D|SSENS|ON AMONG
c. D. P. OF COUNTY
Governor Ritchie Somewhat At
Sea As To Naming Supervisor
Of Election

Dlssension among the Republicans
OF Anne Arundel county has present
cd Governor Ritchie a problem deal
ing with the appointment OF a MEM
Der OF the Board of Election Super-
visors of that county, and the Cover
nor has accordingly presented the
problem in three phases to Attorney
General Armstrong for solution.
The circumstances which have de-
'veloped the problem are thus set be-
'ore the Attorney-Genera in the Gov
ernor's letter:
FOR the last two years Hershey
Meade has been the Republican mem
Der OF the Board of Supervisors of
Elections for Anne Arundel county.
HIS term ran until the first Monday OF
May, 1922.
AT the last Legislature | sent to
the Senate the name of Arthur B. Car
ter to succeed him. Mr.. Carter's name
was selected by me from the list OF
four handed in by the Republican
State Central Committee. Mr.. Carter
was rejected by the Senate. either on
!he last day or the last day but one of
the session, and no other name was
handed' by me to the Senate in his
place.
have now been requested to name
another Republican on the Board. At
first | was under the impression that
| did not have the right to do so, but
that Mr.. Meade simply held over. AZ
terward | looked at the case of Rig
gan VS.. Lankford, 134 Md, LAG, and it
seemed to me that | was wrong and
that 1t was both my right and my duty
to make the appointment now"
Having thus posed the general
problems, the Governor seeks official
guidance on the three following
points:
Il. Have the power -. now to
appoint Republican member of the
Board in place of Mr.. Meade. the SEN
ate having, of course, adjourned?
20. II | have. then do you think /
am Obliged to exercise this power in
view of the fact that if do not the
Republican representative will not be
taken from the list handed in by the
Republican State Central Committee,
as the law contemplates?
"3. If | should make this appoint
mcnt now, then should make the Sc
lection from the list of four handed
in during the last Legislature by the
Republican State Central Committee
or should l ask for a new list. or can
l exercise my discretion about this?"
The law provides that the State
Central Committee. Republican and
Democratic, shall each submit to the
Governor a list OF four names from
each of which the Governor shall Sc
lect one member of the Board of Elec-
tion Supervisors for the unit in ques-
ton. This gives a Republican MEM
ber and a Democratic member of the
Board. while the third member of
each board is appointed, at large, so
to speak, by the Governor.

"The Mad-Dog Scare.-As the warm

the mad-dog business start When
ever a dog gets sick or acts queer in
any way, at once the cry is started OF
mad-dog. Some one begins to club
him or throw sticks or stones at him.
Under these circumstances, 1t is ma
tural that he should begin to snap
and bite, as 1t is his only means OF
defense AS the dog sweats through
his mouth, it takes the form of foam,
especially when he can't get water.
81 should like to say that this mad
dog business is a mere superstition.
The disease is so very rare that many
eminent authorities, after years of in
vestigation and their inability to find
a genuine case of rabies, have become
so skeptical as to doubt that there is
such a disease. The difficulty in the
matter is that there are about ~
other diseases which have symptoms
similar to those of the alleged rabies.

any one persuade you he is mad. but
put him in some cool, comfortable
place, with proper food and water.

The Old Mechanic Saws:

When folks come in here to get
their cars and pay their bills. it's
funny how they all ask. What was
wrong with it% They want to know
what broke or what went wrong.
what I had to do to fix it and how
much it all costs. But they seldom
ask me what caused the trouble, or
whether they had anything to do with it.
The trouble with that chap who
just drove out is that he doesn't know
how to handle the spark. He thinks
he picked a lemon just because he
had to have new wrist pins put in
every now and again or a bearing
taken up. The whole trouble with his
car is himself. I've told him a dozen
times not to accelerate the car with
the spark fully advanced. but he pays
no attention to my advice. because he
can't visualize what's going on in his
engine when he does the wrong thing.
With the spark fully advanced the
plugs fire the mixture of their cylin-
ders long before the piStons reach the
top of their compression stroke.
When an engine gets up speed and
the road is level it's better for the
spark to arrive early, because it gives
the gas vapor better chance to burn
completely. expand and do its work
of pushing the pistonS down. . But
when the car is dragging, an early or
advanced spark tends to make the
pistons reverse their motion. The
momentum of the car and the speed
of the engine prevent them from ac-
tually doing this. but the reverse
force pistons receive under these
conditions acts like hammer blow.
thus wearing out the wrist pins and
straining the bearings.
IF that chap would learn to handle
his spark properly he'd realize that
his own driving is what gives the car
the lemon flavor"

Irrespective of the automobile nd
vertfsements. there are really JUST
two speeds-lawful and awful.
Choosing Garage Doors.

