But after a year
or so 1t became evident To me that the
facilities for higher education that
were and still arc constantly incrcas-
ing in England offered me better
chances m life than a shop and COM
parative illiteracy could do. and so |
struggled for end got various grants
and scholarships that enabled me to
study and take degree in science
and some mediocre honors in the new
and now great and growing Univcr-
s!ty Of London.
after | had graduated taught
biology for two or three years and
then became journalist, partly be-
cause il is more renlancrative pro-
fcssion in England than teaching, but
partly also because had always
taken the keencst interest in writing
English. Some little kink in my mind
had always made the writing OF prose
very interesting to me.
Il began first TO write literary ar
ticlea. criticisms, and so forth, and
presently shor. Imaginative stories in
which | made use Of the teeming sug-
gestions OF modern science. There is
9 considerable demand for this sort oil
fiction in Great Britain and America
and my first book, The Time Ma.
chine published in 1895, attracted
considerable attention. and with twc
of its successors, The War of the
Worlds and The Invisible Man. gave
me a sufficient popularity to devote
myself exclusively, and with a certain
sense OF security, TO purely literary
work. -

The statement recently was made
by a reliable authority that the use OF
the word please" in kilograms costs
the people of this country $1,000 600 a
year II would not be possible to es-
innate with any degree OF accuracy
the amount OF money, labor and time
that arc utilized in other forms of
courtesy. but 1t is safe to assume that
our courtesy bill each year runs far
into tho millions OF dollars.
And this does not by any means
represent wasted energy or money
unwisely spent.
Perhaps it would be better il we
laid even greater stress on these nice.
ties and formalities. A cheerful word
or smile may sometimes prove to be
an excellent investment. Sunshine
and gladness have their rightful place
IN our daily affairs. There is greatest
efficiency where there Is happiness
and good will. Cooperation, which is
one of the great essentials OF organ
lied business success. is the manifes-
tatfon of mutual friendliness.
No great accomplishment in life
was ever achieved by pessimist. 1t
las always been the optimists who
have done tho big things Their vi
sion. huoyancy and unfaltering hops.
fuiness have carried them through to
success, and marked the strides of
civilizations progress.
1T is a part of real thrift and efTl-
cioacy to face life with happy heart.
and to treat those with whom wo
come in contact with courtesy and
consideration.
The Americans who spend a million
dollars to insert the word please" in
their kilograms made good invest
ment, for happiness and consideration
for others are essentials of efficiency:
and efficiency is thrift.
