BALTIMORE WARD %
is IN 5TH DISTRICT

Attorney-General Alexander Arm
strong has ruled that the Twenty
third ward of Baltimore city is a part
of the Fifth Congressional district,
under laws passed by the last General
Assembly defining these districts.
The ruling followed an inquiry
made by Max Ways, president of the
Board of Supervisors of Elections of
Baltimore, after it was learned that
the new laws did not include the ward
in any district, but put the Twenty
second ward in both the Second and
Fifth.
Reading Of the original bills. the
opinion said, indicated that the only
changes planned were to transfer the
Twelfth ward from the Fourth to the
Third district and to include in the
Fifth district certain precincts of the
Eighteenth and Twenty-fifths wards
The words Twenty-second were not
italicized in the bill defining the Fifth
district, according to the opinion, and
the Legislature could never have in
tended to place the Twenty-second in
both. Hence Twenty-second, in the
Fifth District bill. must be construed
TO read Twenty-third, the opinion
said.

HOW LAW ON ROADSIDE
ADVERTISING SIGNS
IS NOW ADMINISTERED

In conformity with an agreement
between the State Board of Forestry
and the State Roads Commission. the
law, prohibiting the placing of adver-
tising signs within the right-of-way
of any public highway of the State,
has teen amended. On June 1, the
State Roads Commission assumed re-
sponsibility for the enforcement of
the law on state highways, while the
State Board of Forestry will continue
to enforce the law on ether than state
roads
The original law, prohibiting adver-
tising signs within the right-of-way
of the public highway. was enacted
in 1914, and shortly thereafter, the
State Board of Forestry appointed
June the 20 as Signboard Day. On
that day. through the cooperation of
civic organizations, Boy Scouts. i'm
provemcnt associations, and the like.
many thousands of advertising signs
inaugurated for the purpose of beau
tifying our highways by the elimina-
ton of unsightly advertising upon
trees. fences, and other structures
within the right-of-way Of the high
ways has been universally commend
ed. SignLoards outside of the right
of-way, which were erected with the
written consent of the owner, are
exempt.
The State Board of Forestry is
highly appreciative of the splendid CO.
operation given by the people of the
State, interested in making our road
sides more attractive
The responsibility for keeping ad-
vertising from the state roads now
rests with the State Roads Commits
sion. and not with the State Board of
Forestry. 1t is hoped that the good
work accomplished in the last eight
years will lie continued, with even
greater effectiveness under the chang
ed administration.

FINE ELECTRIC AND
OTHER DECORATIONS

Dahlgren Hall at the Naval Acad-
emy presented a brilliant scene last
night for the farewell ball to the class
of 1922, given by the new First Glass.
In striking carnival surroundings
that set of the brilliancy of the wo-
mems gowns and the mems gold lace
and shoulder straps, the thousands of
guests danced through the evening
regardless of the pouring rain that
drenched the surrounding lawns and
made II impossible TO sit outside. On
account of the uncertainty of the wea-
ther for the past two days, il had been
decided TO serve refreshments in the
midshipmen's mess hall, which proved
a wise precaution.
The road leading To the main en-
trance of the ballroom was outlined
with strings of many colored lights
and elaborate lighting effects were
carried out in the hall itself
Decorative Scheme
French blue and bright yellow were
the colors that prevailed in the deco
rations. alternating fringes of the two
colors were suspended from the bal
cony. Life-sized Harlequin figures,
supporting great colored balls. were
placed at regular intervals along the
gallery and quantities OF balloons.

The ball last night is thought to
have been the largest ever given in
Annapolis. On account of the wetness
of the night the thousands of guests
were forced to remain in the ballroom
or under the colonnade of Bancroft
Hall. 1t is safe to say that not one
OF the many June Week visitors that
have come from far and near TO at
tend the graduation of the class OF
1922 missed the crowning event OF the
festivities. In addition to the officers
of the practice squadron that will on
