Wallace Reid In
Film at Palace

A RARE combination Of photo
"A play clements is offered at
Loew's Palace this week in
Clarence" William DeMille's s
picturiza ton of the stage success
by Booth Harrington that rep
resents one of the drollest COM
edv connections Harrington has
ever given to American letters.
The DeMille version brings to
the title role no less star than
Wallace Reid. surrounded with a
cast that includes the beautiful
Agnes AYres, the no less beautiful
May Nc Avov and Kathlyn VIII
liams, Bertram Johns. Adolph
Menio lou. Edward Martindel. Maym
Kelso and others. The play was
adapted bv Clara Beranger.
The story presents Wallace
Reid in the role of a former mule
driver of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces. honorably dis
charged from the fighting forces
of Uncle Sam and seeking en-
ployment in the household of the
Wheelers at a time when that
household is torn with domestic
strife. To this troubled household,
Clarence not only brings a vast
efficiency he claims to have
picked up in the army, but also
the melodious strains of a saxo-
phone which he loves and which
the family soon adores also.
Just how he straightens out the
tangled affairs of his employers s
family and falls in love with the
governess is too good a story to
tell in advance. but it is a story
handled with humorous and atmo-
spheric charm.
The management has supple
mented the featured offering with
a new Christy comedy, Choose
Your Weapons" in which Bobby
Vernon is featured. The Pathe
News Views, Topics of the Day
and an orchestra overture by the
Palace Symphony Orchestra under
Mrs. Thomas Joseph Cannon,
completes the bill.

First of all was Lynne Over

Mr.. OVerman trolicked with the
Garrick Players quite spell

Thanks to him. the play is a
pleasing farce. 1t is, essentially

farce. and without Mr.. Overman
to set the pace one might inn
egine that the show was just
what it is. At that. the bedroom
isn't a regular bedroom-it's a

the farmers of Maryland a State wide

Want Road Law Changed.

A large number of citizens and tax
payers assembled here last week
in the Circuit Court room to discuss
proposed changes in the present system
of conducting and maintaining the
highways of the county. Senator Sas
seer and Delegates George J. Hes,
Charles B. Ager, William P. Magruder
and Arthur C. Keefer were present to
get the ideas of their constituents.
C. M. Roberts was unable to be pres
ent.
Dl. John E. Sansbury Of Forestville,
presided and W. B. Posey, County
Agent, was secretary.
There was decided sentiment in ia
vor of doing away with the present
road law, mainly on account of the
heavy overhead charges. A law is ia
vored that would provide for the ap-
pointment of five citizens in each dis
trict to take charge of the roads in
their respective districts and to be res
ponsible to the County Commissioners.
and there were number who favored
the appointment of County Superin-
tendent who should be a Road Engi-
neer.
After a representative from each
of the ninteen districts had given his OF
her views on the proposition, commit
tee of eighteen was named, one from
each district to meet at the call of the
chairman, this committee to name
smaller committee, the latter would be
charged with drafting of an act that
would satisfy, as far as possible, all the
people of the county.

Treasury Savings Certificates

Official announcement has been re
ce'ved by the Postmaster Of Upper
Marlboro, Nd. that the interest rate OF
Treasury Savings Certificates has been
increased To Al per cent. The higher
rate goes into effect on the 1922 issue
of the certificates placed on sale Jan
uary 1st at the local post Office.
Increase of the interest rate on this
class of government securities means
that Uncle Sam will really sell $25
certificates for 500, $l00 certificates fer
$50, and $1,000 certificates for $500,
provided the p1Ichaser or recipient
holds the security to its five year mat
urity date. Another feature of the
new certiti Gates is the fact that indivi-
duals and corporations will be permit
ted to purchase and own as high as
5000 worth Of the securities by virtue
of recently enacled legislation. The
previous limit was $1,000 and the form
er interest rate 4 per cent.
The Treasury has concentrated on
.he new securities. eliminating the
twenty five cent thrift stamp and the
S. wal saving stamps after December
81 1921, Sale of the ST treasury saw
ing stamp will be continued 20 provide
an easy method of regular saving foi
conversion into Treasury Savings Ger
tidcates.
New regulations provide also that
postal savings may likewise be con
verted in Treasury Savings Certif
Gates under a com bined plan of sale be-
tween the Treasury and the Post Otf1
Department. The certificates offer idea
investment opportunities up IL
$4,000, as they are exempt from al
state, county aud local taxes and th'
normal income tax.
mo safer investment can be foun
than these certificates for the indlVld
ual who cannot afford to run the risE
of loss. Those securities are guarah
both as to principal and interest by tn
resources of the United States Govern
ment and are not subject to marke
fluctuations" sail Howard T. Cree
