STATE ENFORCEMENT BILL
KILLED

The State Enforcement bill,
which was passed by the House
of Delegates two weeks ago, and
which was also passed by the
Senate last week, after adding
the referendum clause, was kill
ed by its own sponsors upon its
return to the House Tuesday
when it rejected the Senate ref
erendum amendment. In other
words the dry forces felt that
they would rather kill the bill en-
tirely than to run the risk of
perhaps receiving overwhelming
defeat at the hands of the vot-
ers, which would likely have been
the result had such drastic bill
been put before them.
The Eighteenth Amendment
is now the law of the land and like
any other law should be observed
and enforced. If the majority
of the people had been opposed
to the adoption Of the law it new

err would have had a two-thirds
vote of Congress and ratifica-
ton by both houses of Leglsla-
lures in 46 of the 48 states. We
also believe it to be the duty of
the States to aid in enforcing
this and all other Federal laws.
The United States is made up OF
the several States, all Of which
are members of the general body
and should unitedly support all
laws. ;.
But the measure proposed IN
the Legislature was more than an
enforcement act to aid the en-
forcement of the Federal law.
It was drastic prohibition
measure In itself, and would
have gone very far indeed to-
wards interference with individ-
nal rights, and, though desiring
to see the prohibition law
thoroughly observed and enforc-
ed, we believe the Maryland
Senate wisely added the referen-
dunn to the measure.
If the dry forces continue to
demand such drastic, intolerable
| measures, we have no doubt
they will bring down upon their
heads the wrath of the voters,
inst as befell the saloons for the
degrading, obnoxious conditions
which surrounded the greater
percentage of them.

ANNAPOLIS LETTER

sion over the budget bills, but
that is rapidly clearing UP, and
there is very little likelihood of
any serious trouble over those
important matters, when certain
not very important details are
settled. These details are now
in process of adjustment, and
after that is done there is a
strong probability that the legis-
lature will complete the session
without any unusual rush during
the last few days. The race
track proposition is now nearing
satisfactory agreement, and
probably before this letter is
published, it will be settled by
a compromise of some sort, and
this source of annoyance to the
statesmen be done away with,
for the time being at least.
Among the State officials now
looking after the larger interests
of the common wealth, it is
pleasure to make mention of the
Comptroller Mr.. William S.
Gordy. This able young fnan-
cier, has taken hold of his duties
in a systematic way, and is al
ready in complete control of his
work. He is running his part
of the States business in
thorough accord with Treasurer
John NJ. Dennis and these two
experienced business men and
bankers are managing the fin
ancial affairs of Maryland with
great credit to themselves ard
the people of the State whose
trustees they are. 1t is espe-
clally fortunate, that:in these try
ing times, the commonwealth
should be able to secure men of
such experience and honesty to
look out for the public business,
to care for the funds, to keep
the sinking funds intact, (which
has not always been the case in
past times) to sell the States
bonds to the best advantage, and
to safeguard the expenditures
of the funds at the hands
OF the large number of disburse-
ing officials. To persuade men
of the character and standing of
Messrs Dennis and Gordy, to de-
vote a large portion of their val
liable time to the public service,
at comparatively small salaries,
is source of rare good fortune,
and it is to be hoped that the
people will appreciate them at
their proper value.
Senator Sasscer, the young
member of the Upper House
from Prince Georges County,
has made an excellent record
since the opening of the session,
and it is the general opinion here
that he has before him bril-
liant future in the public affairs
OF Maryland. His father, Fred
erlck Sasscer, editor of the
Prince Georges Enquirer, is one
OF the ablest of the County News
paper men of the State and the
young Senator is a worthy son of
his honored father. Unlike
most young men who are placed
in positions of such responsibility.
Mr.. Sasscer has no sign of that
so often fatal disease, known as
sWelled head, but is rather mod
est and retiring, and never
thrusts himself unduly forward
In any manner whatever. He
is concise and forcible speaker,
and knows when he has said
enough, and when to stop. He
is popular with his colleagues
and all with whom he comes in
contact, and will prove worthy
successor of the long line of able
men who have represented his
County at Annapolis in years
past.

next year to augment the present
golf course with additional holes and
to build numerous other tennis courts

The proximity of the proposed sta
dunn to the water would permit long

while an interior pool would serve
for diving and short distance swim

have seen the Colosseum at Rome that

a difficult task to so construct the
seating and housing parts Of the
stadium as not to cause a sinking
of the terrain. for while that section
of the city's playground is located on
what is known as made ground"
there is sufficient bottom to hold a
structure heavy enough to provide
seating capacity for thousands. and
in case the engineers should not find
the ground to be sufficiently settled,
a system of piling made of concrete
piers could be sunk and used az a
foundation.

