Der of interesting speeches were made
by the retiring President, Mr.. Carson.
and by DIR. Grouse and others. New

worthy leader the Honorary Degree of

episode, representing Pan America
and the union of the two Americas by
the Bridge of Water, the Panama Can

To Miss Dorothy Elderdice as Auth

Messrs. Gilbert, Kelley, Shilling and

accompanied by Mr.. Fisher, motored to
Philadelphia on Monday last to make
a trip of inspection through the Ford
Motor Company assembly plant in
that city.
The route to Philadelphia was via
Lincoln Highway from York and the
return trip by way of Baltimore. The
roads were found to be in excellent
condition with only two short de-
tours.
The Philadelphia Branch is work
ing on a schedule of 3OS completed
cars per day and the assembling op-

instructive to the visitors.

TAX RATE $1.4O
SAME AS LAST YEAR-EIGHT PORTABLE
SCHOOL BUILDINGS ASKED FOR BY
BOARD OF EDUCATION. =

The County Commissioners of Car
roll County this afternoon announced
the county levy for the current year.
Though most of the counties of the
State have found it necessary to in
crease their levy, Carroll County's
levy will remain the same as last
year, $1.40 on the $4,000, notwith-
standing the fact that about $.07 more
will be levied for school purposes
than was levied in 1921. The principal
items of the budget are: for county
roads, $40; for hard roads and large
bridges. 10; for schools, .6S; for cleo
tions, .05; for new assessment, .031a;
for county home, care of insane, and
Jail, .O71a; for certificates of indebt-
edness and interest on notes and
bonds, .27A.
The Commissioners announce that
this levy will provide for and pay off
all matured Indebtedness of the coun
ty, Leaving unpaid only the $48,828.0O
of lateral road bonds issued last year,
which will begin to mature in 1928 in
blocks of $4,000 annually until 1888.
The greatest problem to be met
was in the appropriation for public
schools. In view of the expressed SEN
timent of the taxpayers, who, at the
special election held May 18th, by
vote of to 1, defeated the proposed
bond issue, it was decided by the
Board of Education and the County
Commissioners in conference, that the
former would ask for no appropria-
ton for new buildings. In the budget
granted by the commissioners is the
sum of $11,360 for eight portable
buildings. three for Freedom District,
four for Westminster, and one for
Taneytown. The increase in the school
tax rate, over last year is made man
datory by the increase in salaries OF
teachers in white high schools from
S26, 1888 to $45, $500, and in other
costs of control. The total amount
asked by the Board of Education in
its budget is $258,563.0S, and the to-
tai amount granted by the County
Commissioners is 1921 ,2S3.0S, the rails
ing of which requires levy of .6S on
a taxable property basis Of $32,500,-
10000.

ANYBODY AROUND HERE LOST A
PIG?

Full-fledged believers in and advo-
Gates of the Volstead prohibition en-
forcement act might, to their advan-
tage, make a note of this item:
John Hays, of harrington, Ill, had
a pig stray away from his farm, and
advertised that he would give any per-
son a drink from a bonded bottle for
the return Of the porker. The paper
had scarcely been off the press an
hour until he had 10 head of hogs to
take the place of the missing one, and
he probably has a carload by this
time.-From the Indianapolis Star,

Society Reunions.

An interesting feature of college
life is the Literary Society. At COM
mencement time is the annual reun-
ion. which usually calls for speeches
reminiscent, for some jokes, and
pleasantries, for some counsel and
advice from alumni and Silver
Grays" who may be present, and for
considerable boosting for the society
contestants who enter the oratorical
arena a few hours later. OF course
refreshments are served and social
good time had. The mems societies
are the Irving, and the Webster; and
the womens societies are the Brown
ing and the Philomathean. They all
had good times.

Annual Society Contest.

The deck was well cleared for ac-
tion in the evening of Monday the
18th, and there was action a-plenty
and edifying. If the splendid literary
numbers-orations and essays,-given
that evening are only approximately
measured up to the regular sessions
through the year, (Which, doubtless
due to the compulsory but whole
some discipline of Smith Hall. and
the strong pull of the drama and the
occasional burlesque, is hardly prob
able,) the Society must be a great
source of intellectual stimulus.
Browning contested with Philoma-
thean,-both girls societies,-and the
Irvings with the Websters. The judges
were: Judge Glen H. Worthington, OF
Frederick; Judge Oscar Lesser, of Bal
timOre: and DR.. Henry NJ. Fitzhugh,
President of the State Board of Edu-
cation. The program was as follows:

Miss Hilda Long gave the piano Sc
lection, "Cantique d'Amour," by LisZt.
The OratOriO, "Eiijah."
Mendelssohn's great production,
"Eliiah." was the musical treat not
only of the week, but of the year. Not
since the Messiah" given last year
by the same chorus, has there been
anything like it in this vicinity. 1t
was given on Tuesday evening, and
as usual. in Alumni Hall, by the Col
lege Choral Club assisted by the choir
of Carroll County.
Miss Elise Dorst, the very able Di-
rector, again achieved great success
in the presentation of this work. Her
skiIlful leadership was manifest in
the wonderful general excellence and
technique characterizing the whole
performance.
Miss Dorst and her Chorus of near
ly two hundred voices, were ably sup
ported by Mrs. Harry KINNEY at the
piano, and by Mr.. John c. BOIL and
his well-known orchestra from Baltl-
more. and by the following noted

stitute.
DR.. Merrill Hopkinson, Bass, wei
known throughout Eastern cities as

Miss Langhammer's singing and in
Iterpretations were unusually fine. Hel
voice was peculiarly clear and sweet
and tone quality excellent in all its
ranges. Mrs. Murphy also added to he
llaurels and prestige in the splendlt
work done here. Mr.. Lehman has ;

Again on Sabbath evening the peo-
pie were treated to a great discourse
by DR.. James H. Straughn, President
of the Maryland Annual Conference of
the Methodist Protestant Church. Dr.
Straughn spoke to the young people,
and especially to the Christian Asso-
Citations. Again the College Choir sang
two anthems,-"Gloria. Twelfth Mass, -
by Mozart, and "Cantate Domino c.
by Dudley Buck. The sermon was an
inspiration, a call to the life of ser
vice and loyalty to the truth as it is
in Jesus. Decision for Christ means
relief from doubt and fear, from spir-
itual death, from selfishness, and it
means the life of faith, service, and
joy.

Hopkinson's interpretations of Elijah
were wonderful. Powerful and dramat-
ic, natural and sincere, his enuncia-
tion was perfect and technique fault
less. The orchestra did splendid work
and was greatly appreciated. The col
lege friends were especially pleased
to hear Miss Florence Johnson's rich,
deep contralto, in beautiful trio with
Miss Langhammer and Mrs. Murphy.
The audience was unusually large,
and the proceeds will go towards the
Organ Fund for Alumni Hall.