While the home garage still exists
on paper no feature of it's construc-
ton deserves more careful considera-
ton than choice of door. poorly
planned door may be a source OF con-
tinual regret while one that cannot
be operated with a minimum OF enort
will plague the patience Of modern
Job.
Wide openings are essential in
this type of construction. Both con-
venience and safety demand that
ample width of entrance be provided.
Damaged tenders may be the price
of sacrificing this detail in an effort
to lower structural costs. On the
other hand, a full width entrance may
necessitate a special type Of door.
built to operate successfully under
limitations of space that are unavoid-
able.
Certain considerations strongly in
dicate the desirability of having the
garage door open inwardly rather
than outwardly. Appearances GER
tainly favor the former. but more
than this is the fact that doors which
rest when open against the outside
of the building may be damaged easily
by wind. Furthermore. it becomes nee
essary in winter to remove accumulated
snow before they can be operated.
In the case of a small garage. built
to house a single car at the least
possible structural expense, it is i'm
possible to arrange the doors to open
inwardly without reSorting to one of
several devices that may be had for
so hanging them that they can be
slid back into the building without
coming in contact with the car itself
Doors of this kind are made in vari-
Gus styles
For small building a door of two
sections. both of which slide to one
side. can oe used. This provides ample
entrance space for a single car. 1t is

Custom Built for Driving Comfort

No one deserves from the automobile
manufacturer more thought for comfort
than the man behind the wheel.
The kissel Six is custom-built for the
man or woman who drives, as we'll as for
those who ride; and many exclusive fea-
lures of design and construction earn for
it this comment of veteran motorists
"the easiest car to handle ever saw.
Because Kissel has planned for driving
comfort and control, the stems of clutch
and service brake can be adjusted to foot
reach; the long gear shift lever is topped
with a two.inch knob to which the hand
falls naturally from the wheel; the steering
post is adjustable to the drivers height.

also possible to hang the doors in
separate sections--one of which slides
around to either side. These doors
operate in small space and close
tightly into the door frame. Some of
them have one panel constructed into
a smaller door. which may be used in
gaining entrance to the garage at
such times as it Is not desired to slide
the larger doors for taking out the
car
Doors built in small sections that
fold back upon themselves meet the
requirements of large door openings,
such as are needed in the garage
where two care are kept. These
doors may be had in any size from
three to ten panels and may be hung
all at one side or equally on either
side. Five-section installations are
sometimes made-three panels on one
side and, two on the other. Each
section of these doors is supported
by an overhead track. Consequently,
they cannot sag and are easily operat-
ed. If made to fold on the inside of
the garage the wind can never slam
or otherwise disturb them. Where
space conditions make 1t necessary
it is possible to install them on the
outside. This. of course. is not de-
sira BILE when the arrangement can be
effected otherwise.

Did You Know

That paper binding strips. which
grocers now use in place of cord. is
handy to seal up the cracks of a
broken windshield or window? The
paper not only prevents air and rain
from coming in. but keeps the glass
from cracking more or falling out.
One strip should be attached to the
outside: one to the inside. The un-
slightly appearance of these paper
strips is constant reminder to the
owner to have new glass put in when
they. have served their purpose as an
emergency aid.
That a creaking sound in rear
wheel when the clutch is let in may
be due to a loose wheel on the axle.
provided the axle is the semi or
three-quarters floating type. in which
the wheel is not rigidly attached to
the axle? In this type of axle the
wheel fits on to the tapered end of
the shaft and is locked into place
with large nut. which is. in turn.
secured by a cotter pin. If the wheel
is bit loose the axle will slip slight
~ when power is applied. and thus
make a noise similar to that caused
by turning a tapered glass stopper in
Il bottle. The wheel will not seem to
be loose at ALL but a quarter or half
turn of the nut will usually stop the
trouble and prove that il really was
loose.