SOME FACTS ABOUT POTTERY

elaborate. as one desires. After the
object is fired it is removed from the
furnace and a preparation for pro-
ducing a suitable glaze Is put on.
This glaze is composed Of a base
which has been thoroughly tested.
1t is g composition of white lead.
fsldspar, whiting, kaolin and calcium.
The glaze which has been tested for
| coloring is composed of various pro-
portions of black oxide Of copper.
nickel oxide and black oxide Of CO.
bait. The measurements are so deli
cate that one one -hundredth of
gram makes a difference. The in
gradients are ground in a pebble mill
until thoroughly mixed.
The firing of glazed pottery must
be carried to certain temperatures to
produce suitable effects. In order 10
determine the exact time to remove
the pieces from the furnace there is
an ingenious arrangement. Sc; OF
cones, made OF materials which be-
come soft at Il given degree of heat,
are put into the oven with the pieces
Of pottery. When a cone that is to
correspond with a certain color. as
found by previous tests. begins TO
soften and falls over. that piece of
pottery is removed from the oven.
The history of pottery dates back
to the primitive times. The clay
upon the river banks may have offer
ed a substitute for a broken gourd
that had been carried q distance to
be filled with water by the first men.
Perhaps he idly fashioned the ball OF
clay in imitation of the gourd and
followed 1t, leaving it in the sun.
where he later found il a haradereo
water-holding substitute for the
gourd.

plan, SO far, has worked out on the
golf course. The man having the con-
cession is held responsible for keep
ing the grounds in condition. Were
it not for the revenue derived from
this source the authorities would not
be able to keep the grounds in any
shape. as the appropriation for this
work not only will not permit of a
continued upkeep. but will not in any
way. whatsoever, assist in improve
ments.
The present plan of Lieut. Col. Sher-
rill and Mai. Weart is. as soon as
Congress appropriates the necessary
amount of money. to go ahead and
commence the primary work that is
necessary in the building of stadium.
1t is hoped also that money will
be forthcoming by which a concrete
walk may he continued from just be-
low the Girl Scouts tea house all the

would provide an excellent promenade.
There would. of course. have to be

Officials of the department have
made the announcement that some life
preservers have been stolen. and they
are very emphatic in the declaration
that the miscreant or miscreants, il
caught. will be dealt with most
severely, for the absence of a life
preserver at one particular point may
result in a drowning.
The stadium could be dedicated as
monument to all of the soldiers who
participated in the world war. There
is no reason that Washington should
not have a place of this kind. The
time has long since passed when we
should sit down and play second fiddle
to any country, either in war, COM
merce or athletics.

THERE are three kinds of pottery
thrown pottery. which is shaped
on rapidly revolving disk; poured,
or commercial pottery, made from a
plaster mold, and built pottery, which
work or molds is necessary.
For these the preparation of the
clay is a scientific process. The in
gredients-bal clay, flint powder,
feldspar and kaolin-are carefully
selected and weighed in certain pro-
portions SO they will fuse properly
and become sufficiently hard when
shaped and fired. The mixture stands
until thoroughly soaked and then is
lawned through fine linen and Dump
ed into a plaster box, which absorbs
the water and leaves the clay in a
condition to be beaten.
All the air bubbles must be driven
out of the ball of clay before It is
placed on the throwing wheel
Workers in pottery delight in the
touch of the plastic clay as it spins
upon the disc and claim that the
forming vase or bowl is as fascina-
ting to the touch as it soon becomes
to the sense of sight. The thumbs
make the inside Of the object, while
the extended fingers shape the wallis
Perhaps the clay will be \ little too
wet; then a squashinH Of the mass
terminates the work with that par
ticular piece Of material. 1t is sent
back to the plaster box to have more
Of its moisture absorbed. After the
work of art is properly shaped and
again put into a plaster box to be-
come leather hard. it is finished or
turned. Different tools are used for
this purpose.
|. Poured pottery is more convenient
where numbers of pieces are to be
made -alike. A plaster mold is fill
ed with the wet clay and the latter
is allowed to stand until the part
next to the plaster wallis has hardened.
When this outer edge is dry the moist
clay is poured out and the shell lifted
from the mold. '-'' %
Built pottery offers an inducement
to the amateur who Is not provided
with the throwing wheel and the nec-
essary motor for running It. In this
process the pottery is rolled into long
10 wound around IN the desired form.
1t. is then smoothed down and filled
